Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

[MaachaQ]

I thought the pages for the individual songs on BGwiki and otherwiki had that info on?

Not that I can find, at least recently when I checked... I mean like you need 550 combined skill to get the highest tier on minuet, stuff like that (pulled that number out of the air, I don't think it's correct). I remember seeing a chart that listed exactly how much skill you need at certain levels to get the highest possible stats from songs, but I can't find it now...

[Soho]

I was wondering if someone had a link to a page which has the skill tiers needed to get the best results from bard songs. I tried the search function on BG and the Wiki, but can't seem to find them... Trying to make sure my macro sets have enough skill so that I can perhaps put in some haste in some slots for better efficiency.

Every song has different Tiers.

FFXIclopedia.com has them listed at the bottom of each song's page.

/facepalm... I was looking at the general song pages, not the pages for the scrolls... TYVM

Is there a growing consensus on what the upgrade rate is for VNMs? From the ones we have done it 'feels' like about 10% for T2 upgrade and 25% for T3 upgrade. That's based on probably less than 100 kills though. Just wondering if numbers on upgrade % were becoming more clear.

[Windfoxster]

Personally i went 1/50 on T1 to get a Colorful crystal at one time. Ignoring that bizarre occurence, my average upgrade chance for T1 ~1/15, T2 ~1/10, T3 ~1/3.

What options are there for samurai r.acc bodies? this LJ entry had me considering building a decent r.acc set for times when I'm weakened and want to stay out of melee range, but I'm a bit loathe to spend 2mil on a Kyudogi for such a niche set, and the only alternative I can think of is Osode.

Only alternatives is the Osode and an NQ/HQ Jeridah body.

[Dooom]

Yuck, ok. And Jaridah is worse than Osode, so not worth considering. Thank you anyway.

[Nightfyre]

Stupid question, but are physical spells under the effect of Chain Affinity effected by the "Weapon Skill Accuracy" stat? Reason I'm asking is because I was thinking about making an Anwig Salade for my Blue Mage once it hits 75 and was debating if I should do Str4/WSA 15 and Dex4/CritHitDmg%+ or if I should tack on regular acc and attack.

They aren't. The critdmg+ will however affect your SACA Cannonballs and Vertical Cleaves. Consider STR/WSDMG as an alternative to your above choices.

Doh, that stinks. What notable magic attack bonus gear should I look into for when I get to higher levels? It seems like there's none other than moldy earring right now.

I still have upgrades I need to make (50% done with Magian gun, need HQ rings, merits, etc), but I currently use this set for QD.

I'm doing the Magian quest for the Pet MAB +7 staff, and I'm on the 'kill 100 slimes in earth, water, ice, or dark weather' tier. I've been trying to get them done in Pashhow Marshlands [S], but it isn't working out. Where's the best place that I can go to get this part of the trial done?

You can turn that off in the config, otherwise mouse_blockinput 1

zhayolm earth weather on clots

According to the wiki, clots do not count as slimes for the purposes of this trial. :/

[GeneJackit]

Some Qs about Flash...does MND do anything for it? What effect, if any, does Divine Magic skill have on it? I would guess it was the potency of the blind...

[Chen]

was thinking of starting to SMN burn my merits regularly since me and a friend have both got alt chars, and SMNs on main but got a few questions about the legality...

what are the odds of 1year later SE bringing out the ban hammer?
have SE ever commented specifically on the legality of it?
has anyone ever asked a GM about it?

i'm aware ppl have got in trouble to do with holding all the mobs from other players, anyother info?
