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

[grevenilvec75]

I can hit close to 200 doing dnc/nin + whm/thf in bubu, so glad to see my numbers are comparable.

Bubu sucks for camps but there's never any competition so I do it anyway.

Anyone can give me a pointer or two for gardening. I got interested in it for it yielding ore's that I need for my Goldsmithing(fire ore,dark ore,etc..) and was doing a bit of research but couldnt quite understand it completely, so if anyone has experience on it here please hit me up here or on PM.

thanks in advance.

Someone mind posting an ideal Masa SAM tp build for me? Might do Masa/Yoichi SAM for shits and giggles.

Sets on my FFXIAH page. But Masa+Yoichi don't go well together at all. Relic AM overwrites Emp AM. If that wasn't the case it would be an ok combo but Yoichi in general is pretty Meh for SAM now, GKT WSs are too good.

I don’t think 250 is out of the question. But bsts certainly aren’t doing that regularly.

With very little competition in Burbur the other night I hit 220. And I also had to kill one of the roaming dragons which killed a few extra minutes.
Although I will say I had some extreme luck getting procs early.

I try and do Bird/Mandi(or rabbit)/Crab camps

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?

next tier is 23 store tp (but depends on the multi attacks you are using), give your full melee set.

assuming thaumas coat and nomkahpa mittens, stp starts doing something noticable at 5.8 and 5.9 tp/hit. 5.6 and 5.7 do almost nothing.

5.5->5.8 is +2% WS freq
5.5->5.9 is +5%

Ok Thanks.

So is Hagneia (5.5 a hit) worth it over Potestas (+12 att) on harder content where the 12att is needed?

[mdkuser]

yes

5.3 > 5.4 does almost nothing (less than +0.2% ws freq)

5.3>5.5 is a tier, almost +5% WS freq.

Wanion Belt won't beat Light belt for Stardiver, correct?

[Taint]

yes

5.3 > 5.4 does almost nothing (less than +0.2% ws freq)

5.3>5.5 is a tier, almost +5% WS freq.

Spharai's extra delay means I can drop Hagneia, or should I stack more to reach the next tier?

Correct.

I have decided to take cooking back up since letting it go at 83 a long time a go, times have changed and there is probably hundreds of new recipes since then so I was wondering if there is any up to date cooking leveling guides or just some recipe ideas to help me with the process? Thanks in advance

[TheDangerousDave]

On just one of my accounts all the menus (gear, macros, etc) are really stretched horizontally, does anyone know how to fix this?? I thought it was just an aspect ratio issue but changing that does nothing.

[mdkuser]

your windower window has the same aspect ration as in the config?

[TheDangerousDave]

Yes, and that's what's confusing because I load both accounts from the same setup 100% so it must be something IN the game changing it

X hit builds for 1 handed DD are not so easy to compute. I adapted my procedure for spharai +shijin spiral but double check the WS frequency in montenten's spreadsheets.

assuming "standard builds":

melee: 27% DA 6%TA 3% QA 27% KA ( I ignore tantra set bonus)
ws : 20% DA 3% TA 6 store tp.
95% accuracy.

Hitting for 5.6 TP gives 5.74 rounds per ws
Hitting for 5.7 TP gives 5.63 rounds per ws. <- tier
Hitting for 5.8 TP gives 5.44 rounds per ws. <-tier
Hitting for 5.9 TP gives 5.41 rounds per ws.
Hitting for 6.0 TP gives 5.40 rounds per ws.
Hitting for 6.1 TP gives 5.30 rounds per ws. <- tier
Hitting for 6.2 TP gives 5.11 rounds per ws. <- tier

Hagneia puts you at 5.7, it's a tier.

misuuchi kappa + hagneia astone puts you at 5.9. (one more tier actually, interesting; should be better than atheling +potestas for capped attack)

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?

something/thf
engage->Sneak Attack->flee
Wait for pet to finish walking to the left and as soon as it turns and starts walking to the right, run in and land one sneak-attacked meele hit. Just don't stumble on the stairs.

Yes. I used to do it at 75 (rdm x2 mnk) with a rdm in melee gear +sushi+ maximum accuracy gear so as to not miss ( could not /thf because we needed erase). He had a shit tone of evasion at 75. Most people used /thf because it's 100% accuracy.

What WS set are you using for Shijin that gives 20% DA 3% TA 6 store tp? I can't figure it out.

I used Ocelomeh+1 headpiece, toci's harness, mustela gloves, brutal earring, /war.
, rajas ring.

If you include epona or remove rajas, tiers will change, i'm too lazy to do it, need to use montenten's spread sheet

Edit: checked: with 26% DA 6%TA on shijin spiral the tiers are the same ( ocelomeh, toci's,brutal, epona, mustela, atheling, /war,rajas)
