It didn't address the issue anyway.

There is no issue except in people's heads. Like usual.

I meant the issue that the units don't play nicely with percentages other than 25. You're always + or - instead of just being able to reach 256/1024

Just always make it X2 and it'd always be in favor of the player, literal nonissue. It would always be over 256 and no one would've ever said a word about overcapping.

In 75 you could've had 1 extra haste if you had 5 pieces, awe jeeze. Pre salvage there was like 10 total pieces in game with haste on it. (not literally) Homam Dusk Blessed and a handful of belts.

And yet people were paying 600k in 2010 for a simple BCNM drop.

I dont think the lifting was all that heavy, try hitting the gym tubbs.

You had Speed Belt for the elite exclusive, Fuma Kyahan and MNK Belts, Swift Belt came later when people started progressing through the CoP missions in larger numbers. The only other Haste option was /DRG Wyvern Earring, but /DRG was a useless sub back then, and unless you stacked haste, it was not very noticeable. Zeal cap/sadhu bracelets came later.

The real pre-haste-gear days was DRK using Scythe in Deco Weapon Ru'Avitau camp doing the engage/disengage glitch. Back then, there was no delay between engaging and disengaging, so you could basically spam attack button and bypass delay repeatedly. This is what the poor DDs who couldn't afford speed belts and the full haste setup used to do.

A bit later but haste was always scarce back in the day.


These days it's pasted all over everything, but they could have just put it all where it fits perfectly... on a single piece.

being able to reach 256/1024

Do you care about being +1 higher accuracy than what you need to cap with?

So just to update because I'm stubborn, did another Ameretat, putting me at 5 kills now (maybe 4)

9 vines (1 char has both drops, so 11 vines), 1 mask putting me at

3 masks (and none of them are on one of the 2 the chars that has the lotto pop body)
2 leggings

By char:
neither
mask
neither
mask
both
leggings


This is not worth it lol. I'm giving it an honest *** effort here, double dipping every kill with a key, but giving personal loot tied behind a ***drop rate is ***. Noobs would be better off doing Omen for cards and gil or Ambuscade for freebies (total HM) and gil. They could have added an actual loot pool on the NM as well for that drop that is being stubborn.
