RNG/SAM MND setup for holy bolts, use Fire/Water/Light staff?

[Osede]

i have seen most rng use light staff for the holy bolt setup. Not sure if some one else use the other staff.

[Alathar]

I believe the +10/15% bonus to elemental damage applies to elemental bolts. Obviously, this would be the case to use light/apollo's. Otherwise, i'm not sure whether fire or water would be better. I think it would likely depend on if you're planning to do more dmg via add effect or not (i.e. rapid firing for high holy procs but low base dmg).

Anyone know how to remove the running water sound in the windurst mh?? It's driving me crazy.

Light/Apollo

but /SAM with holy bolt is pretty uncommon combination

When camping Mee Deggi, is his PH the one that pops in the water? Been at this for a while an I know its a bard or sam one, and you can tell from widescan but i don't camp him with widescan.

Don't need Widescan.

There are four sections to the room, two birds per quadrant + the PH.

The PH will be the only one you ever see crossing from one section to the other.

Also: Any quadrant with two birds of the same type is the one with the PH, watch for one of the duplicated type to cross the line between quadrants and kill it.

This used to be the case, but I found when i camped mine about 6 months ago it had been changed. The Ph mob that wanders anywhere is still there, but Mee Deggi would just randomly pop, sometimes even with the PH up ; ;.

If I attempt to solo Mission 5-2 as 61/62 RDM (not sure which just yet; I have marine f gloves waiting for me at 62) would I need amazing melee gear? I have nice mage gear but wondering if I could just steal a friend's capped gear and hope that I won't miss a tonne. I don't have anything like PCC or Velocious Belt since my RDM is my highest ._. but would I still have a chance at beating it? If it matters, I have /BLM and /WHM but I'm working on /NIN specifically for this fight.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section >.<

I'm not a mage but if your sword skill is capped, I know you could give it a good go. Unless you're trying to solo it for pride, I'd still recommend tanking someone else with you to help, just for safety.

Edit: It is in the right section.

Dual wield Store TP question:

What's the formula? Like factoring in NIN's traits, suppa, chainmail with and without, + like store TP +13, trying to figure out if I reach a new level for 100TP

Quick question:

The Selbina clay tablet quest. I did it wayyyy long ago, but my friend is doing it now and I can't remember if you can only do one every 24 hours now or what? I'm pretty sure they did something to the quest to counter RMT spamming it, I just can't remember what. Thanks for any info.

Dual wield Store TP question:

Delay Formula
0 - 180: 5.0 + [(Delay - 180) * 1.5] / 180
180 - 450: 5.0 + [(Delay - 180) * 6.5] / 270
450 - 480: 11.5 + [(Delay - 450) * 1.5] / 30
480 - 530: 13.0 + [(Delay - 480) * 1.5] / 50
530 - 999: 14.5 + [(Delay - 530) * 3.5] / 470


Add up the delay of your two weapons before calculating haste gear. Then, add up the amount of Dual Wield that you have (30% at NIN main and 5% for each enhancing item). Then, insert it into the formula that matches your delay with all of your data added in and multiply it by your Store TP amount set to .01% = 1 Store TP.

Example:

Kikoku/Perdu Blade with 75 NIN, Suppa, AF body, and Store TP +13: 210 + 190 = 400*.60 = 260 Delay

((5.0 + [(260 - 180) * 6.5] / 270)*1.13) = 4.2954 TP per hit and 24 hits to 100% TP.

I need a place where someone who knows very little about playing BLM can solo about 4k xp >.> Deleveled my friends BLM to 74 lol... I don't have WotG, just reactivated a week or so ago after a huge break... I've heard about the puddings or whatever, how much skill is involved in killing these? Is that my best bet?

Also, Sath, PM me for hot sex and bribes to kill some hurricane wyverns for me.

elementals in sky. since you're 74, blizz4 is gonna be your strongest spell, find the island with wind elementals(up top, not down below). bring echo drops in case of silence, always keep blink and stoneskin up, and sleep > nuke > sleep your way to 75. there are dolls up there so be aware of magic aggro, and unless you can cleanly get an -aga spell off, treat blink as tho it were meteor and always stun it. oh, and never forget to aspir. they'll cast spells every 45 seconds, and melee in between.

Ah yes, sweet, forgot about the eles.. it's been a while, and I never attacked those on my ranger =) I'll give it a shot!! Thanks!
