Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

[Gokulo]

DNC merits for someone who probably won't be playing the job a whole hell of a lot?

Haste/Reverse max in T1, T2 something like 5CP, 2NFR and what you want between Fan and Sword.

[DNAval]

For someone who has done low man or dual box, and has both Ukon and Vere -
Which path took the longest?, and I don't mean the fights themselves but the Ki NM's

[Fievel]

Depends on if you're buying all of your pop items or not. They both have the issue of time pop mobs as well. Glavoid having two, Chloris having one, then both attowah ones having one.

If you buy the pop items, I'd have to say vere is the quicker one.

[buddyslack]

I've never cleared my tonberry hate, what are the chances mine is capped for rancor?
If I do have to farm them for hate, about how many will I need to kill and do they have to get exp?

To go from 1000 gil to clear hate to cap, took me 5 runs from hate clearing run, up to the hocho nm room and back killing all tonberrys on the way

[Churchill]

Glavoid would be faster if not buying, even with two timed spawns. (Then just brew glav). Even better if you farm them at the same time - should be able to farm 90% of x number of popsets in about 3h (x being the number of people you have out there holding that shit)

Neither took longer than the other, you should be brewing all your KIs.

[Taint]

This is right for 6 hit that turns to 4 hit with Zanhasso proc right? I'm still unclear on if I need 5/5 Store TP to make that work properly.

You'll need 4 more stp either from 2 Merits or swapping gear around. 4/5 Iki to shave a hit.

[Bootykilla]

Anyone have problem with Autoexec where it wont activate certain event lines?

[Gustave]

Anyone have Info on slippery sucker or which one is his PH?

Err shoulda searched first, someone asked this 3 days ago.

[Draylo]

What to do for Synergy skill ups 70 to 80? I don't have the things to make stalls.

[clobetasol]

Beast merits t1/t2?

[RitzCracker]

Could have sworn Slippery Sucker's PH was a one of the two gigas' in the general area. I stood there for approximately 8 hours assuming it was a timed spawn according to OtherWiki's page (back then it did not even list PHs, just random people with their testimonials of killing it already up). No one else was there doing trials at the time, but after I got fed up, I went back as /RNG and wrote down all the mobs that appeared on the list, and killing possible PHs. Here's the list:

Dancing Weapon

Clipper

Greater Pugil

I included ---'s to indicate whether you've gone too far down / up the wide scan list. The PH is the first gigas in the listing, but I could be wrong. You could just kill both, it's only two (or three if you count the BST's pet) mobs on a 5 minute timer. Slippery Sucker appears after the gigas group in wide scan.

Thanks this is the answer I was looking for, I forgot to mention that I've done 2 Ukons 1 mine 1 the wife, and forgot to add to my post that i'd be buying most of the pops for the Ki NM's

The gigas bst, second on the list, was up when I killed him about 40 mins ago. I'll see if the first one on the list is up next time I kill.

In POLUtils it looks like this
Glow Bat
Giant Ranger
Giant Ascetic
Giant Trapper
Gigas Leech
Giant Hunter
Giant Ranger
Giant Ascetic
Giant Trapper
Gigas's Leech
Giant Hunter
Wight
Wight
Light Ele
Slippery Sucker
Clipper™
Clipper™
Clipper™

I guess the 2 spawns rotate (ranger,ascetic,trapper,hunter) for both? I don't know how tell the difference between the 2 spawns. I guess I can rename the top 4 with a .

[Byrthnoth]

Monsters that change jobs are often PHs, in my experience. There has been only one time when I've been choosing between a "monster that changes job" and one that doesn't and had it not be the one that changes job.

[Chun Liroy]

I killed land worms only and it popped right away for me.

[Taint]

Yeah its the worms, just stand on the mound and kill any you can target from there. Fast trial.

[Spencerlutz]

Stupid question, but I just came back after a long break. Does blue magic skill effect learn rates on spells?

[Obsidian]

Neither took longer than the other, you should be brewing all your KIs.

If you brew Chloris...

I actually can't think of an analogy for this.

[Gokulo]

Malacite?
