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

[mdkuser]

how do I target items (which lights should I get etc) from chests in Abyssea, gonna try for TH sash

also 3rd atmacite for mnk after discipline and coercion?

If you are new you'll need azure but if you have many stones like most people just do amber and perle, recap your time every 2h. This means 95% of your chests or so are big gold chests.

[Yukari]

You can only get a max of 2 hours from stones.

[GImpers]

Is there a working Yarnball plugin?

[detlef]

He means exit the zone and recap your amber and pearl.

[NynJa]

Did I miss the memo on how to quickly cap pearl?

You and me both then. I'm not dicking around with exiting and re-entering and then recapping lights.

[Yukari]

Same here. No idea on how to quick-cap pearl.

If you're 2boxing farming anyways, split up for lights to start. Get 1 character 255 azure, other 255 amber, then 200 pearl together - killshot on azure character when TE low, otherwise enjoy nearly entirely golds - just fight something you can killshot without adjusting lights for either character.

[NynJa]

The only thing I can think of is capping it on VNM, but that would still take a while. You get 10 per kill, fortunately on those its guaranteed (I've never killed one and not got a pearl light), but even then I can generally only get one per minute about, between tracking it down and popping it. You might as well build azure to 120 at that point.

Nynja_2012.07.15.log:[00:19:18]You obtain the key item: Clear demilune abyssite in exchange for 300 cruor!
Killed 9 in that time
Nynja_2012.07.15.log:[00:29:10]The clear demilune abyssite takes on a slightly deeper hue and becomes a colorful demilune abyssite!

incase anyone wonders where I'm getting my "1 kill per minute"

[Michelob]

I'm fairly certain that pearls from VNMs aren't a static number. I remember several times seeing a higher than normal pearl light jump when keeping track after every kill but I haven't payed attention in over a year.

[Radec]

You can kill any NM for that too, just vnm by far the weakest. If viable just pop > burn down w/e NM is from the mobs you're killing for boxes.

Does anyone know at which percentage DualWield can cap for NIN? My ls won't shut the hell up about it. Thank you in advance.

That portion of log showed 10 every time

[Michelob]

How many kills in that log? I thought I remembered seeing a 15 and a 20 jump but like I said this was over a year ago so I don't know. Could be that I just screwed up and missed something else that could have explained it.

[Kalmado]

I'd agree with Nynja on this. I've done this many times in Attohwa and Kon. and it's always 10 per tier 1 vnm.

I don't believe there is a dual wield cap at all, but you can't swing faster than the minimum base delay (150?).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

You can't swing faster than 20% of your initial delay (hand A delay + hand B delay). There isn't a known cap on Dual Wield.

[Trix]

Is there a good spot to farm seasoning stones on mnk?

[Eurell]

Pots in Fei Yin seem to have an awesome fucking drop rate. I've never had to kill more than 3 to get a stone while helping people.
