Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[NynJa]

Ku is one of the blue proc WS, so you'll probably want to get that.

To elaborate over this, Kamu's accuracy down effect isnt Blind, so you ideally could stack Kamu with Kurayami. It could have situational uses.

If I got a Yataghan Augmented with Crit Hit Damage+, would that Crit Bonus apply to Ranged Attacks as well?

I don't want to waste time/notes on it if it is only applied to the Dagger itself.

All Crit Damage + appears to affect ranged attacks. Even Impetus JA from MNK works on ranged attacks. It would seem likely that the crit dmg+ from dagger helps ranged hits~

I have completed the quest 'Hope Blooms on the Battlefield' in Abyssea - Konschtat and Raibaht will not flag the Martello quest which should logically follow. I even zoned in and out. I even waited a game day. Neither wiki states any other form of prerequisite. If it matters, I even did the quest delivering linkpearls to the 3 camps, subsequently zoned and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. I have also done 16 Camera turn ins and still nothing from Raibaht. Wiki says I'll cap fame at 24 turn ins and that the Martello quest he gives is fame level 3, which means I'm theoretically at level 3 since my 12th camera turn in.

Bolded new info, original never got an answer.

Same. This is the last quest I need and I can't flag it for the life of me.

Just got COR AF3+2 Body (already had +2 head and hands) and was wondering should I wear those 3 pieces over COR AF1 Hat, Loki's Kaftan and Schutzen Mittens for QD. I just went out and tested the difference on some skellys in Xarc and the difference didn't seem that bad (losing bout 12 damage).

Kinda just asking to get a general opinion. I'm workin on finishing the set in which i'll be changing out Denali legs for +2 legs (if that's a good idea).

How would a RDM go about soloing Adze? Would it be easier/more worth my time to attempt a solo on either dnc or thf with a shit ton of evasion?

You could pin it.

Looking for a run down on good WHM gear and atmas.

Fastest way to build fame in Abyssea Kons. to flag Playing Papparazi?

Throw money at it? purple polypore quest and limule pincer quest if your just wanting to spam

Realistic answer : picture quest of superior pictures of T1 VNM (or other NM) 1/game day turn in. Need less then 24 for max fame if you also upgrade martello.

Are T3 VNMs in Heroes zones doable with mnk whm rdmorbrd? They sound kinda nasty D: but otherwiki makes everything sound nasty (thinking of doing ochain <.<)

Anyone have any info on t3 vnms at all? :<

[Terravcota]

Buffs: It's possible but is also a logistical nightmare once you start scheduling it out.

Cures wouldn't be possible though.

Here's one question I have. We've been killing Glavoid non-stop recently, but I've started having chat log issues. Up until now, I've been able to see Disgorge so I can stun, but now Disgorge is not showing up at all. I've tried resetting my filters, turning off all filters and logging out, but the move still does not show up. Any idea what's causing this?

When I did Glavoid ~2 weeks ago and my character wasn't in the tanking party I had to turn off the filter for Special Actions on/by Others - having the Allies filters turned off still filtered it for some reason. The second character I had in the tanking party saw it fine without having to do anything special. Not sure if this the problem you're having if you turned off all filters.

@ All Above,

I just go MNK/SAM, Smiting Blow/Ultimate/Cosmos (Beyond only beats SB when @200+TP for obvious reasons), Artemis Medal, Moldy/Hecate's Earring, Pluto's Staff, Kirin's Osode, Denali Kecks and INT+6 rings for misc INT/MAB gear that I have room for. Fulltime hasso, Sekkanoki anything over 200TP like restore chests, and let the mobs beat on me for free TP while my Whm curebombs me. With big enough pulls and capped azure I have an Ascetic's on pretty much fulltime, so at 100TP I'll do about 2070 damage, going up to 2600 at 200TP.

Thanks for the info. Not sure what was messed up in my test, but putting together a proper gear set similar to described, and with those 3 atma, I was getting between 1900 and 2500 damage, with most between 2000 and 2200. A significant improvement over before.

How much HP should I be aiming for to solo tank Carabosse on nin without fear of being 1 shotted from the nasty aga spells? Will be a low man kill with my sister on whm, don't have mnk to use so will have to be with nin.

Was thinking to use rr/vv and impregnable tower atmas.

Why would you need to survive aga spells?

edit: Unless whm suddenly lost the ability to stun. 1 stun can stun 1/2 the spells, so just stun aga, it's not very likely to use aga twice in a row, hell, it usually changes mode by then. Although things could get messy, I guess. I've never been hit by aga so no clue how much damage it does.

edit2: Merits for Cor? QD recast and Snake eyes are given, but do I really need 10macc on quick draws..? Wouldn't -10sec on phantom rolls be more useful to get the initial buffs up? I already have 3/5 fold, just wondering if I should bother with a merit on loaded deck or not.

With a decent MDT set and 5/6 abyssite of merit & 3 furtherance that should be plenty. I've eaten the Tornado 2 from carabosse on war without much problem, and I tend to use Sanguine Scythe, not Impregnable Tower.

Question:
What are the ftp value and Str % Modifier for Ukko's?

[Koyangi]

Question 1:
Anyone able to list name of quest or mob(s) that can give the Merit(hp/mp) and Furtherance(cruor stats) Abyssites? How many total are of each?
I am and have been doing quests to acquire some already, I'm just trying to acquire all of them to make future lowmanning of NM's as easy and quick as possible, and to make sure I don't miss any.


Also, I guess it's pretty official that the Konschtat Martello quests are broken (cant be flagged).

Question 2:
Other than just being a completionist, what is the reward to completing every quest in an abyssea zone, in addition, getting all abyssites or atmas in the zone as well?

Thanks.

Question:
What are the ftp value and Str % Modifier for Ukko's?

The few tests we did here pointed it towards being 2.25 50% or 2.0 60%. Studio Gobli's got it at 2.0 60%, which is most likely the correct answer.

Anyone knows/tested how the "Enhances Addendum" effect work on the Savant's Gown +1/2 ? I just picked up mine, was wondering if I could do some testing to figure this out ?

Edit: I MIGHT be going insane, after grinding so much to get all the seals/cards, but I'm pretty sure the enhanced effect is lowering the recast of stratagems used under the appropriate addendum by 15 seconds, which means 1 Strat/45s under the appropriate addendum. Can someone else confirm this ?
