Random Question Thread IV: ROCKY WINS

[Znake]

They have a Webchat? Thanks, I'll try that. And it's always been my account, no one else has the account info, etc.
Edit: I'm not from EU either, I have a US copy of the game but I live in Chile (South America).

[Silversonic_11]

Possible, yes. These zones don't have the normal background music files, and instead have ambient sound effect files (I believe that is the .spw files) There is programs to convert WAV to the format.

The one problem you might have, is I believe a lot of these files are "shared" among different zones, so if you change one, I believe it will affect multiple zones, not just 1.

Right, thanks. Are there any listings for these? I searched google and couldn't find anything relevant.

Edit: Nevermind, there's a list of ffxidats.

Also just spent like an hour searching for that converter, to find out it's already installed on my computer ._.

Can Third Eye blink 1000 Needles?

AoE, so no, unless it's different than every other AoE

So does that mean Chariot (salvage, nyzul etc) attacks are different than the norm? Because they do get absorbed by third eye, but strip utsu.

incorrect, the chariot's AoEs are magical thus ignore TE, and wipe utsu. Physical AoEs from mobs such as battle dance, Mortal Rev., and etc Wipe TE and can be blocked/wiped by Utsu depending on count.

Hecatomb Hat (11 STR 5 DEX Slow +9% and 4mil price tag for Abj + 1mil for cursed item)
or
Kupo'de ta hat (6 STR WS ACC+15 Haste+2% and FREE) for King's Justice WS

[Thunder]

You want 4str and +2% ws damage. +15acc, I have no doubt that MKD will win. But if you had another job I'd probably MKD for that and use Nhead on war.

More an excel question but I want it for ffxi related stuffs...

Is there a way to put in say, all the possible formulas for delay-TP return listed on this page and then it will calculate the TP based on the correct formula? or am I stuck inputting the individual formulas?

[Gere]

I think FFXI calc does that.

[Enedin]

How does ranged TP work? How is it calculated, including ammo? Why do I get 16.8 T return after Slug Shot?

=Trunc(IF([Delay Cell]<=180, 5+((([Delay Cell]-180)*1.5)/180),(IF([Delay Cell]<=450, 5+((([Delay Cell]-180)*6.5)/270), (IF([Delay Cell]<=480, 11.5+((([Delay Cell]-450)*1.5)/30), (IF([Delay Cell]<=530, 13+((([Delay Cell]-480)*1.5)/50), (IF([Delay Cell]<=999, 14.5+((([Delay Cell]-530)*3.5)/470), "out of range"))))))))),1)

Change [Delay Cell] to the cell you have the delay in, and the cell you put this code in will return the base TP return.

This is out of my google docs spreadsheet, but Im 95% sure excel uses the same syntax

And yet, Fanatics blocks them and not Fools.

[Ocara]

Fanatics blocks a lot of strange things it shouldnt (by item description), including Hurricane Wing and thunderbolt in nyzul.

I wouldn't use it as an indicator of anything, really.

[Enedin]

Re-posting this since it was unanswered and one page behind already:

How is ranged TP calculated?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Weapon delay + ammo delay, plug it into the standard melee TP formula

[Gosyac]

*wrong thread

I believe that it blocks incoming damage from all TP moves, magical or not.

To solve an argument:

Can you crit non-TP=Crit WSs? My friend is positive that he have gotten crits on Penta, Gekko and King's Justice (among others), which aren't supposed to be able to crit.
Is there a reason he's seeing spikes sometimes? Am I an idiot and these things can actually crit?

Thanks. <3

[Fridell]

Double Attack procs / All hits connect on Penta / KJ.

Not with out 'forcing' it to crit using Sneak Attack or Mightstrikes.

You win the argument

Reasons for spikes:
* Random luck
* Double/Triple attack
* Stronger buffs (COR just rolled an 11 on chaos)
* Stronger debuffs (The RDM just threw out Dia III or other Def down)
etc

Edit: Beaten

Gonna open a can of worms and say 2 hand WS can only DA twice at max.
