Random Question Thread XI: You're Wrong

[Eldelphia]

wait a sec, what's the fix?

I'd assume downloading the newest one from the windower site

[Channellock]

yo, i looked around google but might have phrased it wrong. I was wondering if there was a chart/guide for telling when a mob checks ep,dc, etc. so i could use the wiki postings on mob's lvl to do trial weapons or get blue spells.

Has anyone tested for Stoneskin's new cap yet or shall I load up on MND gear and go to Altepa to see what happens? I'm willing to do so, just don't want to do it again if it's already been done.

Fair enough. Yes, pause 1; is a single second. "Wait" does nothing in windower macros.

Wait works perfectly well in windower macros, and it's what I've always used. FYI.

The first and second floor eyes that pop the TE ???. There's enough room in between the two eyes in tunnel so you can kill only one and one person stay behind to touch it without getting aggro from the repops and left-over eye? Is that always safe? Do they even roam at all?

There is enough room to clear one of the Vanguard Eyes and hit the ??? without aggroing the other. The Vanguard Eyes immediately surrounding the ??? do not roam, however, the post-??? spawns on the ramps leading up to the tunnel DO and it is possible to aggro them if you try to leave the tunnel area.

Drop your hourglass, hit the ??? for the time extension, pick up another copy from an alternate waiting outside, and reenter. It is always safe if you are aware of your positioning.

Currently doing the continuation of my Teiwaz cure staff, trial 1700 requiring 15 bottled pixies. The High Priest near Oztroja [s] is heavily camped at the moment.

Wiki says there are 5 spawns on a short repop in the zone. I have wide scanned, I feel, the entire zone. Is there a hidden pocket of Yagudo's somewhere that I am not seeing?

[Mercilessturtle]

Does Tiny Warrior remove perytons? Those birds are no joke (800+ Triple Attack).

Just lowers the odds of getting them. You will still see them, cockatrice and hippogryphs. Also triple bats attack down can really slow you down without a whm. There is no way to force an ideal set of mobs in there.

Due to lag for some reason Fourth Mace was equipped over Muse Tariqah. Also ignore lack of 2nd MND earring/ring. The equipment set above predicts a 453 Stoneskin yet it remains capped at 350.

Basically, if cap has been raised, it's a 76+ thing and not a global thing.

Also if you look closely on equipment screens I do have Phalanx on but I took it off when I engaged. Dunno why I buffed with it in the first place, habit I guess.

Thoughts on max D Magian OAT + low damage Athame as compared to combinations involving the OA2-3 for DNC?

EDIT: Since nobody has responded and I've had some time to mull it over, my own thoughts:

While Athame + OA2-3 would be better raw TP gain, it's also potentially detrimental to future progress along the Magian paths - for instance, assuming the next update doesn't introduce an OA2-4 weapon of sufficient quality the best combo for raw TP gain will be max damage OAT + the current OA2-3. It would potentially also spec out to a decent DD build, though STR/DEX path + OAx is probably favorable there. So while it might not be completely ideal right now (if at all decent?), it seems like a potentially good bet for the future.

I'll test it at 76 later.

HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

[ZhiGaruda]

At what base dmg is a Hagun outperformed on ygk?
I'm sure it's higher than:

But just curious.

109 or 110

Anymore conclusive evidence on this? A brief overlook of the forum results in several different opinions. To be clear: Looking for math responses, not just "i think"

Goes in rom\119

Fixed baramnesia, and abyssea icon, and something else, but i don't remember what it was.

Thank you again.

I haven't had a chance to log in yet and try this newer 57.dat but I noticed with the old one that the new Utsusemi counter icon only displayed the numbers 2 and 3. With one shadow remaining the icon reverted back to the blank Utsusemi icon with no numbers.

It's not a very big bug but if you could find a little time to change it (if you haven't already) that would be great. Thanks again.

The number is there for it in the original, unmodified .dat?

Yes. I played for a couple hours without any custom icons before you posted the first 57.dat and there were numbers on all 3 icons.

That should do it. Sorry about that.
