Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Nightfyre]

Wait, really? You only end up with 20 more dex for Metsu than for Hi? Fair enough, I don't know much about NIN sets.

4 acc from elemental gorget (over Rancor), 2.5 from Rajas (Stormsoul), 4 from Dilaram's Sollerets (Hachiryu). Though now that I think about it Fire Bomblet would be a very small upgrade from Bomb Core on Metsu if hitrate is uncapped, whereas Hi should probably keep using Qirmiz.

TP Bonus Fusetto+3 ... Jishnu's Radiance? ... Wildfire?

So would a TP Bonus Fusetto+3 beat a 6% Crit Damage Yataghan for Jishnu's Radiance? What about Wildfire?

Don't know if anyones tested the crit rates of jishnu's but wildfire tp only effects emnity. And in either case until you find a way to make a jishnu's/wildfire thf and/or dnc it doesn't matter. And while you are at it could you make SA/TA work on ranged ws too?

[NynJa]

Afaik, it hasn't been tested. I would be unsurprised if they didn't, personally. Moonshade would work on melee and ranged attacks, and it has the same message as the magian weapons.

It's really only relevant for THF and SAM though, I think.

You missed this part when the whole discussion started, since thief and sam are the only ones who have a remote chance of using a TP bonus weapon paired with a ranged weapon (sam can use fakehagun and spam bow WS, thief COULD use gun ws's...). Though I guess it could also apply to nin since they can make a TP bonus katana and pair with MKnife for aeolian spam.

Does sword strap count as simply having a lower delay weapon or does the overall 80% cap count it like DW?

Is atmacite haste gear haste?



I don't understand the bolded sentence. I thought it works off your overall delay (for example with vere and tantra cyclas +2, reduction through MA would be 205/(480+51), like 38.6 dual wield, letting you make use of up to ~67.4 more haste), so what the hell does it mean that MA counting to the 80% cap "starts" from a base delay of 480 as opposed to starting from (480+weapon delay)? The second half of that sentence shouldn't even be there, right?

Also, why does the last sentence say 120 instead of 96? x.x

He made a typo about 120 and 96 but I think you made one too. Whats 205? Delay of h2h + veret + cyclas is 275+51 which is 326 not 205 and thats around 38.6% reduction yeah.

I have completed all of the WotG Nation questlines, so now I can never lose my Medal of Altana due to not doing any campaign. My question is, will I still lose the medal if I change nations? I ask because on Quetz atm Fiat Lux is open, but only to Windurst, and I am a smelly Sandy native.

[Ratatapa]

If you changed for a nation for the first time No

so if it's your firs time you go to windu then no

But if you go back to sandy after you loose 2 medals

[Soho]

Magian TP Bonus weapons definitely affect any WS, regardless of weapon type.

Doh! I forgot the Daggers only work on those jobs. My bad!

There should be an option in Profile Settings that allows you to disable your ability to post late at night.

Best non-empy/relic/mythic polearm? Corsesca+3 still I assume?

[geno3302]

I've never been in or set up a cruor PT. I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to set it up and what some good camps are. I know the basic idea, alternate mobs, but nothing past that. Also how much cruor/hr can i expect?

OA2 polearm, yes.

I've done puks and rabbits in vunkrel and pink and brown birds in mis. How much cruor/hr varies very largely on your DDs and having a decent puller. I've seen a pt go from barely 100k/hr to 200k/hr just adding 2 really good DDs for example. Hell if you have idiots that keep breaking the chain you wont get hardly anything. You figure 400-600 cruor per kill once capped then the occasionaly emperal or avatar for a bit more. Only limited to how fast you can kill while not breaking chains

[geno3302]

Oh wow I wasn't expecting up to 200k/hr, thanks I was worried it'd require setting up two camps and such to be viable. Though I guess it's just an EXP PT with more complicated pulls.

[dasva]

Well you can kinda have to camps. They just have to be within xp range of each other lol. But yeah I've seen both. 1 pt at each mob group and 1 in the middle. Also from what I've done it tends to work better in smaller groups. Like 10-12 instead of full alliance. Smaller chance of people breaking chains and such

I mean the total is 480+51. MA traits reduce it by 200 and the shirt reduces it by another 5. 205/531. 205 is the delay reduced. Your 326 is the delay that's left. They add up to 531.

Where can I DL the most updated resources.xml? I tried //updateresources and can't find it on windower forums.


edit: nm I think I found it on the windower wiki

Could anyone provide me with the number of Square enix support center telephone number in UK? Their support center enquiry is so circular that I can't find help there.

Thanks.

480+51 means your minimum delay would be 106. You need 68% Haste to hit that (capped Gear/Magic Haste). One BRD/WHM, basically, and half the time they can sing a minuet if they are good enough thanks to Marcato. Heck, if they were perfect then they could sing three minuets at 99. =P

I've done Misareaux with large success. Park between the bats and the colibri. Go nuts.
