Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Diddy Kong]

What's the going rate on various tatters these days?

[Radec]

Do SKy Gods rage now if you deal too much damage fast or have a weird innate ODD trait? Was duoing Genbu and the BLU took off like 40% of its HP with one three-step SC and when I pulled hate on my THF he hit me for 700 non crit with 583 added effect and I died.

Genbu simply hits crazy hard during invincible, did you have signet/shell up? Unresisted enwater definitely doesn't help there either.

[matix]

Has the Argus spawn changed in a recent update? Has anyone actually seen him recently? I have been camping for him and the Leech King has spawned every day since I've started. Yes, 7 Leech Kings in a row.... I think the odds of this happening is 0.78%

that sounds pretty normal in my experience, i would expect it soon, but i saw many occasions where LK would spawn up to 9 times in a row, cant say i've ever seen that many argus in a row, otherwise id like to say it should go both ways!

[Roundelk]

Which Relic should I upgrade for DRK, Ragnarok or Apoc? I'm using my DRK for large events (VW and the like) and to just deal Damage.

[Nattack]

Apoc DRK's are quite useful.... Scourge isnt a crit ws is it? I don't think any of them are, and yet the weapon seems geared toward a crit WS...

you'd be better off getting the empy i think. but I'm thinking with a pre-abyssea mindset... I don't think ragnarok has ever been highly recieved

[Darkmagi]

Gsword uses resolution, Ragnarok is the more damaging weapon, Apoc is the defensive weapon.

Can BST solo Genbu? I have a pop set and would like the shield for my BRD to go with Felibre's Dague.

I've killed Genbu a bunch of times back at 75 cap, using RDM RDM THF BRD, but somehow never got the shield.

I could call in the LS for help but if the kill isn't so bad maybe there's no need?

Thanks.

BST/THF, Slug pet and I wouldn't expect any problem. Falcor/Yuly would be dependant on blocking spells, so bst/dnc(violentflourish) + thfpet is probably fine as well. I don't have a bst myself so can't say I've tried it, but wouldn't expect a loss.

[Pandorablue]

If I mostly intend to use THF for dynamis farming, what WS should I use mostly? I have 5/5 exen, but would that beat out Evis/DE? I just finished leveling THF so I haven't really had time to test them out.

[noodles355]

Yes, by a decent margin.

[Pandorablue]

Cool, thanks for the speedy reply!

Any gil making tactics out there that suits people with a low play time? I'm in the midst of building an Amano but without another gil input it'll take me fucking ages, I only have time for dynamis on the weekdays cause of work but I was hoping maybe there was something I could go hard at on the weekends? I only have cooking 84 and tried the sole sushi market but profit is very small considering the time it takes to gather the materials. I'm not asking for something to hand out large amount of gil for no effort, I understand I have to work for a good profit.

I just thought there would be no harm in asking maybe someone had something to share.

Thanks in advance.

[Byrthnoth]

Do Limbus. People buy my coins quickly at 8k each because they're too lazy to find the huge surplus of 5k coins sitting right next to me.

Bank a salvage tag during the week and do a double run one day, single the other. Alex are 10k+each on most servers, can get 75-95 + possible linen (50-99) per run. 1 rvb during the week is enough to support 3 salvages, as well.

Edit: Added bonus, if you find 1 person buying they'll likely need a *ton*, can just sell them directly rather than bazaaring.

[Ratatapa]

if i stopped buying crysta from click and buy my account will auto deactivate?

aka SE cant come back in months and say like uou owe us 200$ pay or we take your stuff?

Gonna add to this, you can also sell the 25/35s you don't need either to people for 2-3M each.

It'll auto-disconnect, I'm pretty sure. I don't use Click and Buy though and just buy Crista monthly.

I dunno why this cracked me up so much.

[Draylo]

a lvl 41 rdm can solo Genbu lol

[Byrthnoth]

It's true though. I can sell anything that's remotely difficult to find for 50% mark-up easily.

I wish I had that kind of luck.
