Sam Gear Lvl 99

Nope. it is not.

Ok cool, sorry about that i slipped. Appreciate it.

updated yoichi sets for the very few people that care lol

TP

Kemas can be replaced with w/e
bullwhip ==> phos
brego ==> tenryu tekko +1


Namas

hachi pants / emp+2 pants might be better depending on what your fighting.

Pretty sure the hexed hakama pants beat out ogiers.

these? Tenryu hakama +1

good call, with the 3% WS damage augment they win by a longshot

Looking for some feedback on my current TP set. I know I need Phorcys Salade as well as Ganesha's Mala but I'm wondering if there are any other improvements I can make to it outside of those pieces and Phos/Phos+1.



Also have 2 questions. Would Ace's Mufflers beat out Brego Gloves if you can stand to lose the 4 STP? And how does Ghillie+1 compare to Unkai Mimikazari?

I think you can even get +4% on HQ aug.

honestly it's probably not worth it in the long run, but if you are capped accuracy they are better by a smidgen >.>

3% zanshin /4 = .75% zanhasso proc increase.

[Ace's]
so 3str and .75% zanhasso proc increase.
vs
[Brego]
9 accuracy and +4 stp

3% is the HQ.

Alright, thank you for the info. Very much appreciated.

My bad. Thought I saw a SS of +4 somewhere. Guess not >_<

TP:



Shoha:



Any tips? I have access to a good amount of Sam equipment and I think I have most of the harder to get items other then that damn Hahava neck.. any tips are appreciated :D.. Oh! The one above is just a basic TP set that I put together so a Hasso / Seigan set would be nice as well :3

For your TP set I do believe you're stacking the store TP a bit. If you switch out your neck, grip and RA you should still have enough store TP to WS+4hit. Pole grip, thew bomblet, Ganesha mala would work I believe.

Such a ridiculous dead horse I may be beating with this. I apologize for asking a look over on this for like the 20th time so bear with me please. I wanted to confirm these sets for TP/Kaiten as optimal with the proper information described in their descriptions.

Melee TP

20.8 TP per hit, 25% Haste, Quadruple Attack+2%, Double Attack+8%, Accuracy+72, Attack+46 and Zanshin+60%. When Tachi: Kaiten aftermath is up the TP per hit is boosted to 21.6 (+7). The only upgrades even possible are phos belt +1 to cap 25.9% Haste and Tenryu tekko +1 with Double Attack+2% augment.

Kaiten

STR+56, Attack+153 and Accuracy+60. Tachi-Kaiten: 60% STR Modifier with an added 40% damage bonus from the 99 version's hidden effect. The weapon skill hit will return a value of 16.0 TP but activate the aftermath mentioned in the TP set. Only possible upgrades are Tenryu hakama +1 with augment of weapon skill damage+3% and Vulcan's pearl.

tank/pdt/ohshit

Damage Taken-18%, Physical Damage Taken-29% (Assuming -5% per Dark Ring and -1% per Darkness Earring), Occasionally annuls physical damage and Occasionally absorbs earth damage. Defense+264 and VIT+46 if you care about that as well. Combined total of -47% PDT. Only plausible upgrades are a defending ring and slightly improved augments.

I used FFXI calc and all the information available on BG wiki as well as researched the previous pages of this thread in attempt to compile this data. If you could please fact check all data and see if I covered all possible upgrades. Let me know if there is something I missed or feel free to ask why I chose a certain piece if necessary. The five items I excluded (Tenryu tekko +1, Tenryu hakama +1, phos belt +1, flame pearl and defending ring) I personally find extremely rare on Siren and are unrealistic at this time.

Moonshade never belongs in a Kaiten set. Use Centaurus, no?

Considering the 2nd augment would be attack+4 on moonshade how much of a difference would there be vs the straight Attack+10 (6 difference)? Not a sarcastic troll response just curious for opinions since I don't know what TP Bonus+25 would equate to in terms of damage. We are technically down to brass tax since you might notice the Dilaram's Sollerets instead of AF+2 feet because of a Attack+1 difference lol.

Darkness/Black Earrings augmented via Aby-Vunk quest for up to PDT-2% per ear slot in your DT%- set.

You are fantastically amazing, thank you for that will update in a minute. I actually didn't know about the earrings.

~Tachi: Kaiten
-Vulcan's pearl instead of Moonshade
-Light Gorget/Belt capped attack sceanrios

~TP
-AM up/down sets.

Yowzah pretty rare on Siren too. Probably will put flame pearl instead and add Vulcan's to upgrades part beneath. I could see the STR being better than TP Bonus+25.

The TP Bonus is doing nothing at all to Tachi: Kaiten

The reason behind the TP Bonus being a no-no on kaiten sets is due to the fact that Kaiten's damage is not TP dependant, iirc.

That being said, Vulcan's Pearl/Flame Pearl/Centaurus outperform attack/bonus moonshade for kaiten.

Is there a specific factor causing it not to count? I don't actually know the reason as to why it isn't affected but good to know I suppose. Sets have been updated with prior post info.

Anything else?

EDIT: Beaten lol thank you Keyera

The sets above don't appear to be refreshing on my end for some reason, maybe cache or something so just a repost of the fixed info for further examination. This situation would be purely based on AM btw as it's all I'm worried about at this exact moment. I will eventually build others including AM down and Masamune.

Kaiten:


Shoha:

Shoha needs some work.

Pyrosoul x2
Avant+1 legs (or tenryu+1)
TP bonus Moonshade (a must for any SAM)
Windbuffet belt
Ganesha's Mala (capped ACC) gorget uncapped

Yeah, accidentally posted Kaiten twice it seems:



EDIT: Attack +4 / TP Bonus for Moonshade?

If you are Amano SAM only, acc4 TPbonus25 might be worth it. But if you use any other DD job just get att4 TPbonus25.

My current TP set



Working on NNI head item, wondering if i should use Arbuda Grip over Pole till i get it, stuck @ ~24% haste atm

Shoha


Working on Mala too, no luck yet, anything else?
