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

[Atoreis]

Ok ok 5tic then.
42sTP is needed then. Anyone see some good sets for it?
Only obvious one I see is valkyrie instead of armada but cursed breastplate doesnt exist at Bahamut.
I might try to ask some crafters to make it for me eventually if nothing else would be better.

[Atoreis]

A capped delay situation automatically makes me think of a zerg on something worthwhile (higher tier VW, Provenance Watcher, ADL).
On these mobs you'll most likely be subbing WAR for attack/DA gain, but in the set you posted it looks like you need SAM sub so you'll be sacrificing a lot of melee damage just to WS more. Apoc's white damage is equal to or sometimes exceeds their WS damage due to being able to fulltime souleater and maintain your HP with Catastrophe, unless you're using Entropy while maintaining Apoc aftermath. Also in those situations you won't be the only melee to benefit from those buffs, it'll be unlikely you'll self SC with a bunch of other melee throwing weaponskills out.

Well sorry I should give more details. Its mostly for Neo Nyzul when I have Embrava on me and I'm /sam and I SC pretty much all the time with LR up and it really helps a lot.
I might also use this for new limbus with marches for example if the event will be worth doing in which case its very possible I will be /sam too and self SC also.

I'm leveling COR, and just realized I have a Quicksilver in storage from 5 years ago. Is Leaden Salute worth unlocking, or just go straight for Armageddon? I guess I can do one while getting the other.

Thanks!

Can anyone post their THF TP/WS gear at 99?
I stopped playing when I was still 90, right after capped was raised to 95. I'm now going to get 99 now and wanted to see what people used now.
Is it still Capped haste > TA/DA > crit dmg priority on TP gear? Someone told me capped haste wasn't a priority anymore.

90 Twastar and it most likely won't be going to 95. At least not any time in foreseeable future.
Kinda bummed I didn't start collecting voidstones before I quit, so I'm just started stockpiling those yesterday.

Thanks

Uncapped haste wins with assassin's +2 or athos feet
You could get a better head/body to tp in, but that involves neo nyzul or winning the voidwatch lotto to make it really worth it.
Love torque beats my agasaya. You could go the crit route and get nefarious or the tonberry torque as an upgrade, tonberry has +DT though. I'd prefer love myself.

If any of this is bullshit feel free to correct me.

Here is my Rudra set:

augments on the hat are attack +8 chr +5 double attack +2

With Mystery boxes <insert city here> vs Frontier Lands, how exactly do these work?

If Sandy controls Quicksand Caves and the sandy prowess is active or the frontiers is active Quicksand caves can be affected?

Also, what is Onzozo's gold box rare item?

Why are people not using Impact on high end content? Is it resisted often?

[Plow]

It's a metric fuckton of mana. I use it on RDM when I need to 1 shot a time stone or something, that's about it.

[pancakesandsex]

Why are people not using Impact on high end content? Is it resisted often?

I have been messing with it on RDM for voidwatch nms. Anything that's not super dark resistant (gaunab for example) gets a good 30+ seconds of stat downs. I feel like it helps. Even if it does resist, it's usually about 10 seconds.

[Radec]

Even in voidwatch with constant ether spam, 666mp is a big hit - it won't last long vs caturae, but probably not a bad idea vs prov watcher. Rest of the fights it'll either resist (rex, igalima) or just not be worth the time to cast/inv to carry the robe.

[Bigsyke]

I am surprised I don't see more DRK's using Entropy in MP gear followed by Impact

Can I get points for both Sasuke's Katana in the mainhand and the Kodachi of Trials in the offhand for ninjer?

Or is it points for main hand only?

[Subadai]

Where are the Girtabs in Quicksand Caves? I've found 1 in each of the four rooms (in a square with the pressure pads), but can't for the life of me find any others. Wiki says 19 spawns...

I think there's some in the tunnels on the way to the Chamber of Oracles (enter from W. Altepa D-12), have you checked there?

Main hand will gain points, off hand will not.

Does Mekira-oto ftp bonus works on all hits? or 1st hit only?

[SaviorSelf]

Do you need a 100k GP item to break the 100 cap for crafts? Thought I saw something about that on the test server a while back but I'm not seeing any new items in my GP list, but I'm also only 99.3 and haven't handed in the rank up item.

[dasva]

20k KI

[grevenilvec75]

I know i'm late to the convo, but a naked SCH without merits using only light arts should be at 404 enhancing (bgwiki numbers).

So your SCH would have to be wearing -enhancing gear (if there is any) to be under 400 (or less than lvl 99).

[Radec]

LightArts won't auto-cap you if uncapped, you'd still need to be skilled up to 334 (the sch99 no-arts cap) to get 404.

[Cairthenn]

Does Mekira-oto ftp bonus works on all hits? or 1st hit only?

It will only increase the first hit. If it's a WS where the fTP of the first hit carries to the other hits, then it's going to affect those too (obviously).
