Duties, tasks and deeds

No, not the mythic quest where the rat asks you to jump through all sorts of retarded hoops. Speaking of which, good luck to anyone trying to build a mythic now since the new AF3 pieces destroy most salvage gear. The falling price of wootz ingots speaks volumes but I digress.

Since the update has come, I've decided to put the DNC leveling on hold for the time being and focus on my 80+ jobs. Ultimately I'll probably end up with just BLU, SAM and DNC going all the way to 99. The other day it came to me that I do not have a single piece of magian cutlery in progress for my BLU. In light of recent changes to weather/day trials, it was time to stop being gimp and rectify that once and for all. So where to start? Of course a logical step to putting more muscle behind spell damage - a STR path shamshir +1. The part that's going to suck the worst is the flans, especially now since things like the astral candescence in Aht Urhgan will probably be lost forever since Abyssea fever has now firmly taken hold. Hell, it's a miracle if a server even has Fiat Lux these days. Maybe once that's done, I'll try and get my hands on some of that AF3 everyone's buzzing about.

The Typhoon is Benthic!

So SE gives us what is perhaps the next generation of our beloved Cannonball. Its name is Benthic Typhoon. However, SE throws us a curve ball here since it's said to have a 50% AGI mod in lieu of the usual stats we see.

So here is a potential AGI build for said spell. Our inventory's already stretched as it is! Most of this stuff isn't all that hard to get though again I go back to the inventory thing. Between food, meds, tools (if /NIN), and our usual gear. Um... yeah. It's like relic DRGs and Geirskogul (which is also AGI modded) yet I don't see too many DRGs with special gearsets for it.
