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

[Nightfyre]

Recommendations for Aquans in fire weather? 2 kills left on this trial and I'd like to be done before Firesday so I can get on the next trial immediately. Teriggan's a bust, spent the past few hours there and no fire weather at all. Trying Kuftal now, just wondering if there's a better option.

Doing 2-3 Ursine Claws, have 3 MNKs and 2 RDM PLs. Where would be the most time efficient places to do these trials? I'm trying to think of camps where we won't have a lot of down time.

Trial 76 400 lizard - Abyssea-Konschtat ideally, but other than that maybe VoS?
Trial 77 300 puks - Mamool Ja Staging Point
Trial 79 500 vermin - Ladybugs in Jugner S
Trial 80 600 birds - Leypoint
Trial 81 400 gnoles - Abyssea-La theine/Jugner S
Trial 1143 600 undead - Gustuv Tunnel
Trial 1144 450 apkallu - Arrapago Reef.

Any places that would be more ideal than these? I really just wanna get the shit done cause I'm tired of doing trials

Lizards-Cape Terrigan
Puks-lvl60 Puk camp S of Wajaom
Vermin-Bees in Wajaom
Birds-Leypoint
Gnoles-Batallia S in the W side
Undead-Eldieme drop B or C

Bhaflau Thickets just outside Whitegate can be good for Vermin if you can catch a party/alliance doing spiders on Windsday. I did a couple of times and it went very fast.

Trial 77 300 puks - Mamool Ja Staging Point
Trial 79 500 vermin - Ladybugs in Jugner S

I think there are too few at the staging point for it to be worth it. Go to Wajaom G-12 around and roam there. There are like 3 in the west room, 4 in the hallway and another 4 in the east room. Just keep cycling those should be faster than staging point.


For Vermin also go Wajaom go to G-6 and clear out the 9 spawn in the 3 hives. Now roam back east into the next room and clear all the Spiders. Keep going further east to I-6 and another hivecluster with 9 Bees will be there. Clear those out and start the cycle new.

Would Teal Saio ever out do Genie Weskit?

Good info, thanks guys.

Is the drop rate for regular relic higher in CoP dynamis than city zones?

Is the drop rate for regular relic higher in CoP dynamis than city zones?

Definitely feels that way, but I wouldn't know for sure.

Also, I think the NMs in Buburimu which correspond with each job have a pretty good chance of dropping their relic.

[Thorny]

Definitely feels that way, but I wouldn't know for sure.

~35% vs ~5%.. have you done dynamis?

Mount Z isn't too bad. Just watch out for Apkallu on the way to the crabs; they're probably super-pissed right now.

With Mithrapride apparently dead, anyone know of a way of predicting the current race schedule for the weekly chocobo XP scroll quest?

Obviously the drop rate is much higher in CoP Dynamis, but 35%? Are you sure? If that was the case wouldn't getting no AF en route to Nant'ina be statistically very unlikely? I know I've seen that happen at least a couple of times.

I could backparse it, I don't think it's any lower than 25%. I can think of one time I saw none otw to Nant'ina, but also can't think of a time I went through the quadav by the kraken NM in qufim without getting at least 6-8 AF.

[FailureMidgard]

35% sounds accurate to me...see 3-6 AF from 1 pull regularly. Coins are forced out of the pool insanely fast. We just did Valkurm tonight, and had the usual trend, very unlikely to see less than 3 AF in the pool at any given time during city mobs.

Someone should probably mirror mithrapride's various clock scripts for all their features like this that aren't found in other places. The wayback machine has the whole thing archived.

Where are the apkallus in arrapago? How can I get there (especially with Astral Candy missing).

[rog]

No self healing so it seems kind of useless unless you're doing kite solos.

Dancer's roll?

[Scritch]

Dancer's Roll is like Lv.64. Too lazy to look up the exact level, but its too high to be subbed even at 99.

[rog]

I suppose this is why i should read everything, and not just glance over, see QD, and solo, and not read the rest.

[Mazmaz]

I'm at some apkallu camp in arrapago, but there's only like 4-5 spawns. Wiki says there's 25 spawns in the zone. Is there a better camp?
