What's this thing do? Latents/Triggers

[Gustave]

Vampiric Mitts & Vampiric Boots from FL assualt
Set : Enhances Drain and Aspir..?
Anyone know the bonus and/or does it state anything in the book?
Just wondering if its worth it to keep doing this for the Mitts to complete my set.

[Mizango]

Wow, nice find Elmer.

[Elmer the Pointy]

So for tests, Elmer, please look up Great Sword "Doombringer". Once we find out what one does we'll know what the rest does.

When the day matches the elemental WS's element you get a 10% damage boost.

Is it listed anywhere where the source comes from? Are these tests done by authors/information gathered by the authors. Or is this secondhand/inside info from the programmers?

My best guess is the people who compiled the book ran all the tests. It is unclear what information, if any, they received from developers. But I agree that "If nothing else, it gives us a jumping point as to where we should do our tests."

• Pahluwan Body - +1% (est.)
• Living Rod - Just the HP+21
• Lamia Harp - Nothing
• Hanzo Tekko - Nothing
• Murasame - Nothing
• Hayabusa - Nothing
• Naraenten Bead Necklace - Nothing

Does it mention specific numerical values for avatar stat bonuses?
for example, sacrifice torque has latent: enhances avatar attack which activates with an avatar out and drains hp and mp..
does it say how much it increases the attack by?

Sacrifice Torque Hidden effect: While Avatar is out, -9HP/tic, -3MP/tic
Only boosts Attack power for Physical dmg blood pacts. Specific amount is unknown.

Y's Scythe? It's definitely not same pt as X and Z weapons.

[Nameless]

Ares set DA bonus, 5 or 10%?
War AF2 leg DA bonus, 1%?
Homam body TA bonus, 2.5%?
An obvious one here, but brutal enhance DA, 5%?

[Spira]

thanks..
does the book also specify the set bonus stats? like the numeric values and such..
i'm wondering about Breeder Mask and Breeder Mufflers. It says Set: enhance pet defense and enmity.. but i was wondering by how much, because usually these stats come with number values

[kandiekane]

Princely Sword?

[Not Kuno]

I asked rocl to confirm the tier4 thing for Mythics and he said he didn't find anything in the dats that says that. D: I think some NAs woulda found that by now somewhere.

Specific items don't show up in dats, only <ITEM GOES HERE, YO>

what are the chances all of this stuff is made up bullshit

If it's not official how exactly have they found out info on Skanda boots, and mythic weapon quests? I don't get how they'd know without either doing it themselves, or having some info from SE. Does this company have a history of guide books for FFXI?

It sounds like interesting stuff, I'm just unclear. And does it have food effects?

I'm assuming they have some access to developers and SE since they are able to publish this book. They say they speculated a bit on the Mythic Weapon quests, but I don't know how they'd just pull the tier 4 ZNMs thing out of thin air. They made another encyclopedic book previously, sometime last year. No food effects.

Drain & Aspir, absorbed HP/MP +30%

[yrpaine]

anything hidden on maat's cap?
summoner's hands/legs and evk legs "attack" or "acc" info?
princely sword?
anything about the "lucky items"? 4leaf mandra/wild rabbit tail/lucky egg
does it list if any Salvage gear pieces have hidden effects that we haven't published yet?

[Spira]

ah yes.. since it seems to tell people what drops from where.. could you look up the following items which are supposedly PW's drops. just wanna confirm so i can add into my guide..

Hachiryu Haramaki
Nanatsusaya
Shenlong's Baghnakhs

also could you check if Oracle's Robe, Enkidu's Harness and Aurum Cuirass also drop from PW? because those are the only 3 pieces in each of the 3 sets that dont drop from 2 different ZNM so far...
edit: also Hachiryu Sune-Ate/Haidate/Kote.. do those drop from PW too? or just Tinnin/Tyger/Sarameya?

and im not too sure but I think crapaud earring hasnt been found yet.

[Xanthe]

Thanks again, Elmer. Interesting that Wyrm Brais are noted to increase attack and not the previously though increased hate shedding.

[Elmer the Pointy]

Y's Scythe? It's definitely not same pt as X and Z weapons.

Hidden Effect: Dark-element magic damage +10%, Dark-element magic accuracy +20%, Dark-element summons perpetuation -2, Light-element magic damage -10%, Light-element magic accuracy -20%, Light-element summons perpetuation +2

• Ares set DA bonus, 5 or 10%? - 5%
• War AF2 leg DA bonus, 1%? - (+1%?) complete with question mark
• Homam body TA bonus, 2.5%? - 1% (est.)

i'm wondering about Breeder Mask and Breeder Mufflers. It says Set: enhance pet defense and enmity.. but i was wondering by how much, because usually these stats come with number values

Princely Sword?

Nothing hidden.

Nothing hidden on Maat Cap.

summoner's hands/legs and evk legs "attack" or "acc" info?

NO DATA
NO DATA

anything about the "lucky items"? 4leaf mandra/wild rabbit tail/lucky egg

No items that aren't under the weapons category of the AH.

[Kirschy]

For what it's worth the testing isn't precise. Rostrum aren't 2%, and we know Fast Cast works in /1024ths. Also the gorget adding to damage is better estimated as /256ths (probably /1024ths). Like state before, it's a good starting pointing for a better understanding on some hidden effects, but it shouldn't taken as fact~

[Xanthe]

Hidden Effect: Dark-element magic damage +10%, Dark-element magic accuracy +20%, Dark-element summons perpetuation -2, Light-element magic damage -10%, Light-element magic accuracy -20%, Light-element summons perpetuation +2

All that on Y's Scythe? Looks suspiciously like Dark Staff to me.

To sate more curiosity:
- Z's Trident
- X's Knife

• Hachiryu Haramaki - Drops from Pandemonium Warden
• Nanatsusaya - NO DATA
• Shenlong's Baghnakhs - NO DATA

also could you check if Oracle's Robe, Enkidu's Harness and Aurum Cuirass also drop from PW? because those are the only 3 pieces in each of the 3 sets that dont drop from 2 different ZNM so far...

Oracle's Robe drops from Sarameya
Enkidu's Harness drops from Tinnin
Aurum Cuirass drops from Tyger

Sune-ate = Tinnin
Haidate = Sarameya
Kote = Tyger

[fndragon]
