Spit Fire Occ deal 2x damageFollow

Has anyone seen any info on this gun yet; Such as proc rate? Seems to me 51dmg makes it almost as good as the Mayhem MAB gun for QD and a killer gun to /ra with. (Barring Arrmageddon- I'm on the final 50 gem trial)

Also I can't find any information on trial 1765: Kill 30 Quetzalli. Any info would be appreciated.

I think I might go this route with my blue steel rather than the OAT gun. Less TP but more damage per shot and higher WS. Don't know what those last mobs are though.

^this. Pretty much what I'm going to do as it is attainable without much help besides the stupid sheep ~_~.

Based on the scaling from 75-80 this might see up to MAB+12-24 which would be very nice indeed. Though with the lack of new weapons be it synthed or dropped I'm wondering if this is SE's answer to weapons for 80-99, I hope not because this is a pain for most people playing.

I think at this point we don't know what the hell SE is going to update or not. The OAT guns or double damage guns could just as easily be upgraded as the Armageddon.

That's the whole problem with this era of FFXI. I have no idea what they are going to do with equips. Everything that looked good 3 months ago ha changed and maybe that everything that looks good now will be different next update. It's a bit crazy. I'll keep working on various guns but I'm not making a big commitment to anything until the 99 cap hits and I know what is the new endgame gear.

All the paths recieved an extension to level 80 this update - even the non-NM kill multiple members of mob family during day/weather were extended. That I think sets the precedent that they're going to be able to go further and further down more specialized paths as the level cap raises - SE have always wanted to push that specialism angle within the game and this seems to be the way to do that. Eventually you're going to have paths ending up with loadsa ranged acc, loadsa ranged attack, or a small cannon that can punch a hole in the planet depending on how you want to take things and how hardcore you're wanting to go.

I'm going down the Mayhem ranged acc path at the moment (missed slugs and stuff drive me up the wall) purely as a future proof I'll have some decentish upgradable gun when the paths extend further. If I've got time again, I'll go back and do the similar rnaged attack path later as well - not necessarily as ZOMG awesome NOW, but as future proofing for a further cap raise (I don't have a group to do the VNM/Abyssea content).

It's obvious that SE intends the Magian Moogle arc to be the way to extend gear up to 99 cap and minimize the collossal price gouge fest that would have ensued if everything was only AH buyable with the entire server wanting the gear all in one go - I can't see them ditching that when the cap's raised further, and it looks like the whole cap raise storyline and everything is intended to be down to those swindling, merit-point stealing, Moogles (give me my three merits back you thieving gits).

Hopefully he'll be a desired kill so that a person can leach some of the kills. Is he a forced spawn or random spawn I wonder?

Edit: just had a look and he better drop more than a metallon mantle or no one is going to want to try to take down a bird that can bene itself multiple times. Any other trials that require Quetzalli?

Well that's a relief. With all the SAM's around, there's bound to be groups doing this one.

I keep waffling back and forth honestly. I think the DD Spitfire will be better for COR with higher WS damage, QD damage, but the OAT Spitfire would likely be slightly better for RNG depending on how OAT guns interact with double shot trait.

Fortunately I'm still killing hippos so I don't have to make a big decision yet.

Oh, I'm in agreement that the double damage Spitfire is better than the OAT one. The problem is nobody has any idea how to even fight Quetzalli, making it a moot point for now.

I may go for the wind gun, but I'm just fairly certain that my DDing potential would best be served by doing more shooting, as my poor M. Kris will eventually get outclassed. It's already 30 levels old, I doubt it'll hold up to more powerful stuff at 90+.
