Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Cairthenn]

I've been kicked from server about one hour and half ago and been unable to connect ever since. FF14 beta client unable to check version as well, playonline.com works, but is really slow. I'm in Italy (vodafone ISP), also tried another ISP (Colt) but same result. Maybe someone unplugged the wrong cable at SE xD

I'm getting R0 every 5 minutes. Something is wrong on their end, pretty sure.

Anyone know of a good guide to making spellcast xmls?

Everything is explained very well there.

Definitely an issue on SE's end, far too many people are having this happen while having no issues with other internet programs. Also seems to happen only in certain zones (e.g. gathering for dyna-tav last night, lots of us complained about r0ing. Enter dynamis itself, no problems (except for one guy with internet made of potato). Dynamis ends, kicked back out into tav, people start r0ing again).

Are SCNMs capped at level 75?

Okay, so I need to kill 500 Vermin and I've seen people suggesting Chigoes. Do they count if you crit them and one-shot that way?

Other options I see are the back of CN and Wajoam Woodlands (I swear there are always a few JP out here killing bees). I'm a fan of Signet and Sigil, but not of Sanction. Where should I be?

[rog]

No, they don't. Get a kc to pop them in mire, and kill them with blaze spikes.

Anyone know if it feezable to kill Adze with two thf/nins range attacking it while keeping it pinned?

If Chigoes are a problem (depends largely on what trial you're doing, I suppose), Biddybugs in Jugner Forest [S] are probably your best bet for abundance and ease of dispatch. Crawlers' Nest would work, too, but dungeon respawn times piss me off.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's highly unlikely. It's already a thf mob so it's evasion is pretty large, and it's not like thf ranged attacks are massively damaging and you'll have no ranged WS either. Then consider that it has +movement and yeah, I'm gonna be putting my money on the Gnat walking away victorious.

Been slowly gearing a THF mule up, for earring will brutal screw up THFs triple attack?

[Khajit]

Not enough for it to be beaten by anything else.

This should give you some decent info on SA/TA selection at least.

I personally did Wajom for mnk, Not sure if thats what job you are doing them on. Theres a spot with 3 nests I was able to pull 1 nest at a time and just countertank them (I had a rdm mule) Even without a mule this is a better location because others mentioned they ran out of pops at the 2 nest ones.

Does anyone have a table showing DPS of the top 5 GKT? Mainly looking to see how well the Magian OAT GKT does against the other choices.

This^, I believe this location is G-6 just south of the mamool ZNM. Spiders directly west of it if you clear all 3 nests, too.

Also, consider The Boyahda tree if you don't have access to a mule. Mages tend to congregate there on my server for their Staff trials (50 spiders in light-SC weather, in this case thunder), and a few Rdms were more than happy to haste me and follow my ass around while I cleared the zone of spiders so they could get points whenever weather clicked on.

Shouldn't be.

Best place for Goobbues under Fire/Wind/Lighting/Light? I was thinking sync and kill them in Zi'tah. Also, for Zi'tah, what season is thunder weather most common?

[Hayguyz]

In regards to Blobdingnag, are there specific puddles in pashhow that prevent the adds from agroing when summoned? Or are people just standing in retarded places? Only had 1 pop so far where the boils did not agro.

After several days of going crazy waiting on weather in Pashow [s], I just went to top floor on Boyadha Tree and told myself I was farming them for money between weather pops. Everyone else I know on this kind of trial ended up doing the same.

The Boyahda Tree is good on the second floor if you can find a group doing it (there usually is). In regards to weather, I have no idea.
