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

Kupowers question: How often do servers get all of the possible kupowers?

[Nightfyre]

About once a year.

Spoiler: show

It's because of the Adventurer Appreciation event.

EXPing to 75, you dont really need the HQ staves, but once you're 75 you should invest in:Terra>Auster>Aquilo>Apollos (Repose is rarely resisted anyways, so its last on the list)

Not quite sure where Pluto's would be on that lineup tbh.

[Samonez]

what are the best options for the ACP body for BLU?

[sruon]

Confused as to why you're saying VIT+1 is more important than more m.accuracy on WHM's primary crowd control spell.

Terra's for slow, Auster's for Silence, Aquilo's for Paralyze, right? Or do they have other uses as well?

I just lost my campaign medal a couple days ago and I had a question: will any campaigning I do now (within the 5-day period where I can't apply) count towards my ranking up?

[Dooom]

Yes.

[Mateuns7]

Thanks a bunch. ^^

Hi :D

I haven't really started on Wings of the Goddess Missions yet, and well... all the rewards kind of suck right now...

Is there a suggested nation storyline that's worth doing first? (I hear the cutscenes are actually pretty cool) Or should I just wait until they release the final rewards?

San d'Oria Nation quests are the easiest to speed through to current, followed by Bastok/Windurst. The only downside of this is there is still no motivation to get the ball rolling in earnest without rewards. You could wait til this coming update to get started, as the lvl 80 cap will make everything much easier mission wise. Otherwise can put together a small static and blast through San d'Oria Quests/Main WoTG storyline.

[Kegsay]

Same advice as Sho. If you're going to shout for help though, do consider doing it in both Whitegate and South San d'Oria [S]. You'll be surprised the amount of afkers in Sandy[S] who are on the quest line too.

[Sumiko]

Thanks for the response guys !

[Cream Soda]

Assuming I can gather people, starting from Caith Sith mission, I should be able to catch up on WOTG missions before the update hits, no? I see two field fights and 8 BCs. The first BC is soloable from what I've read, haven't read any further.

[Khajit]

I'm past battle the fort S fight in windy S and i can attest that so far all the fights are retardedly easy and can be won 1/1 by a bunch of pre update pups with no weapon on.

Posted twice in the last thread, this is *not* correct. See http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/PDIF for the actual way attack and def work to determine damage.

It's a not-completely-inaccurate approximation, but when you're comparing things that close you better be spot-on.

I've been away from the game for quite a while and as far as I know a new pDIF formula hasn't been found, so I think ATK/DEF is still a good approximation for avg pDIF. True the formula won't be exactly accurate, but it still gives a better idea than "this is better than that because I eyeballed it".

Lost me on the last part; VIT lowers your enemy's base damage, correct? Why would your defense have any barring on that?

Defense plays a role when comparing BOTH the vit difference and the def difference between Osode and DS harness

[Eldelphia]

I'm taking white mage to 75, and to be honest I don't think I'm going to be able to afford every HQ staff right off the bat. It'll be something to work for.

My question to you guys is, which HQ staves are most important to WHM?

Cure Potency Teiwaz is the best curing staff to date. Other than that, if you're serious about whm you'll want apollo's (repose/banish/flash)/terra's (slow, damage down)/Aquilo's (para)/Auster's (silence)/Pluto's (for dark arts)... but honestly, it depends.
