]I have a question about Sea Gorgets. I used the search but it came up with too many results, and I'm much too tired to look at them all. Forgive me if this has been asked many times before.
Light gorget; does it cover all the elements of light, (Wind, Thunder, Fire & Light) or does it only cover Transfixion?

And a second question:
As a result of having both Light and Dark Gorgets, would you cover every weaponskill that can be used in conjunction with an Elemental Gorget?

No. Light gorget will only work for WS with transfixion, fusion, or level 3 light (relic) properties. Same thing for dark except compression, gravitation, and level 3 dark instead obviously.

And no, there is no real reason light and dark gorget require an extra yovra organ.

IIRC, Flame Gorget doesn't work with Tachi: Kaiten ("can continue Light" property) according to Ruke test.

Uhm, why would it? Kaiten is light/fragmentation isn't it? I don't see how that relates to flame gorget, or the topic at hand...

I assume your logic works "This gorget with property x works on specific weapon skills iff the specific weapon skills have skillchain property containing x"

Transfixion contains Transfixion. hence light gorget works.
Fusion contains Transfixion and liquefaction. hence both light and flame gorget works.

The exception is the L3 light property from relic WS;
Since Kaiten contains L3 light (liquefaction, transfixion, impaction, detonation), then the respective gorgets (flame, light, thunder, breeze gorget) should work on it right? It's not. Ruke test showed the otherwise. Consequently, light, thunder, and breeze gorget shouldn't work on Kaiten for its L3 SC property.

trade the quest npc a weapon of the type you want your npc to use. can do it at any time.

Thank you very much. I initially traded a Tachi and wondered why it would not work. Then I realized that it was not one of the seven tradeable great katanas, and an Uchigatana was accepted XD.

Kaiten has no liquefraction or fusion property, it can not close these weaponskills, so it's obvious flame gorget shouldn't work (and it doesn't.) However Kaiten closes light specifically, not through normal SC means(distortion to fusion), but by level 3 light -> level 3 light. I suppose it's possible SC didn't program gorgets to work with these dark or light properties, but that would be stupid on their part IMO.

get darksteel, even long before 2h buff this held true. the extra base dmg > 5acc

VZX's point is that the gorgets work on the constituent elements (there's no 'distortion gorget') you boost distortion with ice or water, respectively.

so there's no reason that flame wouldn't work, but light would. (light gorget is 'light' element, not 'light' SC)

Does anything effect the proc rate on Ice Spikes paralyze?

[Saraphym]

Does anything effect the proc rate on Ice Spikes paralyze?

don't know if this is obvious or not, but level seems to be the only definite factor. Same or lower level mobs seem to get paralyzed a lot more.

No conclusive testing, but I've always thought AF2 legs help.

[shihei]

Isn't there some armor that enhances the effect of spikes spells. think it was a IS item?

Duelist's Tights.

[Malinn]

Theres also the Mercenary's Trousers for 24k Imperial standing. And Duelist's Tights only affects spike damage, not proc rate.

[Spoony Bob]

Is there any way to trade more than one of an item to an NPC at the same time through macro/text, like /item <t> with single items.

Brother's just started and looking to help him bump up his fame early with millioncorn.

[Samu]

Is there anywhere with proof for this? I've noticed considerable more proc on para effect with ice spikes with duelist than with just without. Damage has always been either 6 or 7.

Fairly certain Duelist Tights only affects Blaze spike damage, though I tested(read: messed around with) them a while ago

[Ohemgee]

I was going to test it while running around getting KS's in Mire (aggroing Chigoes and letting them hit me).


Most likely INT is a factor, but could be Enhancing as well? MND is paralyze, but eh...

What would be better:
1)Chaos Roll/Hunter's Roll/March 2x
2)Chaos Roll/Hunter's Roll/Minuet/March
3)Chaos Roll/Fighter's Roll/Minuet/Madrigal
4)Other

Assuming the following : 2h Gaxe War, Ridill WAR, MNK well geared, RDM and they eat meat. Mamools mostly.

I've been thinking over this one for a bit here as I started meriting once again, I like choice #1 generally, but also like #2.

This is what I always thought as well. A reason why I never took them out of safe. I rather nuke in Mahatma with my Ele skill merits =/

[evilpaul]

How much Acc does a MNK need w/ merits to eat meat at most merit camps?
