Can anyone confirm or disprove is weapons are CLEANED in dynamis ;3
(points or whateverthefuckyouwannacallit)

In my experience, Old Goobues and Morbol Menaces are simply lottery pops off the mandies (and possibly rabbits) there.

I think the Marlboros are lotto off the mandies in the slope to 2nd floor...? Not 100% sure, and I've never killed mourioche or ever really checked, but I heard this, and never cared enough to confirm.

Eight consecutive wins.

Wow fucking owned... Also, when/how was this found out?

Probably by someone killing an EM mob with Sanction each time Al Zahbi won besieged. That would be the easiest way >_>

Yeah, that's what I did, on clusters in Zhayolm. 6-7 are really close though, 7 was 14% and 6 was maybe 12%? I forget. Also I'm not sure if the regen/refresh trigger and food duration increases the same or if it has a different rate.

[size=7]IAnyone can refer me to any rare/ex drops(from NMs or CP item) for ammo and back that'd fit a 75 WHM to run around in? A

Just something to do to pass the time.

Added: I remember there was those boomerang circle thingies, but I'm too low rank for that I think.

Things I can think of that might fight the bill come from ENMs (Hedgehog Bomb) or Assault (Intensifying cape).

Holy ampulla is from an NM in SSG. Low level piece but still not offensive. Healing feather comes from the solo ENM in Mineshaft.

I hate recommending int gear to WHMs but phantom tathlum has mp on it. Also check out what your racial throwing slot thingy is.

Kinda looking for stuff that can't be sold, but thank you anyways ^^)/

does war have an a+ in axe and/or great axe?

[Carnusty]

A- in Axe, A+ in Great axe

so 269 max skill at 75 for axe, 276 skill for Gaxe :3

Yeah, the morbols seem to be lotto off the mandies in the room with the ramp to the second floor, the one that isn't on the map. One time I gathered all the mandies there and got them to kill each other (charm, fight, etc.), and two morbols respawned in the room. After killing them a couple times they never reappeared, so they probably popped as mandies again.

Yes you can.

Logging to POL to remove hate? Does it work or not? quick!

Logging to POL to remove hate? Does it work or not? quick!

This is in dispute, but the theory I subscribe to is that it only resets hate in two situations. One is that while logged you become #1 on the enemy's hate-list, it looks for you, and you're not there so it resets. The other is that in discrete 'ticks' the mob checks everyone who has any amount of hate and if they are logged or zoned it resets their hate, so if you are lucky enough to be logged during such a 'tick' then it will reset in that situation as well.

(This is for full hate reset btw, everyone seems to agree that whether or not this or something similar is true, you definitely lose some hate simply by having not taken any action on the mob for the period of time you spent logging.)

I always just log to a mule, /sea for myself and come back when I stop showing up on the search. has always worked for me.

Which WHM AF+1 piece is worth upgrading? My money would be either gloves, or lolbody so i can play RDM and be uber >.>;.

[banhero]

if i were to be a complete faggot and kill byakko with only bio ii and reraise, how far would i have to be away from him to reraise without taking aggro?

I RR'd on the small bridge of land leading to the teleporter off the island and didn't aggro him.

if you're implying soloing, im not sure that's possible without some sort of flee hack. to my knowledge, to lose aggro from byakko, you'd have to be near one of the teleporters. ie, each island is setup like this:

o==O==o

the upper case O is the main part where the ??? appears and the lower case o's are the teles up and down. when byakko no longer has anything to attack, he returns to the ??? where he was spawned from, regens health until 100%, and then after a few minutes despawns.

now here's the tricky part... byakko moves at flee speed, so assuming that you're at max distance to cast, you'd have to hope he doesnt open with banishga III wiping your shadows, giving you enough time to run away.

my experience on losing aggro from byakko comes only from way back when our rdms fighting him would run back to the teles if they had to convert so that their cure4s wouldn't pull hate. if you were incredibly lucky, you'd be looking at losing probably 30k exp, and i could only really see this being done as blm/nin or rdm/nin. on top of that, rdm doesnt really have epic dark skill, so while i dont think bio can be resisted, im not sure you'd be able to get reraise up + buff + bio on him and then get far enough away each time that he wouldn't aggro when you reraised each subsequent time.

good luck if you try it lol, i'd love to see if it worked.

Healer's Mitts and Cap +1 are the best pieces in their slots for Cure V. Briault's only a 2 skill increase over the NQ, and both the Pantaloons and the Duckbills seem a waste of coins to me.

thanks for the info. i want to try it soro, not really for bragging rights but because i need his pants lol, and my ls may or may not do sky anytime this year. i also trust myself to soro him more than i trust a random alliance. but obviously before i even attempt and use my pop sets i'd have to know his exact aggro range by distance plugin. i realize this is a very unique question so who knows if i'll ever find out.

another question, if byakko were to die from my bio while i am dead (or alive after reraising), assuming he's yellow and aggro-free, would the items still drop to me?

As far as I am aware, if a monster dies of DoT while no-one has claim, no-one gets anything.
