Random Question Thread IX: Mathology 101

Fairly certain all 3 pieces give 5%.

Quick question about chocobo raising:

Whats the difference between a brisk short walk and a leisurly short walk? I'v been doing the brisk one as it sounds like it would help physical stats, but there is no cutscene (just black screen and text) so maybe brisk just means a shorter walk-"animation" or w/e like the brief daily reports ~.~

Yeah, it just skips the animation, effects are the same.

Is there something that tells you the amount of stats your subjobs give?

What are people's typical Tavnazia routes? Specifically after clearing up to the ??? on 2 and 3F. We currently have a thf sac whilst the ally wait in the central donut and generally re-kill our path (ie: 3F south corridor and hall) but it can lead to probelms with big links because thf has popped a lot of stuff on sac. Just wondering if others have some ideas.

huh????

When the thf sac's have him run the other way lol through the non pop mobs, you know, the side you didnt farm. So there's no re pops when u redo.

Do you have access to an alternate character who can hold a spare hourglass at the Hieroglyphics? If so, it's only a matter of dropping your hourglass, selecting the ??? to get the time extension (it is possible to do so without getting aggro from any of the new spawns), then reentering Dynamis once you retrieve a new hourglass from the alternate waiting outside.

Choose someone to check the ??? who has a job that can still provide some reasonable amount of utility while in reentry weakness; getting deliberately KO'd to readjust the weakness timer is also an option if time is critical.

I suppose this would answer your question... eventually.

Yeah, that was. Thanks.

Spellcast Question:

I want it so that if I have powder boots currently equipped, it locks in these boots such that any action I do keeps these boots on. However, I carry multiple pairs of these boots in my inventory and if I do a simple lock, it's switching to another pair then locking it. I want it to just hold the pair I'm wearing now and lock those in.

[Deader2818]

NVM, lol

[Aerynlia]

Not that it would solve your spellcast issue, but you could put them at the top of your satchel and bottom of inventory for quick swaps. Shouldn't be too hard to switch em out while kiting.

Does mountain worm (the NM) depop? I'm in the Ule Range map tunnel and all the worms are 100% but there is no NM up...

just do //sc disable feet

this completely ignores all feet swaps until you

//sc enable feet

how does Aesir Mantle stack up against Foragers in capped acc (but not capped p.dif) situations?

Close enough to what I need, thanks!

It's better for gaining TP (not necessarily overall damage) than Forager's certainly. Whether it is better overall depends on your level of buffs and your TP/WS ratio. On Darksday Aesir Mantle will beat Forager's for all but the really melee DoT-orientated jobs and otherwise... probably only GKT SAM will benefit more from it unless supremely overbuffed.

I wouldn't go out of my way to get one and would think carefully about losing an inventory slot for such a situational mantle (I might use it for Last Resort macro for DRKTP; that's about it personally - you could think about using it for WAR Berserk up etc too).

Does BG have a warhorse hoofprint locations thread?

I use the following on my paladin for ice trousers... Pretty sure you could change it easily. Just add it at the top of your rules and it'll take precedence over everything. Hope it works for you

<if EquipLegs="Ice Trousers">
<equip when="pc|mc|ac|idle|autoset">
<legs lock="t">%EquipLegs</legs>
</equip>

2 random questions...

Which would you main hand if you're dual-wielding Aymur and Guttler?
I'm trying to get both...

Also..

Is a diremite's butthole the thing on the bottom? or is it like a squid and that's it's mouth? Because i've been using diremites as a cage for when i'm afk.. and someone made the comment that i had my head shoved in it's butt.
