Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

[Koyangi]

Can 4 95 BST (only 1 will actually have any "good" gear), no pdt axes on any of them, NN, capped BST merits for timers, affinity etc, 1 95THF for TH mainly, and 1 75WHM kill Kirin, 2 people controlling all 6? Thanks.

Which skills should I level for Synergy? Feed Fewell and what else?

feed fewell> safety lever > repair furnace

I'm next on relic on my static and I myself have a few question, would be nice if anyone can answer them.

1) Is excalibur 95 any good atm compared to almace ?

I have an ochain but not aegis, I'll eventually do aegis someday, but I just don't want to do it first unless excal is just useless, I only use paladin for VW t3 and trio the new HKCNM.

Is the ws still THAT bad even with the ws boost ? what kind of number should I expect on thing that matter ?

also does the add effect proc 5 or 10% of the time ? Is there any difference on that at 95 ?

2) Is yoichinuyumi any good for samurai now ? I remember it being awesome at 75, but game changed so much now there ain't such thing as bird merit camp or a new hard einherjar event so I have no idea how usefull it would be.

Also how good/bad is it compared to gun now for rng ?

lsmate of mine recently finished excal to 95 after having almace for awhile. He basically says that excal blows almace out of the water, but he's mostly in abyssea, not high tier VW, so take that with a grain of salt.

Sounds doable. Minis go down fast but the 2hrs could hurt you. I recently watched garuda tank/hold kirin pretty damn well since alot of it's dmg is wind so I'd imagine dipper could too. Yeah I know you said NN but still. Think it on average lasted 1 min each. Sometimes went down faster from deadly hold spam sometimes it just spammed wind so garuda could almost heal itself back as fast lol

Hard part I'd thing would be actually controlling all them effectively enough to do the job. Recently did it with a miss mash and yeah at first it was me on nin and the thf and blu taking the minis with blu just stunning and we'd get tp skillchain and overkill them so eventually was just me and the blu and we still had plenty of waiting time on next spawns even on a genbu that got 2hr off.

Kirin 2hr still hurts alot so gotta be pretty careful when you lower it's hp.

[Yugl]

Should be more effective when used during VW than Abyssea.

I'd be shocked if 4 pets + THF couldn't kill Kirin before adds popped, especially if BSTs engaged after Astral Flow.

Thanks, I think I'll make excalibur since I don't intend to get almace past 85-90 if I ever bother with it anyway, if you get any ws damage sample on vw or if he ever try it on vw or something, would be cool if you let me know ^^

Thought the 3 replies were for thf daggers not dancer, or I just missed them too ><

They were, my bad. They were worded similarly and it was 3AM :<

[Counterfeit]

Do any other xbox users freeze up a lot during VW or is it just me

[Ricekid]

Any plugins out there for pet tp that is working now?

[Kaisha]

Am I right in assuming logging off after popping a VNM prevents your KI from upgrading?

Trying to make these weapon trials less painful, and using my mule to keep a T2 would be dandy if that works.

It upgrades upon death, if you're not in the area, logged out for example, it won't upgrade, correct.

I'm kinda torn on how I should dynafarm:
Char A: top tier thf, high tier dnc
Char B: top tier whm, low/mid tier thf (no TH sash available)
Char C: high tier rdm / whm / blm, top tier mnk (vere), high tier war (maschu+2)
mostly debating on if I should go without SJ on dnc, and hope TH2 is sufficient for whm/thf

last time I went I only managed to pull in about 100 currency, but I dealt with lots of comp and lost 35 min looking for TE's. I went thf/nin whm/rdm war/sam, basically spammed proc on thf, then when I got proc, war went in and killed mob while I looked to proc another. I feel that could have been done much more efficiently.

B has dnc unlocked, but I never bothered leveling it. I guess I should push that up to 95 asap, or unlock it on C and push that to 95 (or both), and the decision wont be difficult at all.


but with whats available above, is whm/thf TH2 sufficient enough to go dnc without SJ for chance at white proc, or should I play it safe thf whm DD?

[dasva]

What is this TH sash for thf you are talking about? Only th sash I heard of is Tarutaru sash...

[NynJa]

Thought it was obvious enough I meant the character didnt have a TH sash to use as whm/thf...

[shen]

I may have better luck in the Dynamis thread but thought it would be more appropriate to post this here first. I'm a little behind on the Neo Dyna info >.>

Okay so 1.) Can the zone boss (both NQ and/or HQ) drop 100 pieces and 2.) can dual-job NMs (for example, an NM that is both BRD and MNK) be procced and, if so, which proc takes priority?

[Soho]

Since we seem to be rolling with Random Dynamis Questions:
If I was going to solo farm Currency as DNC in CoP zones (no dual box, straight solo)... Which sub would you say is smartest?
/THF, /SAM, /WAR, /NIN?

[nikia]

Are there any updated Dynamis map .DATs floating around anywhere? For that matter any detailed updated map dats?
Thanks for the help.

thf/dnc thf/dnc mage(/dnc) for your first few runs to get used to it, can probably drop the mage for war or mnk on staggered mobs after you're comfortable.

Edit: B /war if no /dnc available

Does hope torque serve a purpose on NIN anymore? I have a rancor collar.
