How to get HP to less than 75%!

Re: How to get HP to less than 75%!

It's 75% of your net max HP. Gear does figure into this - as long as your HP shows yellow or worse, the effect will kick in.

Is that for sure? The wiki page says its base HP. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen it be wrong, just a rarity.

Pretty sure. I can test it in-game - I've got a Medicine Ring in storage, and quite a lot of +/- HP gears. I'll test it again when I log in next time and check and post back the results here.

As an Elvaan I am horrified at how much gear I would have to carry to trigger the latent... =(

Re: How to get HP to less than 75%!

Unfortunately, the latent effect only takes place when your HP is less than 75% of your base HP. That is, your HP when you have no gear equipped and no food on.

Nevertheless! I think I might've found the right gear to use:

blue cape -15
errant pinaches -20
electrum ring X2 -40
black Coteharde -25
dune bracers -35
star necklace -15
ivory sickle -10
gold hairpin -12
penitents rope -25

After calculating it out, the total amount of subtracted HP is 197. Seems I met my goal by 9 hp. Thanks for the help guys.

you would still be under becouse sorcerer's ring is a ring so you cant wear 2 electrums

Re: How to get HP to less than 75%!

All I can say FOR SURE on the topic of when it kicks in is that my conjurer's ring (50 SMN ring, latent effect: avatar perpetuation -1) actually kicks in slightly BEFORE I reach yellow hitpoints. I carry it with me all the time in case I have an opportunity to pop it on, but generally speaking I only *really* use it when I'm farming on /THF, since /WHM ultimately causes my HP to gradually increase. Changing equipment *should* have an effect on when it kicks in, but I haven't tested this.

Congratulations on finding the right gear to help lower your HP.

Now, you're next task is to keep the WHMs and RDMs from healing you in a party. w (or in HNM camping for that matter)

Whenever I played WHM, if I checked my party list and found someone with yellow HP, I learned to either start asking who it was and why or just leave it alone entirely, until they went orange (or red.) Then I'd throw a quick Cure 3 or 4.

Its cute tho when a taru blm gets huffy when you accidentially cure him when he's trying to set himself up for <75% HP for his Sorcerer Ring. w

Hehe, I noticed this when I was testing my -hp gear out. I'm gonna have to finish getting my rdm to 37 before effectively using this ring. For the time being, I'm gonna need to get hit a few times.

Re: How to get HP to less than 75%!

if you get gear that makes your HP less than 75% Base then how would auto regen heal you passed 75% or lower depending on what your HP- equip is, o and

Statistics
Sorcerer's Ring
(Rings) All Races
Latent Effect: Magic Attack Bonus +10
Lv. 50 BLM

Notes: Latent effect is activated by having 75% or less base HP, this can be obtained without going in to yellow HP.

Re: Srxjo

The idea is for him to equip -hp gear that takes him below 75% of his normal hp, then put on his normal gear so his max hp goes back up while his current hp stays at 75%.

Re: How to get HP to less than 75%!

Here's a little update on the gear that I have now:

blue cape -15
errant pigaches -20
electrum ring X2 -40
black Coteharde -25
errant mitts -20
star necklace -15
ivory sickle -10
gold hairpin -12
penitents rope -20


Without wearing any gear at all, my HP is 754. 1/4 of that is is 188.5 . Unfortunately, I can't wear dune bracers (damn galka >.<) This gear rounds out to 177 hp. I can get a tiphia sting, which is an extra -25 hp. That would take me to 202 hp, which more than exceeds my mark. Bear in mind that this is with subbing whm, so it's not urgent that I get this piece now.

However! I have a small request. If anyone here is a tarutaru blm/rdm (with no merits) can you tell me your base hp while subbing rdm with no gear equipped? I want to make sure I more than meet my mark before getting this ammo piece.

Thanks!
