This might be a dumb question but if you already have the Pulse Cell: Co's for the Coruscanti and you defeat Qilin for the Ashen VW Path can you just trade the Pulse Cells to Ardrick for the weapon?
Yes. Once you have cleared the VW NM, you can trade the cells in for the weapon. You can collect the cells in advance of clearing the NM.

Thank you, I just wanted to clarify.

Ok I'm sorry, I had brain fart when looking it up on bgwiki 50% from damage bonus looked like critical hit rate XD
Anyway assuming 100% Critical hit rate at 0TP is still WAY to optimistic imo, but we will see. I don’t think the max critical rate will start before weaponskill calculations, because it will make the decay factor obsolete.
Assume that you do evisceration exactly at 1K, and based on Tauren description, and if indeed at 0 TP you get 100% critical rate, then you’re technically left with 66.66% chance to proc critical on ws [to me that’s more reasonable].
Your premis assumes that it’s almsot always going to be a forced critical on ws, which is absurdly OP.
Yet again, that’s also paradoxical because evisceration critical rate varies with TP...unless SE did this on purpose to give an edge to Tauren.
This also will change evisceration set, favoring multi-hits and critical DMG.

Man how do you all have so many pulse weapons. I have not seen one in over 4k Aello/Qilin/Uptalas. Not one . . ever. Since the implementation of voidwatch through all the light events.
While not necessarily reliable sources, pulse weapons are in the pool of things that the gobbie box and NNI event can give. Pretty much all of the ones I have came from one of those two things, and it's probably not a coincidence that they're running both the enhanced SP dial and NNI event this month.

How difficult is Qilin for a pretty well geared SMN?

I got a sagasinger on my 66th attempt. So maybe the favors are better that route for people trying to find a weapon. But it's too sexy to ever give up lol.
All in all nothing really looks that great(I mean if you already have a rema for your job). I dont feel its gonna be worth the headache for 50 page waits on asura sever. And the occasional resetting of tonberry hate? Probably will eat my words later.

Quote: Also the real question if that almost max critical hit rate works for WS
It does. When abyssea first came out there's a very good reason that atma of the razed ruins was so powerful. Evisceration numbers were off the charts for that time in the game's lifespan. When paired with atma of the gnarled horn evisceration became far more consistent and overall higher damage both.
Try it out with a pair of mythril daggers or something low lvl enough to make it testable and see for yourself. But I guarantee if you can't get max crit rate on weaponskills the cap is damn close to 100%. But if normal melee has no critical hit rate cap, and it's a known fact that it doesn't because 100% critical hit rate parses have been posted before with very large sample sizes, then there's no reason to believe weaponskills are any different.
You misunderatood my queation. I obviously know crit hit rate worka for crit WSs. What I meant is with this dagger giving more crit rate at low tp, during ws what tp is taken for calculation. Usually WS is calculated after the tp is taken from you so it should have high crit chance bonus from dagget but im not sure. Maybe they crit rate is snapshoted before tp is taken.

So everyone knows, nni event the weps drop like leaves falling. My friend and I have every wep for glamor after two nni campaigns.. Happy pulse wep hunting all.

I have no idea why you assume such high numbers for this bonus. I would be happy if its +20% at 0TP decaying to 0% at 3000
TP. Your assumption of +100% is way too optymistic. 30% would be super high already.

Bah I'm gonna have to go through my mules to see if I still have a few left, was going to upgrade several weapons this month for funsies.
First on my list are
Axe / Polearm
Then
Dagger / Knuckles / Sword / Scythe
The GS's defense down looks... interesting but god the stats are horrible (DEX/INT/MND) and lol at MAB on a GS. Like some weapons got decent stats while others got random stuff that makes zero sense.

I can't test it, but I suspect there's just a typo in the description as part of a localization error and instead of "based" it's supposed to be "base". IE if at 1000 tp eviscerations critical hit rate bonus is +10% this ups it + 30%, if the 2000 anchor tier is +25% then it becaomes 45%, if the 3000 mark is 50% this makes it 70%. Something like that. Whatever value they gave it is just applied as a flat percentage bonus across all ranges. Obviously just speculation and I have no idea what the actual values would be, but that's how I interpreted the text.

The real question is what kinda glow effect the staff gets. There hasn't been a pulse staff until now.
quick, dat swap
It was shown in the FP. Kind of a black smoke effect.

Not sure why its so confusing for you here. Description is pretty clear. It adds unknown amount of critical hit rate at 0TP and that bonus decays to unknown amount with more TP you have. What im wondering is just when that bonus is snapshoted for WS calculation. Before TP is used for WS, or after TP is used for WS like it was with Blau Dolch.

OH WOW. Go MNK. Thats neat.
"Auto-Attack": "Store TP"+50 gained when landing critical hits
Monk is great again !

So Gorpa just disappeared on Valefor. I was halfway through chatting with him and he blinked out of existence. Had to force-crash the game to get playing again. Happen anywhere else?

holy crap, glad I stockpiled a small collection of glowy weapons over the years.
I can tell you from experience that the meeble burrows glowys are probably gonna be the easiest ones to get. The droprate is about the same as the ZiTah HELMs but at least they're soloable to an extent for most people.
