Doubt many people can spot the difference between the two by looking at it.
I don't know what 'many people' can spot, but in my opinion it's pretty easy to see.
People with fast follow or multisend or any other tool that bypasses server latency don't have a clear leader and follower structure. It's an amalgation of characters on top of each other where the leader changes based on who sent the most recent position update packet. The lack of collision looks odd in itself, since even without JA0 the fact you don't see the other character's real position before you run to it lets you bunch up weirdly. Using vanilla follow without JAzero doesn't bunch up your characters nearly as closely and you can clearly identify which is the leader.
I don't think a GM is particularly likely to care, but if the concern is whether people know you're using it.. yea, they know. |

Being followed doesn't mean anything nor is it detectable. You can easily claim you had the others on /follow which is built in.
Doubt many people can spot the difference between the two by looking at it.

Which part? Using follow or that FF have weird behavior unintentionally?

I never understand people using this.
It's so obvious to everyone else around you that you're using it, it's undeniable. I'll risk getting half my characters stuck on a corner ery day before I risk losing all of the accounts cause a GM saw me using something so obvious like this.
People already don't like multiboxing, why would you give them a stick to hit you with.

Fujito definitely strikes me as the kinda person to start toying with unannounced FOMO campaigns to juice DAU (daily active user) numbers

ya I noticed some strangely low exp the other day while duo, level synced to ML20 both set to 135, normally chaining 600-700 per kill depending on how high the chain was but was getting some 300s mixed in, I'm always careful not to fight anything someone else pulled.
I agree it seems to keep them tagged, sometimes for extended periods of time.

_addon.version = '1.2.3'
I was having issues remmebering how I fix the issues with the sparks addon where I am stuck "still buying last item" so I ran my 4 characters to S Gustaberg from B markets. One character soft locked at the zone line getting to Gustaberg, the second was dropped about the middle of the map and could not return to bastok markets via the entrance due to "You could not enter the next area" error. Warp ring fixed 2nd character issue. Neither of these were the character being followed. 3rd/4th character had no issues. I believe this was 1/4 morning because I spend my sparks last minute. I assumed this was due to the sparks addon.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but basically I've had a similar experience, and generally what causes the discrepancy is 1 of 2 things.
Either, the mobs were recently aggro'd by or claimed by someone with a higher Master Level than you, and the game though it resets their HP and level, still has them tagged as hit by an ML50.
OR
A character in your party is set to a lower Limbus level than you, and has aggro'd or gotten first action on them first, causing them to be a lower level than you have set on your main.
I see the former situation whenever a multi-boxer or an actual party chains the whole zone to the porter. They kill what they need and go up. The mobs deaggro, and reaggro onto me at 135, but I get lower Exemplar because they were hit/touched by ML50s.
I see the latter situation when I'm in a party with someone who forgot to switch their level back up, and they aggro something or pull instead of me.

This is strange, guess they needed to juice their numbers a bit but decided to fall short of a bonanza giveaway.

That sounds like a much better way to do it. Is there any chance this could be made public or merged into the main version? Depends if the repo owner is still around and can accept a pull request.
The solution is mentioned here (I assume its the one Dodik was referring to)

Are they really exactly the same level? /check them and see if they all are very tough or if some are IT or VT++ for example.

a little late in more ways than one
this is how I was doing dyna d daily before the nerf to aoe damage
I haven't tried once since that update
YouTube Video Placeholder
was making great gil
kinda just dont want to be disappointed if the aoe dmg is lower because it would slow everything down but im sure it is
still id imagine the strategy would work fine it would just be slower and make less gil, the enemies would start at 100% not 40-50% and no unleash for a quick group kill. |

I think it's a given that Tahrongi NMs are the worst but I've really come to hate Orthrus/Alfard/Apadamak over time. You have to farm so many items, the resentment really builds up over time.
There were far worse magian trials to complete, so trying to declare which one was 'worse' is mostly subjective. They are all still better than waiting for a certain vana'diel day or camping a weather forecast lol |

I don't think they realized how silly it would be to give people's mules an Impish Box that can't be sent to the same account.
I don't think it's that silly, just makes me think the rainbow chest was always intended to serve more as a bonus for actual main characters, and not mules. Wouldn't surprise me if they went out of their way to try to set the rainbow rewards to be more valuable to a real character who plays the game.
Impish Box on a main capable of doing endgame content isn't that bad of a freebie, everyone doing the fight gets some nice exemplar points and a shot at the body. A consistent likelihood of Impish Box on my actual main is preferable to me over the 1-in-1000 chance of something worthwhile from normally opening the Gobbiebox.
There's still some theoretical value in mules getting a better chance at high tier items than otherwise from rainbow, and those items are sendable. And of course, the individual daily FES key rewards (non-rainbow) are something. That's not valuable enough to me to bother on the mules though.
Silver vouchers on mules also don't move the needle at all for me. Even for mules that were leveled up to do AMAN trove, logging in 10 times and doing event crap for a single silver voucher is not it, especially when considering how much less effort it takes to get a voucher from the easy monthly RoE objectives (and I already generally don't bother to do that).
I guess I just didn't expect the rainbow chest/FES Key event to be something where it would actively discourage mules from doing with this unusually high Impish-Box ratio.
On the subject of silver vouchers, I can see that too and I agree. A while back, we'd have silver voucher campaigns which meant, you simply logged in for a silver voucher, and that was just too hard to pass up. (AMAN Troves is still my favorite event in FFXI since logging out to POL and playing the Triad Card game).
Still, I don't like actively being discouraged to use my $1 mules for seasonal events. Or in other words, I don't mind using my mules in a constructive way.
Just dont toss the box on your mule and gather up the silver vouchers instead |

Monk's Verethragna a close-second
If your alt(s) have Godhands (or access to getting them), you can skip out on Verethragna. That hasn't been a contender in quite a while.
Hell, I would probably use Karambit over Verethragna these days. |

Heavy lag, FF and zoning will 100% soft lock and POS hack the following characters.
Easy way to trigger is in besieged and the Al Zahbi zone to Wajaom.
There are some not public versions of FF kicking about that move the characters by running instead of injecting a zone packet which fixes that.
That sounds like a much better way to do it. Is there any chance this could be made public or merged into the main version? |

Rev up those alts and *** skip Chloris!
Hey now, don't forget Glavoid! This is the motivation I needed to make an Ukonvasara :P
Did my Chloris Buds for Verethragna last time these were on login points back in 2022 (and I was still a little salty to end up with 49 and have to farm ONE of them myself lol), Twashtar Glavoid Shells was the one before that. |

I have been doing solo runs (with trusts)on my SCH for 2 months or so. At first, A boss was taking about 20 mins and E boss about 40 mins(was doing in 2 runs).
I slowly got better and yesterday, i managed to do A boss in 4 mins and E boss in 9 minutes.
For A boss, I made a DT/engaged accuracy set and I melee it. I start 10k+ non MB Helix, then a Immanence SC and I close it with Black Halo for gravitation. If stratagems are not up, I nuke in between. 4 mins.
For E boss, I helix non MB 10k+ then kite and immanence sc gravitation. I double MB Stone V and stone IV. I try to cast almost non stop. When mp low, I use Tabula. It gives back mp and unlimited strats. After that, I use sublimation. I always have a Vile Elixir +1 on me if needed. I didnt use it yesterday. 9 mins.
I managed to get A boss + Esurient Botulus + E boss + A - B- C NMs.
I feel like I am the beginning of this Journey. SCH +2 Empy set achieved through soloing here. I can spank A boss easily, takes me about 10 mins (at a guess, haven't timed it) and then I do ABCD mini NMs and change.
Botulus charmed me twice, so gave up on him. Was that just bad luck, i've read others dont see charm as much, or did I do something wrong?
E boss. Two tries, two fails (without Metal #E) as Regen can normally heal through most of it, but i eventually lost at about 30-40%. Likely a skill issue, but its a *** when you can only enter once a day to practice - at best. Real life means its much less frequently, so its a slow slog.
Can you share gear and or any tips on how you are landing 10k Non-MB Helix to open with?? |

Not familiar with the addon, but likely to check for equipped ammo but only be searching the inventory bag and not the wardrobes. (as a theory anyways).
Should be simple to test.
Nope it's in my inventory. |

Even for the people who got their $1 characters to 99 for silver vouchers, I don't see a benefit to earning Master Levels on an a $1 mule (or even earning the Guiave Meat from Peach Power) ....so strange, SE.

I have a different problem and as a result I try to always disable FastFollow before zoning, although sometimes I still accidentally zone before I'm able to disable it. If I zone my characters using FastFollow, whether crossing from one overworld zone to another or just entering the Mog House, most of the time at least one character will get a black screen and I have to force-quit POL and log the character back in. I've used FastFollow for about a year and a half and this has always happened during that entire time, so I've assumed that it isn't wise to use FastFollow on zoning. Are most people using FastFollow able to zone without problems? Is there some way to avoid the black screen consistently? I have my characters follow me at a 0.7 distance, I don't know if the distance matters.
There were also a couple times many months ago where a character ended up in a different zone than the others, but I don't remember exactly when.
