I was heading out to do CN escort quest with my 2 buddies. As we are getting on airship to Bastok we see an ex-LS member, and ask her if she wants to join and she does. Meanwhile my drk buddy DC's and isn't seen again. Well when we get to CN we are killing everything super fast, this is with 2 thfs and a RNG, I noticed the rng (person at airship) was hitting insane amounts of time. I check her and she is using Ridill and Kclub. It was insane she could slugshot like every 10 seconds... I was like :O
OMG i saw a video somewhere with a war/nin or drk/nin (not sure) using ridill/kclub, and he pwned the sh*t outa some guy in ballista, all u saw was him swinging at him, it was ridiculous. plus the tp gain would be amazing, if this hits 3 times then the kclub hits 8 times that is like 55% tp up right there, that is phucking amazing! u could use savage blade soooooo much. if i ever got the chance i would definitely try to get these two.
And get the most expensive buyable item in the game. And then win the lot on this sword, which isnt a very common drop. Yea other than that the big problem is getting to 70.

Posted:Jan 01 2006 at 1:20 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) lvl 71 thf on alexander, was in dioambja dsfhskdfj- gheslba, u know the thing im talking abt, im not even gonna try to spell it. anyway, i was owning alot of ppl cuz they couldnt hit me =D i totally maxed out my evasion equip it, was pretty amazing to own lvl 75 drks and wars as a lvl 71 thf lol, my LS now offically lives in fear of my soloing abilites. lol there was one drk who rushed me when i had like 100 HP left, so i just spammed sleep bolts at him till he died lmao, bloody bolts pissed ppl off too. anyway, i was doing great, the only thing that gave me any problem were the WARs and thier damn Rampage. but since ppl couldnt hit me, TP gain was alot slower than my Dancing edge. all was gonig well until a War shows up with a juggernaut subbing this lol, everyone told him to take me one-on-one and he was HARD. it attacks 3 times so dam often, and his acc. was amazing so everytime his axe would swing, either miss or take one shadow, then this thing comes around and takes 2-3 shadows and then axe comes back around >.< owieee.
These l337 drk post are really annoying. I come on to read about this sword and all I get is this job bashing and l337 drk's preaching. Yeah drk's are great but how often do you see a great drk or party with one? Most of them read these posts and think its justified that they are the best DD jobs in the game. They get into parties poorly equiped and are immensely slow with the tp gain. Get it through your heads, DD's are there to compliment one another, not to compete. Its nice if you want to know which can do the best dmg but if you go about it bashing other jobs then you're just feeding your own ego through a damn game. Now lets get back on topic and talk about the Radill. Nice link to the Norse mythology info ^^.

well said. Yes the ridill is a nice sword, of course having to kill Fafnir might be a problem, but not those who know what there doing.
Please ignore any and all posts below this one, as they are all completely ******* worthless and idiotic. Find another place to get info on FFXI, because these kids are all hopeless.

Yeah, why should they spend their time adding hundreds of items a week when they *could* be fixing typos on a page where the correct information is clearly displayed anyway?
68 thf, almost there, now just to get in on the big game hunts and win a lot, my understanding is War and Thf have first go's in most groups on this super weapon, primarily for the double and triple attacks on the jobs respectivly to couple with the 2-3 attacks of the sword. That could mean the hope of idk ~12 attacks a round if all fire at the same time. Now if I can just get my hands on a Kraken (j/k but i have capped club just in case ^^)....
PS Drks do nice damage on the WS as well as RNG WAR and SAM, but the whole thing is time, how long does it take you to build TP. If you can SC 2x in a xp pt/mob for 600-1000 + SC 100-1000 vs 1x for 1400dmg + SC 300-600 it all equals out about the same.
lol first off i think most people forgot that this post was for Ridill and not job comparisons. i think it would be a great sword for wars as well even more so with some merits. It has decent dmg and with hitting 2 to 3 times allows you to build your tp much quicker to slap em with rampage that more often. the only other job i can really see putting this to good use in exp pts is thf considering rngs use +rng acc drks Scythe or GS sams GK and bsts solo with axes. its a fun sword for anyone that can use it to have but for actual use only i think only wars and thfs could fully tap its potential.
as for comparing DD capabilities for all you drks braggin about your ws hitting so high just think of a war using SATA Steel Cyclone can outdo anything you got. ^^

Steel Cyclone is VIT50% STR50% and has a large modifer at 300%. Sprial of Hell is INT50% STR50% has has the same modifer at 300%. DRK with Souleater, and WAR with Zerk. Hmm, I'm sorry, I argee this guy is an idoit, those 2 wapon skills can both be 2K+ neither is better.
But why can't Plds equip it..../fume Pld we never get anything good.... /cry
What a waste of a good weapond all the jobs that can equip. It wouldn't be there first choice as far as weaponds go, and thats my option... Meaning if, I was a War, Drk, Sam, Thf, Bst or Rng I wouldn't be using a sword, because you have A+ skill using other weaponds (axes, daggers, great katanas great swords, and scythes)....lol Plds and Rdms are the only jobs that have A+ skill using swords and we can't even equip it.... ---------- Beartooth Bahamut server 75Pld/War 53War/Nin 41Thf/Nin
yeah good call on that one. rdm would own with this sword. maybe ridill + joyuce (sp), but i heard the "occasionally attacks extra times" doesn't work in off-hand. if it did though, then that would rock
It does too, that's why so many warriors look forward to eventually having a ridill/joyeuese{sp?} combo. And why redmages sometimes offhand kraken club while farming. Just to clear that up.
correct me if im wrong, but this thread is supposed to be about the ridill sword, not about which jobs are better DD than others. its like most people forgot what page they were on when they posted. now as for the sword, i would like to get this sword someday, but im only level 38 so its a long way off. im a war and both my subs are a little under level, however ive been playing for a year and a half, and spent a considerable (most of that) amout of time farming to make sure i have the best equipment i can get, and i do a pretty good job of being a tank and a DD at the same time, this may change at later levels, but only time will tell. i want this sword not for the power of the hits, but for the simple fact that it helps build TP alot faster without doing too little damage, and WS will do quite abit of damage, and the amount of hits and WS will also help hold hate leading to a better tank. wars arent ment to be either DD or Tank in my opinion, they were ment to be the even balance of the two, again this may change at higher levels, but this is my observations so far. i may get rated down for this post by all the people in love with their own character type, but thats ok with me, it just goes to prove how single minded some people can become.
Here is the simple fact about every DD in a party if there wasnt another job there to back them up make a distraction things of that sort they wouldnt have a chance to do damage they'd just die, so to say that one job is better than another is just stupid. Like lets take a blm yeah they can spam there spells and sleep the mob but that takes forever and the other party members wouldnt be able to attack because if they did the mob would just wake up run over to the blm and kill him/her hella fast. So stop saying one job is better than another in DD because its just stupid if you dont have someone there to make this possible you are as good as dead.
These posts are so funny mostly everyones opinion is biased by the job they are.
And from what i have seen Monks Darks and Rangers all seem to deal about the same dmg per fight just in different ways. (Monk and Dark may be just a tiny bit ahead of rng in dmg/fight). But this is not to say that the other DD jobs suck... i have just not seen them in exp parties very often at higher lvls.
All jobs are "DOT", even BLM. -_- It's damage, and in a certain period of time. Actually, if we want to get technical, none of them are. Only spells like Bio II and Poison are DOT. I have 95% of the gear the guy a few posts below posted about and I do indeed put any RNG to shame in a Lv.75 EXP party, but that's because they are forced to sub NIN, while I have the option of subbing WAR. A RNG/WAR would do just as good as me, or perhaps cream me in damage. Either way, somehow I don't think everyone would agree that popping 700 damage in one round of fists (which is all instant damage, even if it looks like the fists take 4-5 seconds to go off) is "DOT". Usually around 250 damage per attack round without a Triple Attack from my Indra Katars. If I used Destroyers for the critical hits, I'd be a machine. =P
I heavily agree SAM DRK WAR RNG BLM THF all do great dmg. But over time the run outa steam. Guys, ur missing the real job that does most damage given time. MNK is the DoT of the game. Sure all the other jobs have MP or ability's to max out damage every other fight. But a well equiped MNK can put any one of these to shame at 75. Given Black Belt, Destroyers, Kirins Osode, Optical Hat, Shura Haidate or Byakkos Haidate, Spectacles, Foragers Mantle, Dune Boots, Atk earings, Kotes or Melee Gloves, and STR rings, a MNK can out WS and out DoT any job in the game.
OMG...what the hell are u all talking about? DRK, MNK, better DoT than RNG??? UM...NO!!! RNG is best DoT in the game, if we talking about conventional jobs...I have heard that NIN/BLM and NIN/RNG can do some massive DoT. But for as far as "normal damage dealing jobs" RNG is best DoT. MNK would probably be a close second, if they are insanely pimped out.
I'd just like to say that you are wrong... How often do you see a RNG do 1.4k DMG to a TW monster in 18secounds? Not very often....But BLM can do that...SO BLM is a better DoT...Enough said.
Sorry, forgot to add it matters on what type of mobs u talking about. MNK best dmg on bones, hands down. A good drk MAY!!! be able to keep up with rng on mobs with high def, like crabs. But rng will do higher DoT on most mobs.
have u considered the delay on a mnks weapon, to the delay of a rng's. Rng's may look like they lay out a big number, but look at its delay compare to a mnks. a mnks gunna spam hella fists inbetween for what a rng will in one gun shot, not to mention kick attacks and double attack. Parse the two next to eachother, u'll see.
if you compare the delay of mnks and rngs its not that much greater if a rng uses a Ebow and Demon Arrows. With knuckles and base HTH delay a mnk's delay is about 450+ where a rng's delay is 580, and in xp pts i (a rng) deal the about 5-10 dmg on average more than a mnk's two hits and about 20-30 more when i berserk and 100 more on weapsonkills without berserk and 200-300 more with. So mnks delays arent much greater that a well equiped rng and a rng's dmg is much greater per hit and on weaponskills.
Using equipment that would take a year to amass as an argument that a job is thereby the best DD, isn't the best argument. This is because you are far from likely to find any MNK with that equip, and it leaves room to say "all MNK who don't have this equip are bad." Franky ANY melee job with that calibur of equipment will incredible.
