Randomer Question Thread

im pretty sure as long as the shell doesnt exist you can remake it under the same name again

Sarameya question:

On otherwiki it says he resets hate after end of howl phase. Is this on all of them or just below 25%?

As thorny mentioned, it's a really weird hate "reset." It's basically an I'm going to go facekick a RNG or healer then come back to the tank

[Tulun]

just wondered how significant; tried to nin/rdm it (testing, and don't wanna stun before goh) and it was weird balancing hate between my co-tank.

[Thorny]

It's not a reset afaik, you just need to touch it to regain all your enmity.

I don't know the exact requirements but using the same name for a linkshell you just broke can absolutely have a waiting period. I wish I could tell you if it had anything to do with broken pearls still being in peoples inventory etc. but I know from multiple EG LSes that can't reuse their name when they reform until some amount of time has passed. The people I know who had an opinion about it assumed the longer the LS had been around the longer you had to wait, I don't know why they thought this though.

I suppose I'll just answer my own question since no one else seems to know or care:

If you toss a mannequin you own, you can purchase it again (trade in another one you own for the same one, etc.) from the NPC in Mhaura.

Question on what to merit...

I soon will have all jobs 75 and plan to eventually equip them all decently. My main will always be BRD (going for Ghorn). After BRD the jobs I care most about and work hardest towards are BLU,BLM,COR,THF,RNG. The rest of the jobs I don't care a huge deal about.

After I finish the job specific merits for those 6 jobs (3 jobs to go) then all I have left to really merit is Attributes. Everyone says STR, INT or GTFO. My only problem is I don't really plan to play much of any job that needs STR for omfg damage (my RNG is limited pretty much to Odin, BLU is still in the works on gear to become usable). And I don't see my BLM getting much play time due to being the only TH4 in my groups, and planning to be BRD4Life when I finish Ghorn (though I would like to play BLM in dynamis once in awhile).

I was considering meriting AGI for QD acc, TA, and COR/RNG WS's, but I was also considering meriting CHR since I plan to be BRD onry after Ghorn.

So finally my question...
Do I still stick to STR or INT? If so, which would you recommend?

Any opinions would help, if my other merits will help you can see them here (Rajwa - Shiva - FFXIAH.com).

Sorry for the long post, and thanks.

[Tulun]

Always STR.

for Quick Draw acc: Since there is so much limitations on adding dmg to QD (MAB slots), most of your gear can be towards AGI. Accuracy, especially if you add cat 1 merits on top of it, shouldn't be a big issue.

STR will do way more for you than AGI in the long run as it'll benefit all DD jobs.

On my old character, I had a script I used to cap summoning magic skill. Since then, I've lost the script I once used and cannot seem to find a way to write a new one. Does anyone happen to have a summoning magic skill script they don't mind sharing? Or can explain how I need to go about writing one?

Question about the evasion cap to nins and thfs, how many points of eva should i aim for to cap it.

Specificly Greater Colibris, and also big guys like HNMs in nyzul, soloable HNMs, and etc.

I know that <200 evasion skill = 2 points each, and the points after worth 1.7 each, then add in half agi and eva+ gear...

550ish? 600?

Would say DD gear for colibri/Nyzul HNMs will do you much better and an experienced group should consistently destroy nyzul HNMs.

Yeah just wanted to try experimenting with an all out eva set plus fan dance, if anything for soloing since you dont need much acc when the mob's decent challenge-Even match...

Here's the set I'm aiming for:

Main hand: Ermine's Tail (Work in progress, hope the new CC poitns will make it drop faster)

Off hand: Azoth

Head: Gnole Torque (Same as tail)

Body: Mirke Waldacors with eva+10 and Emnitty+5 for tanking, SH or relic body for soloing

Hands: Probaly relic hands, or something else, dunno what to put in this spot, mayhaps dusk gloves for their nice def and some haste...

Legs: Another spot I have yet to find a suitable piece for... For now enkidu's

Feet: Emissary Boots

Waist: Warwolf Belt

Back: Cerb mantle until I unlock sea and can get a boxer's...

Earrings will be generic eva ones, forgot names, elusive? Rings will probably be a jelly's and rajas when I get em, til then some acc rings will do

I'm open to suggestions for nice pieces, quite often their's random pieces of gear I see people wearing that would be better...

Most thfs I know fap hard to evasion for soloing/farming whenever it makes sense to use. Scouter's rope seems like an option, and so does antares harness if you can get one

Awesome, never really seen these pieces around much, but I'm liking them

Yeah I originally and still kind of would like the antares harness, but with it costing a few million, I'll use the new ACP body til I can afford that ^_^;

thanks for the input

All out eva--raven hose, evasion torque, what other ppl suggested.

So far, I think i'm at a total of 240 or so evasion skill, +23 from gear (One of my earrings will be an evasion, other elusive, since 3 eva skill > 5 eva)

400+ 63x1.7= 507.1 points in eva skill alone...

Then roughly 40 more points from Agi, so 587.1...

Then in armor I'll have +10, +7, +10, +8, +4, +6+6 (raven hands/feet since -emn not issue for solo >3) annd +5 for earring... for a total of +56

So thats a whopping 643 points of evasion. Whoasnap.

I honestly doubt I'll need more than 600, so I may try experimenting with saving up for an avalon breastplate to lower my overall squishyness, along with swapping out the raven gear for better tanking stuff, relic hands and some legs or another... macro in emnitty gear for /war double voke, etc etc...

Would be interesting to see a monster miss me 5-6 times then WS me for like 2-3 dmg, gogo fan dance

Saotome Koshi-Ate vs. Warwolf Belt for WS/SAM.

I've always used Warwolf for the STR+5 obviously. But just wondering on if the accuracy+7 is worth it? Probably not?

[Colenzo]

that belt would be sexy for penta but otherwise you are pretty much set with your warwolf
actually nvm you would probably still be better off with warwolf for penta since the mods are both dex and str and the dex adds accuracy

warwolf imo

Edit: There is the option of potent belt as well, but only if your acc is very very bad
