Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Easiest path for doing Apamajas II for stun set?

Have WHM, BLM, SCH, RDM.

If you have to solo it, from those jobs, the best way is probably BLM/BST - if you have bst99. Charm something in the 90's, shock mobs in the 60's, have pet kill them. Anything else, shock/absmnd and kill the mob normally, is going to take forever solo.

If you can get a friend to help, do any of your jobs(SCH/DRK probably) + friend on BLU - You pull, aoe AbsMND, whisker mobs dead.

First 5 trials same as any thunder path.
Lightning Status Ailment on kill
Trial 824: 250 Worms
- A-LaT Alliance, just shock every single mob
- BLM/BST, Kuftal Tunnel. Charm a super-high tiger, kill worms around Amemet area.
Trial 1684: 250 Colibris
- A-Mis alliance maybe, but can start AoE them here
- BLM/BST probably out of luck, charm (something) in wajaom and use leypoint possibly. Bonus, they're aspirable
Trial 1685: 300 Lizards - Note, this is actual lizards, not pieste/raptor/bugard etc
- A-Mis again, maybe A-Konschtat alliance if available
- BLM/BST, Kuftal, Tiger > Amemet area as before
Trial 2183: 300 Hecteyes
- A-Attohwa or A-Tahrongi
- Blanking on spots to use a charmed pet on.

In Summary, this trial is awful without help.

Can BST solo Shinryu without a brew?

I'm not sure how BST works but can you prevent your pet from attacking Shinryu at a time when it would recover HP? Can you remove Doom from your pet?

Pets cant be doomed i thought?

I was kind of expecting that, sadly. I need to find another BLU in our LS and befriend them.. I wish they would just put BLU on magian staves already. At least some of them can be done with exp parties.

Not sure how pets would be faster. A good blm in abyssea can kill all those in 2 single target spells. Well except maybe the lolbri. Worms you can aoe pretty decently too solo. Hell getting the worms down to 10% using blizz v and null staff and still using MM for mp

[Seol]

If the mob has Enervation on, it will count for kills (Even though Enervation is dark based on our spell list?) Did the whole griding of mobs in like 4hrs in abyssea with a BLU friend.

I recently did the staff on a mule, while I grouped up to AoE down the later stuff, I did the earlier trials RDM/BST solo - the lvl 93-94 mobs do about 10-15%/swing to mid-60's stuff, it was super fast and lazy, and importantly, never needed to rest.

Gustav Tunnel worms Sleep + Break + Sleep II > Absorb/Aspir spells.

You could script this and afk/semi-afk safely enough right?

Try bio spells? 0.2-0.5 per hour seems really low, with bio you'll eventually kill the worm but since it does damage, should skill faster I'd expect.

I didn't know damaging spells had a higher chance to skillup than pure debuff spells, is that really true? If so I'll try that too.

Poultry pitaru seemed to significantly increase skillups, just annoying I'll have to buy a stack just to get 10 skill before moving onto the next pitaru food.

Guess it would be a little lazier lol. Shouldn't need to rest with MM though. At least on most of those since they are aspirable. But yeah mule might be different since wont be as well geared/atma'd maybe

I've never heard of it however you wont get any skillups off of enfeebles that are resisted or have no effect so there is that. Same with dealing 0 dmg. That said things like dia/bio give enfeebling and deal dmg so I guess it's possible it checks for each? At the very least it will always have a chance since unresistable usually

[noodles355]

The absorbs weren't resisted though (as a general rule) and by the time you cycle them and get back to the first, it's dwindled in potency so over-writes it's self. Either way, I might try work out a script to do Gustav worms, at least then I won't have to keep getting traverser stones every 2hrs.

Pets cant be doomed i thought?

That was a bug and she fixed it. Pets can die by doom again... and always do.

Also BST cannot solo shinryu w/out brew.
It is completely tedious to heel/fight repeatedly when wings are extended.
When shinryu gees spam my w/ the big spells your pet will die quickly unless you've sacked the tanking atma... if you have stacked the atma, your dad will be too pathetic to kill within the time. If you melee w/ pet' then hate will get messed up or you will eat the big spells and die.

What mobs don't give red lights in aby-kon for farming dark rings?

[Zirk]

And is the best way to get 128 amber spawning that t1 VNM over and over?

[NynJa]

Save VNM for pearl, since its guaranteed from them. Do amber on whatever youre farming, since any mob that can lead R/Az/Am lights will load them on kill.

[Kincard]

How often do CORs shoot, and if they do, how important is their TP phase to their damage? Been wondering if it's better to just get Bedlam since Wildfire is where all the power seems to be, or just go the extra mile and farm up a Armageddon.

[Romyro]

Wanted to add another question on this…

Once you hit big gold boxes, is it completely random on dark ring stats? Or is it the higher the Amber, the better (possible) stats?
Basically can you get a badass dark ring with 128 amber?

[Byrthnoth]

Once you're getting max size boxes, my impression is that you're getting max quality results.

It isn't really that awful.

Ionohelix > alacrity Thunder5

ISL chests speed it up dramatically.
