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

[Radec]

Hilariously easy, I'm relatively sure rdm could melee-solo. Mage with barfira (paralyna is a bonus) + any DD is definitely sufficient.

Ideal tp/ws sets for RNG? Haven't played this job seriously in a long time. Reasonably able to get any gear except the new abjurations.

Bow and gun both would be appreciated. Yoichi/Armageddon if that changes things.

Tp kinda depends on the situation. Think my sets are kinda idealish though kinda depends on your buffs. Though I haven't looked at new abj augments that much or legion gear.

Last stand: ngull/empty/gun/bullet
Thaumus hat/gorget/wilhelm/altdorf
af3+2/seiryu's kote/stormsoul X2

I don't have a yoichi set though
af3/elemental belt/thaumus kecks/thaumus nails

Thamus hands would be better in uncapped fstr but capped racc by a little bit. af3+2 feet would be better with capped ratio and if you are using those than seiryu will still beat thaumus hands. Also the assualt knife might end up being better but I haven't mathed it since I tested it.

Wildfire:chatyont/reaver +1/gun/oricalcum bullet
thaumus/stoicheion/novio/hecate
tessera saio/seiryu/stormsoul X2
tjukurrpa/sveltesse/thamus/af3+2

Coming back to the game after a little break. I'm many updates behind and I don't want to sit through 12 hours of updates -- is there still a all updates downlaod? I have been seeing the small patch updates but trying to do it all in one chunk if I can.

Are Geodes > Gems a desynth or regular synth? Wondering if it's worth it to level goldsmithing to 51~

[grevenilvec75]

for https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Shedir_Seraweels do I need 2 specific AF upgrade pieces, or will any of them work? And also whats easiest zone to get them in? I can go DNC or WAR + WHM. Thanks in advance.

Regular. But it's HQ3 so even if you get 102+ skill it will still on average take 32 synths to make one. Idk about your server or other gem/geodes but flame over here is 70k geode 2mil gem which means even with capped goldsmithing you are looking at a decent loss to make gems. And that's only if you lvl gold high if you only take it to the cap or so you are looking at a rediculously huge loss

What is the minimum amount of azure lights to get TE?

[Buffy]

What is the minimum amount of azure lights to get TE?

128 reliably. You can receive them earlier if one of your KI procs and bumps the chest up a level or 4. Also, Heroes zones can give you some starting with zero azure, but not reliably.

Can you really send crafting torques via delivery box if same account?

This ^. RDM could solo it for sure, just need to keep up with the en-poison. I've personally done it on BLU but thats a bit harder (but also faster) due to weaker Shell/barfire (can get GOV shell though, which I didn't). I believe BST can as well.

[Auspice]

Just updated for the first time in a few months to see if I won anything in the lottery crap. For some reason my moogle suit and decennial dats are fucked(maybe others too?) and doing the forced update from POL does not fix them. Um... WTF?

[Koyangi]

Does Frenzy Sallet work on waking you up from Nightmare?

.

[Jem]

Not afaik since damage doesn't wake you from Nightmare.

Yep.

I have a 60% eva rate on DCs on MNK/WAR with no eva gear beyond skill - Assuming they're split the same as Beastmen, you can subtract 20 levels from the mob and then add 13eva from skill and 60 from thf trait - I'd assume you should be capped nearly naked.

Only with signet bonus on the engaged mob. With a AGI dagger and TP gear I'm not convinced I'm eva-capped on non-engaged links. I haven't been able to dyna in a while though so have no parse to back this up, however it's eyeballingly different in hybrid haste/eva (+50ish eva) set and TP gear.

Does Englufer's Cape stack with Shadow Ring?

Did you ever do a steam reinstall? I know that can fuck up some of the patch stuff. Can always try deleting the version info files and forcing a file check

How much enhancing mag. skill is required for light arts to bring you to 404 skill as SCH?

I don't have the Steam version of the game and I've already done the file check. :/

[Sira]

Just came back to the game a couple weeks ago and I've been hearing a lot of talk about Ragnarok and Resolution for both WAR and DRK which made me wonder; Ragnarok, Ukonvasara, or Bravura for WAR?

[Cymmina]

Wiki claims you have to be capped for D skill rating to be capped for B+, and that sounds about right. Since SCH is a D in all of their magic skills, you'll have to be capped naturally to hit 404 with LA up. Only jobs that have better than a D, like WHM or RDM, benefit from being undercapped with LA.
