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

[Radec]

Used to be you could get single drops from single mobs, not anymore.

Shout for 4-5ish smn to do #7 is your best bet, or show up in jp time.

1 party balanced 3DD + 3 Support can clear basically anything 1-7, but joe random scrub isn't going to do that as easily as smn-style.

[PinkiePie]

Dang, there goes my hopes..

with my schedule as is it's tough to make the JP times, and my past attempts at shouting for members has been rather depressing at best.
Thanks for the info though.

they took that out? wow that's harsh.

[PinkiePie]

Is there any at all that can be duo'd or at least trio'd?

I remember going into flux 1 assuming it's the easiest one and garuda was taking 5 years to kill 1 of those crabs...I was like...yeah...this isn't going to happen.

[Rehn]

I usually spam flux 5 for that slim chance at forban cape. WAR BRD WHM can clear with little trouble if WAR is well geared, but any good DD should work. Baraera makes their hurricane breaths a joke, otherwise they can potentially 1 shot you when they are at 75%+ HP. Boss hydra under 10% goes under some kind of spell spam mode and repeatedly buffs itself with phalanx stoneskin blink... makes it annoying, so be sure to keep that in mind.

Can't help you though if you meant with 2-3 SMNs.

[Radec]

Maybe 2-3 smn on #7 but can't say I've ever tried it that way. I've done 5 with mnk+2box'd rdm, was.. interesting sometimes, but went 3/3 on it to get my last coins.

[Talint]

I feel like I'm trading dynamis currency wrong.

I really have to go to the three goblins in Beadeaux, Oztroja, and Davoi individually; trade them only 100 pieces of that particular beastman zone, one set at a time?

There really isn't a more efficient way to do this?

[arus2001]

Could always try to shout and convert. Some sellers may be more comfortable trying to pawn off singles than a 100 since smaller amounts are more commonly used for other purposes.

2 questions concerning Animated Great Ax:

1: does it cast any spells? recently did a bunch of spear fights and it casted thunder3, thundaga3, and shock spikes, but it wasn't listed as casting anything on BKwiki, otherwiki, or anything else i found. wondering if the same is true of the Gax

2: can dire whorl be absorbed by shadows or third eye/siegan?

It does cast. I can't remember exactly what but it definitely casts. They all do. They generally cast T3 single target + T3 aga of 1 element plus an enhancing and/or debuff spell ga of the same element. Like Scythe casts Blindga, Knuckles cast Hastega and Longsword casts Dispelga.

You can get an idea of what they will cast by what their satelite weapons cast. I did a Greataxe not so long back but I can't remember what it cast, I do remember it Meta'ing me in the face for 2.3k though!


Dire Whorl is absorbed by 3 shadows but not by Third Eye.

[shaggnix]

thnx jem, i imagine the pattern for them all is a particular element T3, T3aga, spikes/stoneskin/aquaviel/blink but i just haven't fought many animateds and the info out there is all obsolete/non-existant. gonna try and do a friends trial 2boxing thf and rdm and him on war. probably best to go /nin and rdm/blm to stun the aga

[Sute]

I've heard you can set up a MMM to get a revitalizer, does anyone know the runes needed?

[Draylo]

Can anyone explain how I was charged 12.95 for my account, 11 days later I'm charged 7 dollars? My other account was charged on the 30th and now on their SE account management it says the next charge will be on April 27th, how? Feel like I'm getting screwed somehow cause I don't check my bank account all the time lol.

[Kalmado]

Bravura or Ukon? I'm a casual player that started fresh a lil while ago now. I do not belong to a LS and I just do things with my mule whm. Which would I benefit from more? Or would a different relic for a different job suit me better?

[Churchill]

do whatever you want/enjoy?

Ukon is the best though, the best there ever was. To kill them all, etc.

[Kalmado]

That's kind of what I was expecting to hear. If you fall into the category of casual player like myself, I suppose we're at the point where it doesn't really matter and it's all about what the player wants whether it be a Claustrum or a Ukon.

[Limlight]

Did I miss something and they upped the drop rate for king pop items from NQ's? It seems like everyone and their mother are shouting to sell king pop items now.

[Aja]

Does anyone use the plugin PetTP and are able to get the position of it on screen to move? I have changed it multiple times and reload it but it never changes. I also asked on Windower forums to no avail.

you can solo bravura (well, the currency anyway) in 3-5 months if you 2box dyna everyday, but doing the aby-nms for ukon will require a small group, if that impacts your decision at all.

[Darkmagi]

You can also buy a 90 ukon for less than a bravura if you have no friends(do ukon).
