Random Question Thread XXI: You're Not My Random Question Thread Dad

[Jem]

I've had a VNM do that in the past outside of Abyssea. I think it was Capricornus. And I think we used an AoE attack which made it blink in.

I think VNMs in general are screwy though. A few weeks back I was popping T1's in Konsc and I was getting the pop message but then they instantly despawned.

[Darkmagi]

Had that happen on a Brulo, was fucking pissed.

[Vinedrai]

is it possible to get a seal from dominion ops with full inv as long as you have some of that seal with you like in normal quests?

[Ocara]

Another Q:
How bad is Titlacauan? 2x tanks, whm, and grellow proc?

I did fine mnk + blm + whm. Sometimes its spammy with charm, just have whm or blm sleep tank and mages kite around the rock nearby for 60 seconds. Can even proc grellow during this time if the whm has hate. Stun death after memento mori, keep barfira up for hadal (it can do around 2k), and keep mages 20'+ for silence seal.

Yes. This is kind of weird, but I have definitely gotten a seal that I already have in my inventory while it was full. It seems like you can force it to give seals you want, and if you "get" a seal you don't have, but your inventory is full (it doesn't say it/complain about full inventory) then it seems like it wont use up your one seal per day. If you try to force just 1 type of seal though you may go a few days without seeing anything if the npc is being stingy. Narrowing down seals I want to like 5~6ish different seals has given me moderate success, but there's still time when I can go a few days without getting any seals.

The real question is why is your inventory full? 240 mobile storage, plus safe/storage/locker/moogles..and you're still full? :O

Why isn't yours?

[Byrthnoth]

Has anyone noticed an increase Roundel drop rate? I think I was about 25% on Roundels in the past (three rounds?), but I'm doing pretty well this time <_<

New account with one job that isn't even 90 yet?

[Esvedium]

Don't cheat!

I thought it was "CHEATERS OUT!"

But really, just don't be stupid about it.

I hear Ridill drops more often now too!

[Byrthnoth]

5 Roundels in 7 runs solo. I know I'm probably just getting lucky, but there are a ton on AH too and I kinda suspected a lot of people wouldn't be able to do the BC.

GM tag can stay on at all times. JA0Wait you might want to not use when in parties. Speed hacking is great for running to shit that takes forever (for example getting maws in the past if you've never done it on a character). It has a feature to disable it when near people, and keep it running otherwise. You just need to NOT use speed/pos around people (and otherwise be invisible if you have to be near people).

One thing I'd like to recommend with the GM tag, even though the person with the original question won't return to check on this, is to turn it off when pulling a massive number of mobs to burn.

I had been jailed once when I chained everything in Giddeus while waiting on an NM to pop for a ToTM trial. I had quite literally the whole zone and all of the mobs got piled on top of me so hard that I couldn't even engage them.

Or you can just keep it on and when they jail you and say that they "detected" you using third party software just say, "WHAT!?! I'm not cheating, I'm just lagging really bad!!"

[Nishida]

"All the yagudos caused me to lag across the screen at warp speed!"

A few random questions...

Can Magical WS's crit if you have magic crit rate + gear on? Thinking of cata'ing and the like.

I'm getting -2sec waltz on Salade for the uniqueness. Would a second augment of dex/crit damage or agi/ws damage be better for :Hi, or would Aias bonnet beat just one of those augments, or some other head? Basically, what head is best for :Hi if -2sec waltz is locked in to salade?

[Byrthnoth]

Nope! They also can't proc on quickdraws.

[Esvedium]

Nope! They also can't proc on quickdraws.

Didn't think so, but someone brought it up in LS a few days back, thought I'd ask.

New account with one job that isn't even 90 yet?

If only we were all playing new accounts that didn't even have a level 90 job yet.

Oh, right, we're not.

I had 5 level 75 jobs with appropriate gear sets on my old account and still had inventory space. And I wasn't fully maxed out on inventory upgrades for mog safe/storage and didn't have a mog sack. Meh..this isn't really an argument I was genuinely curious.
