Job points, Merit points.

Depending on the JSE capes you're after, I'd argue Incursion (the best JP activity besides grinding them in Dho/Woh) is a very productive activity. RNG is annoying, sure, but some of the capes are pretty powerful for a single slot. Incursion also has the side benefit of having a cape that can give an additional +10-50% CPs.

As for grinding them out, high tier BCs are still in demand for either their gear or their tales. Make it a point to merit back to cap in Dho/Woh/Incursion rather than Aby or VW.

As of yesterday I started getting exp in Dho gates with a WHM and trust NPCs, used Joachim + Ulmia for songs and Koru-Moru for Haste II, Refresh II, was hoping he'd use distract but after eating sushi I suppose his AI decided that my accuracy vs the mobs evasion (Jagils in this case) was too large to bother so the WHM just did distract and dia 2 on every mob. I was on PLD, probably not the best merit/jp farming job but that's what I wanted job points on, I got about 120k exp/hr and 16k cp/hr without rings.

Got a couple job points out of it but was kinda slow, still I'd rather get job points than mindlessly burn in Abyssea which bores me to no end. I do wonder if I should have gone /dnc and dual wielded swords though, rather than /war sword + shield.

Snag a DD friend as a 6th and do the mentioned /Dnc bit and you'll be rocking them pretty good. Those pugils and crabs only have about 14-15kish HP. Did something similar earlier today actually, though it was Sam, Drk, Geo, Ulmia, Joachim, and Koru. I didn't keep an accurate tally, but with a 50% CP cape, 2x charges of Capacity Ring and about 70ish minutes of grinding, I pulled in 4 JPs.

It would certainly be nice to have one of those incursion capes, never actually done incursion so for now I'll have to go with normal capacity point gain.

PLD+Dagger + Marj + pull everything = win.

Dual swords /laugh.
