Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

If you have a sam with Masamune and Yoichinoumi, could you have the AM from masa up and have both aftermath+hidden x3 damage from the bow proc at the same time on a ranged attack? aka x6 damage? Taking that a step further, proc that on a barrage?

So, I've been using an older version of Apradar for the longest time, and I just upgraded to 3. Is it just me, or is this thing nearly useless without upgrading to pro? Can't figure out how to find mobs by ID or even filter by names.

tldr: i r software retarded halp

[Skeelo]

Go back to apradar2 and stay there unless you wanna pay for stuff you get for free with v.2

fears confirmed, ffff. thank you.

Do you get spawn alert with v2? That shits well worth the few bucks for v3.

[Cream Soda]

Buns or pizza for Kaggen? haven't done it before so not sure what to expect accwise

Nope. I was skimming over the list of Pro features and they're kinda handy. How does it perform with tracking VNMs?

I have a bizarre question about Dynamis and drops after the recent revamp.
Coincidence? Am I being paranoid? Am I applying self-fulfilling prophecy to this case? Or maybe someone else noticed something about it in their city runs?

I did several runs in Bastok to get my BST body and always camped behind the AH (killing the THFs, the NM and any nearby mobs that were ws or JA proc off to either the left or right side of the AH) and managed to get every single AF drop from that zone by the time I finally got my BST body. When I was farming Glacier as well, I would always camp at the Yags. Eventually I walked away with every piece of relic all dropping off the same sets of mobs. I'm certainly not saying this is conclusive evidence... but from what I've seen, it hasn't seemed as if the drops are grouped up based on mob locations or even job types.

What does the new food "B.E.W. Pitaru" do? Anyone know? I can't find any info on it =(

The other Pitarus are skill up foods for magic skills. I would imagine that these were as well.

How does Decoy Shot work?

DNC category2 merits?

DNC mule I only really use to farm dynamis coins, not sure which cat2 to get.

Neptunes would be a downgrade really. -emnity will generally be more useful than a couple of mnd. Not sure what you thinking with moonshade... the small chance you get 1 tic of refresh during cure?

well more of a lazy thing, I don't actually want to make gear macros for my mule as I don't use any send commands (I just have cure 3-6, haste, erase, and status removal spells macro'd, many other things I actually type /ma "spell name" <p1>)

at the moment I just fulltime a 50% cure pot set, and for things like dragua I switch into full af3 and ditch augur hands for when he runs in to do barstonra


from a macro point of view, no lol, I 'd never macro in something that takes a tic to activate
as for -enmity I never bother (thus oretania over orison cape) since MNK + WHM stuff the only time I lose hate is on stupid mobs like hazdiha when I'm trying to proc with a 1dmg club or staff, and due to his strange hate decay, I really doubt novia would make or break anything at all

Well with the new AF2+2 legs, I plan on doing 5/5 Saber, 4/5 NFR and 1/5 Fan Dance.

That's just to lazy. Why would you worry about optimizing your mules gear, when you dont want to gear swap/use macros. A simple fix to that is to use spellcast. Not only will you not have to worry about gear changes, you can shorthand spells, which makes typing them out much more efficient. If you are to lazy/don't know how to make your own whm.xml grab one from the completed xml thread, set it up once and be done with it.

Aftermaths don't stack and even if they did ODD wouldn't proc on a second weapon.

This brings me to my next question, how do I figure out if Im capped with my delay reduction?

(1-DW%)*(1-haste%)

If the result is <=0.2 (20% of base delay), you're at/past cap.

Chant du Cygne question:

Toci's or Loki's? Bearing in mind I don't have Ocelomeh head yet for the set thinger.

Toci's outside Abyssea. I have them roughly equal inside Abyssea with RR/SS/Apoc.

Some people don't like spellcast.

I agree with you, and after finding out I could make his cure set even better with cure cast reduction cap (spellcasting in general) being changed, this is what's made me look into stop being lazy and start using spellcast
