Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Byrthnoth]

I think it's guaranteed 2-5 with red proc with 1 guaranteed all the time, but idk. Last time I checked, I averaged 2.3 per kill with Red Proc and TH2, so you'd assume it goes up to 3.3 per kill (+~40%). Do you proc/kill 40% slower? I probably would on DNC/Nothing, but it's hard to say because I'd also spend less time with my back to the mob trying to proc it. I'm mostly afraid of how much more damage I would take.

[NynJa]

I go in dnc/xx, thf/sam, rdm/whm

I know I could go thf/dnc and have more JA procs, but the thought of procing one on thf/dnc when it could be the ever so elusive white proc, why risk it.

So has it been officially determined yet if your critical hit rate scales from 100-199% and 200-299% TP during Blade: Hi and other critical hit weapon skills? I know in the past it was proposed that your critical hit rate anchors at 15/20/25% for 100/200/300% TP, respectively, but then also it has been said that your critical hit rate scales (with TP bonuses and stuff). Has there been any official conclusion, or is it just too hard to test? I would imagine it would be really tedious, seeing that it would probably take 20% TP just to raise the critical hit rate 1% if the scaling were true.

I've been farming WoE coins for a while now and I don't know why. What weapons are even worth making?

[Esvedium]

If no full empys and not planning to do them, I'd say h2h, sword, gkat, maybe gun. The Ws on those is usually a nice bump up from anything non-empy, non-relic. I might be missing some.

GA,Sword,H2H,Katana,Gun,Bow,GKT are all pretty decent.

[Radec]

If you're blm|sch|smn often for VW, Myrkr is a solid 60% MP restore+most status removal from 30' with a dusty wing - between that and Lucid Ether II x2, Manapowder x2 and Vicars, rarely need to use real meds or rest.

Plus, trial NMs will always be ready to pop after 2-3 PH as there is no shared trial with staff.

I've found Jishnu's outside of abyssea to be not much better than Side/refulgent...and thats with Gandiva.

Wish SE would fix Dead Aim to work for WS's, cuz its pretty useless otherwise.

[noodles355]

I've heard it sucks ass on VW as well. I'm interested in hearing from a Rng with Gun though, because on Cor WF is out-damaging Sidewinder (without MaB buffs or Ratt food) on both Dyna mobs and in VW, be interested in hearing if Rng is the same. I'm putting off lvling Rng from 90-95 until I finish off it's last 2 +2s so I can play with 4hit Arma setup. I'd still think of making WoE bow if I got enough mats, although I'm only like 5-6 on most of them now (10ish on Birth) and too lazy to do more right now.

Some questions that goes together

What synergy lv do i need to augment Genbu shield at a good rate

What would be the best augement to get, so the shield + tefnut wand can beat Surya's +3 for cure?

The synth is somewhere in the 20's (Initiate rank), I would guess that you would want to be about 60 to get a strong chance of a good HQ, but I am not an expert in Synergy.

Shield and Tefnut's wand will not beat a Surya's Staff +3. Tefnut Wand is 15%, and no one seems to have augmented more than 5% on Genbu's Shield; the current Surya's Staff is 23%. You still could probably cap cure potency with the Wand and augmented Genbu's Shield with other gear though, and get the possible advantage of cure cast time.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this spellcast script? I keep getting error "XML parsing error: line 0 - failed to open file".

Almost certainly missing an include, or include isn't named correctly.


<xi:include href="include.xml" xpointer="/includes/include[@name='WeaponSkillRule']/*" />
...
<xi:include href="include.xml" xpointer="/includes/include[@name='CancelRules']/*" />

These are the culprits

[Taera]

Idk what that means. How do I fix it?

[Radec]

Talk to whoever you got the xml from, decent chance it was Yugl or Motenten, or based on the ones they did. Check the spellcast thread.

Where's a good place to farm Goblin Pathfinders for Counterfeit Gil(COR jobemote)? Rolanberry has been a pile of ass, but I can't remember exact locations of any other Goblin Pathfinders.

Yhotor Jungle has a spot (I think around F/G-7 but it has been a long time since the bad old days of mandy parties) where there are two Pathfinders right next to each other. In Attohwa Chasm there are two Pathfinders on the east side of the zone west of the mountain. (Roaming from the where cockatrices to eruca areas would be in the Abyssea version.) There should be two Pathfinders in Batilla Downs from Jeuno to the mound at I-9. These are the ones off of the top of my head, but it would probably be better to go to Batilla Downs and subbing RNG for widescan. There are 8 pathfinders in the zone so you'll have to roam, but better than sitting around waiting for repops.

What's a good set looking like for Namas tp/ws on SAM? And the same for rng? I'd assume a setup for RNG isn't much different than it would be for a regular non gandiva rng.
