    Claustrum / Gate of Tartarus WS Testing

    Summary: 60% CHR modifier, fTP fixed at 2.75. No mods on other stats. (Big thank you to VZX for crunching the final numbers)

    Post-WS Refresh is 8mp/tick, 8/tick, stacks with Refresh, Ballad (and probably Evoker's Roll), and Auto-Refresh. Lasts 20 seconds at 100% TP, 40 at 200%, 60 at 300%.

    Attack Down effect untested.

    "Big" hit multiplier for Claustrum is 2.5. No hidden MAB or Avatar Perpetuation Cost reduction that we could see.

    Methodology: For each trial, SA+WS on Tiny Mandragora. Repeat until a peak value is repeated. Assume pDIF was capped at 3.0. Perform trials with etudes for each stat at 100% TP, as well as base cases at 100% and 300% TP.

    Subject: Vipey, Tarutaru F SMN75/THF37

    Base Stats:
    STR 51
    DEX 64
    VIT 54
    AGI 69
    INT 77
    MND 62
    CHR 65

    Enemy: Tiny Mandragora

    Session 1: No gear equipped except claustrum.
    8pm-10:20pm PDT, July 7, 2006

    (careful not to have songs up for recording normal hits)
    Normal hit: 130, 142, 149, 150, 163, 165, 171, 174, 183, 185, 187, 196
    Big hit: 454, 458, 466, 484, 487 (repeated)
    Crit: capping at 249 (repeated)
    Big crit: capping at 621 (repeated)

    Claustrum gives 10TP/hit so it's easy to do flat 100% testing.

    After crunching the numbers, it was obvious to me that fSTR was not capped. We then performed the STR and CHR tests with STR gear and sushi.

    dmg = pDIF * [fTP * ( WD + fSTR + [WSC * floor(sum(mods * stats)])]

    WD = 72
    fSTR cap = floor(72/9) + 8 = 16
    WSC = 0.83

    STR 79, CHR 65: 990
    990 = 3 * [fTP * (72 + 16 + [0.83 * floor(sum(mods * stats))])]
    330/fTP = 88 + 0.83 * floor(sum(mods * stats)) [eqn1]

    [eqn2-eqn1]
    30/fTP = 0.83 * floor(MOD_CHR * 22)

    If fTP = 3.0 then MOD_CHR ~= 0.55.
    If fTP = 2.75 then MOD_CHR ~= 0.60.

    You need one to upgrade and quit.
    One to upgrade figure out why they quit and report back the mods.
    Anyone at this point with stage 4 already might as well finish.

    Anyone stage 3 or below still upgrading staff ...

    Congrats on a relic you can't even farm spiders with.

  9. #9

    Is it 100% confirmed that it has no magic attack bonus or -avatar perp?

    Actually even when farming spiders with Fenrir out, she has a hard time using her MP.

  11. #11

    Typically, Fenrir tanks, she does SATA + Spirit Taker, gains back maybe 600mp or so, and then BP's on Fenrir to get back hate. The net MP use is decently positive, although we don't have any hard numbers yet.

    Assuming that she paid for it mainly herself it's a job well done. But does it actually add any real utility to the job? or can you just farm spiders faster?

    Yeah, she's been collecting currency since mid-2004, and was fortunate enough to get a good chunk of it at like 10k apiece. She was the first NA alchemist to 100 on our server, too. I wouldn't say it adds utility to her job, but it's the best weapon to wear if you're full-time SMN and meleeing I suppose.

    It really deserves to have magic attack and/or av perp, but it's a nice toy regardless. She's put in a lot of effort, I hope she has fun with it.

    Would be a better staff for blm melee, smn has other options which would make it pretty situational. (imo)

    How much dmg does the WS avarage on other stuff without SA?

    Unlike a lot of relic upgraders, she didn't have unrealistic expectations that the weapon would revolutionize the way she played the game. The relic holders I know of on Titan who quit shortly after they finished were NINs thinking Kikoku would magically make them outparse everyone else or something.

    Vipey still has a number of goals in the game that include finishing her SMN and MNK relic sets. She still enjoys exploring the new expansion, leveling other jobs, and the game in general. She doesn't camp kings (and has never since 2004) so she isn't burned out and/or on the verge of quitting.

  19. #19

    she has a lvl 5 relic for a job that she hasn't finished the relic set?

    pretty ridiculous
