iMoogle - An FFXI/FFXIV LS (2003 - 2014)

After another speed grind fest last night (10k/hr!), I noticed a couple of things regarding weapon wear.

There's 3 states of weapon wear:
0%-10%
- Hindered melee/magic accuracy
- Half damage
- Minimal SP gain in groups (rate of solo it seems)


11%-50%
- Hindered melee/magic accuracy
- Full damage
- Moderate SP gain in groups


51%-100%
- Full melee/magic accuracy
- Full damage
- Maximized SP gain in groups


Other observations/forum reads:
Causes for faster weapon degradation:
- AOEing cures/nukes etc (for mages)
- Taking damage from the front/parrying

Good stuff Kira. I agree with pretty much all of it except the following:

-AOEing cures/nukes etc

I actually think AOEing cures has a lot more of an effect on weapon wear than AOEing nukes. When Mierin and I pt, my cane wears down a LOT faster than hears (I focus on healing, she focuses on nuking). These are just observations though, no proof to them.

Are the number of nukes vs cures about equal? If so, I think you may be on to something ;o

I would think it is, in those XP PTs I probably do more cures than she does nukes, due to casting times.

But when we were doing island crabs, we both started at 100%. I was in the red for my cane (about 15%) before she even got yellow damage.
