Yeah you can't use the Chocobo Circuit to wap between towns, even though the map shows connections to all cities. You'll always return to the city you started from.

The synergy earrings to teleport to the starter nations are level 20. Considering you are in Jeuno, unless someone PL's you I doubt you're soloing 1-20 outside that city.

Odd question - did you set your homepoint when you moved your mule to Jeuno? Since I doubt you have changed jobs since moving, it's possible your homepoint is still set in the starter city. If so, hit the Homepoint in Jeuno and use a warp device (either someone warp you, a scroll which is level one, or a ring which is also level one). Long shot, but maybe?

Or, just blood warp. Make sure to hit a HP crystal in jeuno first.

Wait until the super kupopower 'Thrifty transport' is on and the moogle in ru'lude gardens will teleport you to any nation for free

I have 0 knowledge on how PUP even works but did those NM multiple times solo on BLU so here's my tips:

Sava Savanovic: I use Amchu+Arciela to get mdb buff as this guy starts using very strong fire magics as HP gets low. Doom isn't usually a problem as it's a gaze attack and you can just turn to avoid or have holy water for emergencies. In your case I'd go full dd on pup and even if you end up tanking, he doesn't hit that hard physically.

Pierithoos: afaik there is not issue using magic against this guy except the shitty dmg most likely. Anyways, like any Ixion type mob you don't want to stay in front of it or, even worse, right behind it but sides are safe. I use amchu as tank and try to avoid getting hate myself but if you have good mdb from trust/buffs its magic attack are nothing scary. Meteor can be annoying at low hp so AoE healing(Arciela/Selh'teus/Apururu) help a lot.

Best luck!

Pierithoos absorbs the element he is currently aligned to (wiki says he can potentially have a physical absorption too if he isn't aligned with anything, but I've never seen that happen- so that might just be another case of "Kei can get Ice Spikes"). This does include SC damage so you may not be able to use Smite-->Smite SCs if it's something on the light side of the elements.

I've experienced that. It can happen, but rarely. Usually don't see it unless the fight goes on for over a minute for whatever reason. Don't think I've seen it occur above 25%

so started up alt on same pc and had something new happen the animations seem to be running at like 4x speed not running anything crazy and it's the same character every time i logged in 5 seperate characters about 10 times and only 1 would run in fast forward any clues ?

Once upon a time plastic surgeon allowed you to change your race and appearance. Is there still a plugin that does this now?

Dressup addon

Just adding on to this: Perithoos is pretty succeptible to getting stuck in the loop of using Grace of Hera if it has 3+ debuffs on it. I easily duo it with a DD and me on GEO/any mage just throwing debuffs on it. As such, using debuffing+healing/dd trusts such as Koru or Arciela is a very good idea. Pretty much anything should land, even Blind, I think! (lol)

On a different note: Does anyone know what move Kyou does to throw Muddle on people?

Sometimes happens to me when logging in multiple characters. If you have FastCS loaded, reload the addon when in game and that should normalize everything.

Thanks!

Is there a weaponskill damage from gear cap? (As in the WSD stat)

And obviously I know there's a cap of some kind "because computer" but I mean a known/attainable one.

Pardon the double post, meant to edit this one.

There isn't.

How are commands formatted on the Japanese client? Are there prefixes (/magic, etc.)?
What's the text for /target?

All the commands are the same, the only stuff in japanese is the ability/spells names

/ma ケアル <t>
/ws サベッジブレード <t> <wait 1>
/target <bt>

etc...

Thanks very much-- I would not have guessed that.
After reading a few quick blurbs about Japanese keyboards, it seems that typing there is not so simple.

Can you get Orthrus pop KIs in Brown chests in Abyssea Altepa?

No. Best you can get for Orthrus are Tiger King's Hide and Sharabha Hides from small gold chests.

I forgot how serious those manuals used to be. Now all we get is a sleeve with an advertisement.

Yes

This has probably been asked before but I've searched and not found anything, maybe I'm just ***at searching.

Does anyone know what the accuracy caps are for Omen? And are you expected to hit those caps with gear + sushi or do people do acc buffs in there too?? Looking at getting into it but really don't want to be "that guy" who is dragging a group down.

This a hundred times over, I'm trying to capitalize on my sets but not knowing baseline acc needs is tricky
