Best SB Methods

[StouterTaru]

It takes less than 30m to fully spiritbond an entire set of ilvl45+ gear solo (on BRD). Just find somewhere where there are plenty of lvl 45+ mobs and go to town. Using meteor rings is foolish as you've just reduced the # of gear slots available for SB by two.

If you put two meteor survivor rings on, that's about a 30% boost to 9 slots, while losing 2 slots, assuming you keep your main weapon. Spiritbond +1 gear is not worth it, you lose more than you gain, and Spiritbond +2 is a push in most cases.

Use HQ gear. Put cheap elemental materia in the 100% slots. Kill stuff that dies fast to you in crappy gear.

wear hq jewelry with one junk materia melded on each and head to bray hm (or any expert roulette).
get your soldiery, myth, and materia all in one fell swoop.

bray takes 3 runs, hali & amdipoor 2.5 ish. this is without any extra +?? SB

what about aetherite rings instead of meteor survivor rings? would it give same results, especially since I can craft em easy and sb same time for more benefit.

Never join any dungeons/raids with spiritbinding gear...you waste other peoples time and I, for my part, would BL you.
And only using accessories is a waste of time.

Fastest way to SB is using HQ gear with 1-2 melds and the GC buff, killing mobs lvl48+.
And equip ALL slots with gear to SB.

EDIT: I've tried using alot of Spiritbond+ items and the effect was so small that I didn't really notice and difference.
And ilvl 50 items won't give better results than ilvl 45+. The only difference is that ilvl45 items will SB faster than ilvl50.

News flash: Playing MMO ARE a waste of time. Go study/work instead of playing. You play, expect more time wasted. You judge others, others will judge you back. lol

I'm sorry but I can understand a little what Kyana is saying. Maybe not as far as BLing someone for it, but I really hesitate as a healer to jump into Brayflox or any other lvl 50 dungeon without my healers accessories on, or even replacing 1 armor piece for an item i'm trying to SB.

I'll SB on my own time, not on the time of my fellow players in a dungeon, where I'm there to do my job and help them complete it, as they are with me.

your opinion, which i find wrong!
i can run any dungeon with any sort of jewelry and preform.


i go into DR with 2 objectives.
1. maximize my outcomes
2. prevent others from forcing me into runs i didn't sign up for.

can i SR everything? yes
is it more apparent with my real gear? yes
can i still do it in SB gear? yes
do i soak up the commendations in SB gear in a SR? yes
can they see that i am not in full blue gear and should be cautious? yes


i got sick and tired of pushy tanks forcing me to become a heal bot so they could pull half the damn map so that it may reduce the time spent in a dungeon by a minute or two. mind you, this is without a comment, a hello, a 'do you want to SR', or anything of the sort. all they did was BE THE TARGET. poorly on so many runs mind you. time and time and time again. at this point my give-a-damn is busted!

How do you have two? Aren't they untradeable?

They are untradeable, but not unique, so you can have more than one. You can buy them from the calamity salvager for 5k or so (forget the actual price, it's a tiny amount of gil)

Only one mention of B1 Turn 3? sad
