Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

damn lol really wanted to be talked into the AF haha... but i mostly just use LS and quick draw atm lol.... sigh

If you have a QD recast- Mirke Wardecors, you may still want to use that on QD. I almost always prefer recast (and stack that with an augmented Blood Mask).

But otherwise, yeah, AF for /ra and Last Stand. Relic for Leaden (which you really should be looking into since the WS changes).

What about AF boots for QD +10 vs relic MAB +15?

Relic

Is there a way to check if you already have balrahn's eyepatch turned in? One of my mules is at 16k amps, while the rest were all at 100-120k. I assume I bought it and turned it in, but may have just emptied the amps into valkyrie ***while odin was a thing. I'd hate to tie up 30,000 alex just to realize I have 2 months of ein to do.

what does Quick draw +10 actually do anyway just tacks on 10 dmg on to it? or?

Adds 10 damage to your base QD damage. Almost always MAB is better.

Okay here's a weird question: does anyone have a video of Aldo and Luzaf trusts? I missed them and would like to see their weapon skills.

Has anyone figured out what Star Sybil does? She doesnt cure and buff so shes not a whm. She just stands there with her 1700mp shaking her head lol I feel like I wasted 500 login points.

Does armor break additional effect work on delve NM/AA?

MAB aura.

And MACC.

Is there any trick or reason to this Goblin Mystery box? I've never bothered with it and I have almost 10,000 points saved on him o.0. Should I just spam dial 5 and cross my fingers?

Did SE severely screw something up giving 100% cottons to old salvage NM's and/or double drop rate along with the double plans?

Or is XI DB just beyond screwed up. Or is it people duping cottons?

If it's still possible to dup the ***, that's quite a few that have been dupped without any bannings. Unless it's just whatever program catches DB stats being really messed up.

Utsusemi blocks it, yes.

Did they change some food effects or added some hidden duration stuff?
Just used a RCB (NQ) in a COP area with signet on and the food effect was 63 min (3 minutes could be cause of zoning a lot). i am sure it should be 30 mins.

More than likely your server has the Mog Tablet power of
"Dilatory Digestion": Food effects will last twice as long!"

@Valli: xidb tracks incoming drop packets, server often double sends inside instances, so stuff gets recorded twice(you don't see anything different in pool because it's just assigning the same slot again)

its worse on khrysokhim because everyone does AR2 so the zone is totally f'ed

the salvage1 stuff you listed has always been 100% drop

Sounds like FFXIDB needs some adjusting. 7000 is a pretty big error.

I guess "spaghetti code".

Been having trouble with Timers. The buffs just slowly move further and further down... Reloading it auto crashes me.

edit: I eee some other people have been having the same problem, any fix yet?

man ive got good geared thf Sundug Relic +1 reforge hands skrimish body but i keep gettin killed in dyna... nukes just waste me... any tips?? if thf just alot weaker to spells naitivly?? im used to being on pup where i enver get hit hard by anything lol. but i want to put my new dagger to use and i dunno what am i doing wrong XD

1. are you wearing iLVL gear?
2. do you have a Meva/MDT set?
3. are you aggroing a bunch of mage mobs and standing there while they nuke your face in?

There an add on that updates the translate dictionary to all of the available terms yet?

only hands atm are ilvl 119 Skirmish body(intuli vest) WKR hat Shendd +1 pants only piece thats kinda bummer right now is AF3 feet i suppose i should swap out accessory's with MDEf or something

What zone are you doing? Usually even the worst nukes in a TP set only do maybe 400 max.

If it's a big concern you can always get a scroll of instant shell and/or have a sch mule perp shell you @ entrance, that will cover most of your run.

You should have an MDT set though

Also, if you're actually using sandung... you're probably better off actually being on pup (honestly) pup has a much better proc set (WS vs JA) and it's safer, also generally zero comp from dncs bsts and other thfs @ ws mobs.

OH! Good question... are you using rancorous neck/back? That will get your face ripped off, if you are.

The right answer is: dont waste your time with mages. Nightmare mobs are weaker and net more coins.

If youre fighting mages to kill tes, just plan better to pull. Avoid pulling huge waves, keep at max 2 adds. If its a mage, make sure to run as far as you can because mages stop to cast, so they can end linking a lot of mobs. If you end zerged by mages, keep hp capped all the time. If you have crossbow, sleep bolts can give you some secs.

use gear changes, and change to a DT set when you know the spell is about to land, but really, just use gear changes in macros in general and youll find a lot more will come to you in terms of every single thing possible in the game.

There are nightmare mobs that cast like weapons, but i can't remember the last time i got hit hard enough to be worried. Even a random astral flow from a sloppy pull on TE20 didn't kill me and i tp in thaumas coat on blu. I can only imagine he's making sloppy pulls and wearing terribad gear.
