Do Lullaby recast merits and JSE hands participate in the 50% recast cap, or are they independent of it, allowing you to go lower?

[Callisto]

That's a fantastic question actually...I've never seen it tested.

To tack on to that: Do Minstrel's/Gomlek/Manteel also affect recast time?

Can't imagine they would, their description seems pretty specific. Never tested it though.

What grip should I use on dragoon, double attack+?

[Khrno]

Pole Grip > all.

[Tricen]

Cept on Soboro, I think.

Didn't it work like Ridill? Like how Brutal Earring supposedly made it better

[ubermonkey]

How much store tp do I need to 6hit on drk/sam with tred? With perdu?

[Khrno]

Tred: 16 so just 1 more stp.

Perdu: 23 so 8 more.

[ubermonkey]

thanks.

With rajas/chiv/brutal whats worth swapping around to maintain 6hit? Sniper > ecphoria ring? or is there something better I've missed?

[Tan]

Thats probably your best route but depending on your ACC you could obtain a 6 hit simply from connecting all your hits on a Guilotine, but another option would be to hunt down an Askar Korazin.

Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to do nyzul (askar head ftw, since I'll almost certainly never see an aces), it's not too practical for me, with salvage/other events owning all my time. So ecphoria it is. Need to finish ranking up for perdu yet anyways.

How does Bard's Merit song Adventurer's Dirge work?

Does it reduce enmity in same fashion as Collaborator
or does it reduce enmity build up?

[Eldelphia]

anyone been getting chips from Omega in limbus lately? It's probably our 3rd omega post-update and still no chips have dropped. We farm all 5 pods and use the max time possible.

We had a stingy pod drop run but we got a chip weekend before last. Made up for it with legs and feet though.

...and, I still remain unconvinced that 2% DA will do better than 3% Crit for RR spamming.

Could just be sitting at 19% DA, and roughly 19% Crit rate before grip, that 22% Crits + the increase from hitting 108 Dex Tier during WS will do more than I lose from 2% DA, even factoring the extra WS every theoretical 300 swings?


Interesting thought, Crit is checked after Acc isn't it?

Can you have a hit that was supposed to crit but missed, or does it have to be a landed hit to check for the crit?

Would be a subtle little upside since DA's can miss, and not count when the first hit kills the mob.

[Freysi]

I don't have much Salvage experience, but what would be your perfect setup for being able to farm pretty much anything? Assume exceptional people that have leet skills/gear and can learn and adapt.

Would 4xMNK, RDM, BRD do it?

I would think that when the attack round is figured, it would go if hit lands y/n -> Hit is critical y/n -> Hit will double attack y/n. Then, hit will miss y/n -> Hit will Zanshin(assuming zanshin is available) y/n . I could be way off, but who knows really.

Do you intend to farm without a THF?! lol Change one MNK to THF and one MNK to WHM and you can kill anything. May not be able to kill every NM plus Boss in a run, but you can kill whatever your target would be for that run.

Hey, there. I'm looking to get chimera blood pretty fast for cheap alchemy skill ups on polyflan paper rather than going the Prism Powders route. I'm having a higher level friend synth the blood and polyflan, so I have a couple questions.

1. Chigoe Mobs in Abundance, witch is better? (Assuming /thf for TH/Steal)
Caedarva Mire, Bhaflua Thickets, Wajoam Woodlands, or Grauberg/RolanBerry/Vunkerl [S]?

If you can, provide any spawns you remember. I don't recall seeing chigoes in Grauberg, Otherwiki says 35 spawns.

2. Has anyone ever Harvested in Grauberg? Other wiki says Lesser Chigoe is a common result, and I think it's a much easier path than hunting the bastards' mob forms. I'd rather hear someone's input rather than hauling ass there myself.

It works like wearing -enmity gear.
