@Torkulguy Kind of late on this reply, but it's because I was wearing the opo-opo necklace. It gives you TP while you're asleep. The idea is to force yourself to sleep using potions and build up enough TP to open the fight with a weapon skill.
FFXI wise-tale lol. Some think the boss will only copy your base stats if you enter naked. Usually used for Maat, I don't know about Qultada/Shamarhaan/Balrahn, etc.
rofl why squid sushi +1? is not even 10mins, waste of money, i use as my cor that but lolz for a fight. My Gear atm is, Noct Body,legs and hands+1, Peacock Charm, Archer Ringx2, Sniper Ring+1x2, Emperor Hairpin, Leapings boots, the lv 30 waist that gives +1 of everything, and a mantle lv 24 forgot name. as lv 41cor.
Because Sushi +1 doesn't just have longer duration, the caps on the accuracy are higher. I never use normal sushi. I always buy +1 at twice the cost for not just twice the length, but a more powerful effect too.
If you look at food, all across the board, high quality has higher caps or increased stats. Even Squid +1 is 1% higher accuracy.
It's ridiculous to assume that high quality SUSHI's only benefit is longer duration. Is it the one high quality food that Square Enix deemed unacceptable of being more awesome?
The fact of the matter is that determining actual accuracy values is difficult to do. So, we must err on the side of logic.
The reason people use Sleeping Potions on fights like this is because of a neck piece that lets one gain TP while asleep. Thus, people use sleeping potions until they reach 100% TP so they can start the fight off with a weapon skill. So, in this case, I used potions to get 100+ TP, used Slug Shot, then used an Icarus Wing to give me another 100% TP for another Slug Shot.
Thank you. ^^ I'm on Fairy, home of drama. lol. I think this was my 4th or 5th try on G5. I made a few blunders the previous times, like forgetting to equip vital gear, hitting the wrong macros, etc. Knowing the pain that is farming testimonies really makes the fight a bit more nerve-wracking, eh?
haha ^^ thanks for the quick reply by the way ^^ but yeah i started up a few months ago im on the unicorn server, home of noobs lol. so i leveled war to 30 got smn to 20 and now currently lvling rdm and getting fame to get the spikes quests done so im lvl 10 rdm / whm at the moment.
Why did you use 5 sleeping potions on yourself?

@vxBCxv - As the others said, it's superstition. I just didn't want to take any chances.

If you take a Light Shot you'll be slept and that will suck. The Poison Potion will keep you poisoned and such. You'll take damage and wake up.

Thanks, about to do my fight for the 3rd time tonight

Buddy is absolutely right. I took the Poison Potion to avoid Sleep, and the Selbina Milk was to try to counteract Dispel.

whats with the sleeping potions? does that stop your current status from running out while your rescast timer still keeps going?
