Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

[rog]

Rog, I apologize if you have posted it before, but I can't find it.

Did you ever fix 57.dat for Pennant and Animus Augeo?

Nope, forgot all about it.

Fixed the two animus, pennant, and some subtle blow+, that i've never heard of.

[Maguile]

Is Bale Choker a 100% drop like wiki says? And what low-man setups strats could kill it?

^^^

[Rehn]

Is any JSE not 100% for the new add-on? I'd assume 100% just by looking at every other scars accessory out there.

[ronin sparthos]

No mobs gives pearl 100%. Stop making things up.

This.

But some mobs have higher pearl rates than others. Ab'xzomit for example have an abysmal conversion rate on pearl lights.

I have a question. I am trying to update my billing information and i keep on getting an error: The server is too busy or your card information is wrong. Now, I have talked to my credit card company and they are letting it through, but it seems with the secure visa/mastercard thing, SE is sending to them is wrong. I have reset my sercure ID a few times, and I know I am inputting it correctly(no caps on, etc). Has anyone had this problem before and know of a fix? And of course its a weekend so SE is not open lol...

[Khajit]

I'd still check capitalization. My info has to have all capitals simply because that's the style used on my address info by the bank. SE is VERY anal about punctuation.

[JamesBlunt]

Ya, I have made sure everything is exact like my bill statements lol still nothing =/ stupid anal SE

Any suggestions for a good Magian weapon for pup? I have ursine claws +1 but I'm looking for something to benefit the automaton, and I am very versatile frame wise. What will give me the best bang for my buck while using any automaton?

Cheers!

Get the Pet matk. claws. The lvl 85 version have matk +9, so that'll help significantly whenever you solo or DAD nuke things. Beyond that, I'd get the pet acc ones if you need valoredge ever, since i find his acc still sucks.

Anyone else having trouble getting bugbear strongman to pop? been almost 2.5 fucking days since he spawned.......................

[Thorny]

Has anyone had an issue with the pax grip triggering an intimidation? That's the only thing I changed about my gear tonight, and I was seeing a lot of intimidation while healing a monk in my group. He used bison steak at least once that I saw, and according to wiki it has Lizard Killer.

Throw out the mamool ja earring and buy a celestial.

Any truth to the rumor that killing Mimics in Scar Zones yields 1 AF3 Base Feet, 100% of the time?

If so, how tough are they with a balanced party? I've popped two mimics solo, and got murdered both times... One spammed Comet and Meteor, and the other attacked me for ~300-400 a hit at very low delay.

[Thorny]

Never even heard of it, though it sounds interesting. Maybe I'll give it a shot later.

[Aurara]

Idk, i killed a mimic in chasm and didnt get af3 feet chest...

[Francisco]

What's the fastest way to start getting AF3 Feet in terms of what lights to cap first? Once the necessary lights are capped, about how frequently will you start getting AF3 Feet to drop?

Is it possible (and effective) to farm AF3 feet and keep TEs coming in, or will going for TEs nerf the rate of AF3 chests?

[Aurara]

Azure>pearle>amber>kill mobs that dont give ruby>get af3

[Francisco]

Azure>pearle>amber>kill mobs that dont give ruby>get af3

Any idea how many kills of each light to cap in Attohwa?

I get pretty much all the killshots on mobs that aren't Amber/Azure kills, and I have:

1x Fortune abyssite (more chests)
2x Kismet abyssties (better blue chests)
2x Prosperity abyssites (better red chests)

Thanks!

We killed ~4-5 Emph mobs with Azure, 1 with ruby (Accident; stupid SAMs), and 2 Pearl. For some reason, Pearl does not trigger as easily as Azure (And I'm assuming Ruby too). When you find the set of mobs you want to kill (As Aurara says, find a mob that does not give ruby, but does grant Azure/Pearl/Amber), start working on pearl lights while killing Emph mobs as they appear. If none pop within the vicinity, I highly recommend sending the bard out to look for one. We were at Vunkerl, so we used Murex and killed the Emph Murex that pops there. Once you cap pearl, build up time before changing to amber/azure kills. Even when you do amber kills, be sure to mix it up with some azure kills as well. A common mistake for most groups is that they'll switch to amber at ~100min and do NOTHING but amber/pearl. This is problematic since when you start to need TE, you'll become overrun with amber chests. I was BLU for my last farming session (5hrs), so I managed to switch between amber/azure kills quite easily. If you find any emph mobs while fighting, kill with amber (2 Amber kills on them should be enough).

Our last run gave us:
SMN 2x
COR2x
DRG
SAM3x
BLU2x
SCH 2x
NIN2-3x
PUP3x
A bunch of shitty Diamond rings (lolmnd!)
lolgules
lollore

Needless to say, our DNC was pissed (But he did get BLU feet).

[Aurara]

Yeah, be sure to get at LEAST 180 minutes before doing amber kills, otherwise time is scarce.

lolwut?


Really the trick is to just build azure+pearl+amber, then cleave burn. Can get 2-4 per hour pretty easily, with 10ish people. Obviously make sure you fight something that doesn't give ruby.
