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

[Yarko]

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.

That might be the problem ;x
On a serious note, I haven't seen skipped days/ double pop days in a while now. I thought it was fixed.

lol after 5.5 hours we go check the 7th zone (zone it popped in the day prior) obviously. Body in same spot.

Lost the link to the March vs Minuet debate, wondering if someone could link it to me?

What is the fastest way to solo to 37 on NIN and DRK?

[Aero]

Solo to 12. Seek until youre invited to an Astral burn party. Then spend the rest of your time in qufim.

Any chance if I drop my TOAU ring a GM could give me a different one?

Also, how do you know when its safe to engage LAC after BJs? As in how to know when its done BJing.

when the first charmed person is uncharmed, wait a few seconds then resume (Its possible to be charmed twice, lol)

While LAC is in BJ mode he has some kind of auto-med thing going on. He'll keep trying to use TP moves like Inertia Stream/Discharge (when not using BJ of course!). If it starts back to melee hits, you'll know it's ok~

They would give you the same one.

32/201 2da is pretty crappy. 26/201 (ie trying to offhand) is shit.

Azoth is 35/210, much better DPS. 4 acc is prolly giving you the same benefit of DA if you were in an uncapped situation, but even with all of dancer's acc, 2 da isn't worth mainhanding a 32/201.

Get an azoth, emerine's tail, or that scylla's dagger.

Astral Burn pretty much and you can do FoV too. If you can grind yourself up too qufim worms however (which are like i think 18? i don't quite remember x.x) you can just level sync and do worms repeatedly to 37 pretty good xp per hr and such D: especially if you get a PL.

Except he said solo.

FoV then, I'm guessing starting areas>canyon/highlands/plateau>dunes etc.

Max damage a DNC adds for one melee by just haste samba is 50% (70% to 80% haste). Keep in mind there's also at least the initial defense down step, regardless of how fast a mob dies this should at least add some damage... capping pDIF is not very natural in FFXI.

Works for me (not like I need very much reason to come DNC), but: Mohammed must move to the mountain.

What would be the best setups for expansion armors for a solo, duo tank thf that is either being dualboxed or piloted by a person that hasn't played in a long time. I was wanting to say 3 haste 7 evasion on pants but I can't decide if Antares Harness would be best tp body in this situation or mirke setup for offensive. And for head would it be best to set it up like like a Turban+1 or set as ws piece *not sure exact augments* for nonstacked ws.

<if Status="idle">

Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this rule? Basically I cast haste/refresh/stoneskin/para/slow in seveneyes/wand/shield and when I go back to my idle set occasionally my grip errors out and doesn't equip.

Any ideas?

All my suggestions for spellcast would involve not overusing such useless shit.
