Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

[Mojo]

This was posted early in the thread about mnk:



And that was before crit damage was uncapped.

I'm not satisfied with the way people model stuff with spreadsheets, honestly. I haven't reviewed exactly in what way they were comparing the two, I'd be happy to look it over though. I'm going by numbers I came up with.

Most sheets for situation more advanced then WS are fairly misleading. They assuming you WS at 100TP always, you never turn, you never need evasion/mdt/pdt/resist, you have no pause between mobs, you never afk, you never got hit(xhits), you doesn't retaliate etc.

[Innuendo]

I've read posts by people who dualbox on one machine saying both that they can run two (three, four, fifteen) game instances at once without any problems, and that any instances beyond the first lag horribly. I'm assuming this is due to hardware. Basically, how good does your computer need to be to dualbox smoothly?

Mobs normally found in Aht Urghan that have "mode changes" (Qutrub, Imps, Wamouracampa) don't have those same mode changes inside Abyssea. If you're trying to learn Frenetic Rip, Cannonball or Spinal Cleave, you gotta do it outside Abyssea.

The imps in Vunkerl will use Frenetic Rip. I haven't seen the wamouracampa in attohwa use cannonball though.

I'm sure its been asked before but best advice for skilling up elemental and enfeebling 200+ on a cleaved rdm or blm?

[Byrthnoth]

For enfeebling, set up a script in sea and cast Blind, Paralyze, Slow, etc. over and over on a Hpemde. That'll get you to 200+ at least.

Elemental magic . . . well, you just need to spam it.

[Gustave]

I'm already 200+ in each skill. I was going to run the script in sea but I thought I wouldn't go any higher than I already am.

1. Chainspell stone / dia in besieged. Use bio after dia to overwrite and also skillup dark magic.
2. Use Revitalizer.
3. Repeat
4. ???
5. Profit

Assuming besieged still happens on a regular basis.

You can spam dia to skill doesn't require bio.

@Gustave Sea Om'hpemde can get RDM Enfee over 300

I wasn't sure. I noticed less skills if I didn't overwrite, but it was probably me just being a derp. That said pairing it with bio gets dark magic up and you will consistently be casting (otherwise waiting on dia timer).

Well Dia doesn't even overwrite bio (dia II does) and there is no such thing like recast on dia with RDM ^^.

Yeah, it's early. I was referring to when Chainspell wore off, haha. Plus I was pairing it with bio because I wanted to level dark magic. As for the overwrite..I'm a derp and wasn't thinking about that. I'm likely just remembering incorrectly. It still stands though that CS+revitalizer in besieged is some pretty fast skilling up.

[Kaisha]

Assuming you've already done it before on another nation it drops you right into the battle.

Even then, I did it yesterday for my mule which it was the first time, and it skipped right into battle, where-as my main got the usual "Skip Cutscene?" prompt.


I guess I'll file this under "Useless shit players don't care about" beside the "Bumpmap lighting in Raguemont Pass still fucked".



Speaking of bumpmaps...., it wouldn't kill SE to fix the day/night transition for people who have it on. Really distracting seeing the world transition from day-to-night in a single second once the game timer hits 18:00.

[Gustave]

Oh I love besieged skill ups if I'm lucky enough to catch one. It was amazing skilling up enhancing on the generals. I'll try to catch one.

@ Atories, that's awesome if I can skill enfeebling to 300+ in sea.

Looking for MNK related reading, the stuff on wiki are way out-of-date. Good blogs, LJ's, etc... (Genome's is the only one I know so far.)
How often can Guard proc?

Also if someone could share their gear sets for MNK90. Not a single .xml on windower's spellcast section.

Im not saying with chainspell. Dia has 5 sec recast. Rdm can get it to 1-2 sec. There is a small pause after you cast so practically you have Dia ready to cast as soon as you can.

I've been wanting the same. ZAM/Wiki/KI/FFXIAH all are pretty barren/outdated/useless. I've been mostly asking as many questions as possible here on BG. I've got some decent gear sets down..still would like to know more though..

Gear sets so far: http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Quetzal...hida#item-sets
I will add VS when I start working on the trials. I'm not even 90 yet so meh.

Yeah, I know. I just added that line in there for the hell of it. Mostly was promoting pairing it with dark magic skillups. :3

Lol...
I found it really funny that your gif-sig(on the left) is perfect answer for your question
