Finally got rid of those damn Puk, was damn hard to have a good ratio on kill/time due to sword trial on same mob and random idiot

[jimbobsonofgod]

There a better/just as good alternative to U range for lizards 264/2000 and i already want to punch someone.
(please don't say Kuftal tunnel)

Cape Terrigan or Valley of Sorrows?

[Phraust]

Cape and VoS are bad, Packed to the earlobes with FoV people.

Cape is usually like that on Diabolos, but Valley is typically pretty empty. YMMV, I guess.

[Heie]

Indeed. Grinding trials in Cape Terrigan. I honestly was thinking SE broke relics or some shit. Missed 2 MTs in a row, landed next, miss, landed, miss, miss. Down to ~700 WSs right now and I can´t even count anymore how many I missed. Definately feels like a lot more than I should have missed.
All this in TP gear so no -acc or -dex anywhere (not that it should matter on EP mobs anyway).

I have been noticing the same problem when doing trials. Almost feels like I have a 25% miss rate with WSing. Which should not be the case on EPs. Specially stuff that was EP to 75 much less now 80+.

[Fievel]

Obviously we all just need to suck less.

[Ophannus]

At least THFs can just Sleep Bolt-> SA+WS for 100% hit.

I'd like to direct you to the additional effect that procs everytime you don't need it to. :\

[Kirschy]

I'm fairly sure the miss distribution isn't even. I've missed 4-5 WS in a row more than once. Granted I've done 5x weapon trials, the statistical probability of me seeing multiple misses in a row is so low it suggests a non-even distribution. That being said, my total statistics for Apoc's 5th trial:

Total WS readied: 2,243
Total WS missed: 93
WS Acc: 95.85%

[Fievel]

Best camp for Rafflesia in Fort? killing the ones right where you get warped in but having to wait for repops, slowing me down!

[arus2001]

Just wander SW some, but be careful of the NM that might pop.

[Spartan]

there is at the very least 3 JP exca doing trial, i saw them today

Thanks, appreciate the info - unfortunately they don't fit in my time zone/play time, and that's pretty much what Ragna has to offer (the other non-JP I know is waaaaaay ahead of me.)

Bad I'd be glad to be wrong!

I did most of mine in the Cape, during JP primetime you don't stand a chance but most week nights I found it quite empty.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Man where are the upgraded mythics? Anybody close yet? I am hoping to be half way done with mine tonight.

[Rhealana]

Oh, yeah.. finished Gungnir lv.85 yesterday.

Placebo effect or not, but DMG126 is kinda nice. :D

Man, too much new shit to do, I've barely even tried working on it yet.

[Vyvian]

Finished Spharai tonight, liking the new WS numbers, especially with 999 attack.. I'll have to see if I can borrow a rdm again and repeat my counter test.

[Vyvian]

Ok, got a rdm friend to help me again.

Did a similar test as to last time. Sushi to acc cap, capped staff and h2h skill.

Did an earth staff test and a spharai-85 test, but the results are near identical to what I got for level 80, making me wonder if we've been looking in the wrong place the whole time.

I started attacking for a bit, but my highest regular crit that was not a proc was 2 damage higher than the highest damage counter, so I don't see any evidence of a damage increase.

[SovereignFFXI]

any recommendations on a good arcana camp for Annihilator's third trial? I've been pluggin away in Ro'Maeve but there's so much competition for the weapons it's making an already tedious quest even worse. I tried the dolls but after a couple Meltdowns I quickly gave up on that idea. Someone recommended bombs/clusters in either the Cauldron or Zhayolm... but I havent tried them yet since I just get visions of explosions and lots of wasted time and exp.
