If there's one type of furniture I don't want to store are flags.

Give me more walls to hang my hard earned flags and cool japanese paintings, SE. I demand it.

4 flags and the horutoto tower painting myself.

And so another chapter in my epic quest to kill mobs on fire and thunder (Day of the week) begins.


This episode: 600 birds and 600 beasts on day/weather.



Edit >

4 flags and the horutoto tower painting myself.

Five here, I HATED having to remove that awesome Horutoto painting to hang the Jeunoan flag.

Incoming whining about being forced to use some TH dagger off-hand?

No... cuz you shouldn't be using TH dagger if you're needed more for offense than TH which that dagger looks to be for. More like whining on about who's cock needs be sukt to attain said items.

Still doesn't take away the fact that for 2 updates so far Thf has gotten dikt when it comes to the abilities/traits you get upon leveling up.

And when I posted I was unable to view any .dat mining results regarding gears for I am at work and they nazi-fy the web content I can see.

Could be useful on mobs immune to silence, to lessen incoming magic damage.

Redundancy much? Standard way to reduce incoming magic damage is Silence. It says nothing about actually reducing damage, just magic accuracy, so once again we'll all throw our hands high and dance around our mog houses praying to the Random Number Generator gods in the hopes that our placebo is actually doing something.

I'm filing this spell under "For Giggles" until testing is done that proves it to be quantifiably useful.

and what happens when you cast a nuke on a mob as RDM with your shitty MACC, it gets resisted, and therefore it reduces the amount of damage. Hence..........

Could be useful on mobs immune to silence, to lessen incoming magic damage.

Used in conjunction with barspells shell and a mdt set this could really improve the survivability of more squishy tanks/ AKA PLD's who have no natural MDB. Or help greatly in the solo of some magic crazy mobs.

If the MACC reduction is good. Easiest way to test would be to go to brenner with a BLM and have him nuke you. Naked and slowly add MACC until he consistently nukes for the same damage, (ie. Capped MACC). Then simply subtract the ACC required to CAP out resist rate and you will have a rough Idea as to the amount of MACC lost.

Bu like I said, anything with crazy magic just gets stuned or zerged so really the usefulness of the spell it their but practical use will be non existant.

Last I saw, there were 20 level 81 characters on Valefor. It can't take that long.
Cool. Maybe the person who calculated the <5% rate was just having a long run of really crappy luck.

Personally, I got 5 in 5 hours (not 1 per hour mind you, they were pretty concentrated during the first few, then I suffered to find that last 1).

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (09/08/2010)

im going to say those people are lucky, because i just spent about 4 hours and got 2. Id say the drop rate is pretty crap, considering they likely share a slot with BSeal and KSeal. 2/5 done though. Yay!.

AF3 is the greatest fucking thing ever. I swear, whatever notion of game balance may have existed before has been thoroughly shat upon.

Fullstats on AF3 +2's are up on BG, should be on wiki soon as well. Dear god I had to change my pants after looking at some of them, especially THF.

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (09/08/2010)

I got a crest on my first and third kill. Then I went at another two hours or so with just a couple of icky K-seals dropping until I got tired and went to bed. But I enjoyed making others on the LS jealous about getting those first two crests so fast. At least I finished off my first merit point.

No instant 85s this time. It took a few hours for the first 82 to show, and that was in Abyssea LaTheine. None of the 81+ were in Kor. Tunnel, which I found amusing. Abyssea > astral burn.

I have learned one thing, though: Sky is BIG and can support a LOT of people. At 100 it felt like Cape Teriggan at 60 or so. There are 12 areas just for Flamingos alone, and people were pulling Groundskeepers out of garages all over the place. They were even fighting them down the main aisle without kiting them to the porch.

I had forgotten to /NIN, but it's never been safer to /WHM there than it was last night. I also saw at least one Dipper Yuly, so I've already packed away some Wool Grease jugs for my next trip up there.

Ya some jobs made out like bandits, other jobs made out with INV+3 (probably +5) so much for hopes of it being customized through magian trials. To be Quite frank the RDM set looks not very appealing to me. Unless the composure bonus extends to the rest of the party, it isn't going to change the cycle world. That and for nuking the items are just Teal set +1. I wan't my fucking melee gear already, I mean DNC got pretty neary a hauby+1 for every equip slot. All RDM gets is 3more items for situational uses, which means I need to find 3 more things to drop from my ever growing inventory woes.

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (09/08/2010)

No kidding. Except for the enhancing magic + time extension feet the rest of RDM armor so far is just fugly looking crap.

I thought that armor would have trials like weapons where you'd be able to choose the path you wanted to follow for it (STR, VIT, etc.). But I guess it was too much to ask for. orz



PS> I just hope the "Augments Composure" thing at least makes it worth getting.

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (09/08/2010)

Ok, where is Refresh II obtained from?

And count me among the people not understanding the OMFG about RDM AF3.

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (09/08/2010)

I have learned one thing, though: Sky is BIG and can support a LOT of people.

I was in sky already upon loggin on using Tachi: Koki on Birds for the GK trial. The first island was full to the brim. It was a absolute madhouse. Cats and dogs living togetherThen I went looking for a coffer which when I finally found it I'd walked the area 2x. There was very few people out on the islands. I was still killing things with Tachi: Koki so all the birds took a while but I got 2 Kcrests outta it and finished my last merit pt. Only 90 or so Koki's to go... then a sh!tload of Kasha's on Aquans.

Unfortunately I won't get another chance to explore much new content for a few days; but, from what I've gleaned it seems very full of winsauce.

So, +Refresh Potency and a set bonus (come december) that enhances composure doesn't interest you in the least?
