Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Septimus]

I have a trial where I need to kill 200 beetles with Ifrit. The ones in Crawler's Nest are gone. I'd rather not do pets because I always screw them up. Can anyone suggest a place to kill a lot quickly? Are there any in Abyssea?

When I did my Ifrit trial, I killed the Goblin's Beetles in Sauromugue Champaign (S). Ifrit normally one-shots them with Flaming Crush, it really isn't as bad as you think. (And if you get links, you can run just desummon the aggro away once the beetle dies.)

If you are dead set against beetle pets, you can see if the Armet Beetles are still in King Ranperre's Tomb, right around Cemetery Cherry pops. (They might have been taken away with GoV also though.) There are also new Beetles in Garlaige Citadel were Serket used to pop, but I think that they are over level 70, maybe over 80, meaning that they will have a fair amount of HP. If worse comes to absolute worst, you can always level sync to 11 or 12 and demolish Scarab Beetles in East or West Ronfaure. (Level 12 should get you to the point where the will all be EP, but the lowest level ones will almost be too weak.)

Is there any Hidden bonus from going 90>>95 on Emp, like there were for 85>>90?

what bonus's are those?

[grevenilvec75]

I added

mouse_blockinput 1

to my init.txt and it isnt working. and when I try to type it in in-game it crashes the game. Anyone else having problems? I have the newest version of windower (didnt work with the old version I was using either)

bump!

I notice nitsuj posted right after me but completely ignored my post -_-.

I would actually be rather surprised if that worked. Let me know how it goes.

Tried that tonight, no dice.

If I'm not mistaken, I remember hearing there was a boost in WS damage when you hit level 90 emp.

[dasva]

That was relic and mythic not empyrean

What's a good second atmacite choice for PUP in VW after Coercion? I am looking for something to boost Stringing Pummel specifically (STR and VIT mods).

[Flic]

Shouldn't discipline be first atmacite picked for any melee? not sure how pup works but save tp is a great stat for vw.

[Draylo]

Is Alexander(summon fight) soloable?

Yes it is, I did it myself on BLU at 90 cap

Spoiler: show

Sloppy but it is much much easier now.

How long has the weather forecast part of this site been down? Been checking it periodically for the past couple of days but no luck. Makes me sad.

[Toth]

Ah ty Flic. Forgot about that one!

Is there any reason for a samurai to use a pole arm at this point? Draca couse looks like the best weapon, but it does slashing damage. Everything else that I've found a samurai can use has shit damage. I kind of wanted to Stardiver my way through bats and birds, but that seems pointless. Am I wrong?

[Necromage]

Anyone know what gorget/belts to use for Requiescat? I saw Gravitation/Scission so that would meannn earth/dark/light/fire? (Never used these before o.o)

[Ithorien]

Noob to BRD, anyone have gear suggestions/atma/etc aside from the obvious?

[Cream Soda]

If my friend and I work on the Vermin trail together (500 ws over 400 dmg) for gkt, if we team up will we both get credit for each other's ws'? My friend other friend was able to get me credit in the Kasha killshot trial and he wasn't even using a trial gkt.

Few pages back:

Yes, I added Penta and Stardiver to the sam spreadsheet. Stardiver is very competitive with Shoha, though it depends on overall cRatio, and leans towards the same atma setup. For the config I have, they roughly match on overall DPS at about 1.65 cRatio, and Stardiver builds a substantial lead as cRatio approaches cap. For more defensive opponents Shoha wins due to its attack boost.

Grav is lvl.2 Earth and Darkness. Scission is lvl.1 Earth. So Soil Gorget or Shadow Gorget and the equivalent belts are the only ones that would work. I'm not quite sure where you pulled Light or Fire from but they should not work for Requiescat.

Actually, neither do I.. thanks I'll do soil for both then.
