If i want to break the latent on say, an uber heartsnatcher, and i sync to like level 20, do you still get ws points?
I looked on wiki and they dont have anything yet. Just wondering if anyone has stumbled accross a yes/no in any of the level sync threads.

I love good questions like this.
I can't foresee either way, but I know the latent on KSNM weapons goes away under cap.

Well with the new weaponskill checker program that surfaced not too long ago, it will be much easier to confirm whether or not you can obtain WS points in certain situations. Weapons that require points to "break" store the points on the weapon themselves, and the program reads that information (Which is stored into local memory and updates when you zone). With the program, it has been confirmed that you cannot gain points in Dynamis or Campaign.

Seriously, you won't be @#%^ing happy until SE releases a full sized Bahamut avatar you can @#%^ing ride and use to kill players that annoy you, one shot AV/PW/Shinryuu, and burn the FFXI nations to the @#%^ing ground for fun. All while actually restoring mp used instead of costing any.

The reason why that program surfaced was due to the new Mythic WS quests that require large amounts of points to be counted. With a floor 20 disc you need some 7000+ weaponskill points, and with that many points, there is bound to be user error. Plus the program allowed the community to figure out exactly how many ws points were needed per floor as there were conflicting numbers that were being posted.

I broke the latent on my trial weapon in a level sync party. The weapon gave me +hp even while synced and disappeared while level synced.

I can confirm this with my coffinmaker, I had 1 point. Level synced to 10, did one weaponskill, checked my points and it was at 2. So yes, you can break latents while under level sync.

I take it that campaign testing was with tags on, anyone know if you can get points if you use a WS while not wearing the tag?
O.o
God I would need that, I had broken sword with a friend in 2hr and solo axe in a week to break but it been almost 3 months and I still cant break dagger ;_; and still no latent break.

Where would one find this program?
edit: never mind... should have checked the "unspeakable" forums first. Thanks for the heads up.

If that's true, regarding Dynamis, then it must be new. I've broken two weapons in Dynamis (Axe, and Great Katana). I'm 98% sure you can get points in Dynamis. If it turns out I'm wrong about this I'll be extremely surprised.

Your 2% wins in this case. In order to receive points, a mob must award xp immediately upon defeat. Dynamis and Campaign mobs do not reward xp immediately upon defeat so there must have been some mistake in how you've broken a latent in Dynamis, since it's impossible save for some sort of glitch.
OK and I do know about the EP and above rule but am extremely surprised. I was there and believe you. It also makes sense as I don't recall obtaining xp off of Dynamis mobs.
Now I'm very curious how I broke those two weapons. If this was done outside of Dynamis then chalk it up to an old man's poor memory.

I've never tried to break a latent in Besieged so I don't know if it works or not. If it does, I have to chalk it up to the oddity of Besieged. After all, you can skillup in Besieged too.
You can skillup in dynamis also

ha, I knew I wasn't loosing my mind. In fact, I was beastmaster and broke my axe during Dynamis - Windurst. I'm pretty sure it was right in there. I was making a habit toward the end to constantly check the +element stats after every Rampage.
Ya I think it's just the fact that you are able to skill-up on the mob. But it is kinda nice to kno that weapons can be broken through Level Sync, was just getting on to post to ask if it did but I found this thread instead. ^^

Of course gotta be exp worthy being EP+
