Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

[Fottiti]

Looking to get an shinai for red procs on war. I know nothing of adventuring fellows, I just have a signal pearl from unlocking it and have never touched it since.

What would be the fastest/easiest way of getting the 15000 fellow points for shinai.

Wivre Hairpins with Refresh augment in Kon(tab) Highlands? Maxed Amber, 15ish amber, does it matter?

[Beave]

Yeah if you begin a Steam installation it will kill off your original FFXI installation and be unusable. I think your original User folder would still be intact.

My guide from last time this came up:

You're a life saver.

Sorry, that is to give your -fellow- the shinai. Not you.

I've seen people claim they got one with only a few lights. I got mine after 3 days of catacleaving, so my amber was capped out. Smaller boxes will have 2 augmented items in them, while large boxes will (usually?) only have 1 with higher quality augments. You'll want lots of amber if you want good Dark Ring augments (I never saw any lower than -3% PDT/MDT with capped amber).

RDM doesn't get any of those spells.

/whm gets Holy mate.

I was thinking of coming back and making a new account. I haven't played since the end of WotG. What can I expect? What melee class would you recommend for soloing? I was thinking of leveling BLM or RDM to 18, WHM to 37, then DRG using WHM sub after words. I have no clue how relevant any of this is, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Odin'sLaw]

started leveling rng for fun (and since +2 items are easy when your churning out emp's) what would be the best over all atma's to use? (thinking mostly tping)

/whm gets Holy mate.

Unless your main job is 100, you won't get holy as /whm.

5-hit build when using footwork

Used to be good, is no longer good. Use normal h2h.

Thanks for info on WHM merits.

Looking for a good WAR xml off of which to base my own, any suggestions?

WoTG ended last update. But DRG is good for soloing. Only you could just get jobs to 30 and then leech in abyssea.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Ah ok, well I stoped playing 3 years ago and just figured WotG was ending soon haha. Thanks, luckily I have some old friends who still play so maybe I can have some luck in Abyssea. When I stopped playing, WAR and SAM were pretty much king, while MNK was good for off-tanking and THF and DRG were sort of novelty. What's the current "tier" for physical DD?

[Atoreis]

I'm sure you meant 22% but anyway. There's more to whm than just curing. I was referring to reducing the recast of light-based non-cure spell. I have a macc Surya's Staff +2 and a cure potency Surya's Staff +1. No reason you can't do this.

Of course, it's useful for other jobs too, but whm sticks out the most.

Oh I see what you mean by the 2% now, but the point stands that you can reach 50% cure potency in many other ways.

Am I missing something? Those staffs aren't rare so you can have both +2?
You didn't make +2 because of macro? I think for WHM you can easily keep macc on satchel and just put it on if you need it. I am more then sure that its manageable.

Thorny: MNK>WAR>NIN>SAM (and it was always like this not just now)
Arthars: NIN=WAR>MNK>SAM
Massimo: WAR >> MNK > NIN
Failure: SAM > all (outside abyssea!)
Draylo: BLU > all


[/humor]

It all depends on buffs, your reaction, you tanking or not, what mob you fight etc.

Wow weird. My bad. Coulda sworn it was 45.

[Martinius]

I wanna get Surya staff on RDM for when Cure 5 comes out for them but 150 Beast Kills with light damage seems hard, Banish damage sucks.

rdm/whm, go to bibiki bay and park your ass at G/H-8 where there are several gobs, one of which is a bst. blizzard 3 or 4 (i don't remember, it's been a while) takes the rabbit to about 8%, then banishga II > dead honkey. took me about 4-5 hours, not all in one sitting, to get it done.

What is the difference between Evasion and Evasion Skill?
