Random Question Thread VI: I'm No Mathologist, But...

[Hegarty]

Can be duoed by 2 RDM/NIN's. pop out of party, take down ramp to zone where everyone fights, one person continuously pulls EL to zone and the other person pulls off 1 pet each time and solos it. After all are dead, EL glitches out when you stand at the zoneline and doesn't really do anything. Dot and Nuke her to death.

So one RDM takes it (and any pets minus the one being killed) to zone repeatedly and one RDM solos the pets and that pet doesn't have shared hate with the other pets? Would one RDM kiting/zoning and a couple of BLMs killing pets be fine? How long would it take to kill with that method and 3 people? Although I'd be looking at a few more people hopefully.

just curious, anyone have an idea of what hades sainti+1 typically go for on servers that aren't gilgamesh?

10 mil on my server, saw a few before christmas but they sell fast.

I've heard its better to stack INT instead of MAB for SCH? Is this true?

[Klien]

Anyone what the exact repop is on the terror shield NM in Beadeaux (S)?

I think its 4-6hrs repop i could be wrong although

[shepardG]

10 mil is around standard, I've seen 2 on valefor, (one being my signed pair, that i made)

Question:

What's the easiest, quickest way to take over La Value [s], castle oztroja [s], or beaudux [s]

Neither has been under allied control on V in over 3-4 months..... Chuculain's are going for around 6mil @ this point, and good luck even finding a roundel earring.

More INT available than MAB for Scholar isn't there? The maths doesn't change between jobs though

Get your linkshell together and take over La Vaule, considering the potential for profit, its not really that bad of a use of everyone's time. The fact that you get lolAN and some merits doesn't hurt

[Hegarty]

Are you two serious?
1. The only gil you're gonna make is from selling helms (8M is a fair price IMO) cus the drops are mostly rubbish and sold a lot, the only ones worth anything now are Failnaught (4 people) and Terror Shield (solo).
2. 18 people isn't cool, 18 people to farm 6 people in each zone sure (except Castle O isn't worth farming), 6-8 people to farm boxes and 8-10 (inc 2boxes, whore mules) to do the final BC is still a walk in the park.

Hegarty you fail

Is there a cap on -% cure casting time? I remember there being a thread about it, but can't find it.

Mainly wondering with the new ebur gear, you can get an addition -9% casting time, so between the new gear, cure clogs, merits, light arts, etc.. if I have reached/passed some cap, and if so then I can probably drop a cure cast merit in favor of regen or something.

Thanks if anyone can help!

What at? I know Dramafinderftw wasn't being serious and he's just an annoying RMT troll but I thought I'd add that for the guy asking how to go about doing them.

They are talking about splitting heir and godsknowwhattheother2bcscalled, whether there are any ways to control all the areas aka buy 18accounts.

[Hegarty]

LOL :'( No idea then, about 3 merits parties could probably clear the zone entirely cus when I used to merit there (before box NMs were put in) we could clear right down a lot of the paths.

[Hegarty]

What cat2 MNK merits to do? Any AF+1 worth getting?

[Deader2818]

I did 5/5 Penance, 1/5 Formless Strikes, and 4/5 Invigorate. I suppose you could drop Formless and go 5/5 Invigorate.

Afaik, I think only body is worth upgrade, maybe legs for Guard skill ups and head for Chi Blast

[Yarko]

Do Dark Ixion and Sandworm really have 15 minutes windows or is it just a rumor? I'm fairly confident I've seen DI pop on me @ 20h44mins from last death, although there is the possibility it depopped and repopped since I was solo scanning. Also, the only 2 times I bothered /clocking when we were camping SW and it popped, it was out of a 15 mins window.

Hose +1 have "Counter"+3, NQ only have +1. They're definitely worth upgrading.

Did you even read the question? He was asking about means to unlocking Splitting Heirs which, you know, is profitable?

[Wulfgang]

I've killed a few hundred Sandworms. We use DS scanners in each of the 6 viable zones. Three times SW has seemingly "skipped" a day. No DSs have moved, and it just does not spawn. Has anyone else noted weird behavior?

We got to 5 hours 45 minutes into window recently with no pop, wondering if anyone has any insight on this. For clarity's sake, window starts 20 hours from DV time and goes until 25:20 typically imo.
