Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[dasva]

I'm in the same boat. Currently, I have 487 skill w/ an 8 enhancing pole. :<

You can break 500 with the gear Radec listed, with at least a 4 augment on the sabots. +5 would give a leeway of 1 on the pole. Still bleh. Fucking pixie.

I know nobody really cares about neo limbus it but... Adhara Crackows give 8 skill

SCH can't use, they're only on Shedir

[dasva]

Oh whoops fuck that anti sch shit

Problem is, they're fairly time consuming and expensive to make, due to the lack of fire weather. Devoting time/gil to making a STR magian weapon instead of just working on an emp/relic seems counterproductive, outside of the aforementioned offhands.

This was my thought process basically. Why dump anywhere from 4m-5m on a STR magian when you can dump that kind of gil on progress towards an empy with mercs.

[Byrthnoth]

Because STR weapons are better than the level 90 Empyreans with shit WSs.

[Darkmagi]

Depends on weapon, and most people would rather put that into something that will have more longevity like a relic.

I have 2x str99 daggers and I gaurantee you I would do them all over again rather than have to dick around with glavoid, or spend 5x that amount to have it merc'd.

Fudo and Kaiten use the same sets. Except Kaiten doesn't need the moonshade and should use a STR earring. (could use Cent. earring for trials but in general if att isn't capped you should be using Shoha) Mekira+1 on proc days as well. Shura+1 on the rest. (5-7att,3wsdmg,3scdmg aug or if lucky STR)

Thanks for the reply, what about the aftermath up/down sets? Is there any benefit to using one, and what would gear would i want to switch out?
Also for atmas in Abyssea would VV/StoutArm/Apoc be best or is there a better combo?

Again thank you.

Is there anyway to set a default ll profile to a specific character?

[nikia]

This is the Autoexe event i use when I log in a mule.

	<register event="login_Name" silent="true">
		unload Recast;
		unload ChatMon;
		drawdistance set 1;
		ll profile altpass.txt;
		bmn 0x7FFF;
		bind f10 input /item "Forbidden Key" &lt;t&gt;;
		ae load NameAE.xml
	</register>

Can set Autoexe to load the LL profile you want.
Posted the while code just as example of what can be done.

Something weird I noticed. I'm sure it's been posted about, but it's beyond me to find it with BG's search interface: How do DT+ and DT- effects interact? I was testing tonberry hate on a character with Rancor Collar, had my WHM mule there, with no DT-altering equipment except Owleyes' DT+10% and Genbu's Shield's PDT -10%, and he took 503 damage from his half of 1000 Needles. I'm guessing that we're dealing with x/1024 values for both items that approximate 10%, but has this been figured out previously?

[Byrthnoth]

I'm pretty sure they're added and subtracted in the same step, so they must be different amounts of -DT and +DT. Looks like a 2/256 difference? So Owleyes could be +26/256 and Genbu's could be -24/256?

Use AutoExec with login_NameHere as the event.

Having a problem logging into my character. Was in Mog House moving gear around when POL crashed. Logged back in both with and without Windower, and also powercycled my PC a few times. POL crashes every time I get to the Downloading Data screen after selecting with character to log in as. I don't think its a problem with my DAT files because I was able to log onto my second character on the same POL account, and enter and leave the Mog House with no issues on that character... though it does seem that my connection is much slower.

Any ideas? Also, currently updating my PS2 to see if I can drag my character out of the Mog House.

Again thank you.

From what I remember, I used Apoc/RR/VV and Apoc/Mounted Champion/Vicissitude depending on if I brought my Whm mule with me or not. I generally waited until 30% for the kill shot even though I was able to do it from 50% at times.

Also, here's the camps I used if it helps:

Beasts: Rabbits in La Theine [A].
Vermin: Flies in La Theine [A]. Bazaar the pop item so people don't take the mobs you need)
Arcana: Ro'Maeve FoV, killling everything as I went around.
Birds: Birds in La Theine [A].
Aquans: Frogs in La Theine [A]. Camp in the open area to the west of the lake.

So I should make a second STR dagger rather than Twashtar90? If so, that sucks cuz I already farmed the shells...

[Airenn]

There's an Alc, Bone and other torque's but not Goldsmithing? Why?

[dasva]

Because SE has always hated goldsmiths

[Airenn]

Cunts. :/

Yeah kind of.
