Job Points discussion

[Noonstar]

So double CAP campaign is here, thought i'd give this a try, anyone know the best way/method/place to do this? see a pair of BLUs and PLD in Dho gates, all other areas are empty...

[Noonstar]

ara, maybe i jumped the gun with CaP points, lol thought it went into affect long time ago, but i think it just did 13 min ago, before had like 60 points per kill in marj ravine, now it's like 114~ easy, dho gates got nearly 300 , will try it again later

[Malithar]

For casters, I've mostly stuck to Dho Gates Umbrils. Woh Gates Acuex aren't bad, but I had resist issues on anything besides Geo with +MAcc up.

[Sechs]

For a mage with worse gear? Cirdas maybe? There's many Umbrils/Acuex close to the Skirmish thingy.

[Shadowmeld]

I get about 1/2 a cap point just doing 1 ra'kaznar skirmish with a good group. Sadly, I'm the whm so I guess all I'm getting is Magic Accuracy.

[Ihina]

What about MP from BENEDICTION?!?!

[Raelia]

What about MP from BENEDICTION?!?!

It's your MP only.

[Malithar]

Even though it's just your MP, I think it's an effect that's in line with some of the other useful JPs. Only time I find myself using Benediction is when shits really hit the fan and/or support is sucking with refresh. Gaining back 30% MP (eventually) would be very nice in that situation.

[Lyramion]

Made an awesome discovery today doing Skirmish on Double CP:

For one use of my Double CP Ring I actually made 48 000 CPs. So it seems like the double CP campaign's CP will be doubled on what you get, but NOT count towards the 12k cap for your Ring.


This is at least my 1 datapoint observation for now.

Indeed. HP Set for Devotion and MP Set for Benediction.

If it's like the double XP campaign, the bonus from "Dedication" is also doubled.

Ya each mob in skirm was at least 850 CP with chains going up to 1100.

[Hitou]

You need to get 24k bonus CAP for the ring to wear off since the dedication effect is doubled too. So 48k total per ring charge which is pretty nice. Too bad the event is so short.

[Byrthnoth]

So, about job point chains. I think I've seen this (just out soloing job points):
1) Chain 10 gives the maximum bonus of about +50%
2) Time between kills scales similar to experience points, with higher chains requiring you to be faster to maintain chain
3) You need to get down to about 30 seconds between kills to maintain chain indefinitely




Edit: Eh, I feel like I missed something. There must be another factor, because I've killed at chain 10 and gotten 556 CP off these Acuex and I've also killed at chain 10 and gotten 460 CP.

[Ophannus]

Are the acuex all the same level? Did you kill it with different ilvl gear than the previous chain 10(ilvl affects exp/cp too i think). Maybe it factors in previous chained mobs levels so if you got chain 1-9 on level 115's you get a smaller chain bonus on that chain #10 115 mob than if you previously chained 1-9 on lvl 120 mobs and THEN chain# 10'd the 115 mob. Like a compounding level dependent chain bonus.

[Byrthnoth]

They were both in the same camp and I'm basically running in circles. Leeches range from 113-115 and Acuex are 114-116. It's possibly just the difference between a 114 and 116 Acuex.

[Limlight]

btw to people who think that they can only get into cp parties on optimal jobs. That's a load of crap. you can still hit 80k+/hour with pup, blu, dnc, thf and stuff. Just as long as people are 119 geared and can meet acc requirements (which really aren't THAT bad).

P.S. I am soooooooo sick of foot kick and whirl claws. -_-

Even if we have a rdm or sch healing, people just tend to bring an outside mule or two for some extra cures.

[Byrthnoth]

Oh yeah, the above picture was from BLM solo.

[geno3302]

I've hit 80k/hr (160k if double CP) with SMN WHM BRD COR PLD DRG. On SMN it's better if you solo Acuex while the rest of the PT kills other shit. SMN can solo Acuex for about 25k/hr (50k if double cp \o/)
930 ACC before buffs caps with BRD + COR I think

[Limlight]

yea 930 is around (i don't know the exact number off the top of my head) to cap with double mad, or 1 mad/hunters.
