Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

Probably beat to death, but I didn't see it within the first couple pages or so of the Abyssea thread. When using 1000 needles to proc Green-Yellow !! does it have to deal damage?

Yes. Eat an Ascetics, wear Apollo's, and it'll have a high enough land rate that it's not a problem.

Equip it both precast and midcast, and/or press your macro 2x.

Doh, so simple. Thank you!

[Raen Ryong]

Never listen to wiki, it makes every single mob in abyssea sound so god damn hard, and they never are.

All "hits for x amount of damage" reports are from people with 0% MDT/PDT and often with Berserk up etc from my experience <_<

It's called fear tactics.

So I play on a macbook pro, and I recently got a new graphics card, and since then, whenever I boot up the game after about 10 minutes it just shits out. Is it safe to assume Apple fucked up when putting in the new Graphics card? Or could I help this by lowering resolution or something along those lines. I really am not to good with computers, so I figured I would ask before bringing it back to the store to get fixed.

It's apples fault- Assuming you have Apple care, so just take it in and explain the issue. If you're using BootCamp, they're going to say that it's a problem with Bootcamp and/or the Windows partition and try to make you backup/reinstall. Same deal with a virtual pc client like Parallels. Also, I wasn't aware that you could upgrade your graphics card in Macbooks/iMacs through them >_> How much did it set ya back if ya don't mind my asking

Oh god that's brilliant. Nobody will ever go after our NM's if we make them think they're the antichrist.

Currently have 1400 minutes from a 18 hr Party will the update kill my time?

For enemy TP gain and h2h, is the delay before or after martial arts used for base tp?

I can't guarantee the update, but during the emergency maintenance a couple weeks ago from the login issues, our experience was that you don't lose your atmas, lights or time remaining (continues to count down, but is not erased); you just lose cruor buffs the same as any other time you disconnect/log off.

A full-fledged, version update maintenance might be different, though.

Burning MNK in abyssea, any essential sets/gear/adivce ill need?

[Maurauc]

Okay, having some troubles with FF at the moment.
None of the NPCs in Windurst Waters (S) load on my screen, and about 10 seconds later, my game freezes horrendously. It usually results in a crash, but sometimes I can get around 0.1FPS. I figured a file check would fix it, but it always stops around 29k files to go, on a 99.DAT and then won't continue any further. Is it possible fixing this DAT would get the File check running again, or is my only chance to reinstall FF (From somewhere as I don't have the disks on me)?

since caping str is easy in abysea how would gnarled horn (+50 agi) work with caped str for sidewinder . vv/gh or sa/gh.

[Khajit]

Rng doesnt cap fstr automatically so you might want to rethink that statement. The fstr cap is dependent on your base dmg so fstr is capped using cruor buffs for lower/mid range damage weapons.

After.

[Shalafi]

Ok, so I'm rethinking my RDM merits; have 5 Ice Acc and was wondering with the rest should I cap Wind or Earth Acc? I see arguments for both, just want more opinions.

[Nightfyre]

Bliz 4 this update, keep them in ice.

[Cream Soda]

After.

yay

[Shalafi]

Bliz 4 this update, keep them in ice.

wondering with the rest should I cap Wind or Earth Acc?

Sorry for not being clear, I am keeping my ice, it's the other 5 I'm asking about.

[Amok]

Earth acc for Break! Also nice for the little extra chance (if resisting is ever an issue) that Slow2 will stick and it won't waste a Saboteur.

[Nightfyre]

Sorry for not being clear, I am keeping my ice, it's the other 5 I'm asking about.

Hurp, my bad. If you're going to throw the rest in macc I'd do earth.
