Jack Of All Trades: A Guide To Red Mage

not that run can hit 700 skill either but I assume temper I also has the same 700 skill cap?

Looks like they're stuck at 655 skill with hoxne and puk being used at ML50 so unlikely to hit the assumed cap anytime soon unless they drop another large skill+ piece elsewhere

Even if it caps at 700, you can now reach cap with weapons locked (losing the 21 skill from puku+augmented forfend). Renewing temper without having to unlock weapons is pretty nice for a number of longer events, like dyna.

Temper II capping at 700 is quite a huge disappointment, le sigh.

really dont see how, its a thfs level of TA without needing the gear for it, at basically no cost and no downtime. had to cap somewhere. 40% seems more than reasonable for a TA cap

Hey I said it's a disappointment, not that it sucks!
I'll have to adjust my sets, alas.

704 with locked weapons

in one of the few instances where RNGesus blessed me on my third augment on ghostfyre I got +9 skill +20 duration and I've never looked back. It's such an amazing cape.

I too got 9 skill and 20 duration in about 30 crystals. I've been trying for 10/20 for a bit but no dice, but then again I only do it when I have some crystals that I mostly only ever get from an UNM farm session.

I tried with over 50 stacks (stacks, not singles) of Refractive Crystals, it's probably way way more but this is what I tracked.
Mind this happened over many, many years.

I walked out with a +8/20 duration cape and a +10/18 duration cape.
I use the second in Temper/Enspells, the first for everything else.

I wanted inventory +1 but alas, SE doesn't want me to!
An old LS friend of mine, had a perf RDM cape. All 4 stats were maxed XD

Can someone share their lua code for changing weapons to mythic during convert?

should just be a precast for convert like any other JA

sets.precast.JA['Convert'] = {main="Murgleis"}

I'm only familiar with Sel's luas, and it gets a little more tricky if you want it to override Weapon sets. If you're not using a Weapon set, then the above should work fine.

For a single swap, long CD JA.(esp with weapons) I just make it a macro. That way I have the option to not swap if I don't want to lose TP.

/equip main "weapon"
/ja "name" <me>

They did something the last months update with overriding and enhancing magic(not this month), weaker enspells will over right stronger ones, shorter duration, barspells over right other bar spells regardless of duration or potency of the one currently on you. So overriding is not functioning right now in general. however was curious if anyone else was experiencing this.
I don't normaly run into this issue but was doing segs on rdm earlier and the sch's much much weaker enwater would override my enspell. which shouldn't happen.
I've actually been talking with my static because I used to be able to 100% 3 step, 80% 4 step when I had no buffs other than haste II/temper II. now I 85% 3 step, and it's hit or miss if I will 4 step. With no gear changes and my gear is swapping properly. i've been telling them it feels like the potency was lowered on temper II or they put a cap on that's much lower than the previous 40%. I even did a seg run today and same thing tp generation was slower across the run than it was pre last months update.

All enspells of the same tier will overwrite, regardless of potency. Auspice also overwrites enspell 1, regardless of potency. This is how it's always been.

With regard to the temper stuff idk, possibly different SAM roll results, or just poor luck? Definitely needs more data than vibes to determine, but I'd guess it's very, very unlikely that they broke temper ii and wouldn't trust feelings and guesses until something more concrete were presented.

I got so desperate for Inventory+1 that I converted one of my ghostfyres capes into a +10/20 cape. (I had two capes, +9/10 and +10/19 augments and it took me ~600 refractive crystals, which is low compared to other folks who told me it took over 1000 refractive crystals).

But in any case, Inventory+1 secured!

I think before I get myself into that world again, I'm gonna demand an addon to do the trades because frankly that's the worst part of the whole process XD

Speaking of which, any chance someone has already developed such an addon?
I think one in the MAGA style would be complex but at this point I'd be satisfied even with an addon where I press a single macro/button and he selects the NPC and trades the 2 items (the cape and the refractive crystal).
