Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Trying to read the crafting thread and i'm not really a crafter. My question is what does it mean when they talk about T-1 to T-3 Synths ?

As you get higher above the skill cap of a certain recipe, your HQ chance increases. There are 5 possible states,
T-1(Negative 1): No HQ possible, total skill (level+gear+support) is less than recipe cap
T0: ~1% HQ, when Total skill is 1-10 above recipe cap
T1: ~6% HQ, total skill 11-30 above recipe cap
T2: ~25% HQ, total skill 31-50 above recipe cap
T3: ~50% HQ, total skill 51+ above recipe cap

You can unlink them though but you have to call SE. So I have been told

Just a minor correction. It is possible to HQ under cap, just incredibly unlikely.

No, it's not.

You're thinking when your *total* skill is over cap.

If you have X skill, +4 gear, + 5 furniture, +3 support, you can HQ anything up to X+12, even though your skill is only X.

Without gear/furniture/support, you can only HQ up to X.

I don't hardcore follow the crafting threads, but given cdgreg is at least 0/800 and no one has been able to supply a picture of it, I'm sticking with it's not possible.

Ok I don't want the thing myself (if it exists) but I have to ask to confirm I am not going crazy.

Is there some sort of program out there that buys unstackable items in bulk / extremely fast?

All I've seen is this post, but one definitely has to draw the conclusion that some folks are using private bots with some pretty fast techniques. There's one guy on Odin (Trege) that's using something and sometimes bots the guilds with two characters at a time. Kind of funny that a guy with multiple fishing characters named similar to his (Sonoftrege, Sonofsongoftrege, Catoftrege, etc.) hasn't been hit by SE, but whatever.

[sfchakan]

No, it's not.

Was about to reply with "but this one time," then realized I was probably using advanced support and was over cap. I stand corrected.

Thanks, at least that confirms I'm not going crazy. I was pretty damn certain of it but didn't know if there was some sort of stock shenanigans since they took away the buying delay from the guild.

I can still find bait, it just takes longer obviously and at least now I know to avoid boats if certain people are on them.

I have a question regarding key bindings. Is there a way to bind "a" in such a way that you don't have to use ctrl or alt, and your typing space doesn't open up?

As in, when you type a, it doesn't show at the bottom of your log, and it activate what was bound?

[Radec]

"bind a do_A_Thing"

Downside, you can't type with the letter a anymore, unless you capitalize it.

Do absorb-stat spells make goldfish in sea attack you, and if not, would looping them onto one sch/drk be the best way to cap dark skill?

[Radec]

You'd only be able to get to ~lvl80 cap on the goldfish, but they wouldn't attack you.

[chichicha]

Can BST solo Yilbegan?

[noodles355]

You'd only be able to get to ~lvl80 cap on the goldfish, but they wouldn't attack you.

What'd be the best way after that? Earth+Regen atma spam on abyssea worms?

Yep, will take you to the lvl95ish cap for sure, if you can get them up to DC can finish it off there.

[Marcicus]

Any recommendations for Axe skillups going from 270 to cap on BST?

[Radec]

No real trick, find a mob you can hit with high accuracy and won't kill very fast, ie, http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Crabs

If you have war, pdt/regen atma yourself up, /dnc, pull a pile of mandragora and retaliate them for faster skill - if just on bst though - find a crab, hit the crab a lot.

You can cap on duriumshells in vunk_s, but realistically just get yourself to ~360-370 there and pick up the rest as you use bst(DC dynamis mobs will cap you eventually)

Is there a synergy guide from zero? Saw the guide on that wiki but it seemed to be outdated

[Yugl]

1. Find a synergy using a cheap element (Avoid fire, para, and wind)
2. Spam fewell even above the assigned value
3. Never finish the synergy
4. Repeat

What're the current Phalanx/II caps?
