Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Selamis]

Pretty sure it's random as all hell, like anything else in the game.

[Maguile]

Will I be able to brew 3 Bukhis's with one brew in time? On war preferably

[Rehn]

/NIN, aeolian edge

[Sideris]

If his stubbornness for resisting dark magic procs is any indication I would think that Cataclysm damage might take a hit on account of his dark resistances.

[fantasticdan]

/NIN, aeolian edge

/rdm also gets you aeolian edge + 24 MAB for it, if you don't need red procs from /nin.

[Buffy]

Well an additional 24 MAB is pretty pointless, a better question is would /thf give you AE. Then you get TH plus AE.

[Khajit]

How fast are the respawns on ??? anyway? maybe he can sneak in an extra 3 if he brews fast enough.

[Buffy]

1 Minute. 3 per brew is realistic, 5 per brew if perfect. We just did some Azdaja and kept getting to like 4.5 and would have to finish normal.

What's the "minimum" for Voidwatch clears? Assume no displacers unless absolutely necessary, and I'm talking Jeuno1, Jeuno2, AU, CoP, & Zilart. I need to get some bros caught up for Warps and shit but I've only done Voidwatch with a clusterfuck of 18 retards (incl myself). That being the case the final tiers aren't as necessary (excepting t6 Jeuno for Provenance just in case) but the prospect of waiting weeks for clusters to recharge is lame as hell. (Wiki says 12 people on the right jobs can do them all, but I'm unsure which ones are the 'right' jobs and whether or not it's outdated for 99 cap or not) Basically it's because there won't be enough procs that I'm worried.

Also I just unlocked Pyrrhic Kleos. Did I do good? Before Twasthar I'm having a ruff time figuring out how to dance :< I guess that's the problem with Abyssea leveling!!!! No but seriously there are too many Flourishes.

How awful is Dynamis - Tavnazia? The opportunity to farm two pieces of AF2 at once is appealing but is it split amongst EP/DC? (It appears that Hydras are EP and Kindred are DC?) Should I not bother going in solo and wait for bros? On the topic of Dynamis, what's the best way to get EXP in there for trials? I assume fighting the high level mobs w/ exp ring?

This probably varies by server but what's my best use of Kindred Seal/Crests etc? >_>

[Kari]

anyone know of a program that could help me speed up trading the 8 billion cave cherax i've fished up....?


edit:

That isn't a bot.

Not sure what you're asking for here. You're asking for a bot, but then you say you don't want a bot? o_O

I personally see shouts for all of those VW areas fairly often. Jueno 2 is the only "rare" shout I see. You might want to cluster a few select Jueno 2 mobs(Pixie tends to drop people like flies in pickups and her tpmoves usually shut down damage/procs) simply because they're irritating bitches to begin with and in a pickup it only can go downhill.
As mentioned below Aht urgan and Tavnazia aren't going to work with 12 probably but it also wouldn't be that hard to find 6 people.
Um as far as setups go if you can zerg a large portion of the mob's hp you'll cap so it's not too bad.
Basically just do a standard VW setup you normally see but cut out the less necessary jobs. War can cover alot of procs on it's own.
Smn blm sch(embrava for when you just plain want it dead and if said sch has the KI from bismark/morta they get a revit for when they proc white.)brd
Sam can sub rng to do bow procs
Thf or nin can sub cor to do qd procs and a few gun procs
make the gimpest DD sub dnc for dnc procs
war because they have a huge amount of weapons.
Dealing alot of damage to the mob once a red !! hits should cap your lights fairly easily.
Every other job is situational since the jobs above can technically cover most of their procs.


If you're alone(as in no other groups) it can surprisingly give decent coin returns(but still subpar to actually going to a "proper" zone) but any competition at all just screws things up. I personally find it pretty awful but at least it doesnt take as long to move the hell around as in glacier. The design is bad(2 bugard spawns? REALLY?!?)
The good news is everything is so packed together that exping there is fairly easy imo.
ks99 wyrm seems to be the best seal one thanks to speed belt.

I personally think the Hagnea stone one might be the best but I'm probably biased since i need to do that one for my own.

i dont see you clearing the tavnazia and aht urgan paths with only 12 people and no clusters tbh. you might get away with 1 cluster and 12 people, but god the adds alone might eat you alive if procs dont come flying in fast enough (since some of those adds have really strange enmity behaviours). Jeuno T1-T5 I could see being done with 12 very good people.

edit:

That isn't a bot.

Can probably use a windowed script
Something like:
/targetnpc
Item cherax
Press enter
Pause
Enter
Pause
Enter

Adjust it obv, and then copy paste it to run 50x or so.

This might be a dumb question, but how do you use a script?

[ssjjfar]

This might be a dumb question, but how do you use a script?

Never used a script that did commands like his, but its basically creating a file in the script folder, having it named blizz5 and contains:

input /equip head "Goetia Petasos +2";
input /equip hands "Goetia Gloves +2";
input /equip body "Goetia Coat +2";
input /equip legs "Goet. Chausses +2";
input /equip ring1 "Snow Ring";
input /equip sub "Bugard Strap +1";
input /equip ammo "Witchstone";
input /equip back "Goetia Mantle";
input /equip ring2 "Snow Ring";
input /equip ear1 "Hecate's Earring";
input /equip ear2 "Moldavite Earring";
input /equip main "Jupiter's Staff";
input /equip neck "Elemental Torque";
input /equip feet "Goetia Sabots +2";
input /equip waist "Sorcerer's Belt";
input /ma "Blizzard V" <t>

Then your macro would just have //exec bliz5.
Not sure all the commands available, only ever used it for gear changing sets, but spellcast does all that for you, so I never really got into making many scripts, other than random magic skillup scripts.

[NynJa]

My HD shit the bed so i couldnt tell u exactly what it is, and im doin this on my phone so bear w me

Input /targetnpc
Input /item cherax*
Wait 1
Keyboard_type \\n

Loop the wait/keyboard/type as necessary

[dasva]

Is there an ideal dagger for PLD Aeolian Edge cleaving? The only daggers I own are Twilight and Lux, and PLD isn't on either haha.

You could also use some dex daggers or M kris

[dasva]

Not sure what you're asking for here. You're asking for a bot, but then you say you don't want a bot? o_O

Naw he is just asking for a program that makes completely automated actions for him in the game. Wait a second....

[Darkmagi]

Seriously lol. Something that is completely automated is botting regardless of the means to do so. Should have just straight up asked for a bot and been done with it, not like people are crucified for this anymore.

My friend just got an lm-31 on his mule. He hasn't called in yet to find out what it's about, but he had his previous account perma banned with an LM-31 so he's paranoid about calling in and having it potentially affect his main account. Was using mild amounts of clipper earlier in the month, but nothing excessive(nothing higher than 20% if he's being truthful). He wasn't jailed or anything, just tried to log in today and it was LM-31. He had paid with an ultimate gaming card about 10 days ago, so I don't think it's a payment issue. Anyone have any idea if there is anything going on with weird bans?
