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

[Radec]

What's the minimum number of people needed to clear the city paths of VW (and possibly a little further) ? And what jobs recommended ? I'm hoping the number is around 3, we're all flexible with the jobs we can bring.

If you're all maxed out on temps and treat each fight more or less as a zerg w/out worries about procs, something like SCH WAR WAR could probably do it, mstrikes+embrava everything. SCH/BLM for things with bad TP Moves like voidwrought, otherwise /rdm or /whm for haste. Fana before you die but not from the start, as mobs will take more than 60seconds.

Resheph is 100% drop on revitalizer, and/or get everyone a MMM09 tabula for resets.

Beyond City paths, mobs get a lot more HP, it's not impossible to kill them certainly but once you're on jeuno T1 shouts seem to be more common.

If you still need the temp KI's, invite a few more people so you have a chance at getting some procs. Any red!!+Strong Blitz can get white to 100%, only need to do ~40% dmg during a blitz to cap white.

Edit:If you have NIN WAR BLM WHM BRD RNG, you have a very good chance at being able to cap out most mobs, and should be able to kill everything in cities as well.

Max out your proc chances with nin/dnc, blm/drk, whm/sch, rng/cor

How feasible would a kclub annihilator RNG be for some lower tier (T3 spam etc) voidwatch as a DD(BRD+COR at least)? I have determined that it isn't hard at all to cap accuracy on at least jeuno/zilart T3s, curious if it would be a competitive DD. Obviously not for efficiencies sake, as you will be wasting tons of gil on bullets.

Attack +4
TP Bonus +25

Best earring for WS for Twashtar/Almace/Vere?

Thanks for the info ! I should have specified that we're all starting out from scratch (we're terrible people who never got into VW until now), but you covered that anyway. Cheers again.

What are the optimal rolls now for DDs in VW? I've heard different opinions in shout groups, some say chaos/fighters, some still say chaos/miser's, some even say chaos/tacticians. Assuming the DDs in the cor party are using discipline, is miser's still worth using? or are DDs better off getting rid of discipline while I roll fighter's instead of miser's. chaos/fighter's is an inconvenience for me, since i always try to keep up miser's/tacticians for tp for wildfire (have to do 4 rolls instead of 3). some math on this would be great. Basically it comes down to 45 tp return, or 24% DA with an extra dd atmacite (assuming 11 rolls, got DA amount from GE wiki), and just looking at that comparison I'd think the DA+different atmacite would be better, but not sure.

[Celebrindor]

Bind lands all the time even at 75 lol

It was soloable using Bind at 75.. <.<

See now I feel like quite the gimp dumbass ^^

[Churchill]

If I felt it was actually worth it (I don't) then I'd swap my atmacites to Coercion/Latitude/Valiant, I'd still have COR's roll Chaos/Fighters either way if you are capped delay, and I wouldn't complain about having Miser's if I didn't have a BRD or Embrava.

[Skeelo]

Does latitude really beat Depths? Guess it depends on job?

Proc'n white in CoP dynamis is just 100% random without a subjob? DNC99

edit: wtf proc'd white AS SOON AS i tab'd back in after i posted this kid you not

If you're all brand-new to voidwatch, your first thing to do is kill either sandy-T1 and get KI, then Bastok T2(Both T1's first, but this as soon as possible) for KI - this will give you fanatic's drinks and fool's drink which will make later fights quite a bit easier.

Trying to get nin/blu base af feet from vunk. Any suggestions? Been capping azure/pearl and trying to get amber to around 100 but seen maybe 5 total gold chest in 2 hours.

Edit: and of corse 3 hours in get first chest with 3 feet... drg, cor, smn >.>

[Radec]

Skip azure, I'm sure you have an incredible amount of stones built up. Amber to ~100, focus on Pearl to ~50 then just whenever it happens to come, kill for 2hrs, exit for time, repeat.

[Aylee]

new characters lol they have about 4 stones left ><

[dasva]

Kill more and faster then. Also don't get cap azure. Just get 100-120ish. That way you will still get TEs but your chests will be split about 50/50

[altwight]

Does the poison tick on Mandau increase as its level increases?

Took me 7 hours of slaughter to get my blu feet. And i kill fast. As with anything else, shit's random. Enjoy your personal hell.

Hand and leg abjurations drop off the Seductive/etc. fight Caturae (into the pool) and off Tier 1 CoP and ToAU VWNMs.
Body abjurations drop off Provenance Watcher (pool and chest).
Feet (and head?) Abjurations drop off Legion monsters.

[Terravcota]

Need to get my WAR mule a GTK for red triggers. Easiest/fastest way to get that from Feast of Swords? The last time I did it was like 2005 when you just talked to the NPC for the wooden katana...

so expect to never get feet/head then. gotcha. they aren't as sexy as those hands anyways. Thanks!
