Random Question Thread XXIV: #Occupy the RQT

[Prothescar]

Has anyone seen/done testing on Murasamemaru? With Tachi: Shoha, Masamune is a bit less attractive, TP Bonus magian and Kikugosaku looking a bit more attractive in the long run. If Murasamemaru's hidden effect is somewhat nice, a 407 Delay great katana with a sword strap added in would still be easily 6-hittable.

Thus, Murasamemaru + Tachi: Shoha could possibly be a rather potent combination.

You think there is some special/hidden effect in Murasamemaru?

I personally see TP bonus magian GKT is the best thing out there for Shoha. If anything, Kikugosaku pulls with 36% faster WS in loss of 222~488 total swing damage per ws cycle. Before these 2, I'll vouch for OA 2-3 GKT. Since, like I said earlier in the other thread that this weapon is relying heavily on stats instead of weapon base damage, hence the damage difference caused by weapon base damage is getting less significant.

Didn't a developer say something about it having a hidden effect in the official forums? Also if I remember it being mathed out the 10% ws dmg gkt ended up adding about as much on average as tp bonus one.

[Prothescar]

Yes it has a hidden effect, it was mentioned just before the weapons were released by one of the community reps from the Devs.

If the hidden effect is something decent, I don't see the Murasamemaru having any issues overtaking the TP bonus great katana.

[VZX01]

How it can come into that?
200fTP/100fTP on YGK is already at 20% at starting point and ends at 33.33..%. For Shoha, 200TP/100TP starts at 32% and ends at 15.87%.

[Prothescar]

All depends on the hidden effect. It could be TP bonus or a straight chance at augmenting damage. Will probably just be something stupid like Enpoison though.

Largely through overtp, tpbonus gains almost nothing as you pass 100, wsdmg scales up very quickly. Combine with a 25tpbonus earring and needs even less overtp. oa2-4(or, even, soboro for /lazy) is an interesting idea though.

Do the 3 starter CoP dynamis zones require xarcabard win? If not, are these zones as easy to solo for AF/currency as the others? I need whm legs and nin feet, but soloing jeuno is ass.

[dasva]

Also Murasamemaru has 11 more base dmg 12 extra str lower delay... also those precentages don't account for gorget or double attack procs. And yeah like said over tp, tp bonus earring, as well as Sekkanoki, and Hagakure.

As far as 2-4 not really sure you gain enough ws frequency/tp overflow to make up for the base dmg given hassozanshin building now

Hecatomb subligar+1 with 4crit rate any good for ukko's? Only slot I'm a little conflicted on for ukko's is legs, ravager's +2, belicus, heca+1, byakko's if Ddex is relevant, etc.

Do the 3 starter CoP dynamis zones require xarcabard win?

IIRC the only requirement is to be past the first Diabolos fight (the CoP mission)

[Rehn]

Any BST can post their pet pdt gear setup sans axes?

[Yugl]

Can the test server use spellcast? If so, can someone test the ability to use Barbed Crescent as a trigger spell? To do so, test to see whether you can use /ja Barbed Crescent as a trigger while on BLU. Then do /magic Barbed Crescent to see whether that works normally.

[Byrthnoth]

Spellcast works off resources.xml, which isn't going to have anything mapped for the player version of Barbed Crescent until the next update.

Does Signet work in dyna zones? I was in dyna-qufim w/o it today on BST and it seems like I was getting hit a lot more.

It does for the resting bonus so I assume it does for the rest of the bonuses.

yeah you just need the CoP 3-5 Diabolos win for access. as to AF farming, You have to kill beastmen to get AF to drop in dreamzones. compared to jueno, the beastmen in COP zones are a little lower level i believe, and the TEs are like 100 times easier.

as to signet in dyna, i know you get the xp bonus for having it on in addition to the resting bonus, i imagine you get all the bonuses

Does anyone have a few examples of how to get the Run plugin for windower to work? I'm trying to get it to work with SimpleBlue, and

//run D:\Games\FF-Windower\plugins\SimpleBlue.exe

Just gives me the result of "File not found".

[Julian]

I imagine that \ is being used as an escape character.

try //run D:\\Games\\etc, using a \ after every \.

(If you want to actually understand what I mean, imagine a programing language, and imagine writing a string. You normally do something like string = "This is a string.", but if you want to write a string with a " inside of it, you get string = "The quote "Lol" is a cool quote", which will get interpreted as string = "The quote " with a bunch of text after it that it does not know what to deal with. The way languages get around this is to use an escape character, usually \, so if you type "The quote \"lol\" is a cool quote", it wont interpret the " as it normally would, and includes it as part of the string. Probably not the best explanation, lol.)

If that doesn't work, maybe try / instead, like D:/Games/etc. I think windower might use that, not sure.

[transmit]

You were spot on! Thanks a lot.
