Bet it'd look awesome with that new THM only staff! Astralagos? Something like that... the one with the orbiting moons!

Yes It does! I saw someone with that today! So much epic!

Where are the potash and aqueous whetstones? lol

Golden Bazaar NPC! ^^

Congrats sayuri and happy birthday!

Saw someone at Uldah steps with Vanya Robe +1 and Astralobe +1

Hmm, cool, i'll check there again! They didn't have them at golden bazaar last nite.

thats awesome. Is the vanya gear meldable?

It is, but it's Thaumaturge only. Black Mage can't use it.

It's just my opinion, I don't want two sets of gear when one will do just find that will work for both Thm/Blm. And the Mgaic attack potency is the only thing you get from the robe which is nice. But that Thm only really kills it.

+1 cocoons? I guess you were going for HQ gear only then? I don't think the armor requires HQ parts like the weapons do.

is that true? the armor don't need HQ parts?

looks better then blm af imo
thm is pretty self sufficient too. you don't need blm skills to endgame in most cases, except convert. and not having convert would be a deal breaker for me.

Each piece requires a "Flawless Vanya Silk Lining". To make this, you have to HQ the Twinthread then HQ the Silk and pray you HQ the Lining. Since the Silk require "Potash" which you cannot get in HQ, your chances of HQing the silk hover around 40% if you lucky.

You do need HQ parts, http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...assId=&rankId=

"Flawless Vanya Silk xxx Lining"


EDIT: beaten! Also grats on the set, it looks hawt, working on it now that Potash popped on the NPC!

Congrats again Sayuri, looks amazing :D

Oh, I didn't know that! So NQ crawler cocoons are going to be nigh-worthless, wonderful :(

The NPC here isn't selling them..it is Seserikku no?

I wanted to make myself and my sister a Vanya Set because it is really pretty. Then I saw it needed HQ parts and expensive item from an NPC. I decided I wasn't willing to blow the gil I have saved up just in hopes of getting everything right so I could finally make the gear itself. I don't see these gears selling very well except for looks since most people today just use Jobs. I for one still do Ifrit on my THM and would have loved this set for that but oh well :(

Hopefully when 2.0 comes out and level cap is raised, the synth process for this will be more on par with other gears. I'd really love this set some day ^^

Fayette I feel the same way :( After looking at the ridiculous stuff it requires..(more time sink, not a challenge.) I said forget it..not worth it. ._.

I would love it for CNJ solo or for when I'm not main-healing an endgame event... but yeah, the amount of money just isn't realistic right now. Even with farming all the mats, it's not a guarantee.

Congrats on your set and happy birthday. :)

It is very hard to make gear for sure! It took several of my friends many hours to procure the mats and one extremely skilled crafter to make it. Which is also why I love this gear so much! They did it outta love! ^^

Its easy to say when you have the set that you want it to remain hard to get but I do believe if it was made to easy to obtain, it would no longer be as special. It would be like the AF gear and not something unique and worth working for.

And as far as the usefulness of the gear. It all depends on how you play and how you ultimately meld the gear. So far in some testing, with my Vanya melded, I can not only keep up with Black mages but sometimes out DPS them. As a thm, I have almost 400 more HP as well. The things you lose as thm over blm that are important are Flare, Convert & Sleepga. As for Flare, Firaga has the same cast time and does similar if not more damage from my tests but it doesn't leave the burning effect. To compensate for not having Convert, I use Elixirs that gimme 1050mp and I use my Parsimony wisely. As for Sleepga, if that is something that is required in the party, blm is the only option. No way to get around that but if you need damage, this set on a thm rocks! ^_^ But again, it all goes back to play style and skill of the player!

Oh and btw, Astrolabe+1! \^.^/

Where is the best place to farm effervescent water +1?
Or do you made the yarn with only the cocoons +1?

You can farm the effervescent water +1 from the Nightblade Assassins in a cave outside of Drybone. Cave entrance is at X:44, Y:25. The assassins are level 45-48. I used my Warrior and tried not to pull them all at one time. Good Luck! ^^

I tried this the past few days and got plenty of hq mineral water. I have yet to see effervescent, however.

I killed a few and got only mineral water also, and left thinking I was in wrong spot. Went back later and found they drop both types of water. Try again and you will get your effervescent waters.

The drop rate is not great, but it does drop. Maybe you can get 2 ~ 4 HQ effervescent waters per hour? That seems to be my average. ^^;
