We are all old enough that a thread asking how old we are turns into a "how to stop aches and pains" thread on page 1.
As the kids say these days, we're just a bunch of "old people born in the 1900s." |

Since Malignance gloves have much more STP than other pieces, I'd probably do: Body > Feet > Head > Legs > Hands, assuming that the augments work the way we think they do.

Odin now, huh?
Can we get odds on the next server to be somehow overrun?
Genuinely, what’s the end goal of closing down a 3rd server and when does it end? This feels like a lazy fix to a problem SE don’t want to address. Ultimately it’ll just end up hurting the game if SE closes every server they deem too big. You can only funnel people into smaller servers so much - especially without any incentive to leave a higher pop server. |

Great advice Otomis. I've been doing exactly the same things. The biggest one that has improved my life is getting off social media. These forums are the only place that I post/read anything. I don't doom-scroll any social media, I have an extension on my browser that hides comments on YouTube. I've eliminated all sources of outside influence on my thoughts and I have never felt so clear headed and present in my daily life.
After healing your mind by removing social media, diet and exercise are the next important ones. Find a way to get exercise that isn't traditional exercise, you want to find something you enjoy doing. I personally really like using Virtual Reality, something like Beat Saber or FitXR. I've got heartrate data from 30mins on an elliptical vs 30mins of Beat Saber. They're so similar it's shocking and 30mins absolutely flies by in VR.

I dunno about the order. I think personally I would go body > hands/feet > legs > head.
Would love to read more opinions on this!

Thanks for the replies. I really havent payed much attention to limbus in a while so am behind of the latest and greatest gear. I am starting to do Limbus more and was doing quick and dirty to figure out how valuable Sworn would be for me.. Some of the other sets look neat for other jobs but Hoxne is just OP and love it. Maybe sworn is better for BLU DRK though i use Hoxne for them also.
If i started on the sworn is there an order i should go in? Looks like currently R30 just one piece will take a long time.

From my analysis, I agree that Sworn + Hoxne will be behind Malignance + Hoxne, but not by much. The enspell will add some extra damage, but it will still lag behind just a little.
Sworn will have a lot of extra benefits (higher def/meva/hp/etc., extra TA will drop the cost associated with Hoxne by about half), so I'm still working on 5/5 Sworn.
One thing that will be hard to judge with sims is that with Malignance + Hoxne it is VERY easy to over cap TP. Getting both TA procs in one round is ~800TP, and you are often over 1750 TP. With Sworn you shouldn't have as much TP overflow. This should close the gap a little, but it is hard to gauge this impact.

The throwaway rmt farmers in absolute shambles. I'm too lazy to go look but I would guess gil prices on Asura are probably 3-4 times the price they were on Odin.
Now that will change.

i hope to get some better insight if I can please. Sworn gives you more acc and more defensive stats than Malignance with the addition of 34% TA and 41 en-spell damage, at the cost of 50 STP.
Slightly different if you mixed Malignance with Bunzi's Hat but you get what I mean.
Now normally, at least on a hunch, I would have zero doubt on wearing full Sworn, which also gets you to, what, around ~75% TA with capped Temper2?
But you're asking specifically for Hoxne Ampulla users. Which means that whenever you don't QA or TA, your DA is gonna be guaranteed.
Tough question. On a hunch I'd say the best result might be some mix and match?
I would take the result from the Damage Simulator with a grain of salt though.
Don't get me wrong Izanami's simulator is truly heavensent, but in the latest versions me and other people noticed that while it's still just as accurate with stuff like WS sets, magic sets etc, sometimes in some specific circumstances it's giving odd results with TP sets.
Is this the case here with your example? I can't say, just warning you in general. |

It depends how stupid people are (no question, but lets pretend!) A betting man would tell you option 1 is a 100% guarantee.
Do they do the dipshit move and just start flooding phoenix cause it's next in line.
Do they do the semi intelligent thing and go to quetz, cause it will take longer to become closed.
(*)Sidenote, I think that shiva is the fastest growing server, it used to be dead *** last but it's population has slowly doubled since 2018
Do they do the smart thing and advertise a proper server where they'll find the most help/helpful people (ragnarok)
((sorry chat, if it were my choice your server gets flooded next. Good with the bad. But they're stupid so you don't have to worry about it))
Or does square give up this idiocy before those can happen??
Don't give people any ideas.... Quetz is fine just the way it is!! We don't need any more people. Our quiet one-horse town where everyone knows everyone is perfect right now. |

Hoping to get some insight into where Sworn gear fits in for RDM if you have Hoxne Ammo. I have been using the damage sim for a bit and far as I can tell from the info it gives for a TP set using the ammo and a standard STP build like this one below it shows more STP and faster TP gain. I haven't tried adjusting for hybrid yet so maybe that is when sworn would pull ahead or maybe the enspell is more potent that i realize.
Was just looking at how fast you could generate TP and from what i can tell based on the sim below TP set is better than a sworn set.
I am sure I am missing something here and that is why i hope to get some better insight if I can please.
Code sets.tp['Hoxne'] = {
head=Bunzi.hd,
neck="Anu Torque",
lear="Crepuscular Earring",
rear="Dedition Earring",
body=Malignance.bd,
hands=Malignance.hn,

This seems so cool
Crazy how fans get so excited for nintendo doing the bare minimum when ppl can do this
YouTube Video Placeholder This looks neat, I'll have to check it out.
My wife was talking about wanting to get these for $30. I told her we should just go buy the actual cartridges from our local game store instead.
It got me thinking about how different gaming and owning games is now. I still have all my old systems and a bunch of games for them. I can pop in a cartridge and play anything whenever I want. Every PC game I've "purchased" for the past 15 years requires me to download it from Steam, sign into some launcher, download more stuff from them, then if I'm lucky I'll get to play it. More often I'm gonna be stuck trying to get my controller working, display setup correctly, graphic settings adjusted... I'm getting very close to becoming a console player again. PC gaming is frustrating these days.
I'm sure if society collapses and we lose the internet, I probably won't be putting many hours into Pixel Remasters, but GDI I want to have that option still! |

I used to take Advil a lot. Then I listened to a couple doctors and high level athletes on (trigger warning) Joe Rogan and they changed my mind. As I quit taking it 4-7 times per week, my headaches went away. After about a month of not taking it, I barely ever need it anymore. I've been off it for years.
Alcohol was another huge contributor for my perceived need for Advil. My body doesn't know what to do with that stuff anymore. I honestly don't miss it.

Quote: Sorry for the wait on this one! You can now check a chocobo's digging proficiency by referring to its Wing Skill.
This skill is processed internally within the game and is not displayed in the status window. As such, its level increases will be shown in the chat log, and you can also check the chocobo's current Wing Skill level at any time by speaking to the chocogals located in the chocobo stables in San d'Oria, Bastok, or Windurst. Our collective sicko voices have been heard!
...not really sure why they couldn't just put it back in the packet. |

I watched a video with a guy complaining they releasing the FireRed and LeafGreen for Switch for about 20~25$ each.
The complain is valid. After all, the relase was officially a emulator + rom on Switch: there were no mew content, no improvement, not even translation to portuguese.
It feels like Nintendo just asked y
To a trainee to do the laziest work possible, and decide to earn with for no real invesment.

I have a friend that uses that one after teleporting us out of Sortie a few times, works very well!
FWIW, if anyone is interested in this site growing, and me getting a curated list of addons out, I'd really appreciate people voting on their favourite addons. The plan is to eventually build out a page of "Top Addons", with each addon on that list being given a full explanation, command explanation, etc, which I feel is what people really want. It would be ridiculously impractical to do it for every addon on the list, nor frankly do I think every addon on the list even deserves that (I know sure as hell none of my attempts at addons do), but I do really need people to vote for their favourites so I can work out what needs that treatment. Thank you if you decide to take a few minutes to help me out. <3

So after a long, long, long time not using My MNK (ML45) I undusted it a bit yesterday for a 135 Temenos run.
What is the experience of everybody else without Prime?
I was surprised by a couple of >70k damage Howling fist and Tornado Kick, but my AVG WS damage on the full run was, according to parser, ~34k.
Considering I had just 4 songs for most of the run (and no Aria of Passion) I guess that's not too bad? Or is it? I was personally expecting less but maybe my expectations were wrong hey.
I tried R15 Vere for a few rounds, my initial idea was to ride R15 Vere with Impetus up and R15 Godhands when it's down, but the wait between going up > sneakinvi to the end > kill don't sync well with Impetus timers.
In the end I just fulltimed Godhands.
Vsmite did a few over 30k spikes but it was generally solidly around 22k damage.
Well, what can I say? Better than I expected but still noticeably lower than my RDM/DNC just shooting boring Savage Blades, so a bit depressing when you see things that way I guess lol

Good morning you, vibe coder. Also you, who are not a coder but an AI servant.
Also you, who are a stagnant coder. And you who are just an AI negationist.
There is still time to become a devout of our AI church.
Grab my pawn, that I will lead the path, and sell us your stinking soul.
It is not worth much anyway.

B is notoriously the worst zone for every aspect of Moogle Mastery farming for so many reasons. I'm gonna footnote the solution to this zone to save yourself time and frustration.*
For one, the layout is not ideal due to not being linear. For example, the goal is on B5, not 6. On certain floors, you have to go downstairs to progress to the next floor, or, in some cases, the floor splits between up and down, forcing you to choose where to explore. You basically lose 3 minutes if you guess wrong (if you're looking for a Halo). We used to have a Mambo'd RUN, THF or BLU with Hippo Shoes run and check on split floors for halos. They could check several flights of stairs worth of Nostos on B3 to find the halo fast, while the main group kills the first 2 groups of Nostos in the room by the fountain. This sped up the route significantly. On B4, the floor is a gigantic circle. There's no halo here, but it's just big for no reason and wastes a lot of time before you can travel through B5 to the next halo, which is another HUGE floor.
The mob types are also absurdly annoying (Sahagin, Tonberries, Antica). Also, I haven't parsed this particularly, but the Halo Beastmen have almost as much health as Agon C mobs (maybe 80-90k?). I distinctly remember them taking a long time to kill solo, even after 2-3 WS. They also have a damage resistance, so you will need to bring several weapon types to deal full damage. Way worse solo, though BLU is a great solo job for it.
In Sheol A, the Halos are on odd-numbered floors (1, 3, 5, 7), and there's a translocator on each floor, making travel to them easy, but in Sheol B the Translocator is either not on the same floor as Halo, or is in the most inconvenient spot imaginable (i.e. B3 the Translocator is at the second to last staircase, but the halo can be ALL the way at the bottom near the portal to B4). There is no B5 Translocator, so you have to warp to 6 then run back downstairs. If the Halo is at the bottom of B5, it will take you no less than 4 minutes to run from top of B6 to bottom of B5 with Bolters.
The NM gimmick is also ridiculously annoying (extra copies of itself). There's actually a cheese way to handle these with Valaneiral to make farming them faster)
The Mimics are also way harder in Sheol B; I distinctly recall it taking me roughly 10 minutes to solo a Mimic on THF years ago on the first floor, because they reset TP occasionally on normal attacks (and rip through trusts faster). It's better to just die and deal with weakness.
Speaking of Mimics, soloing MM for chests in this zone sucks. In Sheol A, you could use Trusts to hold the mimic while running over 30' and dying from a separate pack of mobs and then RR after. In B, the Mimics are so strong, they will kill your trusts faster and draw you in. They also reset hate occasionally on normal AAs. There's a very low chance you can get away from them solo like you can in Sheol A. Farming Aurums solo is a nightmare.
Everything about doing Sheol B will make you hate farming Moogle Mastery.
*Just form a static and commit to a specific path, and run it several times a week (i.e. THF chest farming, NM clearing, Nostos killing etc). You will eventually get better and be efficient, ranking MM up fast in no time.
Thanks for the tips Buukki. I'm almost done with Sheol A. MM 13 atm. Missing 8 more NM kills, 5 coffers. Unsure on Aurum, is that necessary to cap? If you need 40 Aurums to cap it's gonna take a while to reach from 14 to 15 but other than that I'm done.
My approach (solo) with Sheol A was simple.
Enter on BLU and summon trusts.
Find the NM pop thing. Kill 2-6 groups with Cruel Joke (eva idle setup, pull stuff, dream flower, Cruel Joke, rebuff while you wait 1 min. If the NM pop is in a good position, pop and start killing the NM while you wait.
Kill Agons on floor 1.
Go to floor 3, rinse & repeat (pulling less groups, even zero).
Go to floor 5 and kill the halo. At this point you should have ~40 Izzat.
Pop a chest, hope it pops a coffer. Open it and hope it pops an aurum. If it doesn't pop another chest > coffer and that's it.
If enough time go to the final exit on floor 7.
To save time, when possible, I was pulling Agons one by one (when they link it's even easier) with Silence or Dia2 accordingly. If Unbridled is up and the mobs around the halo allow it, group everything together and Dream Flower to Cruel Joke, and kill Agon one by one as you wait the cruel joke timer.
Now... I clearly cannot do this in Sheol B. Can't sleep halo, can't pull multiple groups because their acc is too high and my Eva won't be enough to survive. Except maybe 2-3 groups on floor 1.
It's gonna be super, super super annoying.
Like you said, need other people.
I'm not against grouping up, it's more a matter of finding people interested that know what they're doing and finding a time slot suitable for everyone.
With Sheol A I was going at random times whenever I actually had time myself to do it =/ |

(they could have better gear/know how to gear better, but I don't think that would explain the gap in WS damage that can be easily eyeballed)
Eyeball is not a good test. My WS avg during a recent Limbus run was 5k dmg higher as a Stage 4 Foenaria vs a Stage 5, but he had 25 more WS than me in Apollyon due to severe lag. He was also ML50 vs my ML34. Both Hoxne Ampulla and same gear/Nyame rank. Now, I probably was holding TP higher and maybe he was WSing at 1k for speed, so it could be any number of factors between the two that translates to the difference in damage. And this was comparing the same weapon and job. So with eyeballing Origin vs Torcleaver, it's not always going to be clearly obvious which WS is stronger just from looking at a log. From my personal experience, I haven't noticed a significant bump in damage between Origin and Torcleaver, but I would have to pay closer attention to it next time I use Caladbolg (which I rarely do anymore).
As another example of eyeballing and anecdotes, I've done a few Limbus runs with a Torcleaver DRK at I119 and he cannot 2shot any mob, ever, with 2 Torcleavers. Meanwhile, I always 2shot with 2 Origins (usually 1k and ~1600). This makes a significant difference in killspeed because 3 WS (or 2 WS and a ton of sitting around doing white damage) takes a hell of a lot longer than 2 WS.
If someone wants to put together some test data and share it, I'd love to see it, but IME Torcleaver's damage pales in comparison to Origin. I've been using Torcleaver for years and Origin is in another league. |
