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

[arus2001]

Yeah, alchemy got the shit end of the stick when it comes to synergy skilling. Not sure how adaman bullets would fare, but doubt they'd go too far beyond 80 even if they did.



Far as Legion gear and possible missing items go, SE dropped a hint that having titles would somehow reflect gear the NPC vendor offers. So, while I know some have done the higher fights via trophy drops, I guess that alone isn't enough since each chamber seems to have a title associated with it, which I guess means a full 3 wave clear?

Deciding on 3rd atmacite to use in VW on BLM. Currently using Destruction (MAB+15, MP+100, Fast Cast +3) and Shrewd (-DT 10%, MAB+10, Macc+15, Enmity -10)

Are the Magic Attack+15 atmacites comparable to Curses (INT+10, MAB+10, Macc+5) in terms of damage? ie Skyblaze or Glaciers (Thunder or Ice Magic Attack+15)

Thanks~

[Septimus]

Unlike other VW mobs, the ones in Provenance can drop items into the common treasure pool (that everyone can lot upon) when they die. Instead of Riftworn Pyxis appearing after battle, there are several Glittering Troves scattered around the lobby of Provenance where you can pick up your loot. Most of the items that Provenance Watcher drops can be either dropped directly or found in the Glittering Trove, the exceptions seem to be Meteor and Arise scrolls which have thus far only been shown as direct drops.

The magic attack atma will wreck the straight mab/int atma for damage easily, for that one element.

Avatar says you're probably taru though, I'd recommend a HP or PDT|MDT for 3rd. Currently using Shrewd, Valiant(HP+10% All attributes +15 Accuracy+5 Haste+5%) and Provenance(Damage taken -10% Occasionally negates MP cost Auto-Reraise Sphere: Reraise) to allow use of negate-dmg items like archon/shadow gear, since -DT's will be capped easily (Terra's, Twilight Neck, -20 from atma, shell5 is 50MDT 45PDT already)

The negate-MP isn't infrequent, eyeballed only, but seems to be between 5-10% at least.

Depends on server. Those bullets are the best and rarely up. Occasionally will see people so hard up they will shout for people to make them so probalby a decent market there while skilling up

Nefarious collar seems to be nosediving in price. Is there some new item i didn't know about or is woe not a pain in the ass while solo now?

WoE easier/more popular now you get 5 temps and can skillup? All new neck items suck, looks like.

[Dotsudoku]

WoE fever. Prices always fall for a time after updates to the event, and resume their ridiculous prices after the items fall back into obscurity.

I'm skilling GA (200-213) on my 87 Warrior with my Whm mule in sky (grounds tome) on weapons eating Elshena and have only done 13 levels in about an hour. Is this normal? Should I move to a different camp? This seems like it's taking longer than it should.

DT setup, regen atmas, /dnc. Go pull 5+ mandies in attowha|tahrongi|altep|miscoast and retal them to death, repeat as needed.

Ah ok. I thought that skill level was too low. I'll give it a shot.

Is this accurate for skill up foods? Other wiki disagrees in places (Says Stuffed Pitaru is not for offensive magic..)

Any truth to TH not working with Defending Ring drop rates?

[Neisan]

The best I can tell you is either Earring or Ring will drop 100% of the time. I find in unlikely TH affects it, and Mee Deggi/Quu Domi share a similar problem.

Ill give the bullets a shot and see what happens. And thanks for the info Septimus.

Also while im thinking about it, does anyone bother with the daily reward goblin thing? If so which dial do you spam?

[Rehn]

Spammed 4, eventually got jug of monkey wine (tinnin trig) while my main goal was novio.

Since either D Ring or Pixie Earring is guaranteed to drop (unless everyone has earring and that's the item that loads), I don't see how it'd help.
