Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

**Rikura** · 2011-01-24 01:29

Sorry if this has been answered a million times...I remember seeing someone say they could get 3 Chloris pops in 2 hours. What's the best way to do so? A friend and I were just getting a feel for the zone (new to this...) and getting pops the normal way, but of course it's painstakingly slow. We tried cleaving for a bit but we had trouble capping azure/amber etc...

Friend is: WAR MNK BLM
I'm: NIN MNK THF, and boxing 2 chars: a WHM, and a BLM

Any tips? Thanks!

Have him Cataclysm burn on WAR or MNK. You can link mobs on THF or MNK and Aeolian/Cata with him while healing on WHM.

You will have absurdly high magic evasion though, so anything that's not 100% is probably going to miss you.

How do you figure? I've slept some brewed charmed people at Rani fairly easily.

Weird. the fact that you have ~700 less int then them should have really shot your MAcc to shit. I guess the dINT term in MAcc might have a floor as well as a cap?

Can anyone confirm this is a valid claim? Years of trying to remove Doom, anyone can attest to the low chance of Cursna succeeding, specially since it's usually spammed by everyone (BRDs, RDMs with uncapped healing, etc).

If this is at all true, it would be very worth capping my mule's Healing skill to avoid blunders at Bukhis (like BRD and RDM Cursna spam + 5-6 Holy waters still failing to remove Doom at some point).

I don't yet have recapped healing magic and I had quite a high success rate on Bukhis at 90 as a WHM. I don't think you'd need 400 skill.

Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind could you elaborate a bit on how high exactly your healing skill was? And if possible, just throw out an eyeballed success rate, please.

Mine's around 280 atm, and I didn't have too much success removing Adze's Doom not long ago.
Recently lvled WHM, mule's usually on BRD, so don't have much personal experience with Cursna on a main healing job.

**Alkimi** · 2011-01-24 07:58

From the many, many times I've seen cursna spam on DDs healing magic skill makes no difference whatsoever. People who were brd/whm were just as likely to succeed in removing doom as those on whm main.

MNK WHM BLM BLM have any trouble straight tanking Itzpapalotl or Titlacauan?

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-01-24 09:24

If your BLMs are handy with the Stuns, you really shouldn't. Titl will likely turn into a kited fight though.

Yes, easily. You will probably have to do some kiting when Titlacauan charms but other than that they're pretty straightforward.

Does anyone know if Yurin: Ichi reduces the amount of TP a mob gets from all sources or only the TP it gains from landing a hit on a character?

I don't know about spells/etc, but I think the original Yurin: Ichi tests were done by hitting the monster.

might be easier to just have the blm kite it with bind (grav only as needed). used to solo on blu but often had a 2nd person changing jobs for grellow. there's some nice rocks by conflux 7 and 0 agro.

How long do empyrean aftermaths last?

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-01-24 10:35

100-199TP: 30 seconds
200-299TP: 60 seconds
300TP: 90 seconds

**Innuendo** · 2011-01-24 10:47

Thanks! And the question I was going to edit in: what's procrate on ODD?

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-01-24 10:49

The numbers everyone currently uses are 30%/40%/50%.

Good place to skill up weapons 230+? Excluding Abyssea?

**Byrthnoth** · 2011-01-24 11:17

Depending what your weapon rank/general durability is, I'd use Seaboard Vultures and Aerns then move on to Crawlers in Rolanberry [S].

**etelosbo** · 2011-01-24 11:22

Which gorget/belt for Victory Smite? Will Light work? If Light works, will Light belt > Black belt?
