Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

Pretty sure he can only have three stored, like assault tags. If you take one he won't have three stored until 20 hours after that point.

Remember that you can also have ~3 stones worth of saved time from prematurely leaving abyssea on top of the 3 stones you can have in your temporary key items.

I've gotten 9 stones in the last 20ish hours or so. I got 4 yesterday, 2 earlier today, and then 3 more after doing some abyssea. He can definitely hold more than 3.

edit: checked my logs, it was less than 20 hours, so that's 9 without replenishing any more.

edit2: tried using 2 more stones, and then he wouldn't give me any more.

What is a good place for crawlers in dark/earth/ice/water weather? Seems like boyahda tree or crawlers in crawler's nest, though heard neither had particularly common weather.

What about goobs in light/thunder/wind/fire? Seemed like tree might have the most frequent weather, but relatively few spawns at dungeon respawns. Nest or sanctuary more common weather?

Yeah I've definitely been able to get at least 6 stones in under 72hrs, fairly sure he either stocks more, or it's less than 20hrs.

Do bloody bolts proc on belfries? Wiki says drain works but want to check before I try it out. Also will amount drained differ any between repeating xbow or obow?

[rog]

No.

Repeating Xbow will drain your gil more.

[rog]

Repeating Xbow will drain your gil more.

Except that he's going to be shooting only as fast as he needs to to keep his hp up, not as fast as possible, so it won't really cost any more >.>

[Jimothy]

Yeah, the main purpose is just to solo the windy quest A Feast for Gnats or whatever the name is. I saw a vid of a RNG zerging it down but I was concerned I wouldn't last as long as he did due to my Taru fragility.

[cdgreg]

can you slow or elegy Tammuz T2 VNM Ram?

[Koyangi]

1) Do the Aftermaths from Mythic stack as such: Use 100% tp ws, then use 200% tp ws, and you now have acc+attack, then use 300% tp ws, and you have all 3?

2) If I just save 300% tp and then ws, I will only OAT but not have acc or attack?

3) Can you put more than 4 pol accounts in pol? I remember seeing an SS where someone had a scrollbar on his.

[rog]

1) No. You'll only have the highest one. If you ws with 300, and then again with 100, you'll still have oat.

2) Yes.

3) Assuming that ss wasn't shopped, no one knows how he did it, afaik.

Do Erucas count? Mt. Z. has earth weather fairly often. Rolanbery Fields [S] has crawlers too. I'm sure it rains there fairly often in the appropriate season, whenever that may be.

What about goobs in light/thunder/wind/fire? Seemed like tree might have the most frequent weather, but relatively few spawns at dungeon respawns. Nest or sanctuary more common weather?

What about finding someone that can be a level sync target for Zi'Tah? If you can go during monsoon season, you should get it done fairly quickly. I'm not sure if you can team up with other people, but, if you can, don't forget that there are also goobbue on the upper floor near steelshells.

Is it still possible to solo the pirate's chart quest on SMN, do they lose interest if you run too far away?

[ronin sparthos]

Rather new to MMM so, two-parter:

Maze Rune 015 (Motion) - what exactly does this rune do? The in-game description wasn't all that helpful.

Also, why do certain runes resonate when on the tabula while others don't?

Motion and Stillness help to lock in certain NMs for Voucher 07 and speed up/slow down the movement of monsters in Voucher 06.

In Voucher 07 those runes also change the TP sets of certain monsters. Stillness for example adds the CoP Dynamis moveset to Tanihwa (NM Bugard) whereas without stillness it'd act like a normal bugard. The same idea goes for Motion with certain NMs.

I haven't done this in a very long time, but it used to be SMN soloable relatively reliably (once you figure it out) before Goblin Bounty Hunters were introduced due to a patch of terrain on the west end of the beach where you could hold them safely with what is now referred to as "pinning". I don't know how badly gobs ruined it, since I haven't tried since.

However, you don't need to pin them to win. You can also run off to Selbina after the first Judgement Bolt long enough for BP to be up again and Hundred Fists to wear off. Resummon and BP again and only one should be left alive, which your Avatar should be able to take care of. For the second Ramuh BP you need to be able to take a few hits, so some HP+ gear helps. IMO the most important part is to use your Yag drink and pop Astral Flow shortly before they pop and have Judgement Bolt up in your menu so you can tap twice to quickly hit the mobs the moment they pop. That way you don't take damage at the start and are able to sustain some hits when you resummon. To do this you need to know the Tarutaru ghost's dialog. It's on Wiki I believe.

[JigglyJam]

I've got someone to hold the gobs while I do the kite strategy to selbina, but I was wondering if that would return a too far away message.

I'll try it and see what happens. I'm not sure how to go about pinning stuff.


EDIT: yeah it still works, a nub on wiki was the reason for my doubt. Straying too far from the ??? before the monsters spawn looks like it will null the engagement though.

[Amok]

I can understand the doubt. Since FoV NM's have the same 'confrontation' status and they have the limited range. The pirate's chart thing was one of the the first if not THE first confrontation battle and I wouldn't have known if they changed it with the introduction of the new ones.

What is the best magian Great Axe now?

So using Motion/Stillness in Voucher 01 (have been using pre-made Tabulas from Duplidoc until I get a better feel for MMM) would be all around pointless then?

Bonesplitter (DMG: 102) and Luchtaine (DMG: 76 and OAT) are the two realistic options. Situational, etc., but they're the two best magian GAxes as it stands.
