My randomer question, what raw fish do people actually eat over other available foods?
mostly I see the raw fish only lasts 5 minutes and normally has +2 dex -4 mnd.
Pipira gives +14.5% attack (no cap??)

The following equipment allows consumption of raw fish, which is normally restricted to Mithra only.
Exocets, Pagures, Calamar, Narval

Go with Usu Kote 10 Evasion and 5 Subtle Blow is just awesome - went with AGI setup religiously for a long time but found it to be a lie in the end. S kote rotting in mog ever since I got Usu Hands.

Quick question:

In Nyzul Isle Investigations, one of our f96 discholders comes thief usually.

When she hit/tag the mob and Treasure Hunter is applied, can she then warp out before its death and TH stays active on the mob?

I assume yes since I heard (somewhere cant find><) that TH is a status effect, and can't be erased once applied unless mob resets. However, our team doesn't take TH on boss lightly so would like confirmation.

Thanks.

Can you pop RNG AF3 NM on another job?

brd earrings, mind you my brd is going to be an hnm brd only. Musical & ???, I've heard wind or singing earrings work. Which would be best?

[Kitsumi]

When a DRG has his wyvern out, does the wyvern consume exp loss per kill to the owner?

Was it ever confirmed if 2-leaf/3-leaf mandy bud's don't give a treasure hunter/etc. bonus?

I use Musical and Loquacious, but Musical + either Singing or Wind would be good too (especially if you need the 3 skill to reach a higher tier on Blade Madrigal or Victory March). From everything I've seen, and the (limited) testing I did way back when, +wind and +singing are equivalent.

Not sure if this has been answered yet but, Can I break my latent for Tachi of Trials on Fortifications if I don't get an Allied Tag?

Yes, I soloed my RNG AF3 on RDM.

No, from what I understand the THF must be on the monster's hate list. If she warps, she is no longer on the list.

musical/magnetic, otherwise musical and singing/wind.

Because bards need Conserve MP for their songs?
Or Spell Interruption Rate Down?

Nebimonites give Def+20% or somethign I think. Or maybe it was Grims? Idk, really but with a five minute duration I couldn't see that being useful anyway.

Presumably for the MP+ for /WHM spells. Conserve MP+ is pretty close to a placebo of course.

Anyway, my /random question:
Did people figure out how Apkallu hate works yet? I could use some Apkallu eggs and don't want to get penguin raped.

Just spent 4 hours trying to clean weapon on a Fortification. No go, So I'm going to assume you can't clean your weapon off Forts. Just to clarify, Self-Skillchaining, Single Weaponskills, Skillchaining with random Campaign-goers, continuous Skillchains with other people didn't help.

I use Musical & Loquacious. More mp and a teeny bit of fast cast. I save magnetic for other jobs.

Not really, THF just need to be on hate list once for the TH status to get applied. SE devs stated that once applied TH status will wear only if the mob regenerates unclaimed (like after a wipe), so you can freely warp/logout and have TH effect.
(Also: zoninig/dieing does not reset your hate unless the mob is looking for you)

edit: spelling

Why does DNC sub NIN so much? Doesn't Dual Wield have a net TP gain of 0?

[fantasticdan]

brd earrings, mind you my brd is going to be an hnm brd only. Musical & ???, I've heard wind or singing earrings work. Which would be best?

I have loq/magnetic on normally with musical/wind macroed into song casting. There's really no reason to idle in skill earrings.

Well, one good reason to sub NIN is that you get 2 finishers when you use steps instead of 1.
There's probably a couple of other reasons, but my DNC is Lv10 so I don't know all the details about the job.

[fobber]

3 random questions:

1. Does stunning while using an earth staff have any lower resist to the spell or anything negative effect for wearing an earth staff?
2. How does evasion gear work? Let say you have capped evasion and you wear evasion gear, not evasion gear skill.
3. How does subtle blow work? For example, instead of giving the mob 10 tp per hit, it will only give like 8 tp?
