Is there any way to shortcut rank ups in WoTG? Do missions automatically earn you ranks?

They do not and no shortcuts. It is however easier then ever to accumulate points to rank up.

Which jobs are considered heavy DD's nowadays? RNG WAR SAM DRK MNK?
How is DRG compared to them with the new polearm?

[Kaisha]

Is Delve content looking like something you'd need an LS for? Every time I see a shout it's always for a BRD, COR, or Ochain PLD, so I'm getting the feeling it's mostly just LS groups filling in slots they don't have people currently online for.

If so, going to be fun finding a competent LS on Asura that doesn't religiously use clipper or stunbots.

Alright, I know nothing about bard.

Wiki says minuet/march last for two minutes, but troub doubles duration. How does this equal 9-10 min songs then, shouldn't it be 4? or is there gear that increases song duration?

[sluggo]

There's a couple AF3 pieces that increase song duration - maybe other gear/instruments too.

As for DRG, I've seen some good numbers using the new polearm, but it was mostly eyeballed and some skimpy parses.

The formulas for TP/hit (https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/TP) don't say where to round. Most weapon pages on Bgwiki round to the hundredths place. Is it safe to assume that is the value used for further calculations? Is it rounded up to the hundredths place or down?

Anyone having issues with ultimate pay or other payment options? Spent the past hour trying to pay for one of my accounts with no success, and it's starting to piss me off.

(I use paypal normally)

When using UltimatePay, I find IE more successful. I don't know how their security protocol works but I've noticed that when using Chrome to pay it sometimes reject it, and when I go to using IE it works perfectly. After some time of failed attempts though they'll block the account/ip out entirely. You'll have to use ClicknBuy.

The final value is floored to the tenths place.

Tried FF (always worked for me) & Chrome. Will try IE I guess.

I tried ultimate pay: paypal (my default, I actually have some paypal money on there so it should take that by default, I think)
PayPal Express Checkout has rejected your payment attempt. Please select another way to pay. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I try using the CC option on ultimate pay
We're sorry but your credit card was declined. If you feel this is in error, please contact us.

I tried making a Click and buy account, added my CC, and I get this red X:


did my cc get fucked or something? >.>

edit: Looking at the actual click and buy website, instead of just that tiny portion from the SE page, looks like I need to confirm the card. Sigh.

Thanks. Why is the hundredths place listed on BGwiki?

Wiki says minuet/march last for two minutes, but troub doubles duration. How does this equal 9-10 min songs then, shouldn't it be 4? or is there gear that increases song duration?

Base duration is 120 seconds, every "increases duration" or song+1 is equal to 12 more seconds (10%) of duration. e.g a brd with +2 march flute and AF3+2 body will result in 12x3=36 additional seconds of duration for a total of 2m36 on March.

All troubadour does (ignoring the perma ES effect) is double the duration of a song.

An optimum brd singing marchs will have ghorn(+40%), AF3 neck (+10%), AF3+2 body (+10%), Af3+2 hands (+10%), Marduk legs +1 (+10%) for a total of +80% duration: 12x8=96 seconds of additional duration, or 3m36 duration for marchs. With troub active 3m36x2 = 7m12

Only way to get songs higher duration would be with mythic dagger which adds 50% to base duration, giving 4m36 songs or 9m12 under troub with perfect gear.

I now know more about brd than I ever wanted to know.


As far as the credit card issue goes, call your bank/card provider and see if they were rejecting it for some reason. If using paypal try sourcing your bank acct number instead of your card number if applicable.
