it was confirmed by someone who it happened to in salvage. whether or not it's true outside of that, i don't know.

[dendryte]

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

can anybody confirm if this is true or not? a friend of mine strongly disagrees. hell if i know, though.

Pretty sure that's true.

How about this example? Two BLMs are duoing Ix'MNK. BLM#1 gets hit a few times, which reduces his hate to the minimum. BLM#2 gets hate and dies before BLM#1 has a chance to cast or do anything to gain hate. Ix'MNK will go unclaimed but will still chase after BLM#1. If Ix'MNK dies from DoT while yellow, well, yeah, just pretend that he wasn't going to drop a vice anyway.

Thing used to drop for you, but they changed it at some point. I remember killing boroka once with bio after all of us died, the kill one minute after the wipe was awesome

Is there a list anywhere of all signable foods?

Any food that doesn't stack can be signed.

[Ryna]

Oh... I'm sure I've made non-stackable food before that refused to take a signature. But it was a long time ago, I'll try again, thanks.

Marron Glace can't be signed, I know that for a fact

My g/f's character name is Marren, it was gonna be funny :3

Neither can juices

Any reason for a cor to sub sam in the 60's?

/NIN for another archer's knife/kukri/pullingshadows or /RNG for acc+24 far outweighs Meditate, since unless you're using staves for the elemental shots, hasso/seigan won't work :X

Also to note if you want massive TP gain, COR can equip Joyeuse/M.Kris when /NIN for sidewinder spam, lol;;;

Ah yes! That's what I tried to sign so long ago... was bitterly disappointed too. -.-

Who do I talk to to get a replacement Animator, assuming I completed the quest and tossed mine about a year ago? I'm sick of seeing a solitary "1" on my job levels.

[BRP]

Er, I was using a rule of thumb, I should have said that...

you go back to taru who started quest and he tells you that you can buy another animator for 10k

Double 2A is possible with Brutal right?
So out of 50 rounds with /NIN (100 swings). I should expect brutal will give me 5/100 swings has DA active ?

Does Perfect Dodge work if the THF is asleep?

[Yutuyu]

Yep.

"So out of 50 rounds with /NIN (100 swings). I should expect brutal will give me 5/100 swings has DA active ?"

If you have no native DA, then yes, 5/100. The rest I write from here on out is only valid for people with native DA.

In multi-hit weapon skills DA can fire from /war and from brutal (within the same WS, two extra attacks). Meaning that the two are different effects. There's a whatever %chance that the /war will fire, and there's a 5% chance that the brutal will fire.

When it comes down to the chance of a single attack firing, the /war and the brutal percentages are not simply added, you have to add them properly using statistics since the two fire seperated (and can both fire within 1 WS).

I believe DA % on /war is 10%. Then to determine the resulting percent you get from stacking /war DA with Brutal you have to do this:

There's a 90% chance that DA will not fire from /war, there's a 95% chance that DA will not fire from brutal. Then the chance that it will not fire from either is the intersection between both events, so 90%*95% = 85.5% (instead of the 85% you would expect from a direct addition).

I don't know what the case is with any other double-attack enhancement pieces of gear, only Brutal.

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

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.

all the whm af+1 is highly situational. of the pieces, only healer's mitts is what I wear full time. (if I had HQ blessed mitts this would be different, but the extra enmity and healing skill in exchange for haste was enough for me: if i had more inventory space I'd carry the blessed for recast purposes on raise cycles)

cap+1 is good if you use a gear swap for cure V. personally, I don't worry about cure V specific pieces since 90% of the time that I throw a cure V, three other people throw cures too and that 10 or 15 points I could've had, would just be overcuring anyway.

Briault+1 can replace an errant body or a yigit body for resting tics, which is more like +1 inventory since you can combine your enfeebling and resting body into one piece. this is the other piece I got.

pantaloons are a waste, a duckbills look useful only for whm/nin utsusemi macros. (if you even go for those).

[Tajin]

Thanks, for the replies. Guess i will hold the items and save coins for Loq. / BLM AF+1.
I do like the stats on AF+1 mitts though.

[Spekkio]

has anyone tried bst or /bst in nyzul? seems to me like charming and killing off pets might be an interesting way to go in there. alternatively, how would virelai fair? i've never even cast the damn spell, and i know control is obscenely limited, so it may not be possible to make it work at all.

I'm leveling my RNG58 at the moment, mostly spamming Xbow/Holy bolts~ (I put 5 merits into marksmanship, so this is a better choice atm)

Should I equip Devotee's Mitts / Hunter's Braccae over Noct Gloves(Deadeye at 60) / Akinji Salvars respectively?

Has anyone done the ISNM for Deadeye Gloves (Making a Mockery)? Is it any difficult I can't find many strategies <_<
