Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[home]

In the Monday update, the notes say it's possible to turn in multiple battle trophies at once now. Does anyone know how? It gives me no prompt to do so, just the standard one from before the patch.

edit: ah nvm, its just exchanging.

[Manque]

I too, thought it would apply for receiving the armor as well... /sadface

Sadly not but its much, much easier to exchange trophies now.

Can Black Belt items be sent to alt characters?

My old character has a lot more KS than my new one.

Unless you already have items on the old toon how is this a problem?
1) Get old and new toons to the zone.
2) Get friends
3) Trade Orb to start BCNM
4) Let friends kill while you log new toon in to lot.

Hell even if you wanted to try to solo the KSNMs, follow step 1 and just get a single to person to sit in zone and quick log after popping the chest. You should be able to logout and back in within the 5 minute window.

Can the Black Belt? <.<

Yes the Black Belt can be sent.

For more experienced spellcast users than me:

have never had to worry about loosing the manawall bonus on BLM AF3+2 feet, as for all intents, I have fulltimed them. With gaining additional gear, this is no longer the case. I know it is possible to lock a piece of gear if conditions are met, but don't know the syntax, where it would go, etc (my experience with spellcast is using the templates and switching to my gearsets). If anyone could provide me with how to type this out, and where to put it, I'd be greatly appreciative of it.

This is the rule I use for blm feet:

<if mode="OR" buffactive="Mana wall" Spell="Mana Wall">
      <equip when="Precast|Midcast|Aftercast"><feet lock="t">Goetia Sabots +2</feet></equip>
</if>

Just slot it into the rules section in your spellcast, should work just fine.

Thanks for the fast response! Appreciate it.

Is it worth bothering to gear COR these days? Only QD and phantom rolling sets?

It's quite useful in voidwatch from what I understand, so getting actual gear sets may be beneficial if you do that, or plan to in the future.. Besides it's not like it takes more than a week to get near perfect gear sets.

You would need two others friends to wait in zone while you log in the other character. If you did just one, once you log out to switch, leaving your friend as only person in zone, the loot will start auto dropping to your friend.

Not if the friend has full inventory.

I know it's been posted before though I can't find it, but ideal Paladin CDC set?

Would it be wise to swap moonshade from counter/atk to tp bonus/atk? Mainly for blade:hi/smite.

From what I've been told tp bonus comes out to about 1% crit rate for hi/smite, if you want crit rate+1 it's easily obtained from earring augments in mis coast.

So meh, I'd stick with the counter/atk or regain/atk as they are not so easily replaced.

Was there any evidence to back this up? If there was a change at all from 25 TP from 100 that would indicate that the crit rate scales up with TP rather than anchors at particular rates for 100/200/300 TP (which I haven't seen proven one way or the other yet). Also, if the crit rate does scale, 1% crit rate seems far too low for 1/4 of the way TP-wise to next "tier" of critical damage.

Give me a minute I'll see what I can find.

This is where I first saw it

Looking over the thread though there really isn't any sort of proof whatsoever.

Edit: Double post! sorry!

[Michelob]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't base any decisions based on that seemingly baseless comment. If crit rate does scale linearly with TP rather than anchor at 100/200/300 TP you're looking at large gains in comparison to your typical +4 stat earring, especially when you are already stacking that stat to begin with.

[Fievel]

Well great thanks to this now I don't know which earring to pick again
