Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Not sure if rates are figured out exactly partly cause I don't think alot of the stuffs caps are all that well known. It does seem to have something similar to crafting in being so many over helps your HQ rate so much. Though in a much different manner. Like alot less to get capped rate and highest HQ rate is way more for synergy then crafting. Distribution between the HQs seems to be the same as for crafting.

Actual craft skills have no bearing other than if you are able to attempt the synth

Any BST's have any advice for dealing with the Citadel Chelonian area in Silver Sea Remnants? I tried a solo to see how far I'd make it and I was actually doing really good until I hit that section and got wrecked by the train of 6 gears.

if you are solo and have no mule to cure you, avoid the train of gears

I know on the pol website you can download a vista specific version of the pol viewer.

that might help.

anyone know the hq rates on synergy stuff. like does it follow the same rules as needing so many levels over cap to get into T1 range. and does base skill, (goldsmithing, WW, etc.) play a factor?

It does not follow standard T1/2/3 HQ tiers and rates. All we know for sure is level most certainly plays a difference, and the closer you get to the relevant elements being aligned perfectly the higher chance at HQ.

Can BST solo Dawon? My fear is the claw cyclone spam when hate reset moves it off the pet.

[Guitarman]

Yeah i would imagine so, but best to just let your pet do all the work. Keep a good distance from it, and when it turns to you run in a wide arc, it'll allow your pet to catch up to dawon and smack it for hate. Keep snarl going obviously. Falcorr is your best bet to mitigate aeroga 3 damage. Maybe yuly.

I popped him by accident and was able to take him down with Falcor doing almost all the work.

drain/aspir .... but lol

Nope.

EDIT: Breaths might be an option, not sure if a dSTAT component was ever conclusively ruled out though.

[grevenilvec75]

It already is:

Third paragraph:

The potency of drain and aspir spells is affected only by Dark Magic skill, equipment which directly modifies http://cdn.bluegartr.com/wiki/9/96/Dark-Icon.png-elemental magic damage, and equipment which directly modifies the Drain and Aspir spells. INT plays a role in determining the accuracy (resist rate), but does not affect potency. Magic Attack Bonus has no effect on potency.

If you can manage to get them all on your pet (and you have standard pet pdt gears), you'll be ok. I've done the trains + turtle fine on bst the couple times I've tried. Use pdt gear on yourself if you have aggro on any until you can get them off obviously. Saving temps from chests (fanatics, giants drink, etc) for this floor helps a lot too.

Probably fraps but you would prolly need to recompress it after first recording coz the file will be huge.
