Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Is there a working multi-send/multi-boxer around?
http://multiboxer.googlecode.com/
This one keeps giving me WindowsFormsApplication1 is not responding on opening.

It used to work fine. Then sometimes it would open and sometimes it would give me that message. Now every time I open it it freezes and closing it gives that message. Really annoying.

XI-Utils's Sandbox with Send plugin works great. It's consistently updated, too.

How many people do you need to start farming tokens in old Nyzul? I know it's 3 to enter, but is just a main dd, a healer, and a mule as a DD enough firepower to go through 95-101+?

I go bst + whm + fishing mule alot. Generally only clear like 7 though. Then again I don't use standard nyzle helper tools. Plus I tend to get floors with 4-5 order lamps most runs which is rather annoying

Doing some trials.
Is it possible to be alerted by sound / task bar blink / etc when weather pops?
If so, how?

Am I just having bad luck or do AoE WS have a much lower chance of proccing Dynamis mobs compared to regular WS? This doesn't seem to be anywhere even remotely close to 15%. Weird thing is that I've never had that issue in cities, only in Dreamland areas.

[shaggnix]

they nerfed aoe WS procs way back, within a few months of the dreamzone overhaul. ochain plds were getting 400-500 singles a run pulling whole groups of mobs and aeolian edging them to death. i wouldn't be surprised if its not nerfed in cities/ice, since the mobs are mixed procs.

[Petitssk]

Ah, I see, that would certainly make sense. Thanks a lot for the fast answer!

I haven't done any Neo-Salvage and would like to. What's the best zone to try to pop my cherry? I'd probably have two people, with one person (2 and 3 below) two-boxing:

1: SAM (Amano), MNK (Vere), DNC (Average)
2: BRD (Ghorn), WHM, SCH, RDM
3: THF, WHM (Average)

I've tried to keep up with the Salvage thread, but without having been in there, I feel kind of lost when trying to follow along. Thanks in advance!

SAM,RDM,THF is our 3 man setup
SAM,WHM,THF,BRD is our 4 man setup

With autoexec, yes. This is what I use. Add it to your autoexec.xml

	<register silent="true" event="weather_Thunder">wait 2; input /echo == Thunder Weather ==</register>
	<register silent="true" event="weather_Ice">wait 2; input /echo == Ice Weather ==</register>
	<register silent="true" event="weather_Fire">wait 2; input /echo == Fire Weather ==</register>

You can change the /echo to party calls or something if you want noise. I had it set to call5 when working on trials when solo and not sitting at my computer full time.

Every zone is easy with Mnk + Whm able to hit every NM on your chosen path plus the NQ and HQ bosses with lots of time to spare. Mnk Sch Thf probably works best, the only reason I don't use Sch over Whm is I lack a Thf main so I go Whm/Thf. The ability to do AOE sleep in a 3 man setup will also make farming alexandrite ramparts a lot easier.

Easiest zone to start on is Bhaf, very few mobs that aren't remotely threatening and cerb is the least dangerous of the bosses.

Thanks everyone for the Salvage input!

MNK+WHM is even better news - my husband rarely plays these days so being able to potentially dual box the new zones without actually bugging him to log in is great! (I completely suck at triboxing lol...)

Currency drop rates better in cities or dreamland? Assuming everything is triggered + TH7.

[Slynkee]

How does war 85ukon 6 hit and drg oat 5 hit compare to each other damage wise?

Just came back last month after a year hiatus and decided to take a break from orthrus to finish my occ attk twice polearm and wanted to know how it stacks up against 85ukon (atleast 90 at some point)

[Dotsudoku]

90 Ukon will likely ream OAT DRG against anything with defense, but you should probably wait for someone to give a more in depth answer

[shaggnix]

empy war vs oat drg: on fodder an OAT 5 hit can do really well, idk if it would be enough to beat war. anything over EP and its war by miles and miles

city dyna vs dreamland dyna: dreamlands will yield ~double city yields

[Rehn]

Is the best ukko/reso leg for war or drk ares' flanchard +1 now? Is it wise to upgrade +1 leg first or is there another piece I should do first?

[Maguile]

What kind of setup is needed to kill Nidhogg now?

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

Ares Flanchard +1 is best if that's what you're upgrading for Ukko/Reso. Ker's Flanchard are great if you have an Apoc for an AM setup. If you wanted to make a high acc setup in the future for War, you can do Ares's Mask +1 and Ker's Cuirass as well.

[Yugl]

Its the latter, but how this information was ascertained is another story. Probably based on the theory that X mob drops X crystal therefor its element is X and its less resistant to Y element, this seems to hold true for most i just checked. It could also be in that jp guide thing, but i dunno how they discovered it. Cast every element spell 1000x and see what got resisted most? Lol

Thanks.

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

How easy is KB to fight now a days? Is Meteor pretty dangerous at 99 with a good shellra 5 whm, and having an apoc drk + thf for dd?
