Does Morbolger spawn in 30minute windows throughout his 21-24? Or just whenever he feels like showing up?

It's whenever. Maybe 15m windows but I doubt that, it's surely like CC who is just whenever.

good stuff thanx

I'm at the hospital and although there's a really good Wi-Fi connection, I keep getting POL-1160, the one about it not being able to connect, check your connection etc.

Is this something the hospital has likely disabled, or am I able to change any settings on my machine to make it work?

[shaddix]

likely some firewall, you probably can't do anything about it

When is "Spell interruption down" accounted for? Is it like Fast Cast where I can just spellcast it in precast? Or do I need it equipped throughout the cast?

In my experience it has the most effect at the beginning of the cast, but I tend to time most of my macros to swap back just before the spell fires so I may not be certain on that.

Will X-box 360 Vana'diel Collections 2008 codes work to activate an expansion even if entered from a PS2?

I suspect they will, but I'd rather not buy it and find out otherwise.

It's whenever, no windows that I could find and I camped it six days straight for myself and a couple friends once, and five days straight for a mule and other friends.

No pattern, he would spawn randomly and no discernible interval or window.

Yeah, they'll work. System wise they are universal.
They are only restricted by region.

Thanks a lot!

Are cast time reduction (and specially cure cast time reduction) tiered? If so what are the 2 (or 3) tiers. If positive, is -50% cast time confirmed as 3rd tier?

Ty in advance

In addition to what I have posted earlier:

/rdm marduk body cure clogs capped merits *sometimes* gives me a decrease in animation duration and sometimes not in comparison to /sch marduk body etc...

/sch marduk body cure clogs capped merits does not give me an animation duration decrease in comparison to no marduk body

I will test again in a few days when i get loq X_X

I asked before, but never really got a clear answer. Is Hecatomb Wave considered a Breath Attack?

[Callisto]

I'm fairly certain it's not classified that way in terms of damage reduction and whatnot.

Thanks!

Does Light/Dark Arts effect Blue Magic?

Thanks!

Does Light/Dark Arts effect Blue Magic?

havent tried but I belief it doesn't.

[Devolver]

Dunno if ill get a big enough answer to know what to gauge for.

But how much do your linkshells sell Black Belt items for on average? I have no idea whats a good price for what.

[Moridam]

Most shells on Gilgamesh seem to charge 1M, although I've seen one or two go as high as 2. A cursory check of FFXIAH bazaar listings has prices for wyrm beard ranging anywhere from 1-3, seems like a lot of them are falling in the middle.

speaking of MNK

Anyone have an estimate on how many stacks of virtue stones you'd want to have to hold out for say 2hr's worth of merits with Faith Baghs? Would be for MNK/WAR on birds most likely, if that makes any difference.

[Pendulum]

Could a rdm solo Vouivre? Wiki seems to suggest the regen is too strong.

Does Light/Dark Arts effect Blue Magic?

It does in the sense that certain spells can be enhanced by the skill gained from an Art. Specifically, healing spells (eg., Magic Fruit, Healing Breeze) can be increased in potency from the Healing Skill that you'd gain from using Light Arts.

I've never taken the time to go test out Elemental Skill with some of the other "magic" spells as BLU/SCH, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see resistances affected by Elemental or Dark Skill gained through Dark Arts.

Naturally, Light and Dark Arts affect neither the cast/recast nor the MP cost of Blue Magic.
