Random Question Thread XXIII: Neun und Neunzig Luft RQs

[Lonewind]

I've made Anwig Salde from 75 days, of which I made STR+4 WSAcc+15 Acc+10 Atk+5
I wonder if that still holds for 95? or should I remake it.

Alright so I'm looking into doing salvage and maybe some einherjar.

1. I've heard that people can do salvage with as few as MNK/MNK/healing mage (and probably a thief)... but what does this actually mean? Does this mean completely clear the zone and get max alexandrite, or do you have to give up something to do it with only 3-4 people? Also, is this only for black belt, 5/5 +2, v-thagna monks or will gimps be able to perform well enough?

2. Is Odin possible with only a party of six these days? If not, how far can you get with a quality lowman group?

Do it everyday with DDx2 Healer, usually end with tons of time left clearing everything. Done it with Sam and Thf+Whm dual box and the only problem we've ever had with that was the Whm dual box running out of MP on the 4400 needles boss. Other than that never had problems doing salvage with 3 or 2.

[Innuendo]

Where's the easiest place to farm a whm testimony? I'm having a hell of a time finding an NM up that drops it, and don't want to pay 148k for a khazam access for a mule that might never go there again.

To expound somewhat, anything a good group could do at 75, a THF+healer can do now. Notable exceptions would be the discoid boss, and the 6th floor of arrapago. I haven't tried arrapago since we hit 95 though, maybe THF has enough firepower now (or if you have an actual RDM, or can dualbox well enough, the added damage might be enough to kill fast enough).

Yagudo High Priest in Castle Oztroja, very top area where the beastmen king NM spawns. 2 NM-caliber mobs, 24min respawn. wiki claims nearly 50% drop rate.

edit: wow, really late.

Is there a hard cap on Phalanx II reduction? If so, is it still 30 reduction?

[Dotsudoku]

Assuming Phalanx is uncapped at the moment, I can't see why Phalanx2 would be. Could be wrong, but I don't recall any mention of it.

It has lost quite a bit of its luster, though. Its significantly less helpful in Salvage at these levels, and the game's primary tank has it on their own now. Mileage may vary.

Another question about SAM 5-hit build with Masamune I don't play SAM much these days so I'd like to be sure. Since the base TP from Masamune is 11.1 TP you would need 81 Store TP to obtain 20 TP per hit for a 5-hit build. If you can obtain this without Store TP merits there's no reason to keep those merits and you could go for 5/5 Med/Zanshin, right?

Thanks!

You aren't going to be getting a 5-hit without STP merits. I believe it was mathed out a while ago that Zanshin merits could possibly out-due Meditate merits, but I do not remember the circumstances or anything. 5-hit is hard enough to get without sacrificing haste, att and such. Without STP merits it would be a nightmare.

THIS is the Zanshin build. 6-Hit that turns into a 4-Hit with a Zanshin Proc.

[Kurp]

Do Sphere effects stack if they both have the same effect?

Does "Augments Jump" on Ryunohige have any additional effect on Spirit and Soul Jump? IIRC, the augment was to make jumps do critical damage, but that's what the new jumps do naturally with your wyvern present.

Asking again

Also, what are the best JA and magic camps for Dyna Sandy Windy and Bastok?

[Byrthnoth]

It does not appear to affect Spirit and Soul Jump, which can still non-crit with the wyvern out. It may affect high jump though.

[Chun Liroy]

It does not appear to affect Spirit and Soul Jump, which can still non-crit with the wyvern out.

Wait, they can?

[Kaisha]

Anyone got a BLU spell SC list handy? I want to attempt a zerg on an NM using Azure Lore and just doing back2back2back2back SC.

[Byrthnoth]

Wait, they can?

Sorry, meant "without the wyvern out"

[Nightfyre]

Has anyone tested it for critdmg+ or extra OAT?
