Ridill drop rate changed?

[Ryko]

Reminds me of a story last year right when we were starting to go to aery. I said I wouldnt be able to camp one day and they were wondering why. A person from my church wanted me to hang out with his son who was dying of cancer. Someone mentioned that with my luck the ridill would drop that day and I wouldnt get it but I was like "yeah I dont think I could go up to the guy and be like 'sorry dude but ridill > cancer'."

I wish I had a lot of time on my hands, but I don't. Heck, only time I can post on these forums is during work. Other than hat, I'm busy with friends, girl and FFXI.

I wish I could be dedictated to a pixeled dragon that drops my sword. I'm wondering how the JPs do it though...

you should be happy your not lol
I still dont get it how can some people camp faf over 100 time(I know a ls claimed faf +250 cant imagine howmany times they actully camped it
Last year they came few times to claim Nidhogg but fafnir poped they claimed it then slept it and escape they need nothing from faf (3-5hours a day / Walk to DA+3hours window plus got to be there before first window and killing it half a hour with +100 claim and 1-2 ridills drops

I didnt know as human being its possible to reach that stage of being lame and boring but i guess some people have no life so it doesnt matter to them they rather camp boring shit for 300 time just to get a sword that no one give it crap at RL

SE did there research and they knew alot of retards and boring people play mmorpg
So what they did is add something lame for retards so they can still get some $$$ from them

its 3.00 AM and im drunk~ somehow i cant understand what i wrote

Khalody, Yo. I ain't into the king scene or anything but I do recall JP Ls' holding onto kings before zerg timer so they'd shift the window to a more appropriate one no? I believe I'm talking about armada though, not will or rayforce or kingdom. Anyways, I'm patiently awaiting Bercus' interview. I want to see how the dev team reacted to certain things.

[khalody]

hey sassi
nah i was in armada b4 and now Rayfoce we never hold any HNM
i'm talking abut the new JP LS leader named is (Tribe)
and thay didt hold cuz thay have only 2 blm in zone and it was ther 1st fight with fafnir so it went to SSJ @10%
then we got it.

DRK isn't as bad but a Ridill on a THF is enough to make baby jesus cry. It might as well be adorning someone's mannequin.

I sincerely hope that THF is leveling warrior now.

This thf archain on valefor thinks ridill is better than merc. dagger for thf lol

This rdm rydiu on valefor thinks fast cast doesn't lower spell recast time lol

[Jaffar]

lol & that's a pretty sick SB on JoL archain

That's a really really nice Shark Bite heh.

So Merc. Kris vs Ridill eh? Well, there's 3 types of fights to consider: HNM, exp, and farming.

Farming, hands down the Ridill is going to destroy the Merc. Kris. Comparing a D40 vs a D8 weapon is laughable when accuracy and attack aren't an issue.

Exp, it's kind of a toss up if you ask me. On something like THF Mamools you're never going to hit with a Ridill. But the Merc. Kris is just really weak, you'll build TP fast, but your DoT will be much weaker compared to a strong dagger. I'd just sooner use a Sirroco Kukri than either of them in exp.

HNM, you're not using either of them. You'll either be giving too much TP, or you'll be hitting for plenty o' zeros or whiffing up a storm. The only time you would use either is if you were sent to build TP elsewhere and come in for a SC. And in those cases, you usually have to kill the monster with just pure damage over time, and most any monster you're going to build TP on is going to give you 100 TP. So basically, who the hell cares at that point. Umm, offhand a Justice Sword for +7 STR then.

So Ridill wins 1 to 0 vs Merc Kris. But Merc Kris is pretty crappy, so that's a bad comparison to begin with. 8)

I totally agree, using a Ridill is going to make quick work of anything you farm, in that instance Ridill will be better than anything you can offhand.

If you need a spam weapon the Justice Sword works fine and even stacks with job/equipment given Double/Triple ATT traits, is an easy drop (with low competition), and would give the WAR and DRK mains one less person to lot against.

I wouldn't mainhand a Ridill because for the most part, dagger has better WS anyway.

In terms of XP, if I even decide to go /NIN in the first place, I'd use an offhand dagger too (probably not a Mercurial). I'm happy with a low to mid 80% ACC with Meats or 90-95% ACC with Sushi (I'm a huge fan of ATT food though, a 210 Sword skill would be restrictive). You can use Feint, but even with 3x dumped into it, it's still a 6 min /recast (try it out on Kirin though, you can close your eyes and hear that it's active, lol).

I like using a decent damage/low delay dagger (currently Blau Dolch) if the party will allow me to sub /WAR.

HNM, you're not using either of them. You'll either be giving too much TP, or you'll be hitting for plenty o' zeros or whiffing up a storm. The only time you would use either is if you were sent to build TP elsewhere and come in for a SC.

So basically, who the hell cares at that point. Umm, offhand a Justice Sword for +7 STR then.

Aye, HNMs wouldn't even have me subbing /NIN (I might consider it for VoS adds, but I could just bite it and use Bloody Bolts). I really prefer /WAR and /DRK on those as it is. The WS is being assigned to someone else anyway, I won't need shadows. Curing me if I've done a WS with Trick (and still zeroed in the hate queue) will generate no hate for the WHM with respect to the main enemy.

Aspidochelone - Evisceration
Tiamat - Evisceration

Since you can do these from the front (if you make sure to keep yourself @ 0 in the queue in order to use Hide) you can just shove a WS into the tank without all that saladtosser crap or the "I" formation. The tank can do whatever he needs to and doesn't have to make any special effort to accommodate me other than standing still.

BTW, I don't know what the hell Rydiu is talking about.
