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

[Mercilessturtle]

I guess it would be good for Curing waltz IV and maybe Divine Waltz II, but I intend to use the MKE Waltz Recast -2 hat for Curing waltz III and Healing Waltz.

Even those you usually want the waltz delay. I just have a macro that sets a spellcast variable to turn on using the potency hat for my next waltz. I only use it for times when we're standing around waiting or something and I don't need the -delay.

Apparently there's an NPC in Abyssea which records which 'objectives' (quests?) you've done? Who is it in La Theine?

Since we're talking about gear here, I'm looking to improve my COR TP and WS sets.

TP:

Joyeuse/----/Martial/Steel
Turban/PCC/Brutal/Suppa
Antares/Dusk/Rajas/Iota
Foragers/Swift/Aurore/Enkidu's

Slug Shot:

Joyeuse/----/Martial/Steel
Maat's Cap/Light Gorget/Vision Earring/Triumph
Aurore/Blood/Rajas/Flame
Amemet+1/Buccaneers/Enkidu's/AF+1

Gonna pick up a Cuchulain's Mantle when I have the money for it, and I haven't seen Oberon's Bullets sold in stacks once so yeah. As for Slug Shot idk if I'd be better off WSing in Maat's Cap or Anwig Salad (RACC+10, WSACC+15), and what about Aurore vs Denali Jacket?

Since COR has a B- in Sword Skill and you are probably meleeing w/ Joy to build TP as quick as you can for WS, I'd focus on more accuracy and 'Store TP' in your TP build. The 3 main upgrades I'd suggest are Cuch Mantle (already stated), a high accuracy ring instead of Iota's, and Cobra Unit Harness. I'm not sure what the consensus is on Aurore Brais vs. Skadi's Chausses, but if the sTP on the Chausses eliminate an attack round to 100 TP, I'd use those for sure... but either are probably fine.

For Slug Shot, I recently swapped to Aurore Doublet from Denali Jacket and I think that's the way to go. AF2 Belt for sure if you can get it, and Behe Ring +1 instead of Flame if you need more Racc. I use Anwig, but perhaps Maat's is better if Racc isn't an issue... I wouldn't know.

Skadi's Cuirie could be a factor in both sets depending on if that's an option available to you.

Kind of a MMM noob. was hoping there could be a tablet I could create and dupe on mules to speed along my relic trial in my spare time.

What I need specifically is:

The maximum number of mobs possible. (Is there a combo that gives more than 24?)
Birds (Any kind (Family))
~2500 HPish (Enough for TP gain + WS, I assume I just need a mule to cap the maze level down to 56-ish?)

So I was thinking:
Level 56 mule
Bird Rune
Tiny Warrior (Smaller and More of them)
Trial by numbers
Maze Voucher 01: ST Alpha

Does this look right? Does one of the other teams yield more mobs?

[Onorgul]

Where is the best spot for 250 bombs(not Snolls/Clusters) for the last str/attack hand to hand trial?

Here's the loop that I used. Apologies for how crude this is.

try Sanitization Team Gamma

[Phraust]

try Sanitization Team Gamma

How many mobs are in gamma?

[ronin sparthos]

I would suggest against Gamma, the mobs there do not always pop as the family you specify. In fact, the family runes only up the chance you see the family you specify.

If you want, do Sanitation Team Beta, set the mobs to EP (Peon + Weakness) or take in a person low enough that mobs that con DC-T to them will con EP to you. When the maze starts, pick a corner and watch the mobs congregate in the middle while you pull as you see fit. You will get more mobs in Beta than in Alpha.

[Priran]

it varies but generally a lot more than alpha. it's 10 floors, and each floor has a random amount of mobs. otherwiki gives the range as 1-8 mobs.

[Phraust]

What's the Difference between Peon and Weakness? Otherwiki just regurgitates the description on the rune.

Asuming TornadoKick for WS - will Raja/Brutal/APC Body with 4 Store TP make Footwork a 6 hit build? Have to WS in the Body then I think? Anyone has some experience / math behind this?

[Aozora]

Question for fisherman about moghancement fishing. we all know that shall/trumpet shells are "half' items and that robber rig works very well for them. but im at lv.99 fishing and i fish a ton of trumpets, and i slowly stop being able to fish them up at around 30, then im forced to zone or catch 1 every 20 minutes. (ebisu rod + robber rig)

on top of that, there is a bot squad here (lu shang + robber) that never seem to soft fatigue, my question is, does the increased chance to catch items from moghancement fishing count for shells? also the bot squad all use fishermans apron which LOWERS chance of items. so im not sure which way to go. 7/10 times if its not a trumpet on the line, its a jellyfish

tl;dr where do trumpet shells stand with methods of raising/lowering catch rate of items. help or hurt

That's a 7 hit before WS, 5 hit after WS.

So I quit the game a while ago and recently came back. Before I quit I used to use the program GearMod2+ to change the way my character looked (without dat mods) and to give myself the GM flag. But when I went to Windower forums (where I got it from before I quit) I found that it had been discontinued.

Does anyone know if there's a program that does what this program used to do?

Just got THF to 75 thanks to LS letting me leech in Abyssea. Basically a TH for Salvage and shit. What's a good main hand dagger that will work while I offhand TK?

[Innuendo]

Blau if you have the gil. Magnet Knife if you don't.

[Dathus]

What about the Fusetto with Evis DMG+10%? Worth looking to doing while I break my Swordbreaker?

[Innuendo]

Well, I assumed you wouldn't want to bother with something as annoying as magians for simple TH whoring. That'd beat magnet hands down and probably beats blau (i'm not familiar with the maths or I'd number crunch for you.)
If you're gonna put the trial time in though you might want to do a STR Kila instead of the evisceration weapon since it'd be good for all WSes.

I guess M. kris would be best for breaking a weapon, but it's a bit expensive for getting mandalic stab =x

[Priran]

Do the WS trials count if the moogle weapon is in your offhand? Because the Swordbreaker won't.

[Nightfyre]

Magian trial weapons can be offhanded for credit, WS trials included.
