Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Churchill]

It's 8 iirc, if you check your logs it'll only have data for 8 mobs, 8x473=3784.

[Aylee]

yep its 8 mobs >< any way a blue can get full credit for a 22 mob pull?

so i got 50 care gems/lanters and i dont know if to get GKT or GS. i have been gone last 2 months when SAM patch took place and didn't read any infos and opinion yet. is this job worth to invest efford now or should i just go for GS for my almace/ochain PLD? (sry for my english, hope its understandable at least). oh and mostly i care about outside abyss stuff if that matters

The best option would be to wait. Not that re-obtaining those items is hard, but it can be time consuming based on how many people are willing to help you. If you care about outside abyssea, then you need to wait for 99 and see what events are like and what jobs turn out strong again. Will SAM make a comeback? Will new DRK abilities/traits give it an unexpected boost? In the CURRENT game, the best use of gems/lanterns is for cor empy imo. But you specifically mentioned outside abyssea, which with the exception of voidwatch, doesn't exist atm.

Don't kill them all at once. Not being sarcastic, but that's the deal. The best part though is you can get a shitload of chests, even if you aren't getting all the exp. And honestly, who cares that much about exp at this point? A single Briarius kill is like 5500 exp...my group did 10 last night. Even if low-level leech are only getting exp for 8/22 in a pull, they are still getting 2-3 exp chest a pull, and at 475 exp/kill, it is 2x as much exp in a pt outside aby, and it's probably 2x as fast. Which mean they are getting like 6k a pull including chests, a minimum of once every...3 min, if you are slow or wait for full repop to be sure. It's still 100k/hour exp.

I don't think there's much doubt that if you are looking at GKT or GS, and don't have any preference job wise, that GKT has been and will always be one of/the best weapon in the game.

i was wondering what the optimal TP gear was for 90 nin

[Stanislaus]

Are there any yarnball like programs/plugins out there? I'm desperate, BRD is significantly less fun without it.

Do you get a higher proc rate if you have multiple items equipped that enhance killer effects, like killer shortbow and melaco mitts, for example.

I currently have a Keitonotachi +1 and a fairly fresh 90 Sam

Which version of the +2 should I go for?

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Anyone fought Lord Ruthven lately? Any specific job combo that can duo? have PLD/NIN/SAM to fight it, with all respective emp weapons.

TP Bonus, then Masamune.

I've taken to adding timers to my Spellcast files until the Windower guys get it updated, as far as I know that's your best option.

Any of those with a WHM should be fine honestly, just turn for the gaze based stuff (doom, terror).

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

Thanks for the reply. Do I need fishing skill to make those or can I find a friend with novice fishing skill?

[Classikmage]

Anyone happen to know if Stoneskin formula was changed on one of the version updates? Or if the formula on wiki still works, I was looking at it earlier, but something on the Discussion Page makes me think it might be out of date.

[Cairthenn]

It's the same.

If you ever thwack during Synergy you are doing it wrong.

[Villian]

Fastest/cheapest way to lv up synergy? Wiki confused me ~_~

[TacoTaru]

Anyone ever have this happen? Modded some mob names in POLUtils to test something, log in first account fine, go to log in second account and everything shows up like this:
http://mlkshk.com/r/686K

I deleted all the accounts off and readded them but when I click on it, sometimes it ask for member names, sometimes it doesn't and takes me start to where it should to log in, but won't accept my SEpassword. If I back out of trying to log in what appears under the account would be changes. Sometimes to guest, sometimes to nothing, sometimes to that and/or other kanji.
