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

Why does this not work? It loads but does not change any gear for Entropy. This is the whole spellcast.

Code:

    <config
        Debug="false"
        ShowGearSwaps="false"

        />

Any suggestions on brown casket farming? Trying to get the magic skillup earring in Gustav.

More or less likely to get caskets from mobs around your level range?

<elseif type="weaponskill"> requires a condition above it to be true..

IF A
-DO A
ELSE IF weaponskill
-DO B

Since there is no A condition to be false, elseif is never entered.

Replace all elseif with if (remember the closing one as well, 3 lines from the bottom) and looks solid.

Still did not work.

I spent 11 hours straight in Zeruhn mines for the skillup ring, cycling through the high level targets and the low level ones, got my Prouesse ring on one of the TW crabs just by the entrance. I'm pretty sure that if the chest can pop, it will pop with the same frequency independently of level difference.

Same % imo, but you can get casket discovery bonus when you get XP from the mobs. If you cap that though and don't use the XP, just kill easy mobs.

try that

Thanks muchly. Figured this was a bitch to do.

Is there any method to why game time seems sporadic?

7:50 (1 second)
7:51 (2 seconds)
7:53 (1.5 seconds)
7:54 (1 second)
7:55 (2.5 seconds)
7:56 (1 second)

**Gun-it** · 2012-09-12 13:19

Nevermind.

Could it just be rounding error in how they calculate 1 vanadiel day vs realtime?

**shen** · 2012-09-12 14:29

Is there a .dat swap or something to remove the heat flare/glowy/wavy effects around avatars/maws/magian moogles? They lag me out sometimes =/ I see in Altana Viewer they are rendered without the glowing effects so I figured that there has to be some way to do it...

**crux** · 2012-09-12 15:35

Edit: I have no idea what I responded to. Thought I was in a different forum.

Yes, check out "Show me those .dats" thread.

**Obsidian** · 2012-09-12 17:02

Maybe better suited for the What's Better thread, I dunno, but I did a few Ig-Alimas on MNK yesterday and discovered that for one reason or another, my accuracy was terrible.

Assuming that not everyone's accuracy is as bad as mine, why was I having so much trouble? Even with Aggressor and Focus up I was whiffing much more frequently than I was comfortable with. I'm missing a few temp key items (I lack the Stalwart's KI, and the Braver's KI, off the top of my head), but I doubt Stalwart's would have made the difference.

Not expecting to have so much trouble, I was in my normal TP set, which is:

Vereth(85)/-/-/Thew
Tantra/Rancor/Brutal/Ghillie
Tantra/Melee +2/Epona's/Rajas
Atheling/BB/Tantra/Tantra

Obviously not ideal, but it still put me at +40ish accuracy, on top of Focus (with Temple Crown enhancement) and Aggressor. Am I going to need to carry a higher accuracy set around for most upper tier VWNMs? If so, I suppose I would need to modify my Smite set as well? Can anyone help me out with regards to decent accuracy trades? I lack NNI gear for the moment but it's something I'm shooting for.

**Guitarman** · 2012-09-12 17:13

Could snag a mars ring in place of eponas. I know with 99 apoc i whiff more Cata's than I like on Morta. Just some of the higher tier NM have nasty eva.

**Kyte** · 2012-09-12 17:24

Mantis eye is a pretty efficient accuracy swap.

**CoreyX** · 2012-09-12 21:35

You should really get the Stalwart's tonic key item, it adds a ton of accuracy. I don't know how much, but by a ton I mean I can easily land physical staff pracs with my crappy uncapped staff skill on a mage job after using it, but practically always miss without it

**Guitarman** · 2012-09-12 22:23

is there a use for porthos byrnie? i see a ton of people using it, and i always thought it was garbage.

**Squah** · 2012-09-12 22:35

For Fodder mobs, IIRC WAR and DRK can use it to cap haste and use whatever for belt slot (windbuffet)

otherwise idk
