Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

I'm sure you do something others would consider stupid as well, so it really makes no diff, unless you only play optimal jobs etc.

I do plenty of "things other people consider stupid" in game for fun, but I don't go to jeuno/whitegate and shout about how fucking awesome said things are and challenge people to efights over it.

I don't need 40k/hr to be happy. I'm a bit worried about needing the crap to do the 80-85 86-90 cap quests though.


[EDIT] Btw, did SE ever remove the level caps on the add-on missions? My brother wants to get them done, but I recall the 60-cap fights were a bitch to get people for.

You should be able to make a ToAU party relatively easily. There are a lot of people willing to EXP outside abyssea with the recent update, and even a Lesser Colibri camp with the updated exp can bring in a nice haul per hour.

You're going to need to get into Abyssea sooner or later if you want to even remotely stay relevant. I think you might not be grasping how much the game has shifted its focus onto Abyssea. And which 60-cap fights are you talking about, exactly? All of the add-ons' (MKD, ASA, ACP) battlefields are uncapped from the looks of it.

Best way to raise fame in Abyssea - Konschtat?

To piggy-back on the closed glavoid thread, I am interested in farming up some MAB rings from gold chests. Would I follow the same plan of capping azure > pearl> amber> then AOE groups of mobs?

Is there some trick to upgrading martellos 'from the east'?

Spoiler: show

I'm stood in the exact same spot (due East of the martello) each time and keep getting asked if I want to upgrade the martello from the N/NE/SE/S/SW/W/NW and eventually E.

[Tambor]

It said east for me everytime I clicked on it, but then I just went to the direction the actual command in the menu said and did it from there, everytime I got "unparalleled success"

Yeah. It took me a full Glavoid+Chloris Empyrean path to see 2x MAB+3 rings though.

I'm pretty out of the loop with blu stuff, what exactly does blu excel at besides being needed for grellows? Just curious about what I would normally use blu for once I finish getting spells/gearing it up.

AOEing for TE, gold boxes etc. Imo Blu is the best at AOEing.

I did some searching but couldn't find anything on the aftermath of emps working on spells and such. I'm not sure it does but i just heard it from a couple ppl but i might be getting whooshed can i get some clarification? thanks ; ;

(Disregard I have seemed to answer my own question, I guess its because i'm Sandorian Aligned currently but did missions as Windy that i keep losing my medal)
Guess this is still a valid question, Do i still lose 2 ranks switching back to windurst?

[Isiolia]

Anybody know why my medal keeps ranking down even though I have completed at journey's end and have a zodiac ring ?

Are you allied with Windurst? I recall an LS member having the same problem (albeit at a lower rank), and thought it might be a per-nation deal, which would explain it in his case at least.

Any use for KJ in or outside abyssea?

Well you should better direct your statements. You said nothing about the individual until now. You said PvP was stupid. The guy, however, is a moron. I'd have had no complaints to that statement, had it been made.

While I'd imagine Ukko's renders it completely moot, compared to RR, KJ has a better STR mod (50% over 35%), and a multiplier that goes up a little with more TP (1.5 at 300%), making it a better WS for use under Mighty Strikes.

Also lets you SC Light with GAxe, without a relic, for whatever that's worth.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Beats RR with Mighty Strikes if you don't have an Ukko's GAX. Pretty sure it still loses to Ukko's.

Its a bug they have not fixed. The "east" in the first message should be replaced with a parameter to indicate the required direction. When you get into the actual message the correct direction is shown in the menu. When they first came out both directions were hard-coded as east and it was guesswork to get a good result on refueling/upgrading a martello

Is Jailer of Hope soloable at 90? and I guess Jailer of Temp while I'm on... Have well equipped Kannagi nin, but also dnc, thf, mnk, cor, rng tho I dont think they'd be as good for solo

[Colenzo]

Don't think you could solo temperance but probably definitely hope.

[Mikus]

How do I get rid of the nasty lag whenever passing a crag, cav. maw, synergy pots, etc. Just came back and forgot what effects/options to turn on/off for best performance
