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

[ZhiGaruda]

The downfall is, critical hits will also instantly kill a chigoe, so that could wind up being counter-productive.

Yeah, that's what I was saying before. But I mean, assuming you have enough marids, it could be a nice constant course of mobs, instead of running around an entire zone looks for more mobs, or 16-minute cave repops. That's why I think Spiders in Boyahda / DA zone could be nice, with a PL, anyways. Plenty plenty to kill.

So whats everyone doing for the Hippogryph trial for the magian quest? CoP zones or grauberg[S]?

[Latheille]

I'll be redoing the ACP and MKE final fights to get body and head pieces for rng. Originally I was planning on R.ACC and R.ATTK +10 for mirke and STR+4/ WS ACC +15 and R.ACC+10/R.ATT+5 for the anwig, however I've noticed a few rngs walking around with Snapshot augments on their body and head pieces. Should I go with my original choice or is there something about snapshot I'm missing and should consider?

i think someone mentioned finding a dnc doing their weapon and duo'ing

[Callisto]

Grauberg is much easier, full gear/abilities access and the hippos are lower level relative to the player.

Actually if the Chigoes are EP in Grauberg S, depending on what surrounding mobs there are I could use them to TP on and sleep them when I run off to WS on the Chigoes...though it might just be overcomplicating the process.

[nekura]

Chigoes definitely work, by the way.

Trial quest 791 for staff, 100 spiders in wind/fire/lightning/light weather... Any ideas other than murdering SE for not letting weather stay up for more than 10-15 mins in Bhaflau? Also, The tree is nice... But weather pops there very infrequently when I need it.

[Callisto]

Kuftal gets wind/fire relatively often.

Shooting faster is good. If you are TPing using /ra then you want all the snapshot you can get. You can get a Zha'Go's Barbut for a snapshot head though, so the MKD hat you can make a WS piece.

Best suggestion I've seen is have peeps check the weather checkers in Rabao and Whitegate. If you see windy/gales with some sunny periods it means it'll be mostly windy. If you see sunny with some windy, it'll be mostly sunny, don't bother. Station a mule in Rabao, Whitegate is easy to get. Could also do for Boyada but depending on season, get more rain there than anything.

I feel your pain though, going through this now.

Does anyone have a favorite spot for solo war/dnc skillup? Trying to cap gaxe after doing level sync parties 60-75.

[Callisto]

B.Tree, you can pretty much go straight from Robbers to Steelshells, you may want Fort Axe for the higher ones though.

[JigglyJam]

On the weapons with +DMG augments, how does that effect weapon rank? Is the additional damage ignored or added?

[Nightfyre]

I believe a test on an upgraded relic indicated the +DMG is included in weapon rank calculations.

I gotta play SAM in Bahatmut v.1 fight (Storms of Fate) in about 30 minutes. I've never played SAM before, getting my friend the win.

I've done the fight before, and we're doing straight zerg with 15ish people and 2x brd buffs for DD parties.

My plan is zone in > meditate > meditate again if there's time before we go.

Use Sakkanoki > ws twice.

Use two hour, ws three times.

Assuming 2x march and 2x minuet from brd songs, and I use sushi, what WS should I be doing, and am I missing anything?

Sorry for the dumb question, just looking for a couple quick responses.

Thats a lot of people for BV1, lol. Sekkanoki do Yuki->Gekko and for 2HR do Yuki->Gekko->Kasha

Or..since it's a zerg...Gekkox5

Edit:

Pizza instead of sushi.

[Fiarlia]

I don't play SAM, this is merely a curiosity for me.

I understand that a SAM (excepting Sekkanoki or however it's spelled) will generally be WSing at 100 TP, which is why Hagun is widely used, for the TP Bonus. But I'm sure there's higher damage GKT's out there. I'm guessing that WS's make up such a large portion of a SAMs overall damage, hence sacrificing some DMG during TP phase for higher WS damage. But during Meikyo Suishi (sp?), would it be better for a SAM to swap to a higher damage GKT? I'm asking under the assumption (more a guess, really) that TP Bonus isn't active during 2hour.

This would probably also depend on having a true X-hit build and not relying on WS TP returns, since after 2hour you'd wanna swap back to Hagun and would be at 0 TP.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm a mage onry at the moment. Kinda wanting to take up a melee job and figure I better learn sum stufz. And keeping that in mind, don't be surprised if you see more silly melee questions from me. <_<
