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

My questions are ones I had in response to reading that specific guide. I know where the guides are (as does everyone else).

1) Procs restore your temp items, also will terror a mob for 20-30s every time you hit something that gives a red!! - if you chain 3-4 procs in a row, you get a long time to do damage without needing to use defensive gear at all.
2) Check https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Periapt for anything with temp items listed, you get KI's from various mobs in voidwatch. Most important are Fanatics Drink (Melee/WS Immunity) and Fool's Drink (Magic Immunity), both which last 60. As most highlevel fights are >60sec, it's important to restore these by hitting procs often.
3) During procs, you gain about 2.5% light of each color for every 1% damage you do to the mob. Basically it's a chance to get some red|blue light if the procs aren't easy/possible to hit from one side or another.
4) BRD is relatively easy long as you have decent sing/wind/harp skill - you need to be able to land threnodies, elegies, finale to proc. (Wind BRD <some number> means cast the wind-element threnody, not wind threnody. Look at the icon ingame) Depending on mob you might want to get fanatic's/fool's drinks pretty soon, since you'll need to run into aoe range to recast buffs.

Thanks. So Wind BRD <1> would be Earth Threnody <minor stagger>, I guess. Good to know how folks refer to it.

I think I got it, will look out for a City run and try to build up some temp items. I appreciate the help.

Talking about TP

Windbuffet is good then for capped accuracy, but I would maybe look into Anguinus for uncapped.

I'm glad you got what you came for, but every one of your questions was answered on that page.

Ix'Mnk duoable with both RDM + WHM adds? TH needed or is it 100% one or the other drop with 3 HQ organs?

Soloable if you get the adds off the popper. Pop with 3 organs, run back to the Ebon plate room. Killer/1 person takes Ix'MNK off to the Ebon room, the one who popped runs down the hallway(South?) before it and dies with RR up. Proceed to DoT/Nuke it down solo/duo as required. TH not needed, it's 100% 1 or the other with 3.

[Cairthenn]

If you're using two people, that's not exactly "solo" so you wouldn't have a need to deaggro them. >_>

[Dathus]

Mule account/friend used specifically for popping, dying then not doing anything else? <_<;

Ok, soloable still if you can get past the door to the Ebon plate. Will still need to die. RDM+WHM adds with stop and cast spells, making them waaay in the back by the time you reach the gateway. Die in the ebon plate room, rr up, DoT kite while weakened and then kill as you can.

Better? <_<; You need 2x people anyway, unless you're an O.Chain PLD or something. Don't know how hard it is now, but he used to hit like a mack truck back in the day, along with 2hr.

[Byrthnoth]

Pop it, kill the adds first, kill the NM. Any evasive job has capped evasion on him. Don't bother with shadows, but maybe use DEF food if you have some already.

If you separate him from the adds, he has always been soloable (by a mage). With a healer, he is now soloable by an evasive melee.

Thanks for the responses, will probably end up doing it either WHM + MNK or RDM + THF depending on organ farming.

Does embrava = auto-cap magic haste? If not, how much magical haste does it give?

[Jem]

Depends on your enhancing skill.

Haste potency = Enhancing Magic ÷ 15 + 1% Haste

According to wiki anyway. I think I remember being told you need 420 ish skill to cap magic haste from Haste + Embrava.

edit nvm

BLU can handle him fine solo.

What's the best way / place to farm Flame geodes? Prices have just risen to about 60k/pop on my server and that's something that I am unwilling and unable to pay.

I'm thinking that maybe you could do it in Ifrit's cauldron or Cape Teriggan, but fire weather seems to pop so rarely that I'm curious if it would be better just to wait for fire's day and kill as many mobs as possible with a couple friends. Also what's all this I hear about you only being able to obtain 1/5min.? Is that true?

Additional info: I have BLU 99, BLM 99 and WAR 80 with all applicable subs.

Thanks for any and all responses~

Is there any statistical data somewhere on the drop rate of treasure caskets (and their color) in GoV zones?
Any data such as:
the level of treasure casket discovery prowess (or none),
mystery box kupower active (or none),
drop rates off of higher level introduced mobs (75+) vs
drop rates off of higher level mobs (75 or lower, pre-existing before the new GoV mobs) vs
drop rates off of low level mobs (30 and below)?

Anything would be helpful. Much thanks.

I am currently looking through this topic (http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/104...Findings/page8), but I'm super skimming, so I may miss a post that may be relevant to data that I'm looking for.

What NM's in Dyna-Valk can BST solo

[Churchill]

You're going to get more geodes during weather than day. The 1/5m has been called into question, but I was getting like 1-2 a firesday during my sword trials and that was in abyssea.

Now that Kirin's Pole has an enhancing magic augment and with enh. magic going through the roof, how much are poles worth now?

[Guitarman]

I kinda want a ranged job, so i'm looking at leveling ranger. I have a problem, though: merit WS. I'm working on my Apocalypse for my DRK as it's my "main", as such, i have entropy and Resolution 5/5. My third merit ws is Ruinator for my bst. I dynamis every night on it and it's pretty pimped out overall. Is Last stand or Apex Arrow an amazing enough WS to dump one of the 3 i have? I'll probably pick up an Armageddon since it's so completely easy to get, and wildfire would be nice to have for shit like Pil. Any thoughts? Do i need apex or Last stand?
