Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[TSFFXI]

Hold the adds, fight the main one like you would any other Voidwatch content. I had a BLU and a MNK hold the adds when I couldn't find a PLD. BGwiki had more than enough strategy info, wouldn't suggest fighting the adds that pop with the demon--they don't repop, but it was still easier to hold them. Beat all of them on the first try with a ragtag 17/18 shout group, used two displacers on Fjalar. I'm pretty sure you're wasting your displacers, but it's not like that's a huge deal. Very easy fights.

Isgebind / Apademak solo-able yet?

THF TP Setups, Relic +2 feet worth using?

Head:Raider's+2
Neck:Rancor
Ear:Suppa
Ear:Brutal
Body:Raider's+2
Hands:Raider's+2
Ring:Epona
Ring:Raja
Back:Atheling
Waist:Twilight
Legs:Raider's+2
Feet:Currently use ballerines so looking to either farm up a pair of homam boots or buy Ryuga Sune-ate, unless THF relic feet+2 are better than these two options.

Also does anyone have a link or know of an Exenterator WS setup using abyssea/AH items geared for DC dynamis mobs? I don't have voidwatch, new nyzul/limbus gear available to me at the moment.

On most things Athos Feet will probably beat Relic Feet +2 due to dDEX. If you don't have those, THF Feet +2 will win unless you're getting Marches. If you are getting Marches, then Ryuga/Homam (or any other Haste feet capping you at 26% gear Haste) will win. Ballerines are alright too but the negative attack kinda sucks. So basically Athos Feet > THF Feet +2 without Marches, Ryuga/Homam with. Inside Abyssea, Haste feet should always win.

As for Exen, this should work fine:

Ocelomeh Headpiece (+1) / Justiciar's Torque > Arctier's Torque / AGI Earrings x2 (Altdorf + Wilhelm are great)
Loki's Kaftan / Raider's Armlets +2 / AGI Rings x2 (Stormsouls preferably)
Atheling Mantle / Crudelis Belt / Ambusher's Hose / Raider's Poulaines +2

If you have Denali Jacket, use that on solo Exen and Loki's with SA/TA. Justiciar is sometimes hard to come by but Arctiers is a great alternative. Anguinus Belt should be used if accuracy is an issue. Prosilio is good on some things like in VW with high defense when accuracy isn't an issue but generally (like on DC Dynamis mobs) stick to Crudelis. Urja/Sthira Trousers beat Ambushers too if you come across them but those are hardly in stock.

So I'm trying to farm boxes in temple of ugg. Now I'm pretty sure I can easily cleave all the TWs at the begining but the area where they are isn't directly connected to the area with stuff I can do for GOV so you think it might be more efficient to just cleave the TWs or actually kill ep+s for a long time?

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Since noone answers you

Yes there is a number which i don't have but they are really stupid on the phone and will not help you without a case number

so you have to fill a form for contact on the playonline SE contact site, and they will give you a Case number and a way to contact them (Just hope that your problem is qualified for phone support) or else they will only offer you char or email support

GL

Thanks, I did do that and got a case number, guess I'll have to wait until monday - which helps very little, since my ban would be up by Tuesday as well.

Am I a asshole if I go do WS weapon trials in a abyssea party?

[dasva]

I don't think so but some people get mad especially if you ruby alot lol

[nikia]

Have a few questions about SAM please.

1) For Unkai Kote +2 the Sekkanoki effect means that kote needs to be on for the WS? If so would it be worth using or still use normal WS hands?

2) Since I have 8/8 Katana h2h sword 4/4 Guard Eva I have no room for GKT merits. Would it hurt DMG/ACC/Etc alot to not have GKT merits at all OR could I sacrifice EVA/Guard merits without hurting me much?

Those are the only 2 I can think of right now, any help would be awesome. Thank you for the help.

[Fereydoon]

Guard and Parry merits will do pretty much nothing for you.

Also GKT > Sword or Katana, do not remove H2H merits as H2H skill raises H2H DMG rating.

Alright, I cannot make up my mind where my stat merits should go since the last patch. The only jobs I have are Thief, Corsair, and Blue Mage. Thief does have a cakeknife and will wind up having a Mandau at some point in the future. Corsair has an Armageddon in the works that would be done were I not supremely lazy. Blue Mage is kinda-sorta back burner because I generally use it for my own little solo things, no fancy swords. I assume that strength is kinda a given, but should I go with dexterity or agility for the second stat?

If you do GoV pages on the map w/ the paintbrush door, you should be able to drop back down to the TW's near the hate-reset door - in the SE of the manipulator room there is a 1-way dropoff.

That said, if you have mystery boxes active then prowess barely matters, if you don't have mystery boxes it'll take ridiculously long to drop.

I just cleaved. Had a guy there team up for camping to help me open sometimes since I could get up to 4 boxes in a cleave. Dropped after 4 runs so not too bad

I want to kill Rani

Setup Whm Whm Monk (empy85)

I need tips to don't fail >< , I Victory Smite WS right? , Which Atma should i use?, Should i lower him to like 35% before start brew?

[Radec]

Brew soon as you hit blue!!(if doing for it ring), normal atma (RR GH SS or similar) for VSmite. He absorbs physical during TP moves, so if you can't kill him in the blue!! lock then try to avoid WS during his WS, just turn for a second.

3mins of brew is easily enough time for 1 if you don't heal it a lot, if doing multiples and want blue on all of them it'll be better to do mnk whm (brewer) where the brewer is on a stronger brewing job ie: wildfire.
