FFXI roped me in again (she'd make a hell of a wife)Follow

Sooooo... I've got a few questions. I just logged in last night for the first time in years. To my surprise, speed belt is only 7m, I got that (will try for that new hq later on, looks like the only hq worth making...). Then I got dusk gloves +1 for hella cheap (theres a sweet joy in selling 5 for 20m each, then buying one for 200k) While looking through the AH and drooling, I saw some shout to sell abody (only 2m and nidd is poppable?!) I asked about ebody, he said he was going for it. So it got me wondering,is ebody w/ augs the best body piece? If it is, I'd buy a few pops to give it a shot or even level up smithing to make hq. I'm still 75 and a ton to learn, it seems like so much is different I don't know where to begin, what pieces are best to go after, I hear acc is almost useless now too..I'm hoping for some guidance from the mead hall in these aimless times. I'll probably go back to new pandy (asura, on rag rock atm).

THANK YOU MEAD BEARER! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! (ill bring the booze next time, one waiting for you in canada). Now I get why first timers never read older posts lol

I talked with an old friend on pandy, he gave me a lot of advice too. Has rag, ebody+1 and used my war spellcast script. I'm going to write him a Stella drk spellcast script for his help too. I'll post a link one I have war, blu and drk spellcasts done for the few of us -all 4 of us- who are nitty gritty with details with equipment swaps

I don't have much time to play these days with studying architecture. I have too much gil (dont like to buy unsellables like relic) so my main focus is to solo NMs with war, pushing the limits of my favourite job. I want to try tiamat eventually (ultimate war vs war standoff!), I don't think its been done before. but ill practice with jorm first lol.

Although neither of you know me at all, I would very much have the interest in a solid war spellcast script.

Just thought I'd throw that out there?

Actually, Axciom, which two WS would you want to have specialized sets for? My original spellcast (old link in sig)) had 9 sets each for Engaged, Raging Rush and King's Justice. Raging Rush and Ukko's? Cleave? Is there any equipment you swap before Job Abilities? I've been out of the game for a long time, so I'm not too sure what new gear is available for Job Ability swaps. I had a Provoke set, AF2 head for Warcry, Virtue stone lock when Fortitude equiped, Tomahawk swap, Unicorn Leggings +1 latent swap, Curing Waltz swap, MDB swap (manual swap, I was really tired of dying to BLMs in Campaign), Campaign swap. Please let me know!

Can't really see any benefit to getting Upheaval if you have an Ukonvasara and can use Ukko's, personally.

I'll change it to Ukko's Fury and Upheaval, by default, but give the option in the variables to change the name to anything else. Though, I need to know what are common swaps for JAs? Off the top of my head I had AF2 mask for warcry, but I know there's a lot of augments and enhances on new gear I want to incorporate for the nitty gritty WARs. I still don't have WAR at 99 =X
