Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[Havok]

uh, if you're lower level than someone in your party you get less exp. It's been that way since the dawn of time.

[Terravcota]

Been 75 too long... ~.~ Thanks!

[Eldelphia]

Is there any place I can get some info on what's new in the game? I hate to ask such a general question.... but I'm not sure where to look now, and the info here is pretty sprawled out.

This is really useful for going back over version updates

Allows you to just browse back over the times you've missed.

[Falaras]

Considering you can't set Dual Wield until 80, I'd say Ninja hasn't been replaced for leveling?

Right you are, I'm dumb.

I'll go through that, and then follow up with research on Wiki. Much appreciated!

Weakest EP vermin, with plenty of pops?

- Garlaige Citadel basement doesn't have enough mobs for the repop... they're usually all dead for ~10-12 minutes.

- Boyahda has been working out okay, but there are a lot of links, which sometimes causes downtime (if they manage to start landing Sickle Slash)...

- Bees in Woodlands repop fast, but have shitty TP moves, and are higher level than the other options.

So far, Boyahda (spiders) is the best I've found... anything else better in terms of fast kills and fast repops?

[Nadrojj]

A person in my LS is arguing with me that a Perle Hauberk is better than a Hauby+1 and that it's not worth buying a Hauby+1 for himself because there will be new armor coming in the next update that will be better than a hauby+1. Thoughs?

Biddybugs in Jugner [S] are nice (perhaps not the fastest, but they're easy and piercing weak) , another option is to fight sheeps in Caederva and WS the chigoes the sheep will spawn.

Perle beats haub +1 in two situations.
You're a DRG
You're capped dDex, capped accuracy, capped attack and are only benefiting from half an fSTR and 2% crit bonus

In situation two, no one gives a fuck about how fast you kill too weak mobs.

Francisco, there are bees about halfway to tahrongi canyon and windurst (ones just outside are TW even at 10), also crawlers. Slightly higher level versions in Tahrongi Canyon and other Crag zones. At least that is where I plan to kill them for OAT h2h trial since puppet can 1 shot everything and I just get to run around deploying.

The layout is nice for getting an overview of what is new/changed.

so he's saying:

perle > hauby +1

then:

it's not worth buying hauby+1 cause it's going to be beaten in the 80-90 cap

did he just forget his comment about perle?

your friend is special.

Question:

On a good day, with a good number of mobs, how many AFBs does it take to burn a leech from 45-75?

Thanks.

[Phoenyx]

Is there a way I can get the Shantotto add-on through POL still?

Anybody? D:

[Tobi]

Anyone knows how much fast cast is on Vivid Strap yet? I tried asking the few people who has it, but got no answer.

Depending on camp/level/party you would get between 40 and 60k per burn (assuming just 2 hr burn and no thunderspark semi burn).

From lvl 45 to 75 it's ~600k exp, so a quick divide should say you need about 10-15 burns to reach lvl 75.

[Leolai]

Anybody? D:

In the FFXI menu on POL click optional services -> reg codes. Go through the initial menus and you can choose to buy the ASA reg code from there.

How is damage calculated for WS with multihits or double/Triple attack?

(D+fSTR+WSC)*fTP*pDIF + (extra hits)*(D+fSTR)*pDIF

(D+fSTR+WSC)*fTP*pDIF + (extra hits)*(D+fSTR+WSC)*pDIF

(D*(Hits)+fSTR+WSC)*fTP*pDIF

(D*(potential DA/TA)+fSTR+WSC)*fTP*pDIF + (Additional/Offhand*(potential DA/TA))*(D+fSTR)*pDIF

or some combination of the above?

[Byrthnoth]

You can think of it like:
pDIF*(Extra hits + fTP)*(WSC+fSTR+D)

Just remember that pDIF is recalculated for each hit to make it more random, and that only the first hit (fTP) gets the massive acc boost. Was there ever consensus about whether attack bonus WSs have the bonus applied to DAs?
