Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Deader2818]

How much is a reasonable price to pay a ls for VW bodies? I'm over 100 kills on Celaeno now and ready to pay someone. I figure I could shout in Jueno offering 10-???M for Anhur robe, but I don't want to offer too much, or too little. Since their own members will presumably be able to earn bodies while they're at it, I don't think I need to offer an exorbitant amount.

Why would you pay for it if you can just keep joining Celaeno shouts? Its basically the same expect you arent throwing money out the window.

Is that naked galka or a galka subbing thf? You can get a ton of MP gear to help but that's too low, even with meds. You want to maximise the efficiency of your spells that's for sure. Cap cure potency like yesterday and get every piece of refresh gear to idle in. Can you merit MP? I swear that's under half of my MP as a hume and I don't focus on MP gear AT ALL. There is a ton on EAF though so +2 that. I'd focus on a refresh/hMP/cure pot set and not worry about damage taken honestly. I have the components of the set but I never really use it on WHM. BLM, RDM and my other jobs yes but not WHM.

Naked galka w/o MP merits. I have a lot of melee and dont really want to sacrifice my unique high HP for WHM project. Looking at damn hot BLU spells and having in mind Oneiros ring my merits might change but idk yet.

Thx everyone for help not decided yet if I start WHM but thx for all opinions.

I am fairly certain that the Mandragoras in Tahrongi were DC to level 75 way back when the first time I entered the zone. (They were the first Abyssea mob I ever XPed on.) I think it would be a good idea to test the level range, even if it is with someone on a 75, 80, or 85 job checking a Visions, Scars, or Heroes zone respectively.

I remember them being DC, but I remember having fought other parties for a few hours to pull Mamool/Vultures. I think I was 80. I can take one of my reject jobs back and check around at some point.

Are the -ja line of BLM spells stronger or weaker than -aga IV spells of the same element?

[Mrbeansman]

what's the fastest way to get to feiyin?

Turn on noclip with clipper and walk over to it in mid air then dec your way to the ground when you get there.

weaker, I think? When mobs use -ja spells it never seems terribly impressive, but I can't recall any mobs off the top of my head that use both -aga IV and -ja for direct comparison.

[Neisan]

Mielikki uses both, but I haven't fought that thing since 85 cap. Qilin too.

Ah. next time I fight qilin I'll leave a parse open to try to get some -ja to -gaIV comparisons then.

It's not the same thing because I'm 0/100 since VW came out. If I pay someone I would hope to have it within the next week. Shouting for Celaeno on Odin basically comes down to waiting for 1 of 3 people who are willing to tank it on the whole server. We do it as a ls like 3 times a week.

I did VNM kills.

I did VNM kills.

That and you can get lucky and max it out in a couple Bhumi kills, although I usually just do VNM.
edit: nvm, Bhumi is for amber

Does the NM Buburimboo (for gkt trials) have a single placeholder? I would assume so, since it's a lottery spawn, but wiki doesn't have the info. I'm guessing it's the bottom one in the list but I don't wanna kill only that one and have it not spawn.

When I did that trial I just killed every pugil, and I made sure to the Bogy at night. Don't think there's a specific placeholder. Got it to pop very soon after the window opened each time, but I may have just been lucky.

So even in dynamis (and I've been noticing it most places) my wildfires regularly do more than 1.5-2x more damage than my slug shots with Red Curry Buns. Even on T Hippos (piercing weak) Wildfire was still doing significantly more damage. Is this normal? Is it the same on Rng?

[dasva]

How much dmg exactly? And no it wouldn't be the same as rng seeing as rng will do decently less on wildfire if you use a mage sub or mage rolls but a decent amount more on slug. Been awhile since I really used rng much outside of abyssea so hard to say. Last time I used it was at like 80 or 85 against kirin and Sarameya and was doing like 2.4-2.8k on them.

[noodles355]

Well I was /blm by mistake (I'm usually /sam). But on Lost NM pops in Valkurm Wildfire was doing 700ish, and slug shot doing 300ish. On normal T nightmare mobs, Wildfire was doing around 1.7k (hippos) 2k (shrooms/Goobbues/trees) (2.4k after fire shot). Highest slug shot I got was around 1.1k (with Red Curry Bun). Buffs were Tcticians/Misers (And 2x March, not that it affects cor). On Voidwatch mobs WF is between 900-1800 depending on the mob, but slug/detonator are never over 300ish. Wildfire was also beating Slug (but I don't remmeber by how much) with Pot-Au-Feu and /sam last sandy dynamis on orcs.

Can post WF/Deto/Slug gear if interested.

[Firedemon]

Best things to put your synergy skills into? I just dinged 80 and I want to blow my points now.

[dasva]

Hmmm not sure those slugs seem kinda low but only having rng hard to say. From the sounds of it though you have really low ratt. Like just whatever you get from capped skill on cor + whatever food is adding. And possibly not at right range. Sets might be helpful though

Neck in Detonator is Corvus, PCC in Slug, Belt is relic in both. Waist is Obi in WF (fireday ingame atm)

Edit: /Blm is mistake again, Warp etc.
