Wise gear.

Is well cool.
Typically, it's the 'lolRDM' set, that people who are unforgivably gimp/confused use full time but it does have some actual use for RDM, albeit its effect being difficult to justify over the loss of inventory space. The reason I just invested in some is for Chainspell stunning. Although the Chasuble is arguably no better than an Errant houppelande (+5 m.acc vs +10 INT respectively), I really just bought it for the looks, I'll probably be selling it on soon. The legs again, vs. Mahatma slops the use is debateable (2 m.acc vs. 8 INT) although there are claims that INT has no effect on dark magic (such as Drain and Aspir) so I may lean towards m.acc on those, plus I have very little magic accuracy gear, so it can't hurt to have some instead of piling on yet more INT. The wise cap (+5 m.acc) certainly does surpass anything else I have for chainspell stunning, however I'll still stick to my Chapeau when using stun/drain/aspir without chainspell to cut down on the recast timers.


Why the sudden intrest in chainspell-stun gear?


Dreamlands dynamis - Buburimu/Valkurm/Qufim usually involve us gathering RDM/DRKs to chainspell stun the bosses, since they have some particularily unpleasant moves (see ~1k damage AoE ranged attack, pictured).

Our recent Qufim run was a success, (despite some instances of unnecessary aggro) - the boss was brought down, and we got a good number of Relic accessories/-1 gear:


Not pictured: Some broken bard shoes dropped towards the end, but I was too busy being harrassed by bats to get a shot of it. We were very lucky to begin with, the ??? point to unlock subjobs was found very swiftly, and they were unlocked before everyone had even entered the area.

I'm 2/3 on clears for Dynamis-Tavnizia access, just need the Buburimu clear now. Considering Tavnazia is a fairly small zone, and only 18 people can enter (oh my..) I do not see it ending well. Not at all.


I like dreamlands Dynamis much more than the regular stuff, primarily because it isn't so soul-crushingly long - although I've only done cities, and I hear that icelands is at least a little more interesting.

I got Cuddles his sprinter's shoes, but I just remembered I didn't get the Gustaberg Maw, so I must remember to do that before I warp him anywhere (else it's a long run through Pashhow > Grauberg > Gustaberg again ._.). Salvage still sucks.
