Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Thanx dont know why id didnt post my reply

on drk in vw with 5% haste in atmas and last resort on what is the number in haste you need to cap in gear? should always have a brd cor in pt i know but would be good to know the numbers with and without. thx.

Another question.

Are any of the OAT, OA 1-4, or +11 DA weapons worth building for any job?

I hear OaT Polearm and GS are decent, but Idk from personal use or anything.^^;

DA axe is good for BST.

Which Salvage pieces are still relevant? Main one I see through skimming is Usu for MNK.

Particular jobs I care about: PLD, WHM, MNK, THF, DNC

Not sure if anyone has posted yet, but has anyone seen or know what that unnamed elemental down in Rala Waterways?

It has no HP bar and I can't attack or talk to it.

skadi+1 is ridic. As well as some sigyn pieces (feet for TP and possibly head)

In terms of WHM:
Marduk's jubbah +1 is the best Fast Cast body in the game, though Anhur Robe is more functional as both a FC body and Enhancing Body.

Marduk's tiara +1 is a great all around Cure potency and Regen piece, and basically is NQ Iaso Mitra in the curing aspect (best Curaga IV piece, however)

Marduk's dastanas +1 is the highest current MND piece for that slot in the game. However, that's not say too much if you aren't meleeing. Great for Enfeebles , though getting AF3+2 gloves will probably be easier and more useful to you in that regard (depending on the content you're gunning for). Can be combined with the body for 14% Fast Cast though, so consider it.

Nabu's tiara is the highest Enhancing head piece in the game for WHM. Simple to get and less frustrating versus an augmented Zenith Crown +1.

I don't think I saw an answer, so bump~

You can stick one of each type. Someone tested it a while ago, screenshot should be somewhere in here iirc.

Alright, thanks :)

I notice on all the new baseline gear in order to obtain the body the top comment on all the item's page's reads "Obtained from Peacekeeper's Coalition when they are in possession of the SIGNBOARD."

What is the signboard? How do you know if they're in possession of it?

There's an NPC(Civil Registrar maybe?) that explains all of that sort of thing inside the coalition. I think if you ask about Current plans they'll explain what each item(when it is the top voted) will do, and which items they currently have.

I really wish this npc's text was a part of the task delegator instead, maybe right after you choose whatever to vote on(with a chance to go back and see others). Doesn't look like a lot of people are talking to any other npcs in there, so they're voting for just random crap. Cerb got the weapons this week instead of the rest of the armor, which would have been way more useful.

Edit: BG Wiki has a lot on all of the coalitions already, and what each of their special items do.

Where do we get soul spectacles from? I keep hearing of people using them but can't find where to get them :/

Mummer's Coalition

Which NPC sells the KIs to fight the Naakuals?

Anyone know the AutoExec syntax for tells?

I'm trying to help one of my friends get up to speed after a long hiatus, so I'm levelling her THF off GOV pages when we have some time spare, and if I dc/crash and she's afk, could be missing out on hours of exp. I'd love to be able to /t inviteme! and get an invite back :P

<register silent="true" event="chat_tell_charname_inv">input /pcmd add Charname</register>

Can change the "inv" part to anything, but that should work.

<register silent="true" event="invite_charname">wait 1;input /join</register>

Above should autojoin party if invited by the right name.

For DNC TP set, Skadi's +1 head, hands and legs are top notch, according to the good ppl of The Last Dance thread. I'm not sure if Legs's STP is useful for all kinds of daggers or if there are some sets/Dagger combinations where having Abatteur Subligar's 10 STR/DEX would beat out the benefit of Skadi's Chausses +1's 8 STP/2% Crit hit rate from the set bonus. +1 hat should be best Exenterator piece for both those jobs still unless I missed something. Hands are the best Ex hands for DNC, too, (hm, maybe Myrmex/Thurandaut are worthy competition?), not sure what selection THF really gets as weapon skill hands.

Sigyn's feet are a Hybrid Eva piece (possibly one of the nicer feet for RUN TP sets - who btw also uses basically the same TP set as THF for now, if that's ever something you'd care to look into).

Edit: Added Thurandaut hands as possible competition as Exenterator piece.

Dimmian, East Adoulin F6, on top of the ramp that leads to Rala.

Awesome :D! I have the auto-join one, couldn't remember the chat events though! Much appreciated!

Not sure if this is the best place to ask since it is a tech related thing but when playing on the PC a weird thing where certain pieces of gear will flicker. Mainly around the neck or face but sometimes other parts as well. If that makes any sense does anyone know if there is a way to fix that or is it just an old game new technology thing?

What kind of flicker?
Without supersampling on, some stuff at times appear to flicker simply because of pixels changing position in a not-so-smooth way.
Could that be it? Or does it actually "blink"?

Like this if that helps any

I see.
Not quite sure if there's a fix for that..
Just looks like the hair/mask graphics change which is in front etc? :<
I'll see if I can reproduce the same effect ingame myself

Edit:
I can't seem to get that to happen, so idk sorry =/

It's most common with face/neck gear but not limited to it. It's also not consistant which is the weirdest part for me, my AF3 sam body was doing it then stopped when I rotated the camera a bit. Its not a huge deal or anything (it's done it for me forever) I was just curious if there was a fix since Adoulin made me have to switch to playing mainly on PC XD

Have you tried different versions of your graphics driver? I'd lean towards it being related to that.

LEHKO HABHOKA'S SHIRT. D:< I couldn't figure out what was wrong either. ; ;
