Hagun > Ushi

Sorry guys. Hagun is still better than Ushi all around. Only one situation Ushi is better than Hagun is at 300%.
"best" GK
# Jul 26 2008 at 5:43 PM Rating: Good
The current(26/07/2008) "best GK" list for SAM is
Amanomurakumo > Hagun = Futsuno Mitama(5-hit) = Soboro Sukehiro(situational) > Onimaru(latent:83dmg,+5acc,+18atk under 100%tp and during WS) > Ushikirimaru > Shinsoku

notes:
1)Even on WS, 18atk>2STR unless you're capping pDIF which is unlikely
2)If you're not WSing at or near 100% you're doing it wrong
3)While tping 3STR = ~1 base dmg = ~6-8atk (depends on how much atk you have)
4)On Y/G/K 1STR = ~1base dmg = ~6-8atk (depends on how much atk you have)
5) converting all additional factors to equivilant base dmg, while tping onimaru=85.5dmg+2.5%acc, ushikirimaru=82.6dmg, during WS onimaru=85.5dmg(acc generally capped), ushikirimaru=84dmg

You can't eyeball this stuff
(w/ things that vary allot it generally takes a 10x change for humans to think an effect has doubled).
Learn to parse/test and/or do the math.

i got mine acouple of days ago and hagun cant hold a candle to it. it is my new sky weapon. because at 100 tp i have never hit less than 1000 on gods. i havent even tryed it in exp yet. so imo save your cash and try and get this for sky
(bfore you say anything yes i have used the hagun extensivly. but dont get me wrong hagun is good.... but this is beter^^

Well, all in all i have to say this is the best GK i've used, thats counting Shinsoku and Hagun. sure, at 100 TP hagun can do more than this (slightly), but try a 200-300tp ws. I can frequently hit for 1500 ws's on exp mobs and 1k+'s on HNMs, more than I was doing with Hagun. It's a great GK, i think the second best, next to the relic.
luck

i got so lucky with this drop it was my first sky even and i didnt even know who zip was....killed it and saw a cool GK drop so i lotted then my ls leader lotted over me -.-. he let me have it since he uses his 75rng instead of his 75sam in sky so now im working towards 73 sam to wear it currently at 69. that makes me 1/1 :D

Just got mine, I'm now 1/5 or 1/6 on Zip. Just on the next trigger (Faust) our DRG got the Tonbo-giri. Must've been our lucky day. No special moonphase/lightningsday if someone cares.

Today, I did my 1st Sky event. I was on my way to sky, and I heard that my LS got Ushi to drop, and luckily I was the only samurai in our LS that's going ^^ Everyone noticed that, so they told me to rush. I did, I tried to rush as fast as I could ; ; but I was at the entrance of Ro'maeve, got to the teleporter that bringz you to Ru'Aun right when it droped out of the treasure pool >< tough luck for me. But I was kinda glad I got the Tonbo-giri drop later on. I'm hoping I can get the drop next time, but I heard the drop rate was **** >< and hopefully when it does, I'll be the only samurai agian ; ; goo d luck to me... ><!
RE: Sucks for me...
# Feb 13 2006 at 9:27 AM Rating: Decent
Seems to be a **** drop rate for me at least 0/10 on this now so either I have the worst luck around or the drop rate has been changed.
well..
# Oct 20 2005 at 5:35 PM Rating: Decent
I don't quite understand why people think this is better than the onimaru.

Since you're a samurai, you'll usually be WS once you get 100 TP. The onimaru has better damage under 100 TP, plus 18 attack.
well..

It's better than an Onimaru for a couple of reasons. For starters, if you're using your weaponskills at 100%tp, then a Hagun would be a much better choice because you'll probably get the most damage from 100%tp out of that gk. The only real time you should use an Onimaru (unless you can't afford a Hagun, which I don't blame you if you can't), is during a ksnm/god fight etc. where you build 300%tp prior to the battle. The Onimaru only offers +1 more damage over the Ushi, and even then the Ushi has a nice little +2STR bonus, and everyone knows +STR = hawt sawce. And if you're lucky, you get a +7 accuracy bonus on top of that! So all that being said. So when given the choice of +1 dmg or +2str and potential accuracy bonus (and it just looks ******* cool lol), I'd say the choice is clear!

Ushikirimaru > Onimaru
RE: well..
# Mar 07 2006 at 11:50 PM Rating: Decent
why not, i use it (check me on Ifrit server for proof for non-belivers) i love the dmg on this GK then on the Onimaru, Period

this is the third best GK in the game
second best is the lvl 50 2-3 GK More TP litterly and you do about the same dmg as a 70ish GK no joke,
the first best in Relic GK no doubt

#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 29 2005 at 8:56 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) In back in teh day Samurai used to have WEapon close to this. Named the Zanbato, mainly used to chop down Horse riders, teh joke was Tehy only swung it once..... o.o. Ushikirimaru. Samurais ate Cows while on teh battle fields which were close to farms and stuch. So tehy produced Ushikirimaru a lighter version to the Zanbato. the Ushikiri (had no Maru) tehy used to chop teh cows down and cooked them. was quite a interesting time. just some facts i looked out the other day

Next best thing to upgraded Relic...
# Aug 08 2005 at 10:07 PM Rating: Decent
Got this the other day in sky. Had full alliance of 75's so the fight didnt even last 10 mins. Gotta say, this this probably the next best GK to Relic, as in the title. Maybe the new 1 in the update is better, but I still have no info where it drops from, but I'm thinking a Sea HNM.

Even though u definately notice a difference in WS damage with Hagun and its TP bonus trait, your overall party damage with Ushi is greater. With this GK equipped, Haub(+5 str), 2 ruby rings(+4 str each), Hamichan kote+1 (+5 str), Wyvern Helm(+5 str), Warewolf Belt(+5 str), AF1 Pants (+3 str), Bushinomimi earring (+2 str) and eaten a sole sushi(+5 str, and like a hundred acc)...I have 76+40 Str. I'll let u imagine what kinda damage those WS's look like...

This sword......
# Aug 05 2005 at 10:31 PM Rating: Default
Damn I was allmost iffy about swapping out my Hagun for this, 200 tp hitting like 300 is really nice..... But the rapid tp gain in pts puts me at 250-300 for every WS anyways, so it's definatly better for chaining in Exp pts with it's higher stats.

The hagun still kicks *** for HNM and 1shot farming, but for normal and exp battles I'd definatly keep this equipped.
YAY

Today was the first time I adventured into sky. My friends LS let me watch them fight various gods. On the way to Genbu we heard the Ushiki NM was up so we went in killed it and got drop. The LS was so nice even though i wasnt a member they gave it to me! first try at him =P

I know many Sams on my server that are 0/20 on getting this to drop. My HNMLS got me sky and the next day, my first fight ever in sky was Zipacna and he dropped this. Being the only Samurai at the time, I got it :) I loooove it.

To answer those who are curious about how enmity helps Samurai.... Sams make awesome SATA SC partners. With enmity, it makes it easier to make the mob turn so the Thf or Drk/Thf can SATA and close the SC. At my lvl, I love finding a Drk/Thf to do Tachi: Kasha -> Spinning Slash with and sometimes when I provoke before the SC, it doesn't turn, more enmity will help with that.

# Dec 15 2004 at 8:41 AM Rating: Decent
Well, if u cant find a tank but u can find a SAM (not that this would be a problem at this lvl, but read on) the +enmity would help, seeing as StoreTP applies to both when u hit and when u get hit meaning even more badass weapon skills to rend your opponents asunder. Especially good if you happen to be fighting demons ^_-

the name probably suggests that the sword can cut a cow in half @.@

Also, samurais can make semi-decent tanks.

# Jun 20 2004 at 11:13 PM Rating: Default
I have search through many weapons for many jobs.
the ragnarok ,bravura ,scarecrow sythe and all of these have at least 89 attack. but the samurai only has 82. seems the samurai's stronger weapon is still to be found. any hints or know abouts the strongest katana please reply and future thanks.

Latent: STR +8

MysteryTour has it listed.

As much as i'd like to see a stronger GKT considering i'm SAM. your info is wrong also on ragnarok. It's attack is only 86.

Couple things:

Scarecrow scythe isn't drk's ultimate scythe, Apocalypse is. Stats on Apocalypse are:

Damage: 103
Delay: 513
Accuracy +20
Additional Effect: Blind
Enables the Weapon Skill: Catastrophe

This is the final form of the relic scythe, and can only be obtained thru many trips to dynamis.

There is an ultimate Great Katana for samurai. Info on it can be found here:
[link=null]http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/equip/47relic.htm[/link]

Note that this is also where I got the info on Apocalypse.
