i110 accessories speculation (WAR)

[Ehayte]

Snip.

Great info - thanks for sharing - yeah I bought 12 VIT 4s last week so I'm hoping the profit on those will partially fund this little endevour. I'm working on my melding strategy at the moment and will share once I figure out what I'm doing to come up with something very good but relatively cheap.

I think if you wait towards the end of this week and have a good friend that's a 4* GSM (or are one yourself), the accessories can be had for a relatively reasonable price. The real cost is in melding them. VIT IV materia is blowing up in price because of this. STR IV will soon follow (if it hasn't already).

God, I can't believe they didn't nerf these accessories. Perhaps they don't mind letting us feel like gods since the Heavensward gear reset is coming. STR IV has always been consistently cheaper than VIT IV on my server, so I think that I'll end up melding the Fending accessories again. So what if I miss out on some DET... I'm gaining way too much STR to care!

EDIT: VIT IV is 500k and STR IV is 40k. I think my path is clear!

There are many ways to get this material:


2) It's a guaranteed reward for a one time quest and is also a guaranteed reward for a weekly quest along with Carboncoat (do all 3 CT raids per week to get it)

Where is the "3 crystal tower a week" quest?

Where is the "3 crystal tower a week" quest?

It's available from the same guy that gives you the WoD quest after you complete WoD for the first time I believe.

[Truedragon]

I just went back to that guy and I think I got the quest. But the reward is only allagan catalyst? What about the carbontwine and coats?

[Dervy]

There's another quest afterwards called "All about NOAH" Or something which unlocks the weekly quest "The Gift of the Archmagus". That's the weekly quest and you only get carboncoats + allagan catalyst.

What are the stats like on the str accessories? I bought 8 Vit 4s and don't want Parry.. so need to figure out what I want.

I would prefer to start with Ring and Ear rings as I have DW Fending bracelet, and the Ironworks Slaying choker looks good.

Slaying
Neck - SkSp
Earring - Det
Wrist - Accur
Ring - SkSp

Fending
Neck - Parry
Ear - Accur
Wrist - Crit
Ring - Parry

Busy at work, still trying to figure out the right way to get to the VIT I need. With the variations in stats, it will probably be Fending Wrist / Slaying Ear for me. I'm going to do the CT quests to get the materials for my 4* buddy and supply him with the gil to make them for me. I bought the STR4s I needed this morning for 40k ea.... Hopefully I get my Ragnorak soon so I will have 3 dps slaying accessories and 2 penta meld i110 for that beastly combo of 600+ VIT/STR

[SirTaint]

Fending ear is ACC and fending wrist is Crit. Safe bet to do those first.

I'm going to run with those 2 i110s and 3 slaying accessories for 10-12 and 2 i110s, 2 slaying 1 fending for t13.

[Ehayte]

2 i110s, 2 slaying 1 fending for t13.

Wuss.

; D

j/k - but yeah.... I need to come up with something flexible as getting dread/upgrading ironworks is going to change the sksp and accur stats around so I need to make sure that I can either get to 558 accur with either steamed catfish or the cheaper and more useless finger sandwich.
