So, I heard someone mumbling about using Mendacity to get weapons in 4.4 and I finally have my WHM pretty much (but not completely) past Mendacity and I'd like to gear a tank up to do Expert, but I don't wanna do it with a 300 weapon.
I'm not really interested in putting my nose on the grindwheel in Eureka...
Nobody is selling the 350 craftables, so I can't do the whole 350->360 upgrade...
Not wanting to spend 1.2mil on the latest craftable just so I can do expert roulette as tank.
And the only thing I could find that you could do with mendacity is the Sigmascape weapon... are you still limited to one crystalloid per week?
What other options do I have?
How does one get a weapon in 4.4?

Make friends, i've made plenty 380 stuff for fc mates/friends who got me the mendacity mats.
Or grind one, use mendacity tome and the sigmascape chrystals to get a 360 tome weapon. -

If "buy one with money" is not an option...
Heaven on High is an easy/free way to get an i365 weapon, though it may take you several hours of work. Bonus points, you can even do it on some other job.
Byakko EX drops i355 weapons, though you won't want to do it on your i300 weap job.
Suzaku EX drops i385 weapons, though it has the same caveat as Byakko.
If you have spare mendacity, then the medacity tome weapon (360, upgradable to 370) should be good. Sigmascape crystals aren't limited to 1 per week anymore, but it may be slow going waiting on queues. -

Are the Sigmascape Crystalloids still once per week?
It seems like Kefka is probably the easiest way to get an acceptable weapon for Expert...
And yeah I have a WHM with a 360 weapon.... but I'm not really sure I'm cut out for EX though lol. I've never tried it. -
10-02-2018, 01:11 AMRescue78No it's one per a clear now.Quote:

Can get a 330 weapon from hunt seals now. Past that, a few hours of HoH for a 365 that will be well enough to clear Suzaku EX for 385s.

Though... HoH is also a possibility, I never tried that before. How does HoH differ from PotD? I remember getting the PotD weapon... -
10-02-2018, 01:16 AMRaldoVery little difference. As far as getting the weapon goes... you can spend 10 weapon/armor points to get a "grip". When you have 10 grips, you can trade them for a weapon.Quote:

10-02-2018, 01:19 AMMaekaYeah, that's the thing, checked just a bit ago and it's 17m for a healer. lol. That's why I think I'll go with HoH... just spam the first 10 floors or something. And that grip system is way better than the PotD system, lol.Quote:

You can also upgrade the Mendacity weapon easily by running Rabnasty and Lighthouse once each and exchange the coins for the upgrade item in Rhalgr's Reach. Then you'll have a relatively easy i370 weapon.

For ex:
Susano for 320
Shinryu for 335
Byakko for 355
Tukuyomi for 365
Suzaku for 385
For normal:
O4N for 330 uncapped
S4N for 360 uncapped
A4N for 390 capped 1 item / week
Maybe farm O4N for the 330 weapon and then go for for the 360 weapon? I think those might be easier or faster then EX's considering how many pugs wipe on those even with the 'duty completion' box ticked.
What's the Ilvl of your armor?
I took a break from the game since second raid and currently I have 360 armor and the Byakko ex weapon (total Ilvl is 359) and I have no trouble doing experts with those. -

If you make PF about farming S4N crystalloids, I guarantee you it'll fill faster than DF.

7 datalogs from Omega 4 fight (One per week, so seven weeks there) + 1000 genesis = the new 290 tome weapon. It will be upgradable to 300 toward the last patch of the cycle with the three coins from the three 24 man raids of the tier.
So you can get the 290 version in 7 weeks of work for the datalogs pretty casually at one clear a week, and the Genesis shouldn't be hard too get in that time at all.
