Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

[Atoreis]

I want to make ACP body. Im kinda new in pet jobs scenerio. Will BST need pet: acc from this body? I was under impression that BST's pets those days have great accuracy even on HNMs and wanted to put pet: att and pet:mab/macc on this body (mix BST body for pet fights and nuke body for PUP). suggestions?

[Scrooge]

Chances are it repopped and you fought the new spawn. Depopping when the giant pops seems viable, but it'll be easy to test. Good info on the popping requirements though, been wondering about that for a while.

Perhaps. Doesn't change the fact that when we were all down it was still wandering around.

At any rate, like someone else just posted, I saw Cleaver die a few hours ago, and Yaanei did not pop right away. He did some time later (I didn't clock it), but felt like an hour'ish. If the Ironclads are linked to them, it may have to deal with windows, but Ironclad's death does not auto force pop Irathams right away.

Possibly been answered in a previous thread, but this was added recently on ffxiclopedia:

Hand-to-Hand Trials weapons which occasionally attack 2 to 3 times will NOT translate to feet resulting in kicking 2 to 3 times per attack round. Kicks under the effect of Footwork max out at 2 kicks per round.

True or false? Not played in a while, looking to upgrade out of destroyers and I know some were working on OA3 weapons for use with footwork, just checking before I spend the time and end up shooting myself in the foot (no pun intended) for upgrading the wrong weapon.

Edit: Seems I misread it, OA3 weapons do still stack with footwork but out of curiosity I would still like confirmation weather you can kick 3 times in one round with an OA3 weapon.

[rog]

Yes, if a 3x procs you'll only get 2 attacks. oa3 was good at 80, but not so much anymore. I believe the consensus is the str/atk ones.

[Nightfyre]

True, but they proc significantly more often than the OAT with Footwork up (unexpected proc mechanics under FW give a ~70% apparent DA rate with OA2-3). Last I heard standard H2H surpassed Footwork again this update, but I haven't seen any numbers involving AF3+2 feet.

Any new/best bow for SAM since past updates? Just looks like fun having a sam/rng spam with the new occ 2-5 spear.

Can I help a friend with the Fenrir Prime fight if I don't have a Moon Bauble, haven't done the quests, or even have any of the other avatars? Or do I need a Moon Bauble to enter the fight?

99.9% sure you need bauble to enter.

You'd need the distribution before you can conclude it's better than Soboro for TP gain/spamming. Soboro is pretty easy 5-hit material these days with Bow WS return and 2-hits to 2-hits is the most likely occurrence because its distribution is 30/50/20.

This spear would need to average 2.78 attacks per round to equal Soboro's lolDPS on non-piercing weak mobs (or 2.23 on piercing weak mobs assuming equal or irrelevant attack). Keep in mind that K-club only averages a little over 3/round. Its benefit is that you can probably 6-hit it with Bow WS return (10.2 TP base), which means that any time you get a 5-hit attack round you should have 100TP immediately again. It is hard to say whether or not it is better until someone posts the distribution, but I wouldn't go blowing millions on it on speculation.

3.82 isn't really "a little over 3".

[Byrthnoth]

3.82 isn't really "a little over 3".

n of 100 with a 1-8 weapon isn't really very exact, which is all that we're going on. Over 3 is over 3.

[rog]

There's a fairly decent difference between "a little over 3" and "a little under 4".

If you want to help someone with the final battle of a mini-expansion, but already have the augmented body/legs/head in your inventory without going through the method to replace it, do you lose the Omnis Stone, Mega Bonanza Kupon, or Hexes?

I'm thinking you do, but I want to make sure.

[Byrthnoth]

You don't need the Hexes to help with the fight (you will get the bonuses of the person with the least Hexes), but you don't get an augmented item reward or ability to change your armor unless you have them. If you do have the Stone/Hexes/Kupon, you will get an augmented item key (and another key for the armor if you dropped it pre-fight) but lose the Stone/Hexes/Kupon.

Blitzers roll and what for kclub drk?

[Merlincloud]

Most likely Im posting this in wrong spot but the New Search feature hates me and I cant find what Im looking for; I need the phone number to Final Fantasy Support because all they have is web based support and with out all the info I can even submit the forum to have them help me. I have looked all around there support site but since they changed it they have removed all the phone numbers and was wondering if anyone still had them so I might be able to call and tell them what happened so I could get my account back.

I just bought ffxi ultimate collection on steam to get 4 expansions, but I think it gave me an european version one and my ffxi is american.

Does anyone happen to have a spare wotg key sitting at home that wouldn't mind offering me?
I'm pretty desperate, thanks in advance.
