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

[arshesney]

I made a bet with a friend....

For doing splitting heirs... You need only to have controlled La vaule (s) ? Or u need the 7 areas in the power of sandoria ???

You need to control all the seven areas.

You need to control all the seven areas.

Since when?

[Nightfyre]

Two weeks ago we took everything but Ronfaure of all places, no Campaign Op. Finally took all seven zones this past week though.

Any tips for Plucking Wings? Valefor unlocked it this week, and am wondering if there's anything we need to be particularly aware of.

Whenever I change main jobs or visible pieces of gear in the Mog House at my home nation, POL crashes and I have to restart it [sub jobs work fine]. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? This only happens in my home nation and no where else. I have dat swapped a few pieces of armor and weapons, but nothing crazy. And I am also running Aikar's version of FFXIstyle. Thanks in advance.

It's probably the dat swaps. I used to have this problem with a few different mithra face dats (some of Nattle's, most memorably the red-headed one with pigtails and glasses, one which combined Haja's hair with F5 model by another author, and one which combined Haja's hair with F4 pig-tails), changed them back to default, and it stopped.

From last page, but actually, fuck that.
Why do people seem not to like Snapshot when ranged TPing?
Apart from the Barbut, I feel like cors never use Snapshot stuff. Like, why pick QD augments on your ACP body - if you care about your cor enough to augment your body just for it, why not pick Snapshot and use it as your ranged-TP building body?
Also, why not use Commodore Hands against W hands?

Trolling on the ACP body i hope? Cor will spend very little time shooting for tp compared to QDing and meleeing. I don't have a good answer on Af2 vs Whands though.

Agreed on ACP. Most people I've seen who use WHands over Gants do it because they stopped doing Dynamis prior to leveling Cor. If someone has both and doesn't use them, they're probably just dumb.

Just got linked to this and this, but I can't read moonspeak and I suspect google translate is mistranslating. Good data or no?

QD-5 MAB+4 is the best you can do for cor. you add so much dmg with the -5 on QD.

Sandy has Xarca and Beau; are there any new ops for these?

[Talisien]

I read on other Wiki that you can duo Jugner(s) ANNM fight (Zmag Ognjeni Vuk) with Rdm/Whm and Mnk/War with defense food and defender. My friend and I just tried that and the mobs hit for a reasonable amount (fully buffed they hit me on mnk/war with defender, phalanx2, and tav tacos for 0-70, with an average around 30) however when there's 6 of them I fell like a rock as soon as he ran out of MP, getting the 1st mob to about 30%.

Any advice/tips? Go for sleeps? We tried super tanking for fear of rdm getting run over, but if sleeps are the solution, why not /blm for Sleepga?

We're also fine bringing more people (seems very easy with 3 or 4) but just trying to understand other Wikis "Rdm/Whm + Mnk/War" strat.

Thanks!

I have no experience with the bc but why not /blu instead ? +50% def will beat defender

[Cream Soda]

Yea, once you use defender, you lose 25% of your attack, as well. Will make the fight longer. /blu will offer twice the bonus in defense, with no penalty to your attack.

Is that website with the live feed of every server's whitegate chat still around

A random question for a ranger friend of mine:
When does eastern shadow open after a maint?

Window should be open upon server reboot. So in other words, lotto is open when you log back in.
