Newbie here who's heard of this and thought about joining years ago, but never got around to it. Is the Steam version fine to use? If it makes the game a little tougher, idc, whatever, but just checking that it's a reasonable way to do it since it's definitely the most accessible for me.

Steam version is fine for the mostpart, just note that unless you get a good combination of jobs, a lot of the post-game stuff can be inaccessible because they "fixed" some of the ways of avoiding boss mechanics, like Omnicient always being able to cast return, even if silenced.

As a reminder: The original plan was three steals from optional world 3 quests, which was ruined by Odin’s protect ring not being a unique drop. Genji Armor is the replacement for that. Titan’s gloves was just a bonus joke challenge. dis astranagant posted:5. 2 Titan's Axes Not only did I completely forget about this, but also it doesn’t fit the theme because that’s a mandatory fight.

The Skald  $1 per run, up to $20, for each run wherein a Bard hits an enemy with an axe.

I'll donate $10, up to a maximum of $300 to Against Malaria Foundation for every pic of a geomancer attacking Neo-Exdeath with Gaia's Bell. Just post a pic of the attack and a pic of the bell being equipped on the geomancer and we're good.

Ace Transmuter posted:You've got it. At that point the Rune Axe out-performs the Apollo Harp though.  A Level 35 Lenna Berserker with Equip Harps uses the Apollo Harp and Rune Axe in separate attacks. She has base 46 strength and 39 magic. Rune Axe gives +3 magic, Apollo Harp gives no bonus stats. Therefore: quote:Kyrosiris: .mcalc 35 46 42 rune Rune Axe, with Rune boost: 71+10 Attack, M of 25 = 2025 damage Apollo Harp: 75 Spell Attack, M of 9 = 675 damage Even taking random variance and accuracy into account, you end up with (75...84) attack variance for the Harp and (45...116) attack power variance for the Rune Axe; apply a .9 multiplier to final damage to account for misses and you get: Rune Axe: [(45...116) * 25] * 0.9 = 1012 - 2610 effective damage per swing (1125 - 2900 printed) Apollo Harp: (75...84) * 9 = 675 - 756 damage per attack Obviously this all goes out the window if the target is undead or a dragon but yeah, the Apollo Harp is not going to do very much in a Berserker's hands.

I'm doing this for the first time this year and from what I understand to get no repeated jobs but random any jobs I'd go for #regchaos? It seems like I might wanna add a 750 in there too but also I'm not sure if that only limits me to jobs that can break rods plus jobs that are similar in playstyle and theme or if it simply adds them to the list that can be pulled from. Also maybe I want #purechaos but I'm not sure if that's gonna give me potential duplicates, which I wanna avoid. It's been like 10 years or maybe longer since I've played this game so some of the terminology on the website is sorta unfamiliar but really I seem to be having trouble understanding what has a chance of giving me duplicate jobs versus what doesn't.

Chaos can give the duplicate jobs, Pure Chaos cannot. PC also throws Freelancer and Mime into the mix. I want Pure Chaos with duplicates. I also THINK that 750 is divided between jobs that can and jobs that can't use rods.

750: White Mage, Black Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Bard, Geomancer, Dancer, Chemist No 750: Knight, Thief, Monk, Berserker, Mystic Knight, Ninja, Ranger, Beastmaster, Samurai, Dragoon 750 + Berserker Risk is a pretty good choice for a first run except that there are a few combinations that can have a rough early game.

Yeah, even ignoring "just break rods for literally everything" Freelancer can use any weapon and armor in the game. They're very powerful just on their own, and can suck up a lot of useful things from your other jobs.

Just want to take a moment to express sheer shock at this thread being in Games, when there's a Retro Games forum now with low enough traffic that it's practically as good as being stickied there. How any of you were even able to notice this thread shuffling behind the several dozen high traffic threads it has to compete for attention with in Games is beyond me. I couldn't search for it either. Anyway I just put in a report to have the thread moved. I'm assuming most of you just have it favorited anyway and for anyone else it'll be a lot easier to check in on in Retro Games.
