Voidwatch Discussion

[Shiyo]

Does SE actually consider people mercing gear a problem? A problem that needs attention and fixed? If so, they should spend less time on caring about WORTHLESS THINGS and focus on important things that matter and don't make the game less fun.

If they did this cause of gear mercing, it's just going to make gil even more useless than it already is.

The GM I spoke to said as long as there is a clear agreement between both parties mercing gear is completely fine.

So no, they shouldn't care really.

I'm just going to put my testing there. I'll try to nail down an exact crit rate boost from it using the 100% test. ~300 hits, remove a merit, ~300 hits, remove a merit, should go pretty fast.

You're a god among men, Byrth.

:3 Done!

Best Crit WS neck always? Best TP neck when you can afford to take +10% damage?

[Prothescar]

Looks like it'd be the best TP neck piece for almost any melee job (besides MNK?). I'm kinda iffy 'cause of the +10% damage taken though, that can get to be pretty significant over time. :X

[Byrthnoth]

It sucks against things like tonberries <,<; They had three moves that would kill me almost instantly (Grudge, Throat Stab, and DEF down--), haha. I was lucky that I killed most pulls without letting them get TP.

[macross]

Lame, I just paid 6k and cleared my hate the other day lol. Oh well, will aoe more to get another good dark ring/refresh pin.

Pfft, you have no sense of fashion.

awesome? u decide. Its fucking ugly to me and the lolglow is only that 2 small "eye" (thats the brightest it can get)

[Byrthnoth]

That's pretty ugly. You're a native american stripper.

Voidwatch isn't ALL lost if you're not really concerned about getting drops fast.

when the version update with level cap raise comes and you don't wanna go through Abyssea server, you can always use Voidwatch as a slightly slower alternative with 2% awesome drops on the side and cruor accumulation.

I find I end up going negative in the cruor bonus since I always 3x Cobalt/Rubicant cells on NMs that don't drop shit, and every other time my LS is doing something I don't need drops/KIs on, I always have a stupid stone or two on me which I'd rather not waste on just XP (uselesss to me) and cruor.


Granted I guess I could always just eat it and then buy a couple voiddust off AH afterwards.

[Spira]

well, if you do like 6 cells per fight then yea i can see how you'd run into a shortfall of sorts..
but usually you don't really want anything from most NMs, and really dont need to waste cells on them.

I'd never waste cells if i'm doing T1-2s... T3s depends on the NM (whether it has good gil drops lol) tho honestly, almost every time I got a unique drop it was from NMs that I didn't trade a single cell to, so its still really luck based if you cap. IF you want to go for more chances, you should really go for Cobalt instead of Rubicant at all, because rare items can still drop with 100% light, but you will only get 1 item if you're at base blue.

I'm thinking statistical probability is like..
red: base 1% drop rate, 500% light pushes it to 5%.
If cap by stagger only, 350%, 3.5%

blue: cap = 6 items would be like 1% x6 = 6% (stats people please correct me if im wrong)
if stagger only, 4 items = 4%

and if you do both with items, 30%
both without, 14%

dunno what i'm trying to say lol, but perhaps probability increase isn't necessarily worth it if you need your cruor for other things and don't mind spamming again and again and a relatively similar droprate.

[Arthars]

drops are always the first item in box...that makes me wonder if we need blue at all

dropped 2 voidwrought body...

and 1 went to someone who already got it

fuuu SE

You got 2 HQ body off the same Voidwrought?

[Arthars]

yea max % in all 3 battles

and the last voidwrought dropped 1 mantle to our PLD, and 2 bodies....1 to a whm and 1 to someone that already got the body ._.

[ronin sparthos]

A glimmer of hope. I was under the impression only one HQ body could load if it loaded at all.

Good to know.

[Arthars]

1 of them didnt use any cells too cos she already got the body

yet she still got it @350% . So yea, its entirely luck based

[Byrthnoth]

If anyone has the Fast Cast body, they could test it like this:
- Body only, no other gear, not RDM main or sub, access to Reraise -
Go to Abyssea, Reraise up, get killed
Cast Reraise with the body on, look at your recast. (120 base)
Go put on Atma of the Tusked Terror, Ambition, or Lightning Beast (one of them).
Cast Reraise and with the body and Atma on and look at the recast again.

My money is on 5%, which would make it:
117 with just Body and weakness
114 with Body, 1 Atma, and Weakness
