Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

The cap will go up...

So other than the upcoming 95 cap, no reason to?
I might just go 2/5 and put the 3 points elsewhere and then switch them when the cap comes.

[Gokulo]

I don't think it was confirmed the cap will go up? Or I'm forgetting something

We're supposed to be getting 95 and eventually 99.
But most of their plans have been delayed by at least a month, thus far.

I thought he was talking about merits cap? Or am I getting confused.

So what's the deal with all the new high level monsters in the WoTG areas? I was running through Vunkerl (S) and I came across some crabs called "Duriumshells" that checked Tough to a level 90 character. I've noticed this in every WoTG zone I've been in, new high level mobs, I don't remember this being mentioned in the update notes, anyone heard anything?

That happened some time ago already I think. They add high level monsters to old areas after raising the level cap.

You have to manually download the updated resources.xml from the widower site. //updateresources doesn't work.

so i need to open the xml, then copy/paste from the resources/xml thats online?

Cape Teriggan is what I did for my mule. Valkurm -> Gustav -> Teriggan. Kill goblins throughout Cape.

Group 1
5/5 reward recast
5/5 call beast recast

Group 2
5/5 Feral Howl
5/5 Beast Affinity

I did Pet Healer instead of Feral Howl. Tried Howl, found it to have low acc, so swapped it out; and unless things have changed and I'm behind the times, it's unknown how to increase it's accuracy, or what effects it.

Gandiva RNG /ra set? I was thinking 5 hit w/ /NIN mainly?
Something like:

mekki shakki/rose/gandiva/ammo
af3+2/???/volley/???
af3+2/af3+2/???/rajas
AF3 cape/???/AF3+2/scout's socks

This is for outside abyssea; inside would drop the staff/grip for crit dmg. yahtahgan, or are they better outside too?

[Esvedium]

With the spaghetti code change that seems to cap mobs that are "immune" to a specific type of damage at ~87.5%, can the NMs that you need to kill in This ASA quest be killed by any damage-types?

You also need to change the version # in the .ver file that's in your plugins folder.

And why would I pay 500k when I could get a testimony in <30 minutes. I can't make 500k in 30 minutes.

Because gil is worthless and we are all lazy as shit.

Draylo, I was looking at your solo Plucking Wings video and there is a break between you running and you getting up after resting. I assume that was a wipe > RR moment, but I don't get why they would be coming after you while you're resting unless you actually just ran really far and rested while the NM was on you. Also, 2hr+I wing needed or just for security?
