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

[Alistaire]

I know job traits don't stack from sub but had heard a tier 2 from sub would add 1 to the main's trait. I don't even remember what this was in reference to, was ages ago, and now that I think of it I have no idea where it'd apply, but it struck me today, would nin/dnc get extra DW from the /dnc having DW2?

No.

I don't get why people would use a password they'd never remember...the second I get an email in game I need to log out and check it (mid party, mid event, I don't give a fuck), that blinking in the top corner is so damn annoying.

6 years is a looooong time to remember a scarcely used password.

How much HP do Jorm/Vrtra/Tiamat have approximately?

[Deader2818]

Whats the lowest ammount/setup you would use to decently farm Dynamis-Dunes? Would like to try and +1 my RDM hat.

[Byrthnoth]

Dunes is a tricky subject. Obviously it is more profitable to go ftw, but unless you're pulling the kind of firepower that can gank CC right after sub job unlock, you are looking at spending almost 50 minutes doing bullshit non-nightmare killing hunting nms to weaken her.
The other option is to go with a party or less and farm nightmare mobs from the start, leave after an hour. I would do the latter, as it is much easier. BRD, DD x2, THF, RDM, BLM or second buffer optional. Pull the flies asap and kill them one at a time (they sleep). Then go farm manticores and hippogryphs.

reasking about kindred seals and beastmen seals dropping from abyssea. i haven't seen anything but crests drop since the patch, has anyone else?

[Byrthnoth]

Kindred crests seem to share the seal slot for dropping. I am pretty sure I have seen seals drop in abyssea post-update, but I also know I have over 40 crests now.

[LinktheDeme]

Does not share with kuftal/Terrigan. Fire weather is extremely rare pretty much everywhere though so GL.

Does the fire weather occur even if the people don't predict it without the heat wave/heat storm/ whatever.

I see it say occasional sunshine or sunny, wondering if those have a chance really at the weather or if those just mean its nothing.

Or if it mean that its going to be nothing and fire weather can still occur regardless?

Weather can occur regardless, but if it does it'll be short and probably not worth sitting around waiting for.

Anyone know how the ring is calculated? Certainly isnt after everything otherwise ring damage would be almost 40 dmg higher.

Why would you care to +1 it? The only reason to waste currency on it if you already have the -1 really is the whitebox. How often do you really cast mnd enfeebles in chapeau now? personally, i don't even have a macro to equip a staff for slow/para anymore. I can't imagine why you'd need to use chapeau on anything now.

[Davricle]

What is the cap to Magic Damage Taken - and Physical Damage Taken -, but I'm not sure what it is. I know I have heard someone mention that with Aegis and Shell 5, you are capped on MDT-, is that true?

Also, how does Magic Defense Bonus factor in exactly, and does that have a cap as well?

[Fereydoon]

I wanna say they both cap at -50%. At least I'm sure PDT does. And iirc if you're capped on MDT, MDB will still lower damage. So cap MDT then stack MDB in any other slots.

[fredjanx]

Can the key item for the quest "Wanted:Medical Supplies" be obtained in any Scars zones? or just Misareaux?

[rog]

Yeah -dt caps at -50%. mdb doesn't cap. Mdb is factored in at the same time mab is, with mab/mdb.

[Darkmagi]

50% on both and MDB does not cap.

[Gun-it]

Anyone know what the Unkai Haidate +1 and +2 do to hasso?
Looked at the thread about it but didn' t really feel like going through all the pages.

Funny, I recall asking of a good start to farm Dyna-Dunes, not what you think of RDM Relic+1 hat.

Personal goal, etc. If you must know. Just one of those things I always wanted.

Oh, sorry i didn't know i wasn't allowed to be curious about why you would waste your time/gil, and your friends' time/gil trying to get that.
