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

[Kegsay]

What I'm proposing for Summoner merits:
5 PAT (or P/MAcc?)
5 MAB
5 Geocrush
5 Wind Blade


My Summoner will never have skill merits and may never get Relic gloves. Should I go with Physical Attack, Physical Accuracy, or just go with Magical Accuracy? I'm a fan of a Stun BP, and I'm a fan of Garuda due to the the Perp- hat. I'm not a hardcore summoner, as you can probably see, and I doubt I'll ever get the Shiva shoes.

I'd say go for 5 MAB, 5 MACC, 5 <Geo or Wind>, then 1 in all the other merit BPs. That gives you one powerful BP and the versatility of different elements should the need arise.

I've got no problem with Nyzul or Assault, just with them sharing tags for access :/

edit:

Yeah, I was looking at the body, but I wasn't how the 4macc and 6int measured up to weskit's 1 extra MAB, 5 elemental skill and +2 CMP. Thanks

4 macc and 6 INT is 7-10 macc and 6 INT easily outweights 1 MAB.

Achievements from left menu >> top of page 2 options:
- Top Linkshells Overall
- Top Linkshells by Server

or click the number in brackets after LS name when looking at the member list.

It's not that, that is ls vs other lses. I meant different scores within the same ls. There used to be a way to view that and I can't find it anymore.

Can Perfect Counter actually proc. more than once?

From a couple tests without counterstance up I've assumed:
- it doesn't wear off if counter proc.s normally
- still has an accuracy check and
- can only proc. once

@ what teal to use:

head/body/legs.

What's the verdict on the best trial staff to enhance drain/aspir? Dark MACC or Dark MDMG? I know MAB/INT play no factor in adding dmg, but I'm not sure if the MDMG will act like Anrin obi?

What's the repop timer on mobs, specifically Ignidrakes, in Riverne Site B01?

[Scritch]

Just out of curiosity

Hojo/Jubaku/etc, do they use MND to determine potency like Slow/Paralyze, or are they set %s, or what?

Edit: Repop for mobs in dungeons (Ignidrakes) should be 16 minutes unless Riverne is special.

They're static effects. Hojo2 is 20% slow (worse than slow1). Kurayami1 is -20 acc, kurayami2 is -30 acc (both are same as blind/blind2 cap).

Interesting. Thanks.

i want to edit the icons dat to move the numbers on the utsusemi and finishing moves icons to the top, so i can see them when using statustimer. i can get the existing images out using polutils (and then edit with gimp/photoshop) but how do i put the modified images back into the dat? i cant see how it's done with polutils, if that is even the right tool.

Faranim's icon changer, which i have reuploaded here, since the site he had it on died.

[Falaras]

Assuming no Usukane, best way to get a 5 hit with Tomoe? Also not wasting ACP body.

Seems like a lot less work to just move Statustimer's position.

setpos x[ y]
setposx x
setposy y

In your init.txt after loading Statustimer.

Should I sell my Scorpion Harness+1 and get a Aurore Doublet for soloing?

How much acc is needed for Salvage bosses to cap?

What's the recommended salvage to do for a new group?

[Katoke]

Any matholomoticians for the effect of "Enhances effect of "Snapshot"." on Aurore Beret?

[Yugl]

Use shield for this fight imo. I'm not a BLU expert and Caiti is asleep, but my money is on needing a ridiculous amount of DEF to maximize your damage on Yilb.

Also, what is better for neck? Last I knew Auditory was best in the game?

I tend to use Vulcans + Brave Grip (5 STR 3% DMG), and that makes up for the DEF (Unless I'm TPing mobs in between). For neckpiece I'm using Ire Torque (STR+6).

50 stp if you assume 3/4 penta lands. Rajas, Brutal, Rose, Wtath, Ecphoria, Chiv, and WSing in hachiman kote/sune-ate would work. Alternatively, if you don't feel like dumping that gil or can spare the acc, askar korazin/rajas/rose during tp and hachiman gloves/rajas during ws.

Assuming no Usukane, best way to get a 5 hit with Tomoe? Also not wasting ACP body.

Step one. enter salvage
Step 2. grab rose strap, white tathlum, brutal, askar and rajas. Chiv chain, ecphoria, hoard ring etc can work as stp substitutes assuming you dont have the new belts, backs, or head or you are still 75.

Is there any auto-translate people are using in their search message to say Abyssea only? I can't get abyssea, vision of abyssea, or abyssea - tahrongi, etc to translate.
