Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Guitarman]

Sounds like you're screwing around with your z-axis. Avoid doing it if you can, a recent update caused issues.

[dasva]

Naw I was just trying to get out of aggro range for a raise

[RitzCracker]

Anyone know if there is any difference between using thief's tools vs. living keys vs. skeleton keys for gleaning hints from treasure caskets?

[fantasticdan]

Anyone notice really weird stuff with clipper sometimes? Like try to move yourself and get warped half way across the map. Or get exited out of limbus

Don't use pos control, it's been broken like that for a long time.

I tested it tonight and the N S E W Etc works fine long as it doesnt push into a wall/etc. IE open area. For Up Down you need to enter maintenance mode under status control. It wont update your position on the server side so it doesnt try and correct itself. Honestly should always enter maintenance mode when you need to use those controls

Nevermind

I would be careful using maintenance mode to move a more than tiny amounts at a time, it's going to look exactly look PoS warping (because it is), and it's auto-detectable. I don't think they auto-jail for it anymore, but yeah.

Can anyone tell me what LVL ADL is and his Defense? Please.

Also reason I ask is seems Kaiten does far better DMG wise than Shoha, I assume I am capped attack but i could be very wrong. Any input would be thankful.

Reversing my long parses on it, it has no more than 1 or 2 level correction and and not much defense. With a basic 2 minuets and red curry buns I'm capped, my shijin average to 3k+ etc, victory smite to 3300 ish. I do it on monk and that puts attack in the 1200 range with berserk. It does appear to have 200+ agi though because we can't seem to cap ddex with any gear combo.

Does the best Drg TP set now involve Enif Corazza? Or does it still need AF3+2's STP?

[TSFFXI]

You could get really close to making up the store tp. Ogier's gauntlets give the same 10 store tp. Goading belt (enif corazza has 3 haste so you're still capped), hagneia stone, and kokou's earring (would you normally melee in this over ghillie earring?) gives 9 store tp.

I don't think you can make up for the loss of stats, though.

[noodles355]

Hmm. I'm basically just trying to figure out if Arch-Omega is worth my time or not.
13.8TP base with OAT, 13.3 with R/M/Odin.

I'm guessing for WS:
Rose strap, Thew or Similar
Mekira+1/Gorget/kokou/Brutal
Phorcy/Phorcy/Pyrosoul/Pyrosoul
Atheling/Ele Belt/Whirlwind Dirs or AF3+2(?)/Aug Heca+1
Could add in Hagneia Stone and Rajas, for minimal loss - 19.8 and 19.1TP on 3hits, 20.3/20.1, 53STP needed for R/M/Odin and 46 for OAT.
/Sam, Hagneia, Rose, Brutal, Rajas, Phorcy head/legs, Goading, Tyrant would be enough for OAT, 5 short for R/M/Odin. Hmm..

So OAT could TP in Rose, Hagneia, Phorcy, Ganeshas, Ghillie+1, Brutal, Enif, Af3+2, Tyrant, Rajas, Rancorous, Goading, Phorcys, Af3+2. But the QA is gonna diminish the OAT as well. I wonder how Ace's Mail would fit into that set? 2% QA vs 18Str/12Att/12Acc. Hmmm hmmm.

Well either way I'm not convinced it's gonna be worth the time/gil put into farming arch-omega sets.

So if I start to DC/lag out while running, does that look like POS to the server?

What are the current strats to kill the TOAU Kings? Is it possible to even solo/duo them?

[Byrthnoth]

BST can solo all of them with the typical combination of Falcor + meds, I think?

[Loziel]

Is there an updated altanaviewer with the latest update dats or could someone point me to the correct dat for the new Gustereon dagger?

May want to ask that here:

Probably, but I have no idea whether or not your connection status is logged so SE can tell the difference. There were stories of people claiming to be jailed and banned for lagging out while running around back in the day, but who knows if they were bullshitting or not. I don't think SE has auto-jailed for anything like this in years, but the auto-detection/flags are potentially still in place.

It's definately possible to duo them all with NIN + Cures (Probably needs to be WHM or SCH for Stona). I imagine a BST can solo them all with little trouble with the aforementioned meds, though Garfurlur would be really, really annoying with his PLD pets curebombing him.

[grevenilvec75]

A few questions:

Anyone have any idea what ODD proc rate on 99 bravura is?

What's best Scythe to use on war for procs and such?

What's best DC mob to kill in dynamis-qufim dualbox WAR + WHM for EXP trials if i'm not worried at all about currency?

[Nightfyre]

20%, whatever's cheap and readily available (Bounty Sickle comes to mind and is 5-hittable), dunno

EDIT: 20%, not ~16%. Thought Bravura's was 2.5x for some reason
