Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[fantasticdan]

I've bst duoed kirin fairly easily, with the second bst being pretty mediocre. Just bring some poison/health potions and muslims and you'll be fine. Run wild is broken.

EDIT: I had the second bst use gerard for the defense down debuff to speed things up.

Only don't like about that def down move is crappy duration with lots of charges used. Genbu pet def down lasts rediculously long (like 1.5 hours on me before I timed out of abyssea lol) and is -25%. Though the -10% hp move on gooey is awesome opener

[Tricen]

What's an appropriate amount of ACC to have for resolution as DRK?

What's the duration you get on corrosive ooze? I haven't used gerard in months, but I thought I remember it lasting at least 3 minutes or so.

What daggers should I be working for on DNC, short of Empy/Mythic/Relic? I currently use EVA dagger and Twilight. I already have enough coins for Daka+2, is that worth getting? Any advice would be appreciated.

[Byrthnoth]

Daka +2 is not worth getting in my opinion. Upgrade another elemental magian dagger (STR preferred) or buy an Aluh Jambiya (cheaper than a STR dagger and about as good).

Thanks for the feedback. I thought Daka would be good as I could solo darkness SC (don't have Phyrric) but Aluh Jambiya looks really good. What should I use in the offhand? Twilight still? Also... what about those Qilin daggers?

Thanks again!

Mainhand Aluh and offhand your AGI Thokcha. Coruscanti is better than an AGI Thokcha, but I doubt Lux is.

I'll have to check my notes when I get home for exact amount but I believe it was 1:00-1:15. I really need to get on making a thread for compiling jug pet info since it's such a large blank mostly. Maybe after I finish shapers testing lol

Has anyone ever had VW temps not refresh, even after red/white procs? I just did a Qilin run a few minutes ago and all of my temps refreshed... except for Fanatics. Used the first one and never got refreshed again.

How much does gorget/belt = to?

How many times can you get a 'rollback' on your account?

I have. Happened when I d/cd mid fight and came back.

I assume you mean If you're hacked? Once without an authenticator, more with an authenticator. I just recently went through the process and was told this by the call center guy.

Question on calculating ranged attacks: How is Velocity Shot considered (or how should it be considered) if I'm just figuring cRatio instead of average pDIF? BG Wiki claims a 20% boost to ranged pDIF. So is it just cRatio * 1.2? If so, what about on crits? Do I just multiply critical cRatio by 1.2?

I've been using other wiki's model until now, claiming Velocity Shot is a 15% increase to ranged attack (similar to Berserk or Warcry). After comparing BG Wiki's entry, I don't think that's entirely accurate lol

edit: ALSO... is there any evidence showing Sylvan Caban's "Enhances Velocity Shot" increases ranged attack in any way? Other wiki and ffxiah claims it does but I'm not finding any evidence or anything on BG wiki saying it actually does. All BG wiki says it does is decrease ranged delay even further.

It is possible to have it rolled back more than once without token as I have personally had 2 on my account, neither while a token was active. The 2nd time my character had been deleted after my computer was infected by some malware and they started the rollback process without question. The first time I duped and the character was never deleted. Both times on same char too

[dasva]

The body definitely increases pdif somehow very easy to test. But I stopped at that since wasn't even sure how regular factored in to figure out how much more body was

You lock on book to keep sneak up without having to reapply. It'll take a couple hours to hit 30 if you're fast at killing them and are familiar as to where the "Out of range" occurs when killing leeches down below.

If anything, if you can't do it in one go, just log the lower-lvl off in the zone so you maintain page-per-XP rate for when you get back to work at it.

What is the minimum level to receive XP from the completed trial? I tried with a level 3 character + level99 char, but the lv3 one wasn't getting trials completed for each killed bloodsuckers, and no final xp either.
