Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Tahona]

thanks a lot, which leads to what do you think a reasonable price to offer for peoples orange abyssites would be?

[dasva]

So when they fixed the whole too high damage displaying thing did they actually fix it or just set it to 99999?

[Deader2818]

id guess set it to 99,999.

Not like anything is going to do that much damage again id assume.

Aeolian Edging...not brewed

Martial/Fusetto+2 (TP Bonus)/Raider(cant change it)/empty
Maat's Cap/Gorget/Hecate's/Moldavite
Loki's/AF3+2/Demon's/Rajas
Assassin's/Soil/Denali/Lithe Boots

Atmas: Gales & Ultimate & BayingMoon (no Pandy)/Hateful Stream if Windaday


Is there a stronger setup (excluding certain gear changes), or is this tops?

For Haidate jobs:
[There's a possibility that 15 dex (Haidate) will beat out 3 dex and 3 MAB (Denali), it's worth a test (I lost my info, but I remember one MAB related to 3~4 dex)]

You're a thief, but I want to leave the haidate comment here for ninjas make an aeolian set (what I base mine around). Head piece goes to Chimera Hairpin, no contest. Since tp bonus doesn't apply to the offhand, I'd recommend just mainhanding Fusetto and offhanding kris or some other form of oat.

Atmas... obviously baying moon is where you have to make your decision. It depends, if you want the ability to fight like normal RR is actually not a bad choice. I used to use this set when doing tunga.

[Clash Perez]

Near someone cleaving detectors, by chance?

[Gippo]

yes , whats up??

[Aihree]

Something about cleaving detectors causes ffxi client crash sometimes.

Not 100% - and usually once they crash it's stable for a while afterwards.

Inside abyssea is Iga Erimaki worth using over Agasaya's for TP?

Maybe?

Any good spots with EP-ish non-casters for trials 162(demons) and 1205(arcana)? Been cleaving on my blu, and casters would make things troublesome.

I think general opinion is that yes, Nin neck is better than Agasaya's. I use it (career nin) but I haven't done any real testing on it.

Gargouille in Vunkerl and Detectors in Mis Coast or Altepa.

Generally yes. Agasaya's might have a small edge on high level/def Heroes NMs.

Tauri are excellent in vunkerl, if those are camped then gargouilles (can) work but are a pain.

[NotGreyheim]

Thanks for the quick replies!

Tauri or Gargouilles in Aby-Vunk/Ulle are the only non-casting Demons. Sphereoids in Aby-Misa/Altep would work, or Snolls in Vunk for Arcana.

Fusetto TP bonus applies to offhand, the source was Byrthnoth, so I'd take it as credible. I was unaware of Chimera Pin though, thanks for the heads up.

Well, if you notice, Spheroids don't die the same way other mobs do. They just kinda disappear like they have no death animation, and it always seems to cause some kinda strange lag. I have no doubt that if SE added a death animation for them, this wouldn't happen.

[msthief]

Would you mind linking me to whatever that said fusetto tp bonus applies to offhand? Every source I've heard of has said tp bonuses don't apply to offhand, so I'd like to see some evidence (it could change things for me).
