.DAT Mining: 7/7/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

[Treize Kordero]

Runje Desaali in Eastern Adoulin (J-10) now accepts the following items.

4,000 Bayld

Tlalpoloani / Macoquetza / Camatlatia / Icoyoca / Tlamini / Suijingiri / Zoquittihuitz / Quauhpilli Helm / Chocaliztli Mask / Xux Hat / Quauhpilli Gloves / Xux Trousers / Chocaliztli Boots

This made me happy that's more inventory space and every time I do WKR if these 106 items drop that's 4k bayld a pop.

[Warusha]

I want Valkyrie's Trews leg model back. Literally the best looking pants NA. To bad dressup won't work with lockstyle to always get your fashion on for the paupers of Vanadiel.

[LiquidFriend]

About fucking time they gave goldsmithers something new.

[CubsWoo]

Running around the areas trying to figure out where they might have put the Geomantic Reservoir for Geo-Haste. Trying Drifts on a hunch but I really have no clue.

[Sechs]

No Delve version for the new WKR Katana... /disappointment
Altough there is a new 119 Katana, probably a drop from one of the 2 new BCs.
Nice FC body for light jobs (/emo: after all the effort it took me to defeat my bad luck and finally get a Vanir Cotehardie!)

New DW belt All Jobs, goodbye Patientia? (was pretty silly paying >9mils gil for that anyway)
The new Synergy Rings are pretty hot and the fact it's Synergy means that HQ should be (???) slightly more common compared to normal professions? Not sure how Synergy works tbh but I always assumed the HQ rates were higher than a T1 on normal professions.
Considering for some rings the HQ are the good ones (because they get the additional stats) I wonder how insanely expensive these rings will be.
Oh and also, no new earrings. Odd...

Anybody found out where the new crafting torques come from?

RDM/WHM casting RR with no gear on only haste II, 34 sec recast

9 sec is due to fastcast traits, makes it 51 sec

so haste II is shaving off 17 sec recast

28.3333% haste??????


Indi haste:
Reraise casting geo/whm with no gear on ecxept for +5 geomancy bell (only one i have left ._.), and full merits in handbell/geomancy

40 sec recast on reraise with indi- haste

30% haste?? wtf, probably 25% without the +5 from the bell

geo/rdm can auto cap magic haste now

[Prothescar]

Erratic Flutter is 30% Haste, 302/1024 or so.

2:06 Klimaform Recast

2:06 = 126 = 7560

10800 * 0.705078125 = 7615
7615/60 = 126

i'll check for the exact /1024 later

[Martel]

seems like a good enough place...

Indi haste.

Firstly, haste spell and indi haste stack. two separate buffs as expected.

Cast with no gear on indi haste. 778 combined skill.

GEO/WHM
reraise recast 0:51

15% haste?

Then I recast indi-Haste with 816 combined skill, and Geomancy +5(Dunna)

Reraise recast 0:40.

Ummm. that's a looot of haste, right?

Like, 33% or so? Someone with a better grasp of haste math please confirm.

whats the duration?

[Prothescar]

60 * 60 = 3600
3600 * 0.677734375 = 2440
2440/60 = 40

this is in line with 33%

[Damane]

3600 * 0.677734375 = 2440
2440/60 = 40

this is in line with 33%

looks like they made the spells on par with 2 march spells from +5 instruments

I'd wagger to say a geo/rdm will offer more to a pt now with the rdm debuffs it gets to stack on top, this is assuming they can stand near melees.

EDIT: anyone found the geomagnetic foundaint for geo-haste yet?

EDIT: nvm found it Geo-Haste is in Marjami Ravine J-6, south of ergon locus

[fattucus]

F-5 in Cirdas Cavern to find 2 maroliths

[Ophannus]

Someone ran around shouting that Subduction is doing like 4k damage, is a 27MP spell and is a 5s recast. Dunno if trolling. If so, could be a badass retinal glare type spell if geared for it I guess.

[Draylo]

The gravity effect is insanely potent too.

[Prothescar]

It seems to have a potent WSC and fTP. I need to wait for ice day to end before I can pinpoint, but so far this thing looks pretty ridiculous

[Outlaw]

I wonder if the gravity nerf applies to non spell effects like Rudra's Storm. Unlocking that was the next thing on my to-do list. ><;

[Ophannus]

Damn was hoping for some crazy -100 eva shennanigans stacking Distract and Grav2. Come to think of it, it would be hilarious if Distract I/II was -20/-40 the same as Gravity I and Gravity II. Although the benefit could be that now enfeebling gear like emp body and saboteur will properly enhance it(as well as sticking on evasive wind based mob where gravity typically failed).

Grav spells are virtually worthless now, nobody ever uses weight outside of Ballista or kited jailer fights.

-40 evasion equals 1 madrigal song, thats not bad for a job with now 30% haste II and various ways to cripple the enemy, assuming it is -40 eva and not more

[Malithar]

Kept it up 100% pre update, prolly still keep it up towards the end of fights with Rngs, just incase hate gets pulled.

Geo Haste numbers are very nice, almost too nice. Wonder if we'll be seeing a rise in full dispel spamming mobs, making it's undispellable nature worth a damn. Can't wait to finish Ergon and see if it hits magic cap or not.

[Darkmagi]

Absolutely no math, but flurry2 seems quite potent based on eyeballing <.< I'm hoping it mirrors haste2 values.
