Swift Belt  

Can fomor hate be built by killing all Fomors?
Was killing the ones outside of Whitegate earlier, wondered if i went back it would increase my hate by killing some more?

so i'm 0/13 atm.... cool amirite? /wrists ><

2 more codexes to use, heres to hoping for 1/15! >.>

1/9 yay

I just complete 4-2 so i went to check out Sacrarium and there was a party doing Swift Belt runs. They were lacking a thf so I joined them so they Had Treasure Hunter.

Apparently the Mithra NM is the easiest so we fought that one 4 times. Went 3/4 on the drop, with me getting the Killshot(I'm superstitous, along with many others).

We fought the Taru NM once, but No drop. Anyways Drop doesnt seem to be as horrid as I've always heard.

Can anyone tell me how many Formors you have to kill to have enough hate to spawn Balor?

0/9 Thanks SE!!!!! ive only seen one drop in 23 fights. As of this date im done messin with it, waste of time i could be using earning $$$

Just doing a Ls run "hey AnzacPride" atm 0/4 and 2 more pops to go how painful to not even see one of my fellow crew get a drop so I can be excited for them this belt is evil it rips ur heart out lol well until next time and next time and next time Please don't let me have to go 1/7 like Vnm and so many others.
Just a note you know when u have enough hate to pop it when you get the sentance " Your common sense tells you to run as quickly as possible" All best to other guys out there hope u have more luck then us.

I'am 0/9 on this, ive tried new moon full moon etc....
Is there somthing more i need to do before i can get this thing to drop?
please any info will be greatly appreciated.

Im now 0/12 on this nm was 0/9 last night and had 3 people pop it for me no drops~

FYI: My group went 3/3 during a full moon. We did the hume NM with the following: NIN,RDM,PLD,THF,BLU. It was a very easy fight, it was actually more of a PIA to clear the fomors in the way.

trying to incorporate this into TP build for 72+ as my THF.

CoP was nice to us o.O Rap harness, this, and bravos. throw in some dusk gloves and we're in business....

Just for a note to everyone who don't know. Stegotaur's make you loose fomor hate. I don't know by how much per kill. But me and a party just killed 45 fomors for max hate to pop the NM for this quest. Then we kill alot of Stegotaur's, i don't know how many, but horrible drop rate. By the time everyone has a Fomor Codex and we get to the area to spawn the NM's. We get a message saying we have 0 fomor hate. So we take off sneak to see if its an error, and we don't get no agro. Just thought everyone would like to know incase they try to get the fomor codex's after getting the fomor hate. Belt is very nice though, definately worth a 2nd 7hour run to get it lol, althought the NM's have very low drop rates, so i'd very highly reccomend a thief to be with your party/alliance for this. Goodluck to everyone doing this!

We fought Balor. It requires a Hume with level 4 Forumer hate. The NM really isn't that hard. It uses Eagle Eye Shot which can one shot a ninja if you get caught without shadows along with the usual AOE tp reset, Stunga and 200-400AOE dmg which is blinkable. The hardest part was farming the Codex. The NM isn't much harder then one of the Forumers in the room. Make sure to clear the room to avoid agro and secondly build up some needed hate to pop. We were 5/7 with a thief dealing the final each time. Good Luck!

Oh btw each time you pop it resets the person who popped it's Forumer hate. We just got luck to have enough Humes. FYI we went in with NIN/NIN/THF/MNK/DRG/BLM/BLM/BLM/RDM. The DRG subbed whm and one BLM played a gimped whm due to lack of healing. 2 of the pops one NIN was afk so it is tankable solo, just much safer with 2. Fight lasted less then a minute each time.

i would like to add drops arent as bad as ppl make out we did 7 last night drops went like this

0/1/0/1/0/1/0/0

3/7 isnt too bad we heard horror storys but i got mine off my codex so maybe im biased

but reason im here is to tell u bring a sh*tload of humes cuz that one is easiest by far and u lose hate when u pop so 1 hume cant pop all of em

Drop rate on this thing sucks bad... we just did a raid and are 0/5 on belt drops.

Not much info on Alla about getting this, so I'll share what I've put together from a few different sources.. :)

To get the swift belt, you need to spawn a NM in Sacrarium using a Fomor Codex. There are 5 of these NM's; one of each race. You can only spawn the one corresponding to your own race. If you're hume, you can only spawn the hume one, etc.. Keep in mind that Sacrarium is a level 50 cap area.

Fomor Codex is a drop from the Taurus mobs in Sacrarium. You can either fight the higher level ones in a party, or the DC ones near the entrance with 1-2 people, depending on jobs. I've seen most people selling them in bazaars for about 500K.

It would be useful to have the map of Sacrarium.. I got mine last night after a few attempts at picking the chest. Here's a link to the map quest info:
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=&fquest=625

Ok, you got your codex, you got your map (if you wanted it..), and you're ready to get your belt.. The NM's will take at least a full party to take out, but I'd suggest bringing a little more. 10-12 people, including at least 2 tanks, would make it a pretty easy job, I'd think. Here's a little more info on the NM's:

First off, the spawn points, where you trade the fomor codex to are the "Stale Drafts" in the fomor-filled class-rooms. To make things easier, clear the room before you spawn the NM, pulling one at a time and fighting just outside the room. You need a certain level of fomor hate to spawn the NM's. Click the Stale Draft, and if you get the message, "Your common sense tells you to leave as quickly as possible," then you have enough hate and can spawn the NM. Now the NM's themselves.. If you're doing more than one, you might want to do them in this order to save time running around: Mithra > Galka > Taru > Elvaan > Hume.

Mithra: Caithleann (RDM/NIN, spawned at F-11)
Uses Chainspell, along with RDM spells and ninjutsu.

Galka: Indich (BRD/PLD, spawned at G-11)
Uses Soulvoice, BRD songs, and PLD spells.

Taru: Lobais (SMN/BLM, spawned at H-5)
Will summon an avatar and use Astral Flow (ouch!), and uses other SMN and BLM spells.

Elvaan: Luaith (THF/WAR, spawned at G-5)
Uses Perfect Dodge and attacks very fast with double+triple attack.

Hume: Balor (RNG/MNK, spawned at F-5)
Uses Eagle Eye Shot and MNK WS's.

Good luck getting your swift belt. I'm trying to get a raid together soon, so wish me luck too. ^^; Almost forgot to mention.. The belt drop isn't 100% (Gah ; ;). Anyway, I hope I helped. Please rate up if I did. ^^

There is no F*@king way i'll pay the price asked for the Speed belt... no one will really, it has more-or-less become a "LS owned" item on Ramuh. If it drops they give it to LS members to help uberize them as a team.

This belt is FYI, best for NIN or WAR/NIN tanking. Macro in all the Haste gear you can get & presto... you still equip the best belts for fighting (Life Belt, Warwolf Belt...) and get lower utsi cast timers.

simple equation (use of Dual Wield and/or Double Attack enhance gear very helpfull):
Dusk Gloves + Byakko Haidate + Swift Belt + Fuma + Panther Mask + March(x2) + Haste + Slow on Mob = Hundred Katans for a long time and/or uber recast timer for usti: ni

Belts with Haste are very nice for Alliance fights due to the lagless equip change for macros.

seems to me this would be very nice for thf who already has alot of accuracy. nice tp building item.

This Belt is really nice for Ninjas.

Fuma Kyhan or Sune-Ate 3% Haste
Swift Belt 4% Haste

Just this 2 pieces reduce your Utsusemi: Ni recast by 3 seconds.

Add a Byakkos Haidate (5% Haste) @ 75 to that setup and you get a Ni recast of 40secs and 26secs for Ichi.

With this 3 Haste pieces you reduce your delay by 40 or more also. Dunno if Haste adds to DW or is counted in after.

Not worth the time, effort, or money. Too many alternatives to choose from.

Speed/Sonic belt=too expensive. With this and my wyvern earring, haste+9% on my Gax...I could see uses.
