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

**cdgreg** · 2012-03-31 21:45

As a career mage (blm, whm, rdm) which new abjs should I be after? I feel like I'm wasting a number of stones not knowing what I want and what is junk.

Where is Iaso armor from?

**JustaWAR** · 2012-03-31 23:48

HQ lenitive abjuration gear. The legs/hand abjurations are from t1-2 toau/cop VW, the rest are probably in provenence.

Why you do this SE?!

Next question: How do BST and SMN gear for their pet's TP moves/melee? I'm sure I have BST pets down at Haste/PDT/EVA during TP. I ask for spellcast purposes and I don't have either leveled, so I need specific instructions.

**fantasticdan** · 2012-04-01 01:32

Well for bst pet TP moves, you can set it up like this:

Spoiler: show

I got that from Xilk's .xml a while back and added in a few missing TP moves from pets I was using, but it's definitely not complete.

EDIT: If you were asking what to actually wear during said TP moves, for bst there really isn't much. There's af3 hands/cape, augmented pet: attack/acc mini-expansion stuff, and that's about it. And the latter isn't worth the inventory space.

**Yugl** · 2012-04-01 01:37

From the looks of it, you only change one piece of gear with that rule. Do BST only change hands for TP moves? Do they use a single set across all TP attacks?

Also, I believe you can shorten the rule by using

<if type="PetCommand" TargetType="MONSTER">

Well like I said there really isn't much to use lol, the hands are just for the TP bonus since I'm already carrying them. If I ever bother to get the af3 cape I guess I would put that in there as well.

Even if there were some pet: attack gears or whatever to wear thou (which there aren't outside of those random augment rings/earrings), it wouldn't really matter. Jug pet TP moves are pretty weak, it's certainly a damage loss to even bother using a non-debuff/utility/aoe move if both you and your pet were meleeing, since it incurs the JA delay on both you and your pet. The hippogryph's backheel for example does the damage of roughly 2-3 auto-attacks, and that's by far the strongest attack out of the pets I frequently use (hippo, ladybug, slug, leech). For the most part, you're just using these moves for the debuffs, or to get threat on some adds.

As for that rule, if it does work it would also trigger on the fight command, but I'm assuming you can get around that with:

<if type="PetCommand" TargetType="MONSTER" NOTspell="Fight">

or something like that.

**Yugl** · 2012-04-01 02:50

Ok, looking at radsources, I see this:

Pet TP moves are Type=Monster
Stuff like Fight/Heel are Type=PetCommand

So the rule would be

<if type="MONSTER" TargetType="Self">

Also, thanks for that detail. I'll probably make the sets like <TP Offense> <TP Debuff> <TP Heal> <TP Buff>

Are SMN sets the same way?

**GeneyusTitan** · 2012-04-01 03:04

For the fishing discussion. He has ebisu. I have skilled up from 78-84 on Haks but now I am only fishing up rusty stuff. That's why I am led to believe they changed something. I'll prob just go skill up a bit and see if that changes it since I am not having this problem on the other mule which is at 100 skill.

**Raen Ryong** · 2012-04-01 06:45

Situation:

1. had Security Token
2. linked I and my sister's accounts to my one Square Enix ID
3. cancelled Security Token
4. made a new playonline account to be my whm mule and stuff, on my one Square Enix ID (same as above)
5. No satchel on mule

Is there any way I can correct this? On the site it only lets me activate or deactivate, saying I have no token active.

It would require buying and adding a new token.

Also, is BG celebrating April 1st by turning the word for the #1 into the word pony?

Someone has a weird fetish....

edit: nvm, it let me type someone and didn't turn it into somepony. There are some weird posts in the vanafest thread then....

Can anyone throw me a random easy to get lvl99 WHM Cure/Refresh set? Just lvl'd WHM for duoing purposes and don't plan on using it for much else.

Sorry about to head out for lunch so I cant list everything, but the big thing people often miss if you're not trying to cap 50% cure pot with eaf+2 body is Facio Bliaut. Can get a decently high cure potency for "free" if you use the mule a lot for abyssea kills.

also there's a list of gear here you can sift through too:

So I have a mule account on one SE account, and my other accounts on another. Is there anyway of merging them to a single SE account?

What different gears are you actually planning on using in these sets? I don't really get it. There are no pet: cure potency gears available to bst, and nothing that would effect buffs, except maybe the af3 gloves, which you would be using for any TP move anyway. You should also keep in mind most of the debuff moves (even the ones that have a damage component, and you would expect to be magic or breath type) are physical and can flat out miss, like choke breath or noisome powder.

As for that rule, I'll try it out next time I'm on bst.

**Yugl** · 2012-04-01 15:00

I was going to just put the rule there (And link the sets via baseset) just in case SE develops BST in the future. I can also remove if that seems unlikely though.

You can authorize the account, then get it unlinked. Depends a lot on who you get on the phone. I managed this once.

For GoV/FoV areas, if I cleave a bunch of mobs down, will it lower the chance of a chest to spawn?
