As a COR/RNG with 0/0 MP, will the latent on Uggalepih Pendant (MP <51% - Mag ATK bonus), still go off on a Quick draw? Or does the game think 0/0 MP is 100%, where as 0/1 MP etc. is equal to 0%?

Ugly Pendant has MP+20, so you're fine either way as you'll be 0/20. However, I think 0/0 is considered 0% for the sakes of that sort of latent.

Ugg gives +20MP, so you automatically get 0/20 and therefore meet the requirements of the latent. Unless you have -MP gear on. <mpp> with 0/0mp yields 0% but not sure if it works.

If you macro in Crimson Greaves those add a bit more as well, to give some breathing room for Evoker's ticks. I'm hopefully getting my Pendant this weekend pending on drops(I have 2 NQ trigs to use), but I have a few MP merits so I might need to do some trickery with a Physical Earring to get latent active.

[Bloodanaki]

Sweet, I didn't even see the +20. ^^/
How much would ugg effect a quick draw, about 5%?

[Judai]

Ugg is +8MAB iirc

The pendant itself doesn't count toward your "max MP" when calculating the latent. So for instance if you are wearing a Wal. Turban (30 MP) and a Pendant (20 MP), it will only go off when you are 0/50 ~ 15/50, but not at 16/50 or higher. Not sure how this works when you are 0/20 (so 0/0 in terms of MP figured into latent) however even if 0/0 will trigger latent, if you have evokers roll up or are in a PT getting hit by ballads it probably won't activate if you put it on and then get a tick of MP, so you'd want to try to time it in such a way that you equip it and quick draw before such a tick occurs (or use -MP gear to stay at 0 so it doesn't happen).

And yes it's +8, so about a 6%~7% increase in damage assuming a few pieces of MAB gear that COR can wear and Wizard's Roll.

Really? I thought that only happened for 'Converts ## HP into MP' gear. Do you know where you saw this info by any chance?

I tested it a while ago. I posted the results and a small example here: viewtopic.php?p=478987#p478987

Ugh...I guess I'll still have to try to work out something with my Phsyical Earring and macro swaps...I have 3 MP merits from RDM that I need to work around. I'll hopefully be getting my pendant tonight depending on drops, have 2 trigs to use. Thanks for the info.

I have a quick question regarding pup. Is there anyway to unequip attachments after they've already been fitted? I'm assuming you can't but thought i'd ask. Getting tired of pup and wouldn't mind some more gil.

[Osede]

can't recall if i have done it before or not, since my pup only lvl 30 lol... but have you tried dismiss your puppet first before doing it?

My question:

Gorget or Torque for Savage Blade?

[Nyuneko]

I am new to HELM, so I want to ask a few very stupid questions...

1) What would happen if no one is in zone, will the HELM point moves on its own over a set period of time? Or will it just stay there until someone go and log it?

2) How many HELM point can appear simultaneously in the same zone? Is it 1 point across the whole zone?

Thanks in advance.

[Lexa]

1) It moves. Don't know how often, I'm no HELM expert, but they will move after a while.

2) More than one, total amount varies per zone I believe, but definitely more than one.

Gorget, though the difference is pretty negligible.

Question on Samurai and 6-hit:

I just obtained Usukane Sune-ate, and I have 5 store TP merits. So Merits 10 + Boots 7 + Rajas 5 + Brutal 1 = +23 Store TP, If I remember right its 21? Store TP for 6-hit. Is that right, and if so, would it be a good idea to drop the 5th Store TP for something like Third Eye?

Edit: Do I need to WS in Usukane Sune-ate to make the 6-hit work?

[Senji]

yes

[Myrna]

HP and MP merits, are they at full effect when weak?

If you keep all your Store TP merits, you can use that setup and then WS in Rutters. If you drop Store TP merit, you'll probably need to WS in the Usukane.
