Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[transmit]

Did I imagine some windower plugin (or other app) where as long as your BLU spells were in the right location you could use shortcuts to equip entire blue spell set ups at once?

Edit - Also while I'm at it. Does BLU's Delta Thrust plague proc on NMs? and does it need to be under Chain Affinity for the plague effect?

I don't know if it works on all NMs, I'm pretty sure it works on some though. It is on every cast, not under chain affinity. Works amazingly well for farming chests, I can kill Sapplings on blu without ever seeing them WS for hours.

Question of my own, I'm leveling synergy atm and am only interested in augmenting gear. What synergy skills should I upgrade?

fewell feed > safety lever > repair furnace. Make fisherman's cuffs, they have hidden effect precision thwack.

[Squabble]

Torcleaver atma's? I assume RR/Apoc, but what should the third be?

[Squabble]

A decent spot to skill up ranged attack after burning cor to 75?

You should be ok to skill up in Boyhada with /DNC on the crabs, even easier at Lv.90.

Edit: this is assuming your skill is like 150+, otherwise just hit lower level areas like Crawlers' Nest until then.

What's the damage formula for Scholar's helix spells?

[LucyGoose]

Plan is to farm Glavoids KIs at lunch on a VERY laggy network =( .

2 ppl. What would be two best jobs to do this on? (survivability especially with pancake network I will be on at work)

Today we are trying NIN/DNC and WAR/WHM. But I am wondering what ws WHM/WAR would be missing out on. Id feel better with a WHM when I will be on NIN with some lag.

[Byrthnoth]

You miss out on Raiden Thrust, Shadow of Death, and Freezebite regardless what the WHM subs. Have them sub BLM if you're also going to kill Glavoid in the same trip, and have the NIN sub THF.

Can Cursed Mufflers be tier 1d?

Wiki lists the goldsmithing sub as unknown, but the gold ingredient is brass, which caps pretty low. I would be surprised if it WASN'T tier 1. Synth involving two crafts have a slightly reduced he rate (personal feeling), but a run of twelve should see one hq. Normal bad luck can apply of course.

You can get raiden thrust anything/war

Whm/War will have raiden thrust with pitchfork. Sadly SE hasn't made an event scythe or an event great sword yet. D:

Have 8M crour to burn and figured I'd use some of it on Apademaks. However, I'm a little concerned about 2boxing dhorme. Don't really mind potential shadow of death/freezebite procs as making 2M is faster for me then rounding up a 3rd person most of the time. Can this be handled nin/war + whm/blm 2 box?

Also, concerning chainspell, will I need to have a fool's drink/powder on hand? If so are there any mobs who drop them 100% or do I have to farm gold chests in between kills?

[LidenbokValour]

Basically I have decided to get cooking 100 after being 80 for about 3 or 4 years, now Temple of Uggalepih is completely deserted I thought I would try my luck and camp Sozu Sarberry for the Katana, fuck paying 3.5m for it.

Both Wiki's say nothing about respawn timers once it dies, does that mean it doesn't have one? I can start killing PHs straight away?

NIN+WHM can duo him very easily nothing to be concerned with.

[Taint]

Can Cursed Mufflers be tier 1d?

With 60 Gold sub they are definitely Tier1.

[Kidnoftle]

Still utilize terrain advantage though. I have actually wiped a couple times because I got cocky (starfox) and ate fulm > chainspell (just @ pop spot). Otherwise, yeah easy, no need for meds really.

What's the damage formula for Scholar's helix spells?

The same as elemental nukes. They have no multiplier like higher tier nukes (all helix have the same base damage as Aero 1) and INT is generally more effective than MAB from what I've seen messing around with my setup. It's probably been calculated somewhere for a better explanation.

I'm doing a cw burn pt atm and couple of my members only getting liek 3-6k/pull. Were pulling 20-25 mobs at a time for 450 xp a kill. They should be getting close to 9k instead there getting 3-6k. Its like there not getting credit for all the kills... any ideas?

Just checked mules xp... killed 22 of them, went from 30,137 to 34,263 @ 473 xp/kill

Second check: 23 mobs, 496 xp/kill: Went from 37,813 -> 32,155 :/

I remember a while ago someone saying that killing more than 10 mobs you were only given exp from 10 of the mobs if they are all killed at the same time. (Could be wrong though)

EDIT: When farming cruor do you do azure->pearl->ruby? or do you just do ruby, i've asked people how they do it when they farm cruor and a few of them say they don't farm time, so just curious for the best way to do it. Also, does anyone know some of the better camps for this?
