Okay, and then I would be able to root ml1 and install safestrap? I thought you couldnt odin back to older basebands?
I think its because ml1 and nc1 are almost the exact same build.
You simply cannot Odin flash back to pre-4.3 firmware. 4.3 to 4.3 is fine like @ThePagel posted.

Isn't ml1 4.3 then since he said they're so close to being the same? What are my options then?

The kernel has been changed so saferoot will not work. I'm sure there are root methods for after the update but they won't be one click root. When I get home tonight I'll make a custom tar pre rooted for people who want to be on the newest build.
So I do not confuse you, you're referring to another file that is for those of us who have an unlocked bootloader. It is the VRUCML1 modem-ONLY zip, this is something that is useless to you on 4.3 but is useful to those of us with an unlocked bootloader.
Edit: this modem-ONLY zip is roughly 20 MBs in size. Completely different thing than what ThePagel has supplied with a link. Basically, forget what you read about VRUCML1 being unavailable because the specific file is of no use to you.
ThePagel posted the Odin flashable, stock image tar that is readily available. That has always been available and will continue to be so. That 1.2+ GB tar file is to return to fresh, out of the box factory settings.
Yes, they are the same. I was simply agreeing with ThePagel. VRUCML1 and VRUCNC1 are both 4.3. You can not flash anything pre-4.3, so nothing that starts with VRA** or VRB***. Those are off limits for you.

Since you are already locked into 4.3, once you ODIN back to ML1, your only options are saferoot, safestrap, and safestrap compliant ROMs which are pretty much all the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs. You can read all about them in these threads:

@ThePagel Rooted on ml1, any rom suggestions since hyperdrive is a 4.1.2 based rom? which breaks my heart
Old and slows ROM is probably the cleanest most stable 4.3 tw rom out there.
I don't see old and slows rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30640131 checked that index and I also did a search. Any pointers? Im normally pretty good with finding **** like this lol.
Here's a 4.3 specific list
