Post Pictures of your gear III: This will not end well

[Wulfgang]

protip: in ffxi, when people say 0/100, they typically mean 0/20

Except when discussing QQA/QQTH. Still have not seen a Deimos's Cuirass and I started salvaging when it was 2000 AP and no starting chest.

Just for fun, assuming the Pin was a 15% drop, the chances of you going 0/100 are worse than your odds of matching all five white balls in Powerball:

1 / [(1 - 0.15) ^ 100] = 1 in ~11,431,611 for pin; 1 in ~ 3,563,609 for Powerball

Going 0/116 would just exceed the chances of you winning Powerball (1 in 146,107,962).

Chances of going 0/100 on the QQA/QQTH assuming a 2% drop rate would be about 1 in 7.5 (1 / [(1 - 0.02) ^ 100]). Hence why it depends on mob, I believe 0/100 QQ's, but Empress Hairpin is tough to believe.

If you do go 0/116, I'd buy a Powerball ticket.

(If math is wrong, I apologize, been a while)

No offense, but TPing in Jaridah feet, when you have Bounding Boots, is incredibly stupid.

Thorny pretty much said it all, other than Rapparee/Swift/Bravo's, if you can take the accuracy cut.

And Tricen, he's getting DE next level (Unless he's already got it with merits), where I'd personally use SH over Flora for DE. But I guess he could use it for unstacked SA/TA.

With sushi, I never really had problems with ACC. I usually parsed @ uhh... 89%?~ Around there ish, through those lvls. Of course I missed a few hits here and there in WS, but not often.

Math looks right, but based on the above, looks like people count a lost claim as 1 of their 100, which is rather silly IMO. People should start counting individual Bee pops on their 2f ramparts, and count 0/(# of non NM bees seen) for their droprates. Would be truly impressive. I mean, each bee was a failed chance at the drop, theoretically.

And yea, seems to be everyone exaggerates their droprates to make others feel sorry for them.

[Wulfgang]

Something I do find to be beyond accepted odds: I have never *ever* seen a single Skirmish Pephredo or Gate Widow since the introduction of Salvage. I have seen a large number of Perytons however. The last Bhaflau run, I logged out after killing Mad Bomber to reset my router; Gate Widow popped.

I swear the NM pops are somehow tied to something about your party composition, unlikely, but with how random Zhayolm was, who knows.

[Cream Soda]

You must just not do many bhafs then? I did that run 5 days a week for 3 weeks straight when I was going for my 35 usu feet and saw plenty of widows and bees.

[Wulfgang]

Rotating the four zones nearly evenly with runs twice a week; exclude the runs where Mad Bomber did not pop and the sample size is still large. To be honest, I've probably done more Bhaflau runs than any other zone when you consider that in the beginning, it was one of the most potentially productive zones along with SS.

Arrapago was difficult without a starting chest.
Conditions for Zhayolm madames were largely unknown for a very long time.

Here's my 69 MNK. Have Dune Boots/OHat to level into at 70. First melee job above 40-ish.

One thing I would recommend is leaving the dunes until 71 when you get Kick Attacks II. It just didn't seem worth it until then.

[Brimah]

Bored seeking so thought I would give my THF gear a show and see if I missed anything that could be better. Things that might be questionable, R.ring is Toreador's, belt is Swift, and thats about it I think.

For Dancing Edge, I put on SH+1, Potent belt, P charm and dex rings. Also, waiting for a Flora Cotehardie to get on the AH, but have a Blue+1 when I get to 69.

Well, I'm already using Kick Attacks boots, so I might as well kick the dmg up a notch. I know Wiki says that the new crafted KA boots increase Activation Rate, however this is not the case. They increase dmg, I'd say about even with Kung Fu Shoes, but they have the added bonus of Dex+2/Attack +4 (on the HQ anyways). So Dune Boots will probably boost my DoT a bit more.

I tried that for a level, but the random Flee when I was trying to get behind someone to TA was annoying me so ditched it Only a little better DPS wise.

[Raen Ryong]

LolDPS, just stick with the daggers you have. Especially at that level, it's not as if thf's per-hit damage is anything worth writing home about, and you don't have the huge haste values at that level so the small delay difference would become significant.

Until your haste values (and DW reduction values) become fearsomely high, no real point in going for lower delay daggers unless they offer something special. THF's (D + fSTR) part of the equation lacks enough already, don't make it lack more

That's an insanely good looking THF btw

Isn't the last Dual Wield trait as a Subjob at level 25? (Dual Wield II), meaning he already has his max Dual Wield trait from sub... and looking at his gear, im seeing at LEAST 12% Haste (if thats a Swift Belt)... So he has enough Dual Wield and Haste to merit a slight upgrade in DPS, i thought so anyway. However, At this point, he is a godsend to what is now an overwhelmingly retarded THF population, and i hope he continues to level it.

Also if the flee gets annoying you can always turn it off, or have the other guy line up to you. regardless, your doing amazing at THF, Nice set up, and i hope you keep it up.

Got your Sirocco yet O_o?
