Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Toshiko]

Re-applying XI View post-update seems to have broken my macro palette (doesn't show up on screen and can't change set, even though I can still hit the macros on my current set)

Anyone know how to fix this?

asked same thing, answer here. >>

There's an explanation of how to fix this on Windower.net forums. You have to put a couple of the original DAT files back.

Bumping my own question being how are 2boxers setting up their second window regarding the resolution size and the box size. I run my mule at 800x600 but their chatlog is coming up 1920x1080 (what i run my main at) how do i fix this?

Mirage Charuqs +2 perhaps, though the Morrigans probably are superior, the extra attack on the Charuqs is worth considering.

I honestly forgot Charuqs +2 had MND on them. STR+3 MND+4 vs attack+4 will favor Morrigan's even with the attack penalty though.

What would the possibility be of farming crour through voidwatch? You could do it pretty easily with only 1-2 people popping and rest of alliance leaching, since you dont need a stone to get crour.

Looking at the list, capped green light on Zilart T2 is almost 20K crour, so thats 80K crour for 4 stones.

The sanctuary of Zitah is a reasonably easy zone to get too even if you dont have the teleport, and afaik the fight is pretty straightforward, if you only need one popper you could easily do 10+ fights an our, which would work out to over 200K crour/hour, beating your average crour alliance without breaking a sweat, and if your group was good enough to quickly burn them down I could see pulling off even more kills an hour.

Lights don't alter reward unless you use a stone - you'd get the base 6k or whatever on every else. This still could be viable but I wouldn't bother with lights at all - just crush the thing down using 1 stone/battle.

It costs about 8k cruor (after choco blinkers conversion) for a stone, so long as any popper has a mule in the alliance they do come out ahead.

Edit: For the added difficulty (meteor and whatnot) might be better killing stuff just outside jeuno. 6k vs 7.5k cruor, but no transport time and easier to restone.

What's campaign exp like now? I noticed they mentioned boosting it this past update but I thought they already boosted it a while back?

9k/15mins is the cap(600/min), ~30k/hour after accounting for moving around.

How do I enable the large HQ macro pallettes?

So like I can't get pets to use moves that are also blu spells while using spellcast. Now using the command /pet "move" <me> works for the most part but doesn't seem to work for the new pet moves. So any other way around that or just wait for spellcast to update that or something?

What are some standard Corsair Grips? I've just been dicking around with Rose Strap while leveling.

I just use Rose really

Two questions:

1: Does it still take until the next conquest to upgrade relic armor +1?

2: With the rates of currency and the rates of the +2 upgrade items, is it worth it to unlock +1s before doing +2s, assuming I have the -1s sitting in storage (but don't have any currency)?

[Prothescar]

It takes a conquest tally to upgrade from NQ to +1. It doesn't take any time to upgrade from +1 to +2 provided you have the materials as it is a magian trial. Considering you have to wait a week per piece for NQ->HQ and that you can get 50 items in under a week's worth of dyna, I don't really see it being worth waiting unless you want to sell the extra 20 +2 items or save them for another job.

Oh, can you only upgrade one piece at a time? I was going to try to obtain enough upgrade items to hand in Melee Gaiters/Crown/Gloves -1 before I went away for Xmas weekend, then just grab them all Sunday morning and upgrade to +2. Fail...

[fantasticdan]

Upgrading normal AF via limbus materials even shares the same timer. I finally got around to upgrading my nin body to shock spikes last week, than found out I couldn't turn in my koga kyahan -1 until the next conquest tally.

Has there been any testing on the value of small increments of TP on any of the new WS(IE: for moonshade earring)? I was wondering if making the tp bonus earring would be worth it for requiescat(lol)/shun/shoha, compared to just using the atk/str/dex/mnd alternatives.

[dasva]

Shouldn't need to test it... unless these ws are even weirder than we thought it should scale linearally between the anchor points

[Gun-it]

Was Wondering what Merit WS I should be getting, I play SAM/NIN/DRG/THF and Masamune and Kannagi. Was Planning on Capping out Shona first. I have heard good things about dagger too.

What does a Mcrit grip do for Cor?

Bump

Also, which 3 of the new weaponskills should I max out, considering the following:

Drk, Mnk/Pup (with Vere), Pld (with WoE sword), War (with WoE g.axe) Dnc, Thf, Rng (will have WoE bow)

Leaning towards Scythe/Great Sword/Dagger atm

There is little to no reason not to use /war as PUP now, unless...yeah I got nothing, use /WAR. I have always said it, but it there is no excuse not to use it now. The WHM cure bot is insane, keeping you constantly hasted/buffed/healed. DNC was only really needed before due to helping keep yourself alive, but that is not the case in any way now. Go /WAR and dont suck.

The dagger WS is insane, and am very pleased with it as a DNC. Can not go wrong with it. The only issue I have with it is that it doesnt SC well with other dagger WS.

can a dnc with semi-decent gear (and lvl 90 kilas) solo Karkadann?

[Thalandor46]

Has any testing been done on Wyrm Armet +2? Would like to know what kind of HB numbers I can expect

[Ratatapa]

can a dnc with semi-decent gear (and lvl 90 kilas) solo Karkadann?

If you can run away from GA IV and evade Lightning Spear it should be possible

Would Rancor Mantle and Hope Torque be more efficient in a typical Blade: Hi set than Atheling and Rancor Collar?

[Byrthnoth]

You gain 5 AGI and 4 attack at the cost of 3% DA, so probably it is worth doing. The jobs that really benefit from it are those on Justiciar's Torque.
