Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Yeah, it does that. It won't cast anything if it might get resisted. No idea if it's a bug or working as intended or SE just doesn't give a *** (likely the last one).

I have been hearing odin, asura and bahamut are the most active servers these days, even in EU times and I would like to ask; 1) is that true? 2) which one is the most EU friendly? By EU friendly I mean, are there still active EU linkshells* which aren't full and don't have too strict requirements to join.

*edit: and PUGs

In the end when considering maximum damage puppet is going to have RNG automaton out and exchanging attack rounds with each other but unfortunately support mage automaton's will more likely be used when you are low manning things with friends for your WHM puppets very unreliable healing capabilities.

Sometimes I think I think I'm much better of just focusing on gearing BLU so I can at least drop some support cures on demand >3>. I do really like the utility and multi role presence of rdm and sch but like most people have said they find just casting spells very boring and I must add I feel the same way and my friends do too >.< (hence BLU :D)

Some question's for the fellow X360 players that view these forums:

1. Is it normal for your screen to freeze for 3-5 seconds upon entering a new zone.

2. Is the FPS really choppy for everyone else playing the 360 version.

I am using the older white model 360 that I just dusted off recently since I cant seem to find a way to play the game from the comfort of my couch. I've tried connecting my PC to my tv but I would like to run a wireless X360 PC controller which connects fine but for some reason due to awkward inputs for FFXI the game chooses to not recognize my L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. This is a normal issue fixed by directly connecting a PS3 or X360 wired controller and running motionjoy but can't seem to get motionjoy to recognize my wireless controller (not sure if this is the case with a bluetooth dongle for a ps3 controller pairing). As a result I decided to just use my old Xbox and found my seekers ultimate collection which i never actually installed from the day I bought it. So after playing it for the first time I'm kinda curious if this is a game porting issue or does this only happen to certain people which could just be a problem with the hard drive. Curious if things run smoother on the new x360 model with the newer HDD.

I recall seeing someone post a znm flow chart that was maps with routes and such. I believe it was from a japanese site. Anyone know what im thinking of?

Hi. I'm the guy that did the Kogarasumaru afterglow mythic. I did this stuff a lot. While I have some damn efficient routes, someone else independently found some of these routes as well. I highly approve of these maps. There are indeed better routes, (PM if you are going through a lot of these) this resource is excellent for people who only need to make 4-5 sets for their mythics.

Here you go,

Can one get afterglow after ilvl on a relic weapon?

Yeah, the trial for afterglow is available for 119 as well.

how long does it usually take for a server transfer to be completed?

Once you pay, its instant (need to be logged off from server).

If you already payed and still are in same server, call gm, he will transfer you in 20ish mins.

Is Windows 8 still giving windower/ffxi trouble? I got a free copy of Pro in the mail but i'll stick with 7 if it's gonna mess me up.

If youre satisfied with 30k for a non common drop, you can easily make more cleaving and selling numerous augmented weapons from ulegurand/grauberg/altepa.

Could always just solo a primary goal of a
5/3/5 trig on almost any job for like 95% key item rate without killing any NM, just hitting Noetics

Legs 4 or 5 mean you get massive Noetics fragments+ just have to kill some lesser mobs and roam for Noetics
