Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

2 questions:

Is there anything online like the old bestiary.ffxi-atlas.com? When it existed you could do a very specific set of searches looking for mobs to kill, but it seems like the whole site hasn't been updated since early 2010. I'm power leveling/skilling up bullshit on Warrior and it would be nice to find stuff thats in the 'higher' decent challenge window since i'm trying to do 5+ weapons types at once. I've poked around the wiki's and allah, the most you can really do is search for zones and make note of the levels of mobs being sought.

Question 2: Does slow on gear affect ranged attack speed? Someone said to me recently that haste doesn't, and neither should slow and I'll be damned if I know anything about RNG/COR

Nope. It doesnt affect it.

Where is a good space to solo SCH from 21-30? With the new level increases to some mobs and the rearrangement I have no idea where a good place to xp is anymore.

Qufim worms or EP mandys in bubu doing pages, got 10k an hour around 20ish there but it was with a melee job.

Looking for High-DC to 90? A lot of the new grounds of valor stuff is in the right range, and speeds up PL lowbies immensely - alt getting 2.6k/hour from xp, 20k/hour from pages. See http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Grounds_Tome

Far as I know though, there is no site to search based on mob level like atlas could.

@ dontkare Dunes or buburimu. Or Yughott Grott, it wasn't affected by the update, nothing in there is over 25.

@ Radec - WAR is 63 right now, I'm eating my way through DC/EP mobs to get everything to 200, I just want the skills to be as high as possible for when it goes back into abyssea and I have to take time to skill that shit up.

Twilight Mail and Hat, the set bonus is Auto-RR3

Assuming I'm just pissing around on one of the classes that can wear it, and I full time it, am I gauranteed RR3 per death? Or is there some sort of internal cooldown before it'll activate again? I can't find any specific info on wiki and tried my best to search here =p

Because I had this plan to maybe obtain/buy them and then go explore/do dangerous stuff in places I would've not been able to at 75 xD

I know it's probably been asked a hundred times, but that's what RQT is for!

Can a proc be reset just from the mob going Yellow but without losing all hate? Did Turul duo and got Blue proc and the one time he did Reaving Wind, he went yellow for about 10 seconds. He never stopped chasing us though. We killed him and got only a Jewel. I know it's very possible for it to just be shitty luck, and Blue isn't 100% and all that jazz, but we've been having some oddities with Turul procs lately, and I want to be sure if our proc reset or not so we know for the future.

On a side note, we aggroed Turul before Blunt hour came up once but didn't Claim thinking that only the claim set the proc. We proceeded to claim him around ~22:10 and the proc was fucking Katana. Is this a change from the old system? Something with just Turul? Or is like that with all mobs and always has been?

Sorry for noob question but Synergy cap is now 80 or 90?

ive had plenty of nms go white and still get proc items (atma, KI, more than 2 upgrades, etc), its when they drop hate completely that procs dissapear.

just bad luck.

Idle is required for resetting weakness/claim for KI. Agroing is decides the weakness, not claim.

Solace gives +5 MDB. Bliaud+2 increases the bonus to +10 MDB, so effectively does exactly the same as the Blessed Briault, you'll just be getting a higher % chance of set bonus proc.

As for barspells I'll usually just go 5/5 for the % chance of 0 damage. You don't start seeing consistent resists til 200+ on most NMs anyway so the difference between 133 and 155 barspells (with +1 relic) won't be noticeable. Barspells are generally used more for the shitload of MDB bonus WHM gets than the actual chance of resisting spells.

If we're fighting particular NMs such as Tunga/Dragua/Isgebind where I can use a resist+100 atma then I'll use cleric's+1 to bring me up to 255 resist. This is usually high enough to resist 95% of enfeebling spells and get resists on most nukes.

Even our DDs have used resist atmas on mobs like Dragua and Isgebind in place of their 'weakest' DD atma. With Dragua you're pretty much immune to slowga and it makes Isgebind's paralyze aura noticeably less harsh.

Don't think I've seen any of the new beastman head pieces. Logically it would be a rare drop from the 3 nation zones' HQ bosses from Dynamis but tbh you would have expected to see at least one of them by now.

Not gonna lie. Even when it's been called in LS chat to use those Atmas, I just went for the DD Atmas anyway!

Didn't look hard enough?

Actual item you use doesn't matter because you want to fail the synth so you always get the ingredients back. "Easiest" items are just using your crafting apron (if you have one) up to the 40-whatever cap, then look at the different alchemy leaf synths to 70. I think 4 platinum leaves + some vitrol will take you to 70, can probably just start with that synth instead of the apron.

It's 80.

**Draylo** · 2011-05-20 09:20

Woops I did miss those, thanks lol.

Demonry Ring. Any idea of the 'Increases "Triple Attack" Damage' ?
