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

[Sumiko]

This is very, very vague.

Oh okay.. like.. um... let's say I want to be able to calculate my Disseverment damage vs Colibri,

or Drakes set vs Birds in Tavnazia or something.

If there was no such calculator, just ignore me For some reason I thought there was...

Look up Masamune (Someone that posts here). His calculator is the most recent, but it is missing a few options (Namely OAT options for certain weapons).

Any tips on forcing failure of ice ore harvest? To get leaves instead. Feed the ice crystals on a non-correlating day maybe?

what's needed for 100% kill rate on a kirin zerg?

no relics, gear pretty close to perfect for everyone who i'd be bringing

3 brds, 1 smn for PD, and melees.

3 brds, 1 smn for PD, and melees.

we haven't done kirin in a while, but we've yet to lose one going with 3 bards (rotate to each pt, so everyone has SV madrigal/minuet/march x2), a drg for angon, a thf for feint, and an assload of melee. melee should be subbing war or sam, etc., no /nin shit. we have our brds drop after songs and replace them with whms, tho i think putting smns in for PD would work very well. our average kill time (no relics, no kclubs) is about 45-50 seconds. unless you're using a low-skill weapon (like a kclub or mkris drk), everyone should be eating meat, especially with the price drop in dragon meat/red curry buns. whms should start hasting their pts outside of pt when the brds are in their 2nd of 3 pts.

if you don't have smns, your whms should bene after astral flow and not be stingy about big curagas, they won't be pulling hate.

Can RDM solo all the CoP missions to sea?

We killed Kirin with BRD x3, SV March2/Min4, NQ March1 Min3, Mad Mad

melees were MNK/NIN x3 DRG DNC COR

Support was RDM + WHM.

If you have more melees then you probably shouldn't have problems, with 3 MNKs 1DRG it took around 1min30 to kill.

Why the hell you kill kirin without treasure hunter?

[Hyriu]

We always have TH4 herp derp

[Cairthenn]

TH4 really isn't worth mentioning, because there are always THF mules.

Might have been more interested in zerging without 2hrs at all. Really easy to zerg him with 2hrs.

Using one Soul Voice per fight is hardly a big deal. With Haste, Marches, and Haste Samba, people will be swinging faster than Hundred Fists assuming their gear is up to spec. Re-read the buffs he mentioned, though, 'cause I think you think he suggested all Bards blow Soul Voice at once. That's not the case.

Allows for 3 Kirin in a row, longest part being waiting on Troubadour.

I guess nobody really try to answer the question but then trying to tell others how they dun require 2hr on kirin etc etc which we already know 2 years ago.

"what's needed for 100% kill rate on a kirin zerg?"

[sruon]

And the question was answered, quit PMSing.

I'm wondering about the Katana TotM trials...will Blade: Ku with the +10% Katana make Blade: Ku overtake Blade: Jin for damage as the level cap increases?

I'm not sure why it would, but basically I'm trying to decide between +10% Blade: Ku and Store TP+8.

Reinstalled FF and Windower but whenever I hit play it opens the FFXI screen then instantly cancels it and brings me back to the play screen, no errors or anything. Anyone know why?

Edit: Derp nvm had an extra 0 in the background res

As a Footwork/Poise Shoes monk, what's better: Using Denali Head/Byakko Pants (26% Haste) or Turban/Usu Pants (25% Haste) for TP?

Assuming of course, that I can't get ahold of a Brisk Mask at the moment.

What night said, but keep in mind h2h scales better w/ level than footwork. Even if 2-3 becomes 2-4, if 2 kicks/round isnt fixed footwork dies next update unless a really powerful pair of shoes comes out. If poise is still best next update, footwork falls behind. If not, poise are still not helpin you.

Sell while you can, will be outdated in a month

so I finally decided to buy abyssea, but I realized that there's just so much shit to do with it. As a main dnc/pup, what should I prioritize? Are there quests/atmas/abyssites that I need to worry about getting done before trying to farm?
