Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Byrthnoth]

That is interesting... certainly raises the value of gorget/belts.

Heres a random question why does wiki still say +.1 ftp when that's not even a close approximation lol

What is it, +12/128?

[dasva]

Ya know I see a few different numbers. Like the ones that guy uses in that link is 10/256 which I think is the lowest I've seen lol. It's really amazing just how much varying information there is on so many things in this game

[shen]

That would be consistent with how BLU fTP works. Considering this is our (first?) multi-hit Ranged WS, I guess we didn't really know which category it fell into.

Refulgent Arrow is 2-hit ;/

Anyways, is this a big enough difference that it would make an elemental gorget competitive with rancor? Or at the very least, would that make an elemental gorget the best possible option if crit rate is capped? I know belts have had some discussion but I haven't heard of anything beating elemental belts in the waist slot in many (if any?) circumstances.

[Erkaan]

Ryunohige by miles. Many reason but main ones are 2-3hit and 15%boost to drakesbane.

DO you mind expanding on some of the other reasons? You have to use the normal Jump to get the effect? Or does it allow for spirit/soul to proc it to? I sure would miss the 100% crit and tp return of both those just to keep the proc up from normal jump.

Whenever Ive equipped Mollusca Mantle my movement speed gets reduced. Ive noticed after I unequip it and switch to another back piece I'm still running slow. Is this as it is meant to work? Logging off and on or zoning fixes this for me but its annoying. Anyone else had any problems with this?

Do you have your character on auto-run? Sometimes you need to stop and start running again or swap a visible piece of gear to change movement speed, it's weird but happens often.

What? lol...

What have jumps to do with 2-3 activating?

2-3 is aftermath after Drakesbane. Its very long aftermath and 2-3 now so it's much more worth it than it was at 75. Drakesbane +15% boost is static on Ryunohige. Jump augment is still a mystery but is irrelevant at this point.

[dasva]

I think he was saying aftermath 2-3 only works on older jumps but regular oax works on all or something which I have no idea. Also I thought the original augment jump made them 100% crit anyways though there was no clue on how higher tiers effected jumps if they did at all

2-3 works on all jumps.

[Stromgarde]

Interesting; Rhongomiant's aftermath doesn't work on Spirit or Soul Jump at all, just the old ones. Ryunohige really is incredible.

[Yukari]

Is there a use in making a OA2-4 or a DA dagger for Thwashtar DNC or THF?

Other options I already have include Triplus, Onyos, AGI Kila, DEX Kila, either of the WS trial weapons.

I think the DA dagger might be okay for DNC, but on THF, probably stick with the Triplus for now.

Bumping this.

[Radec]

Bumping this.

Far as DD potential: Doubtful, especially with saber dance in the mix. STR Kila should be your best option if getting hasted.

Is there any use at all? OA2-4 for blue procs with very little damage dealt, or WS triggers in dynamis.

I tried this as well and let me save you several days and a large headache. Farm some dynamis, sell coins, buy the scrolls. Seriously just do it. I ended up doing it myself after wasting 3 days.

I swear I have the same problem sometimes when changing off Dusk gloves and I always check auto run first.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to work on a STR Kila eventually. In the meanwhile, Onyos when soloing, TPbonus when not?

But it won't save you any headaches if there are no scrolls up.

I would say just go to Oztroja and farm them there. If the top is packed, drop down to the High Priest area, I think there are a few more down there. Plus you can kill NINs for their scrolls, several of the Ni scrolls were worth some gil the last time I checked.

[Alistaire]

How potent is Dokumori: ichi? Does it scale with nin skill?

Barring Mars's Ring, what else is good for War's Ring slot? Haste is already capped from Zelus + Phasmida + af3+2 legs+feet so don't need blitz, at the moment I'm just using Keen/Rajas mainly due to not knowing what else is worthwhile.

Tyrant and can swap out rose strap/other stp? depends on rest of xHit but gives most of what you'd get mars for as is.
