New Trial Of The Magians Staves

Did some testing of Teiwaz, Earth Affinity Magic Accuracy +3 and Magic Dmg+1.

385 nukes

369 - no resist
15 - 1/2 resist
1 - 1/4 resist

This was with 291+5 macc on Qiqirn in the ruins as previously suggested.

I'll do some more tests tomorrow hopefully.

Given the experimental conditions, assumptions, and previous work, it's safe to say the Teiwaz has a higher magic accuracy than the HQ staff. So I would leave it at that unless you want to validate the HQ staff having low accuracy.

There was an experimental setup suggested earlier, but the concept of magic accuracy "score" was not made clear. Without boring with details, what pchan meant was that given 65 INT, you should have 290+5 additional magic accuracy (from combat skill and equipment only; no one merits earth magic accuracy) to have around 55% landing rate (no resist) with Stone I on the Poulterer with the correct level. Then with a HQ staff you should have 85% landing rate, and with Teiwaz a 95% landing rate is expected.

After checking the Qiqirn Poulterers, it appears it's the level 78 Poulterers (200 base EXP, 210 EXP with 5% sanction bonus b/c of shitty server) that should be targeted because the lower-level ones have lower than 65 INT (62 INT; 160 base EXP for level 77 and 130 base EXP for level 76). Someone did gather data on the earth Teiwaz, but now I'm not sure the correct-level Qiqirn was targeted.

With 263 melee accuracy (including combat skill, DEX, etc.), the lv 78 Qiqirn should still check "high evasion" while the others won't.

Later I will give some data with a HQ earth staff to validate the conditions set forth in the first paragraph.

Conditions: Terra's Staff, 292 elemental magic skill, 5 magic accuracy, 63 INT (to offset extra skill)

No resist: 57
Half: 12
Quarter: 2
Total: 71

Obviously not at capped landing rate (57/71). Need confirmation that previous data on earth Teiwaz was obtained for a level 78 Qiqirn and appropriate conditions.

Preliminary testing did suggest that they're more accurate than the HQ staves, though I think the results ended up being somewhat questionable due to testing procedure... I'll dig it up real quick.

Those numbers seem a bit sketchy...

I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Is there a hidden effect? Because 1 MAcc is not equal to an NQ staff.

Ok so im slightly confused about something with these staves, and was hoping someone here could enlighten me. ^^ If people want Mag. Acc. why not go for the one from trial 1741? MP +75 Mag. Acc. +16 I'm obviously missing something here, but dont know what. Surely its not just to have +1 dmg?

Well for one even HQ elemental staffs have more macc than that. 2nd element affinity: Magic accuracy +4 is ALOT more than 4 macc for earth spells. As far as I can tell based on limited testing I've seen and paralells to the dmg side 1 elemental affinity is equivalent to NQ staff 2 is equivalent to HQ. Which would put 3 at better than HQ. If it follows like that 4 should be around 50macc or so.

Bumping this to see if anyone has done these staves? I have a question about the Status Ailment trials. Does the ailment need to K.O. the mob, or just be active at time of death? Do I need to cast the ailment, or just have the ToM staff equiped? Thanks for the help.

You need only successfully use the ailment on the mob before it dies. It does not even have to be present when it dies. This was my question too, and I was able to test this on the weekend vs Bugards for Trial 850 in Abyssea. On two mobs, paralyze dropped before the mob died and I was unable to recast in time before it was killed, but the kill still counted. --Nightxade 13:08, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
