Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

For the cast time values listed on the wikis, are those pulled from the .dat files, or just 'estimated'? Doing some testing on Fast Cast, and getting some very peculiar (extremely consistent, but still peculiar) results.

nvm

[NynJa]

Except you mentioned sash on the combo which included whm + thf... why would you take a th3 whm when you have a th3-6 thf?

The same reason people say they use whm/thf instead of a thf main when both are available...?

ls mate found out the hard way you actually need to be rank 3 or higher to get the Void watch CS, adventuring certificate is not enough, so if you've changed nations you need to change back or complete rank 3 on the nation you've switched to.

Is it the general consensus that aern organs drop best off the higher-lvl ones over in the Garden?

Farmed organs for my Light Gorget (for Drakes/CDC) for an hour at upper Al'taieu, and got everything except 6 more aern organs, and they're being stubborn.

Anyone have any idea of pimped PUP potency at endgame stuff like VW?

Like how much nukes do? resists? DPS?
How much ratt do? misses? DPS?
Automaton dieing is any problem?
How much of a boost would be KKK for a pup at this point? Would it change situation a lot?

not sure if this was answered or not, anyway pup is a good job in there. if u know what u r doing it can do pretty nice dmg. auto shouldnt be a problem thanks to deus ex automata and repair(or even the new item to recover pet hp).
kkk would ofc make it much better dince they'll allow u to spam maneuvers no stop without any problem, so yeah should change the situation much more in your advantage. next time i'll go pup to VW i'll try to get some numbers

I just misread your post as 3 setup options, not 3 indidividual char options, my bad.

Proto-omega NIN and RDM or NIN and WHM is enough or should I add an extra person to back up tank?

I'd bring another person. Pile Pitch or Colossal Blow (whichever the hate reset one is) will probably make things messy. Also have gunpods to deal with, probably not worth potentially struggling to duo when you can easily trio it.

Pulled from the .dats.

Best way to low man this mission?

Exept from shouting i can be DNC and have a (WHM,RDM,BLM,SMN,BRD friend)

[Byrthnoth]

They have pretty low HP. Just go healer + DNC and use Aeolian Edge to pull them all onto you.

[Ratatapa]

K gonna try that

[Apelila]

I duo boxed that back at 75 on MNK with spinning attack I can't imagine its that hard now.

I used to find farming them inside the palace/garden faster.

So is there much in Voidwatch thats doable with 2-3 people? Haven't set foot in any of the zones yet. If so what kind of job combination?

Not really. I'm sure it's possible to clear t1s but what's the point if you can't proc. Procs= prizes. Find a few more people or join some shout runs.

I'm in Bostaunieux Oubliette leeching tabs, I'm standing around a group of people on the book, yet I'm the only one the mob aggros, they do not have sneak on and are lower level than I was, is there something about opening the book menu that avoids you from aggro?

[shamusde]

So like.

I'm trying to initiate Zilart Voidwatch, but Kieran is telling me that i look like Pugil bait. :<

Funny enough, my mule got the cutscene for it and got the Ashen Abyssite. I've done all the same things for my main as I have for my mule, so I am stumped.

What am I missing? D:

This happened to me as well. I had cells traded and lost the last VW fight I participated in. Soon after completing another VW fight, I went back to him and got the CS.

Anyone fought this guy recently? http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Lugh

He looks fun and the feet seem like they might be a nice TP piece for pup. Anyone have any idea how bad he was at 85-95? Thoughts?

Yes. Having the menu open freezes your buffs from wearing.

[Rehwyn]

Yes. Having the menu open freezes your buffs from wearing.

Which, in case it wasn't clear, is why you never saw them casting Sneak. Because they had it the whole time.
