Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

[Pendulum]

what're two good swords for a blu that aren't from magian?

Unless something was added last week, Isador and Mageblade are ok.

[Tortalius]

one other question: Spellcast thinks that wild carrot and mandibular bite are /pet moves. how do I teach it otherwise?

[Chun Liroy]

put in /ma "wild carrot" instead of //wild carrot?

[Phoenyx]

How much Stp is needed for a 6/5 hit with masamune? And what are the good builds for both?

6-hit: 51 Store TP
5-hit: 81 Store TP
This is total, i.e. gear and trait(merits).

You should be able to get a 6-hit without even tryin', really. 5-hit is possible while still maintaining a high level of haste. [ulr=http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/163764]This set[/url] has 82 Store TP and 24% haste. You'll still need to WS in a fair amount of Store TP gear, I think, but there's likely some adjustments that can be made to minimize that.

[Tortalius]

that doesn't work because then I get an error /pet "Wild Carrot"

Even when I type /magic "Wild Carrot" in the chat bar.

[Greatguardian]

Spellcast's Resources have Mandibular Bite and Wild Carrot in both Spells.xml as blue magic and Abils.xml as /pet commands. I'm not sure if this has been addressed/fixed or not though. Are you using the latest version of Spellcast? I think 2.44 is out now.

[Tortalius]

was using spellcastlite, but i guess i'll just use the regular one. I assume that will run my super basic equip swap scripts without a problem.

Any bees that con over EP outside of Abyssea @90, or I am fucked?

[Chun Liroy]

Wespe in uggalepih I'm pretty sure, if not there's higher bees down there also I'm pretty sure. Edit; bees in Wajoam

[Byrthnoth]

There are T Bees in the basement of CN. Some of the lower level bees are EP. If you need to do WSs vs. Bees, Demonic Tiphia is hard to beat.

[Kosh]

Anyone know the .dat for cavernous maws for abyssea zones? Tried 3-4 different ones and none of them seem right.

Yama's staff +2 with Magic damage+X enhance damage from drain?

While I don't own one, im going to guess no since it was shown before that MAB had no affect on drain or aspir, only dark magic skill and macc and I assume the affinity dmg should be about the same as MAB.

[Innuendo]

does th increase the drop rate of coins of normal mobs in WoE?

I've never noticed that it does.

[Deader2818]

I made Armageddon for Corsair but going to take my RNG back up as well. I assume that its worth using the gun on Ranger or would it be it be better to still use bow/another weapon? (Not including empy bow, im aware that is the best possible damage for RNG).

If so, would I basically use the same atma set up for ranger?

[Nightfyre]

While I don't own one, im going to guess no since it was shown before that MAB had no affect on drain or aspir, only dark magic skill and macc and I assume the affinity dmg should be about the same as MAB.

Potency has always affected Drain/Aspir. While Yama's is a different term than Pluto's Staff, I see no good reason why it wouldn't be the same way. You could easily test this with Atma of the Cosmos.

[Deader2818]

Hmm, swear I saw testing on here before that mab had no roll in drain/aspir.

[Byrthnoth]

MAB doesn't, Potency (Elemental Affinity or Staff Bonus) does.

[Deader2818]

Ah right, was refering to mab the same as potency, sorry, lol. Wasnt sure if affinity worked as potency or mab.

Having some connection issues on PS2, log in isn't Authenticating DNAS data. Eventually comes up with POL-1556 (Network Error -500) Network is busy or there are connection problems. Verify cables etc. Having no problems with any other devices on the network. Cycled power etc. Is anyone else having issues like that today?

Edit: Could someone verify that they can or can not log in on PS2? Friend mentioned it could be a sony issue.

[arus2001]

Leveled BRD some recently, and while there may be some equipment carry over here and there from other jobs, I'm pretty noob about its needs. In general, I'm thinking I'd want pieces for faster casting of songs, improving their durations, and I guess accuracy for the offensive stuff. While power searching for some of that is easy enough, is there anything on possible augments floating around that I'd wanna look into? I won't be dumping ACP/MKE/ASA rewards into it, so those are out.
