Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Fievel]

Has anyone gone after the Vougier's Contus? My group has 4 kills with blue proc and th(varied 6-8) and has yet to see one. Anyone else have experiences with this drop?

I got several while working on +2 gear months ago.

Just having a little bad luck, keep at it.

Check Wiki, dont be lazy!

EDIT: must be worn whole time - in case you are lazy ^^

Well other wiki doesn't mention it and BG wiki has that whole needs verification deal so I was just double checking.

Now that I'm interested in lvl'ing some jobs for myself and others - what is the camp people use for Bostaunieaux? I assume H-10? just sneak the low lvl, and have them locked on menu?

do tonberry kills inside aby count towards tonberry hate?

Looking for a decent GoV for lvl 27 to solo or duo that doesn't make me run halfway across the zone for the targets.

Not sure on position, but just sneak, stay locked on book, and do leeches. It's not the book at the entrance, it's the one in that circular room near the south-ish.

Fanatic's blocks all TP moves iirc, regardless of damage type.

Not exactly. There are essentially two types of TP moves, phys-magical and magical. Fanatics will block all phys-magical, but not magical. Most NM TP moves aren't actually classified as "magic damage" even if shell will reduce them, but there are a few that only Fool's will block. I can't even think of them right now, to be honest. For general purposes, if you want to block a TP move, use Fanatics.

And the next two kills dropped. Just bad luck as you said. We also obtained a pair of cesti from the pretty pony after 3 kills.

DNC T2 merits? PUP and BLU merits? Never looked into these at all.

As for DNC, I'm mostly curious as to how useful NFR is with the introduction of Presto. Should I be full meriting it, if so why? Is Closed Position actually helpful? I have Twashtar and never go anywhere without my WHM mule, if that changes anything.
PUP I'm not familiar with at all, I just leveled it to put merits somewhere and because it could use Verethragna, but I'll probably not touch it. I just want appropriate merits on the chance I do.
Same for BLU as for PUP (except with Almace).

Can't speak for DNC or PUP, but personally for BLU I did 5/5 Chain Affinity Recast and Physical Potency for T1 (I use CA a lot, dunno how good Magic Accuracy merits would be instead) with 5/5 Assimilation, 4/5 Enchainment, and 1/5 Diffusion. (I use Diffusion on occasion, but not very often.)

If anyone wants to nitpick my choices though, feel free.

DNC 5/5 reverse flourish and haste samba are undisputed. I really see no reason to merit NFR to 5/5. Even with Twashtar you can self chain and use climacti flourish with 3/5. So wouldn't go higher than 3/5. Saber dance isn't as effective above 1/5 either.
BLU 5/5 Physical and CA. 5/5 Assimilation and Enchainment.
PUP 5/5 Ranged and Magic. 5/5 Optimisation, 3/5 Fine tuning, 1/5 role reversal and ventriloquy.

[Nightfyre]

DNC: 1 saber 1 fan, rest as you see fit; personally I don't care for more than 2/5 NFR now so I threw the rest in Closed Position.
BLU: 5 CA recast is great with Almace, PP merits are a good option since spell sets aren't normally too heavy on acc even accounting for the innate acc bonus on (some) spells. Macc merits also an option, I'm 5/5 CA and 5/5 PP right now. 5 Assimilation, unlock Convergence and/or Diffusion if you think they'll benefit you, put the rest in Enchainment.

[Draylo]

BURST AFFINITY MERITS, jk I'm 5/5 CA 5/5 Macc (might be swapping to Phy acc for voidwatch). 5/5 assimilation, 1/5 Diffusion, 1/5 convergence, 3/5 enchainment
