Would I be right in assuming this refers to nyzul?

For the Adventurer Recruitment Program (Gold World Pass), are there rewards available for both the inviting and invited players past the 365 day mark?

I picked up my Timepiece and Mini Airship quite awhile ago, but now a Sol Cap is catching my eye. O.o

"na i su ru" are the characters he wrote. i would assume the same as you that it's nyzul, though it surprises me he wouldn't spell it "na i zu ru" but then my japanese sucks.

Thanks, there was a number in the shout but wasn't certain if he was shouting about nyzul or an xp party.

I'm not 100%, but I think that Japanese tend to swap out the letter z for the letter s..similar to the whole l and r thing.

can't remember my japanese that well anymore. i do remember a long conversation about spelling words with v's in them that didn't translate well. violin came out very oddly.

Do marksmanship skill or ranged accuracy effect quick draw accuracy? Everything I have been able to find implies no, but my mule is now 58 COR(level sync static in jungles, subbed whm) and I first got the chance to use it on lesser colibri today. I did a total of 31 elemental shots and 5 light shots in a short party I had.. all the light shots missed and only one ice shot full stuck(for 160ish). About a half dozen ice shots were half resisted to 80s, other shots and the rest of the ice did 20ish. Since I have been treating COR like BRD so far, my marksmanship skill is 0 and my gear is mostly MP+, though I did use appropriate HQ staffs for each shot as well as balrahn's ring. Will getting a good AGI build and leveling into AF hat make the difference, or are both BG-wiki and normalwiki missing that ranged accuracy effects resist rate?

There's a separate character for the 'zu' sound, it'd be the same one but with a little " over it. Most all the kana that have a 'hard' vs 'soft' version (ka vs ga, su vs zu, etc.) are differentiated with the ". Hard/soft isn't exactly the proper explanation for it, but I can't think of the right way to describe it. It's not quite glottal (back of the mouth, like ga), but similar. The "nyzul" I'd guess was a little typo missed or just omitted out of laziness/ease...*shrug*

As far as l vs r, or b vs v, the language just doesn't have a sound for either of those. For the ra ri ru re ro kana, the sound is more halfway between L and R. Think of how they'd say "Sauron" in the LoTR movies, and that's about it. V is usually just changed to be 'b' as it's the closest thing. I remember my japanese teacher telling us about a friend of her daughter's named "Vanana" or somesuch, and she was wondering who would name their kid "banana" when she was explaining the difference.

Say I do a three part skill chain and I close the lv 2 sc, but it also opens the lv 3, which I also close (did the last 2 in a row, using Sekkanoki), how many WS points would I get?

[jibini]

So... just to make sure I'm getting it right...

Someone else uses a weaponskill, you use one (closing a level two skillchain), and then another (closing a level three skillchain)?

You'd get one each for the weaponskills, two for the level two skillchain, and four for the level three skillchain, granting you eight points total.

same points as if you closed a 2 and a 3 separately.

[Cream Soda]

thought so, just wanted to confirm, ty

[Bagel]

I really doubt that since you don't get points for opening SCs, just closing. The formula I've always heard is 1 point for doing a WS, +1 point per element of any SC you close.

EDIT: nvm didn't read the original question, oh sekkanokikiko

Seriously, nobody knows what AV's exact unbroken Regen rate is?

I couldn't even parse if I did have a sea shell that did JoL to try and find out how fast he regens, so that isn't an option, btw. lolps2

it's hard to parse >.>

we figure out regen mostly by comparing 'total damage' numbers from fights of differing duration when level doesn't change.

given that it's hard to do that when a fight is 11 seconds long....

StoneIII did 124 damage to it and it promptly went to 100%. (From 99%) so I'd imagine more than 124 >_>?

[Robert]

^with tricen, a BLM ES FreezeII'd it for 409 and it went down to 98 or 99 and then back to 100 either one or two tics later.

What is the Pdif range for a cRatio of 1 with a two handed weapon? I tried to get an answer by posting a thread, but I don't think I got a valid one.

(probably) 0.7 - 1.2 with a median of .95, a mode of 1.0 and a mean of ~.97 or so.

the only thing I am certain of is that the mode is 1.0.

Does Curse from Igqira gear work on chariots?

No personal experience but I'd bet heavily on "yes". I'd be floored if it doesn't, considering that it works even on mobs like Ouryu as I learned one time when I got tired of waiting for our slow tanks to pull <.<.
