Does Medicine Ring require actual yellow HP, or does Convert HP>MP gear work for it?

actually yellow HP. i tested it a while ago when i picked up 1 for 4k, took off all gear and recorded base HP. divided by 4 and added enough convert hp>mp gear to exceed it by a significant margin (full zenith sans body, serket, star necklace on a taru is 265 which is closer to 1/3 my HP) and punched my HP down a bit further w/ some other gear i forget like an ether ring, p rope, etc which i then popped back off. cast cure1 w/o med ring on, reset HP, then tried again with it on. same cure potency.

Only rings that can be "tricked" are sorcerer's and conjurer's, remember that latents are active when HP is lower than 76% while yellow HP is below 75%, if you can micromanage you can find a range (7-8 HP) where latent is active and you ain't blood aggroing. Kinda a pain on whm due to innate auto-regen, yet SCH comes even more handy thanks to sublimation.

Once someone enters the zone, that spot is theirs for the rest of the reservation. So if 18 people enter at the start, only those 18 people can ever enter for that run.

If your main char enters and your alt is outside to lot gear, you'd have to go with 17 people for your alt to be able to enter. Even if somebody exits/logs (like your main), your alt can't go in once 18 people have gone in.

Orz that sucks. Thanks for the answer, though!

Was there a -cure cast time cap? I remember hearing something about, wasnt sure how much I should merit it on WHM.

[Shinryuu]

Visually, yes. On the server, no. Merit it.

Long shot, but can Tarasque drop more than 2 skins? I've killed about 6, 2 ages ago without TH (all 1 skin), 4 recently with TH3 (2 skins on 3, 1 skin on 1).

So I forgot to update my credit card info and my service was suspended (haven't logged in a few weeks) I went into the "Service and support > Membership" screen in playonline and got an error message saying "Invalid process."

Guessing I'm SOL until Monday? I was about to change the info, went to eat..and realized it was midnight. Fuck me.

Any reason to keep my Dragon Harness if I get Antares Harness?

No, 12 accuracy 2 dex and 2 agi easily offset the 10 attack from the dragon harness.

Buccaneer's Belt worth using 15k ampoules to get for ranger if I already have AF2 belt?

Dragon Harness will still be slightly better for soloSA definitely, perhaps soloTA depending.

Heavy DD (DRK and SAM) questions:

I am currently preparing a list of gear that I plan to get when all my jobs are finished to 75. I am a BRD main, a COR/THF/BLU/RNG/BLM second, so I am no expert at the heavier Damage jobs (in this case DRK and SAM), and plan to rarely play them, but would still like to have gear available in case it is needed. So my questions are...

What Scythe should I be getting for DRK? I am currently looking at Perdu.

...second,

What is the next best GKT for SAM below Hagun? (I can't pay 2.5-3M for something I will rarely, if ever use) I am currently looking at Onimaru.

...and last,

Would Askar Korazin be a viable body choice for either of these jobs for things such as Salvage/Limbus/Dynamis?

I am sorry if these questions have been asked before, and thanks.

Ok, so from what I've read on other forums, it's pretty much confirmed that augmented Manoples take from the total delay rather than the delay of the weapon. My question here is how much is it taking off.

For example I'm doing this to calculate the delay

(4/4) = 100% (1/4) = 25%
-25% delay
(4/4) - (1/4) = (3/4)

(3/4) x 422 = 316.5~317
(and for the record i didn't do it this way like a 6th grader, but it just looks better typed out)

and others are saying it is
422/1.25 = 337.6

[Shinryuu]

Total delay is 422, that's 100%. Multiply it by .75.

[Killkenny]

If its worded as -25% delay then it should be:

delay - [(delay / 100) x 25]

Same answer as multiplying by 0.75

[Cream Soda]

oh fk lol I gotta start spamming ANNM then. Can get ether -25% delay with +3 acc or -25% delay with +3 acc I'll take either one

[Shinryuu]

I need to start ANNM for Barone hands w/ DEX+5 Haste+3% (can someone confirm that shit actually exists?).
