I think you need to state which server you're on, but it's most likely just that Scragg is busy.

He stopped giving pink bars out already :( And they're going away in a few days anyway.

But I'm sure he appreciates the retweet!

Nuts... Ok then Ty!

Bump..anyone got a linky??

If a person procs red !! in abyssea on a NM, can they warp and change jobs to a mage thing to come back and proc yellow and still have the NM drop KI from proc'ing red earlier? (If the NM is held by others in that person's party while they job change and come back)*

Yeah, so long as it doesn't reset.

It still works, just not in combo with Battlemod as far as I know. Alternatively there's scoreboard for a more essential parsing.

Has anyone got anyone but crap from the Oblivious Adventurer? I've been trying daily on multiple characters for Redeyes and every day I get a bunch of Bronze Caps. <.< I'd like to think that I have a chance... but doesn't feel that way. Redeyes /can/ be obtained this way, right?

What's the general strategy for Enraged Alfard? He seems a lot harder than the other HQ NMs so I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong :|

erm, enraged Alfard? Like, Abyssea Alfard? He rages? What're you fighting him on?

Oh, sorry! The ZR2 Salvage boss :X
It ate me and Akeon... twice.

Whats the best THF dagger WS to gear for old content outside of aby? Not including merit/relic/empyrean WS

Evisceration

ty~

Off to the THF thread for gear so~

maybe someone here knows, does that windower plugin that increases the FPS to ~60 work? I really want a higher FPS rate but not if it's buggy or dangerous to use...

I'm not too sure about this NM either. Sometimes it's easy but sometimes it's pretty hard. It really depends on whether you can remove its heads or not. I think having several strong skill chain and a dragoon to weaken it and remove its heads will make it a lot easier.

i really don't think there's a gimmick, his triple attacks just hurt

make sure to keep slow/elegy up and bring a galka DD if possible

you can also use hybrid food like hydra kofte or rabbit pies, if you really need you can even throw a song on minne or do defender+cs.. not like the zone takes anywhere near time limit even trio so you can spare some time on the boss if you need to

So I'm on vacation and realized my laptop didn't have adoulin installed. Is there somewhere I can grab it from? From what I see the square enix store (where I bought it from) won't let me re download it anywhere -_-

Do you have to be in range of the pet for "Pet: Phys. dmg. taken -11%" or any pet gear like that for it to work?

No.

has there been an update to Altana Viewer with all the new items added?

Yeah I'm trying for the rod and have even tried at different nations and its always the nq item. Is there even anything to figure out or is this a 1/3 chance? Is it also just once every 24 hours or something?

Has anyone actually gotten higher than rank 3 fame in Adoulin? I know BG has 9 ranks listed, but I'm down to two quests remaining for Adoulin. Still rank 3.

QUESTION:

I'm working on capping my ranks in all coalitions, but have run into a snag with Mummer's Coalition. I can't seem to move from Disciple to Contributor.
It takes 20 imprimaturs to be promoted, and I've already reached Contributor rank in Inventor's. I've done more than 20 imps worth of assignments for Mummer's, and yet it won't name me Contributor. Does anyone know why this is? Is there another requirement that needs to be met? Is it a glitch? I've completed all quests, as well.

Last night while fighting Perdurable Raptor as RDM/BLM I found out I can basically lock it down by spamming Sleep/Sleep II/Sleepga/Stun.(Probably works for most delve NMs)

My question is what would be the best set as far as acc for sleep goes? Last night I was using this and only had 2 or 3 sleeps miss the entire fight.:
ItemSet 302318

Would this set be better?
ItemSet 302319
(Any obvious upgrades I missed?)

Set#1: Enfeebling +87(527) M.acc +27 INT +26
Set#2: Enfeebling +60(500) M.acc +42 INT +56
Enfeebling +27 vs M.acc +15 & INT +30

I made another set using 26% haste, however with 3 sleeps & stun even without haste gear I always had a spell ready to be cast leading me to believe aiming for max acc is the way to go.

Enfeebling skill vs M.acc vs INT... how does it work?

Generally speaking,

1 INT = 0.5 MACC (for INT-based spells - general assumption made after a particularly low +dINT)
1 Skill = 1 MACC

Based off this

earrings from the second set, a sturms report or av throwing item, and basically skill > acc > int. it's a set duration so you don't need int to hit a potency cap. just skill to not get any resistance which will shorten it. you might wanna add in some recast if you land them reliably just to make sure you always have one up.

just inqueso.

Refraction cape should be best in slot for sleep spells.
