Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Okan]

i need to reformat my computer whats the best way to preserved all the updated files so i dont have to do the lengthy 9 hour update ?

I don't have the exact link at the moment, but someone has a link to all the updates in a torrent on BG somewhere. It downloaded in about 2 hours for me and I only needed a 15 minute update upon first launch. I'll update this once I find it.

Thanks a ton~

Anyone know whats the deal with LL working sometimes but not always? Does multiple POL instances throw it off?

[cdgreg]

I know the good dynamis camps are top secret for the most part, but I've been bored with the game lately and looking for something new to get into. If you prefer to PM (or email [email protected]) instead of replying here that works for me as well!

Anyone mind sharing good dual box camp/strategy for dynamis to farm coins/100s? I've read a decent amount in the neo-dyna thread but most successful groups seem to be groups of 4ish.
Character 1: WHM, RDM, BLM
Character 2: NIN, THF
Both characters are well geared on the listed jobs and have any SJ necessary. Ex. Char1 could WHM/THF or Char2 could THF/DNC, whatever.

Thanks in advance

Does this dagger:

work in offhand? I know the TP Bonus one does.

Your best bet will be NIN/DNC + WHM/THF. Enter whichever city has the most expensive currency on your server, get all the TEs, and then find a camp with NQ monsters you can proc and NMs nearby. When I go DNC/NIN, I like to use Aeolian Edge to proc several WS type monsters at once and then tends to determine my camp. I pull about 80 coins before potential 100s, and if you catch some zones empty you can get a lot of shots at 100s. I find they're about a 5% drop rate with TH2.

Out of the KI needed to pop Durinn (Chipped Imp's Olifant, Decayed Dvergr Tooth, Plusating Soulflayer Beard), Sedna (Glossy Sea Monk Sucker, Shimmering Pugil Scale) and Bukhis (Ossified Gargoille Hand, Ingrown Tarus Nail, Imbrued Vampyr fang), which ones DO NOT come out of gold box? I'm 99% sure the KI list on otherwiki is wrong.

[Dooom]

They all come from gold boxes now, was changed a few updates back.

[Julian]

The imp one doesn't. And I want to say the Dvergr one doesn't either. (Not 100% sure on this second one.)

All of Bukhis, all of Sedna, and the flayer beard do for sure.

[Toshiko]

pretty sure that Chipped Imp's Olifant & Decayed Dvergr Tooth don't come from gold boxes, since Durinn isn't used for empyrean items.

[Amok]

This is correct.

can't i just copy the files from my own current version? i would try it except my friend told me he tried it and it didnt work for him.

[Villian]

Anyone kind enough to give me the math for the tonberry hate for rancor collar? Currently at 1500 gil to reset hate and cap is 6k gil iirc? Thanks in advance~

[Shiyo]

It's 6k yes.

[Nightfyre]

I vaguely recall someone saying something about 300 TP Aftermath applying to WS. Now I don't know if this was Relic, Mythic or Empyrean Aftermath, nor do I know who said it. Though my gut says it was Byrth. Anyone...?

Mythic aftermaths apply to WS, OAT included.

Is there any logic to the skillchain system at all? I've been trying to think of a better way to present it than a large table and I'm coming up blank.

You can make 19 skillchains (15 level 1, 4 level 2) from level 1 properties, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what works vs. what doesn't.

Off topic sorry but You need to slow down with Mythic... It was suppose to be your long goal project and you will finish it in 1 month at this rate XD
