My LS was popping outside jailers in sea today, and this dropped.

Haven't had much experience with sea, so this was my first time seeing it so all I can wonder is, "What the hell will a BRD, PUP and SMN need +7 AGI for?"

Ever wondered why you can't just kick a Chigoe over a hedge as it's bouncing on its way down? Or why a DRG can jump, but if the DRG jumps on a Quadav, it won't shoot out of it's shell in a Super Mario kinda way?

I'd really like to see the jumping on Quadavs glitch fixed in the next update please. Thanks in advance, Reeve

Ever why bats continue flapping their wings and flying when you've put them to sleep? Or any flying mobs. =o

It is so the BRD and SMN can level staff....and have somewhat of an evasion, or parrying. The +7 AGI is really for nothing, but its an excellent skillup staff. So, Mr. Ugly Avatar guy, you fail to realize the actual reason why people would like that staff....

PUP wielding this staff is obviously the key to defeating Absolute Virtue.

Why don't they give us moves like amnesia for mobs? That would be a cool spell for Blu imo.

I have been told that Deoderize will cover the smell of blood to prevent HP aggro.

I've actually had success and failure using Deodorize to avoid blood aggro. Not really sure why or what the conditions are to use it succesfully for that purpose.

Perhaps it has to do with yellow/orange/red hp or something to do with what kind of mob you're trying to avoid?

Maybe it just lessens the aggro range of blood aggro? Cause I noticed I was able to walk a lil closer to undead before they aggroed as opposed to the typical aggro from 3254978230582 miles away with yellow HP.

Why can SAM use the relic bow and get access to the most powerful Archery WS, but can't even use Flaming Arrow without /RNG?

Why bother using Ecphoria ring to remove Amnesia when there's a delay after using an item until you can use a JA or WS?

Why don't the gods summoned by Kirin have normal drops?

Why don't mobs in the WotG areas drop Ancient Currency or Relic Armor? It's the same time period as Dynamis!

Why are NPCs so controlling they don't let you name your Wyvern or Automaton on your own, and only give you a short list to pick from?

This is more of a stab at JP players than the game itself, but why do they all act like NA and EU players are jackasses if they don't use the auto-translator, yet they refuse to use it?

Why do dragons, one of history's most feared and powerful mythical creatures, all look anorexic?

This is because the Auto-Translate was made specifically for the NAs to communicate more smoothly in game. It's easier--MUCH, MUCH MORE easier for us as NAs to actually make use of the Auto-Translate function: type a word "Take," and the Auto-Translate basically comes out {Take care." For the JPs, they pretty much have to type out "気を付けてください (kiotsukeru kudasai)" and THEN tab key to auto-translate it out. Imagine having to do that JUST to communicate to an NA during a really busy party.

That, and JPs really do understand more English than we do Japanese, ESPECIALLY Hiragana, unless you've taken the time to study it XD

Why do dragons, who are known for being heavy armor elitest, cannot wear a hauby?

Why mages get screwed out of anything good, like in sky or limbus, gear wise yet the most important jobs needed?

Bastok...I thought we already established this. ; )

Why do we chase after a mob that is roaming for 10minutes getting the "the <t> is out of range", while gobs (dunes anyone) or any other mob can nail us as we run for our lives?

To answer this, the reason is simply because of the latency of the server receiving data from the client on the position of your character, meanwhile the server is always up to speed on it's own end, so even if it looks like we're right behind it, we're technically just out of range to hit it =/ Works both ways for when we have aggro too x.x

You know now that you mention it, I always wondered what that blank target was for at the broken pillar for the byakko steps. Is that for some relic weapon cutscene i'm unaware of?

its so if you bind or sleep a mob and run out of sight, you pop deodorize, sneak and invis, he SHOULD lose hate. I've done this many times, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I know bees work just about every time.

A way to get around this, if your following a mob trying to hit it, take off auto-target, and run to the side and ahead of it, you'll smack it mid-step.
