Ninja: Walk in shadow.

Too many to quote but thanks for that input guys. Will help quite a bit.

Aren't the new tombstone weapon like ilvl 130 or something?

Is it worth it to increase INT for NIN to increase dmg for skill like Raiton, Katon & Doton ? with 10 point in INT and then a piece of INT jewel ?

Even if they're boosted by Foe Requiem, there's no guarantee that they're boosted by INT. . .

EDIT: In fact, I'm going to argue that they are based on DEX just like everything else. Unequip everything but your weapon, and see how much the damage changes. Bet it's rather drastic, as opposed to the 0 change you'd expect if it were INT-based.

In this game damage doesn't scale off of a stat rather than scaling off of attack rating. The class/job determines which stat influences the attack rating, which is dex for ninja.

If an attack is categorized as a 'spell' and thus boosted in damage by foe's has nothing to do with the stat needed to raise it's damage, it's main stat = attack rating all the way.

However, with all the other weapon options available, is it still worth it to go for Yoshitmitsu Novus / Nexus?

Meh. U can get soldiery/shiva weap, then HA weap, then tome weap, then final coil weap that has a Crit and Det on it. Not worth doing right now in my opinion. I mean yea you can make a nexus with crit/det for when it reaches 135, but thats already been done for you with final coil weap.

Thanks. I think I'll follow this route and just build my Animus casually. Ninja has already set me back in terms of ilvl. Don't want to fall too far behind.

Raiton is scaled by DEX but also affected by Foe's Requiem. It's quite the awesome.

Hi all,

I'm new to FFXIV (started 2 weeks ago) and just started planning when the 2.4 patch and picked up Rogue/Ninja as main. I just hit 50 and was wondering what I should be equipping my NIN with after 50? What equipment should I be aiming for like every 10 ilvls? What dungeons, primals, etc should I be spamming to get my equipment. Pretty overwhelmed right now with all these difference currencies and such.
