Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Never farmed there for xp so only going by how the eps are so not sure how the placement is but snolls are super squishy

[grevenilvec75]

they dont explode?

[Kincard]

They do, but they're weak enough so that they die long before proc time ends on THF/DNC, if that gives you an idea of how squishy they are. Even if they do blow up, unless they're at 100% HP (which obviously won't happen) I doubt you'll get one-shotted. If you don't like those though, both types of bats and the diremites are good choices. Just be prepared to cast Erase a lot.

If you're trying to avoid competition, my experience has been that very few things in Qufim scare people away like the cactaurs in Valkurm and such. The Krakens arn't as popular, but if bats are crammed up lots of people still go fight those.

Looking for the best Evisceration head piece out of these choices. Ocelomeh headpiece +1, Cuahutli headpiece +1, Mustela Mask, or Anwig Salage with ws acc and ws damage +2%.

Trying to get the Axe quested WS but Brutus keeps saying:

Mark my words. Someday, he'll come back for his chocobo.
And the chocobo will gladly go with him. After all, he's a beastmaster.

Which quest do i have flagged? My BST is lvl 2, so its unlocked and shouldn't be any AF quests.

Also checked the list of quests he's involved in on otherwiki, and i dont have any of them active.


EDIT: lol nvm looks like my skill is gimp.

/facepalm

[dasva]

Yeah and you still get coins if they explode lol. Plus it has long ready time so you can stun it

Game is crashing whenever I try to open a menu (such as magic, weaponskills, etc). Either through keyboard shortcut, or even by manually opening the menus. Crashes with both Windower and without.

Has anyone experienced this before? I just put a clean install of FFXI and POL (from my discs, with a god-awful update overnight).

[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.

Just as a follow up, DPS sheet, against fodder shit at least - order for TP is (from worst to best) :
Af3+2/Brego/Phasmida
Ace's/Ogier/Phasmida
Ace's/Af3+2/Goading
Enif/AF3+2/Goading

Unless AF3+2's DEX caps your dDEX, then AF3+2/Brego/Phasmida came out ahead.

Should post sub/buffs if you can.

/sam mithra dex merits haste hasso fodder, was just for a general idea. haven't bothered testing it out on real content with real buffs etc

[NynJa]

I've asked once, no answer, I cant answer it myself as I dont have test server access, nor is this information found anywhere:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Melee_Cyclas_%2B2

Is the aug enhancement a macro piece, or must it be kept on?

[Byrthnoth]

Duration increase is doubtlessly activation only. Potency may require you keep it on.

[dasva]

When colibris cast stuff back at you do they actually cast it with there stats or is it basically just reflected? And if it's their stats anyone have the stats of colibris that can reflect?

Summoner Question

I'm currently cap skills
How much Summon Skills affect DMG/Dmg Potency?

I'm thinking maxing summoning merits, does it worth it or marginal

[NynJa]

I hope this isnt a nono question, but I cant find my WOTG install disk, and I'm trying to install on an old PC. Does anyone have a WotG disc torrent? Can PM if it needs to be hush hush.

nvm found one

Directly it doesn't at all. Only effects acc/macc as far as dmg BPs go

[dejet]

Lol wrong thread

[Eldelphia]

Is Zipacna 2-4 hour or 3-6 hour repop?

And good luck claiming it. It's like freaking Zips - Aery up there with tons of BST.

[Phix]

Ever heard of a 72 day temp ban lol ? seems a little weird to say the least
