Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

How much damage will Aeolian Edge do on average with Gales and Ultimate?

[DNAval]

Yes type of blue maybe it's just my horrid luck but TEs are non-existent for me

[Aihree]

Making latent checker work was basically unequip > move to satchel/sack > requiip find out points, yes? Doesn't work for me unless there's a newer latent checker I don't have.

If you're refering to Apnea's latent checker, leave out the 'reequip' step. Load program, make it see your weapons, move weapon to satchel, check points. Then pull it out and reequip and resume. It'll only be able to see points while it's in your satchel.

Ah, that did it, thanks.

Anyone care to share what their average drop of TEs is from first pull after capping lights?
Ofcourse I mean cleaving

How much damage will Aeolian Edge do on average with Gales and Ultimate?

with 100% TP I think in the ballpark of 700~800 depending on the mob you're fighting.

How do you learn Self-Destruct on BLU? Any special conditions?

No special conditions, though it would have me thinking there was a few days ago. Went somewhere in the ballpark of 1/110~

[Massimo]

largely unsubstantiated claim

However, it's still the most likely explanation. Everything I've done in Abyssea leads me to believe that it is correct.

[Beave]

Pretty sure it's best in slot for Chant du Cygne, your server has taken Castle O if a few pages back is any indication. It drops from the same BCNM as roundel earring.

That pretty much explains it. I don't really follow campaign anymore like most of us haha

I was recently given a second account, unfortunately the character is Galka. The white mage is level 40 and I was thinking about leveling it to healbot myself. How much mp can a level 90 Galka WHM expect to have, and does it really matter these days with practically infinite mp?

[Lyramion]

What are reasonable Tachi: Jinpu numbers to expect while under brew? Against say, Shinryu.

Shinryu takes anything from 13 to 40k+ from Jinpu with MAB stuff. Jinpu seems like a strange Magical WS, it can miss but also seems to be able to CRIT and then be boosted by Magic stuff.

[Thorny]

While we're not making stuff up (5/6)^150 = 0.00000000013%, assuming that all of the six possibilities for top tier chests are equal (not actually sure on that). But by your logic no one wins the lottery either, right?

it's 4/5 not 5/6

exp, cruor, time, restore, temps

using notepad++ count on logs for a 14 hour period that i blind opened all chests, they were all within 5% of each other so it's pretty reasonable to call them equal

.8 ^ 150 = 2.907354897182427562197295231552e-15

ie: 0.0000000000000029(my bad, i dropped digits instead of rounding to nearest before)

the chance of winning the powerball is 1.2394936423586684905698605774635e-12, which is 500x MORE likely than your story about boxes

If you're willing to put time into the char's WHM gear, you should be fine outside of abyssea. Inside of abyssea your max MP matters zilch when MM is locked in.

Wivre hairpin w/ refresh
Orison bliaud +2
Owleyes
Serpentes cuffs/sabots
Moonshade earring w/ refresh

puts me at 6 MP/tick in non-abyssea situations, and paired with any form of support refresh means you need to try hard to blow your MP away.

My WHM sits around 1050 MP as hume idle, and I don't even bother with max MP sets anymore due to space. Even with 8/8 and identical gear to a my hume, the galka would most likely be around 800-900 max.

Jinpu always was an odd bird, was there ever a valid explanation for the stupid high numbers against rampart mobs in salv?

rampart mobs take silly damage from magic, and it's a twofold attack.

How much Picture trade needed for Abyssea Konschtat fame?

[Cairthenn]

Anyone have concrete information on how Stray Mary PHs work? Wiki is just a mess for this NM.

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Th..._of_the_Matter

If you combine that quest with Mightier Martello and a few of the Purple Polypore quests / random other quests you can knock out the fame in 4-5 hours. If you only want to do pictures it takes 5 turn ins per fame level.

[Gokku]

how much DW is on nin head af3 +2 nothing listed on other wiki

[noodles355]

The Egg enthusiast quest, done it on thf multiple times with no drama.
Just done it twice on Rdm exactly the same way as on thief, the only difference being on thf I used Tonko/Monomi and Rdm I used Sneak/Invis. Didn't get aggro, didn't use conflux, but the egg is always broken when I talk to the NPC.

Does casting Sneak/Invis break the egg? Is this like a bug or something?

[nikia]

Actually I've never had any good luck on TE's, and here's what I do
Zone in kill 7 vnm for pearl
Kill 7 emph mobs for azure
Gather a ton of mobs ( 15-20 ^_^ I know I know
AE them 2 times leave them @ 12-20% blast them with blmga for more azure
= 2 TEs in about 75 mins
And for my random question do frogs in la thien drop TEs? Rather do diff mobs have diff drop rates on blue box tier?

I always heard emph gives 10 azure?
Also read that vnm give 5 pearl/amber?
Want to farm pdt rings on nin/dnc so wonder what is best. Also been killing lizards since they seem easiest.
If vnm does give 5 pearl/amber does both trigger on kill or do I need to magic ws kill for amber?
Thank you for the help.
