Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Karbuncle]

I really don't know what you're using Bst for, or why you're single wielding.

I was going to farm a Seal NM, The Fish in Vunkerl, Spams Water attacks. Planned on using the Slug Pet, So i wouldn't have TH. So i went BST/THF to get a little TH on it. Its a rare occasion. (See! I am working on Upgrades...). So i apologize for the confusion.

Swap to the +2 Body and Feet,

but of course, I know this, definitely that +2 Body is an Upgrade. Working on that as well. Just not a lot of time to get on it.

use Dusk gloves +1, dual wield your best available weapons, eat red curry.

Well, Yeah, Dual Wield Obviously when i can, Which is pretty much Every time on BST except for the 1 Time It happened to record my FFXIAH profile. Red Curry of course as well, I didn't know there was other types of food?

The above setup gives you almost exactly the same amount of Acc if that's what you're aiming for, but you're tossing a sizeable chunk of Attack (around 24 and 3% DA as a bonus) for some Str Dex that I can't see the reason for as yet.

I really Should be clear, this is my fault, The Above set up Is what I'm using at the time. I don't think its a perfect set up, Far far from it. Hence the "Mediocre BST" at best when i first asked the question (Or did i say Terrible? I forgot). Basically, my BST is missing a lot of gear, But I'm trying to do with what i have. Was just hoping there was something besides Pearl for feet.

Dusk+1 Shouldnt be a problem as i own a pair already though...

Any particular reason you mention single wielding suppa and ignore the fact your TP setup contains a jug broth?

I did mention something along the lines of "Ignore the Suppa, Its suppose to be a Centaurus Earring if i single Wield, But damn Macro is fudged".

Edit:

Edit: Ignore Suppa while single Wielding... Generally use that Attack+10 Eva-5 one, But was lazy last night

* Translation: I was already at the zone when i realized i didn't bring it, and didn't feel like walking back.

Most of the stuff i already know, I just don't have the gear for it yet. Maybe you're just a Career BST and REALLY hate other BSTs who aren't perfect. I understand this, Frankly if i see a THF with something out of Place i want to rape their face.

So i get it. I know the Obvious Upgrades to make, Body needs to be changed, I do have a Pet:Haste Build btw... I was just looking for some feet Armor as a temporary replacement to Perle Until i could upgrade to a much better TP Set.

Obviously the Set I'm currently using is not ideal, No sir. I'm quite aware of that. But its what I've thrown together. Was really just hoping there was a bridge between the Perle feet and the 4/5 Dusk+1 Hand set up.

Get a Hagneia stone, or a White tathlum or something. Anything

I logged out with a Jug Pet equipped, was more or less bad timing? I do have an Ammo item. Plus, I Carry these pets because of Voidwatch, Pretty sure theres a proc for every type of pet? Honestly not sure.

either way, I like to be prepared. Got this one out of a Brown Casket and kept it.

---

Anyway, Thanks for the Advice. Most of it I already knew, Like the obvious upgrades to certain +2 options when i obtain them... But Eh, I wasn't clear about that.

First time doing AGI Sekkas so I apologize for the questions that have probably been answered a million times. I hate diremites. Is there a better area for that trial? I have NEVER seen wind weather there. When does wind weather pop? Friend says only once in a RL week does weather pop? To try and save time, I use the FF11 Info weather forecast site. It seems accurate; is it?

Wind weather can pop in aydeewa as it shares weather with wajaoom, which isnt it as uncommon as people seem to be saying...but its not a gov dungeon so 16 minute repop timer will bone you.

Regain is very situational as pointed out for some jobs. Where as TPbonus is very potent for others. At this point in the game you more then likely use a spread of jobs and will get many more miles out of TPbonus. Also Regain earring in VW is very pointless. You get an auto regain from atmacite and meds. Most DDs will have COR rolls for more regain and saveTP.

Refresh earring is very nice for a person playing mage jobs, I'm melee onry so TPbonus was the obvious choice even though I don't use it on all my jobs or WSs.

Sorry to bring this argument up again, but exactly what jobs would the TP Bonus be "very potent" for? And has there been any evidence at all on crit rate scaling w/ TP?

[Howie Roary]

finally finished my moonshade and capped tonberry hate, so I'm happy with my MNK verethragna TP set (VW gear aside) but can I get some ideal MNK 95 sets for smite and TP inside and outside? I stalked ffxiah for any 95 sets but all are marked for 90 if at all and Gokku's only has outside smite

do I ws in rancor now? or that str4 attack15 neck? I've held off getting beir+1 or ire+1 since just before the level 95 update waiting to see what would come out and haven't tweaked it since

also for head is augmented shura+1 better than MKE hat?

Are any of PW's drops valuable/useful these days?

Belt is useful for jobs that can't use twilight/bullwhip. So pld, mages, and drk. Though mages who really cares that much and drk goading is probably better. And if you have speed then that works too. The rings are somewhat useful

PW doesn't drop a belt or rings

I should get a John Travolta "let's get specific Bob" screenshot.

I found it difficult to answer your repeat question with the information at hand, nothing more.

The jug was one such comment, there's little else to remark upon, sometimes the obvious things are easily missed. If you hadn't mentioned single wielding suppa I would have not commented, case in point.

As far as Bst is concerned, I only have it geared because I keep everything as long as possible; hand-me-downs, stuff I already own from other jobs or obtained whilst farming for other goals.

I've used it rarely, but the last week I rolled it out just to see what all the whining was about in the Neo Dynamis thread. Needless to say much hilarity ensued and I will seriously consider using it there repeatedly.

I so read AV lol.

How do ppl know that dipper Yuly has Treasure Hunter?

Did they thf it up and find that it had a level increase?

[Bress]

Anyone have an updated copy of the resources.xml that recast uses? The default one is way out of date.

I could update it myself using the spellcast files, but I want to see if I can save myself some work.

Thank you, I can never find that thing.

Can BB items be sent to mules?

[urat]

What would be the best way to handle swapping to Oynos knife when I don't have haste, via spellcast? Specifically in regards to my TP as a dancer. I don't think it's best for me to swap as soon as the buff wears, since I could potentially lose a lot of tp when I need it.

I'm thinking add ina check for if my tp is less than a certain threshould? And if so, what should that threshould be? At the moment I have it set to 30%, so essentially after I WS, but now Im noticing that doesnt always happen due to dancer's save tp effect proccing

Mayhaps 50%?

[Eldelphia]

There are still people willing to pay for them. Whether they should, is debatable.

Isn't frequent wind weather in wajoam/bhaflau dependant on the in-game month? Somewhere around months 5-6 it's suppose to have a lot more wind weather. And from personal experiance doing an AGI dagger during those months, I'm pretty sure I did 5 of the 7 wind-weather trials in Thickets/Woodlands (Any Mob, Morbols, Beasts, Puks, Plantoids) and got them all done in 2 RL days I think.

Yes, someone did a test in Abyssea somewhere but I can't find the thread now, used Atma of the Dread so the BST and pets had TH+1. A THF friend went with him, no atma and no TH+ gear. Yuly attacked a mob, THF poked it till he got a TH bonus, and it was upgraded to 5 right away. So was at 4 before, minus atma means Yuly has TH3.

It's entirely situational, and therefore you should swap manually.

Sorry to bring this argument up again, but exactly what jobs would the TP Bonus be "very potent" for? And has there been any evidence at all on crit rate scaling w/ TP?

Well, just look at the fTP on the WS. If the multiplier is scaling with TP, then it's going to get a decent boost. In particular, Torcleaver and Tachi: Fudo get a very potent boost.

In regards to critical rate modified WS, yes it has been tested- so you can count on it being the best for those WS as well.
