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

[Khajit]

What's a good augment for Fay Lance that will be better than Thala?

That depends entirely on what you and the rest of your pt's acc is.
If any of you are uncapped on acc then you're probably gimping yourself and others via extension due to the lackof an eva down proc. The amount is -20 eva btw.
It procs often enough to make a difference on my meat setup for lolbri on drg and nearly/cap acc despite being 15 acc under 407.
In other words without polearm merits and/or aurum body you could be gimping yourself by getting a fay lance. And with most average players that becomes an almost complete certainty.

Does anyone know if Crab sushi is for melee ACC only. Or does it add Ranged ACC as well?

[Tarowyn]

soboro should be fine as well. just to be safe, bring extra meds on your first try.

when i first did it (i used a GKT iirc), i brought an i. wing, 10 h-pots, crab sushi, and a vile, to be safe. i used all of them and failed on my first attempt though ></

I wouldn't recommend using soboro for vahzl really, too much damage comes from meikyo. Maybe if you meikyo with koryu and then swap to soboro. Also, meat is good there, shouldn't need sushi.

And just to add, SAM can solo promy holla too, just need a few meds.

It adds both.
Asking for your COR?

[Mateuns7]

tried that too, no clue what it is this macro worked fine last time i used it

Only thing I could suggest is that you should try reinstalling windower after backing stuff up.

Oh, and you do NOT need a semicolon after each line.

Are you sure it adds both Acc and Racc?

Hm?

will try it but i've never needed it before, my other macros work fine just boost

I had an old skilling up enhancing magic macro that had this in it...

input /ma barwater <me>
wait 5
input /ma barthunder <me>

Not sure if it works anymore though, also I don't have any ; after my lines in windower script macros.

[Mateuns7]

Wait doesn't work, at least for me. Has to be "pause x;"

[takethistoyourgrave]

Are you sure it adds for both? Wiki says melee only, and I popped some the other day PTing my COR and was still missing at about the same clip.

Edit: Late to the party.

Also, Squid Sushi is better than Bream Sushi (AGI and DEX instead of VIT and DEX, unless I'm missing something) and costs roughly the same on my server.

DRG Thala vs. Party gimpness

Good point, I don't have any pole merits as I'm 20/20 and it's simply for fun. Best augment I got tonight was DMG+3 Pet DMG Taken -1%.

Maybe I'll just keep trying for a good blu sword instead.

[Cream Soda]

wait and pause have both worked for me and this macro has worked the 22 times I've solo'd jailer of fortitude (hour and a half solos, nothing but boosting and chi blasting), but for some reason shit just ain't working no more. Shit's fucked. I did about a good 6 hours worth of chi kiting today (and fucking 2 oracle shoes instead of enkidu mitts fuck you nuhn you too wulugaru fucking taking up 4hrs on your own) and need to do so again tomorrow. Would prefer to have a working macro to having to manually boosting each time.

[Tahona]

Can you elaborate on the Sam solo promy holla please?

Squid is only +15% acc and racc

Food Effects: (30 minutes, All Races)

* HP +30
* Dexterity +6
* Agility +5
* Mind -1
* Accuracy +15%
* Ranged Accuracy +15%

NQ bream is +16%

Food Effects: (30 minutes, All Races)

* Dexterity +6
* Vitality +5
* Resist Sleep
* Accuracy +16%
* Ranged Accuracy +16%

Personally I always assumed the extra +1% acc meant more tp thus more slugs, and the +1% RACC had to be somewhat equal to +5 agi? I may be off on the +1% RACC conversion there, I have no idea what the #s are.

Also I'm 100 fisherman, so it was a lot easier for me to fish up eastern breams in Nashmau and then use the bream +1 for real win!

A friend of mine on game is telling me that attack food has diminishing returns on Sam for Y/G/K due to the sharp attack increase from the WSes, meaning that your attack gets capped on XP mobs. I'm pretty sure he knows that 999 isn't the hard cap for attack. What I want to know is if there has been a hard cap found for Y/G/K, and how wrong my friend is.

[Raen Ryong]

He is correct and the "hard cap" varies based on mob defence and level. Typically however if using Tachi: Gekko on an XP-level mob, Attack is going to do very little.

[Tarowyn]

Can you elaborate on the Sam solo promy holla please?

Lol, can't post url to the vid as I'm low on post count, but it's pretty simple. He's also done holla with mnk and war and mea with mnk as well if I recall.

There's not much to it really, sam/war, berserk, ws, hysteroanima, meikyo, ws, icarus, ws, ws, ws, beat the last bit to death while using psycho/terro and hi pots. He didn't even bother waiting the extra 3 min at the beginning of the fight since he was trying to speed run it, lol.

[Avelin]

i was away for about 5 hours today to get into a restaurant with my friends. i let the game run and it was nothing bad about that.

when i came back that asshole friend of my roommate deleted my character. i wish i was fucking kidding. so after i got his ass out of the Apartment i tried to restore my char with that "character recover shit" but my char didnt check up in the character list. i tried it every hour to see if it updated but it didnt.

i don't wanna play the game from the fucking start.

can Customer Support help?

inb4: "u shulda kickd his ais dog"

Did you call the SE support and/or get any answer?

[HKR]

Taking the advice of "lol level something useful you stupid melee" I've been doing blm solo camps following the guide on the wiki. It's been fun so far, but now I'm 40 and hate every single camp suggested. The Temple camp sucks because even without the cat in the way the pulls are extremely slow. The Castle Zvahl Baileys camp is horrid because it's all the way up near the keep zone. What are my alternatives here?

[Bress]

Is it possible to solo Temenos Western Tower as MNK/DNC or as blm?
