I have a multi monitor setup that crashes XI when I toggle the second monitor....is it simple to install the DirectX proxy to prevent the crashes?

4) Clear Tier 1 V0 -> V5 -> V10 -> V15 -> V20, then same for Tier 2, 3, and Bumba.
This does not require a carry, however you must complete these steps in the order listed. Path.
2) Clear Tier 1 V25, Tier 2 V25, Tier 3 V25, Bumba V20.
This requires a carry to get you in, but these steps are not listed in any specific order. Not a path.
The carry has no bearing on whether or not you complete steps in a given order. I never said, nor implied that there was any relation so I'm not sure why I'm being asked to rationalize it. It's not relevant either.

You cant Clear T1 V0 > V5 > V10 > V15 > V20
And then Clear T2 V0 > V5 > V10 > V15 > V20

I never suggested that you could clear content in this order. Where are you pulling this idea from?

True of false:
"Defeating all 17 Odyssey NMs at the correct vengeance level(V20 for Bumba, V25 for the remainder), in any order, will result in being able to personally enter V25 Bumba yourself."

true, but you're still being pedantic and i don't think the guy asking the question was specifically requiring a method with a prescribed order

Why else would he differentiate with "->" or ","?
"Clear Tier 1 V25, Tier 2 V25, Tier 3 V25, Bumba V20."
"Clear Tier 1 V25 > Tier 2 V25 > Tier 3 V25 > Bumba V20."
While both of these statements lead to the desired result, one of them is accurate and the other would lead someone to believe that the order of operations is important, when it's not.
Surely I'm being pedantic, but ***like this is (in my opinion) largely responsible for the misinformation that plagues the community. That and the terrible reading comprehension.

Seun be like “Im being pedantic because we dont want to confuse people with misleading statements thinking the order of clears matters when it doesnt”.
Also Seun:
4) Clear Tier 1 V0 -> V5 -> V10 -> V15 -> V20, then same for Tier 2, 3, and Bumba.
This does not require a carry, however you must complete these steps in the order listed. Path.
I think telling people they can clear tier 1 up to V20 while leaving tier 2/3/Bumba at V0 without a carry is a lot more misleading and confusing considering it is literally impossible.

All this path talk is tiresome, TBH. If you understand the way the system works it's totally trivial to come up with a path. There are no paths.
You're either being carried into harder fights (fewer moglophones required) or you are doing the NMs in tier-order.
The only choices you have are which NM you do in which order from each tier.
There is only one path if you're doing it "legit" and if you're doing it by being "carried" then the path is...skip as much as you can get away with.
That's why I balked at the idea of this guy coming up with all these "paths" on reddit or on these forums.
Which one of these uses fewer moglophones?
17 fights
34 fights
85 fights
Um...if you can't answer that one, you are going to struggle with the Odyssey fights, bruv.

I'm interpreting the quote Nynja, those aren't my words. From reading the quote, anyone would assume that these are steps that need to be completed in order, regardless of their accuracy.

Is something up with Odin HTMB? I killed it twice on Difficult and did not get any Rem's Tale drops in the pool, only the personal drops at the end.

It's been a few years since I actually paid attention to the drops, but I thought they were always personal loot.
*edit
I only use one chat window so everything displays differently, otherwise your results look normal to me.

The HTMBs drop some chapters in the pool and then some additional personal drops. I thought it was weird because Difficult dropped no chapters in the pool, when I would 1 pool chapter on VE, 2 on E, 3 on N, but then zero on D?
By Seun 2024-08-15 16:42:06
I'm sorry, you're right. I'm remembering now that the personal loot were always specific chapters, but you'd get additional random chapters in the pool. Not sure what's up with that.

HTBFs don't have a guaranteed REM Chapters slot in the pool. Those are the Macrocosmic Orb fights where you will always see them in the pool and direct personal drop. The HTBFs just have a direct drop REM guaranteed, but the lower difficulties may just have a guaranteed REM slot to make up for the lower drop rate on armor/accessories.

I can assure you that HTMB's, Selbina and OG's, do have guaranteed REM's in pool, alongside the personal loot. I dug up an older log where I was farming Odin Prime on D and got 3 random REM's every time.

That’s so weird, I have gotten guaranteed treasure pool Rem’s on Selvina VE E and N HTMBs. I took a shot at Odin D and didn’t see any pool Rem’s.

Considering all the spaghetti code and the High-Tier Mission Battlefield Campaign being live, maybe SE broke something with unintended consequences of removing rem's tales from the Selbina fights loot pool.

Are you capped on the storage npc with rem tales?

This happened before the update and the campaigns. Being capped at NPC doesn't affect drops.

This seems a Mandella Effect.
Because from the start I never thought weird not dropping chapters tbf

Are you sure the log isn't from normal or lower? They definitely drop on lower difficulties, but even in 2019 there was no drop on D:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2cjePQPq3I
(video panta linked is VD.. every D/VD video i can find has no chapter drops, but i don't think i saved my logs far enough back to when i last farmed it)

Apparently I was doing Odin on N.
I know VD my geo was having problems reliably sticking silence for full duration for my MNK to kill in timr. I thought I downgraded to D though, not all the way to N.
Might have been related to the drop rates being ***on D or N, so I just opted for the quicker easier run.
Disregard what I posted above.
For those of you that visit Bg you already know the premise of this thread but for those that don't, it's simple.
Quote: This thread is for off-the-cuff questions that don't merit a full topic to answer. 'What should I wear for my level 65 pup?' 'What's the best way to learn the Qutrub Blu spell?'
General Guidelines.
Any questions goes be it FFXI related or not this community has a plethora of people surely one will be able to assist you.
Please don't bash people for asking questions hating someone for seeking knowledge even if you deem it a stupid thing to ask makes you look like an even bigger tool.
If your answer is on the large side either providing a link or spoilering the answer might be a good idea to help reduce the thread size.
Have fun!
