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

[Jem]

Is there any time(Pre-Ryunohige) where Drakesbane outside of Abyssea will beat Stardiver?

Hazarding a guess that against fodder where the attack penalty isn't hampering you and your crit rate is higher then Drakes should outdo it. But I'm no DRG etc.

I was doing Horns of War last night on my BST, and had Healing Staff drop. Last sale on my server was for 500k, but it's now the main ingredient in Nathushne, which is currently selling for 2mil-5mil for the NQ (no idea for the HQ). How much should I bazaar the Staff for? Maybe 1-1.5mil? 500k seems suicidally low.

I already have Tefnut Wand for my WHM (and Dryad Staff, for that matter), so if I was going to get anything else it would be ArkaIV. Not really needing a Nathushne for myself.

Thanks!

The other ingredients are cheap and a bunch of people have WW to 100. Just shout and get it made, then sell for 2-5 mil. Give them 50k or something.

I found my pet, faithful falcor, was missing alot fighting abyssea NM's like Flame Skimmer. Other than gear... is there something I need to do that would increase his accuracy? Does he attack based off of your axe skill? My skill is very low since i Just finished abyssea burning my BST. Just wondering since it was pretty muchb a wiff fest.

You've just picked one of the most evasive Abyssea NMs. As long as you have RR as one of your atmas, along with the corresponding DEX from cruor boosts, you should have capped acc on pretty much everything.

Good idea - I know a couple guys that can get it done. Thanks!

What Taim said. Flame Skimmer has pretty high Evasion and killing it as a new BST takes frickin forever. For leg seals, try Sirrush - much easier, especially if you have some PDT gear and Ducal Guard, and take a buddy along for procs.

Alright, good. When I saw constant wiffs I started to rage, I will definitely try Sirrush... any other quick tip NM's for seals for BST you recommend for the rest of my set? Thanks for all of the input.

[scaevola]

The periapts didn't work properly right on patch week that added voidwatch, there was a fix added shortly after.

I killed Bastok T2 without having killed Sandy T1 and got fana/fools, and this was only about a month ago.

It doesn't really matter because we all need to finish the cities one way or another, but T2 Bastok is specifically fana/fools and T1 Sandy is...whatever the other ones are.

i'm only gonna say that, even with grellow every time, you'll have 25+ rdm seals before you get 8 bst seals off sirrush. hes one of those "yeah i drop 4 seals, but i heavily favor the 3 you don't need"

could just be my bad luck, otherwiki has bst seals with a slightly higher drop rate than rdm, but i srsly got around 30 rdm to my 8 bst

[dasva]

They all the same. Just always seems the be the one you don't want when you want it regardless of nm

I play ffxi on 2 different pc. Is there some program or somewhere I can save xmls so I don't have to email them to myself every time I change them? I seem to think I read something of this, but had no luck in finding the post.

Enough to stay above 120 min, both new characters (created 3 weeks ago) but we do have 1 gold chest drop rate abyssite and all chest drop rate :/

Be sure to set a search comment with the specific item in translate. If ANYONE else functions like I did when in a feet zone, if I got a pair of boots I or nobody in my party needed, I'd proceed to check search for comments and do a quick shout just in case an interested party was within range. And if you feel like taking a break from killing, park the desired character of the maw with the same comment while LFG and maybe a bazaar comment. Curious people will /check and I doubt traffic to Vunk is so high that you'd never be seen.

Just got Adamas and decided to cap shield skill.

Reprisal is lasting only 10 seconds, is that a glitch? Also the block rate with Reprisal up is Ochain like.

[Prothescar]

Sounds like a glitch to me... but the enhancement sounds fine as tits. Alternate that and Palisade for a decent enough coverage of shield blocks on a useless job.

In jeuno it lasted the full minute.

Maybe a glitch? or does it have a damage cap since I had 25+ mandies on me?

[dasva]

Unless the shield makes it work completely differently it's straight time based duration

[dasva]

Ok so it looks like people are ah camping and price raising the hell out of O ingots... so anyone know a good way that doesn't involve Kseals to get them or ore that doesn't suck worse then just sucking it up and raising them myself to 100k+ each? Mind you I can fish that an hour

[Dathus]

Abyssea gold chests.

[dasva]

Enough to average more than 1 ingot an hour solo? If so which zone?
