Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[Darkmagi]

I know you can lower hate by trading the npc apkallu some kind of fish. I'm not sure which but you may want to bring a lot of them. Arrapago reef though has a lot of them also though.

[Byrthnoth]

Hamsi I thought?

Have you tried just zoning though? Or cfh killing them?


edit: missed a t

[Cream Soda]

cfh doesn't count

What are the pos for apkallu in all their respective zones? I need to kill 450 of them

Alternate between the ones just past the first ship on Map 1 of Arrapago (entrance 1 from Azouph) and the ones at L-6 on Mount Zhayolm. There are some more south of L-6 but those are mixed in with agro mobs.

[Cream Soda]

eh, unless hate decreases fast, I don't think i'd get to swap zones more than once before having to stop.

Also, where are these npcs that i trade fish to?

They're green-named Apkallu that waddle around the zone. I seem to remember there's one in Mount Z near the entrance to Halvung that people normally kill Achamoth at (also conveniently where you land if you escape from Halvung).

waddle around the zone... great

So out of boredom Im picking my beastmaster up again to level it, and was wondering what would be the steps to carbon copy the krabkatoa model over top of courier carries.

Is this even possible? I know people have copied other models over top of dats like the antlions in boneyard gully ENM, so do I just find krabkatoas dat and copy that over courier carries, or do I need to also copy the animations for his attacks over the ones for couriers so he doesnt glitch out?

Random question:

Does anyone know how to add maps to Apradar?

Thanks in advance, tired of looking at blank radar for new areas.

I will suck a dick for the answer.

Credit where credit is due, requiem posted this a few pages back. I'm not sure if this didn't answer your question or you missed it but here was the post:

Pretty sure there are just three steps to add maps into AP radar.

Firs you need to add the check for zone in ApneaControls.dll where you assign the zone with a specific ID (unsure if this is checked against FFXI memory code or just has to match Apnea's other map coding, my AP radar II folder goes up to 255 IDs).

e.g. white gate is <zone name="Aht Urhgan Whitegate" id="50" />

You would want to do <zone name="Abyssea - Tahrongi Canyon" id="256" /> or whatever the actual zone name comes up as.

Next you would open the map.ini file and add the zone and assign the specific map image to it, which would be the .gif which is alphanumeric.

You would then need to add the .gif for the abyssea or whichever zone, which you could find in the abyssea thread or on wiki.

If it's not a single map you would need to add position conditions for which one to bring, which you could use infobar to find if you're really that impatient.

I know I'm missing one step from where you take the control assigned ID and associate it with the specific zone for the map file, so if someone else wants to add in that step should be all you have to do.

Does the Damage +8 Magnatus overcome the Martial Gun's TP Bonus, or is Martial still king for Slug Shot and Detonator?

[Eleven19]

This new Hoard Ring (STR-4 DEX-4 Store TP+4), would that be worth it for any build requiring 6-hit setup? Some SAM builds, some relic WAR and Scythe builds? Curious it losing whatever else you'd be wearing there (Acc, possibly Blitz) would be worth it.

Edit: For example using this instead of Rose Strap to get Double Attack back, or something else in that grip slot.

The green named Apkallu appear only if a regular mob Apkallu is left untouched, I think. I've heard when people are actively killing Apkallu, the NPC Apkallus become regular, targetable monsters. Also, as I'm sure you know, the hate is zone-wide, so if anyone was there killing Apkallu before you, they will still be crazy strong birds.

Also, if there was a NPC Apkallu, it would be among the normal mob Apkallu unless someone traded it a whole bunch of fish. When that happens the NPC Apkallu follows the player around, and will run to them whenever they zone in, etc.

Is there any other way to check how much Crour you have other than checking the Cruor prospector under Visitant status?

Even Anarchy (48bD, +10% dam for Detonator - one higher than Magnatus at the stage before Armageddon!) isn't better than Martial for Detonator, I never bothered mathing it out for Slug after that. Not a chance considering needing the TP bonus to get anywhere near a decent hit rate. Assuming neutral fSTR, Martial is ~15% more damage on Detonator than Anarchy, so imagine where something without a mod would be.

Completing quests and checking warp thingies, but again both require vis status... not sure of any means that dont =/

So with Emiko or who ever not doing dats anymore, what are people using for icon dats these days?

Can martial arts trait be compared to haste? If so, about how much haste would one level be?
