Random Question Thread XIII: If You Get Linked Here, You're Retarded

[Wakabo]

Simple question I hope.

Where the fuck does brooder pop.

Swear i rested the whole zone.

[Nightfyre]

Usually around the birds, seen him a bit north of there and as far east as the Psychopomp though.

[Wakabo]

Eh just roughly checked both, not up I guess?

[chazzyphizzle]

If your abyssite emits no light then yes, it's not up.

[Wakabo]

Wow that helps a ton, would of saved me 30 mins running around the zone. Thanks.

Got 2 pops for brooder thought so worth the time in there though.

[Eldelphia]

soo i lost my token... and i want to register my ffxiv code, what do i do?!

Ring up square enix

[Nightfyre]

Any decent lowman strats for Usurper? Have a variety of jobs available, any suggestion is appreciated.

Check the Tahrongi thread, been posted at least twice. Basic gist of the easy version is Fanatic's Powder or PD zerg with 3-4 DD, BRD DNC etc, but a group that can survive Impalement potentially one-shotting somebody and the general nastiness of BW can take him down as well.

[chazzyphizzle]

Do fanatics drinks not negate all physical damage in abyssea? Myself and a friend have used them and continue getting hit for normal damage, maybe reduced a little bit. If the description on the item says "reduced damage" or something that isn't "Negates all physical damage for a short time", my fault, becase I haven't actually read the description before using. Have never used a fanatics powder.

Fanatic's drink seems to boost your PDT (-50%?, I haven't really tested it yet) whereas powders give -100% PDT. Fool's Powder makes you fully resist all spells. I'm not sure about the drink, although it will probably be the same as Fanatic's.

[Dooom]

Dispelga.

Also Dread Spikes, intimidate effects, adds, and Zantetsuken. Definitely not a zerg-friendly fight.

Good luck getting Brooder on Bahamut, friggin thing is camped hardcore around the clock

[Wakabo]

Damn you ;/ I was getting my hopes up after getting 2 pops for it. Is the quickest way to check if it's up just to zone in and rest real quick and leave if it doesn't give off light?

[Chen]

you'd literally be better off using Destroyers than Afflictors. He was trying to justify spending as little time as possible and, thus, wanted to avoid Magian trials..

first off want to be clear that i don't give a shit about mnk.

but i remember the last time someone said "destroyers are better than afflictors" there was a serious amount of backpedaling and "THAT NOT WHAT I MENT" i don't know who posted versus neo on the other side but it came up something like this.

destroyers worst.
completed tiapan beat afflictors nearly all the time, but it wasn't a huge difference
???
trolling
nerdrage
someone probably got banned
conclusion: suck it up, do the tiapans.

if you stumble on afflictor, use them over destroyers.

& yes to your last point Onorgul: not magianable, gonna be junk compared to easy magians @ 85.

Zone in, get visitant, rest - if you get "No monsters in the area." Brooder is not up - having T1 or T3 pops ruins this though. I usually did conflux 2 > 3 > 8 when looking for mine. It can spawn pretty far away from conflux 2 to the north, north-east though so you have to walk out a bit.

Yah pretty much. You need visitant status to check.

[Wakabo]

Yeah just did it to test it out and not up This taru and my taru friend are sadden.

I mustve completely missed it, but how long has Ovni been discovered for, because only recently did I start to see bullwhip belt appearing in drop threads etc, is he a hard fight, does he have spawn requirements other than wiki simply saying 90-120 minute repop?

[Priran]

Can someone PM me how to download the update before the "check version" button goes up? I'd like to start .dat mining before a majority of the cool shit has already been found.

[Not Kuno]

Anyone ever figure out why chatmon eats up tells that just have numbers or symbols? I asked a while ago/made a thread but people said it was my blocklist.txt or whatever but I don't see how that can be possible. It's really gay and I have no idea why it does this. D:

Maybe two weeksish? It's an annoying fight if you happen to find him in -DT mode (Means someone failed to kill him earlier) in which case your best bet isto throw cors at it for QD damage. Other wise it's not too hard just dispel Boost quickly as it makes his tp moves pretty painful, and he uses Invincible every three minutes, I think, after which he gains some -DT. Too many invincibles and the only way you can really damage him is DoT's or QD. And he doesn't have any odd spawn requirements, 90-120 min repop, he just floats around his spawn location like any other ufo. Aggros as such.
