    Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole Atma/Zodiac weapon thing. If the High Allagan Grimoire is BiS, is there really much reason to spend so much time getting the Zodiac? Or do we just expect that to get better at some point?

    Zodiac weapon is guaranteed. There's a lot of losers in Allagan rng.

    I've been farming Twintania since December and only recently got my Allagan book. Most will get their Zodiac before they even see Turn 9.

    Same question I also did think over. Allagan book ist the onliest one before high allagan book with crit. I will try to farm the T5 book today.

    But one question ist still in my mind: make it sense to replace it with something else before I someday get the high allagan book?

    Yes. As the item level of your weapon goes up, so does the magic damage and mind bonus on the weapon. Weapon damage and mind have the greatest impact on base healing than any other statistic. That would make the Omnilex Animus, Tidal Wave Codex, and Weathered Book of Diamonds all more effective than the Allagan Grimoire.

    a question related to this:

    how accurate would you guys say the healing calculators are on blitzball? Specifically the "Healing Returns" calculator?

    General Healing Calculator

    Healing Returns Calculator

    i'm really interested in knowing, because if the "Healing Returns" calculator is accurate, then the only difference between this i104 23.52% Crit-Rate build and this i110 19.06% Crit-Rate build is a 1.89% difference in total healing despite a pretty big difference of 21 Mind.

    if it's accurate, i honestly don't think the difference in mind would bother me, too much.

    *fingers crossed*

    From iLvl 90 to iLvl 100 weapons I'm with you, as it give 3 points of weapon base. But from the iLvl 95 to 100 weapon, the benefit is only one point and loosing 39 points critical hit rate.

    That the benefit from the upgraded new rowena weapons (iLvl 110) will be more (4 points), is no question. But would really like to see some calculations, why it should be sould be worth to loose that crit points by replacing the weapon with any iLvl 100 weapon (no one has crit on it).
