Randomer Question Thread

[Callisto]

Just a random error that pops up from time to time.

[Kvenh]

Random bug, happens with multiple spells

[Redshift]

looks like three linear functions:

20 < dDEX < 30
Crit = (0.2*dDEX) - 3

35 < dDEX < 43
Crit = (0.5*dDEX) - 13.5

44 < dDEX < 50
Crit = dDEX - 35

dDEX	crit+%
0	0
10	0
20	1
25	2
30	3
35	4
37	5
39	6
41	7
43	8
44	9
45	10
46	11
47	12
48	13
49	14
50	15

But you'll have to ask Shinryuu.

Thanks, trying to make an excel for damage calc (don't know any code (yet) to make it look pretty =/)

Having never killed them before, can Carmine Dobsonflies drop multiple items or is it one drop per fly?

Just please keep in mind, I am trusting that Shinryuu's data is accurate. This info is not first-hand.

Can drop bandanna + one other item in my experience.

[Avarice]

I'd also like to extend my question further; I've never even been to the island that the Carmine Dobsonflies are located on. Are they close together or spread out? And if they're spread out, do they all instantly link or do you have to manually link them?

They are a little spread out, and they all link, even if they are not strictly within linking range but it takes a few moments.

I was there last on 8 July, 2007, dunno if any of this has changed.

[ferigor]

Carmine all have shared hate, so once you pull one they all come. The island they are on isn't huge, but they can spread out pretty far so that it takes some longer to get to you than others. There's wyverns and clusters too, so watch out for those. You are 100% safe right where you port in, and thats where my group camped when we killed them. Each fly drops a bandana 100% (they npc for around 500 gil), in my experience I'd say we were about 20~30% rings, 10~20% sallet. Most groups that I talked to had much better luck with drops than we did.

It's a decent approximation until more accurate information comes up. If not, can always just sub in my own Crit% value.

[Drunkenmonk]

STR gets a huge boost, and the Vulcan's Staff means you can use both a grip (+3 STR) and sub SAM and use Hasso for another 5, as well as +10 Ranged Accuracy. That's a total of STR+13 R.Attack+10, and R.ACC+10, not to mention a TON of boosts that come from SAM sub. --Enternius 04:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

wiki bs or is this true?

[Carraway]

Can I unlock the latent effect on Axe of Trials in Campaign (with or without tags)?

[Raen Ryong]

wiki bs

This.

I haven't seen any proof that hasso gives RANGED accuracy nor that STR will suddenly get calculated at a TWO-HANDED MELEE ratio for RANGED attack.

Enternius also says that full str/atk TP build beats haste build on DRK and SAM so...

[Pendulum]

Can I unlock the latent effect on Axe of Trials in Campaign (with or without tags)?

No, you need to gain xp from killing the mob (not an xp amount at the end like campaign with tags does). This rules out stuff like Besieged, Dynamis, Limbus etc.etc.

[shaddix]

How "reduce spellcasting time" works for cure. I heard it only work when you reach certain cap.

I am getting increased speed when I go from Light arts+clogs+marduk body+full merits to /rdm+clogs+marduk body+full merits

light arts and fastcast stack the bad way

[Ragnell]

So, I'm about to Fight Maat for my LB5.
Still need to Cap a number of magic skills before I fight him but I'm still questioning the gear I'd Need

So far this is My set up
Here

Plan to Get:
2 Zircon rings for more INT
P rope from a LS member
I have a Moldevite Earring from Myticmaker Profblix
I'll see if any of my LS members have a HQ wind staff, doubt it though
A stack of Mulsum
3 yag drinks
Melon Pie +1
5 Hi-potions
1 Vile Elixir +1


Not sure what else I'll need here, I plan to go 1/1 On Maat, And plan to solo Ruby Quadav's for my test and training for maat. Most of the info I've gathered is from FFXIclopedia

Any Suggestions?

[Thorny]

you can only hold one vile elixir+1, as it's rare marked
you're overkill on the meds, but pluto's/enfeeb(or spider) torque help a TON if you can borrow them from someone or have them

Oh yea, goddamn rare, But Hopefully I'll try to do another Jungle Boogeymen run and get a Enfeeb torque, we got a shit ton of drops when we when last time, made about 200k split between 5 people, it was 6 but I had no seals, so I just helped my bros out, still got 50k though



Also, On another note, around how much HP does Maat have? and How much Aero 3's Should kill him?

Seems to me it was like 6-7 for me (I had almost perfect gear and didn't get a resist). iirc you need to do like 2500 dmg for him to give up. I believe I was doing roughly 460 per Aero 3.

Pluto's and Auster's are, by far, the most important pieces you could get/borrow. You have a good grasp on the rest. You should not need too many meds as you may not have time to use them.

Also...remedies. Lost my first run because he did chainspell - paralyze. I was fucked. No remedy and chainspell para'd once. In that timeframe he did 2x Asuran and I got shanked.

ffffffffffff, forgot he enfeebs, good tip, i'd gone in there thinking he'd only come to Asuran fist me to death.

Looks like I got a ton of fishing to do to get that HQ wind staff ;_;

[cdgreg]

I will be picking up Commodore Frac tomorrow at JP midnight, my question is will i also need to complete the Gantes and Bottes or can I immediately do the Tricorne quest?
