Good bye, Chant du Cygne

After a bit of delve point farm, Halachunic sword obtained.

I decided to get sword first, instead of gun, because SE just announced to buff empy dmg. So I don't want to waste precious points on gun only to ditch it after R/E/M buff. I just want to get a sword/dagger, take a break and come back after Gun dmg buff XD

Another reason is because both of my jobs can use sword, and I want to play with sword pirate for a bit after Sylow mentioned it on forum.

According to spreadsheet, req with delve sword has higher WS dmg than exen with delve dagger using my current obtainable gears. I'm pretty shocked that exen is THAT bad. I guess time to work on req WS set for real, now that I get a better sword than fat sword Almace.

I've been wanting to play as sword pirate since I started the job 3.5 years ago. I asked LS member to make me swords, and lv up all the way to 75 with swords(despite swords were bad choice for this job). When I got my joytoy I was happy, but mainly because I finally got a legit reason to be a sword pirate.

Getting new sword also means I have to say good bye to fat sword Almace when I play BLU. Then I realized how much I love my fat sword, despite it's only lv 85. I've been using it for 1 year, and it kinda became signature of BLU. That's why when I made a sig for character Afania http://www.ffxiah.com/screenshots/68770 my fat sword was in it!

Good bye, fat sword Almace :(

Good bye, CDC :(

I thought I wouldn't be butthurt if Almace got replaced since it doesn't require as much effort as lv 99 R/E/M, but the fact is, I was still sad. This sword kinda changed my life on BLU, like how Zebra gun changed my life on COR.

Anyways, currently I'm aiming to get to some gears for req:

WS gorget
MND rings

For body/head I can just use Thaumas until I get wildskeeper mask. Also going to offhand Sanus on COR until I get delve dagger for offhand.

According to spreadsheet, req has higher WS dmg than exen, although I'm guessing it's only like that when I have enough attk buff or when enemy isn't weak against piercing.

So I'd need delve sword+dagger, use different main hand depend on situations.
