Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

That's right, I fail. But I didn't usually bother with D2 if the target was resistant (really only Bahamut comes to mind.), I had Dark Seal for the few months I had a kraken club, of course it was lost when I switched to octave build.

Whats the best way to level up the Goblin in MMM? Been trying for 75 belts but can't manage to level him/her/whatever up enough.

I've been consistently getting a glitch in campaign pretty much almost after every battle where the battle has ended but my tags are still on, even after all treasure pools have been distributed and I don't notice any other players in the zone with the same problem.

is there any way to fix this, it's getting really frustrating because I have to zone out and back in wasting time and AN to warp when I just want to stay in the same zone and farm in between battles.

Try logging?

Try logging?

I'm sort of looking for a more permanent solution.

Logging out is essentially the same as zoning, and neither has prevented repeat occurrences of this problem.

I was wondering if anyone else had an instance of Kotan-Kor Kamuy despawning after a certain amount of time had passed without him being touched?

A little backstory: was doing Trial 11 for my OAT dagger with a friend and we popped him. No one in pt needed the horn so we ignored him since we didnt have a set up to kill it anyways. Maybe 30min later (complete estimate) we stopped seeing him roaming around but didnt pay much mind to it.

Well after we were done I ran around to see if it was being soloed since there were like 5 other ppl in zone, none in pt. Did not find him. So i pop up radar and sure enough there is a Purple 100% spot for the NM. (On my color scheme purple means the monster was killed by someone else and in that instance 0% hp number).

So I am just curious if anyone else has had an instance like this or if wiki is just missing information on it. Either way i am interested in if it depops on its own or not. Thanks in advance.

Oh sorry. As far as I know its just a random glitch, I don't know anything that would permanently fix it. :/

Since I'm getting close to Medal of Altana, a question regarding it: Am I safe in just getting enough AN to 'pass' the eval in the sense of not losing my medal of altana, and then just never taking the evaluation so I don't have to keep refarming however many AN every 30 days just to keep it?

I know I won't have access to Sigil (Ops too? Didn't check), but that's the least of my worries. I'm just lazy.

[Kaisha]

LM-11 is 3-day iirc.

I tried to duo the Pulling the Plug ENM last night with my husband. I was on WHM, he was on MNK--plan was standard, kill the aqua MR, sleep the NM, obliterate the red MR.

About halfway through, my Stoneskin dropped due to all the Empty Seed knockbacks. As I was trying to recast it, I got drawn in and interrupted. After that, Empty Seed was so damn perfectly staggered that I could get a single cast off, so we wiped.

Bad luck, or did we do something wrong? Husband insists I go RDM in the future instead for Fast Cast, but I'm not sure how much it would've helped--my casts weren't even getting to 50% before another Empty Seed would send me flying. Should I be humping a corner and trying to refresh SS after every Empty Seed or what?

Everyone else gave you great advice already(make two separate one-person parties, use RDM, chainspell, etc.) but I'll toss one in too. Have the RDM sub BLU for Cocoon and Bludgeon. Cocoon reduces damage by a very large amount, and Chainspell Bludgeon speeds things up a bit.

Could solo it as either RDM/BLU or MNK/WAR, but it's too much of a hassle for a ring that never drops(at least for me).

[Byrthnoth]

Errr... 11 used to be perma and 17 used to be temp. In the Salvage bans I think they used both for perma. You should call them or get on their chat service.

I'd like to add, that even if he doesn't have polearm merits, there is the lance belt that you can get +5 skill while /drg. Used it myself for this fight until I got some pole merits.

LM-11 is under investigation for account termination iirc.

Really SE uses both for all cases, call them to know more.

Why does PoL crash nearly every time I Retrace myself?

Do you use spellcast?

[Athas]

Yes.

[homerun]

Yes.

If you change gear while zoning it causes pol to crash. There are a few ways around this, easiest being to not change gear when casting it on yourself. Typing "/raw /ma retrace <me>" for example.
