Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[rog]

I did mine in kuftal.

[miokomioko]

You got Pso'Xja, Kuftal Tunnel, Quicksand Caves...

[Rocl]

You guys are supposed to tell me some secret awesome camp with lizards efts and raptors and bugards and everythign i hate you

[Byrthnoth]

Yes it is. You either don't buy any nq, and use something else the majority of the time when you don't have any hq, or you synth it, and sell all your nq.

It hardly matters.

5.34 fTP without ball
5.4 with nq
5.64 with hq

~1% increase with nq from DA
~5-6% increase with hq from DA.


And not everyone is a cook. Maybe this is decent Zerg food if you get mads or have lacking penta gear. Otherwise it is not that hot really.

I've been doing mine in Kuftal since there's raptors there as well.

No, of course not. But you still can assume hq.

You and your eft fetish.

You don't need to pull him to quadav charm gate, there is an area behind a rock right behind where he spawns that has plenty of aggro-free space. You absolutely should keep shell/protect dispelled below 33%, if you don't you will not be able to outdamage his cures unless you have best possible gear.

I don't know if this was said already, and I've never done this myself but from what I've heard of my friends doing it, they also melee with a Ceremonial Dagger w/ enspells to make the fight faster. I would assume this would be an alright option to make the fight go faster.

Quick question for myself since I would eventually like to do this: Does it start resisting slow, and can you land it with a full mnd build reliably or just go straight enfeebling build from the start? I have 5/5 Slow II and somewhere around 330 enfeebling in full enfeebling build. Missing cape, earring and legs.

[Darkmagi]

Was able to land slow at least 80% of the time with like 265 enfeeb skill without gear in a mostly full potency set. Just swapped to slow1 if 2 resisted. Shouldn't be a problem to go full potency and it doesn't gain resistance.

[Fottiti]

Ceremonial dagger setup works fine on all of the straight tanked ones, personally I was too lazy.

Full potency is fine on all the NMs for slow, nothing builds resist since bind/grav don't land (iirc?).

[Jimothy]

If you can find someone with a level 10 job they wanna level, syncing to them and doing lizards in like konschtat or ghelsba or something seems like it'd be quick since those lizards die in a few hits when EP. Don't know if you'd hit 400 before they become too weak though.

Speaking of ceremonial dagger, my RDM is almost 75 and I picked one up to try it out, do you need things like errant gear with -STR or something or do you just use standard melee gear?

It depends on your str and the mob's vit. I know i was always stuck using mahatma body/legs on rapido on my elvaan because i had too much str. You need to get fstr-1 to always hit 0 damage, which requires 14 less str than the mob's vit. For mobs with high vit, you can just use full acc/haste gear, but for low vit mobs you may need to throw on some errant.

[Jimothy]

Thanks, I thought I had read somewhere before about needing that. Good thing I'm taru :D

This?

[Khajit]

Yup/ And bookmarked.
Looks like we only have job adjustment announcements left as far as meaningful announcements go.

For BLU Cannonball food, hydra kofte yay or nay? Gives STR +7 and either Def. +21% or 25% (I've seen conflicting reports.) It seems like a good choice, but appears to be somewhat rare since not many people bother to kill Hydra.

[darkepyon]

I was always curious about this, but is there a sword in the game that uses the reskinned excalibur with the black handle? (unknown09 in MV/AV I believe)

The problem with it is that the defense caps rather low

7 STR 70 DEF (max) vs 6 VIT 150 DEF (max)

The potential extra 80 defense tends to make it the best choice. Taco also has +1 hMP/hHP, which can be kind of helpful.
