[AntAnt]

What is latent effect??

If its good, we have a replacement for 1 of our drone earings.

Beater's Earring
Lvl.30 All Jobs
Latent effect : Ranged Accuracy+3

Its dropped by a BCNM 30 using Sky Orb


What is latent effect -_-?

[Trimpton]

Latent effect could be any circumstance that must be filled - Some are low life below 100 tp etc, etc -- Usually means low life red or yellow with low tp.

there seems to be a lot of new latent effect stuff that's out. Rune Arrow for example... latent effect.... vit +1? >_>

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Latent effect = :confused: :confused:

[Fuzzbox]

latent effects are only active when your HP is yellow or worse (i.e. less than 75% full) AND your TP is less than 100%

they are half decent for farming but in an exp party situation there are generally much better equipments to be used.

i wish they would make a +4 ranged acc earing and stop messing around. There are no choices past lvl 35, unless you want -30% dmg taken.

[poweryoga]

isn't that latent effec too?

Actually, it seems that the latent effect LV 30 earring [+2VIT] gives the PLD in my PT +2VIT all the time. I'm thinking that the latent effect simply means it only works on certain jobs, just like the +3RNGACC possibly only working on Rangers.

[poweryoga]

much harder to find out whether 3 acc works or not...

All of the new lvl 30 Latent Effect earrings are activated by using certain subjobs. The PLD in the party was subbing WAR, so the Mercenary's Earring he was using gave him +2 VIT. In the same way, if you subbed /RNG you would get +3 R. Accuracy while using Beater's Earring.

My recommendation for all you RNG/NIN, get a Genin Earring asap, +4 AGI when subbing Ninja.

Where is a list of subjobs to latent effect names?

So then the list for subjobs would be :

Ashigaru Earring = Parrying skill +5 = /SAM
Wizard's Earring = Elemental magic skill +5 = /BLM
Esquire's Earring = DEF +5 = /PLD
Killer Earring = Attack +5 = /DRK
Genin Earring = AGI +4 = /NIN
Singer's Earring = Evasion +5 = /BRD
Trimmer's Earring = Accuracy +5 = /BST
Healer's Earring = Enmity -1 = /WHM
Beater's Earring = Ranged Accuracy +3 = /RNG
Pilferer's Earring = DEX +2 = /THF
Mercenary's Earring = VIT +2 = /WAR
Magician's Earring = MP +30 = /SMN
Wrestler's Earring = HP +30 = /MNK
Warlock's Earring = MP Regen +1 = /RDM
Wyvern Earring = Haste +5% = /DRG

I got that from reading other's posts. It maybe wrong though.

ofcoarse, half of those are useless since most of those aren't viable subs. :spin:

[JayblahX]

No kidding. :mad:

Curse them for putting 5% haste on Dragoon earrings.

To bad its on a subjob no Monk would ever use, otherwise Monks with even more haste...

[Melkor]

So they only take effect to your subjobs and not main job?
I thought the +Vit was a Paladin, not Warrior earring?
Wouldnt help us Rng/War much =D
