Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[Kincard]

Crude way would be to go to the FFXI > User folder and copy your main's macro data over to your mule's. You'll know which one's your main since it'll have way more files in it.

PL-ing a mule? They have to get exp from it, it's unlikely you can start them from lvl1, but 5-6 will be fine in most camps.

What do I put in the ODD Rate tab on Montentens Spreadsheet for Spharai? Given that it's ODT, doesn't proc on DA/TA/QA, and it 13% on left hand?

[Jb1210a]

you solo farm as thF?

I do when I am feeling too lazy to control my mule. I get decent results, but it's not as good when I bring my mule along.

[dasva]

no more talking of torques. SE can eat a gonhorreac dick until they introduce a CC torque.

Is it normal that my main's Thf did a 4k SA True Strike against the Coarse in Apollo SE with a D15 Warp Cudgel, but my whm mule only did around 2k with 5/5 Realmrazer with a D65 Molva Maul?

Edit:
Idk what it's VIT is, like 80 maybe? fStr will be capped on a D15 Club, but guess maybe get 8fStr from a D65 one with 108 str?
TS: 225 DMG from Dex, (225+15+9+((129/2)*0.85))*1 = 303.825 *3(pdif) = 911
RR: (65+8+(157*0.85))*5.55625 = 1147.08 *1.8(guessed pdif) = 2064

I suppose if TS had a triple attack proc, it would have been 303.825+2(78.825) = 461.475 * 3= 1384, but that's still much less.

Offhand hit wouldn't have counted for anything as it was a dagger, and he's immune to piercing.

Autofollowing mule:

/follow mainchar
load blinkmenot, ensure main/mule don't blink (alwayson self, alwayson others)
bind <somekey> input /assist MainChar; wait 1.3; input /attack <t>;

Mule will swap from following you to following the assist target when you press <somekey>, then engage. Downside, on small mobs they can push it and cause the mob to move around, if so use:

bind <somekey> input /assist MainChar; wait 1.3; input /attack <t>; wait 1.3; setkey numpad_2 down; wait 0.5; setkey numpad_2 up;

This will make them do a little stutterstep backwards after they engage, but breaks autorunning. Mule won't run off, but stands still, so make another key to /follow MainChar.

Using this setup, do you think it's possible to somehow make your mule adjust their distance from you? IE to keep out of AoE range or something.

Got a new pc and I used to have different(Abyssea's one with NM/camp info, dynamis ones with TEs/NMs etc) map dats and no idea where I got them, also How you I go about getting them to use with apradar

Drachenhorn uses on SAM and DRG,
Was thinking for Muti hit WSs when no day bonus from Mekira-oto +1?

[Radec]

Do note the attack is not 5% of your listed attack, but of your base attack (Naked except for weapon) - so it usually comes in at lower or equal attack to mekira+1, not greater.

It's largely best in places where twilight would be the other choice.

Ukkos/Drakes dDEX sets
Entropy
Upheaval

Also to note, it'll be best for KotR, Requiescat, and Onslaught if that's a factor.

Stardiver, Reso, Metatron, Kaiten, Shoha - Mekira+1 should nearly always win.

Oh lame Was unaware it was base attack.

Maybe some misses or lower pdif? Idk I remember when doing pot farming in sky SA/TA true strike always seemed to do better than it should've

[Radec]

Offhand should count, WS take the generic type of the weapon category - if you're using any of the special weapons like blunt gkat, pierce h2h etc the weaponskills come off as slashing and blunt respectively.

Remember those mobs take bonus damage too, but 4k still seems very high, almost certainly some multiattack.

^ this is dead on, Drachenhorn is another item fail by SE. (and one people are dumb enough to full time, cause rare)

The only problem with this, is all the people should know this, won't ever see it. Nothing makes me laugh harder than seeing everyone @ prov want drachenhorn... but it frees up lots on the scrolls that never drop anyway. Lost count of the number of people that tell me while afking in it like a bawse "I wish i could get that Q.Q"

[NynJa]

What would generate more damage over time:
accessioned enspell or haste samba (since they cant co-exist), referring to /dnc.

[Karah]

Considering that the enspell will do somewhere around 20-30 added damage which is around 10% of a melee swing. (varies by job, obviously, I'm assuming thf/dnc here) and haste samba is 5% speed at the cost of tp. I prefer to go with the enspell.

I would think it would matter more what the target is, if the enspell is getting the full effect or not.

[NynJa]

I can breeze through salvage on my main thf+whm, but its such a shitty long process, I've taken to using my mules mediocre thief and my friends really mediocre whm mule, and I cut it close on time, so I'm trying to find ways to speed things up there.

[Karah]

I go on thf/rdm and sch 2box, awkard choice i know. But the wind weather buff and the aeolean cleaves, make a difference. As well as the asscessioned enaero... when i do have a third person and I go thf/dnc i never remember to put up the damn haste samba, neither does he lol... so we still go with the enspell.

Should also note that DA/TA/QA do nothing for haste samba, while thats an additional 20-200+~ damage per attack round with enspells up.
