Been Camping LoO for 24 days going 0/24 so far i see drop rate is 10% on wiki but w/e most kills have th4 as well anyone go this many with no drop lol? People i know and shit i have read in forum goes about 1/12 or under. more of am i the unluckiest person out there or is there someone that has had worse luck then my own type of question...

Bad luck I guess, 0/24 is quite messed up. My friend went 1/1 with a mere th 1 :/

If it's really a 10% drop rate (I think that's too high) then the odds of it not dropping in 24 kills is 8%.

See where I said without? If you're going for full safety, evasion has increasing returns:

Going from 50% dodge rate to 60% dodge rate is reducing your hits taken by 20%(50 to 40 in 100 swings). Going from 70% dodge rate to 80% is reducing your hits taken by 33%(30 to 20 in 100 swings).

If you value the stun proc of mamushito over 3 evasion, you should always value it over 4. Mamushito+1x2 or Shiranui/Oninohocho if you're going fully defensive, a combination will never be the best.

I agree with that. I guess I just misread your sentence, didn't really make complete sense to me.

On another note, to tank Ouryu as NIN would I use an earth resist build?

sub rdm not drk and use either a strong mdmg- build or a resist build(resist being more useful but costs gil for very niche gear, mdmg is harder to get and not quite as useful there but more useful in general), not particularly hard to tank and neither is horribly wrong

Quick question, does critcal hit gear effect range attack?

The first place city Chocobo Stables vendor doesn't have Black Chocobo Feathers like they're supposed to, anyone know why that'd happen?

Didn't see any responses to this but are two nations tied for first? I know that affects the traveling circus so it could have an effect on that as well.

How often does yoichi/annihilator barrage do triple dmg?
Does it do triple dmg only when it procs on first arrow, so about 3% of the times like any other relic?
Or it happens when it procs on w/e arrow, so higher percentage?

If it's really a 10% drop rate (I think that's too high) then the odds of it not dropping in 24 kills is 8%.

Not exactly if its a 10% drop rate then there is a 10% chance of it dropping each kill,.. it's not cumulative.

It's conker's random shitty luck is all. If it was 50% drop rate it would take him 30 kills.

[Shinryuu]

There's an 8% chance of zero drops in 24 kills >_> it basically means he has bad luck but not that the droprate is broken.

I did a couple of quick searches but to be honest I'm not really sure what to use as search criteria. I'm looking for a way to call out game time in a macro. I'm responsible for calling out timed nukes in Dynamis and such. I'm looking for a way to to tell the party to nuke say 5 game minutes after i press the macro. Something like...

/p AM2 <t> "clock +0:05"

I know that looks horrible. But something of that nature would help out a lot I think. Has anybody ever seen any windower macros like that? It's likely just a pipe dream.

Spellcast could probably help. Let me just randomly toss out my logic.

Macro AM2, but then have Spellcast catch it and delay it (precast conditions) and then use something like this <action type="command" when="precast">spellcast var inc nuke;wait 4;input /p AM2 Now</action>


Also, 1/1 on Octave club, but about 0/10 helping other people since...

Could also look into spellcast variable "%time". Possibly by storing it in a separate variable and then incrementing it 5 times before displaying it? I kinda doubt that you can increment a variable in this format though... You might want to talk to Aikar about something like this.

Actually it turned out that you have to be a member of the nation it's in as well, I went to the npc on a Bastok mule and he had the full stock of items.

I think when it procs on barrage, it procs on all the arrows, which is pretty sexy but very rare. I have a pic somewhere of somebody doing a like 7700 barrage to DL with Yoichi, and upper 2k normal barrages seem pretty common when you're buffed to the gills like you would in that setting.

Is it difficult to pop Zhayolm Remnants 1st floor Madame? I don't have any Silver Sea cards for a Zhayolm 35 run, so I guess floor 1 2 3 5 Madames is my only option.

Thanks in advance.

It's not hard but you will need several monks and hi-potions. I've never done it the normal way (used to logout etc) but even with 2 mnks it seems hard.

A question related to buying items cross server. It was stated in another thread that you could transfer gil from 1 server to another, buy an item, then get the character with the item transferred back to original server with only having to pay for a single transfer fee. Could someone explain how this is done? I am interested in purchasing an item on another server, but I am cheap. Thanks.

[Valyana]

Just do some SSR first.

Random question, but I've been skimming threads and haven't seen the answer. If I deactivate my Security Token, then get the last two Inventory Expansions, will my Mog Satchel expand as well or will it be stuck at 70 space?

[Carraway]

Are there any obvious, affordable (~300k or under) AH-only upgrades that I'm missing from this WAR TP set?
