TP Bonus weapons - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Now this new item makes a TP skill seem like 100 TP more than it normally is. So your 200TP Spirits Within is like a 300 TP Spirits Within. It caps at 300TP...but does the bonus stack with itself?

Would a 100TP skill...assuming you had the Marital Bow in ranged and Marital weapon in hand...be like 300TP skill? or would the bow's bonus only apply to its ranged attack.

By the same fact...would dual weilding the same Martial weapon produce the same effect?

Are you sure about this? IMO it sounds way too overpowered, I was assuming that TP Bonus was something similar to Store TP, gaining more TP per hit...

I can't test this out myself, but I'd really appreciate it if someone else could test this out.

That seems like an extremely obvious exploit; so obvious I'm very sure you can't.

I'm also pretty sure that having a martial weapon like a bow in your ranged won't pass any TP bonus to your main (if non-martial) weapon, and vice versa. I doubt SE is that stupid.

Shall we talk about the subligar selling for more than you bought it at?

I'm not calling SE stupid, but sometimes things are used not as they intended *cough*Utsusemi*cough*. Still it helps to have it fully tested anyway

I dunno what subligar you're thinking of, but I've never had that happen.

Utsusemi is a different circumstance as the application is much less direct with plusses and minuses subbing nin vs. other jobs, and very limited at utsusemi:ichi until lvl 37. For martial weapons, TP bonus when you have 100% tp is very up front and it's very obvious in its effects.

In Tavnazian Safehold, you can buy two subligars. You could technically for a short time buy the subligar, then resell it somewhere else for more gil than you spent buying it. Spend enough time doing runs or sending subligars to mules and such and you could accumulate a decent amount of money.

The obvious effects are sometimes seen through different lenses. The Asuran Fists spam before the TP fix. SE didn't see that coming and they corrected it.

I just want to know if there is a bug with marital weapons

People do this all the time with just about every item. Simple business of supply and demand. I don't see this as an expoit, bug, or even unethical.

Ashuran fists got fixed really quickly. I don't see or hear anything about the martial weapons having obvious, or any ********.

*edit* That's wierd, it got censored... :confused:

The subligar was being sold to vendors for more than you could buy it from other vendors, that was the problem.

Its not the same as buying something on the AH in one town and selling it for more in another.

It was a "bug" and they fixed it.

What if the martial weapon is dual wielded?

WAR and DRK have access to both the 1 handed sword and axe martial weapon.

Does this mean that if a WAR/NIN dual wield the Martial Anelace and Martial Axe, he can fire off full power Spirits Within whenever he reaches 100% TP?

Or he can dual weild the Anelace or the Axe twice. The Marital weapons aren't rare so you can dual weild them. So far we've had no answers though on if the effect stacks

iglak · 03-10-2005, 11:40 PM

it's unlikely that the effects stack.
the effect probably only works for weaponskills used by that weapon. dunno though.

LordBiGGs · 03-13-2005, 10:04 PM

yea, i would assume the bonus is only on the main weapon. sub probably wouldnt effect it. so using a martial main would give tp boost, martial sub would do nothing since its not involved in ws.

l)@RK-l)EVIL · 03-20-2005, 02:27 AM

The effect dont stack i tested it not workin

Alauna · 04-01-2005, 01:18 PM

Correct. The "TP Bonus" applies to Weapon Skills, thus only applies to 1 weapon at a time. I have yet to see a Ranged WS that involved the Main Weapon, or a WS that involed both the Main, and the Sub.

When dual weilding, some weapon skills gain an extra hit. Rampage I believe is one of them
