Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Radec]

I think I use Lone wolf/smouldering sky and ultimate

Id think get Smouldering sky at least.

Does Griffon claw even work on Armageddon or does having a staff on count as 2 handed?

Mainhand Staff applies GC Bonus to ranged WS.

So out of the blue and because the new attachments drop from Ob anyone have some updated info on Pankration? Trying to figure the best way to build up jettons...

If you're just doing Ob, grab any lvl_low plate and lose in diabolos cage for 100jetton/fight. If it caps out (jettons drop after lvl45 or so), get a new level_low plate and do it again. If you're going to do a *lot* more zeni, like.. 300-400k worth, then can worry about getting a plate that can win. With Nauls, using 2x NQ Trapper + 1x HQ for 72 shots (avg 65 success) I spend 516 Jettons for 6500+ zeni.

Does Migawari's activation % apply to post-PDT/MDT damage or prior?

What job do you go to take pics, Radec?

[Radec]

DNC/BLM (Siren Shadow, Cloak+Dagger, Mounted Champion) + RDM/BLM (Mini, Rescuer, Mounted Champion)

Daggers down to ~5%, 1 dagger down to 1%, then Disengage and Terra's (Total 38% PDT)+ Fan Dance + Phal2 so I get hit for 0 as much as possible, so it doesn't get TP up to terror me.

Champ takes care of cures entirely, rdm only needs to cast phal2, even if it does back to back Dragon Breath. /blm is to warp after, since I'm lazy. If you have Whitegate Earrings could /whatever for more defense.

Camera Macro:

Spoiler: show

alias nqon input /equip ammo "Blank Soul Plate"; input /equip range "Soultrapper"; 
alias nq input /equip ammo "Blank Soul Plate"; input /item "Soultrapper" <bt>;
alias hqon input /equip ammo "Blank Soul Plate"; input /equip range "Soultrapper 2000"; 
alias hq input /equip ammo "Blank Soul Plate"; input /item "Soultrapper 2000" <bt>;

alias camcycle nq; wait 3; hqon; wait 14; hq; wait 34; hq; wait 3; nqon; wait 14;
alias camdump camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;camcycle;end;

sc disable range
sc disable ammo

alias end echo completed;

Start with NQ Trapper + NQ Plates equipped and ready.
//camdump on both characters at the same time to start.
If I get terrored for a cycle, I manually change end to do another cycle (alias end camcycle; echo completed)

Edit: The RDM isn't needed if you're a solo person, just bank Finishing Moves to reverse > waltz between the 2 HQ trapper shots if getting hurt badly. Changing Camera sadly resets your TP, so high NFR is nice, otherwise need to turn > engage > step it a few times.

Do you level them up to max beforehand for the extra HP, or just take pics of them as EP?

[Botosi]

Are the best Anwig Salade augments: DEX+4 Increases Critical Hit Damage (+2%) and AGI+4 Increases weapon skill damage (+2%) for Blade: Hi?

[Radec]

EP. Takes about 17mins to take the pictures, and I usually want to get back to town on the same day. Best I've ever got was 108/plate when I accidentally killed 4 from DA/TA's and had to pull a repop, usually is 103-105, so the difference isn't huge.

[Pendulum]

I do it same way as Radec and its definitely as quick as it gets.

[Deader2818]

Relics got a boost to their WS at 90 right? And if they did, how much of a boost was it?

[Fievel]

25%

[Deader2818]

Is it damage or like, a boost to the mod?

[Neisan]

Straight Damage boost I believe, as if it had WS DMG+25%, but for that WS only.

[Fievel]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc it's a 25% damage boost to the WS.

Pretty sure this is correct.

edit: Re:Wildfire, I use Ultimate/Smoldering/Sea Daughter nonbrew, can replace sea daughter with lone or PW if you want, Smoldering/Wolf/Griff Claw brewed.

[Chun Liroy]

Did SE nerf GoV? I have my mule at the book in bost. but she isn't getting exp nor credit for kills. She's within range (<20 yalms) I'm getting hit messages and even death messages but no credit for kills. What gives. Is there a level 10 minimum or something?

[Atoreis]

I think it was always a lvl 10 minimum.

[Zetanio]

Thief's Knife -
Does it need to be in main hand for TH+1 effect or whatever?

[Deadgye]

Both hands work.

[Deader2818]

Are any PW drops worthwhile anymore?

I'd pay a mil for the atma!
