Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

[Atoreis]

Was there some test done for Carnwenhan 85 and 90? How much time it add and how it stacks with other BRD equip with increasing song duration? How it stacks with Troubadour?

[Robbinthehood]

How much STP do you need for a 5hit with Widowmaker?

[Kensagaku]

How would Ready for BST work in Spellcast? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to put my Ferine Mantle into Ready/Sic moves to ensure the acc boost augments pet TP moves. Usually main Atheling when I'm fighting non-NMs or weak NMs (melee build for BST versus a pet-focused build on NMs) so I'd like to be able to swap out as needed.

Would it be something like:

<if spell="Ready">
<action="equip" when="precast">
<back>Ferine Mantle</back>
</action>
</if>

Or would I have to do it individually for each separate pet TP move? Like I know I can macro each individually but would I have to for spellcast?

You lose any items you've turned into the crate already, but you get the +1 back unmarked.

Third time you've asked third time you've failed to mention which job you're posting for So I am going to assume its blu.

Outside
Sword/Sword/Thundersachet
Anwig(Aias outside)/Snowgorget/3DexEarring/Brutal
Loki's/Alcide+1/Jupiter's (with +6att)x2
Atheling/Cuchulains/TumblerTrunks/Alcide's+1

(if you don't need att swap alcide's for AF2+1 hands/Lithe boots/AF3+2 legs)

Epona's should beat Jupiter's and Rajas will beat Jupiter's outside (anywhere fSTR uncapped). May beat in overall damage due to sTP considerations but that's another discussion entirely.

Do Dhorme Khimaira and Apademak cast spells other than Thunder4/5 (Thundaga, Burst for example) on themselves to level up?

Thanks in advance.

Apademak will level up no matter what he casts; singletarget or otherwise.

Don't start a trial until you have all the pieces for this reason.

You get nothing but a little inventory space by turning them in ahead of time and possibly run into this. With so many new ways to have room I doubt your sitting on 80/80 in mog/locker/satchel/sack/inventory/storage and maxed out that moogle.

Totally forgot about epona >.<

Has anyone dropped their emote torque and tried to re-obtain them? I want to know for sure I can get them again in case SE does something crazy like make them upgradable to a higher level with better stats in the future. However, 20 torques takes up a bunch of room.

I never got an answer for this. Has anyone tried to verify if you can drop them and re-get the trial?

[Dathus]

With the supposed 15% damage to Drakesbane on the 90 Ryunohige, where exactly does that put it in accordance with other lances? I've got my Rhongomiant already, but still wondering if the grass is greener, etc.

@Mohit: I just went to Ru Lude myself and checked. You can re-obtain the base torque and re-complete the trial if you wish.

Since my return to the game 3 days ago, I've gotten several atmas. The thing is, since there are so many atmas, which are the ones I should prioritize first?

I have the following jobs:

DD: war, drk, thf, sam.
mage: rdm, blu.

PS: So far I have 2 lunar abyssites, have strout atmas, working on VV. I have no ideas for others.

[Gun-it]

Best gear pieces to npc for gil from cruor?

It (and the OAT50% from AM3 that can proc during WS) make it crap all over other lances.

Side-note, someone confirmed TP Bonus +100 offhands do affect mainhand weapons using Cloudsplitter and the TP Bonus +100 Axe.

If that's the case are there any 1 handed emp combos that subbing one of those would be best?

[Molamola]

Could someone help me build a good WS set for beast master with Farsha?

[Jeryhn]

Side-note, someone confirmed TP Bonus +100 offhands do affect mainhand weapons using Cloudsplitter and the TP Bonus +100 Axe.

Is this only true with the Magian TP bonus weapons or with the other TP Bonus weapons like Martial Sword, etc? If the latter, it seems like the martial weapons just got a whole lot more useful.

Also, do the weapons have to be of the same type (sword+sword, etc.)?

anyone know a good place to download FFXI soundtracks for free?

I just asked the moogle for a new torque (of one I dropped) and he gave it and started the trial. Not going to bother getting the farmed item again though.
