requirements for rhapsodies?

[Michae]

I quit ffxi about a year ago since by that time I was pretty bored with it. But came back to do rhapsodies to see how they are wrapping it up.

I progress fine until I got to the part where I had to kill3 night spawns in the new zone. I am on pup, my h2h is maxed out, I am using acc food. I have i117 gear mixed with other things like Thaumas Coat and Epona's Ring and I can barely hit them. Miss Miss Miss. And I am of course using trusts.

I want to finish rhapsodies but I cannot find help that doesn't require payment. You would think they would make it a little more accessible to those who are returning, cause frankly I want to see how the game ENDS without having to do weeks of pointless grinding.

What exactly am I do to here? Am I missing something?

I have i117 gear mixed with other things like Thaumas Coat

First off, ditch the Thaumas coat. On most content these days that thing is both suicide as well as a crutch.
As you yourself are already saying, you can't hit the broad side of a barn with it, and even exp/CP mobs will flatten you in 2/3 hits if they catch you wearing it.

The Naraka you are trying to fight are level 125, by the gear you are describing you are probably barely scraping iLevel 115.
Strive for iLevel 117 or higher gear in all your slots if you want to have a chance at soloing these, otherwise ask for help.
Upping you own iLevel also increases the level of your trusts by the way.

Ok, I will rep the coat with an i117 and see what that can do for me.

Thanks

Aren't trusts' levels based solely on the item level of your mainhand weapon?

[Alhanelem]

gaining some job points will also help. there are some permanent accuracy bonuses in there. Also the accuracy vorseals.

No, i'm pretty sure it's your avg ilvl as shown in the status window.

Personal experience as well and BGwiki says otherwise.

Hey there, if you're still having issues with it I'd be happy to help (assuming you're still on Asura).

EDIT: Oh, either I misread your world, or it was updated. Sorry, good luck with rhapsodies.

I'll just go with that then. I was i117 with trusts on summoner one time and they seemed as if they were weaker than they were on PUP that was all 119, fighting the same stuff. But I was just eyeballing it. So I'll have to concede that point.

Chapter 1 of Rhapsodies is aimed at level 1-70. Chapter 2 is aimed at level 99. Chapter 3 is aimed at level 117-119. If you aren't wearing all iLevel equipment, you are going to have trouble with the missions. Reisenjima is an endgame zone. The final boss of the story is going to be the most challenging. You don't have to grind all that much, as you can get decent equipment from Alluvion Skirmish, which is soloable.

You should be aiming for at least 1100 base acc to be useful for anything anyhow. Suck it up and pay for carries to get the gear you're required to have for the content you're doing to get it.
