Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[ccf]

Anyone know of any good carby english speaking linkshells that plays at Japanese prime time?

My work required me to transfer to Asia for some time and I am getting tired of VW pickups, so i am looking for a ls to social and do stuff.

Thanks.

Been looking around for Rudra's Storm info, but it seems most people have the Empyrean. Don't play nearly as often as I used to so I guess I should ask:

Is Daka worth getting for THF?

Daka is a wash for DNC soloing. The way it can be good is to release all my evasive support to DD.
If your THF is geared for DD, then Daka +2 is a nice little damage upgrade from Evisceration.
But, if you're going to get Exenterator, I guess you can just skip Daka +2

So far order of strength in daggers for dnc, according to DPS spreadsheet, isssss...

Twashtar(95) > Coruscanti > Twashtar(90) > DA Dagger (95) > DA Dagger(90) > Fire Dagger(95) > Fire Dagger(90)

So if you want the ultimate set up for daggers without getting empy or killing qilin a million times, at least on dnc, it would actually be mainhanding (95) DA and offhanding (90) DA, giving you two fast rank 5 weapons and +20 doube attack.

Second best setup is main: (95)DA and offhand 95 Fire.

The only reason I seperated the (95) DA and Tash is because going from their 90 version to 95 version requires an exceptional amount of work and/or gil, finding 200 Silver Mirrors or Metal plates is a pain in the ass. So if you dont have the resources to get the 95 version of twashtar, it may just be easier to kill qilin over and over instead of make tashtar.

Pretty sure you can't make x2 DA Magian weapons. Or DA/Oat/Oa4 etc. since they all share r/ex/aug.

EDIT: not at the same stage at least cause something tells me I saw jaderattlesnake with x2 occaisonally fails 2-x times daggers, but I thought that was a graphical error.

Yeah thats why you'd mainhand the +3 version and offhand the +2 version. They're very close to the same dagger, one has a little bit more dmg than the other. I believe it is 47 and 45?

Either way, the amount of time and effort it would take for me to make another one of these damn daggers seems mind boggling, but it might still end up being simpler than a fire dagger, what with burn parties and whatnot.

You can make 2 BST axe with both pet dmg take- so why should you not be able to make 2 DA Weapons?

Elemental weapons are only EX/AUG, not Rare.

(DA Aren't) But as mentioned, +2 and +3 are different weapons, so having a 95 and a 90 works.

is there a list of the new whm spells from test server? I think I saw somewhere that there is Regen 5 and aoe Raise?

As far as we know it's Araise, Cura III, Boost-INT and Boost-DEX. Think Regen V is SCH only. Although I'd swap them all for something to erase Amnesia.

They kinda "removed" araise from the dats in the latest update. The info is still there, but the spell has been renamed back to the generic (magic ###), so they may have ditched the idea.

If I buy the Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition Download off Amazon, can I split the registration codes between two existing accounts? For example; add the registration codes for all the addons and Abyssea to my mule, and use the code for Destrier Beret on my main?

[dasva]

yes

[Ratatapa]

Is it still possible to know a mob TOD wiht Apradar 3? if yes how thx

[noodles355]

Sweet so 14 agi 6 mab... sounds like solid WF pants to me

They have AGI on them? I thought they were DEF34 STR+6 Ratk+6 Macc+6 Mab+6 Crit+4% Setbonus? Either way, 6Mab/Macc should beat out Ambusher's 10AGI, so happy me.

The nyzul+5 gear looks rediculously good, if it uses the base NQ item for upgrades then I'm happy I spammed that shit so much back in the day... 14/15 missing askar body.

Question: Use for Faz. R Mail? Have Drg and War. Drg all I can see is sidegrade from Ares for Wheeling Thrust and Inside-Abyssea Drakesbane. Someone told me it's good with +1 head on War, but I don't use or care about War enough to buy that (or even NQ). Would be a shame to mule it with Ace's Mail... terrible VW drop system etc (Why couldn't I get legs from aello instead of body from uptala, and body from celeano intead of voidwrought -.-)

[Neisan]

Without head there isn't much reason to use it on War.

[noodles355]

Guess I'll just mule it incase I land in a pile of gil and decide to blow 4 mil on a job I never use then. *Sigh*, thanks.

[Kayu]

a completelly updated AV list of july 2011(at least on armor and weapon area and the new glowing weapons if possible), one that includes the glowing versions of the fazhelos?

[shen]

edit: redid some math was a little off >.>

Is a 4 hit build worth it with Gandiva and /SAM outside Abyssea/VW? Was doing the math and with a 15.1 TP return, I would need 67 STP on all 4 hits to maintain it. Unless I sacrifice some slots on my WS set, I could only get 43 STP (Mekki, Rose, Loki, AF3+2 hands, Rajas, augmented Byakko Haidate, and /SAM). Soo depending on how many hits hit on Jishnu's, I would need 67 (All 3 hits connect) to 74 STP (Only the first hits) during the TP phase. With this set, I can only get up to 72 STP, which wouldn't cover me if I only hit the first hit. I could use Houyi's Gorget but I don't have it (yet). Still I gotta ditch a lot of gear to use it, but I could pump a little more STP into my WS set. So any ideas if its worth it or not?

[VZX01]

It boils down on how you're gonna do the fight
Short fight/zerg type => no need to care about enmity => go 4 hit

Otherwise, why would you want to kill yourself faster?

[dasva]

So you can RR up and start fighting again faster!
