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

[Corresapolonia]

when you want to change your rajas ring to Tamas ring do you have to do the fight in "dawn" again or can you just thriow it away and choose the other ring at the marble bridge?

[Tsuko_Asura]

First time, throw it away and go to the tavern for a new ring. After that, throw it away, go get a CS at the tavern immediately(VERY important), wait 30 days, get new ring.

What are the best places to farm organs in Sea? I need at least a few of every kind I think, so any help would be appreciated. I used to have some links bookmarked but apparantly i erased em.

The correct answer to this question would involve someone smacking you over the head, and questioning why you would ever consider changing Rajas->Tamas?

There are already rings that outperform Tamas, nothing touches Rajas. urdoinitwrong

If he absolutely never plays any dd jobs, then tamas is ok.

despite the fact that i dont have that ring and that it was a queston for a person that didnt believe it's possible to change the ring. He started doing Mage-career now and i think the Tamas-ring is better for a mage than the Rajas.

would it be better to cap tomahawk or savagery?

Is the 'final' stage for Bonesplitter 108 DMG? Just curious because the math that was done before used that instead of 100. Then 100 Base DMG was used to calculate WS damage :s.

Edit: quote for reference.

Anyone want to double check my math rq on Bonesplitter vs OAT Luchtaine

Spoiler: show

Going off the set I'll have when I ding 75

http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=156458

77+16+5 str = 98 str

Colibri have 67 vit, which gives us 8fstr

So now we have

Bonesplitter: 108 DMG
Luchtaine: 84 DMG

In my the set up above, we have 22% DA between job trait, merits, and pole grip.

Bonesplitter: 22% DA
Luchtaine: 22% DA, 40% OAT

Bonesplitter will average: 108 x 1.22 = 131.76 DMG/attack round.

For Luchtaine, DA and OAT can't proc at the same time. We'll say DA gets priority (though you'd get the same result if OAT got priority).

Since DA is taking priority, it goes uninterrupted, you get a 22% chance to DA.
For OAT, it has a 40% proc rate, but can't proc when DA procs. So, it can only even has the chance to proc 78% of the time.
.4 x .78 = 31.2% chance to proc.

For each attack, you gain .22 of an attack from DA and .312 of an attack from OAT, for a total DA/OAT rate of 53.2%

84 x 1.532 = 128.668 DMG/attack round on average.

Also, we have 504 vs 514 delay, the 504 delay isn't a 6hit, but if you at least land two hits of your ws (the first hit being one), it's a 6hit. So, we'll call them both a 6hit in this case.

So, for DoT in respect to Stonesplitter

DMG: 131.76/128.668 = 2.403% increase
Delay: 1/(504/514) = 1.984% increase in attack speed

DoT in respect to stonesplitter: 1.02403 x 1.01984 = 4.435% increase



Looking at WS, based on this set
Raging Rush
http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=158388

Stonesplitter:
100 DMG
Fstr: 17
WSC: 49+77+5 str = 131STR 131 x .35 = 45.85~45, 45 x .83 = 37.37~37 WSC = 37

Raging rush is a 3hit WS, this set has capped acc. Under the assumption that only the first two hits can double attack
We have an average of 1.22 + 1.22 + 1 = 3.44 hits per raging rush
With our acc capped at 95%, we have an average of .95 x 3.44 3.268 landed hits.

For simplicity's sake, we will say the first hit lands (since it will have more ftp than the other hits)

Our average ftp will be 3.368

100 (dmg) + 17 (fstr) + 37 (wsc) = 154 DMG

154 x 3.368 = 518.672 average DMG


Luchtaine:
76 DMG
Fstr: 16 (Fstr cap on Luch is 16, so we don't get the 17th dmg)
WSC: 37

76 (Dmg) + 16 (fstr) + 37 (wsc) = 129 DMG

Same FTP as above

129 x 3.368 = 434.472 average DMG

In terms of Stonesplitter:
518.672/434.472 = 19.3798% increase in WS damage.



As said before, Stonesplitter will average 1.22 attacks per and Luchtaine will average 1.532
accounting for no tp overflow
Stone splitter will gain 1.22/1.532 = 79.6345% of the tp as Luchtaine (if you account for TP overflow and WS' gained from meditate, this will be a bit less)

And finally, from delay, the same as earlier
Delay: 1/(504/514) = 1.984% increase in attack speed

DMG: 19.3798% increase
Number of attacks per round: 79.6345% of the number of attacks for Luchtaine
Delay: 1.984% increase

1.193798 x .796345 x 1.01984 = 96.95% of the ws damage as Luchtaine

Assuming a 40/60 DoT/WS split

We have


(1.04435 x .4) + (.9695 x .6) = .99944 x 99.944%

Bonesplitter will do 99.944% of the damage as Luchtaine

If you want to put it in terms of Luchtaine
100/99.944 = 100.056 = 0.056% increase in damage.

They're essentially equal w/o looking at external TP. Once you add in TP gained from meditate, WS lost/not gained from tp overflow, and WS from TP gained from retaliation, they % increase of WS in favor of Luchtaine will decrease, which makes bonesplitter our winner.

[Byrthnoth]

would it be better to cap tomahawk or savagery?

Tomahawk is always worth having level 1 of. If you do HNM and stuff on WAR, you could consider level 5 Tomahawk. Otherwise you'll be better off with level 4 Savagery.

Does anyone know a location I can download all the recent/semi recent updates at? POL is being terrible atm.

Edit: quote for reference.

It's 100 DMG. 89 base and then +11 from the Magian Moogle.

Friends don't let friends drop Rajas. Lie to him and say it can't be done.

[Tomino]

Is there any decent pet camp or FoV camp to level my SCH from 35 to 40?
Also, I'm not sure if SCH with Dark Arts can efficently solo IT pets.

How do I retrieve my POL Member ID password? Do I have to uninstall/re-install POL?

[Xno Kappa]

Nah, its the Member ID's password itself that I forgot. The one that's client side.

[Xno Kappa]

Okay, just did it but now Windows is being gay and keeps telling me PlayOnline has stopped working. I remember having a problem like this before when I initially switched to Vista but forgot how to go around it. Any clue?

[Neosutra]

Do /cor Rolls get nerfed at all?

I.e. if we have a cor in the party and a /cor, and we have the Cor main doing Acc/Chaos, and have the /cor doing Cor's roll. Will the /cor get the job bonus effect or at least normal buff effect, or is it gimped?

[Cream Soda]

It's from wiki, so take it for what it is

* Corsair set as subjob is 7% on Lucky roll (5) and 1% on Unlucky roll (9).
