Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

What are sippoys spawn conditions?

[Manque]

I'm after THF AF hands +1 from Limbus...

I know it might take awhile to get lucky on drops, but is there a way to do this solo or duo? Assuming 0 upgrade items to start.

Thank you for your time.

What are sippoys spawn conditions?

He and the caturae in Abys-Valkurm are linked, so when one is up, the other is not (and vice-versa)

[Manque]

Sippoy:

"Roams among the Speltercaps at (E-7). Spawns at 3:00 Vana'diel time." Plus what Churchill said above ^^;

Also, if you are interested to know this is easily duo'd.

I did it on THF with my WHM alt. Atma's were Cloak and Dagger, Future Fabulous, and RR.

Super easy.

Just leveld NIN to 90. Couple questions:

1) Standard merits for t1/t2?
2) What's the best main hand katana until i get Kannagi?
3) Blade: Jin set?

1) Group 1: Subtle Blow 5/5 + Whatever you like. Group 2: I unlocked the :San spells and put the rest into Ninja Tool Expertise. None are particularly amazing.
2) STR path magian? I'm using a Uzura+2 w/ Store TP+15 on it until I can get an 85 Kannagi.
3) The old thread an this in it. I can't find it atm though.

Where is the link on the windower website? The only one I found had (OUTDATED) in brackets and didnt work. Thanks for the help.

I updated mine after seeing this. http://wiki.windower.net/resources.xml Seems to have most/all the newer JAs/spells.

Has anyone found out what triggers the latent on Flock Earring?

[Churchill]

Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior unlocks latent iirc

Interesting, never knew this.

[Churchill]

I pretty much fabricated the whole thing so if that is actually correct I may get into the prophesier business.

but srs Sippoy is like 20m and Kutherai is 30-60m, but their spawn conditions used to be dependant on other stuff in the zone (iirc like, killing all Jalas at once or whatever)

[Fievel]

Rofl, just reread that and noticed it says abys-valkurm. Or were you refering to mis? Fuck it I need a nap.

Feel dumb now

Thanks..I wasn't exactly sure if this was correct because my friend kept harassing me about it not spawning at 3:00 and just being a 15 min repop x_X

Wiki is also a waterfall of misinformation, it makes some NM's sound like PW + AV combined, yet they hit me for like 3 damage and never get past my shadows. It listed this one NM's move doing "upwards of 1.9k damage", never did more than 300 damage to me in 10 kills. Almost every NM i read with insane horror stories end up being something you can kill while being afk...then NM's with no info at all are retarded as hell and annoying.

[Churchill]

Nah, was sort of an inside troll I did to this guy back before Scars even came out

Edit: Holy shit is there even a reason to have a job besides SAM outside Abys now?

What part of sea/sky?

From start, how far could you go up before you hit trouble as a drg/whm

[Michelob]

As for the earring , doesn't that depends on the person's build as you could get regain +1 instead of tp bonus +25. I am guessing if you make the 5/6 hit complete that would beat the tp bonus you are getting.

The difference between 100 and 125 TP on critical WS should outweigh any advantage you are gaining from TPing in the regain earring IF (very large if here) the crit rate scales between 100/200/300 instead of anchoring at those points. If you are currently using a build that hinges on the regain earring I'm willing to bet that you can make other sacrifices for your x-hit build in order to not rely on the regain and parse better on average overall (once again, if the 25 TP bonus is realized at 125 Tp etc). Hence the big question which seems to be untested at this point.

From personal experience recently sippoy is not simply 15-20 min respawn. I went to bed after waiting 30 minutes when lsmates were going to wait for 03:00 as it said on wiki. I have no clue if it actually popped at 3 or not.

You could probably complete the whole zilart mission line if you do the individual Ark Angel fights instead of divine might. The final fight may be a bit too much though, I don't know. CoP you would likely hit a halt at tenzen which is easy enough to just grab another solid DD to plow through it. The rest of the missions probably won't pose much of a challenge.

The last 3 times I've killed Sippoy/Yaanei they always spawned at the time wiki listed (3:00/15:00).

[Chun Liroy]

Gonna piggyback this, anyone got some torcleaver shots? Or know where I could find some.

Anyone?

[cdgreg]

Anyone?

sorry what do you mean by shots? Pictures? Not wooshing or anything like that, my lsmate uses drk quite a bit with torcleaver.

How annoying is Diabolos for dyna-tav clear at 90 and how many people would it take? We should have 7-8 people with a couple emps (masa or ukon, armageddon or cala, 2x rhong, almace) what could a good setup be?

i went with 7(tho i think we started the run with 9) people, (blade hi, KC+yoichi(me), and i think a gjalla maybe? unsure on that as i dont really remeber well) we managed to spawn 3/4 of the dialbolo's(mineaswell poppped all 4 ;x), i even d/c'd during the diabolos's fight and they said they didnt have any trouble, i dont think anyone even died. so id say youll have no problem mix and matching up any of the jobs u said there~
