Luck Of The Draw: A Corsair's Guide *NEW*

Please don't recklessly follow the Dream sets in the guide.

While it was really easy for us to create them out of thin air, having you guys following those sets to the tune of thousands of stones at Oseem makes me feel like we've really done you a disservice.

Keep in mind that those are dream sets for a reason -- not even the people who created those sets have one piece of Herc with 'perfect' AGI+MAB+WSD augs, DM or non-DM, much less multiple pieces. You shouldn't walk up to Oseem expecting to win the lottery, but these kinds of guides totally make you feel bad if you don't.

'Downgrade' to Carmine in the hand slot -- because it's not only easy, it's what I still use. Or Laksamana/Taeon in the leg slot if Oseem is stingy. You don't have to feel like you're compromised or horrible for doing it. In the end, we're only talking a few % of difference versus sanity.

AF1+3 only has 1 more AGI than Herculean- I think you can figure this one out on your own.

I haven't been able to do proper testing, does Dingir Ring make Zodiac Ring obsolete?

Should I call it good enough with WSD 5, 25 MAB, 9 AGI on Herc Legs?

yyes.

According to BG wiki zodiac does nothing for salute as it stats bonus to elemental magic. So literally anything is better than zodiac ring.

Huh, thought it did since it works on Quick Draw, but I did some tests and yeah, doesn't work with Leaden.

How's this for Leaden?

+2 is 15/15, 25, 7.

Pretty sure it's best in slot for Leaden and Wildfire.

Apparently Maroot did some testing and the Phantom Roll II is a typo.

It's Phantom Roll 11: HP/MP Recovery +15%.

Anyone else not getting the bonus from Regal Necklace anymore? Been getting wrong potency from rolls post-update.

From the September update thread

A real bummer those gear buffs for geo and cor is messed up

Yep, broken.

Is that only for the user or does that apply to everyone receiving the roll?

No idea; I was alone when I tested it.

Just tested it on my geo its on both solo and party members so rip.

Does this apply to both 11s or just the one?

Do you mean that everyone hit by the 11 roll heals hp/mp? That seems pretty damn good actually, so why the "rip"?

So with the dagger we can have permanent crooked cards with the 4/4 split in merits instead of 3/5 favoring duration right? I fail with math.

And then the real question, does the 20str + 20agi on arma make it be a new contender for savage blade? Like between aeonic and tp bonus

Arma wouldn't even be up for second (or third) best for Savage Blade, as it doesn't even have the highest potential STR.

It's too late to math for me, but def. a no to the Arma taking up any type of Savage Blade spot. TP Bonus is literally outrageous on Savage Blade due to the scaling of it's 'ftp'. You'd need a much longer chunk than stat+20 to overtake even Fomal let alone Magian-gun \o/

my Rostam is @ 3 Phantom Roll, confirmed (not surprised) it does not stack with Regal neck

Also behind Doomsday with acc/atk, WSD, STR augment

Do the augments for the Rostam (speaking of Path C) only work in the main hand, or do they work in offhand since they don't specifically say "Main Hand:" like some of the others?

How would the fully augmented Commodore Charm +2 compare to fotia on last stand? possibly wins at higher TP or is fotia still king?

But it does...


If you were going by the wiki page we have cleaned it up a bit and what people were putting in for edits.

Commodore Charm +2 doesn't add anything notable to Last Stand in regards to raw damage. It's just AGI+15 and STR+15. I suppose that's a lot but I imagine Fotia is still winning unless you need ranged accuracy.

For TP on Lanun Knife is which is better path A for 20 Store TP or path B for 40% chance of follow-up attack? im guessing B but just want to ask before I trade it in
