Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

[cdgreg]

Leveled WAR on my mule for the sole purpose of fell cleaving and will normally be dual boxing whm + war. What atmas should I be using on the war?

[Byrthnoth]

If you don't want to get him all boss clears/etc, VV, Stout Arm, and Harvester are nice easy cleaving Atma.

Beastmaster question!

I need to kill 600 Undead with Axes. I have level 90 BST and 4/5 Empyrean +2 (feet +1) and many many toys but 0 pet PDT gear. How do I beastmaster? What jug should I use and where should I go? Bonus points if the zone has thunder weather.

[TheDirtyHobo]

I'm no BST but, assuming you're doing DA axe, a friend of mine did it in abyssea attohwa on the hounds since they're weak to slashing. Not absolutely sure what pet he used, but I'm assuming Nazuna.

[Kamil]

Do I have to do Campaign Battles to advance in medals? Or can I just keep doing Campaign ops?

[Obsidian]

Good quest to spam in Ulegurand to get fame to level 3? Let there be Light looks pretty simple and can give seals I need, but would a different one get me to level 3 faster? About how many times would I have to do it?

AFAIK theres never been a firm test done what lets you advance. I myself have noticed that ranking up is easier with more notes, which ops give easier than battles. I've never tried to rank up purely out of ops though. Myself I think its Notes + a certain # of battles per rank, as sometimes I've not been able to rank up after doing lot of battles until I've spammed ops to get a bunch of notes and others I haven't been able to rank up until I do a few more battles, even if they're short ones.

TL;DR - shits random, spam ops each week then check the NPC after each battle.

I know prices vary per server, but what is roughly the average going rate for BB items with the new update?

[Cyprias]

Anyone have an idea of where all the additional Grounds Tomes are for each zone? They were supposedly added in the last version update, but I can't seem to find extra's other than the one at the beginning of the zone.

Bump for curiosity (Wasn't answered).

EDIT: I realize some zones are listed in the wiki, but say for Garlaige, Fei'yin, or Eldieme?

There's a Grounds Tome at the Exit to Beaucedine Glacier, and a second one near the entrance to the Cloister of Frost in Fei'Yin. For Eldieme, I don't remember exactly, I think there's one at the Hume Bones entrance and there's one underground at approximately K-7/L-7, it's right before a drop off which is right before the 90+ mobs. You can target the Tome from either underneath the drop or above (its a short one) and it's located fairly close to the coffer mobs, so there's that. In Toraimarai Canal, the only Tomes I found were at the zone to Horutoto Ruins and another at Windurst Walls.

Those are like, the only zones I found/bothered to find multiple Tomes in.

Awesome, thank you. I'll keep these all in mind then.

[Eldelphia]

I am just rejoining the game after a long haitus, obv 75 still and my account is pretty much stripped. I think I'll take bard to 90 first. What is some cheap AH gear to use and should I just try jumping into Abyssea asap and getting shit done?

AF+1 is still useful. Teal body and then just jump straight into Empyrean AF. I'd work on the EAF asap.

[Fereydoon]

Assuming no Homam and Dusk +1 are non existent, what feet should I be tping in on BLU?

[Neisan]

Unless you have Setanta's Ledelsens (highly unlikely and it's still same haste) I'd stick to NQ dusk if acc is capped. Can still cap haste with haste+2 feet on blu assuming emp+2/NQ dusk hands/Twilight Belt either by using Zelus overcapping you, or using Tiercel Neck.

Sorry I should have been more clear. He has all atmas for the most part barring savior. RR, apoc, whatever.

So it becomes Zelus VS. Emp or Tiercel VS. Uhh, Fortitude Torque?

[Neisan]

Depends if the accuracy matters or not at that point, for some reason I thought Emp head+2 had attack on it greater than +7 and not sword skill.

Ok, need a bit of help here. I am stuck at the Tahrongi Canyon Maw. I started to get a CS, and it just went black. Oddest part is I got the CS so I can warp to the maw yesterday. Logged out and back in 3 times and restarted.
Had a friend call a GM for me, and they said they can't warp me out of a CS because it may damage character data, so I should call the service and support in the morning.
Well I have a feeling they wont do shit, so I am looking for other ideas please.

If you have any good enough friends, have them log in as you as hit X through the cutscene. Other than that, try to do a POL file check.

What are the best atmas for RDM?

[Neisan]

What are the best atmas for RDM?

Melee - RR/Apoc/Alpha/Omega
Nuking - MM/Beyond/Ultimate
Brew with Aeolian - Gales/Smiting/Ultimate
Brew with Sanguine Blade - Cosmos/Banisher/Ultimate
Brew with Flash Nova - Beyond/Sellsword/Ultimate
Main Healing - MM/Harmony and/or Rescuer

Apoc when lazy about dying alot and not meleeing, some others can be situational etc.
