I guess there are still some cultured people in this forum

I can't comment on the bp delay because I don't have this gear, the lowest I've personally gotten is 21 seconds. But what I can say about the level +, I believe the calculation for I-level pets is each level+ after 119 is +10 to all stats, with the amount for acc, evasion, attack, magic acc being roughly double that.

The matters are what kill this content IMO.

5 sets, 5 pieces, each needing 30murky/30alabaster. This is game that thrives on players playing multiple jobs.

The grind should have been behind the Shards, Crafted material and units. Yes, you could buy two thirds of that off the AH and bot the last part but it would still take years to cap your sets especially as you get to rank25+.

This would also give players a great source of gil for their time and they could slow release other accessories that make use of the matters.

I am kinda struggling with this question myself, playing alt characters with my friend, our party is pup rdm bst (not meta, for fun!), our gear is a mix of empy+2/+3, relic +3/+4, af+3/+4. no ody gear, 2 characters have master, low ML (10)

after doing several limbus runs, trying it as different CL119-135 im just quite honestly bored, or a better word exhausted after doing a whole run, pop the chest and 2 of 3 people : 'you get nothing! No matter for you'.

Its just the biggest f-you and disrespect of my time and its really soured me on limbus. The content would be dead to me if we didnt have the jp community being nice and shouting where the ground sparkly ??? are at for tenemos and appolyon every couple days for 3k pts.

And so this new gear comes out and it needs like a ton of things from these chests that dont always give stuff? and I have to full clear all sections and floors to augment rank it, where the good augmentations only kick in at the last 5-10 ranks????? lmao gtfo here with this game design.

Even if you gave me the hq2 version of the armor for free, the thought of how many times id have to grind thru this zones to augment it? yea im good, sounds like too much of a grind for me still.

The problem with the new Limbus gear is this: Who is it for?

SE have stated that Limbus is intended to be content that fresh 119s can scale up as they go, but from actually doing the content we know that this isn't the case. A solo player with three Trusts will take well over 2 hours to clear either zone and they cannot ever hope to fight any of the NMs (and certainly not help out in the basement). So, the only items they possibly have access to is the accessories for one matter each (and continue to be upgraded with one matter each rank). Without actual highly geared players / groups to actually kill the NMs this is as far as "new 119" players can go as the chests would never upgrade.

Consider that a fresh 119 can easily get a few thousand gallimaufry in Sortie for just 1 hour spent each day and the Emp +2 / +3 gear (plus a chance at earrings) is far superior to anything you can get in Limbus in terms of strengthening your character and getting ready for bigger things. You don't even need to fight any bosses to do this, you just need to know how the easier chests work. So, for less time spent each day you get vastly superior gear.

In order to do Limbus faster you would need Odyssey gear, and quite frankly if you have access to R0 Odyssey sets you don't gain much from the Limbus sets - as many have said, it is side-grade city for a hell of a lot more work / time.

I just don't understand who the gear is for. It certainly isn't for fresh 119s as SE says they are because they have no way to actually obtain anything other than the accessories (and their time is better spent elsewhere, be it Sortie or Odyssey). It isn't for people who are already able to fight the NMs straight up as their gear already surpasses what Limbus offers. Upgrading armor pieces is actually worse than making Prime Weapons in terms of commitment and that seems very, very backward.

I was potentially interested in a Duty Crown for an extra few percent TA and STP for my MNK TP set, but I'm not spending 3+ months of Limbus every day to do so, especially as it comes at the cost of less overall DT and going slightly below the Subtle Blow cap, meaning it would only come out in content that is trivial anyway. This is a clear sign to just upgrade the ring / earring if you are so inclined and call it a day.

Lots of the pieces are not side grades at all. They are clearly better. Especially if you don't plan to use Ampulla. Not to mention lots of pieces has several use cases.

Same on Asura, LS member was mentioning this

This thought is the base issue, because its flawed. You DO get things for the NMs dying → upgraded chests, therefore able to get rewards and the gear. But noone wants to view it that way, they rather view it as "NM dies, nothing falls to me in that instance"

But this probably won't cause issues on smaller servers that take days to kill the NM tiers, but for the mid-large servers it will now create a situation that, if you aren't there on spawn at JST midnight, you will miss out on these extra rewards.

Not only that, but now that this point system is tied directly to damage, the army of whm and schs will either have to be in a party with DDs or they won't be coming on whm or sch to raise and keep everyone in the battle. I imagine this is going to cause more deaths and more home points.

The incentive tone isn't for the good of maintaining the chests, the sellable mats are already that. This is if you don't participate, then you're going to miss out and your already absurdly long upgrade process will suffer for it.

On Shiva its been more or less a couple players that carried the whole server for kills and they get nothing for it. If this means players will get more incentives to actually help the server to keep the chest upgrades, that's a good thing.

Or am I missing something?

"yeah I cut its head off and I'm wearing it as a hat, problem?"

"As part of these updates, we are adding a new kind of points that are based on how much damage you inflict against the notorious monsters.

This points system is a direct response to your request for a reward structure tied to actions such as inflicting damage on the notorious monsters within Limbus. Once you have earned the required number of points, you will be able to open one additional treasure chest. This will increase the pace at which you can earn the matter needed to reforge your equipment. Plus, these points do not expire, so you can keep them until they're needed. Additionally, the Grace buffs within Limbus increase incrementally depending on the total number of treasure chests opened in the World, so the more that are opened, the stronger the effect will be.

These points are awarded not only when you inflict damage on the notorious monster, but when your party members do as well. I recommend you form a party and take on the monsters together if you're using a job with lower attack strength."

I hope everyone who complained about no personal reward is happy.

Has anyone bothered to see if the legs give an extra favor tier? If delay goes below 20 seconds? You can do it with the NQ. Otherwise, is there any value in the new limbus armor? Only body looks close, but I'm not sure. Is the +1 to avatar level worth anything?

7, 14(resonating on M02), 16 are what I used to obtain the belt and earring. The maze also has 17, 18, 51, 71 and 94 to completely fill it out in case a more difficult enemy meant higher drop rate.

Gold box. Got a single shard, nothing else, across two characters. Both were 3k boxes at 135. Did 119 previously and got several drops on both, 3k + 5k (though the 5k wasn't anything special).

Actually, speaking of MMM, trying to farm a Lycopodium Earring is driving me insane. Someone give me a hand with this, let me know if I'm missing anything. I am literally, no exaggeration, 0/345 so I must be (love you, mazecount.lua, thanks to Kayte who posted that!)

I am currently using this:

(in text form, that's 7, 14, 16, 17, 18, 100, nothing else - 7 for plantoid, 14 to make it the Flytrap, 16 to allow Lycopodium Earring to drop, 17+18 are higher level, 100 is go faster / more rewards)

to match this screenshot:
https://www.ffxiah.com/screenshots/82770

I have also tried:
-using 13 (Great Warrior) instead of 14 (Tiny Warrior), which gives the Goobbue instead of the Flytrap.
-adding combinations of 101 (less time), 104 (no spells), 103 (no abilities) to get more marbles.

I have not tried:
-094 (Lost and Found) because per Byrth's research (and hey you just posted here maybe you can confirm this):
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/User:Byrthnoth_/_Sandbox#Voucher_7:_Kill_a_NM

setting Lost and Found lowers drop rate on the actual items.

I just noticed the New Years guide is missing directions for how to get Hoary Spire during the event.


I've copied this from the the 2008 New Years Guide:

I think there are a couple gear winners, bard and dark knight But holy crap, that's a lot of energy for a side grade..

I've been cucked by seven 3k boxes this week and not one has contained more than three total items: Shard (seems guaranteed 1x from 3k box, 2x from 5k box), Hydro Oil, and Matter. I have never been capped.

Being capped on units doesn't really imply anything. You could be capped on units and only have done a handful of climbs (if any) just by grabbing the ??? every couple days.

Oh *** - JohnB - My guy how are yah ~!

Bro really brought a server rack to a consumer expo - what a *** loser - Keep that ***for the business expos and when you do a consumer one act like it - *** shitty *** ngreedia

Ok so after some messing around, I am able to get FFXI + Windower + Reshade working on both a 32-bit and 64-bit prefix on Ubuntu. Laptop was a quad core intel cpu, 16GB of ram and a 960M with 2GB of VRAM (yes it's old). Display was 1440p, without reshade it was 40~60 FPS, reshade brought it down to 30~40 FPS with my presets. Was also able to get other unspecified third party tools working flawlessly.

Ended up using a simple startup script that an icon on mydesktop points to. Both start-ffxi.sh and start-ffxi64.sh just reference their specific prefixs and install locations.

start-ffxi64.sh

start-ffxi.sh


Winetricks made this easy by just clicking to install the requirements from the FFXI linux page, only using dotnet48. Ubuntu has wine / winetricks available so just apt get wine wine64 winetricks. Then type in winetricks and you can create a new prefix, mount folders into prefixs, and install libraries and run explorer.exe where you install FFXI / Windower exactly the same way you do on MS Windows.

Can't believe so many people are capped on units. I mean, I can, but still.

It was a 5k box and you were capped on units.
