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

[Falaras]

Oh wow that space does matter, never even knew that. Thanks!

[Nightfyre]

I was under the impression they just depop/respawned one at a time, not the entire camp together.

Anyhow, less people in Abyssea these days, so perhaps I'll be seeing it occur more often outside of the XP camps.

Cleaving or CW burning could potentially lead the entire camp to despawn simultaneously.

Guessing Appetence Crown only works for Drain and Aspir and not any BLU spells? Nothing so much as hints that it works for Osmosis and the like so I'd be really surprised if it did.

Unlikely that it affects BLU spells, but also fairly tedious to test. I doubt anyone's actually done so.

[Prothescar]

I've tested the ring and earring (BLM/BLU) before and neither of those worked, so I'm not so sure the crown would work either.

Agreed, testing drain/aspir isn't fun.

Another question, I hear the tp bonus gkt is fairly solid? Don't really feel like bugging people for help on making masa since I won't be caring about SAM that much, and I have other things I'd rather make anyway if I'm going to kill emp mobs.

[NynJa]

thanks to shoha, TP bonus gkt is more than acceptible

3 Questions: Can anyone post the best DRK -PDT set......... what does the lm and pz on fish stand for.... and if you get banned... do they ban by SE account or POL?

Good stuff, thanks man.

Ogier's Helm, Twilight Torque, Mekira Meikogai, Magma Gauntlets, Defending Ring, Shadow Mantle, Ogier's Breeches, Phorcys Dirs.

You can make some random adjustments that allow you to cap haste and PDT using Apocalypse (involves Dark Rings, I believe the earrings too, Wiglen, and Mollusca). There are also options using less slots that would involve the new Odin helm, etc.

Lm/pz are the weight of the fish. It's for the fishing competition thing.

If you get banned, it's usually the SE account, but there could be exceptions.

[Omnipotent]

What does lm and pz stand for though? Or lm and pz is the direct translation lol. I thought LM would be like Length....something and PZ.....drawing blanks...poundz????

Nocturnus/Wiglen/Darkness/Black
Mekira/Magma/Defending/Dark
Shadow/Flume/Ogier's/Phorcys

is 51% plus damage absorption and negation via head/back, so you could potentially do something like drop an earring for Ethereal and still have 49%. Body could be upgraded to the new Odin body, which is 11% DT, but it has slow and Mekira's nice for hybrid sets with the head. Your call.

ilm and ponz I think

[Terravcota]

I always thought it was yalm and ponze - like "ponze of shell powder"? - but honestly I have no clue and have only done the fishing competition once. Do they describe it in the dialogue?

This seems like the best response.

Yalm is a longer measurement; there's also malms for really long distances.

Vana'diel measurement is like real world measurements, just with different names.

ilm = inch, fulm = foot, yalm = yard, malm = miles

pz are ponze = pound (though some of the item descriptions would seem to make a bit more sense if ponze = ounce)

Given the item descriptions and the random lore they show up in, it's sorta remarkable how consistent SE is with a little thing like a fantasy measurement system.

[Terravcota]

I'm curious now - anyone know quests/missions that reference the lengths other than yalms? And honestly, I think I only know yalms from VNMs... I wonder if I've just never paid attention.

Fulm-long Salmon Sub
Ilm-long sub (an inch long sub? lol, who you feeding with that?!?)
Malm kelp

and it seems they kept the same unit of measurement in FFXIV

[Cairthenn]

I don't specifically recall where, but I've definitely seen malms and ilms before.

Also onze for ounce.

And I don't think that it is that surprising, a fantasy measuring system would be really easy to keep internally and externally consistent since it really wouldn't contradict itself. (Unlike, say, game lore.)

1-does anyone know where I can find a list of the autoexec event lists, windower wiki no longer exists (or so it seems), I'm having problems finding such a thing
2-Any way to code a line where "Do not destroy archaic gears!" will disable autotarget, and "objective complete. Rune of Transfer activated." will enable it?

[Nightfyre]

Did the accuracy of debuffs from weaponskills (Ageha, armor break etc) get any increase this update?

no
