Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Kipling]

I posted before asking what the best main/offhand dagger for THF is (DMG wise), but now that the cap is 99 and my THF is actually somewhat geared I figured I would see if it has changed at all. Thanks. (Looking to get Mandau in the near future, so mostly looking for the best offhand that isn't Coruscanti.)

Shameless bump, if anyone knows the answer.

Hi Uryuu!

Hey Jade

Hey Jade

STR Kila is the best. Triplus will hold you over until then.

Ninjar questions!

Looking for suggestions on TP/WS for ninja (just hit 95 with it and will be doing LB in next couple of days)

Looking for mostly ah and easy to lowman obtainable gear, stuff thats doable with 4-5 people or less.

Working on ninja seals and af3+2 items atm so will be adding those into my gear set over the next 2 weeks.

So far my gimpy sets are as follows:

Tp:
Main: Lvl 87 +1 ah katana (forgot name) (working on kannagi)
Sub: Kamome
Ammo: Qiz tathlum
Head: walahara turban (i know not sure if purchasing Och head is worth it since I will have +2 af3 head soon)
Neck: peacock
Ear1: centaraus earring (no suppa yet about halfway through ZM)
Ear2: Brutal earring
Body: Juogi
Hands: Dusk+1
Rings: Snipers+1x2 (almost to rajas on mission after sea access)
Back: Cuch mantle
Waist: Speed belt
Legs: Jingjang
Feet: Dusk+1

What TP piece for body should I be using before and after i get suppa? Af3+2, lokis, af1?

For WS i have only been swapping in tumblers trunks, rager ledelsans, sentry belt, cerb mantle+1, ochi kote, and h hachimake since I am still trying to cap skills before i settle into
a final WS set.

Only have Jin atm but will have Shun soon then Hi so basically needing suggestions for Shun and Hi.

I know the obvious stuff like atheling mantle, eponas and Iam going to work on those once I get other stuff out of the way.

For people with 5/5 Shun what seems to be working the best for you? I will mostly be doing stuff in abyssea (sobek/briarus farming etc) and soon sky/sea/dynamis/old content nm's.

Thanks!

Would Exenterator be worth getting to use in dynamis on DNC? If so, has someone made a ws set for it they would be willing to share?

If you had Kannagi NIN, Vere MNK, Ukon WAR, and Anni RNG; which other ws would you recommend unlocking? RNG and WAR being the 2 most used jobs. I was thinking of Apex Arrow just because of the Mithra flip.

Once you have completed the level 95 limit cap quest, can you reacquire an enfeebling item somehow? I have tried trading the combination of bone, fang and stone to the npc in Bastok, the teleporting NPC in Neptune's Spire, speaking to Maat, speaking to the Nomad Moogle. Thanks

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

Well than how should 25 tp bonus moonshade stack up against a 4 str earring for shoha, and how does the atk penalty/bonus scale on shun at all?

[Aja]

Where can I find the newest version of KParser? Thanks.

[Byrthnoth]

Google Kparser and click the first link, then go to "downloads"

Basically tp bonus should win any time it is actually adding anything. So the times it wont is using Sekkanoki. Or using Hagakure with tp bonus gkt. Or using either of those over 180ish tp. Haven't seen report of att penatly/bonus on shun but if there is one it shouldn't scale with tp since it doesn't have that in the ws text

I'm running at 640x/480y Overlay Resolution and 1366/768 background resolution on a 1366/768 resolution monitor and the HD macros with 8 characters don't appear. I heard it needs to be 1000x to work but thats like 9/10 the size of my screen and it slows down my FPS even with a pretty decent chipset and processor.

Delivers a fivefold attack. Attack power varies with TP.

I haven't had time to test the scaling, but it's on my to-do list.

Why are Scintillant Ingots 400k?
http://www.ffxiah.com/item/2275/scintillant-ingot

(other than because luminium is 100k each)

[Nightfyre]

They're used in all the Shadow armor cursed items.

So, latest fellowship npc quest, have npc do 30 ws's vs undead... Tachi: Jinpu and Goten are each counting for 2. Not Enpi though.

20:17:48Khuma readies Tachi: Goten
20:17:48Trial 5054: 14 objectives remain.
20:17:48Trial 5054: 13 objectives remain.

This might also end up being pretty cool if it counts similarly for other things...Nyzul ws's, other ws trials...

Edit: Kagero counted for 2 as well.

[dasva]

Whoops I was thinking shoha for some reason. Probably cause that's what he orginally asked last night. Then yeah not sure about att increase... and even then would be really hard to figure out when it would be worth it lol

Who wants to help save me time and post perfect sets for RDM SCH and MNK?

[Zubuis]

Someone told me that in order for you to participate in the Jeuno: Part II Voidwatch, all members need to have White Stratum: IV. Is this accurate or can anyone participate like every other voidwatch?

Going by the run I did roughly 5 days after update anyone can participate (I only had White Stratum I at the time).

They're wrong, anyone can help (that has got the initial CS to start any city voidwatch I)

Who wants to help save me time and post perfect sets for ... MNK?

For MNK, something like...

TP Set:
Weapon/-/-/Potestas
Tantra/Agasaya/Brutal/Moonshade (personally, I don't like to TP in Rancor)
Tantra/Tantra/Rajas/Epona
Atheling/BB/Tantra/Tantra

Victory Smite: Inside
Vere/-/-/Tantra
Shura+1/Rancor/Brutal/Vulcan
Tantra/Heafoc/Epona/Pyrosoul
Atheling/Beir+1/Hachiryu/Tantra

Victory Smite: Outside (Not totally sure on this, went a bit acc/attack heavy here, sacrificed some STR)
Vere/-/-/Potestas
Shura+1/Rancor/Brutal/Vulcan (Might lean towards Kemas over Vulcan)
Tantra/Tantra/Epona/Pyrosoul (Tantra+2 at least gives a DMG tier here... losing a lot of STR from Heafoc, but gain a lot of Acc, maybe Melee+2 also)
Atheling/Anguinus/Hachiryu/Tantra

MDT Set (basically assuming Shell V on anything that matters, and assuming you may want to TP in it sometimes).
Tantra/Twilight/Brutal/Merman
Avalon/Denali/6%Dark/Shadow
Mollusca/BB/Tantra/Tantra

I like that set, because it keeps you at 25% haste (a bit under true 25%, however)... -25% MDT, and the off chance to absorb whatever magical damage... Defending Ring obviously better than Dark, but good luck getting one.

PDT Set (Not 100% sure here, as mine isn't perfect... ignored stuff like Wiglen, which is -6% PDT +6% MDT, which is kind of a "meh" use of an inventory slot if you have Twilight... Nothing was coming to mind for earrings and feet... there are some options I think, but they're nothing huge.)
Arhat+1/Twilight/-/-
Arhat+1/Denali/Jelly/6%Dark
Mollusca/BB/ASA/-

That set gives -47% PDT... which I guess could be capped easily with earrings and feet... I forget the pieces though...

Chakra Set:
-/-/-/Tantra
Genbu/Fortitude/Terra/Terra (There's a 6 VIT neck also, from Dynamis... not very common to have though...)
Temple+1/Melee+2/Terrasoul/Terrasoul
Melee/Warwolf/Kensei/Ryuga

I have that as +74 VIT... 99 MNK/WAR has 92 base VIT... would be looking at 630 Chakra... with maxed Invigorate, comes out to 1030 HP cured every 5 minutes... pretty nice.
