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

[NynJa]

AFAIK having more than 2 pieces just increases proc rate, only need 2 to get the effect to proc. THFs is double - triple attack damage right, on all 3 hits yes? Is 1420~ a normal sneak attack for you? (I'm no THF, at all)

Triple damage on all 3 hits if Triple attack procs.

I have soloed that using Falcorr to tank, but i think any lvl99 pets is fine. Take care when 5 adds spawn as your pet will run back to you. Use stay or fight to avoid hitting by -ga spells from the adds. You can also engage the big moogle from maximum melee distance to avoid the knock back.

Awesome thanks! Trying to avoid doing that stupid mission before to get fight access again.

Okay, does the direct credit card payment constantly spit out error 601 for anyone else? I swear I've been trying to reactivate my account for like a good 6 hours total over the past couple days, and I'm really losing my patience here. It doesn't help that both Clickandbuy (My account got frozen over some bullshit birthdate issue and I'm still waiting on a reply, oh man this'll make a great story someday) and SquareEnix have some of the worst fucking customer service I've ever had to deal with. Oh yeah, check out this awesome excerpt:

Agent Alfred P: Do these cards have Verified by Visa on them? Just wondering.
You: Yes
Agent Alfred P: That may be your issue.
You: Isn't VbV required for online purchases?
Agent Alfred P: I've encountered this issue before. I would suggest removing this feature from your debit card.
Agent Alfred P: No it isn't always required. It depends on the website.
You: I see. I guess I'll try that then.
Agent Alfred P: I would suggest removing the feature and waiting 24 hours and try updating your billing information again.
Agent Alfred P: And if you still have the issue, give us a contact back and well proceed further.
Agent Alfred P: Are there any different issues I can assist you with right now?
You: I tried an American Express at one point and that didn't work, is there an equivalent program for those cards?
Agent Alfred P: One moment please.
Agent Alfred P: American Express isn't an accepted payment method.
Agent Alfred P: Only Visa and Mastercard.
You: Why is American Express one of the choices then? lol
Agent Alfred P: This is the information referred to from my supervisor. I'll look into the matter further though.

Seriously, can you tell a more transparent lie? What the fuck? AE isn't a accepted payment method? Then they wouldn't list it on the menu, you dimwit. Fuck I mad.
Yeah I just needed to vent a bit.

Oh yeah I went through the trouble of disabling VbV and the card still doesn't fucking work. Jesus christ. I bet that "24 hour" horseshit is just there so they wouldn't have people calling back immediately telling them they're full of shit, too.

I've always always always had trouble paying with credit card. Same error. CC company says it's on SE's end, SE says it's on the CC end. I've had to switch to C&B for all my accounts because it just doesn't work.

Does Firestorm boost Wildfire dmg?

It can

Quickest way to build Abyssea - Grauberg fame and how long will it roughly take to get fame level 3 for Brugaire's Ambition quest to get Atma of the Ducal Guard?

I think I just proc'd a mob with Haste Samba.

[Byrthnoth]

Was it magic or JA proc time? There have been cases of enfeebles wearing off and proccing monsters in the past during magic proc time.

[Snprphnx]

Trying to get setup on the official forums. But it isn't allowing me to save my main character. It will highlight it, but when i hit save changes, it deselects and doesnt save

[detlef]

Hit the star.

[Snprphnx]

Hit the star.

1. That worked, thanks!

2. WTF is SE doing with that idea

[Martel]

I think I just proc'd a mob with Haste Samba.

I've seen this happen as well! Was weird as hell. Let me see if I can find the screenshot...

EDIT: Meh, can't find my SS. But in my case, it was JA time when it happened.

Max distance for WS, Ranged attack, and Ranged WS?

[stewie]

Lowest amount of people to kill Lord Asag? Seems like just throwing SMN at it would be the best idea.

Do you keep guildpoints when changing now? I Have 60k fishing points im saving for when my skill gets high enough for KI but would like to change to lolWW to get 110,
Thanks

Yes.

[dasva]

Max distance for WS, Ranged attack, and Ranged WS?

Varies alot by mob size... but most ws seem to be just outside of melee range so like around 4. Ranged attack is about 25ish now and ranged ws is a little less than that

In addition to the yes, it is important to note that you have to wait until the next JP midnight to be allowed to turn GPs in. But, you could turn in fishing GP>Switch to WW. You can also change more than once a day and use points without penalty. I was recently working goldsmithing GPs, realized I needed an alchemy KI so I turned in GS GP>switched to alchemy>bought KI>switched back to GS

[Chocobunnies]

It can

Oh ok thanks, went to VW the other day as whm for the first time and had a wildefire cor in the pt, wasn't sure if it did anything or not.

[Snprphnx]

Max distance for WS, Ranged attack, and Ranged WS?

i think is normally under 5 for WS, max 25 for ranged attacks, and just under 21 for ranged WS
