Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

[Phoenyx]

I'm assuming you meant faith torque? Thanks, any difference in that setup if I had +1 instead of +2? While I'm still obtaining +2 items etc.

Before gloves +2, Agasaya's is probably better for neck since Faith won't raise your damage tier. The rest will be the same.

[Fievel]

Faith by itself DOES break h2h tier with 8/8 merits, then af3+2 hands breaks another.

mnk h2h @ 90 - 361

With merits 377

377 * 0.11 = 41.47

Add in 7 from faith torque

384 * 0.11 = 42.24

Add in 7 from af3+2 gloves

391 * 0.11 = 43.01

About how long would it take to get the base weapon on average? Sorry for the basic questions, just came back to the game.

cant say for sure but if you did nin+whm duo and got the pops for the gimp gigas off ah, probably about 30 just to farm 2 full pops. took my mnk about 5 min to kill briar itself. of course it all depends on your luck, getting double helms, red procs etc.

The ~5 times i did this quest i would flag quest > run back to flux 8(?) > flux to 3 > get egg > sneak/invis/avoid nms and walk back to quest-giving frenchy. I never had it fail. Are you doing any other action after you've retrieved the egg?

I didn't do anything at all. I flagged the quest, ran to flux 8 > fluxed to 3 and got egg > sneak and invis and walked back to the quest giver. The last time I did the quest I just flagged it, ran all the way to 3 without fluxing and then ran all the way back. Didn't aggro anything at all and still failed.

hierarchy for nin tp bodies? I currently have loki's and koga chainmail available. Looking to re-equip the job but not sure what i should be shooting for in the body slot.

[Fievel]

iirc its lokis if delay reduction capped, and af1 body if not

I may be way off though, not a NIN.

Hence my "Before gloves +2" qualifier. Fereydoon's post indicated (to me, at least) that he had gloves +1. I was stating that if he had gloves +1 already that he might be better off with Agasaya's.

Mmm I see what you're saying now, misunderstood, sorry.

I was thinking he wasn't wearing +1/2 gloves at all for some reason.

Yeah, I'd have the +1 hands. So Agasaya's until +2 hands?

Weapon/Thew Bomblet
af3+1/Agasaya/Aesir/Brutal
af3+1/af3+1/Rajas/Eponas
Aethling/BB/af3+1/af3+1

about right? Upgrade to faith torque when I get +2 hands?

No worries. :D

RQ: Got WAR from lv39 to lv79 the other day. Will Perle get me by while I work on lv90 and EAF+1? Also, should I start Sumeru trials once I hit lv80 or is there a better middle-of-the-road GA to use. I doubt I'll be serious enough about WAR any time soon to work on Ukonvasara or Maschu, but don't mind the idea of a Magian GA if it's worth it.

Ninja (+1) > Iga +2 > Iga +1 > Loki's if delay reduction uncapped, drop AF body from the list if capped. Outside Abyssea, Iga +2 > Ninja > Iga +1 > Loki's. Iga obviously gains ground if you need acc, falls behind if pDIF capped.

I'm pretty sure Loki's will beat af3+1 when impetus down, other than that looks pretty solid.

and yeah upgrade to faith once you +2 hands.

Has anyone seen a rampart NM spawn in Bhaf Remnants recently? We're been doing 3rd+4th ramps regularly and haven't seen a single NM spawn in months. I'm know random shit is random and I don't have high hopes for a positive answer, but I'm starting to wonder if they might have broken something when they adjusted the drop rates...

[Fievel]

Honestly they've always been that bad.

[Xorn]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but what's the repop time on T3 abyssea VNMs?

[Gabai]

~15 minutes

If you want to skip trials altogether, get a Vermeil for 80-90, and then a Widowmaker, or at least Warlord's Axe.

[Xorn]

~15 minutes

for T3?

About 4-5 weeks ago we went in, got 3 pedo bees and 2 to put out Usu shoes.

I thought T3 abyssea vnm was 1 hour.

Alright then, I won't resort to twitter spam. Thanks!
