You know the formula for damage, just solve for mdb. It's really not that hard.

You absolutely were supposed to learn how to solve for x.

**Yugl** · 2010-12-12 01:43

Which would require me to backtrack for every mob, right?

Edit: I actually don't know the formula for damage until Rena answers me in another thread actually.

**rog** · 2010-12-12 01:45

It's on wiki...

**Yugl** · 2010-12-12 01:46

You do realize I'm not talking about elemental magic right?

**rog** · 2010-12-12 01:53

Seeing as you never specified what you were talking about, no, i didn't. Not that it rally matters.

ANNND just got a 250 exp chest...wtf?

Just had a 0 chest pull. Dropping 90% of the time when i single kill. Definitely something up.

Killed 7 emph. mobs tonight in vunk trying to build a little time before NMs and azure still wasn't capped. Idk what's up

Mobs reset their level more rapidly than before. In the past, we would expect most Scars Emph mobs to be at the VT/IT level. However, because of the change, it's possible that they're sitting at DC more often than before. Also, his problem is more specific to the fact that AoEing mobs is yielding less chests than individual kills rather than being an issue where he is not capping lights.

**rog** · 2010-12-12 03:16

Yeah, lights are all capped, as normal from ephemerals and vnms. I've been killing individually since a little after i made that post, and not having any trouble getting chests doing so.

Does anyone know what exactly was changed in regards to the Caturae spawn conditions?

Not sure about respawn time ( does the new rule of 10-15 min repop apply to them? ), but they definitely do stay up now, the fast and seemingly random depop seem to have gone.

Saw Iratham up for 2hr at least before someone killed it, similar for Sippoy.

I think the fact that the mission progress CS requires killing all of them = SE has made them more available.

What is the best atma pair for Mnk these days? Haven't actually done enough abyssea to obtain any, so wondering which I should work towards with coming back and all.

Raized Ruins should be your first target. Makes your Ascetic Fury do 2k+. Voracious Violet is the popular one to pair it with.

If the previous pt fighting a nm and proc grellow they wipe and goes unclaimed, then my pt claims it. Does the grellow effect stay or does my pt have to proc it again? TY bg

If it lost hate on every target, you'd have to proc it again. If it went white and you took it while it still had hate on the other party, you'd get the effect.

I did get 4 Zdeis in a row at an exact 10min repop interval between each, though I could have just gotten lucky.

I will admit though that I didn't note the exact repop times on others (non VNM), just that it was around the vicinity of 10min. It could very well be a 10-15min window.

Eitherway, this certainly is a huge improvement over how it previously was.

Also want to chime in on the increased abyssite drop rate. Merit from Warbler 1/1 no Red !!, Merit from Bhumi 1/3, Lenity from Limule 2/2, Destiny from Limule 2/2, Avarice from Clinoid 1/1.

**Naratu** · 2010-12-12 09:02

Were Turul or Ovni respawn times changed at all by the last update?

**Dooom** · 2010-12-12 09:15

I don't know about Turul but I'm 90% sure Ovni has been.

**Andradi** · 2010-12-12 09:41

Which stat do I merit? Dex for CDC, Int for nukes, Str for whatever?

I know STR used to be the default but I'm not sure if that holds true anymore. RDM and DRK, if it makes any difference.

Ah, that makes sense actually. Guess i won't worry about it unless it happens again.
