Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[noodles355]

Super duper late, but was going back through topic to tryand find a post and missed this:

You must've updated your sets, since you had an extra body in there for another +2 haste. Why not replace Goading with Bullwhip and Blitz with Hoard/Tyrant's ring to get a lower hit AND capped haste? I'm using this atm, and it was 6-hit/cap Haste.

Why hoard ring? AF3+2 body gives you more than enough store TP for a 6hit already. Swap it out for blitz and you can then use Calmecac Trousers for the DA/TA

[Taint]

Is it worth pursuing a Catastrophe 5hit build over 6hit?

Top Apoc set is a 5hit yes.

If you are using Tactical mantle to get there you should be 6hitting with a sword strap. I keep my sets updated for the most part on FFXI if you want to see some examples.

For corsair in VW, is the loss of 36 Racc and 10% Crit rate worth dropping from a 4hit to a 3hit? My gut says no, but want to check opinions.

[Nermie]

Anybody have any recommendations on where I can do Trial 1879 (Coronach killshot on 300 plantoid)? I have a WHM mule and a THF or NIN mule.

Could try making a mandy pt in tahrongi . Seems old zone pts are becoming popular again for some reason

Vunkerl funguar are a pretty good spot

[Gherman]

Howdy!
A quick question, Is it possible to log two characters sharing the same SE account at once? (2boxing)

[noodles355]

Yes, both my characters are linked to the same SE account.

Edit: Nvm, figured it out.

I would go with your gut. I've not done a lot of VW on COR since coming back, but I always know we've had the shittiest R.Acc, and the crit rate would be a nice boost too. I'd say parse it to be sure, yourself, but personally go with R.Acc and 4-hit.

You could solo farm gold chests in Tahrongi before you got 30 coins from WoE

Or I could go nights of farming gold chests and end up with 3/4ths of a set because all of the wrong KIs dropped. There is a reason why I despise Tahrongi.

Plus I know of no reasonable way to dual-box Glaviod because of its hate reset.

[Nattack]

is there a windower variable that tells whether you are in a party or not? I'd like to make a rule that, if i'm in a party of 4+ to equip Mextli harness, otherwise equip a solo (or 2box) tp body

also i've never tried it myself, but i've seen it used elsewhere, does "area" really return which area you're in? I havent really updated my spellcast XML's since 2009... and now im starting to look at actually utilizing this situational gear

if not i guess i could simply make my own flag for it, wouldn't be terribly hard.

[noodles355]

If you mean, can you use it like in "<if area="Zone"> Then ..." then yes you can. Example:

<if status="idle">
			<if area="*Remnants|Mamool Ja Training Grounds|Ilrusi Atoll|Periqia|Lebros Cavern|Leujaoam Sanctum|Nyzul Isle">
				<equip when="idle" set="Salvage" />
			</if>
			<else>
				<equip when="idle" set="Idle" />
			</else>
		</if>

			<else>
				<equip when="idle" set="Idle" />
			</else>
		</if>

yeah, thats what i need to know.

i doubt there's a variable for how many people are in your party i suppose, though I would assume it wouldnt be too hard to implement

Go claim/proc what you're missing after it becomes a waste of time, brew glavoids.

does war/nin get either of the katana red procs naturally now? If not, are either of them easily accessible?

Sub NIN has 150 skill flat, you need 175.

There are few items with Katana Skill in the game for Ei:

Mextli Harness and its crafting counterparts +5 +6 +7
Hope Torque +7
Ring from some Arch Boss +5
Hachimaki +5

So even with perfect gear, you would still need a merit in katana. Personally I use Mextli Hachimaki and Merits.

[Yugl]

Thanks, is there a way to do it with minimal tp loss though? Like if tp < 10? Dont want to lose a shitload of tp as soon as haste procs

Add TPLT="10"

Yes, type %Area and you'll see SC return the name of your current area.

[dasva]

If I was just say going for the clear how low manable are voidwatch T1-3 city zones?
