Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[Byrthnoth]

They work (everything that gives xp at 75 gives xp at 80), and the repop rate is much higher than Fei'yin. However, word on the street is that it's swamped constantly these days.

Question of my own:
Anyone found Auric Dagger yet? I assume Abyssea somewhere.

[Diddy Kong]

When using Footwork with the OAT or OA2-3 times, would I /SAM and try for a 6 hit when survival isn't important, or /WAR?

[Cream Soda]

If you TP in usu or Cobra body, you can get 6hit as it is on /war and 5hit on /sam(not true xhit, but when including tp return from tornado kick). As for the answer, I don't yet know

[Diddy Kong]

That's assuming Usukane Sune-Ate? Because I don't have those, or either of the bodies you listed.

[Cream Soda]

No usu shoes, would be dumb to use them over kick dmg+ shoes, lol. I'd imagine cobra body being easier to get than usu, but I have usu, so that's what I use. Pretty sure cobra has 6 stp as well, though


Usu body + rajas + brutal for stp gear for TP'ing

Rajas + brutal + ecphoria stp for WS for 6hit on /war /nin ect

You don't need the ecphoria, but it makes it necessary to only land the first two hits, w/o it you have to land all 3 in order to maintain the 6hit

[Diddy Kong]

15 Store TP from /SAM, and 12 Store TP from gear, I'm still only getting a 7 hit I think.

[Cream Soda]

Footwork WS is treated as h2h ws. The first two hits are worth the same TP as a regular kick and then the third hit is 1 tp (which i think is also effected by store tp).


Using your example, /sam and 12 store tp.

From 0 to 100 is yes, a 7hit. But then we ws.

16.5 + 16.5 + 1 = 34 tp return

Starting from 34 tp
34 + 16.5 + 16.5 + 16.5 + 16.5 = 100 tp

After your ws, that's a 5hit build, assuming you land all 3 kicks, since only 4 melee rounds until your next ws.

[Diddy Kong]

Damn, I really hate campaign, but something tells me I need to get that cobra body.

[Cream Soda]

Brisk math and either white tathlum or the new back w/ 2 stp on it (w/ some acc and attack) would also work in it's place, but gl on brisk mask

[Diddy Kong]

Or either of the other 2 items you mentioned.

[drewbixcube]

OAT(DMG+) or Ridill h2h?

[Dooom]

However, word on the street is that it's swamped constantly these days.

Every time I search Ro'Maeve to see how busy it is as a potential FoV zone it's just as busy as Cape Terrigan; and Terrigan is normally like Beach Bunney's Aery.

[rog]

Ive never seen serious ( extensive) tests on the accuracy, we aren't even sure if it affects additional hits. We just assume it does +10 to all hits w/o sstatistical proof, since the description says " increases accuracy", and +10 acc on neck is standard.

They've been done, you just haven't seen them.

[Max™]

They've been done, you just haven't seen them.

Hell, I even did some!

Wasn't a huge sample size (like three sets of 400~500ish WSes?), but it fit right in line with the 10%~ Acc on all hits, as well as confirming the 2 DA cap on WS.

[cassiraa]

Tyty for gorget testing link, in the replies, looks like +10 all hits is confirmed within 95% test accuracy, which is good enough for me.

Best place for magian trial 79 solo? I was thinking the beetles in Garlaige Citadel.

I made almost 100k doing that trial on biddybugs in Jugner [s] solo. If you have more than 1 person you'll want a place with more spawns though probably.

[Kalisa]

OAT(DMG+) or Ridill h2h?

People are getting impressive results with OA2~3 + fulltime footwork.

How many items do i need to trade at a Outpost in the starting zone's to take it over?

Long story short, a lot. It's unreasonable for one person to do it alone... unless you have a ton of money burning a hole in your pocket and absolutely nothing better to do with it.

[Priran]

Some of the tests I saw suggest Footwork can't actually attack 3 times and those get lumped in with attacks twice, making the ridill claws not nearly as big an upgrade as you'd think

these tests were on alla though

[urat]

My wish list for gear, most of which isnt that out of my grasp but will require large amounts of work to obtain

TP: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=164787

WS: http://www.ffxiah.com/item_sets.php?id=164788

First off, for my TP build would it be more effective to get a PCC for more acc, or a tiercel necklace (which is way cheaper) to bump me up from 24% haste to the cap?

Im thinking with 50 acc and 11 dex on the tp build I should be pretty set for acc if I use pizza or sushi, generally my choice of food.

As for my ws build, I was thinking of using instead of Matre pants, who's stp-10 will make it much harder to solo SC, getting shantotto legs with conserve tp + Double Attack on them, putting me at +13 conserve tp i ngear + dancer's trait, however that much is.

Any adjustments I should make?

[Skeelo]

What kinds of builds are people using for sonic thrust? Highest ive gotten was about 1400, im using:

+14dmg oath/pole/-/astrolabe
champ.G/gorget/brutal/bushi
heca/heca/flame/rajas
cuch/warwolf/ares/heca

Also have perle body and alkys i could use. but just wanting to get some opinions.

Anything else on this? I really hope that isn't true... this trial sucks too much to make them fail. :/
