Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

Any way to make a macro to trade 3 items to a ??? at once? aka to spam spawn amarok with one macro rather than having to hit trade and put in all 3 items?

[Septimus]

Fistule and Chloris say hi!

Fistule is kind of bullshit because there is only one copy of the mob. I don't know about other servers but it is constantly camped normally with competition on Bahamut.

Not a hard NM, just hard to get.

Not without a 3rd party app

[dasva]

Doesn't speed it up much but you can hit trade ahead of time and then just keep f8ing till it pops. Not much but sometimes that's all it takes to beat the competetion

What should my merits look like for COR? 5 qd recast, 5 qd acc, 5 snake eye, 4 fold, 1 loaded deck?

I don't think QD acc is needed at all. I did 5 QD recast, 5 phantom roll recast. 1 Snake eye, 5 winning streak and 4 fold. Winning streak with AF+2 hands gives like 7:20 phantom roll time, I love it personally lol. I haven't played it much, but I think this is optimal build, but then again it's only a mule. I don't use snake eye unless it's a 10 roll. Random deal is hardly used in my experiences and it's not even close to warranting any type of merits. Once you get an 11, just keep them coming and there's no real need for it.

Following up on this, I merited COR quite a long time ago, pretty much back at the 75 cap:
COR:
Group 1 - 5/5 phantom roll recast/QD recast
Group 2 - 5/5 snake eye, 1/5 fold, 3/5 winning streak, 1/5 loaded deck

I loved having short roll recasts and long ass rolls. Iused snake eye to get closer to 11, or often to get off unlucky #s without busting. Cor merits really are how you play the job, some swear by 5/5 fold, while others will never risk a bust, upto you.

Saw a while back someone say they duo'ed Kirin MNK/WHM. Any strat? Or just all out zerg?

[TybudX]

They said Hundred Fists was used, but not needed. I would imagine just mdt/pdt as needed and pour on the damage.

[Saka]

Any way to distinguish Mimics from real chests? I've heard it could be possible time ago, and it could be handy in SW Apollyon.

[BahamutRicker]

Currently working on Ukon.

Is the 5 hit setup the best? or does it sacrifice too much and the 6 hit is comparable?

I have the very first campaign medal, but will get to work on rose strap if it is a better build.

Thanks

[Rune]

Sorry, I keep thinking Iga+2 feet is 5% haste cus +1 is 4%.

Wut?

[Gustave]

Is Holy mind based? I've through in what I normally have on me in a sc set but I wanted to double check.

[Kurp]

I didn't play during WotG, so I have no Campaign experience. Is ~5600 XP and ~2800 notes normal for a battle in Ronfaure? I was on Scholar and cured a ridiculous amount of HP with Accession. Do higher level zones offer more XP or notes? I'm shooting for the Rose Strap and want to make the the time spent doing Campaign as low as possible.

Also, I've been reading some campaign articles, but haven't been able to find how you join an union/faction to loot the chests after a victory.

[Gokulo]

You join the union by talking to the same NPC you talk to start Campaing.

The amount was increased an update or two ago. Probably just doubled or something.

Depending on the length of the battle, that's not bad. Sadly the worst thing about Rose strap is the 5 day waiting period on evaluations. You should be able to get enough notes for a medal upgrade in a couple of hours, but you still have to wait 5 days between evals. I wouldn't spend a lot of consecutive time in campaign battles, just get enough for your upgrade and then wait for your eval to come up.

You can join unions after you get tags. Same NPC will offer the option to join a union once you have received tags. Think the option is just below the temp items option.

Nope. Mimics are the same model as the Items Chest in Limbus. There is no difference until they're triggered.

[Gustave]

Have someone stand outside of draw in range with a dart. Pop chest on one character, throw dart on other character outside of draw in range, move to next chest. Be sure to stay outside of draw in after.

[Byrthnoth]

With Subtle Blow, they get at most one Death Trap off per Mimic. Kill them for the coins.

Yes, but assuming you're just talking about damage, you should be adding more MAB than MND wherever the tradeoff ratio is decent (Eradico Mitts, Searing Cape, Novio/Hecate's/Moldavite, Witchstone, etc.), especially if you're subbing SCH which has no MAB trait.

Edit: Clearly I assumed that you were talking about WHM, but same goes for PLD wherever you can get some MAB. Novio/Hecate's/Moldavite are all jobs, etc.
