Random Question Thread V: But does it 6-hit

Will Birdbanes beat destroyers against harder weak-to-piercing mobs like Gears?

Only if the dmg+25% applied to WS damage rly. These are just a great pair of low lv h2h for colibri pts and for stuff like jailer of temp.

[Maguile]

Ok thanks. Ill still get them for meripo's anyways

Can you get skill ups in Limbus/Dynamis?

Can you get skill ups in Limbus/Dynamis?

Yes.


Edit: Random question of my own.

The mini-expansions contained some augments involving Waltz. I'd like to confirm what they do.
For instance, Waltz Recast time -2 reduces the time of, say, Curing Waltz II from 8 seconds to 6, right?
Also, Waltz TP cost -5 on the new pants would reduce Curing Waltz II from 35 TP to, say, 30TP, right?

Those two augments are really quite an improvement in /DNC survivability. With the right gear WAR/DNC could cure over 2k HP per minute using Healing Waltz II in Campaign.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know a place I can find a good MMM guide? There's way too much information out there and the one guide I've found has no clear layout or general sense to it.

There's no singular guide because each voucher is so different from the others. I really suggest taking the time to peruse the MMM thread here. Asking MMM-related questions in that thread will also get helpful responses far more often than not.

i've always used alt+D to fire a Range attack. it no longer works.

well, actually it works just one time each time i log in. which confuses me even more...

example: i log on my char, target moogle, press alt+D and i'll get a "You cannot attack that target." error. i try again and i get no error. i change hotkey via set up, i get no error. (when i say "no error" i mean its as if i haven't done anything at all.)

i've logged on my alt account and get the same exact problem. i can fire a /ra just ONE TIME using alt+D (or any hotkey i assign), then after that very first attempt, pressing the hotkey again does absolutely nothing.

its been happening to me for about 2-3weeks now, and really driving me nuts ><. i've always used alt+D and having to type out /ra is annoying me.

so my actual question: does anyone know how to fix this?

Sorry if this has already been answered.. but it's something to do with windower
put this in your init.txt near the bottom with the rest of the key binds it has.

bind ^d input /ra <t>;
bind !d input /ra <t>;

That should bind both CTRL D and ALT+D to ranged attack.

edit: bah it had already been answered. That's what i get for not reading the rest of the page first. can delete this if necessary.

Thanks, I figured that there wouldn't be a go-to guide, time to dig through 50+ pages! On a related note, when you have your maze set for exp how much can you likely get in a day from 6 mazes?

Assuming a non-75 group, cor, no exp ring, 5x pt + PL, and extra wave you're looking at 5~8k per maze from chest normally + exp from mobs, so 7~10k or so per maze so around 42~60k.
Also if you use ring, I think, it adds more exp than normal in MMM due to way contract rune for bonus chest exp works.

[Jb1210a]

Yeah that's what I was hoping to hear, thanks for the information!

[Severance]

Current parse memlocks please!

Also, STP questionsssss
what is STP needed using a 450 delay GKT for 6 hit.... with Pole Grip, with Sword Strap? SAM / Hagun
what is STP needed using a 480 delay Pole for 6 hit.... with Pole Grip, with Sword Strap? SAM / Tomoe
what is STP needed using a 504 delay GA for 6 hit... with Pole Grip, with Sword Strap? WAR / Perdu
Total STP, i can work out what Gear/Traits/Food etc. Just asking to make sure my math is coool.

Really just wondering on this, are Archaic Gear(s) really weak to piercing? Never really noticed a difference on them, didn't think they actually had a melee damage weakness.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

I am pretty dam sure they are weak to it with how much drakesbane manages to hit them for without angon.

because I am being lazy atm:
you can use dl this here and use it to do yourself, and in case any other.
first working STP calculator I could find.

What would be the best way to solo a White Memosphere? I don't have Red Mage to 50 but could probably get it there in short order.

[Byrthnoth]

Well, you could probably just kill the low-Tough monsters (level 52-54ish) with a job that solos well at 50. Unlike other Promys, you can't call your NPC in Vahzl one so it might take some time.
Or, if you felt like being a little more productive, you could solo one of the Mea/Dem/Holla NMs on 30 RNG and then take a 51 RDM or BLM/NIN into Vahzl with some Reraise earrings and kill the NM of your choice. Provoker (Stone Gorget) would be the easiest choice because you could zone kite it to a zone line and if things go poorly just Bio II it to death. I'm not sure it's 100% as Wiki claims, but they have a very high memosphere drop rate.

[fredjanx]

quick question about sea gorgets.... what does the

Increases fTP multiplier by +0.1

mean? does it mean something like......
For guillo, would a snow gorget increase its 0.875 fTP to 0.975?

[Shinryuu]

Yes. It would actually be 3.875 to 3.975, since each additional hit is 1.0 fTP.
