What kind of haste is spys drink

[Eldelphia]

Which is faster: Running from the MH in WindWoods to the White Gate tele > tele taru > OP Taru, or running from MH in WindPort to the OP taru?

Move to Bastok >.> Doing Windy missions 1-10 has just been the most irritating thing in terms of travel I've been involved with in a long time.

3 acc 5% crits 10 attack vs 1% haste 16 str

[Max™]

Acc+Crits I'd think, though the Str would be nice for some cases with high attack.

Did I forget that I have the most amazing luck at catching the airship every single time I go from port bastok MH to the bridge?

It may have biased me, but seriously, windy isn't hard to get around, you're just not used to it.


Also: Holy shit, are you serious that sprinter's + equipment + raptor's stacks?

God damn, Sprinter's shoes + Chigoe belt + Pitchfork +1 + Raptors = SUPER MOTHERFUCKIN ZOOM ZOOM CHIGOE POWERS ACTIVATE!

[Redshift]

No max, what you have to do is sprinters + pitchfork+1 + NIN AF boots + Raptors + tarutaru rice cake before a city dynamis, because those are boring and this is the only fun you'll have.

It is considered like the white magic spell, but it is 30% haste iirc

What's the amt of dex needed to hit the highest tier of crits on mamools? I'm assuming it's extremely hard/impossible to do so on THF/NIN mamools.

Also, does the amt of dex differ if dualwielding or using gaxe?

Anyone? Pls 2 b halping.

[ringthree]

Anyone? Pls 2 b halping.

There is no evidence of a tier of Dex to cap anything, all the suggestions are based on conjecture at best. I have created several graphs showing the effect of increased Dex on crits from other people's testing. It generally looks like the more DEX you have the more crits and that it might have an increased effect the farther you pull away from the targets AGI. But again this is just conjecture also.

Crits appear to be an equation based on player DEX compared to target AGI, it does not appear that dual-wield has a different effect from two-handed weapons.

[Xerlic]

Isn't it believed that you hit a tier when your Dex becomes greater than the target's AGI + 50? I've seen people throwing 118 around as the magic # for G. Colibri, as I'm sure you're aware of.

I've actually seen your chart when doing searches the past few days. But I saw Karina posted dex sets in the post your pic thread on top of seeing more iota rings flying around so I thought that maybe there was something more concrete discovered.

1) Do I get WS points for my Trial Dagger by using Energy Drain or must the WS have a SC property?

2) Can I get WS points on NMs that give EXP like Kirin,Sky Gods,Fafnir?

[Callisto]

Yes to both.

[Bakthi]

Are you on drugs? The run from Port Bastok mog to Whitegate NPC can't be more than five seconds longer than the run to Windy NPC is.

My main problem with this particular journey in Bastok is "Oh come on...I was almost across that bridge!" I have to agree on the other points though; Bastok has a pretty convenient layout. San d'Oria isn't bad, but my mule there is leveling Leather and I hate SE for where they put that guild. I do sob a bit when running to Rottata on a job other than BRD, DNC, or THF.

Not to mention that if you OP to get to other cities, getting from Bastok to either of the others is a quick walk, while going to Bastok is a real pain in the ass. Bastok > either of the others in terms of convenience (and everything else).

I wanted WHM at 58 just to get to Bastok faster, and before I knew what was going on, it had been LS perma'd to 75. True story.

[Bagel]

For anecdotal evidence for both questions, I broke Sapara of Trials on Capricious Cassie using Spirits Within.

What would be the ideal setup for a 6-hit build on SAM w/o a Rajas Ring. I just acquired Usukane Sune-Ate yesterday and I'm trying to figure what else I need to get in order to achieve a 6-hit build with the optimum set-up.

My Current TP Setup:

Main: Hagun
Sub: Pole Grip
Ammo: Tiphia Sting
Head: Askar Zuchetto
Neck: Chivalrous Chain
Ear: Bushinomimi/Brutal
Body: Haubergeon
Hands: Dusk Gloves
Finger: Sniper's/Ulthalam's
Back: Amemet Mantle +1
Waist: Potent Belt
Legs: Askar Dirs
Feet: Usukane Sune-Ate

That setup has +9 Store TP in it. I need 2 more somewhere. Which piece should I take out/add in?

I have Askar Korazin, but I don't think that's the answer.

[Drex]

Tiphia Sting => White Tathlum would get you there ideally
Haub => Askar Body would do it but meh taking off hauby

If you switch to ecphoria ring you'd be one STP short, or .4 TP short. You could try WSing in Askar Body at that point, I think that would give you a 6-hit if you keep the sune-ate/ecphoria on for WS.

[Callisto]

For /BRD campaign action while lfg, about how much XP/hr does it actually give, and how many songs should I cast before trading in tags?

[Kriz]

About 1exp per song, so just sing a million songs and you're good

[Callisto]

Can the AoE TP moves of AAEV and AAMR be eaten by shadows?

[Khajit]

Where is a link to that interview where SE revealed at least some info on how TH works. There are too many damned thieves out there and people leading anything without a clue of how TH works. I'd prefer to send em a link instead of explaining over and over that i just gotta do one action that gives emnity and im done. It wont stop the really big retards but at least the the people smart enough to realize linking a Dynamis stone doesn't mean all of em have TH active will learn something.

[Kriz]

They explained TH at FF2007. That's my answer.

My question:
Can the Beastman helms be signed? Specifically the Orc/Yag/Quad ones
