Random Question Thread VII: I Find Your Lack of Research Disturbing

Do mog tablets show up on Apradar?

It does, but not by that name. You'll recognize it when you see it, lol.

[tenkiki]

Came back to the game, looking at the sidhe weapon fights that occur in the past and may have missed this, but can you use campaign temp items for them & still get the augments?

[Jakson]

Any server in particular sell a lot of vbelts? 8 people were at KA yesterday, and none of them were looking to sell.

I don't know what you're talking about(unless Mogball Locale), but tablets show up as Mog-Tablet on apradar.

For those that do Omega, what drops do you guys often get alot? It's been 9 fucking months now and still no feet has dropped. I'm wondering is it best to just buy them to finally 5/5, or should I just stick it out a little bit longer?

Depends on your LS and how much they cost. Can those points be allocated to something better? Can that other item be bought for at a cheaper/the same price as Homam Feet? What would that gil go towards if not used for Homam feet?

[Tobi]

The only thing left for me to get besides homam feet is nash pants, which has a long ass line due to rarely doing Ultima... I would rather buy those, but I want to finally finish my damn homam so I can take PLD to 75 once I get the 25 to complete morri robe. I can get a shell to sell me feet for 2.5-3mil. Right now, BLU and DRG are my only jobs that can use homam till PLD 75.

If buying them means you maintain your place/rank up in the line for Nashira, I would buy them.

[Tobi]

Even with all the points I have that would only put me 5th in line for Nashira. Half my LS wants them and some been saving points for awhile.

[Yugl]

Where would you be if you used your points?

[Tobi]

I'll have to double check when I get back monday, but I believe 4th or 5th, only 3 or 4 people have more points than me and those 3 or 4 people is also after nash pants. I know I would have been 3rd for sure, but I've been gone for a month and missed out on those points.

[Yugl]

If it means you wind up in the same spot, then by all means get Homam feet through your LS. It may be a toss up if it bumps you up to forth though (i.e. what is faster, you getting 3mil or getting a 5th pair of nashira legs?).

[Mazmaz]

What's the best way to take over La Vaule? I am so determined to unlock that BCNM again I even made a campaign LS. Sandy hasn't had areas in 6-7 months now.

[Tobi]

Getting the 3mil would be alot faster, but I'm gonna try to do one more Omega before giving up for good. Omega floods us with hands and bodies all the time, but still not a single feet drop from 9 months of doing Omega >_> I love my luck sometimes...

[Radec]

What steps do I need to take to redo Shan. pants? Toss pants, get hexes, fight, or is there an additional CS somewhere to reflag?

Yeah, you can get hexes and toss pants right before you enter the BCNM.

Try to find a time when sandy owns the most areas, preferably everything but la vaule or just everything near la vaule/jugner. I find the most frequent campaign times for la vaule are when everything else is owned by sandy.

There are some pretty neat tricks you can use to work with the NPCs in this zone. If you have a group of people its really simple. From the La Vaule entrance head south into the first tunnel. At the end you'll see some houses where the campaign monsters and ??? will be.

When campaign starts have someone pull a mob or mobs into the tunnel near the corner. Fight there until the NPCs arrive. When they do your puller will need to start feeding them the monsters by placing them ahead of the NPCs in the tunnel. If done right you can feed them monsters one by one until the NPCs are clear to leave the tunnel for the ???.

Valaineral R Davilles also likes to frequent this zone. Feeding him and letting him go to town on 2-3 mobs at once with his wicked WS is great fun.

Been trying to do it that way, but so far haven't had enough luck to clear the whole field. Once we got really close and had only 2-3 orcs left when another entire unit just popped on top of us. I've been watching JPs pull mobs AWAY from the area and try to kite them away so that the NPCs can reach and attack the fort. Is this a successful strategy?

Getting popped on is the worst part. Its really about luck though. Sometimes you'll end up with 3-4 waves of campaign mobs and some lame NPC group. Other times you will end up with 1 wave of mobs to start and 2 groups of NPCs.

I dont think kiting is really effective in la vaule. In my opinion it just sounds dangerous due to all the mobs that aggro level 75s. Just do your best to keep the NPCs alive. A group of support jobs to buff/cure/assist them would probably prove effective. Some NPC groups can survive a wave of mobs popping on them with the right support.

Again, it really comes down to luck. There isn't much you can do if you make it to the fortifications and 2-3 waves of monsters show up immediately. From my experience if you see that Valaineral and his crew are on the way you should prepare for a good campaign

While I'm not sure if Campaign tags (and bought temp items) will wear when you start the battle, you cannot lose EXP during the fight.

Tobi, what Avatar/Sig is that?
