    Latents on Rank 3 items

    Anybody get one of the throwing items yet from rank 3? I should be getting one soon so just wondering how the latent works on them.

    Thanks^^.

    Is that proven or just the most logical guess?

    Sweet, I was afraid they would be useful. This certainly puts my mind at ease.

    I LOL'd a bunch at this. Then I realized it summed FFXI up pretty well.

    Now it's funny and sad. Kinda like the pretty girl's friend that doesn't realize she's only the pretty girl's friend.

    Hey now. BLMs now have something to raise their throwing skill short of buying a shitton of pebbles. I guess other jobs too. ..yay?

    Now if I accidentally throw my Satchet for some stupid reason, I might have a chance to connect with it. Maybe. Not really.

    returnable and non magic

    Seeing as the only other returnable throwing weapon a RDM can use is the nigh-unattainable Aureole, these do have a pretty good use even if activating the latent might be rare. To be able to easily Level Throwing while screwing around, PLUS being able to pull with non-magic when magic aggro might be around seems pretty cool to me even if not ub3r powerful.

    Seriously this is why im getting one. I buy darts each week to pull in dynamis, now I can have a throwing/returns? Awesome

    Nobody posted that they actually tested out the latents, so can't say they're useless (aside from the all jobs pulling).

    If it involves actual Besieged then its pretty retarded, but if its fighting that race of mobs or fighting in that race's territory, that'd be useful. Increased crit rate in troll xp camps for example, would be damn nice.

    Also the enchantments on those things would be rather awesome if the duration is good.

    Tavnazia Ring FTW. Easiest way to OP warp if your HP is not in your home city, imo.

    Reraise items, I rather enjoy those.

    For these items it'd directly depend on the duration (and potency for the refresh, but over 1/tick seems unlikely).

    VIT+10 for 30s = pretty dumb, at best use it to boost a single VIT-mod WS.

    VIT+10 for 30mins = good stuff, for PLD or VIT-mod WS (hth, gax..)

    Only when Tavnazia isn't under beastmen control.

    In Carby, that's maybe 33% of the time.

    Exp Rings as well, last I checked, people love them.
