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

Should be in new version http://forums.windower.net/topic/115...icons-6232010/

Which DATs are just the icons? Can't say I'm interested in other fonts or button GUI tweaks.

Byrthnoth - he's skilling COR marksmanship. B skill. Should still get skillups on JoF etc. since 285 was my Marksmanship cap at RNG75 with merits, no torque.

It's not based on A B C D E etc, it's directly based on your level.

Wiki says JoFortiude is lv 79, that means w/e your marksmanship is as a lv 79 cor is how high your marksmanship can get off of it.

Let's say your sword caps at 200 at lv 85 and you're 199, fortitude won't give you anything.

Edit: beaten.

When has skill rating had anything to do with it? If he's trying to cap skill at 85, he'll need a lv.85+ mob.

Also, 75 A- caps at 269 before merits, which is what matters.

[Cream Soda]

Rule of thumb: If it's not at minimum even match, then you can't cap skill on it.

[Byrthnoth]

Yar, that. DNC's Dagger skill is B-ish too, but only the boss gave skill.

You skill up to your skill cap for the monster's level. In order to skill up to your 85 cap, you need to fight 85 monsters or higher. Ideally much higher if you have the Acc, in my experience. New-Abyssea areas are probably the place to go.

I don't know what level Blazedrakes are, but I don't think anyone will seriously suggest that you try to skill up on them solo, even with Martial Master.

I see - learn something new every day huh? Thanks for clearing it up

Is that 5 kills for 1 glitch still working for some magians? Cause some bitch here would rather compete than team up. (though i'm mnk and she's smn so lolher)

[Byrthnoth]

It seems to not be a glitch and it also seems the original posts about it were a little misleading and one theorycrafting post looked like a statement. The number of people in your party don't matter at all (in my experience). If weather matches your weapon conditions, you'll get credit for 5 kills instead of 1.

I was in a party of 3 at the top of the tree crest hunting, and when the weather turned to Thunder we'd wipe out some rabbits for my Dex/Acc dagger. 5 points every kill. It's still 1 point per kill all the time for non-elemental paths (like the OA2-3). Still, getting a 300-kill trial done in 60 kills (54 of which were in a party) was pretty badass.

[Cream Soda]

was gonna GM her for exploiting, cause her taking of my mobs is pissing me off.

[Byrthnoth]

Well, there's still absolutely no reason for her to refuse to party with you. On the off-chance she's doing a Pet Attack staff and needs pet kills, you could just swap targets and let her pet kill it <_<. She's just being dumb.

[arus2001]

Twats who don't wanna group seem all too common on my magian runs, and they're not doing pet kills.

[Byrthnoth]

I find using incredibly goofy faces and using autotranslate to say that a short time is fine gets me JP invites. Just food for thought.

Something like:
"(/^,^)/ {Hello!}{Arcana killer}{Team up?}{A short time is alright} \(^.^\)"
I forget exactly what the {Short time} autotranslate I normally use is, but there's a pretty accurate one. Generally, if I just show up and start raping their mobs they'll invite me too. Speaking of Autotranslate, is anyone else pissed that the new areas (or Abyssea in general) don't have Autotranslate names? I'd settle for freaking {Abyssea}.

Skill rank is part of skiling up before cap though. You may not be able to cap your skill on a dc mob, but you can skill it up to a certain point, which is based entirely on your rank.

It's entirely level based. Skill rank has 0 to do with it.

If you're lv 85 and let's say you have a EP lv 70 monster. Yes you can get skill ups, but only to w/e your skill caps for lv 70. The rank has nothing to do with it, it's entirely the mob level vs your level.

[rog]

but only to w/e your skill caps for lv 70.

...exactly?

"Just for a short time is fine"? I should try that too, they're mostly good about teaming up here but sometimes they won't reply or anything.

Threw me off w/ that then if you were just agreeing w/ what I was saying. I thought you were saying diff.

[Sin Harvest]

Level 85 is amazing, how does a mnk and a brd do against Jailer of faith you think.....

[Cream Soda]

I personally don't think that's enough healing brd/mage. I'd say bring a third.
