Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Anything out there at will notify you somehow when besiege is preparing/advancing/attacking on you server? Other then being in ToA zone and getting system messages.

/bmap and check the current level/status?

Something that will tell me... I know how to check.

Loops is the quickest unfortunately.

Damn. Only got like 30 last night at low lvls running for about 12 hours... maybe if I could loop bps on an nm that wont die so easy but wont kill my avatar...

Best bet for skilling up smn magic is to get skill up food for w/e your level range is, and a liminus earring if you have one, and marital master if you're lucky and it's up, and just spam BP on mobs that check EM-T for the level range of your skill. It's best to use an avatar with offensive BP Ward like Ramuh or Shiva, since buffing with ward seems to never give skill. If you're sub 200 still a good spot would be kuftal or gustav on crabs. If you can get GoV prowess to give you a few levels of melee/magic skill up rate, all the better.

Unfortunately smn and enhancing skill are the slowest stupid magics to skill up. So it will be a grind no matter what you do.

MNK (95 Spharai), MNK (90 Vereth), BRD, and SCH enough to handle Hills are Alive without Embrava? Is that enough damage to get it out of it's shell?

What were the uses for Hect+1 gear post synergy again? As far as I can remember Hect+1 for mercy stroke(down to the last few coins) hands for ws during mighty strikes, unsure on feet and legs.

[dasva]

Any summoning skill augments other than synergy out there?

I use the Heca+1 Head and Legs. I use the legs for evisceration and both for Rudra's Storm. I'd use the cap for Mercy Stroke myself. IIRC Feet is a good Ukko's piece if you don't have Huginn.

The body is useless though, as far as I know. (Looks spiffy though)

Hands/legs/feet are good for pld CDC.

Surely the feet always lose to AF3+2 Feet for Ukko's? +10% Crit Damage is pretty damn hard to beat.

Mythic pole from ANNM meriphataud S can get +10.
I dont know any others offhand but i'd say at least look at miniexpansion augments.

Depends on your crit rate, probably. It's definitely better when you're doing Legion, at least.

[Darkmagi]

Monster will either not have crit resistance, you will be using a different WS(upheaval or resolution), or you will have enough crit buffs to make ukko's worthwhile.

[Plow]

I have no question at the moment but your sig quote is one of the best things I've ever seen.

[noodles355]

If you get enough azure to be getting chests you could manifestation Kaustra

That'd actually be awesome. Actually I've been meaning to brew something with Kaustra, see how much Dmg/tick it does!

Edit:
And I use Heca+1 hands and legs for Evisceration (Built mainly for Aby, hardly ever use Evis outside). And I'll use Feet+Head for mercy stroke.

Anyway halfway decent SCH99 should be able to solo it.

[Athas]

Blinkmenot hasn't been working right for me since the update. Even though I have it set off for myself under all conditions it still disables all gear swaps on my avatar, what am I doing wrong?

One MNK + BRD is enough to compensate the regen so yeah (but takes 20 minute). Be sure to WS only during the half second it exits shell every 30s ish. With 2 MNKs it takes 3-4 minutes.

Does anybody know why the game sometimes just decides to skip cutscenes initiating BCNMs, even if I've never seen them? Happened with 5-2 the second and third time I did the fight for other nations, then it happened again during Bastok 9-2, so I figured it had something to do with the zone, but then it happened again during Windurst 9-2, which really, really annoyed me, goddamnit.

Edit: Just to mention it, afterwards, the missing cutscenes are available at their respective Goblin Footprint, but talk about a mood killer.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but still no idea what is causing this.
