Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[Not Kuno]

Easily. Kite it around the rock where he pops, between efts and worms.

How fast does it move? Kind of worried since that rock is tiny as hell.

+12% i think.

[Kirschy]

Can you counter Iron Giants' attacks? Same question for Shinryu. Asking obviously because of their aoe/multihit nature.

They're considered TP moves and can't be countered

Is there a way for me to "check" my saved POL passwords? I have them saved on my main PC, but i can't see them to input them on my laptop.

So I'm thinking of doing some Bukhis soon, any tips/info? Otherwiki doesn't really list much. Does the cruor-dispel move always dispel it, or is it just a chance? That looks like the worst part of the fight, since it would drop my pathetic taru hp even lower. A few stacks of holy water should do for doom? Any approximation on how much hp it has?

edit: OH, forgot about stun, lol. I have 2 stunners, apparently the doom move is stunnable, what about the cruor dispel one?

[Massimo]

Stunning Ruinous Scythe only and keeping shadows up when it's about to WS, to lower the chance of Lethal Triclip dispelling your buffs, is usually what we do. It DOES build resistance to stun, but if you stick to Ruinous only, it won't become a problem.

If you're 3-boxing, I'd say bring 4+ stacks of Holy Waters, as you never know if he'll be a bitch about it. If you DO happen to go down, he's easily kited, as he only runs at 12% (if that?). Can keep it stalled forever just outside of #00, while you run back or unweaken on your tank.

[Byrthnoth]

Use evasion-high DDs and rape him. Bring Holy Waters and people with Cursna, turn away from Lithic Ray, keep up a few shadows at all times even if you don't have hate.

What's best WS/Atma setup for brewing on WAR? Want to kill Bukhis back to back. 2 Bukhis, 1 Brew. I hear Elemental WS works best.

Cataclysm probably unless he resists dark damage? Unsure tbh.

Assuming he is resistant to dark damage (he is dark-based and weak to light), what other weapon skills would be best for a WAR using brew on Bukhis?

I'm thinking Sanguine Blade (Sword) or Herculean Slash (Great Sword) ... I don't know anything about Flash Nova (Club) yet if anybody has tested that.

I also have the choice of changing to RNG and using Trueflight (Marksmanship) since it's also an elemental WS.

Any help is appreciated. Have a lot of Bukhis to do still and Earth Crusher was sucking big time.

Searched on Windower forums and no response yet to the same question http://forums.windower.net/topic/184..._1#entry200605

Basically, took some advice, downloaded/installed FFXI through Steam instead of swapping out a bazillion CD/DVD's. Thing is, steam likes to install things in a steamy way...

AKA: Normally XI is installed in (a 64-bit OS install) C:\Programs (x86)\playonline\FFXI ... or something similar : Windower knows this so it has no problem finding the POL.exe file

With steam, it installs in steam/steamapps/wemakesureyouneedtohavesteaminstalledtoliveyourlif e/finalfantasy/xi/adventures/faggotry/ihatecomputers.... etc. And Windower can't find the POL.exe file... basically

So... i'm foobar.. and i'm probably gonna have to uninstall this steam bullshit, and just clean install the game from scratch...which makes me want to punch babies.

In abyssea-kon, approximately how many lights do vnm, emph clionids, pavan, or notorious monsters give?

Wouldn't do Sanguine Blade. It's dark based.

Yeah, 3boxing. Doing it mainly for atma and +2s, and to gauge the possibility of doing a bow in the future. Might just bring a few extra bodies to help with red and to tank in case I fall. Thanks.

edit: Re:Elemental WS, Flash Nova should be really good, from what I heard. Don't have it yet so can't really say for sure, though.

Download the POL from the FFXI site and update it, should be able to use the steam ffxi files and run through windower still, worked for me at least.

Thanks both.

As it stands right now I'm debating between staying WAR to use Flash Nova or Herculean Slash and changing to RDM to use Aeolian Edge. I'd want to stay on WAR because that's how I get popsets and farm time.

also is impact still a novelty spell?

Any mobs in Abyssea - Tahrongi that give enhanced lights besides Ephs? If so, how many kills to max?

[Koyangi]

Popping/claiming a mob during Blunt hours, is only 1 of the WS listed amongst all the Staff, Club, H2H WS the 1 that'll proc Blue Kind of like how Grellow works?

maybe nm's but cap really depends on what abyssites you have.

yes

All NMs give enhanced lights. In addition, all NMs (aside from the Avatars, I'm told) give guaranteed Pearl if you melee kill shot. It's generally accepted that the amount of enhanced light is based on the level of the mob (including Ephemerals), so nobody can really give you a fixed number. It also varies by how many Abyssite you have that boost lights and any zone-wide bonuses to chests/lights from stuff like Dominion or Bastion.
