Abyssea Triggers

Hey I have been reading up on alot of triggers for abyssea NMs and im still a little iffy on the blue triggers.

So my question is if you are looking for a specific time to pop the nm and you popped it @ 14:00 would you count 2 catagories or just the one?

if you mean you popped it at exactly 14:00 I would assume it would still be piercing, the slashing period probably begins a few seconds after 14:00, due to server lag or some such. The correct proc can only be one ws, never two.

Not sure if any hard research has been done to learn if Slashing Weapon Skills "start" at 14:00 or 14:01 on the game clock.

I'd say the smart thing to do would be to just wait until 14:02 before you trade your pop item(s) to the spawn point.

If we're low manning something and triggering blue, we wait until 7:00 instead of 6:00 for piercing, 15:00 instead of 14:00 for slashing etc. (or whatever the times are). We ran into issues way back when we would pop/claim an NM in the time it was supposed to be piercing, and then go through every single piercing ws multiple times without a proc. I'm not sure when the time actually changes, I'd actually guess it's more like 6:30 or so. It's not as big an issue now with abyssite that tells you what weapon will proc it, but when we're low manning, especially something like shinryu or Rani, it pays to be 100% sure it will be on the mode you want.

7:00 is piercing start, definitely.

is a little server lag, example is NIN af feet not taking effect untill 5-10 after start time


if u pop right at 1400 someone with abyssite would still most likely get a peircing blue, would wait till 15-20 after to be sure even tho 1400-2200 is slash

There's no server lag for getting CS's after game day change though, so I'm not sure why there'd be any server lag for weakness trigger, especially since both the time and trigger are server-side. NIN boots are part client side, your speed is client-side (hence why speed hacks work), and the time would be server-side. I would say that 14:00 is slashing, 13:59 is piercing.

Ok cool thanks for answering my question, i was a little uncertain because wikik tends to be wrong on some things so i wanted to get an opinion on it.

Thanks for the info :)

Just personally encountered this scenario myself. Iron giant popped 14:00 and aggro'd immediately. Was slashing weakness (scythe).

Nice thats awesome and great to know ill pass it on to further event stratagies

Why did raen got rated down? lol
Blunt last from 22:00 to 7:00, been proven tons of time already >_>
