Revelations Strategy Guide FFXI

[Daemon]

be aware of the ensuing skill gap you are creating, you'll need to correct that at some point. Skill-up rate is max against EM-T prey, and cannot cap at all below DC-.

Yeah I'm still working on this part. It's not done yet. Also that part of the guide was a tip on leveling fast.

[Glamdring]

oh, I totally understood that, was just pointing out that you might want to remind people of the trade-off. The pro to speed leveling that way is that there is no need to regear that soon, or hit up your next spell scroll or whatnot (granted, if you pack it in advance you can just use it in the field). the con is that it will take you longer to skill-up later.

oh, warning #2 one of the primary rules, "don't get cocky", i.e. you've gotten whatever down to EP, congratulations, that doesn't mean you can necessarily survive 6 of those beating on you simultaneously, and if you die you get to redo that XP.

The skill up food information is wrong ( not entirely your fault as the NA side has had bad information all along on that front).

A guide was released in Japan with all food effect details. The foods give a flat multiplier to skill up rate ( elshena family combat and pitaru family magic) and since the highest ( Montagna and B.E . W. ) give 1.8x they should always be used.

Do you have a link to that information so I can correct what I posted based on wiki, FFXIAH, bluegartr and allakhazam?

I did put Elshena group as combat, Pitaru as magic.

Also the level range at which those food can be used. Montagna and BEW are the best but i would have assumed the other foods work for lower skill ranges. Price also makes a difference. If you have a link to official info could you please post it and thanks it would definitely be appreciated.

You can find links to the JP information on BG Wiki under Skill Up foods.

You can find links to the JP information on BG Wiki under Skill Up foods.

According to JP wiki: http://wiki.ffo.jp/html/25100.html
Skill Rate Multiplier Melee Food Mage Food
Skill rate 1.2x Saltena Stuffed Pitaru
Skill rate 1.4x Elshena Poultry Pitaru
Skill rate 1.6x Montagna Seafood Pitaru
Skill rate 1.8x Maringna B.E.W. Pitaru

Does this mean there is no level range? Would a level 1 be able to use BEW and Montagna? If anyone can confirm this, would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Asymptotic]

That is correct. It's a flat multiplier regardless of level.

That is correct. It's a flat multiplier regardless of level.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Edit: Went back and made edits to the info. Please let me know if there are any other mistakes. Thank you again.

I might of been off a level or two in a couple spots on that leveling path, but I have done it solo for the most part on whm, rdm, blm, sch, blu, drg, sam up to 49 or 50 depending on if partnered up with someone in a spot using that path. Sch, Drg and Blu have done the whole thing. Mostly going lv 10ish gear lying around and RSE equipment when it became available for armor. And have multiple others was working on taking through it, just delayed by bonaza marbles eating up space. Just after Garlaige's bat and beetle page, it becomes really variable as to what locations work best. That whole mob hp going up faster than damage output, and different mobs TP moves can be a pain for different jobs.
