Divine Might Earrings Question

[Luffy]

I did DM long time ago, I had no intent on levelling ANY melee jobs. I picked Abyssal for my blm75... guess what? I'm now ninja~ orz.

can I drop abyssal, do DM again and get suppa? or is there anyone who's tried this? plz tell me before i do something stupid. thanks~!

I'm pretty sure it's a one-time thing. There's not a lot of repeatable quests with good rewards, and I don't see SE letting you get a second earing.

HA! sorry, but I always see this coming - .- I donno if anyone warn'd you or not, but it is a one time thing. Let this be a warning for people who havent done divine might yet =P

I was told I could get a second earring: "not to worry cuz if you fuck up with your first choice, you can get a second one np."

my first ever DM run told me that. >:/ darn lol

I'm pretty sure it's not repeatable anyway. Yvo'nelle or whoever doesn't rescript when you check the spot again, and I'm not sure if someone who has beaten can trade a pentasphere to enter the BC or not, but I'm leaning towards not.

It's only repeatable in the sense that you get the BC effect, like the Rank 3 dragon, or Shadowlord, or any other mission-related BC.

Some poor guy tested it a long time back, and confirmed that no, you can't drop your earring and get another. Just like there's no way to get a different CoP ring.

 

[Luffy]

Okie dokie. Thanks for the info

 

[neophytal]

nope 1 per character...

 

[Flameass]

The lesson, don't drop your Rajas/Tamas/Sattva rings, and make sure on your DM earring choice...?

What to get...

It should be obvious from my sig, but I am a WHM60 and an up-and-coming DRG34 - both of which I plan to take to L75. However, upon looking through the DM earrings, I find that none of them seem to fit me well. Are there any suggestions on what to get (Please don't start saying Suppanomimi, I'm tired of seeing that one on so many people >.<)? Legit, logical, and halfway-intelligent replies are preferred. ^-^;

Actually, Suppanomimi is one of the best choices because it's unique. Most of the other earrings can be replaced with something else, whereas nothing else does the dual wield enhancement.

Hmm...

According to TeamAvengers (don't know how good their "hidden" data results are), but Suppanomimi gives a 5% delay decrease in addition to Dual Wield's normal decrease, which would give a total of a 20% decrease at xxx75/NIN37 with Dual Wield II @ NIN25. With all things considered, I'm mostly trying to figure out if this would help me when I reach that level as WHM and DRG.. that's my major situation - trying to determine what'd be decent for both. I know that the Suppanomimi would be good for dual-wielding mauls, but the only time I could see me using that is when skill-up'ing or for if/when I obtain the two rare/ex mauls from Silverhook and Blackbeard... that or using Mjollnir along with something else (taking note of sig again).. I'm one to plan for the future, y'know.. ^^;

If nothing else, planning for the future is to get the supp., because you might play a dual-weilding job at some point. All of the other stats on the earrings (except I think shield skill) is able to be obtained by another earring.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

There are now several better WHM earrings than any of the DM ones (Astral, Magnetic, Loquatious), so choosing one on the basis of how good it is for your WHM isn't the best idea...

True, true.. However, I reiterate that I'm trying to figure out what'd be best to get for both DRG and WHM, since those are the two jobs I plan to take to 75 before anything else.. to me, those are my two main jobs, even if I take others to 75. Yes, they are completely opposite of each other, but meh.. ^-^ Basically.. I would like suggestions on what to get in regards to what'd be nice to use for both those jobs (Loquatious is nice for both, regardless.. since I can use it with DRG/WHM and WHM/xxx.. plus it's a Anct. Beastcoins item, so I can also pick other stuff, too). However.. the new earrings (Mangetic, Ethereal, etc) and the DM earrings are the ones I'm having trouble picking out. I've already decided on my CoP ring (Rajas) because I am the sort of WHM that likes to solo or melee once in a while, so it'd be a logical choice, personally speaking.. since I could use it for both WHM and DRG in almost any situation ('specially once I get Hexa-Strike and, eventually, Mjollnir).

 

[Eleibfrid]

There are no real DM earrings that are suitable for WHM, usually the buyable MP+ Earrings for would be fit best. For DRG however, the Bushinomimi DM earring would be best for the STR+2, which would allow for stronger STR+ based endgame weaponskills (I.E. Wheeling Thrust, Impulse Drive)

If being able to solo stuff is a consideration, then at some point you'll probably find yourself levelling NIN as a sub. And the Supp is the one earring out the DM list that is still unique...

...but then again, while they aren't cheap, Triumph Earrings give the same STR+2. DRG has tons of other Parrying+ options and can't wield a Great Katana so Bushi is somewhat wasted IMO.

I feel that the best choices are Suppanomimi and Abyssal, with honourable mention to Knightly if you're a Paladin main.

Abyssal will be.. okay.. for your WHM but very excellent if you ever decide to play BLM seriously (that +dark is very nice).

Suppanomimi wins overall IMO because the most jobs can benefit from it directly - Ninja (obviously), WAR/NIN, RDM/NIN (solo), THF/NIN, and even a soloing WHM/NIN or PLD/NIN.

 

[Skaw]

Don't forget, SE wants to have jobs sub things other than Ninja, so really, at this point, beat the BC, and don't choose an earring until you see what they're planning on. Might be a great move to do that.

 

[Elixer]

Hmm? Mind you, right now, I'm a bit lazy to look up the quest, but from the way its sounding.. you don't have to choose the earring immediately, then? That would give me a near-infinite amount of time to decide, then.. ^^; None-the-less.. it's great to hear so many suggestions and recommendations.
