Randomer Question Thread

I believe it's been tested that the ATT bonus on single hit WSs (Specifically SAM) is so large that Smil+1 would, in fact, win out against Foragers.

That's what I'd read previously, but I've learned not to trust anything just because I've seen it once. Can anyone point me towards the math on it?

Here is the Alla thread dealing with Y/G/K acc and pDif bonus.

In a well-buffed EXP party, I'd be willing to bet that Smilodon+1 will indeed out-perform Amemet+1, and probably Forager's as well (on Y/G/K).

cause cor brd brd drk rdm sam pt are the most common set-up ever, I personally wouldn't use unless getting drk/chaos roll with 2x mineut otherwises I doubt you will hit the att cap.

Contagion transfert on certain item doesn't work on souleater I assume?

And could anyone refer me to a "white mage cure spell casting" post. Or explain it to me quickly. I dont want to dig the info out of that huge thread.

Is there a way to use the search function on the forums to search for threads containing all words (rather than any)? Like if I wanted to search for a post I saw about Rocl's car (making this up), but I type in "rocl car" I get any thread where either Rocl or cars are mentioned, likewise for "rocl AND car" and "+rocl +car", they work like "OR", so I can't really sift through all those threads to find the one I was looking for.

Also @Kaylia, I can't tell what you're asking. If it's gear or cast time I don't know. If it's about how HP recovery is calculated there's Cure Formula page on the BGWiki.

Is there any kind of plugin or something similar that can block /ra commands with a specific ammo in slot unless unlimited shot is active (or just prevent regular ra but not ws)?

With SpellCast 2.21, I believe this will unequip PPA if you try to /ra or ws with it equipped and no unlimited shot. It will probably mean you have to wait a second after you hit Unlimited Shot so that the buff icon shows up before you WS.

<if EquipAmmo="Ptr.Prt. Arrow" notbuffactive="Unlimited Shot">
<if mode="or" spell="Ranged" type="WeaponSkill">
<action type="equip">
<ammo>Remove</ammo>
</action>
</if>
</if>

Some people said that cure "spell spellcasting time" only works when you reach 20%, 40% and 60% or something. Basically, having 12% from merit or cure clogs is useless on its own.

I know how normal fast cast works, but this part is confusing me a bit.

This is my first time using spellcast, I just opened default.xml. Do I need to put it in <rules /> or just after it somewhere? Right now I have the file looking like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<spellcast>
<config AutoLoadXML="true" />
<variables />
<sets />
<rules />

<if EquipAmmo="Ptr.Prt. Arrow" notbuffactive="Unlimited Shot">
<if mode="or" spell="Ranged" type="WeaponSkill">
<action type="equip">
<ammo>Remove</ammo>
</action>
</if>
</if>

</spellcast>

Post on forums with SS/PM admin with SS iirc, admin adds it to the profile.

Change it to this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<spellcast>
<config AutoLoadXML="true" />
<variables />
<sets />
<rules>

<if EquipAmmo="Ptr.Prt. Arrow" notbuffactive="Unlimited Shot">

<action type="equip">
<ammo>Remove</ammo>
</action>
</if>
</if>
</rules>

</spellcast>

Quick HTML/XML guideline, <whatever> opens a statement, </whatever> closes it, and <whatever /> does whatever's inside and closes it at the same time (in Spellcast, specifically, it's useful to define one-line rules.) "<rules />" shouldn't do anything, you need a "<rules> insert your rules here </rules>".

does anyone know of an especially good primer on windower/spellcast? i've resisted using it for a while (not getting into the debate of why/why not) so i'm rather behind on how to set it up and what the important plugins are. i'd imagine the windower forums have a fairly good selection, i'm mostly fishing to see if there's another guide people found especially helpful.

also, a bump on my prior question that got lost w/o answer 2 pages back. what's the drop rate on blitz ring from tails of woe? seems like an easy bc and dropping ni/blitz ring could make it very profitable if the drop rate is decent. better than UO at least.

Best recommendation I can give you is read other people's XML files, as well as threads people post regarding issues they have with theirs so you can learn the common mistakes to avoid. Also read the Wiki page on windower.net so you have an idea for the various rules.

I use the macropal plugin and make windower macros. They aren't as versatile as Spellcast macros, but if you're like me and prefer to do things the manual way but just want more macro lines, it's a good way to go.

Can anyone recommend a way to solo the 2-3 mission dragon without being BLU or DNC? I have most jobs 25+ except for BLU, DNC, BST, PLD, PUP, DRG and BRD.

This is the third and final time I'll have to do this bloody mission, and I hate dragging someone else out to do it so I just want to solo it if I can and get it over with forever.

I tried searching the forums, and it appears you guys don't have soem generic AV/PW thread for all the conspi- er, "brainstormers" to go to instead of injecting their thoughts all over other boards...

If you don't have one it may be a good idea for someoen to make one to prevent 75% of threads derailing and turnign into yet another AVmustbekillable thread.

I think I may have stumbled onto some info and just wanted to toss it in their, but have no idea where to put it O.o;

Am I missing it somewhere?
