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

[Benz]

depends. for hundred fists and sam pt zerg, Minuets, for pretty much everything else, march, from what i understand.

[nyaraa]

Ok so can Garuda's P.claws double attack?

is a ACP body with pet: double attack +2 and crit hit +1 better then a summoner's doublet which is pet: crit hit +3?

[Darkmagi]

pretty sure its 2hr march + haste + non 2hr march (from 2nd brd) so you can do 2 kirins one each using 2hr and having capped haste for both burns.

Thanks. That was what I was thinking of.

Is there an easier way to skill up gax on war or am I SOL and going to have to shout for a pick up pt?

188 gax atm and figured I could get king's justice while skilling up and kill 2 birds with one stone.

War/dnc on page 4 FoV (w/ signet) valley of sorrows.

Not getting any WS in cause all my damn tp and the skill ups coming at a horrendous rate. It's a damn weapon, not guarding

[Darkmagi]

I loved skilling up war on mandies in the tree with war/dnc + retaliation. Grab a couple/few and enjoy the retaliation spam. Also fort axe.

[Cream Soda]

Those mandies are almost at its cap for me and the higher lv ones i wouldn't be able to do multiples of.

[Darkmagi]

Well one of the higher level ones should still be pretty good skillups for now. If you are able to bring a rdm friend with phalanx 2 and then you can take a lot more at once.

[Cream Soda]

Well, sand cockatrice are lv 71-74, just had one take me out and dlv me to 74. Korrigan (black mandies) are 72-75. Don't really see myself being able to take them out reliably. Why the fuck does war suck so bad for solo? I can auto attack afk with staff and go take a shit and come back w/ that thing dead.

[Darkmagi]

use pdt gear and defender, etc. They really don't hit that hard imo especially able to manage with war/dnc + fort axe. You should be getting hit for a lot less and a lot more often so TP gain shouldn't be a problem too.

Do I have to be on a certain mission to have access to castle?

[Darkmagi]

No but I hear that gets very slow after 200s. But afk skillups ftw I suppose.

[Xno Kappa]

Okay so I completely forgot my password. Help me out!

I believe it can, but it'll just be a regular hit, as it doesn't get an M value. Don't quote me on this though since I don't think anyone has tested it (pretty hard to as well with 2% proc). However, I think ACP body will beat out Doublet with those augments, however Doublet+1 will beat out ACP body. My LJ has some testing on avatar PDIF if you're curious to know more.

Back: Etoile Cape > Cuch > Forager's
Waist: Velocious Belt > Swift Belt
Legs: Barbarossa's Zerehs > Etoile Tights > Dancer's Tights +1
Feet: Dusk +1 > Enkidu's Leggings (?)

DNC/NIN Dancing Edge
======================
Ammo: Astrolabe > Tiphia > Cracker
Head: Enkidu's Cap > Dancer's Tiara +1
Neck: Soil Gorget
Earrings: Brutal > Hollow > Delta > Aesir Ear Pendant
Body: Enkidu's Harness > Etoile Casaque

Are the demons in xarc S true sight/sound? Fucking swear it's the second time I've run by them w/ snk/invis up and still aggrod. had to hp both times. 35/42k to get lv 75 back

[Deader2818]

Sure you didnt aggro a tauri? Isnt that what happens in the Range?

[Cream Soda]

I had a Tauri on me, but snk/invis was still up as it had not hit me yet (was chasing me) and while it was chasing me the demon magnus began castnig. 3-4 secs later my snk/invis came off, and like a second or 2 after that the spell went off. 2nd time wasn't a tarus in sight

[Deader2818]

Well, Tauri link to Demons so the first time makes sense, not sure about the 2nd time.

[Cream Soda]

ah, bullshit

Edit: fainlly made it to the fortalice. Any confirmations on skill cap? nothing in the past 5 mins or so. Gonna go shower and then head to bed w/ my guy afk on here i guess
