has anyone tested if the imperial standard's conquest enhancement works in aht uragan for IS? i need a metric shit ton of khroma ore for my morrigan's body now that i've got all 3 pieces (YAY!) and i'm going to need a truckload more IS if i'm going to ISNM them all. i've heard conflicting reports from people, some claiming it does give a bonus in aht uragan areas and others saying it's just like the moghancement conquest you get from the millionare desk. i'd be inclined to believe the latter, but a.) there's 2 kinds of moghancement fishing, they have the same name, but vastly different effects and b.) i need 24 khroma ore and i'll take any hope i can get.

The SAMs I've partied with recently in the 40s, weren't use fuma/sarutobi. Most of them had Rare/ex okote, PCC, rajas, etc, and said 3% wasn't that great. Not really helpful, but just throwing it out there.

I would look into mining. A mage/brd can get +24% movement speed and do pretty well, and if you sell everything you get besides khroma's, you can get buy some too. Might be more bearable for you if you do both and get some variety.

DD PLD /nin - TP in Galliard Trousers or RK pants (or something else entirely)? I usually WS (Vorpal) in Galliard, as considering WSing in Valor if my acc doesn't suck.

PS. I don't have homam.

dusk trousers are good, askar pants are good too if you do nyzul

people need to learn more about haste. 3% is 3% more dot vs. no haste (in this case, naked feet) so you're looking at net gain of around 2% by switching in fumas vs. bounding. (bounding being worth around 1% hit rate, which is a little more than 1% dot).

that said, there's fed. kyahan at level 25 which adds 4 attack - against lvl40~mobs (the stuff you fight at 33) that's going to be about +0.03 cRatio, which depending on how much attack you have would be in the area of 3% dot vs. no shoes. (likewise about 2% vs bounding)

As a curiosity sort of deal, but how big of an improvement would it be with hasso? If I understand haste is that it's increasing returns for each % you get so... would 3% be more than just 3% dot increase?

I'm doing Leathercraft the hands-on and "fun" way...that is to say, I'm farming most of my hides and skins...

Do Raptor and Cockatrice skins have an unusually high droprate anywhere? (Kind of like Lizard Skins in CN or Sheepskins in Beadeaux?) I can kill TWs-VTs without much problem, it's droprate I'm worried about. TIA!

One of the best places for raptor skins is in my opinion VoS. Can get a hell of a lot of them just killing raptors inbetween turtle windows. EP mobs too, so you can get at least get some seals while you're there. Unfortunately, i don't know of a decent place to farm cockatrice skins. Could maybe try the ones in the bottom of Kuftal?

[Callisto]

Is there a cap to how many people you can blacklist? I'm closing in on 100 and hoping I don't run out of room or anything like that.

[evilpaul]

Maybe it's PS2 limitations or something, but I thought I ran out of room at ~30ish? (I didn't know why I added most of the people, so I just took a bunch off.)

[Zarath]

Plan on leveling Cor to 75 next, only problem is I have no joytoy and doubt I'll be getting one soon (my work/class/RL schedule is beyond fucked) would I be a major gimp? and what would be a better alternative?

I lved to 75 and then got my joytoy. I just used an archer's dagger and subbed /rng most if not all of the way, went just as well but I did spend around 2.5mil in ammo alone, Kris and Joytoy is just purely for TP gain and a cheaper alternative to quick TP gain.

[Tempyst]

Is the additional TP gained from damage taken effect noticable at all on SAM AF1+1 body? Will it proc on magical/AOE type damage?

granted, but i'm in desperate need of some more merits and i have 75 brd so i can pretty much xp whenever i care to (it's always funny to go to sleep while on brd and see all the tells in the morning. am i a bad person for enjoying that?) so i figure killing 2 birds with 1 stone is a viable option. i could probably buy the ore outright with cash on hand plus what i could produce, but why sell stuff when i can just make more. with the likely significant potency of the new furnishings from the event (i'm told they're not EX so i can suck the ones in from my mule) i should be able to tune my alignment to that w/o too much trouble. only one way to find out i guess!

[Kaeko]

What is the -HP a tick on Berserker's Torque?

Also, can it kill you or does it just leave you at 1HP?

[Leeto]

50/tic for 1 tp, yes it can kill you

[Drunkenmonk]

for asuran fist byakko haidate or shura haidate better?

Ya, it's marginal, but I go with Shura for the slight str boost for my taru.
