Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

60% as the max sounds feasible. I've seen it dispel/absorb upwards of 20 (Rune Fencer) and still *seemed* like a noticeable intimidation proc rate.

I have a question about Desynth.

My main is my THF, and my mule is my crafter. I'm going for the shield. I think you know where I'm going with this.

Farming cards. They're EX to my character, I can't trade them between to my mule.

What level is the desynth on them? BG doesn't say. I may have to level up THF on my mule to farm them.

The desynth is lv0 crafting skill, but requires the KI from initiating stage 4 shield to perform, so your mule would need 110 + s3 shield complete.

Ah, I knew about the KI. Forgot.

Yet another question.

I was gone since Nov 2019. Do Mars orbs / Venus orbs not sell like hot cakes anymore? Or did everyone just buy them around the update?

A month or two ago, the hot cakes npc got nerfed to only sell 1 hot cake a week. so people cant farm hot cakes like hot cakes anymore.

Now I want hot cakes :(

There's a movie I want to find a meme for but google is letting me down.

Basically store owner says "i don't know why they say sells like hotcakes, no one buys those, what they should say is they sell like rubbers"

What's the name of the plugin that randomizes names?

Can pulse weapons drop from VW at 300% Red?

Anybody knows of a spreadsheet with a properly working OTD mechanic?
It's the updated post level 90 Empyrean Aftermath, which has a 30%, 40% or 50% chance to activate a "triple damage" (avg damage x3?) on a melee hit with that weapon, multiattack procs included.

All Spreadsheet I checked only have ODD and the only OTD I found is in the MNK spreadsheet, but that's a bit special because Verethragna is not exactly like all other Empy weapons.


I see most spreadsheet have a "Average DMG/round" cell. This cell sums up various value, the last values of this formula are the Relic proc cell and the ODD cell.
These cells themselves have formulas that yield "0" unless the condition (right weapon equipped, AM up etc) are fulfilled.

I want to change what should be a 2x multiplier (ODD) into a 3x multiplier (OTD) but I'm a bit lost.
If anyone knows of a spreadsheet with a working OTD formula maybe I can understand how to do it correctly by reading that.

Hello, i have a mule with a strange problem.
trust healers refuse to heal it
I tested with yoranoran, kupipi.
trusts make buffs (pro/shell) but don't heal.
trusts heal others trust
but not my PC.
am i only one with this problem ?

Does your mule have the Accursed Belt equipped?

thank you
i didn't know this thing have a latent curse

Yes. They can drop at 0% lights and TH0. More relevant lights just mean better chances. Though we're talking about the difference between something like 0.00000000001% and 0.0001%. VW drops are always bad, regardless of having max lights or not.
Blue is for number of drops, Red is for "quality"; so your best chance is maximizing Red like in your example. (With as much TH as possible.)

EDIT: There's apparently a threshold for pulse (and assumingly the other good stuff too) needed for Red %s.

Actually, it was discovered a while ago that certain drops are completely unavailable unless you meet certain red thresholds.

As for the minimum for pulse weapons, I don't know, but I'd assume on the higher end.

Was that ever completely proven? I just remember it being just an effective impossibility from it being so low?

I farm VW outside of light campaigns since I'm after emp upgrade items only. 1000s upon 1000s of kills and have never seen a pulse.

There is definitely a red threshold as you stated.

pre-abyssea, it seemed pretty common to derive the base stats of mobs/NMs (STR,DEX,MND,INT,etc)- has a repository of known base stats for post-Adoulin enemies ever been gathered?

Enemies are not affected by geo enfeebles unless the geomancer has some enmity. Has anyone tested to see if power leveling someone as a geo with indi-frailty would lower the exp mob's def? :o

This was a thing sometime last year. It did work. It's only really useful for PLing / cping. It's neat though.

Is this this best resource for finding the Mog-Tablets? It feels like at least one location may be missing.

For the first ten, yes. The 11th can be anywhere iirc. Even previously found areas.

Counter on Ambuscade cape worth it? Is it a rate of 10%?

Good for a Mnk Counter build. Believe so on the 10%, but not sure. I'd also imagine it gets nerfed on NMs to 5% (but could be wrong on that as well).

Anyone know if there's a list of weaponskills that DA/TA/QA can proc on? I can't seem to find any info on Bg-Wiki of which weaponskills they can proc on.

I mean, it's all melee physical and hybrid ws. (I'm not 100% on asuran fists, it obviously won't add more hits, but replace the first hits with procs?)

Would be better to ask specifically than an entire list, if one is in doubt.

Wow been playing all this time and did not know that.

Main one in question was Sanguine Blade, but you answered it.

I haven't seen any testing that shows counter rate get nerfed on NMs.
