Randomer Question Thread

[Byrthnoth]

Okay, so here's a very random question. If someone has a 24% chance of Double Attacking (max two per WS) and 89% Accuracy on Penta Thrust (5 hits obviously), what are the odds of landing at least 5 hits?

[Kirschy]

I suck /w search. Looking for tests that prove/disprove Blessed briault +1 giving more MDB.

Generally speaking, on average:
1 INT = .75 MACC (It is .5 and 1 depending)
1 MACC = 1 Ele/Enfb Skill

Right?

I forget the rest.
How much INT do you need for 1 MAB? was is 2?
Does Ele/Enfb Skill translate back into MACC?

I hate math, and most equip is pretty different, so no real reason to remember this stuff.

Nevermind. Found it quickly.

Does anyone know where I can find up-to-date offsets for the windower program Wardrobe?

And if not, can someone help me find a program that locates offsets?

Is it known if there a cap on Spell Interruption Rate down? It's possible to get over 100% spell interrupt rate, so what would that do?

[shaddix]

Are half resisted debuff durations affected by +song effects?

I remember a thread about it, but can't find it
I know that Manafont puts you at -100% interrupt rate, like BRDs you will be able (if you survive) to cast spells even with mobs whacking at you.

Knowing SE there might be a cap at 50% or 80% for gear tho.

Stringing Pummel is a 6-punches weapon skill with chance of crit hits.

1) Can crit proc on every hit ?
2) What about double attack ?


The TP return is usually

(mormal tp x 2 + 4*1)*store tp

Assuming I get a double attack, can it get the normal tp return or is it always 1 tp.

For example

hit1 hit2 hit3-hit6, and hit1 gets a double attack (hit1')

what are the tp return for hit1' and hit2 ?

[Raen Ryong]

1. Yes
2. Yes, with a cap of only one DA (H2H WSs add an extra hit, so a 6 hit description will in fact be 7 hit -- global cap is 8 hits)

H2H WS TP returns: Each fist returns standard hit TP, additional hits and double attacks return 1.storetp%.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a h2h expert.

Can you move people on your friendslist from one POL handle to another without having to delete them and add again?

[Stromgarde]

I remember a program/tool/plugin being mentioned at one point somewhere that allowed you to pick which monitor to send FFXI to. Anyone know what that might be called?

[rezn0r]

I'm assuming you'll end up getting 1 CD key instead of 5 right?

Can I use that 1 CD key for an already existing account with the first 3 Expos accessed for WoTG?

i didn't see this get answered, ignore this if it did, but yes the single key would still work for just WotG, i did this exact thing last week to get wotg onto my xbox (which i barely ever use ffxi for) but mainly to use the key for my mule

My question is about Salvage tanking as a Mnk.
Should I at least swap in gear like Arhats+1 and Jelly ring and such or just stay in my DD build 100% of the time during chariot boss fights?

[Shinryuu]

DD gear until for some reason you're getting horribly raped. Have a macro that swaps it in. Have a macro that swaps DD gear in those slots in, too. Never hurts.

Rough cost of bullets for COR to 72? Someone recently told me it'll run in the several millions... which just seemed wrong. I didn't get to follow up his response.

How user friendly is SpellCast vs making your own macros with Windower? My only two jobs currently at 75 are MNK and WHM, so I'm not sure if it's worth using for me...

[Blademage]

cor bullets several millions? what is he doing? barrage perhaps. hell i spam bullets. ive done so from when i got a gun at 15 to 42 only spend 150k on em so far (3 stacks 2 bronze 1 normal bullets). i think it all depends on what you liek to do more, spam bullets or sword ws, or just pull, not pull just roll. no windower here

and a question of my own. would stutter step increase duration of pyrrich kleos or just increase the chance of lowering the enemies evasion?

[Kirbyprime]

Bullet costs depend on generally how good / bad your parties are. The several million figure is kind of outdated since that figure was posted when COR was still new and people charged like 40k per stack of iron bullets.

On a quick estimation based on my server prices. At a rate of 1.5 stack of bullets per level. You'll probably use roughly 600-800k from 1-72. Of course these figures will vary depending on general stupidity of parties etc, used well over 4 stacks before on a level yet used less than half a stack in others.

[fren.]

I tried recouping the cost of bullets through selling gold coins from the ISP I got. Usually saved me about 16k~ per party (obviously more if you're meritting)

ouch, thats a lower profit on my server, if you converted the ISP to a stack of bronze (you get 1 free for your mog too) the profit would be about 2.5k-10k higher depending on demand(Server: Alexander) and i think id be using more cards if the party was in fact how Krbyprime said it. then again usualy mobs last longer in parties where the stupidity level is high
