Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Koyangi]

If you zone out of maw, warp, etc with less that 5 minutes remaining in Abyssea do you now keep all your temp items, or are they lost? Are they only lost if you get booted?

[Nemesio]

Lock it with a red !!, and then chainspell/brew it down.

Watched an LS wipe to this, so I ran, bought a brew, and killed it from 90%-0% in about 3 minutes. I was on NIN, but iirc Kidnoftle should have NIN. I cured him for about 40k throughout the fight due to laziness and not paying attention.

edit: when I say 3 minutes, I literally mean, my brew wore off on my last Jin, which killed him(probably should have used more elemental WS's though, seeing as that was averaging 9k, while Jin was doing 6-10)

I left under 5 mins the other day, got the hour long wait but kept temp items.

For counterfeit gil for the COR emote quest, are there zones in which pathfinders just outright don't drop it? I've been runnin around for hours none of them want to put out, getting kind of silly now.

[Malacite]

ok gonna try again...

any recommendations for easy capping EVA for a 90 SAM // THF ?

[Kidnoftle]

Killing 8 chesmas, 35ish carabosses, and 35ish Cirein-Croins.

Oh and all the things that lead up to the carabosses and crein croins

Random question, 8/8 on blm seal: feet but having a hard time getting the base boots. I have never purposely farm them, usually just during seal farm and LS raid, and have seen a few other AF boots. Is there a way to efficiently farm them with 1 or 2 ppl? Thank you.

[Kidnoftle]

You could either just build amber and kill until you have to reclock stones or you could just time farm w/ amber built as well. Really no trick to it besides sitting down and grinding boxes.

I famred rdm, blm, war, and mnk feet solo just blasting worms on blm.

What's the best way to go about getting PDT/MDT dark rings? Start exp and cap azure/pearl/amber, break off and solo? Easiest mob to solo there mnk/nin?

Also, no af3 feet, so how do I get a pt to want to do amber to begin with?

[Raen Ryong]

Can Myrmecoleon be done as a DD + Mage or Mage+Mage duo, whats the droprate like on tactical mantle?

I've done him with RDM/NIN x2 a few times. You need to drag him to a rock you can semi-pin him on á la Mict roughly South of his pop spot. To dodge the lamenters, you can run it in a big circle starting north (past the Limules - they seem to aggro at night); Powder Boots a good idea.

Currently 0/4 or something on anything but the Head.

[Cream Soda]

If I do shantoto pants for PDT-4% on mnk, what's the best secondary stat? Haste so I'm not w/o haste while I'm in my PDT? Waltz cost-5 for my dnc? Pet magic acc for pup (no af2 legs)

[Katoke]

So, have had 3 of the THF AF3+2's since last update and have to say that I've never seen a triple damage proc on a Critical Triple attack and that's to say using Triple Attack Superior atma quite often. I'm pretty sure I've seen it proc on WS, but anyone can verify/debunk this with some proof? Outside of abyssea I've seen it proc on normal non crit triple attacks and it's cool, but not seeing a return with stacking critical hit rate+

[Kidnoftle]

Can Myrmecoleon be done as a DD + Mage or Mage+Mage duo, whats the droprate like on tactical mantle?

Yes, both mage2x and meleemage, and droprate is high

you won't lose them even if you get booted.

[fredjanx]

Would not suggest this. I tried it the other week to try and get a ls win and didn't pan out sooo hot

What type of avatar is the T2 VNM in Abyssea-Grauberg? How easy/hard is it? Can MNK and WHM duo?

Are the T1 VNMs as easily soloable in Heroes areas as they are in Scars/Visions areas?

Garuda; seems ok if you prepare properly (shell, MDT gear, etc. etc.). IDK about the T1s.

[Salmijr]

keep getting "..a command error has occurred' everytime i try to use Waltz 5, is there a bug or something? its broken on both PCs i use, and when i try to type out /ja "curing waltz V" <me> it doesn't work either... pretty lame

Thanks~

Your spellcast esources has waltz 5 mislabled. Try to //updateresources. If it doesnt work, go to your windower/plugins/resources folder, open abils.xml in notepad or notepad ++. Search for walts V and see if the prefix is /jobability. Or the line may be missiong completely.

Probably not melee soloable, but they are mage soloable. Constant aura depending on the vnms element, and spamming high-ish tier nukes of said element, with the same melee resistance as normal elementals.
