Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

Does anyone have experience using UltimateGameCards for crysta? (I tried a forum search but it lagged out.)

Basically just got to walmart or gamestop, buy a 10 or 20 dollar card, then just log in to your square enix account management and enter the code on the back. Your payment must be set to crysta and it will give 2 options for payment, either paypal or ultimate pay. Pick ultimate pay and as you proceed you will get the Ultimate game card option.

How does Haste Samba work when dual wielding a Twilight Knife and another knife without an additional effect? The drain effects on twilight knife take priority, but you still see the samba animation on the hits with the other dagger.

[dasva]

It still works as long as the other knife actually hits

[Eldelphia]

No, but you can get crystals in Dynamis - Tav for some reason.

Yep, tons of em lol

For getting Mythic weapon WSes;

If I am on floor 95 right now, and get like 250 WS points, and then go up to floor 100, will the weaponskill be unlocked or do the points reset?

[dasva]

It will be unlocked

[Necromage]

It will be unlocked

ok thanks!

I've got 2 quick questions which might be a bit peculiar but bear with me:

1)Let's say I wanted to start thinking on farming dyna for currency either for selling or making a relic.I have my mule that could be coming but I don't have jobs right now like bst or pld.I have mainly available mnk, blu, blm, nin, sam, and could work on the others but might take time.Mule is whm(missing access to most of dyna but that takes like a day to fix), what you'd say would be the best way? I'd like to do it solo mostly because I'm not sure I want to commit on doing a relic and might just be for money or using time available for something more productive than being afk.

2)Synergy/crafting, I'm a total newb at crafting, think it's valuable to work on it in hopes of money in the future(or savin money on some synths since they come quite cheap to craft and expensive to buy when done), should I just check out something like gsmithing?

I know these questions are hard to answer, especially the crafting+gil one, also because people don't like to share the "money making" secrets but still I tried.I kinda feel dumb when I see people talking of making infinite relics or mythics and just buying shit for fun, makes me feel uneasy looking at my poorness that's why I'm thinking those 2.Btw i anyone is willing o thsare secrets I'm all-pm ears uh! XD not that I'd move from ragnarok to steal your market =P

Between Gun vs. Scythe/Dagger Gun will win. Aftermath is noticeable, especially when you pair a 300% with Triple Shot.

WoE version doesn't get aftermath. Wildfire is still great without aftermath though due to the vulcan's/fire shot/wildfire combo.

Is TP bonus+25 and Attack+4 a viable option on moonshade for Victory Smite?

[matix]

with spellcast, does status="voidwatcher" work? if not, any recommendations for what im trying to do?

[Yugl]

Voidwatcher should work. I haven't tested, but the icon name is within the resources XML, so it's highly unlikely that wouldn't work.

So, I recently started playing ff again, and im almost caught up with abyssea stuff, and now im wondering about other stuff, like the augmented weapons. I have smn,blm,rdm,nin 95, and im trying to figure out what staves I should get 1st. I tried looking up stuff with wiki, but theres like a million
pages and weapons and triala to go through
The jog I use the most is probably blm. And for thisnquestion im more or less ignorinf the empyrians

[dasva]

For blm make dmg versions of ice and thunder trial staffs at least. Rdm can use them too but cure staff is also good for it. Smn should make -perp trial staffs for garuda at least and whatever other avatars you plan on using and get soulscrouge. Nin should get kamome and evasion and/or att trial kat as well as a few other weapon types to proc if you plan on doing abyssea

NIN/DNC will be your best bet for job procing with a Whm mule. I don't know the best way to get dyna clears needed for your mule. Don't know if NIN or MNK+whm can kill all the bosses. Havn't done must of the bosses since the change. But I am willing to help with clears if I can.

From test server finding thread:

Testing from Tsuko:

"In regard to Decoy Shot, quick testing(more will be done later in the day) indicates that its a full CE transfer to the person between the target and the RNG. VE seems unaffected."

CE from just the WS or total CE?

This was never answered. I'm still curious.

How does STR magian sword and vorpal stack up vs. almace and CDC on PLD? It's looking like I'm going to complete my shield 2-3 weeks before I can do sword, and need a decent stand in.

[Yugl]

Is there a buff icon for ballista? Name?

CDC blows it out of the water inside, and is beating it outside (albeit by a smaller margin).

what about if i have thf too? would it be better to go thf/dnc for proc+th or just nin/dnc to be safer?
