Random Question Thread XV: This Is Not The Sticky You're Looking For

[blackmail]

No.

Do items that have "in areas outside own nation's control:" take effect in areas outside of conquest all together? (Dynamis, ToAU, WoTG, WoE, Limbus, Sea)?

[chazzyphizzle]

no, well dynamis and CoP areas yeah, everything else no.

....face saved

[Clash Perez]

Dynamis yes, ToAU/WotG no. I can't recall if they work in Limbus/Sea, but I think they do.

[Nightfyre]

They work in CoP zones.

[SaviorSelf]

They follow a tree system. E.G. Trial 1 > trial 2 > trial 4 > trial 5> trial 9 etc.

So say you wanna end up with http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...ayhemplus1.jpg

You do trials 905, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 1774, 1775, 2243 in that order. After each trial go back to the moogle and get the next one, etc.

Jesus christ that's horrible D:

[Fereydoon]

If it helps the get progressively more annoying! Also that gun is amazingly easy (as are all ice paths[or eles that aren't fire or light]).

[arus2001]

Trials sound horrible in large lumps, but as something you can work on here and there, they're usually not too bad. Exceptions tend to arise when you get a shitty mob family like Soulflayers or Piestes, though. Relic holders probably hate trials in general, too.

Anyone picked up an Aizenkunitoshi and checked the (assumed) ftp Bonus on it for Katana Weapon Skills? Similar to Gorgets? More than? Less than?

Still holding out..

How much Store TP in gear is needed for 85 THF/NIN to achieve 5/hit, hate being left at 99tp all the time.

I main hand Auric Dagger and offhand THF Knife most of the time, Sirocco when I'm not TH-ing, and have Suppa.

Don't have Skadi legs. Current StP gear is: Belenos' Mantle, Brutal, Rajas.

thx

Try FFXI Calculator. Statistics tab to Delay tab; allows you to experiment with different combinations of delay/dual wield/store tp.

The gear you listed while using Auric/THF Knife will give you 5 TP per hit; the problem you're seeing is due to DE/Evisceration. If you want to compensate for the 14 TP you get after the WS, try TPing in an Ecphoria Ring. That should push you to/over 100, provided you land 5/6 hits of DE/Evisceration.

What are the windower //cancel ## for Utsusemi 1 & 2

[rog]

I assume you mean '5-round' instead of '5/hit'; you'll never 5-hit with daggers. Short of dual-wielding OAT/OAThrice and getting some lucky rounds or getting really lucky with Triple Attack, you won't get 5-round either.

Pretty sure he meant 5 tp/hit.

[rog]

What are the windower //cancel ## for Utsusemi 1 & 2

66 for 1 shadow, 444 for 2, 445 for 3, 446 for 4.

[Clash Perez]

Wow, yeah. How'd I miss that? Edited previous post.

[Falaras]

As someone who hasn't played much since the level 85 patch came out (still haven't done the limit break even) I've been reading about it being very easy to get a 5 hit at 85, I'm wondering what gear is generally used to achieve this and if its just kind of elite talk. I noticed that there is a +10% WS Damage Keito so I would be losing STP from my level 80 STP keito. AF3+1 doesn't seem easy to get but maybe I'm wrong, low percent rate of the seals and need 8, the quest turn in items cost like 70k on Asura? Although I can't imagine it being hard to use Carbonara anymore at least.

[Fallyn]

Ratio of macc to MND/INT for enfeebles?

[Buffy]

66 for 1 shadow, 444 for 2, 445 for 3, 446 for 4.

Apparently I need more information.

I'm finally leveling /nin for rdm and blm. I wanted to put a //cancel command in my utsusemi: Ichi macro, because I know that sometimes if you start casting utsusemi: Ichi while utsusemi: Ni still has a shadow up, and you don't lose that shadow by getting hit and you don't cancel it manually, then Ichi won't over-write Ni and your timers get jacked up.

I wanted to put a //cancel command in the macro to ensure that 1 remaining Ni shadow got canceled. Based on your response I should put //cancel 66 in my :Ichi macro in case there is a remaining :Ni shadow up? Do I understand correctly?

If you're keen on using Carbonara and the WS damage Keito, it can be done without Abyssea gear by TPing Usubody/Usufeet/Rose/Rajas/Brutal, with your choice of Ecphoria or W.Tathlum; WSing in Usubody/AF+1 legs/Hachifeet/Rajas/Brutal.

Abyssea gear (AF3+1, Goading Belt, Unkai neck, etc.) means fewer sacrifices in the sets, and more food options.
