Random Question Thread VIII: Wait, There's a Sticky?

FFXIStyle 1.15 seems to work, just tried it. Haven't found any glitches so far.

Just installed FF 1.15 and it borked my game

Nvm, tried to use UImodinstallerthingy to install different background for chatlog, doesn't work. Anyone have a working one?

[Khajit]

Same thing happened to me. just replace the background .dat to a default one. it's in rom/0/14 i think. Basically that's whats causing the explosions.

Didn't see if this was posted, anyone know how long it takes for a linkshell NPC to restock? Been 2 days and she hasnt had a single new one yet.

Heard someone say it would be new conquest turnover but i wouldnt like to put money on it/

She ended up having more after the guild holiday.

I got a key item "Mega Bonanza Kupon" from a Goblin NPC in Port Jeuno.

I have no idea what this is for. It doesn't seem to have numbers assigned to it...

Halp?

Edit: I bought it off him, thinking it was a lotto ticket for the next lottery... but it doesn't seem to be...

That's the entry key item for the final BC for the Kupo d'tat expansion.

Why do I keep crashing when I type any / command?

Why do I keep crashing when I type any / command?

Are you wearing any new gear + spellcast?

[stewie]

Are you wearing any new gear + spellcast?

No, though I know it's some plugin, unloading them all lets me use them.

Edit: Seems to be Spellcast, can /wave etc with all other plugins on.

Dunno what version I'm using I just use it for shorter spell names, anyway I can check?

Edit2: Nvm I'm stupid.

What's the formula for calculating Accuracy? Otherwiki looks wrong and BGwiki's Accuracy page is blank.

[Byrthnoth]

My take on it is:
Accuracy = {(Skill lower than 200) + FLOOR[ (Skill higher than 200) * .9] + FLOOR[ DEX*(.5 or .75 depending on 2H or not) ] + Job Traits + Gear Accuracy + Job Abilities} * or + Food modifier depending on the food

75 MNK with Destroyers and 299 H2H skill

DMG: 53 Delay: 348
Critical Hit Rate +6%
(~5.89 TP per hit with 19 Store TP)


75 MNK with Wargfangs and 299 H2H skill

DMG: 52 Delay: 440
Occasionally Attacks Twice
(~7.09 TP per hit with 19 Store TP)

Is this correct? This seems like a potentially huge upgrade for MNK, getting "Occ2x" and getting pushed to the next tier of TP gain (Delay per swing going from 174 to 220).

This is basically a 26.4% decrease in attack speed, with potentially a 45% increase in double attack?

Can anyone who is good with them, throw some numbers out there for me and the other monks out there?

Edit: Also 20.37% more TP per hit, assuming Usu Feet/Body, Rajas and Brutal.

I'm hearing Cointeach aggro Songs. Has anyone tried this?_?

[Vyvian]

Has anyone noticed that using Chi Blast on mnk, on a yellow spider in ToAU areas causes them to stop moving and stop attacking for 1-2 seconds? It happens every single time when I try it, it works on both the outdoor ones and the ones in mamook.

Also, Final Heaven has the same result, making the use WS on vermin 1500 times actually a bit easier, since I can freeze their attack rounds, but I've been curious why this happens, but most people I talk to don't know what I'm talking about.

This has been the case since ToAU was released. I'm not sure what causes it, but it's a nice little bonus.

It can be a little annoying when pulling them with Chi, as it gives another spider an extra couple of seconds to move into range and link with it.

It is quite nice for soloing, Final Heaven is closer to 5 seconds of 'stun'

[Tsuko_Asura]

Potentially silly question, but is a six-hit even worth it for SAM without Rajas/Askar/Usukane?

I'll have Rajas in a month, but I'm not sure if dropping 6% haste is worth it until then.

Edit: Err, looks like if I WS in Domaru/Kote/Sune-ate, I only have to TP in Kote to keep six-hit.. So, I'm guessing yes.

[Castellano]

stick with the haste for now

[Tagus]

I apologize for the blatant simplicity of this question, but I'm in a location where a majority of webites are blocked, can't find it anywhere, and haven't gotten online since the update due to RL etc...

Has the level cap been raised to 80?

Edit: Nevermind, found it

Since I don't belive in the "45%" occ att twice BS, I'll just assume that that the weapon+brutal gives 55% chance of DA on the first punch and 5% on second punch. If you check the math done here and adapt to the 440 delay/double attack you find :


New weapon (D+17 delay +140 occ att x2)

Assumption : full usukane, /nin brutal.
pdif : merit-like pdif => 1.3 non crit, 2.3 crit, 1.6 asuran fists
mods : 110 str 75 vit for asuran
crit : 10%
asuran fists : gorget
fstr : cap (10)

95% accuracy for melee and asuran.


average rounds till 100 tp : 4.9898

asuran fists damage is therefore 8.1*(35+17+10+0.83*0.10*(110+75))*1.6*0.95
melee damage per round is therefore 0.95*(2.6*(35+17+10)*pdif1+0.15*(35+8 )*pdif1) where pdif1 is the pdif average given by crit and non crits :
pdif1=1.3*0.9+0.1*2.3
(the 2.6 in the formula commes from 2 punch, 5% DA/fists, 50% occ att twice)

The damage per second of this weapon is threrfore

(0.95*(2.6*(35+17+10)*pdif1+0.15*(35+8 )*pdif1)*4.989877194+8.1*(35+17+10+0.83*0.10*(110+ 75))*1.6*0.95)/(440*4.989877194)*60=56.43 dmg/s



Destroyers

average round till 100 tp : 7.364
Adapt the above formulae with 16% crit on non kicks
pdif1=1.3*0.84+0.16*2.3
pdif0:=1.3*0.9+2.3*0.10

(0.95*(2.1*(35+21+10)*pdif1+0.15*(35+8 )*pdif0)*7.364+8.1*(35+21+10+0.83*0.10*(110+75))*1 .6*0.95)/(348*7.364)*60=55.73 dmg/s


conclusion : none at this point, the difference is relying a lot on the actual proc rate of the "occ att twice". With the above 50% assumption you get a weapon 1.3% better than destroyers ("only"). If you do the math with a 45% assumption it's now 56.0 dps vs 55.7... So at this point I'd rather spend my play time farming virtue stones than camping retarded NMs for a weapon that in the end is worse than hades for tanking and faith for pure DD.
