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

soil satchet (really all satchets) can you mail them to mule?

[Rehn]

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

I mainly cleave misareaux only and have gotten anywhere from 2-5 in 2.5 hours... not that great, but if you're desperate you can start there. You will get lots of siren's hair though if you can make use of that.

Yes

[Ambir]

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

Any idea whats causing this? There doesnt look like any new Gold recipes that would account for the demand. Just Goldsmiths thrying to get to 102? or something more.

[Yugl]

Alchemy perhaps.

[Byrthnoth]

Alchemy only requires one O-ring for uncap and the ring doesn't sell very well on AH so I can't imagine many more are made. It's probably just goldsmiths trying to grind to 102.

[dasva]

Not just 102. Silver Cassandra gets you to 104 and takes 2 ingots too. Which is what I'm trying to do. And everything else requires things made from either palladian ingots (400k+ each and I think all the recipes require multiples) or Ormolu Ingots (effectively non-existant till they add more things that drop it... like idk stuff people actually want to kill or stuff that can be low manned). So since I don't really feel like spending millions per synth on things I'm probably going to have to npc... O ingots it is. Seems others have caught on as well though

[Dathus]

Or the fact that o.ingots are required for O.Bullets which are amazing for Wildfire?

Also, are Augmented Heca+1 hands still number one for Drakesbane?

[Darkmagi]

Pretty sure phorcys would beat them.

[Yugl]

Lancer's according to someone who ran the DPS sheet.

[dasva]

Not sure I'd call O bullets amazing for wildfire... better than any other non ra/ex but still it's not like it's a huge increase in dmg especially for that price tag.

[Darkmagi]

2DA>3str 5atk assuming you would only use drakesbane on fodder content where accuracy wouldn't be a concern? Seems a bit off, but I figured you would use stardiver on anything that wouldn't be viable due to drakesbane ATK penalty.

[Yugl]

I didn't notice the WS, so you may be right. I would have to asked them to throw that into the sheet for drakes instead of stardiver (or do it myself when I get time).

[Dathus]

I was more considering for if you had a Ryunohige.

[kamugi]

If your crit rate is 50% or higher it's a safe bet Heca+1 with crit damage 4 will beat the DRG AF3+2 hands, unless the extra dex on them does something for you.

Assuming Drakesbane fTP total is going to be around 4.4, moving it up to 4.48 (DA4 on hands) is about a 2% increase, so you'd need 50% crit rate to equal that. Not that I have any idea what other gear DRGs WS in, I was just thinking 4.4 sounds like a good number =3
What other gear do you have on?

[Dathus]

Trying to make a "Perfect" Drakes set-up after the Neo-Nyzul update. Had this after talking to Noodles, but just making double sure (as the hands he mentioned were Heca +1 augmented) before I go buy the -1 item.

[Gouki]

Anyone knows where i can find a downloadable version of the EU ultimate abyssea super duper mega collection?

Swap pole grip for claymore always.
If AM3 is up, I would always use Heca+1, if its not up use AF3+2 when crit rate will be below 50%.
If this is some kind of dDEX setup I would swap a pyrosoul for rajas, if it isn't I would swap hat for mekira+1 and belt for any of the WS belts that work with Drakes.
If attack/tp bonus moonshade is ok to get, I would get that too.

EDIT::: Wanion belt or whatever is 8 str/dex too, that would be better than pipilaka, but GL getting it!

[Dathus]

Haven't done the moonshade earring at all, so that's always good to know it works for that.
It's not a dDEX set-up, so I'll go with that. Elvaan DEX ftl. Good to know about the belt, though.
Claymore because of the nature of the WS's mods for crit rate, right?

In addition, is the bonus damage on the Ryunohige worth using nothing but Drakes, or is it Drakes@300% then Stardiver for great justice?

Edit: I guess for different situations, it depends. Dynamis? Voidwatch?

I would assume the drakesbane damage +30% makes it always better than stardiver. But I'm no DRG and never did any math for it or anything, I just remember seeing that Stardiver was better than drakes, but not by much.

Claymore because the AM3 on Ryu is going to the devalue the DA so much it wont be worth much of anything.
