Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[dasva]

Yeah part of that is high lvl fishers are more hardcore (or easier to bot) the hard item than the one for dipper which iirc is harvesting or somethign stupid like that lol. About the same on bahamut with falcorr generally being a bit higher... but it fluxuates a bit

[Rionel]

So how would I fix the fact that Falcorr can't use Fantod/Jettura if I'm using spellcast?

Any suggestions?

[Taim Meich]

Only on certain mobs. Doing any high tier voidwatch and you'll want to keep body. Adaberk over either though.
Yes. With something else like AF2+2 during Restraint Down

Twilight over Ares? 3Str/Vit > 24Att? Maybe on top tier shit where you need more Accuracy I guess. Valk/Shadow are similar to Ares, I doubt Twilight could beat a good augmented Valk/Shadow (Edit: Unless you need the accuracy, which on stuff like Kala or Rex, you likely will)

While I was thinking on the hard VW stuff, I actually didn't consider Ares's... which, as you say, will probably be much better on most other mobs.

Oh, and Warrior +2 legs are almost as good as Ogier's, and possibly better if you're fully capped on acc (Bravura user...)

Current sets:

TP:
Widowmaker/Pole/ /Rav
Zelus/Rav/Rav/Brutal
Adaburk/Rav+2/Rajas/Blitz
Atheling/Goading/Rav+2/Rav +2

Upheval:
Widowmaker/Pole/ /Rav
Twilight/Fort/Triumph/Brutal
Adaburk/War+1/Rajas/Pyrosoul
Atheling/Warwolf/Rav+2/Heca

No Terra's Pearls on the AH, the soil pearls are way overpriced. I will see if I can get Terra Pearl and Terrasoul Ring synergized over the weekend. (Might as well try for a Vulcan's Pearl while I am at it.)

There are no Tjukurrpa Medals on the AH. I did happen to get an Apathy Gorget when doing Bastok VW the other day (also got the Rancor Collar), would that be better than Fortitude Torque?

Fortitude is a really solid choice for Upheaval, I'm not sure Apathy will be better. I've only seen one Tjukurrpa in Ragnarok AH, and probably the next one sold will surpass the 2M of the first one, so... It's a hard NM, and probably the drop isn't spectacular, either.

[Dathus]

Is there ACTUALLY a skill-up food for crafting or am I just hearing rumors?

Bumping for this. Also, looking to gear my mule for Dynamis as a Proc bitch on DNC. What would be a good set to use it as a duo with a THF?

Not *100%* sure, but if you do /pet "fantod" <t> instead of //fantod it should pick it up.

Worst case,
//sc set readysic
/raw /pet "Fantod" <t>
and then back to normal gear manually. (//sc set tp, after a suitable delay)

[Rehn]

A what-if question: say I somehow get coruscanti/lux, would evis be the ws of choice or would exen beat it out anyway?

yeah, i guess i should have had a "prices may vary from server to server" disclosure, but i didn't think falcor would be cheaper than yuly anywhere. on odin falcor is 140k/12, dipper is 110k/12. the funny part is, after a quick ffxiah check, falcor jugs are cheaper to make. lesser chigoes are still 20k/1 260k/12 and you need 2 for the synth. abaia are only 30k atm. at 110k/12 dippers you actualy lose 10k unless you HQ or do it with synergy, while falcor would net a small profit even on NQs.

[grevenilvec75]

For WAR, is it worth using resolution in abyssea? Or should I stick with g.axe and do Raging Rush? If resolution, then what would best atma setup be (for overall damage of course, I know it can't crit but you should use RR anyway)

BST on Quetz seem to have gone over to Falcorr and it's now the default when folks are doing anything where they're looking for a drop. For straight damage, it seems to be Falcorr, Gerard or Gorefang.

I'm skilling up Cooking on Cloudy Wheat Broth at the moment - cheap ingredients, good skillup rate and I can use Gooey Gerard afterwards. Score.

I probably should change more pieces but assuming kriegsmesser vs Widowmaker, better off doing raging unless you have MS up.

Pankration, anything specific I should know about for Diablo cage when you're the leader?

First time I ever got my pet holding a position (usually someone has their unbeatable lvl50 pet there 24/7 which I use to lose against to grind XP), and first thing I realized is that you can't level more than once, so I'm having to keep removing him every two fights to ding, then resubmit it.

Actually, scratch that. Apathy looks like the best option with high acc. I just bought one, in fact

You don't have to resubmit it, just let it keep winning, but it wont level until you take it out or it loses. It can gain multiple levels at once. The autogenerated mobs should always be within 1 level (above or below) compared to the current level of your mob.

again, juuuuust wanna make sure i'm on the right track.

Can anyone let me know if I’m on the right track or if I’m way off for TP & Onslaught sets for my Bst

Anything in ()’s means I don’t have it yet but working for them.

I was thinking

--TP Set--
Gutter / Farsh / x / (Hagneia)
Oce Head / Houyi’s gorget / Brutal / Suppa
Toci /(Brego Gloves) / Raja / (Epona)
Athling / Twilight / Byakko / (Ryuga Sune-Ate)

--Onslaught--
Gutter / Farsha / x / (demonry core)
Oce H / Shadow Gorget / ??? / ???
Toci / (Brego Gloves) / Raja / Airy
Ferine / Shadow belt / Byakko / Emp+2

I know Farsha probably isn’t the best idea for offhand…but I got it to 90 and just pretending it’s worth it for the time being.
As for onslaught earrings, I was probably just gonna fill with DEX earrings.

…so…am I doing it horribly wrong?

**edit**
Sorry wanted to add my Byakko’s haidate has StoreTP+3 and crit+1 (might try to get better stats)

[Radec]

again, juuuuust wanna make sure i'm on the right track.

How much is the attack boost from using Onslaught?

TP:
Ammo: Potestas
Neck: Unless I'm missing something with axes and some largenumber xHit (considering the Hagneia), Rancor Collar/Agasaya's or the like should be better
Oce+1 head or AF3+2 legs to get true 25% - Oce+1 ideal, esp if you get a better (4/4, 4/5) augment on haidate.

WS:
Ammo: Still Potestas
Neck: Justicar
Ears: Aesir, Brutal
Rings: Rajas/Epona
Back: Atheling
Waist: Anguinus, Maybe Windbuffet

Unless the +Attack from Onslaught aftermath is significant though(Edit, Found it, +15%, yeah, stay with onslaught), I'd suggest 5/5 Ruinator and something like:

axe/axe/---/potestas
twilight/+FTP/brutal/aesir
toci/AF3+2/rajas/epona
atheling/+FTP/Avant(+1) or Ogier/AF3+2

Does "Enhance 'resist paralyze' effect" work against ice spikes? As to say, help get paralyzed less from ice spikes?

[Xorn]

Fastest way to get level 3 Grauberg fame?

It raises your chance to resist the enfeeble, whether partially or completely (though the relevance of partial resists vs spikes is pretty minimal), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't lower your paralyze rate once the enfeeble is applied.

Well the thing is you will HQ yuly. In fact you will HQ alot given how low of skill it is. You can T2 yuly at just 90something skill. You need 110 to just T1 flacorr. Also the 2nd ingredient matters a little to. shellbug 1k/12. Buffalo meat 25k/12 and gelatin 10k/12
