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

Would Teal Saio ever out do Genie Weskit?

Well if you assume dINT is such that you get the 1:1 magic accuracy benefit from INT, teal is 4 macc over genie. I know adding a given amount of MAB increases damage less if you already have a larger MAB (so +10 when you have 0 increases damage more than when you have 100) and presumably there's a point where the +3 MAB is beaten by the +6 INT.
Can't do the number crunching for you though =(

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?

There's 9-10 (never did get an exact count) apkallu right next to the boat where you deal with the pup job quest (I-10 on map 1). Pretty much right next to the zone from Caedarva Mire, from the Azouph Staging Point side. A single person should be able to kill at roughly right at the respawn rate for the mobs there. Two people will have some downtime.

Pretty sure I've already read the answer to this, but for my own mental sake..

If you have no B.Haidate (new char, no sky ls, etc) would Perle's 19% haste be better than a 15% traditional setup (W.turban, fumas, dusk, etc)? I'm 4/5 STP merits (since I hit 75 last night) so a 6-hit isn't really do-able without wearing Shini haidate and I'm not sure the 4% haste is worth sacrificing.

[rog]

Short answer: get kitty pants, and your last stp merit

long answer: use the mixed set with a 6hit until you can get a 6hit with full perle, then use that until you get kitty pants.

[Thorny]

I'll sell you a pair of kitty pants for 5m :C

Only need one set: any daggers, with full acc gear, so you don't miss and lose haste daze.

Max Haste set puts you at 27% unless you switch to Brisk Mask. The odds of any one person obtaining all these unfound items is very low though.

*genie v teal*

Well if you assume dINT is such that you get the 1:1 magic accuracy benefit from INT, teal is 4 macc over genie. I know adding a given amount of MAB increases damage less if you already have a larger MAB (so +10 when you have 0 increases damage more than when you have 100) and presumably there's a point where the +3 MAB is beaten by the +6 INT.
Can't do the number crunching for you though =(

just use teal, it's always going to be better i think, it's not a mind blowing difference. but teal is cheaper, so why not.

to elaborate, it's basicall 3MaB v 6INT, when hecates cape came out, it was 3MaB v 5INT(ixion/gleemans) and it was found that hecates very rarely won this difference is bigger.

Why does Tuesday mean Firesday for JPs?

[Priran]

Why does Tuesday mean Firesday for JPs?

Because it literally is. Sunday and monday are the same in both languages but the rest are named after the 5 chinese elements (see: the hakutaku eyes). In english 4 are named after norse deities and 1 for a roman god.

[Pharaun]

Becuase Tuesday in Japanese uses the Kanji for Fire.

Edit - Fuck, beaten. And with a better explanation too...

[Kyte]

What are the other elemental day-equivalences then?

[Priran]

wednesday is watersday and saturday is earthsday

[Pharaun]

Thursday is woodsday, and Friday is metalsday/goldsday depending on how you translate it.
