Do Zodiac Ring and Twilight Cape work with magical weaponskills (Garland of Bliss)? I was trying it out and it doesn't seem to, not sure if I just was screwing it up or something.
The NPC for bayld -> HP bayld conversion gives a bonus of 1 HP bayld when converting 101+ HP bayld. Has anyone found a higher tier bonus from this for converting more?
its 1% rounded down for 100+, no matter how high you go

I've done it at 200+ and 300+, same result. So basically exchange in increments of 100.

What's the easiest and/or fastest way to farm allied notes? Need me some ciphers.
Do a campaign battle... quick, easy...
Actually, turn in 2(?) copper vouchers for allied notes, get your cipher. /done.

Campaigns, you can turn in your tags and get fresh ones during the assault. You will cap out rewards after maybe 8 normal mobs or a couple and an NM. That way you can get capped rewards more than once per fight.

Need someone to try it at 1000+ assuming you can store that much bayld.
What is Beist's proc...?
I've seen it proc from Rudra (from the back) > Rudra (from the back) proc AGAIN.
I've seen it NOT proc from SA Rudra > SA Rudra (proc).
Seen it proc from TARudra (from the front).
Bully > SARudra has not proc'd it yet.
Coronoch/last stand/anything from a SMN hasn't proc'd it yet.
Safe to say it's not skillchains/weaponskills (explicitly) Nor directionally based. It can be proc'd, while proc'd so it can't be a timing thing.

Enfeebles so confusing...
Weike Torque or Imbodla Necklace for enfeebles that have no potency (sleep, dispel, silence, etc)? Don't know which has more macc, I'm guessing Weike?
Weike Torque or Imbodla Necklace for enfeebles that have no potency (sleep, dispel, silence, etc)? Don't know which has more macc, I'm guessing Weike?
It's assumed that 1 magic skill = 1 magic accuracy (for the Nth time to melees, no it's not proven to be the same as melee skills : accuracy formula)
so Weike torque have 2+7 on enfeebling magic = 9 + 2MND
Imbodla Neckless have 5 on elemental/enfeebling magic = 5+ 7MND or INT
white magic is affected by MND and black magic is affected by INT. The magic accuracy it gives is determined by a difference between the mob's INT/MND and yours. So when it matters greatly (i.e. when you need the most macc you need to land, that means the mob probably has a very high INT or MND), you can assume that 1 INT/MND = 1 macc for their respective white/black magic spell.
so that makes Weike torque 9macc on black magic an 11 macc on white
imbodla is 12 on both.
Conclusion: Imbodla wins.

Crit hit maybe? Has it proc'd from normal old auto attacks?
In the 20 times I've killed it, it's only ever proc'd from a Rudra. Stacked stab has never done it, autoattacking has never done it. But it doesn't always proc from the stacked rudras...
(honestly i thought it was doing 30k damage to proc it at first lol) but I saw one proc @ 27k so that's not it~

gotcha, yea i havn't fought that one yet, spammed my points for the bibiki bay unity NM for some refresh pants ; ;
Why do people bandwagon thief and not dancer? Is dancer that complicated? Dancer is even more stronger then thief.
Wellllllllll.....
I think THF and DNC work really well together right now. If playing uncooperatively, I'm not sure which would win. If playing cooperatively and giving THF all the credit for their huge skillchains, THF will win.
... but that doesn't stop me from parsing 50% of party damage against Unity NMs.

From my understanding Dancer's DPS is severely effected by the 1 second before and 1 second after you use a job ability it suspends your auto attacks. Additionally you don't have the ability to use SATA to combine with weapon skills tho you can self chain and use flourishes. Their damage output is just lower than thf and unless SE fixes the job ability delay issues they're always going to be a mediocre DD that doesn't offer any unique support abilities that someone else can't do better.
They are a god of soloing but even then, their damage output is low. They are one of the best to farm dynamis with for example, but they are 3rd place simply because they can't kill as fast as Beastmaster and Thief. Again this is just my understanding from what I've read. Byrth in the dancer forum would be the best to ask. If he can get the devs to listen to him about the JA delay I see Dancer becoming a competitive pick to every event. Having things like Enfire stack with Drain samba wouldn't hurt either.
I don't know that Byrth will get his wish though because I don't think it's an easy thing to fix... it's probably a relic of some sort of programming aimed at making sure it runs on ps2, xbox and PC, it could even just be a way to ensure all animations have time to finish playing after you use a job ability and to make that one change... they'd have to reprogram every job ability in the game. So I don't know but it's a big problem, I hate to even use steps when subjobbing dancer it really kills your damage output.

Actually steps is a critical part of dancer dps. Presto steps then steps. Climatic flourish rudra storm at 1750tp. More steps rudra storm reverse flourish rudra storm skillchain repeat.
I been winning the parses as dancer in a few things. Except voidwatch when I am dual boxing and end up in second.
I also did a 88k skillchain on largantua at 1750 tp.

Yep there is no bonus for converting 10M Bayld into 1000 HP Bayld.
It's always 1% and yes you can hold 10M+
I think billion is the cap.
It caps at a signed INT: 2,147,483,647

About geo skills, is there a current cap for potency or any extra skill is good?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
Any chance that someone is going to go through and update all the spreadsheets... and possibly clean them up? Like, there's no reason for basically any piece of non-ilvl gear to still be on there. (a couple exceptions).
Including the 1500 weapon choices etc. Could go ahead and delete more than half of them, relic 75/80/85/90/95 cause yeah.
It'd be nice to not have to re-write the entire thing every time I just want a little info on a set. I know that monten kinda vanished =/
