[neizero]

what are the stats for ifrits harpoon and bow?

Haven't had a bow drop yet, but Ifrit's Harpoon has 151 base damage, and then +20 atk, +15 fire resist, and additional effect: fire damage, like all of the other melee weapons.

[EmeraldHill]

So for a game where people have been 50 for months on end, having the best gear available, it still took about a week to kill the first real boss?

Either the boss requires actual strategy or FFXIV players are slow o.O

Also, I didn't read much of the thread, but something about that the people who defeated Iflirt needed a third-party program to do so?

The skill requirement is definitely way higher than past stuff but don't forget this patch effectively gear-wiped everyone. This isn't just a week of hardcore Ifrit attempts this is also a week of hardcore spiritbond materia farming.

With exp rates as they are currently it'd take about a day to do all that o.O Including the gathering and what not. Like I said, maybe FFXIV LSs aren't as hardcore as I'm used to.

you must be new here.

It was 5 days, 20 hours a day spread over roughly 150 attempts. Yes the skill requirement on the first major boss is this high and yes materia farming is required and No what people were talking about was a damage parser to compare dps.

The spiritbond grind is neverending because it's a dice roll. You can't get good roll Tier IV's of everything you need for everyone in 1 day. You have to bond over and over and over again amassing huge piles of junk materia to get to what you want.

What are the standards here though? Decent materia or over-kill materia?

BG that was on palamecia was neobg. We are a collection of the original RoTZ FFXI BG + Vanilla WoW BG. Any of the nostalgic dynamis/sky/wyrm videos everyone came to love and adore sprouted from this groups teats.

HP/MP materia are important for the fight and our core kill group wasn't even fully slotted. You will not win on materia alone because the fight has a high skill ceiling. It is get out of the fire, get correct positioning and dps balls to the wall 24/7 or you will lose. A single death means curtains on any attempt pre 10%. If it's a healer the group will sponge up MP. If it's a DPS Ifrit's auto-regen will negate dps progression. Snowball effect at it's finest.
