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

[Axiaon]

When does SE do it's payments, tomorrow, or Tuesday? I want to know because I have a 30 day trial I want to use.

[Byrthnoth]

No, but there seems to be some limitation on either chest repop time or how long they will stay up if you keep killing monsters.

[Kalmado]

what skill level for combat is the minimum to somewhat reliably hit mobs in abyssea? RR/C&D for acc atma

[dasva]

Depends on the zone about what you mean by semi reliably. My old drg alt learned things like full swing on nms in la thiene hitting with decent enough acc to many it not horribly painful. Without food

[Kalmado]

I'm @291 dagger for thf and skillups are becoming quite rare on Seaboard Vultures in Mis so I was thinking of heading to abyssea.

Is there any refresh gear other than wivre hairpin, subligar, moonshade earring for COR?

Nothing permanent as far as I know. All of the others are latent/enchantment. The most reasonable ones being oneiros grip and roller's ring.

Mythic quest, on the fight stage for Yagrush, never bothered unlocking Mystic Boon, so does Mystic Boon need to be unlocked before doing this or am I given access to it in the fight?

What is the order of "checks" in casting a spell.

Precast = Fast Cast and....?

Beginning cast = INT,Macc, mab?

Just before cast goes off: Haste and?

When does conserve MP get considered?

[Kipling]

Is there a good JA proc camp in Xarc?

[fantasticdan]

There's good EP one in the back tunnels/caves where one of the TE's is; a bunch of nin/thf/rng mobs, a rng nm, and a bst/bst nm that spawns right outside it. It's a popular camp that usually has a person or two at it thou.

There are 3 worthwhile times to consider.

Before Casting - Fastcast, anything to do with cast time (<magian staff> I's, blmaf3+2 hat, etc)
During Casting - DT, Spell interrupt gear - Spellcast doesn't have a good way to handle this, and it's largely neglected.
Instant of Casting - INT MAB Macc ConsMP Haste - anything that relates to spell DMG, Cost, or recast (<magian staff> II's)

If you *really* don't want to go unlock it, try the fight on the test server.

That being said.. go unlock it, the lvl99/glow versions do not grant WS access on test server unless you're done the quest, I don't imagine the dmg/delay only versions are different.

Remember you need a new club, don't withdraw the old one or will reset progress.

Precast: FC's effect on cast time, possibly Addle
Time of cast: Anything affecting damage (aside from Blaze/Ice/Shock Spikes and t2 Enspells, see wiki for details), Conserve MP, FC/Haste recast reductions

How long does it take to typically transfer accounts to SE account?

[Radec]

No more than 10mins, just did both of mine.

[Yugl]

Is vigilance mantle+1 used for Shijin Spiral? Hoping to sell if not.

I've been skilling up proc weapons for WAR in abyssea since ~210. I have the benefit of Retaliation and Aggressor, but you should have little to no issue hitting stuff at 291. Start w/ either Visions or Scars zones and use MC as your third atma and you'll be fine.

No set date anymore. It's per 30 days.

[pancakesandsex]

I've been messing around with impact lately on rdm. Does the stat down effect from impact apply even if the damage is resisted to all hell?

Wiki says it gives stat down -20% based on the time it's cast, how does that actually work? Is it time of day based, or day of the week based?
