Random Question Thread XXVI: The Rise and Fall of the RQT

[ryskar]

Should I start my ranged attacks in snapshot gear on rng? Have a skopos jerkin with snapshot +3 and was considering trying for a better one if it's worth it.

Yes. And I wouldn't bother as af3 body is better

[Nitrous24]

Any apoc drk mind posting their sets (TP (scythe), Entropy, Cata, TP(GSword), Resolution) for me? Getting apoc monday and know i have quite a few upgrades i still need. Just trying to get an idea of where i stand.

[pancakesandsex]

Any point to raising summoning magic skill over 500 or does everything cap at that like it does for enhancing?

[Aylee]

do too week tonberrys count towards hate for rancor collor/back?

[Guitarman]

yeah.

[noodles355]

Whilst I agree, to build on this: Only on slots that aren't required for STP, as a Rapid Shot proc will ruin you X-hit.

Ok, trying to get into deeper part of den of rancor to fish up zebra eel for GP and cockblocked by gate.
Shitwiki says you can light the lanterns with any of rancor flame/crimson rancor/blue rancor to open the gate. Well I got a crimson rancor on me, but selecting the lanturn, and trading the crimson rancor to it to jack shit. What am I doing wrong?

[Reg]

i dont remember the map you are at on top of my head but i know what you are doing wrong! you are simply on the wrong map. you have to go to the one north of elshimo uplands OP , the one where we used yo camp back at 75 cap on lizard and shit. once you are in, go right fall at the first hole you see (i know you need sneak not sure about invis) then run around until you find a pond with 2 scorps. thats where you can grt those.

As the other guy said you went in the wrong entrance. You won't need any lanterns or fancy gates.

Legs to Koga+2 unless you're getting marches.

[Omnipotent]

Legs to Koga+2 unless you're getting marches.

New character, working on higher tier dynamis access right now. Need couple more wins to get -1 access

[Neisan]

I just skipped -1 altogether since journeys are not terribly expensive, would probably run you around a mil depending on server from what I see. Guessing you don't have Usu and I cant' recommend an unaugmented byakko on anything tougher/inside, I would just stick to emp+2 until Koga is done.

[Omnipotent]

Alright, sounds like a plan. Thanks.

Second question that I believe wasn't answer before... can anyone use their handy dandy DPS calculator thing and see what magian axes...aside from relic status are the best damage axes for BST? I think DA+10 axes and a STR Axe is best combo, not sure.

[Nightfyre]

Ok made edited my Hi build with suggestions. Anything else i should move around?

http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/261408

Athos's Tabard, Thaumas legs/feet and possibly hands.

Also for Killing Jailer of Temperance (for farming torque) is there anyway a whm, blu, nin trio could kill it? Does it change its immunity after so long (time based) or after taking so much damage.

BLU and NIN can both solo without much trouble, trio will be easy.

Finally here is my nin tp build how does it look?
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/261553

Ugly, but you're doing it right. Rancor Collar as (usually) able.

EDIT: Consider upgrading a STR Arisui for non-Abyssea content.

[ryskar]

Thank you.


New question: I have Dynamis-Tavnazia access, but have never done the zone. I heard there's some kind of etiquette for Tav, like if there's already a party inside, people usually don't go in? I just want to make sure I'm not making a nuisance of myself while I'm there, would like to farm my -1 dancer legs. If all else fails I'll just do other zones to raise the gil for 20 extra journeys.

[Neisan]

The zone just isn't big enough to support several parties at once that's really about it.

[Radec]

Thank you.

That's it exactly - if you're just after dnc-1 though shouldn't be an issue, if you stay off JA mobs during JA time. -1 legs are only from EP's, so it's possible you won't run into comp at all if people are on clusters/leeches.

@ Ryskar and Omni - Forgotten journeys on Odin are available in mass for 10-15k http://www.ffxiah.com/item/3496/frgtn-journey . Probably be way better off farming elsewhere for gil and spending the whopping 200-250k for the additional 20 journeys. Calculate in the dynamis currency you would need to upgrade the NQ>+1 and you're probably much better off just buying the extra journeys.
