Randomer Question Thread

Another question: Someone was telling me it was impossible to have a Chocobo with First-Class in everything(using only training). Is that true?

It's impossible in any manner. Chocobos have a maximum number of allocatable 'skill points' across all four areas. Each level between Poor and First-Class takes a certain amount of 'skill points' of which each care plan and training token's effectiveness has been guesstimated based on how long it takes for each to raise a full level. The cap of total 'skill points' cannot be passed by any means leaving the best possible Chocobo able to reach 2x First-Class and 1x A Bit Deficient if my memory serves. Once you reach the cap in any combination the "raising" of one stat, or more directly the allocating of points to it will remove points from another stat eventually lowering it an entire level.

Brutal Earring to TP with Mjollnir/Kraken:

Yes/No?

Yes: 5% more chance for triple damage to proc. Very detrimental to kraken.
No: 5% less chance for triple damage to proc. Won't hinder kraken.

I would go with no, the point of kraken offhand is to spam TP.

I remember reading that delay on katana's is floored at 150, but I'm not sure I understand this. does this include haste, or just from dual wield? Also, TP per hit while dual wielding is calculated (according to wiki) by delay1+delay2*(total Improved Dual Wield reduction) / 2, Is your delay calculated the same way, or is it the same without the /2?

IE: Fudo x2 (not what I use but just for demo)

227+227 = 454 delay * .6 (for the 40% of IDW4 + suppo & AF body) = 272.4

So 272.4 is you base weapon delay correct?

Now if katana's are floored at 150, does this mean your base delay is restricted to 150 total, or 300? (150 for each katana) and can you still go below this floor via haste?

IE: Velocious, W.turban, B.haidate, Fumas, Koga tekko, = 23% + haste 25% + SV double march = 66%
(I'm not sure if all of that is 100% accurate but just for the sake of questioning)

does this mean my weapon delay is now 273*.34 = 93 delay?

edit: btw I dont remember numbers for soul voice march off hand but thinking back, its still magic haste which caps at like 43.something % correct? so I'm editing above numbers.

Tried duoing Like the Wind today as rdm+blm and got crushed. Resisted every spell I threw at. Watched a few videos afterwards and it looks like it only takes full magic damage when it's either meleeing or moving. Is this correct?

Does Souleater+Bloodweapon work on Magic Shielded mobs?

[Not Seditedi]

Pretty sure Souleater melee hits are still considered physical damage, so it should work on magic shielded mobs like Proto-Ultima.

[Shuemue]

Too lazy to log in, do you lose TP if you change your shield?

[Nitrous24]

yes you lose tp if you change your shield.
SE still works if magic shield is up.. because its not magical damage.. and since bloodweapon isn't an "additional effect" of sorts.. it will still work (all it does is convert the damage you do into ur hp rather than draining the thing ur hitting)

Definitely no. I don't even use it with Soboro.

in my experience, it took full magic damage during moving or running, but not meleeing. since meleeing also means that its does not move at all. but... most of the time you will just get pissed off since by the time your casting hit 60% in bar, it will just stop moving

Macro it in for WS, TP in something else.

Sweet, thanks for replies!

Manteel worth having or is it not worth the price, and other body pieces will suffice?

save your money. yigit cuts it just fine and costs next to nothing.

[In Flames]

What level is the clothcraft sub on Tarasque Mitts?

If someone else is going to give it to you, you NEED it.

If you have to buy it, get yigit.

[Yuri-G]

I could swear I have scoured this site up and down and I still can't find the list of ranks for BG. I know the moment someone points it out I'm going to feel like an idiot, but would someone mind? It was pretty clever, and I want to see what I'm up for next.

[IncredibleGulk]

nah, not going to be given. purchased if anything. i was aware of yigit, but i havent really done assaults for the points. of course, if i plan on having any piece with -song cast time, id do the assaults.

which leads to another question.

is having -song casting time equipment a high prioirity or something a bard can live without? i understand its an eye of the beholder thing. curious to see what various bards prefer.

[Osede]

not sure whether you had played Rdm before or not. The fastcast does helps alots especially you try to cast sleep on some fast hitting mobs, usually you will get little chance of interuption.

well i think this same for brd, -song cast time = faster lulaby. and also those madrigal/march song will be sing faster and you will getting more times to do some more stuff.

In port jeuno near the Chocobo stables there is a Game Table. You can pay 1,000 gil to play a game of Venture roll. I dont remember seeing this, when was it added?

(I havent been playing that much let alone reading the update details.)
