Primes, like relics, have a hidden occasionally does 2-3x damage on the first swing.
2x at stage4, 3x at stage5.
Proc rate is higher than relics, about 30-35%.
The important part about this is the fact that this can only proc on first hit of the round, so if you triple attack, only one of 3 attacks can be double or triple damage. This make this effect significantly weaker than AM on empyreans, especially on jobs/setups with high Multi Attack rate which are usually the ones taking highest advantage of this mechanic anyway. There are two exceptions. Verethragna can also only proc on one hit per round, so there is no exception for Prime h2h itself, but there is exception in comparison to empyrean counterpart. Now true exceptions are ranged Primes which can proc x2 and x3 damage on each shot of double-quad shot, so the effect is about the same as AM1 on Empyrean. |

Random Question and forgive me if it was commonly known and I simply missed it:
Do Prime Weapons receive a Melee Damage increase similar to Relic Weapons or Empy with Aftermath?
I'm not seeing this trait anywhere on BG Wiki and I don't remember anyone bringing up discussions about it on these forums either, but I could very easily have just not been reading the days they were talked about.
Is this a thing, or did my LS mates pull fast one on me for being away for so long? lol

I joined this guy's "8 boss melee" pug twice. He went as PLD with no healer, insisted he could heal 8 boss runs no problem. Wiped to B boss and warped.
The second time I forgot it was him, only realised after entering when everything was questionable. Again, he gets silenced on B, everyone wipes, he breaks party and warps.
I'm sure he would make an excellent addition to a successful 9 boss static.

Screenshot from the Sandy raid in XIV.
I do not remember mobs like these at all. What are these and when were they introduced? Also from where?
Thanks! |

You don't like cute Caramel Mutt Panta? |

it takes triple the time tho.
It actually takes less time, because you'd need 4 non-charged amped bumbas to get the same RP as one charged amped. So, instead of sitting through bumba 4x you sit through bumba once and 2 others once each. |

Charged amp in general is always worth it, even at V15. Higher V charge you can do the better.

If you dont know where it came from, you don't deserve to know.
There's literally only one place it could've come from.
Man, you were a load that your mother should have swallowed. FFS. ❤️ |

While I was out buying food, I passed by a dog adoption place.
I think I will end up adopting a little caramel mutt when I finally purchase my new home. Solid choice.
I go for 1/2 Australian shepherds in blue merle but in adopting dogs there isn't a bad color. That said black dogs are too often overlooked on color alone.
Adopt a dog, save a life. |

Realistically does this even give enough RP to be worth it?
Define worth it.
A v25 charged amp will give 6,984 RP minimum, without the RP earned by the 10% done on Bumba regardless of vengeance level.
See wiki. |

Do you by chance have a good guide/write up on this you'd recommend I check out for further details on the setup?
I do not. The TL;DR is - master bst. Enter at least V15 Bumba on bst. Pull out Generous Arthrur (dire broth from Upper Jeuno NPC).
Engage on bst, get pet to fight him, hit bumba at least once on Bst and stay engaged. Bumba will be at 99%.
Use Purulent Ooze. You should see Bumba HP spike to 100% then go back down to 99%. Stop engaging on bst, leave pet on him. Go to a safe place with RR and amp on. One minute later bumba HP will be 89%.
That is all. After he kills you wait until he goes back to centre, raise up, and wait the timer out.
Gleti's set with agwu axe (R0) and whatever pet macc accessories you have should be good enough for bumba. Purulent ooze is affected by pet macc, though you don't need to max it out to land it. Gleti's armor all has pet macc on it, and the feet give pet level too.
If you have empy bst +1 earring, or NQ, that is good too.
Realistically does this even give enough RP to be worth it? |

My question was more "is this a buff or a debuff".
Wut.
It's just SIRD.
Again, if it were phrased as SIRD I'd have understood. It's not. Hence why I asked. |

You're asking if "spell interruption rate down 5%" is the same as "spell interruption rate-5%"?
Yes, it is. It's the same stat.
My question was more "is this a buff or a debuff". As in there is a cute ring but it gives positive cure casting spell time, which is on the whole a debuff. |

Should unload xipivot and use vanilla dats for a while to test.
The altered dats from the video above use up a lot more memory than the originals.

I won rank2 a while back on a character that already had 100k+ Nyzul tokens.
Got the cat's eye.
Buying alex, or farming gil to buy alex, takes longer than farming Nyzul IMO even if you don't already have some Nyzul tokens.

I'm kind of at a loss. I won rank 2, but I don't know what to pick. It's on a mule so things like Cats Eye don't apply. I already have two Crep Cloaks. Any advice?
I feel like you should never pick anything except the nyzul tokens skip. A cloak could be argued for, but nothing else matters on a mule character that you will transfer to main. Tokens is literally hours of your life that you can skip with the book.
Probably what I'm going for honestly. It was that or go for the 50 mil and I don't think I'm hurting for gil right now. |

Bst ooze is easy to do on Bumba for rp, no meleeing no remas no empy even. Just get Bst mastered, gleti set and agwu axe.
Do you by chance have a good guide/write up on this you'd recommend I check out for further details on the setup?
I have pretty much all this already so I'm kinda interested in giving it a shot later. |

Ive seen folks doing Bumba runs soloing em down to 89% as various jobs to qualify for the RP.
What are jobs that can pull this off without an ultimate weapon? Ive seen that bsts can do it, but I dunno if they need an ultimate weapon to pull it off reliably or not.
If you were to pick a job to grind up just for this task, what would you consider the easiest to gear up to pull it off?

Those were the only .DATs I ever tinkered with so we'll see how it goes. So far, so good for now but I'll give it a couple days before celebrating. |
