Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Furionstormrage]

Is it worth augmenting an NQ Ebody (I've had it for several years) for Ukon WAR, or should I save my money and go after the HQ?

Obviously the HQ is better, but if the NQ can get enough STP to 6hit (or 5, haven't looked into that yet) and some DA, would it be worth trying or would I be an idiot?

[Yugl]

May as well HQ considering the money you'll throw into tatters.

I figured, time to go after Odin and Fafnir again.

Anyone else getting trojan alerts from apradar?

OK, so basic rundown of Meeble?

How do the Grimoires fit into it and why are there 5 different ones? I don't get that part...

A friend said at one point you lvl everyone's Diligence to 4 then only one picks lvl 5 and everyone else trades an avidity? Thus equaling 5 (Say Adjunct) Goldwings?

Also, that once everyone has a Diligence 4 you rotate through those and can do the other with that 4 to get all the key items?

Anyone have an easier grade 3 explanation please and thank you. If this needs to go to meebles thread, just say so.

If you do Adjunct Expedition 1-4 and Assistant Expedition 1-4, you can only fight one of those bosses if using the same grimoire. The reason is because wins remove Expedition wins after defeating the boss. So if you want to do Expedition 1-4 for each (Adjunct and Assistant), you need to do them using different grimoires.

Kincard's posts here explain one way to use the grimoires.

I don't believe that any of that will work. My understanding is that everyone has to pick the level 5 burrow before entering, and that everyone's progress from 1-4 is then erased, regardless of your success/failure in #5. As for the second suggestion, you cannot pick a #5 willy-nilly after doing 1-4. You have to do 1-4 for the correct path in order to enter whichever #5 is your target.

Top of AH + some at the bottom by the side stairs or the bridge that leads to mega boss while waiting for repops on top of AH is what I did.

BST can solo animated dagger np.

I camped successfully in the SW quadrant of the circle. So on the wooden walkway between the mini wooden staging point and the land where you take the bridge to the tower.

I've not done limbus in a good... 3 years or so; What zone would people recommend for soloing coins?

Job I would most likely use is a combination of NIN/DNC/THF

[Esvedium]

Does anyone know a good camp in dynamis windy? I need to farm up a relic dagger.
Is it possible to solo animated dagger on bst or should I just try and do a shout for more people when it's time for that?

Windy is a shithole, and I feel bad for you that you have to go in there for a dagger. If you have to be in there, though, the buildings between TE2 and TE3 has 3 NMs that pop on timers, RDM, MNK, and BLM. The area with the MNK has several JA/WS stagger mobs, only a few casters. If you have a mule that can try to proc the mage NMs and/or sleep the SMN pet, it's not a bad camp. I don't think I'd try to solo there on THF/DNC, BST/DNC, etc, though...

Anyone have a synergy skillup guide. I'm level 25 and finally decided to stop being lazy. Lol.

method 1 (cheap): find yourself a high lv recipe (many choose nuggets) and spam 1 of the required fewels, ignoring explosions completely. never choose "end synergy". adjust fewel/recipe according to what status affect you want to deal with. don't die (although its not that big of a setback). finding a TV series you want to catch up on may help preserve you from death by boredom.

method 2 (a little faster): find yourself a high level recipe and buy lots and lots of light fewell and spam "furnace repair". skillups will be faster, the pot shouldn't explode or run out of hp so you shouldn't have to re-enter the recipe. pretty much just spam enter. i didn't actually use this method myself but this is what i've gathered from people here. while i doubt its very time efficient, if you have access to high alchemy you can farm white rocks from crawlers at the O. Kote/sarutobi kyahan nm spawn areas in castle O and have your fewell made.

Somebody needs to automate this.

Do aw'aern at the four Ix'aern DRG rooms have an equal chance of spawning Ix after their death, or do you actually need to continuously slay every room in order for him to pop?

Fuck me if it's the latter
Fuck this game if it's the former

[Byrthnoth]

I've popped him by just killing the Ix'Aerns of a single room over and over. I've also popped him off a once-Reraised Aern, but I've never had an Aern reraise and pop him on the same kill. I would bet that each of the (12?) Aerns in those rooms has the same (low) chance to pop him on its final death. Pop rate is probably 5% or less.

[Dotsudoku]

Ix'aern DRK and DRG are so horrible designed

Three days now, no Ix

There are 5 wings and a final boss. To fight the 5 wing bosses, each person must select that they wish to do <Wing Name> #5 before you can enter, and each party member will only get the option to select 5, if they trade their book with clears 1-4. Winning or losing 5 erases that book.

The book rotating you're referring to only works on the final boss, who's only entry requirement is to have the 5 Key Items from the previous wing bosses. You can store up the boons, have party leader trade the boon book, and everyone else go blank. Everyone can rebuy the KIs (Emblems of Valiance), you change party leader, and repeat, until you're out of booned books. It costs 1 million gil per person per fight to do this.

If you have gear options where you can have dark magic along with INT/MAB, then those considerations may come into play some more, but I can't really think of a single piece like that.

Augur's Gaiters is all I can think of off the cuff, but whether they're the best damage or not is something else...

Anyone have a rule of thumb for how many tics of regain to allow from embrava in a capped delay reduction TP set? I can't decide between 1 and 2.

Generally folks choose nugget synths because you can spam the earth element. By hasting yourself the slow effect will not impact you and let you spam spam spam.
