Randomer Question Thread

[Ryushii]

What would be the best food for soloing? Talking like RDM/NIN melee soloing random stuff, from campaign to other things.

Edit: Using dusk gear, af hat, scorp harness, acc rings, and sword/genbu shield.

[Amele]

I'm on 67 sam in the mire atm and the imps all check low evasion. Why the fuck am I parsing 54% acc atm?

because the /c message doesn't include level adjustment. they're about 14 levels higher than you; so if nagamaki's equations still hold, that's a -28% hit rate give or take a little bit.

there's a 1 day wait after bahav1 to be able to do bahav2 right?

if so, is it 1 day after you get the bc and get the key item or is it 1 day after you do the cs after v1? <.<

Is there a 1 day wait? As in earth day, or game day?

Because we are doing v1 for someone tomorrow and after that we are doing a few v2s.

(If there is a day wait it should be after the cs.)

Are colibri resistant to evasion down, or does dark mezraq just have a low proc rate?

[Pendulum]

Questions about elemental magic and day/weather bonuses.

Sorcerer's Tonban seems like a bad translation from Japanese so: does it only provide the 5% if you're casting on the correct day or does it also proc with matching weather. For example, casting thunder with thunder weather on windsday (no obi), 5% bonus or not?

Secondly, say I'm using rairin obi on mount zhayolm on thundersday, but earth weather has just popped. Am I going to get a random 10% penalty added to my thunder 4? And if so, is it added to the spell after the bonus (making it the same as neutral day/weather) or is the bonus not added (making it just a 10% penalty).

Thanks. I feel confused from writing those questions with all their 'if's

The bonuses with negate each other.

[Suiram]

The tonban is day-only trigger.

As for the obi and conflicting weather question. If it was just Lightningsday you'd get the 10% bonus fulltime, and if it was just earth weather you'd get the random 10% reduction (earth obi would give you 10% reduction fulltime), but I'm uncertain whether or not obi + lightningsday + earth weather would mean you get fulltime 10% bonus, fulltime no difference, 2/3 10% bonus with 1/3 no difference, or 2/3 10% bonus with 1/3 10% reduction. Would be interesting to see. Also curious if obi with good double weather and bad day would give +25% with random +15% damage or something else altogether.

I'm curious as to what i should wear currently over what i have now, and the next piece in line for when i level up. I don't want to get too ahead of myself so i'm not worried bout the additional upgrades after the next piece til that time comes. Really it looks like my question is about Hands/Feet/Legs for my current setup.

I've soloed almost entirely up to this point, and i still need to do my next limit break so I have time to stop and farm to get whatever i need before I break my cap and start partying in ToAU places.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Main: Grand Knigh'ts Lance or Dark Mezraq
Ammo: Smart Grenade or Tiphia Sting probably forever
Head: Patrocleus Helm or Voyager Sallet would be appropriate
Hands: TBH I think Battle Gloves or RSE depending on race are you best bet for a long ass time.
Legs: Crow isn't really practical as you can jump your hate away. What race are you? RSE probably best if not I think battle hose is decent.
Waist: Potent for WS
Feet: I'd stick w/ Bounding boots or RSE depending on race till something like Barone or Dusk.
Rings: Blood Ring would be a viable upgrade or CoP depending on what your status on those missions are.

[Shuemue]

Spiked Finger Gauntlets are pretty sweet, 12 attack is a nice chunk.

[Zankuro]

thanks for the suggestions. But uhhhh.....Insect Ring......???? I hope that was a mistake, cause i see no use for that with Dragoon what so ever. I'm nowhere near finished CoP or ToAU so those are a no go, i'm guessing Woodsman will last me til i'm high enough lvl to advance far enough to get those done.

thanks again.

Yeah meant Blood ring, fixed my post. I always get those confused.

Are colibri resistant to evasion down, or does dark mezraq just have a low proc rate?

they're extremely resistant to eva down (wind based enfeeble)

[Noobta]

Ah, thanks.

Another question, for Penta thrust, is it better to stack acc or str/dex? Or mix and match pieces?

[Jakson]

Staff Melee WHM/SAM:

Capricorn staff
DMG 43 Delay 366 Haste+5%

vs.

Kinkobo
DMG: 68 Delay: 412 Critical hit rate +5%
Latent effect: Delay: 329 Accuracy +10

Stats are weak on Capricorn, but that haste is tempting.

[Lordwafik]

The low damage is attrocious, staff sucks so why would you want to melee in such a horrible weapon baffles me.

Get one and put it in your macro for casting haste in merit pts.
