Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[spider123]

Ok, so
After that, the next obvious step is 9/9 and all the caturae. The only thing keeping me from Attohwa's boss is Tunga. Any tips on that little fuck? I feel like if I could get a clean pull and a clean 5-10 seconds fighting it, I should be able to solidify the fight enough to take it down, but it just keeps bouncing hate everywhere and petrifying everyone nonstop, and is annoying as fuck. Does it have some sort of messed up hate or hate reset? It feels that way, but it also may just be because I can't just get those few seconds to solidify it. I don't think the wamoura boss should give me any trouble, once tunga's out of the way.

I've done it MNK+WHM, though he's a total dick. His hate mechanics are really odd, just as you pointed out; dunno what his problem is.
Also, If you happen to wipe, he won't use chainspell anymore after you push him down his thresholds. Horned Beast Atma in this case is a lifesaver if you have it for you+mages. (superior acc and resist petrify)

The 24 hours doesn't start until JP midnight, so depending on when you got suspended you could be locked out for up to 47 hours.

EDIT: I didn't think they directly told you the duration of your suspension? Except for that POL message they send that you can't check until after the suspension is lifted...

I went to the square enix support website. and he told me it was 24hrs for harrassment but couldnt tell me any more info. shit is frustrating cause im 100% sure i didnt harass anyone.

Unless otherwiki is wrong, one of the KI needed for Kukulkan(the Ahriman) doesn't come from the gold chests. But out of what you're missing Kukulkan and the Grauberg boss would be easiest since im assuming your RDM has a good nuke set for the damage absorption shift. Melo melo is really annoying but the KI apparently comes in gold chests so you're better off taking your mules and doing that. I see shouts pretty often for the new zones though, not sure if its different on Carby, so I'd just have someone whose standing in Port Jeuno keep a lookout for you while you're off gold chest farming.

Raja is apparently not too bad when compared to Rani from what I'm told. Only annoying part is the subjob lock if you go as MNK. And Tunga is just a douchebag, I don't envy anyone who needs the wamoura drops for their Empyrean path.

-.- how the fuck I'm supposed to pop Sedna when every time I go to try to get a pop item, I gotta deal w/ this shit.

Tried going during JP prime, NA prime, Optimus Prime, same thing every fucking time

Wiki is wrong, you can definitely get the eye from chests, thats how all my mules have it. And tunga can be soloed by mage/nin with rr, nuke it, run untill it deaggroes, and nuke again when it goes yellow. alot easier than DDing it, unless you can kill it within one Petrify screen.

How much of a fool am I for trying to farm myself a refresh hairpin from abyssea-kon? I spent 6 hrs there last night, and another 6 hrs tonight with capped pearl/azure/amber and ended up with a bunch of npc fodder. I kept track tonight and got 5 rings, 4 shields, and 8 pins. I don't expect refresh pin instantly, but what kind of long haul am I in for here? Is refresh like 5% chance on pin?

I've done roughly 6 5hr+ runs to give you an idea.

anyone know percentage for bonus on twilight cape? couldn't find anything on search or wiki.

What is the fastest or best way to build cruor?

[Innuendo]

Could NIN/DNC solo Raskovnik?

It'd be easy if he couldn't charm you. Since he can, it's a question of luck (and limiting his tp gain.)

Exp/Dom ops?

Balls, was hoping there was something better than that!

The ahriman is actually the only thing cockblocking me right now. I tried popping it the other day, then noticed my MNK wouldn't hit it at all and figured I shoulda read the wiki article closer >_>

And I'm actually on Odin, my thing still says Carby just mainly due to nostalgia i guess D: I've yet to see any shouts trying to do bosses or caturae. Well, that's a lie, I've probably seen JPs shouting for it, but a ton of them in this server are dicks, and I doubt I would be able to get one of my characters to join, let alone all 3

I'll try a petrify screen for Tunga, and then rdm/nin solo if that doesn't work. Thanks!

edit: my mule's nuking gear isn't that good ._. MY nuking gear is, but not the mule's D:

You can just stun it with violent flourish.

How well would tp bonus great sword + smiting blow fare?

[AlexRuzhyo]

As lol as PLD is right now, I've nothing else to dump merits into.

For Group 2 I have Chivalry 5/5 and Fealty 1/5. I'm wondering which other should I go 4/5 or cap: Iron Will or Guardian? Iron Will seems like a a decent choice but I'm unversed in how Spell Interruption rate actually works. Aka, don't know is -100% is actually 100% in the game.

I hear it's an extra .1 but I'll need to test it on SCH.
