The Corsair Guide Is Real (2026 guide by Enquiry)

Thank you so much!!

 

With the dismounting, is it required every hit? Or just before the ship is about to break. So eg, if it has 200k hp, you just dismount after 50%

 

you dismount before you take a hit so the ship doesn't take damage
in Zakum i dismount for 1/1 but i tank the thunder+seal attack because it doesn't deal much damage, 1/1 on sair is very dangerous as you can take high damage if you don't dismount

 

It depends on your level, how long the fight is, and whether bosses have 1/1s, so I can't give an accurate answer. It's really a "feel" that you'll have to gauge from doing the fights.

The general rule is you need to dismount all attacks from early 4th job (Lv. 120-140), since your ship has so little HP. It literally crumbles if you don't.

Once you go past those levels, you'll have so much ship HP that you can facetank everything on ship without it breaking for ages. At that point you can time when your ship breaks by dismounting only at low ship health.
So long as your downtime doesn't eat into your buff pots (eg. appos) you're good; you want to spend as little time using Rapid Fire as possible.

If I use Krex as an example:
A Lv. 135 ship can't survive more than a few minutes unless you dismount attacks.
At Lv. 165 you can stay on ship for the whole fight and it might only break right before the boss dies (so literally like 25 mins).
I usually get my ship to flashing health (almost breaking) and just dismount everything till my appo runs out.

You ALWAYS need to dismount 1/1s since they'll typically be the most damaging boss attacks for your ship.

 

definitely one of the guides of all time

 

Updated today:

• Added remaining rings (I didn't add them before as I never owned them).
• Added Golden Pig Belt lol
• Adjusted Toad Headband/Toad boss section wording.
• Adjusted SE/SI section with accurate damage numbers (ty cagedmercury's guide).

Will edit HP washing section for washing mindsets/routes + Rose Garden + Golems section soon. Been very busy irl and I don't want to eat too much time editing.

 

Does having pirate emblem flag considered as endgame?

 

y-yes..................
it's never appearing anytime soon i'm going to cry in a corner

 

Updated over the last week. Most of these were thanks to @cagedmercury 's info on his own Corsair guide, tysm!

• Linked cagedmercury's Corsair guide in the Intro so people can crosscheck guides
• Fixed SI calculation as I got some of it wrong from old forum posts.
  
• Rewrote the entire HP washing section. I realized that it came off as "DON'T WASH YOU STINKY PIRATE YOU DON'T NEED IT" and it wasn't the intention. Clarified that you should decide on washing routes/amounts based on your own goals as a player.
• Added recommendations to scroll equips with STR thanks to Maple Warrior's mechanics (I didn't know this). There's now a short breakdown for STR eqs and DEX eqs.
• ADDED MY 8WA MON DROP as the MoN example pic!!

Future updates (been prioritizing real life):

• Rewrite of BW section to turn it into LHC section
• Rose Garden
• Golems
• Neo Tokyo (unsure; have done till Dunas V1)
• Pirate flag (not happening for 9 years)

 

My macro makes me still fall in ground before next Recoil Shot, what I am doing wrong?

 

Make sure you don't change directions until your macro fully plays out, or it will cancel. If you are already holding down a direction and let go before the macro plays out, it will also cancel.

EDIT: If you mean "I'm landing before every Recoil Shot", it's because I have some equips that give jump, so my base jump isn't 100%. I think it's my Pirate Hat?

 

u can test adding Dash in the middle of Recoil and Wings
