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

[mdkuser]

are there any rings or shields with enhancing magic on it for WHM (possibly augmented)? Trying to see if whm/rdm can break the 500 tier, missin 8 skills (actually missing one skill if i count on legion gloves and aptus earring)

[Kalasin]

Is it possible to tribox JoL? if so, what setup? preferrably involving a thf. if not, what is the minimum suggested?

BST can solo it by having the pet attack JoL and you picking adds off, so just add a THF in for TH and to help on adds I guess, 3rd job can be another BST to speed the kill up maybe. Make sure to run in only after JoL has used a TP move to avoid charm.

Thinking about coming back from a 2+ year break and i need to level my subjobs. Is soloing from 37-49 a viable option or will i have to find parties? If i can solo, where should i do that?

[Squah]

Uses for Windbuffet Belt aside from DRK AM TP up with apoc? Going to pick mine up today since I finished relic last night. I think it's used in NIN TP set since they overkill Haste, no?

edit: with porthos, which i'm not even sure is the optimal build (for nin)

Worth redoing MKE fight for either DNC or WAR hat?

Only thing worthwhile i see is the -waltz delay.

None.

[Omnipotent]

Can you still go afk skilling up on the Zvahl (S) structures, and if so up to what skill level?

I thought they stopped this?

[cdgreg]

I thought they stopped this?

The last time I did this (a year ago) you would get agro skilling outside, but inside Zvahl was fine.

The most common way of levelling sub-jobs come in several forms. None of them are your old-school tradition 6 person parties you are used to from before your absense.

1. Leeching exp from an Abyssea by using keys to open boxes for the high level players 30-50.
2. Paying for a leech spot where they level for you 30-99 while you are asleep.
3. Pickup alliances in gusgen mines where the exp is 3 exp per mob, but 1800 per page using Fieds of Valor.
4. Pickup alliances in Crawlers nest the exact same way.
5. Solo'ing using Fields of Valor, then starting campaign at 65.

In all honesty, if you got a leech spot 10 AM Saturday morning, you could do 8-10 sub-jobs in a 12 hour day depending on the quality of the party. Exp boxes at 1250 exp each add up in a HURRY.

I'm going to ask a Store TP question that is going to sound idiotic because I don't know wtf I'm talking about, sorry:

I got ukko for mule, but don't know what I'm doing. I understand capping haste is good, 6 hit is better then 7 hit, unless you give up too much, then its bad. 60% acc is for idiots who don't pay attention.

A six hit for Ukko means getting 16.7% tp return each hit. Ukonsavara returns 13.0% tp naturally.

The store TP wiki page says that each store tp on gear is a .1 return. So that means I need 38 store TP to six hit. /sam provides 15. I need 23 from gear.

Goading is 5, AF3+2 body is 8, Rajas is 5, Brutal is 1. That makes 19? Rose strap is 4 for 23.

Is this a correct summary or have a fucked up somewhere? I'm not looking for a gear recommendation at the moment, I'm trying to make sure I know wtf I'm talking about.

Well if DNC or WAR ever get pets i'll keep this in mind.

Looking for links for a good started build for MNK TP and WS(Asuran + ascetic)

Thx

I'm trying to trim blm inventory down a bit, I am currently carrying goetia petasos +2 only for elemental pre-cast. How much of a penalty would I face in casting time if I used nares cap instead?

This is my pre-cast for nukes on blm:

         <main>$Staff-DMG-%SpellElement</main>
		<head>Nares cap or Goetia Petasos +2</head>
		<body>Anhur robe</body>
		<legs>Rubeus Spats</legs>
		<feet>Chelona boots +1</feet>
		<back>Swith cape</back>
		<waist>Witful Belt</waist>
		<hands>rubeus gloves</hands>
		<rear>Loquac. Earring</rear>
		<rring>Prolix Ring</rring>
		</set>

2.) Can you store rubeus gear? If so any idea which #?

[Yugl]

Rubeus is 3. If cap is 12% CTR, then onry 2% difference.

In theory it's possible from FoV, I'd asked once and someone replied they knew they saw enhancing on something but didn't remember what it was. But it'd be retardedly rare if it's even possible. One item you may not be aware of is the 2 skill augmented earring from Battaru Royale.

The store TP wiki page says that each store tp on gear is a .1 return.

No. Store TP is a multiplier, what you do is multiply 1 + .01*(STP amount) [i.e. 1.38 if you have 38 store TP, 1.25 if you have 25, etc] times the base TP return of your weapon, in this case 13.0. With 38 STP, you'll be sitting at 13.0 * 1.38 = 17.9 TP per hit.

Also, 7hit Ukon is terrible, there is no excuse for it at all. If you can put the work in to get it, you can at least 6hit it, since that's pretty damn easy. You may be thinking of 6hit, and 5hit if you don't give up too much.

And no, you need 14 STP in gear at the bare minimum at /sam to have a six hit, assuming you ws in Rajas and Brutal, and both Ukko's hits lands.

Does Requiscate go through yilbegans DT buildup over time?
