What's this thing do? Latents/Triggers

[Elmer the Pointy]

So I found a book just tonight at the store, and it's basically an encyclopedia of FFXI weapons, armor, magic...
Anyway, it is current up through the last update, and it's apparently where JP players got quest information on the Mythic Weapons, such as needing T4 ZNM monster items for parts of the quest line no one has gotten to.

Looking through it, it seems really detailed regarding weapons and armor... much more detailed than I've ever seen before. For example, it specifically says Futsuno gives the +8 STR boost "when 2+ members are in the party and you do a WS." It also states specifically that Skanda Boots give +10% attack to a Jump.

I figure posters here know much better than I do what the hotly contested weapons/armor are, in terms of effects and triggers. If there is anything specific I should check, just name it. Or if I'm behind the times and all this stuff if figured out already, let me know that too.

Does it say magic accuracy work for quick draw of corsair so you can shuddup all the naysayers?

What does it say aboot gorgets and multi hit weaponskills (because there is always some doubt floating around...)

What's the name of the book? Seems interesting, possibly fishy also?

[Gunslinger]

Items to be checked:

Foolkiller (Gaxe- Latent?)
Drachen Greaves (enhance jump has never really been sorted out, people just stopped using)
Drachen Armet +1 (spirit link effectiveness?)
Perdu Bow / X-Bow stats
Ace's Locket (Latent?)
Sirius Axe (anything with damage increase, more secrets?)
Monster Gloves (how many levels, any explanation of the pet summoning system / levels)
And probably a bunch of food items with interesting stats we don't know about!

Will edit in more as I think of them!

Nice find, thanks for the post as always Elmer ^^

[foopy]

anything on yigit staff?

[Spekkio]

ace's locket (though i can't conceive why anyone would care, it's just a nagging question)

seismic axe

most anything with a hidden effect since so few can be guessed (like how we'd never have known about the unlisted -enmity on marduk pants if not for a freak accident, though i think the omission in and of itself was an accident.)

think that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

AA needs to be brought up again at the fanfest for sure.

lol

Nooooooo, mythic weapons aren't as hard as relics, not a bit

[Tyramut]

Wow, nice find. Scan it all in and stick it on your site oh plzplzplz

[Wulfgang]

such as needing T4 ZNM monster items for parts of the quest line no one has gotten to.

While I do not stalk the Mythic Weapons / Alexandrite threads, isn't this a fairly major discovery? Kind of sucks, but as long as PW remains an ultimate pain in the ass, may not be terrible.

Nothing about abilities

What does it say aboot gorgets and multi hit weaponskills (because there is always some doubt floating around...)

Weapon Skill Accuracy & Damage Up
Accuracy +10 (est.) , same effect on Multi-Hit WS, ranged Acc also up
Damage +10% to each WS multiplier, that is, it has a bigger effect on WS with lower multipliers

What's the name of the book? Seems interesting, possibly fishy also?

GAME 禁書 (kinsho, forbidden documents) Not exactly fishy, but it isn't "official" either.

• Foolkiller - Doesn't say
• Drachen Greaves - Jump, Attack Power +10% (est.)
• Drachen Armet +1 - Spirit Link: Recovery amount +10 not sure exactly what this "+10" is added to
• Perdu Bow / X-Bow stats - Perdu Bow, it says TP < 100 or WS activates latent, bow has DPS of 7.00 under latent effect.
• Ace's Locket - HP < 25%
• Sirius Axe - Damage rating of weapon increased for regular attacks with 3+ party members. 3=+2dmg, 4=+4dmg, 5=+6dmg, 6=+8dmg

anything on yigit staff?

comes from ??? item from Periqia, Saving Private Ryaaf

[Nameless]

glory crown does anything?

[Lordwafik]

Elmer = Santa Clause.

Oh! Does it say anything about thief knife working of equipped in offhand or not ? /equip flame suit

[KigenAngelo]

Were you able to find anything in the book that confirms this?

[TheStig]

Millionaire's Desk?

[Kilhart]

Exact numbers for racc vs. TP on Slugwinder? :3

[BRP]

I don't think everything is going to have a hidden effect, especially if it is apart of a set of items with identical effects. Somethings in the game simply will not be optimal.

Anyway this is very interesting elmer. There a ton of mysterious we really need to solve.

[Elmer the Pointy]

seismic axe

Not much info on stuff added in September beyond a simple list

Also, Skanda boots were +10% Attack or +10% Dmg? either way, i just want them even more now

Attack + 10%

glory crown does anything?

Nope.

[Nameless]

Ragnarok - critical rate, and critical rate after scourge
BZ - If there is any hidden effect on this other than just using it as zerg tool.

[Nameless]

damn, i was hoping that perhaps there is a way you can turn glory crown into like 10k alexandrite by maybe desynth it lol.... guess not...

[Gunslinger]

Thanks so much Elmer, if that's true I guess I'll be changing jump boots again!

[Elmer the Pointy]

Oh! Does it say anything about thief knife working of equipped in offhand or not ? /equip flame suit

Doesn't specify.

I've always been curious myself of Evoker's Boots (the KSNM30 SMN only boots)

No hidden effects.

Were you able to find anything in the book that confirms this?

Yes, it says that you trade the 3 drops from the tier 4 ZNMs to the ??? at E-10 in Caedarva Mire. It does however say there is some guesswork involved in their description of how the quest plays out. So there may be some hope yet left for Mythic Weapon seekers who find this to be an insurmountable task

Millionaire's Desk?

Exact numbers for racc vs. TP on Slugwinder? :3

Only Weapons/Armor/Spells.

[oldoldman]

How to beat AV! :rollseyes:

[Vincentknight]

Kumokirimaru and Hacchonenbutsu dangozashi? Really would love to know if there is any truth to the rumor of Hacchonenbutsu giving a double attack bonus.
