Random Question Thread X: Fucking 99 Level Cap, How Does it Work?

[Lonoha]

Nevermind >.>

[TheTaru]

Been entertaining thoughts of levelling THF(mainly for nonexistant TH); what are some fun/challenging things I could solo/duo?

[Kirschy]

Ixion Cape vs. Hecate's Cape. Which would you use on BLM and why?

I've run tests on various mobs, and Hecate's Cape won by 1 damage or more depending on the tier. (Tried T3,T4,AM2,-gaIII.) I still have Ixion's for forcing latent and for harder targets~

I only compared twice /w Ugly Pendant latent, but Hecate's still won both times.

Yeah there are definitely a ton of factors involved. My reasoning that the low-man groups would now provide a significant amount to currency to the market whilst larger groups would practically clear zones, greatly increasing the supply. I also assumed that demand may not rise but instead stay the same..sure more people would see relics as an obtainable thing, but a great deal will also be waiting in anticipation of the "new" relics.

Of course, when Dynamis inevitably fades out as a regular endgame activity, prices will go back up. At that point, however, it won't truly matter because you could get a nice amount of currency with only a few friends.

The thing is, people wanting to take small groups to dynamis won't make a difference, unless Dynamis becomes instanced.

Most zones are almost always packed. (At least on Asura/Leviathan)

Not around the clock. If you're going with a few friends you don't need to stick to a schedule really..

[Despain]

Not around the clock, no, but prime time definitely. Hell, I'd say from around 10 am - midnight on most servers almost every zone is occupied at any given time.

I could be wrong though, I'm speaking from pure speculation. Either or, I think prices will most definitely raise.

What's a decent RC setup without askar head, hands, Vbelt, or hachiryu kote? Trying to make something decent since I have shitty nyzul drop luck. Also no HQ dusk yet.

[Tsuko_Asura]

RC, Turban, Blitz, Swift, Byakko's, Aurum

Free's up hand slot for Ares/Hachi/Alky(depends on Acc/DEX)

Best setup I can come up with. If you had Velocious, I'd probably say mix things up so you could use Ares head, but meh

[Darkmagi]

Would fulltime Haste belt be a good option assuming I don't go broke doing so?

[Tsuko_Asura]

I used to think so, but apparently the delay in using kinda' cancels it out.

You only need to use it every 3 minutes...how long does it take to use?

I'd imagine that +6% haste/-4 acc would beat it, as long as it doesn't take like 20+ seconds to use.

[Tsuko_Asura]

+4%, you can easily cap with Swift Belt

And lets not forget the loss of a belt during WS

[Darkmagi]

Haste belt gives magic haste though. DNC + brd + haste wouldn't cap total haste without 2hr would it?

Hmm, that's true. How long does it take to use anyway?

[rog]

With march x2, and haste, you'd only get ~8.75% or so from it, due to the cap.

[Aurara]

uhhhh, like 1.5-2 seconds i think

[NynJa]

So, I need the hoofprint for my mule, I've found 4 'dead' points with apradar in all 4 zones...but its not up. Did I overlook it like a retard, or is there actually a timeframe where they just aren't up in any zone?

[Stromgarde]

Ostensibly it moved to a point you had already checked before you got to where it was when you started looking.

[NynJa]

Ostensibly it moved to a point you had already checked before you got to where it was when you started looking.

So you're saying its always going to be up somewhere at any given time?

[Stromgarde]

I don't know that for a fact, but I'd say it's the more likely of the two possibilities.
