Any way to get Sol Cap if you've already gotten other items over a year ago?

[Tormentormike]

Dia 3 - Level 2
Slow 2 - Level 5
Phalanx 2 - Level 2
Paralyze 2 - Level 1

Would be a winner then?

Could sandy take over bastok in the past if they have enough points in the city?

If you feel that it would work for what you do, then sure.

If you feel like you'd be better served by having stronger versions of other spells, then not doing level 5 Slow II would be fine too. There aren't really a handful of "standard" ways to do cat II, it's what serves you best for how you use RDM. So the only one that can really answer if a particular config would be best is you.

Few questions, I recently went back to Ranger and was wondering what would be best meritwise. I'm currently level 1 Sharpshot and Rapid Shot, and level 1 Flashy Shot. I was thinking I'd do level 5 Sharpshot and Rapid, keep the 1 in Flashy, level 5 Snapshot, and 4 in Recycle. If any rangers have this stuff merited and could give me some advice I'd appreciate it.

Also, I've been using Rutters for tp and ws in my bow set. Should I tp in more ranged attack (I don't have AF2 feet, I could possibly buy War Boots +1) and just use Rutters for ws?

I just upgraded Magus Jubbah +1, do I have to toss AF1 and AF2 before resetting quest memory and then request those to re-obtain a Magus Jubbah? Or if I just reset quest memory now will the vendor NPC who sells you the Magus Jubbah resell it to me without having to do the annoying quests again? I've heard horror stories of people resetting AF memory and having it glitch in annoying ways.

[zagex]

You only have to toss the it right before you obtain the item. You can do the final CS for the item, then at the end it will say You already have a (item). Talk to (NPC) to obtain the item. At least that's how it is when I did the quest.

Where's a good file hosting site for my FFXi pics?

Photobucket works nicely. Other's like Imageshack, so either one of the two is fine. Unless someone knows of a better one?

[Alistaire]

Searched the site and haven't found an answer to this.

anyone here tested brave grip its any good or not, im looking to buy one but wana know if worth 500k lol

i believe the consensus is that it's weaker than a double attack strap unless you're doing something like hit and run ws on /thf or otherwise where a crit is guaranteed. the bonus was somewhere between 4% and 5% based on what i've read, so if you're just meleeing normally and have say a 20% crit rate, it's a .05*.2=1% boost to DoT on normal swings and no effect on a non-crit ws while a pole strap will give a ~2% boost to both ws and normal swings unless you're swinging around a soboro or something.

a war getting warriors roll probably does better with a brave strap than a pole strap; but outside of that situation 2%DA should always outperform.

this is ignoring the added ws rate rate effect that 2%DA would have, because the point is basically that DA is better for almost all circumstances.

I thought it was shown that Brave Grip doesn't worth with SA?

[Rya]

removed retarded question.

hmmm... i hadn't read that, but i haven't followed it much. if that's the case, it really sucks hard...

unless the war has war roll and thf roll, mightn't even a claymore grip outperform this pile?

if it's +5% damage to crits, then no. +3% crits would not outperform it.

How do you control the order in which your items are listed in bazaar? I know it's possible, since some people make words with letter easter eggs, and I've tried various things, but I was unable to find out how...

[Thorny]

Take all said items out of inventory(MH, locker, w.e). Put one in inventory, bazaar it. Put second in inventory, bazaar it. Repeat as necessary, first one you put in inventory will be top in bazaar.

99% Chance it's the same as a Soil gorget, WS with Earth properties...

Like King's Justice.


Brave Grip definitely works with Sneak Attack.

It works with Raging Rush.

It works with Mighty Strikes.

It works with random crits.

It looks to be about 3% from my testing, might be higher, but I was near pDif cap, and I don't think it ignores it like X's apparently does.

It's jesus christ good for SA steel cyclone with Mbhuj, 2hr zerging, it doesn't seem to stand out that much elsewhere.
