    Like Garuda's axe is something I can just walk into the wards and buy... anyway, now that I've got that out of the way;

    Frankly, I'm not convinced that a primal axe is always better than a melded axe, especially when it's a triple melded axe we're talking about. I understand that some caps are based on the DPS stat on your weapon, but I think I'm gonna go for it anyway. Essentially, I'll end up with very similar STR and VIT numbers, with vastly higher crit attack power and a huge boost in crit rate to support it. I'm not convinced that the lower base DPS cannot be overcome with crits.

    Curious that by now you haven't gotten at least enough totems to buy one. Abaddon is event LS no?

    I can't help you with that then. There is a very good reason primal weapons are used as often as they are and it doesn't have much to do with them being "free".

    I haven't beaten Garuda. We made a conscious decision not to do the BLM exploit, and have been focusing our attention elsewhere for the most part.

    You've got a point here, but with addition of the new GC axe's you've also got no excuse. instead of spamming primals to maybe get a drop now we all have the option of farming seals to eventually reach a very obtainable goal of 25k to grab these sexy Mofos which have a higher dps rating and in most cases base dmg than ifrits or moogle.

    I've got a great excuse actually, I'd need about 75k seals to get one. I need my 25k item for the relic quest, 25k for a promotion, and another 25k for the latest gc axe. I do have other priorities. Sure, I'll buy one eventually. For now though, I can use all that VIT matera I've been getting from spritbonding Demilune Bhujes to try to get a new toy to play with.

    LOL that's really funny! You didn't bother getting Ifrit,Moogle or Garuda Axe or even a GC AXe, but you are going to Relic! The promotion 25k you get back btw, but that's still 50k!

    I was referring to the primal weapon remark. Kuma's making shit up.


    Also, I ended up getting the explorer's moccasins. I've gotta say, I really like them too. Fighting level 50-52 amaljaa and while not using any skills to increase crit rate, my crit rate was just over 16%. In other (real world) scenarios, caravan escort etc, I've been able to get my crit rate over 30% and be the top DD in the party. Yeah, my crit build f'ing rocks so far. It will only get better when I add more crit attack power and more STR and VIT.
