Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Yes. Got a hexed hands last week and a scarletite ingot.
Does the abjuration drop here also?

any word yet if they will make FFXI free to play?

Is there a working version of kparser somewhere or program similar to it? I'm aware of scoreboard, but it doesn't have what I need at the moment.

Edit: I found this post and apparently it helps towards fixing kparser, but I don't know where to put that. :/ Anyone able to help?

Edit again: Fixed it. Answer on the first page of the linked thread.

Anyone able to clarify or link to what I am hearing about being able to skip NM stage for Empy weapons? :o

I haven't done it so I am going off hearsay. When you go to the box next to the magian moogle to get your base weapon, you can get one for each type that is a -1 version of the final Walk of Echoes weapon. You can the trade it and the original amounts of Coins, Die and Residues required and have the complete lvl 99 WoE weapon.

Many thanks to the both of you!

I have a question about Mandau lv119.

Does anyone have numbers of Mercy Stroke with it? Either on high level mobs or trash. Anything would be appreciated :p Not much luck finding it myself poking around. I'm also curious if the weaponskill damage +40% is still on it.

Can't vouch for damage numbers, but yes, both mythic and relic modifiers are still on the 119 version.

I'd imagine it to be pretty high. I hope I don't disappoint myself in thinking it will be amazing. lol

Thanks for the answer!

Seems kind of obvious though

Atinian
INT/MND + 12
MAB+25
Magic Damage + 195
Staff/Parrying + 215
Magic Accuracy + 203

vs

Bquil
INT/MND + 12
MAB + 22
Magic Damage + 173
Staff/Parrying + 188
Magic Accuracy + 177
Enmity -5

Unless you're meleeing a lot or need that extra drop in Enmity, the Atinian staff is going to be better, especially for lower damage nukes. Though I'd wonder how much of a difference the "Enhances 'Elemental Seal' Effect" would be for a BLM Since you're not using it during every casting, and since I play SCH the Atinian Staff would better suit me anyways.

Baquil of course is free and looks cooler.

(And on a side note, not sure if the extra Damage/Delay on the Baquil staff is enough to outweigh the +27 difference in staff/parrying skill, if you ever melee with it.)

On sch, with my gear build, the Enhance Elemental Seal damage boost only netted me 10-12 damage on tier 5 nukes. Also, since typically ES isn't used to help nuke damage, but to help enfeebling spells land unresisted, I do to see how this staff is really on any practical use.

Unlike atinian, baqil staff can be equiped by rdm. So, if you dont consider buramenkah, staff wise, baqil is the best weapon for rdm. Supposing you sub blm, prob that staff should allow, if sp2 can stack with elemental seal, the highest macc in game. Maybe even allowing sleeping nms in new bcnm hardcore mode.
Also that staff is the best nuking one for rdm.
It has some limited uses, but still, a special staff, at leats atm.

I need to clear voidwatch bastok. I still have Murk-veined Baneberry, Melancholic Moira and Celano left. Is it possible to solo these 3 mobs? I can use bst to solo Celano but I'm not too sure about the stabby Tonberry and the AOE extremely bad breath morbol.

Yea, I forgot about the RDM aspect of it. It is such a forgotten and overlooked job by most people.

ES already caps macc on anything that won't fully resist as far as we know, or adds a large enough macc boost that it doesn't matter. Why the *** would you stack ES and SP2? Both are "100% macc" type JA, with the RDM sp landing on some things that normally wouldn't. Anyone can go naked /blm 0skill and ES sleepga the mobs in the hardmode BCNMs.

I'm guessing the ES effect would be better for Impact than something like Atinian.

Stymie shouldn't work with Impact at all because it's classified as Elemental Magic. As RDM/BLM before iLVL I was able to ES impact full duration against Tojil with a modestly high Macc setup. I can't imagine that an amazing amount of additional JA's would be needed to land enfeebles on anything for a well geared RDM.

Once again, ES absolutely caps macc. Stymie works a little differently and lets you bypass some immunities, like sleep on skeletons.

Coming back to game after 1 year hiatus. Starting a new char, anyone have an updated leveling guide? GoV of Fov camps to solo? Cannot find ppl to do abyssea or Gusgen.

Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out something in spellcast and I would appreciate some help.

I'd like to get it so that I can hit a variable toggle macro that would make my TP set swap over to a DT set while the variable was active. This would allow me to WS and w/e as usual without having to tap the DT set each time. Is there any way to do this easily?

Can anyone point me to the thread about the new Af+2 fights and/or information about them? Please and thank you!

Entry requirements etc here.

<Help me out!>

Coalition assignments are an easy and quick exp boost for low levels. Beyond that, soloing GoV, or keying an abyssea party are probably your only hope until you can carry some weight on your own out there.
