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

[fantasticdan]

Yuly resists wind, Falcorr resists light, Slug resists water, I presume Funguar resists dark, but is there a more comprehensive list of pet resistances that I can exploit? Mostly just pondering a lazy BST's choice for Suzaku when I have a THF along for TH...

Falcorr does not have any notable resistance to light (or any element from what I can tell), try it against byakko.

Slug has high resistance to earth and dark as well, on top of just high MDB in general.

Does anyone have an extensive log of casket guesses they wouldn't mind sharing?

[Jem]

Is Divine Might glitched now? Just did it and the Ark Angel MR would not move at all or summon her pet. She did melee and do her tp moves if you got close enough but it was like she was permanently bound.

Not a big deal as it didn't change anything except for getting charmed when dealing with her. Just was weird!

It worked normal about 3 weeks ago.

I know its old content, but does anyone have a good strategy for lowman KS99 - The Hills Are Alive?

My friend and I only need the egg for BB, we're looking to get it as cheaply and easily as possible.

I did it at 85 cap with 2 blm's + rdm. I heard sch can solo it. Just powernuke in the shell, kite/recover mp when its running.

As far as it concerns me that's absolutely not under discussion. NFR is awesome and I would never dare skipping it.
Point was more about getting it 3/5 or 4/5 :D
I might go for 4/5 for the lack of better options, in the end, but most of the times that additional maneuver will just go to waste. Altough I still see some use of course, especially if paired with AF2+2 body.

Out of curiosity. When you don't lock your subjob, wouldn't you be better off with /THF instead of /WAR while solofarming dyna? Unless, of course, you're not solo :D

Not solo. If I solo, I THF/DNC main.

If you think about NFR pre-step, then I could possibly see an argument for 3/5. However, Presto+Step gives three, and that's happening every 30 seconds. If I'm using NFR while engaged, it means my step missed and I'm lacking, and I need to not waste time getting off Violent Flourish/Wild Flourish.

Generally, the more steps you can get, the better, even if they're wasted.

What's the trick to surprising the Captain on Ashu #3?

I been pulling using Regurgitation on BLU (which works fine on the Imps in the room prior) due to its range, and it never seems to count as a surprise attack for the bonus chest. Does it have to be a physical attack or something?

[NynJa]

I've tried looking for the past 20 minutes and cant find it...
is there a list of the autoexec events?

more specifically, I want to make an event where it loads a specific ll profile when I enter salvage. I just entered with my "pass all cells" profile and dont want this to happen again :\

[Byrthnoth]

<register silent="true" event="zone_*Remnants">ll profile default;</register>

This is what I use.

Another really useful Autoexec use:

<register silent="true" event="jobchangefull_dnc99/*">input /macro book 9;wait .1;input /macro set 2</register>

Screw ever having to manually change macro books when I change jobs ever again.

[NynJa]

thank you!

For MNK TP with Vere

AF3/raja/brutal/hagneia for STP or do I need Misuuchi to drop a hit?

Edit: Whats the base TP per hit of Vere?

[Baleigh]

Can a 99 MNK solo Tethra?

4.8 is base. The gear you listed puts you at 5.5, adding brisk mask puts you at 5.7.

[Omnipotent]

Can a 99 MNK solo Tethra?

Probably not, that bitch is still no joke @ 99.

[fantasticdan]

Tethra is an easy bst solo with gooey gerard for whatever it's worth.

# of tonberry kills for rancor collar, and can it be any lvl mobs?

Use falcor, will destroy anyway.

What's an easy way to get a WHM mule started from scratch? Thinking I should try to get it to 30 ASAP to start accruing stones, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it would be. I've never power levelled anything on Grounds of Valor, so I have no idea how that works either. Any insight would be appreciated.

Start in Sandy, kill mobs to level 5, use main and do missions to 2-1 so you get castle access, leech page to 30. Whole process should take 6 hours from character creation.

Back then when I did this, I wore movement speed gear and immediately ran in to attack him when bernie starting walking away. He doesn't aggro sound, so he won't notice you until you melee him first.
