Spiritbonding and Glamor Questions

[Miyu20]

I am not really a new player but the questions I ask are probably of this caliber.

1. When you glamor something to your body (Example: Glamor a level 43 weapon to a level 50 Dragoon), is it then easier to spiritbond the level 43 weapon?

2. Do FC Commands and Spiritbond Potion's effects stack?

3. How do you spiritbond?

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions three. ^__^

No, because you're not equipping the weapon. Glamoring binds the weapon to you but spiritbond only starts if you actually use the weapon.

I think so.

How do I personally spiritbond? Well right now I'm leveling classes so I just switch out stuff as soon as it hits full percent. Lots of lvl fifty people spiritbond in Mor Dhona.
If you're asking HOW, just equip a weapon/armor and use it. The spiritbond increases the more you use/wear the equipment.

Thank you. I meant how do YOU spiritbond ^__^

I wear level 50 gear and do main scenario roulette. Some people hate that though, because apparently ilvl 110 is the minimum required gear check for a level 50 dungeon.

> I don't think glamour affects the rate. If you want something to spiritbond faster than usual, meld a cheap grade 1 materia into the item that you want to spiritbond. Each meld if I'm not wrong boost the speed by 20%, it's advisable to only meld materia into the safe slots as overmeld is a waste of gil should it fail.

2. Do FC Commands and Spiritbond Potion's effects stack?
I'm sure they do, I've seen many people use the potion and activate the buff and wear two Meteor Survivor rings at the same time. That should give the user Increase Spiritbond rate + 12.

3. How do you spiritbond?
Normally people will do the following.
> Purchase gears from NPC, ones that has ilvl45 and above. Wear them all and preferably equip your best weapon, get as many spiritbond increase stack (Meteor Ring, Spiritbond potion, etc) and form the "Red Smock Gang" party at Urth's Gift where it has the level 50 Water Sprites at the end of the map. Start destroying each one of them until the environmentalist filed a report on you.
There are other ways to do this fast but the one mentioned above is usually the common method. For higher ilvl gears like 70 or 90 they are usually spiritbonded inside dungeons.

Hope this helps.

As others answered already the other questions... be aware HQ gear binds faster than NQ gear and materia also makes the binds faster.
i70 gear fastest bind with Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 4 you can make around 25% with 1 run in HQ gear and materia melded. Also binds pretty fast in Labyrinth of the Ancients, Ak, WP... well generally the lower ilvl dungeons.
i90 gear you bind accordingly with Second Coil... i think Turn 6/ Turn7 trashpulls are fastest here. Alternatively here Syrcus Tower and the recent Expert dungeons i guess.

Gear at around i55 bound fastest so far in Aurum Vale btw
