Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[NynJa]

Parse the hit rates of even top tier DDs on some of the hard voidwatch monsters. That is justification in it's self for feint, tho whether it's justification for a thief in the alliance is another matter entirely.

its too bad SE royally fucked up thf inclusion in voidwatch: soft cap of 350 on red/blue, hard cap of 500 can only be reached by cells/TH alignment, except you push to hard cap just from using cells, meaning all a thief does is give extra XP / cruor, and its not much (TH8 on Qilin would offer an extra 640 cruor)

if SE had made the hard cap higher, say 600, and left cell inclusion a cap of 3 uses, and gave 2% light per level of TH, it might actually be more useful. THF puts TH10 on a mob, you hit white, using 3 cob/rubi cells, instead of the usual 525/525, which you'd get regardless with a thief present or not, you wind up with 545/545. Whether it'll make a fucking difference or not with the shittastic drop rates, it atleast gives a thief a purpose.

their method of inclusion that they added serves absolutely no purpose.

Why would anyone be thf in VW, though?

I agree with higher cap, the whole TH/cell bonus thing is retarded. However, I dont think I'd like to see 2% bonus from TH = 2% lights, rather keep the bonus TH adds as is, giving a % of the total, (TH6 on 350 Blue would give +21).

Yeah... hence the second sentance in the section you quoted....?

Hence my first statement: for me, more than one merit in feint is a waste...

I thought it was 1% per level of TH, atleast thats how I understood it on bgwiki when I read it, not as a multiplier based on TH applied. Regardless, its still useless as everyone should be trading cob/rubi cells and the TH bonus is annuled.

QD head for Cor?

[Nattack]

does anyone know if SCNM are capped at 75 or not?
I want a ree habalo's headgear for completion sake/running around town, but last I recall Oztroja SCNM was the hardest of the three, and with the most retarded drops,

[Taim Meich]

Pandinus Beret, no?

[noodles355]

Augmented Crimson/Blood Mask > Pandinus > AF1 Head I guess?

I remember asking about Ukon 5hits a while ago after Ogier's Gauntlets were intoducded and being shown that they lost to 6hit, mainly due to Restraint. But I believe I was showed the 5hit won when restraint was down? After playing around with my cor's gear, who's X-hit changes depending on what miser number, I got to thinking, is there a set that had AF3+2 hands with 6hit when restraint was up and ogiers with 5hit when restraint is down? Only problem is might have to use Rose Strap, but might it be worth concidering?

Also 2nd question: Do most ukon wars here have different TP setups for voidwatch (Save TP atmacite means you will need a different amount of STP)? OR just use their normal one?

What do PUPs merit?

Just came back to the game since last summer and someone in my LS insisted that aftermath ODD from empyreans will proc on weaponskills. Did I miss something from the update of 90-99 or is said person just misinformed?

Just got back into playing after being hacked in december before update, can't seem to find where ppl have updated the new relic armor. (Tried wiki and can only see a few, and putting 1 by 1 on ffxiah is mind numbing)

I have jobs for war/sam/nin/brd/blm/whm,(all got af3+2)

Anyone willing to point out which relic+2 pieces that I must have since I can't find a place to view them all.

Thanks.
