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

[Jeryhn]

If you are hitting for 0 using a DMG:1 melee weapon, you will not gain skillups.

[Raen Ryong]

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

Only DD attack/str I have on is fire bomblet, dusk hands/feet, cuch mantle

[Cream Soda]

How I read it.

[nyaraa]

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.

Thankyou Thankyou <3

What are ideal TP and Dancing Edge sets for DNC for meriting? Assuming I can cap Dagger merits and am spamming Crab Sushi, I'm thinking something along these lines:-

DNC/NIN TP
======================
Main/Sub: Thunder Dakini/Damage+ Athame
Ammo: Astrolabe > Tiphia Sting > Goblin Cracker
Head: Acubens Helm > Walahra Turban > Optical Hat
Neck: Tiercel > PCC
Earrings: Brutal > Suppa > Hollow
Body: Raparee Harness > Enkidu's Harness > Etoile Casaque
Hands: Dusk
Rings: Lava+Kusha Set > Toreador's > Sniper's/Woodsman > Ecphoria
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
Hands: Enkidu's Mittens > ?
Rings: CHR/DEX rings (?) > Lava+Kusha Set > Toreador's > Iota > Sniper's/Woodsman
Back: Etoile Cape > Cuch > Forager's
Waist: Warwolf Belt? Virtuoso Belt?
Legs: Dancer's Tights +1 > Enkidu's Subligar
Feet: Denali > Heroic

Any comments?

Rajas + Tor > * for TP phase

TP gain is critical and Rajas beats even a second Toreador's for that. I also recommend Bream or Squid Sushi; you shouldn't be losing food all that often and it frees up slots/adds needed accuracy. I don't think you can afford to use both Tiercel and Acuben's Helm, but even if you can you'll only get a fraction of haste from one of them with Velocious Belt and Dusk Ledelsens +1. At this point a trade for Store TP such as White Tathlum, Fourth Division Mantle, or both (you're giving up 10 acc for neck or head after all) would be better for TP generation. I'll double check acc numbers momentarily and edit accordingly unless there's another reply.

edit: you've enough acc to cap with Bream using Tiercel + Acuben's but not with Crab or NQ Squid.

What does the final chest in CS Apollyon and Basement Temenos drop?

[Martinius]

how does one 5-hit a tomoe? is it possible w/o usu body or white tathlum?

thanks!

[Pendulum]

Full Store TP merits and 19 Store TP from gear is 'true' (20/hit) 5 hit.

[shepardG]

What's the most efficent and quickest way to farm Scylds for Evolith's ? I read shayama's (sp) Live journal and i'm gonna go spam goblin wolfman, but is there anything easier? that doesn't require me spending 6k a pop on gobbie drinks?

Maybe an NM that has a short respawn timer, and gives 10~ scylds?

[jimbobsonofgod]

scylds?

I did Opo-Opo before the VNM update but I hear T1 VNM are the way to go for syclids these days if you have clear and colorful you can constantly pop for free.

[zard1977]

Does Martial Master work for defensive combat skills?

[Zirk]

I see no reason offensive and defensive skills should be treated differently, they are both under the combat skills category.

[mdkuser]

thanks!

need 54 store tp for 480 delay.

Trait: +25
merit:+10
rajas+brutal:6

Need 13 more store TP: rose strap (+4), hachiman Kote (+8 ) ecphoria (+1)

alternatively, make an ACP body with stp+4, acc+10 and keep pole grip.

[Colenzo]

When the hell is this awesome update coming out?

[PeaceNLove]

Is there any way to re-obtain a trial weapon after dropping it? Talking to the NPC again didn't result in anything.

Grab it from the chest? You'll have to start over again though.

[PeaceNLove]

Err, sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm talking about trial weapons for weaponskills, e.g. Axe of Trials.

[Tachys]

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

I am actually starting to think that if Tauri sees you then all other mobs can see through Invis also.

I remember a long time back there was a computer program that told you have many ws points are on your weapons. Like trial weapons for example. Does this program still exist where can I get it?

When a mob does a hate reset move, can you just cure yourself for hate? or do you have to do some kind of action on the mob before that works again?

[Byrthnoth]

So, the entire demon family links to one another, and real demons run the fastest. It's likely that you guys are agroing Tauri (true sight) or Ahrimans (sound) and they're linking to Demons (really freaking fast) and killing you indirectly.
