Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Siccmade]

Thanks, at least now I can profit off Dyna and get some Vulcan's.

[Midnightjade]

Thanks, after trading more I got to fame level 2. Here's hoping I get a cool dark ring or a hairpin as I slaughter many many funguars today.

Does Konschat fame affect rewards from Sturdy Pyxides? I never really farmed them at all and just got back a couple months ago.

I should look into some Dark Rings and a Hairpin but have been putting it off. I know the right lights balance but want to max my chances.

Thanks!

[Byrthnoth]

Nope~!

Well, it hasn't been disproven as a possibility, but it is incredibly unlikely that it does. He means that he will need to kill a lot of funguars to get that many shrooms, which will give him a lot of changes to get a good dark ring or hairpin.

Fame is tedius to build in that zone, but I found it easiest to take some pictures of the T1 VNM. Then just do the martello quest and turn a picture in everytime you go to the zone.

[Midnightjade]

Great, thanks! Farming rings and a pin is going to be tedious. Having to build fame first would have made it doubly so.

I have the Moonshade TP Bonus/Att earring, wondering if it would have use for Namas Arrow while I build to x2 STR earrings?

Relic's static TP and all but I'm not sure how the math on the TP Bonus actually works.

Another option is the 8agi 1ratt 1racc earring set. Altdorfs and Wilhelms.

For OAX weapons, does it check DA trait first, and if it procs, ignores the OAX... Or, does it check the OAX, and if it procs, ignores DA?

[Byrthnoth]

The former, I think. WAR with Ridill has more 2-swing rounds than you would predict otherwise.

[Toth]

Silly question I know but having finally gotten Skyblaze atmacite, does the lightning damage + effect Thunder spells? This has totally slipped my mind and I am pretty sure it does.

[Kurp]

Best all-purpose rings/earrings/belt for BLM idle if I don't have Dark rings or refresh Moonshade? I'm using PDT with refesh Heka's set, Serpentes set, subligar now.

Is there any particular reason why you would build an "Occasionally Attacks Twice" Magian Bow over a "Occasionally Deals Double Damage" Magian Bow?

The ODDD bow seems easier to get and would be worth using more than the OAT bow; not to mention has a higher DMG rating. I feel like I'm missing something here.

[Massimo]

Occasionally attacks twice gives double TP as well, whereas double damage is "just" double damage.

[Byrthnoth]

TP gain and proc rate. I do not know what the proc rate on the ODDD bow is, but there is no guarantee it will be the same as the OAT bow (~40%). If it mirrors the proc rate of the DA weapons (whose slot it seems to fill) then it would only have about an 11% proc rate. It seems unlikely to me that it does though, because that would make it waaaay worse than the OAT bow.

OAT bow (600 delay) is also pretty easy to 4-hit, eh? If you shoot ~twice with it (on average) you will be WSing again. Keep in mind that you're stacking arrow damage on top of the bow base damage, so the difference between them is less than it appears.

[Talint]

Hmm. Thanks!

[Aja]

Nvm. Found some info on this.

[Massimo]

So, say I have 6 characters at the moment, but only 4 are able to be saved/listed in POL. Is there any way to save the last two (perhaps with a seperate/copied installation?) without having to log them in via guest login every time?

Or perhaps a POL mod to allow more than four.

[Darkmagi]

Have been asking for something like this for years, it can't be something impossible. Highly interested.

[Foldypaws]

The former, I think. WAR with Ridill has more 2-swing rounds than you would predict otherwise.

To expand on this, order of multi-attack checking seems to go QA > TA > DA > OAX, for all X > Normal attack round. Any of them happening precludes all later events from happening. I don't know where Zanshin (without hasso) falls, but they were historically shown to be mutually exclusive.

And then on a completely separate check are things like Kick Attacks, and Jailer weapons.

Excluding Empy / Relic / Mythic whats the best GAxe for WAR? With 5/5 Upheaval.

[Tanag]

What are the easiest Abyssea NMs to duo/trio for the MNK +2 items?

Just came back and I figure that should be my first goal after 99.
