Randomer Question Thread

I'm trying to save up for Perdu Blade; currently around 15,000 ISP. I've been meriting essentially just for it, so any ideas as to how much 10,000xp (1 merit dur) equates into ISP?

Just looking for a bar I should aim to reach for.

10xp = 1 IS/CP/sink/etc.

extrapolating, you need 33 merits in TOAU areas to get your blade.

If you macro out haste or macro in slow+ during your WS, will it effect the delay on your next attack if you don't melee swing before you change your gear back?

weird wording so I'm not sure what you're asking.

kirschy would know better but

I'm pretty sure delay for next swing is calculated based on what gear you're wearing when you swing your weapon.

Was pretty much asking to see if the 5 attack of rutters over marine boots is worht the 2% slow, if its applied to you rnext hit.

Hey guys, THF weaponry question here.
Of only these two pairs which is better: Blau/Sirocco or Azoth/Blau? The acc on Azoth seems somewhat appealing but is it worth it to use what is essentially a harpe? Id also like to know if the higher delay could work in my favor, as blau/sirocco is a ~24hit setup I think off of the top of my head.

For reference, TP set consists of full homam except head, bomblet, swift, turban, blood/sniper+1, suppa/brutal, PCC. 8/8 Dagger merits. Taru. I almost always use meat.
Thanks

your next attack round delay is calculated at the attack round previous to your ws.

so if you had 99% tp, hit in haste gear, switched to +slow gear and ws, and then switched back to haste gear before your next regular attack round, you will not see a slow effect at all.

however, if you switched to ws gear at 99%, hit, ws, switched back to haste, it will take a little longer for your next attack round since your delay was made longer for attacking in slow gear the previous attack round.

hope that makes sense

[Cream Soda]

Yup, makes perfect sense. Just need to time WS correctly so I don't get my next melee hit with all my haste removed and slow added.

probably a dumb question, but i'm too indecisive to come up w/ a good answer. whm/blm/rdm/brd/bst/smn 75 and i have over 15,000 ampoules saved up. i already bought the omega ring, but i can't decide what to buy next. i'm mostly blm main, but i figure i may as well skip the +5 int cape since the ixion cape completely outmodes it. the only thing i can think to buy would be the morgana's choker. is there any piece anyone feels is particularly outstanding? i was thinking too i might go w/ delta earring as a cheapie melody+1 for my brd, but that also seems very meh.

[Amele]

morgana's is a good mnd/mp neck. it's the best mind-mp neck in the game atm, so if you normally wear a neckpiece in this style it's a great pick.

otherwise just save for the balrahn's eyepatch or something heh.

Quick question. Ace's worth 4m? After wiping 4-5 times with ppl from friend list, not being able to join an HNM shell because would interfere with my other shells, and the fact that most ppl are simply just tired of coming to help, waiting long periods of time, and wiping, I find buying it is going to be the only way I can obtain it.

This is also keeping in mind that I hate Askar, and wouldn't use a single piece of it, unless I had an Amano, in which case I'd use the body, but if i were to upgrade a relic, would be H2H because mnk is my main, lol.

[fishstix]

Would a lv51 sch using Thunderstorm be the same as a 75sch? (duration/potency maybe?)

^if you have a decent way of making gil, 4m isnt much for a good piece of gear. Since you don't have any other method of obtaining it, I'd go for it (although really, i'd go for askar instead)

[Cream Soda]

Planning on selling my haub+1 that combined with the 2m I already have should do it. Then I can just borrow my RL friend's haub+1 since he isn't playing sam atm till I can afford to buy another.

it's the best piece for the slot for sam.

whether that's 4m to you or not is up to you. (usukane somen is the second best and is what.. 1.5mil on most servers? ) but ace's is about as much better than somen as somen is than w.turban etc.

[Cream Soda]

Hammerblow don't like us anyway, lol and I'd rather use turban than Askar. That being said, Ace's it is. With my 2 jobs, I'm mainly past the point where I can buy things anyways, except upgrading usukane, which I can deal with when I get the drops.

for RNG Barrage

should i use jaeger mantle over amemet+1? (HNM mobs)

Not sure how helpful this is going to sound, but, parse your accuracy? <_<

20 Rattk for 10 Racc is a bit much.

[SamanosukeShiva]

did you read? it's for BARRAGE

[Aragon of Odin]

I don't get the point of your last post. To my understanding Barrage is still based on RATT and RACC, so all he was saying is if your ACC isn't that great on avg against HNM's go with Jaeger where as if it is good then go with Amemets.
