Did some minor updating today.

Fixed Relic info.
Added a Sam/Rng video.
Fixed some subjob information.
Re-worded some Race information.

Reconstructed a section. It is now Samurai Skillchain/Macro Techniques.

I added in some information there, and added some useful Macros for others to learn about.

Again, Thank you all for the great feedback.

Keep working on this man! It's been reallllly helpful for me as i speed through samurai. 19-53 in 2 weeks thanks to my static partner being crazy and all. Keep up the good work, and thank you for the help!

Someone has to post a sticky request on some forum, for an Admin to see and take care of it.


I would love to add your SC dmg Table to this Guide.

Due to the recent update on... 4/19?, The Store TP Chart will need some minor changes as well.

In the next few days, I will be most likely changing some of the setup, as well as adding some more stuff.

This guide is very nicely done! Great job!

Well Kerreck...

Someone has to actually request this on the Admin forum place. Once that is done, then they look at it and all, and take care of it.

Ok Mach. The food section really could use some overhauling. Yea.... and for the cap stuff, and level ranges for them... I did it very quickly, and I apologize. I will be sure to work on it though.


I put Sushi then.... because it offers the "most accuracy" at the time. I simply put it there for completeness. Also note, theres Attack foods listed at the same levels also. I did this, with intentions of people using the foods part of the Guide, as more of a reference to stats and such.


You arent a jerk. We all have ideas and opinions. I am glad you replied to the thread. Now, I know what exactly I should work on. I thank you for the criticism.

Editing and additions to the Guide lately.... have been few, and I apologize. Finals are about 2 weeks away, and I have been extremely busy. I am trying to work on this Guide, and my Summoner Forum Sticky as well, and it just takes alot of time.

Please bare with me the next few weeks.... for my lack of free time for this. It will be worked on as soon as I have the time available.

Bump. This thing is useful

This needs a bump and a sticky.

Hey i like it... I am a lvl 40 Sam saving for armor... (snipers rings >.< )
Good job dude... ^_^ /cheer... I have been having abit of trouble down loading the video's tho... it always says Sever can't be found... anyways Great guide!

Soboro sam/rng in exp video not working for anyone else? I can download it ok, but I think the file might have been removed? Any chance of getting it rehosted?

Brilliant Guide

This has become like my Samurai Bible. Thanks for all the info.

I've been looking for this one from a 4 month break so..



/bump



:)

[Um...]

My galka is a lvl 24 sam/rng and he has Zanshin... And you have it listed as lvl 60.

I dont know if its from an update but Zanshin is a lvl 20 job trait.

Other than that, awsome guide!

Update: Fixed spelling cause i suck.

I just wanted to say that I've had my Equipment Sticky removed for lack of updates, but you'll still be able to find it easily through the link in this sticky. Thanks!

I came to this place to find out where all the samaurai that I have pt with are getting their information. I now see where.

This is a very good guide and very easy to read. However, it, like others, places emphasis on the warrior subjob.

I am a paladin, and have no desire really to level samurai, but post 60 it seems there will never be a party that does not have at least one in it. Especially since the update to two-handed weapons that has made samurai even more powerful than they already were.

What I would like to point out, is that a samurai spamming WS and berserk from the warrior sub, can and WILL take hate from even a paladin with every slot filled to the brim with enm+. I have over 30 points of added enm with all the gear that I farmed long and hard for, and yet I still find myself forced to cover a berserk-happy sam that can dish it, but of course can't take it.

This is multiplied even more when they wear the pieces of AF that give tp, but strangely enough, also give enm+.

The enm+ on a sam's AF leads me to conclude only that this class, though used as DD, was meant as tank. But since sams will rarely, if ever, be USED as tank, it's very important for a successful party that they do not take hate FROM the tank.

Upon reading this guide, though I see that you did mention that its important to take the party's needs into account, it still talks up warrior as a sub greatly, and thf as a sub not so much. Even that it is listed first makes me think that this is the decided sub of choice for a sam.

I like the sam class and I think that the damage that you do is magnificent. But a paladin, who has access to the most and best enm+ gear in the game, should NEVER have to cover a sam. It has gotten to the point where I seriously will not even join a party unless the sams in it sub thief. The best parties that I have been in were with sam/thf who would trick off me with a tachi:gekko and then sneak a few moments later with the same. Hate was never bounced, and they still were able to outparse everyone else in the party.

And I'm sure that's what all of you are mainly concerned with anyway.

There simply is not enough enm gear in the game available to keep hate from a sam using berserk post 60. And don't forget that berserk enhances attacks, but LOWERS defense as well. So when you take hate from me and my ninja cousins, you are in serious trouble. ESPECIALLY if you are pt with one of my ninja cousins, because they cannot cover you. There are classes in the game with NATURAL abilities that require a paladin's cover, such as our sisters in darkness who have Souleater. A paladin should never have to cover you because you are using an ability from a subjob.

So please, all of you sams out there who will not tank, cut your parties a break and level thf to 37. It make's everyone's xp much faster.



It's funny. When I first started paladin my biggest fear was 'will we have a good enough mage that I will live to see the next battle?"

Now, when I get a pt invite, my biggest fear and first question is, how many sam/WAR do you have? Because I am no longer the one in any danger of dying.

Can samurai quest the WS Arching Arrow? If so, how do I start it?

for anyone that bothers to read to the end of this, the correct sTP chart should be:

Delay  WTP    8Hits   7Hits   6Hits   5Hits   4Hits    
399   10.2    23      41      64      97      146      
407   10.4    21      38      61      93      141  
414   10.6    18      35      58      89      136  
420   10.7    17      34      57      87      134  
428   10.9    15      32      54      84      130  
436   11.1    13      29      51      81      126  
437   11.1    13      29      51      81      126  
450   11.5     9      25      46      74      118  
463   12.1     4      19      39      66      107  
464   12.1     4      19      39      66      107  
480   13       0      10      29      54      93

max COR SAM roll is +50sTP, so with a full sTP build, food, and COR you could theoretically reach any value on this chart except the 399 4hit, but you're still a few shy of being able to get a 3 with with anything but Ito (999 delay).
