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

[Diddy Kong]

last time i played was 2006.

do people still kill all the 2nd/3rd tier original stuff that used to be camped every day, or is it pretty much up all the time now because no one kills it? for example:
beastman kings (adamantking, tzee xicu manifest)
roc, simurgh
cassie, vivian
other stuff like that i can't remember?

i assume people still camp behemoth/fafnir/adamantoise because they are easier to get to or the rewards are much greater

this is just interesting to me because we spent so much time back in the early days camping these, they were a huge part of the game for a lot of us. it would be kind of sad and ironic to think they are just sitting up waiting to be claimed all the time now

Simurgh is still camped to some extent, Roc is usually up. Usually a few duo/trio camp the rest of the stuff you listed, but it's not heavily camped like it used to be.

pretty failproof, but whms needs to be alert on stonas and on slowgas(erase+haste).

acc+eva roll is nice on mnk

preferrably dont use taru mnk for it.

Does the evasion make a difference at all?

Beastmen Kings are almost always up. Not a time were I have gone to the top of Oztroja and didn't see manifest just sitting there. Roc not camped all that much due to Trial of the Magians being the best cure staves, but won't last for weeks on end without being killed. Simurgh will usually die within a few hours, or just straight camped by a 3-6 man group. King Arthro is the most heavily camped out of the old 2006 NMs. Behemoth/Fafnir/Adamantoise is still camped like normal, especially during 3 day or higher.

And to the above question. I believe Kaiten is a STP+8 effect.

We do it like this. As long as your mages are on the ball it's pretty smooth. Just make sure they are paying attention and the cureV or stona lands immediately after the stonega or breakga, and the thf and rdm handle the erase + haste combo quickly. With shellraV nothing should break 1000 damage, so the only real risk is if you take a stonega -> vertical cleave combo. This was at level 75, and I really don't recommend using your second support job on evasion buffs. Use minuets or DD rolls to speed the fight up. The longer you drag it out the more likely that stonega+cleave combo is going to happen, and the fight is easy without evading anything.

I'm pretty sure you can also duo him with a pair of rdms, but I think you have to use chainspell to get it down to manafont mode before he starts resisting gravity.

Tarasque Mitts come to mind, or Custom Hume if you're Hume.

Windower command mouse_blockinput 1 will work, but I hear it's buggy. Enabling hardware cursor will also help to some extent (in Final Fantasy XI Config).

Given the level increase, stona is now accessible as a SJ you probably attempt faith with as little as a MNK/NIN, RDM/WHM (or WHM/SCH or SCH), and BRD/WHM.

This would really depend on how much of a difference those 5 levels made as to whether or not you could sneak by with just a mage and bard (though still two stonas).

Could also have a DB'd THF/COR there that you could tab every 2.5 minutes to toss out hunter's or ninja's on the monk and then evoker's roll for the mages, which would also give you enough time for two QD charges. Wind shot might be able to break 300 on him though honestly no clue the accuracy of a THF's QD. IMO, /COR would provide more value than going /WHM or /SCH since evoker's would add another 100-200 MP per 5 minute block per person with MP, so potentially that 400 MP for your mage/bard could be enough to try with just mnk/mage/bard/DB-thf.

Also, how much does a monk evade on Faith anyways?

Is it too late at this point in the game to consider building a relic? With Trial of Magians introduced, it doesn't seem that Relics will be trumped ever. I'd like some opinions, is all. I can make maybe 3-4 mil a month. I wonder if the gil farming for relic or the hunting for currency would be tougher.

Leveling RDM, its at 49 now. What is a good order to buy staves in? I can't afford them all at the moment, but plan on it eventually.
