Any way to avoid spellcast crashing when I equip the new gear? Assuming you mean the Decennial gear, go to your Windower folder. Plugins > Resources > open items_armor in notepad. Put these in the notepad file:

Not sure if putting them in the numerical id number order matters, but I don't think so. I'd also make a copy of the items_armor file before copy-pasting just incase you mess up.

Random lot question.
So a buddy and I were having a discussion about loot pool lots. I brought up if it was possible to lot a 1 or a 999. Out of about 3 years of old school dyna, I have always seen the lots 2 or 998 on the currency that dropped.
Just curious about that not a "OMG I NEED TO KNOW" question.

Why has the price on Genbu pop sets been shooting through the roof over the last few weeks? What changed that made Genbu so popular all of a sudden?

Genbu scraps are used to augment Kirin's pole which can get among other things enhancing skill. And all enhancing gear has increased in price due to the high demand from scholars who want to perfect their Embrava set.

I'm not really sure where to look up why this is, but I've been seeing "QA > TA > DA > OAX" around a lot and would like to know why it is with some detail explaining it, or if there is a documented post somewhere that I could read that would also work :o

Okay, instead of rolling a 100 sided die that says
0-14 = QA
15-30 = TA
31-50 = DA
51-80 = OAT
81-100 = Single attack
The game rolls a die to check QA, if it checks positive, you quadruple attack. (QA rate = % QA)
If it fails, then it rolls to check Triple Attack, if it is successful, the algorithm terminates and you triple atttack. If not, then it checks DA and so on.
actual TA rate = (1-QA rate)*TA rate
and so on.

TA rate = (1-QA rate)*TA rate
and so on. So, "QA > TA > DA > OAX" just means the order the game checks not the recommended order to use?
Like if you were going to go with a sub slot (ignoring other possible weapon options) a DA would be more beneficial than OAX (ignoring dmg on the weapon as well, and focusing more on how many hits the weapon gets in over time)?

Depends on how much multi-attack you already have.

Say you have 100 attack rounds. 3% QA, 3% TA, 3% DA.
QA > TA > DA > OAX
3 out of 100 of those rounds, QA will proc. That leaves 97 rounds for TA to proc, which leaves 94 rounds for DA to proc.
You'd add on 3 extra attacks per round that QA procs, 2 extra for TA, and one extra for DA.
OAX is added a little differently. Each x in OAX isn't an independent proc like QA/TA/DA, if that makes any sense. To add it onto a current QA/TA/DA value, you first need your chances of not getting additional attacks from QA/TA/DA.
In the case above, it's 0.97 * 0.94 * 0.91 = 0.829738
82.9738% chance of not getting a multiattack from QA/TA/DA.
You have to multiply that by the average amount of multiattacks for the OAX weapon. Let's say it's an OA2-4 magian weapon, those have about a 2.0 avg attacks/round. You also ened avg attacks/round of QA/TA/DA, in this case it's 1.11764.
With an 82.9738% chance of no multiattack from qa/ta/da, you have a 17.0262% chance of getting one, which is a 1.170262 reduction in the amount of average attacks from OAX, so about +0.829738 from the OAX weapon.
So you'd take 1.11764 + 0.829738 = 1.947378 average attacks/round. In the case of single wielding, anyway. For dual wielding, you'd do 1.11764 + 1.11764 + 0.829738, since you'd have QA/TA/DA affecting both hands and OAX affecting only one.
Being distracted atm, so this is kind of a rambly explaination, and I may have messed something up.
Also if you don't know how, to find your average attacks per round, you simply take your QA/TA/DA values... 3/3/3
.03 * 100 = 3
3 * 3 = 9
100 + 9 = 109
100-3 = 97
.03 * 97 = 2.91
2.91 * 2 = 5.82
109 + 5.82 = 114.82
97 - 3 = 94
.03 * 94 = 2.82
114.82 + 2.82 = 117.64
1.11764 attacks/round

An easier way than following what Proth did is to use this formula:
(Using decimal forms for QA etc, so 1% QA = 0.01)
Q= QA%
T = TA%
D = DA%
Attacks per round = 1+ 3Q + 2(1-Q)T + (1-((1-Q)T+Q))D
You can use this link:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%281%2B+3Q+%2B+2%281-Q%29T+%2B+1%281-%28%281-Q%29T%2BQ%29%29D%29%2C+Q%3D0.03%2C+T%3D0.03%2C+D%3D0.03
And change the values of Q, T, D in the search. Input is Proth's example of 3/3/3. (He added an extra 1, it's 1.17643, not 1.117643).

Can also use the easier to read formula:
Attacks per round = D(Q-1)(T-1)+Q(3-2T)+2T+1
Link to let you alter the values in the formula yourself, default is 3/3/3 again :3

For QA/DA/TA and OA2-X (up to 4 supported) here are formulas:
Q = QA rate
T = TA rate
D = DA rate
X = OA4 rate
Y = OA3 rate
Z = OA2 rate
(1.) Direct
1+3Q+2(1-Q)T+ [1-[(1-Q)T+Q]]D + (1-Q)(1-T)(1-D)[3X+2(1-X)Y+ [1-[(1-X)Y+X]]Z]
(2.) Simplified
D*(Q-1)(T-1)+Q*(3-2T) + 2T + 1 + (1-Q)(1-T)(1-D)[Z*(X-1)(Y-1)+X*(3-2Y) + 2Y]
(3.) Wolfram Alpha calculation
Wolfram Alpha can't handle input that large, so do it in steps.
Step 1--->Replacing the proper values for Q,T, and D, use the result from: This formula to get "N".
Step 2---> Use the result from this formula to get "S."
Step 3---> Change N and S in this formula to the values you got in Step 1/2. Substitute the proper %rates for OA4/3/2 (X, Y and Z respectively) and hit "Equals." The default OAX settings are the estimated distributions of the magian OA2-4 weapons.
Edit: see new post a few steps down.

actually it's mathematically impossible to go below 2, so I'm missing a term in that formula page. Will identify and fix when I get home.

I see the problem.
I prioritized OA4 over OA3 etc.
This is likely true from the game's coding, but thalues I used in OA8 arre based on an estimation to match the known per round average.
I'll fix the formulas to account for observed distributions and/or known averages las soon as I'm not posting from my phone.

Z = OA2 rate
(1.) Direct
1+3Q+2(1-Q)T+ [1-[(1-Q)T+Q]]D + (1-Q)(1-T)(1-D)(3X+2Y+Z)
(2.) Simplified
D*(Q-1)(T-1)+Q*(3-2T) + 2T + 1 + (1-Q)(1-T)(1-D)[3X+2Y+Z]
(3.) Wolfram Alpha calculation
Substitute the proper %rates for QA/TA/DA (Q,T, and D respectively) OA4/3/2 (X, Y and Z respectively) and hit "Equals." The default OAX settings are the estimated distributions of the magian OA2-4 weapons.
Here's the Wolfram Alpha Query
Note: OAX probably prioritizes in the same way QA/TA/DA do, but since the known distributions are "observed" they already account for it.
If you know only the average hits per round of an OAX weapon, you can use this formula:
1+3Q+2(1-Q)T+ [1-[(1-Q)T+Q]]D + (1-Q)(1-T)(1-D)(A-1)
Where A is the average hits per round of the OAX weapon.
Here's that formula in the form of a Wolfram Alpha query, too.
Notice we get the same value ( 2.0891) for the default example I've used where
QA/TA/DA = 0.03 and I've used 0.1/0.2/0.3 (observed/estimated magian OA2-4 frequencies) for OA4/OA3/OA2.

what the hell is up with celestial avatar quests? everytime you defeat one, a taru clothed in black appears slowly walking towards you before the fade to black and creepily watches you talk to the magic doll at the avatar's respective zone.
Does he run all the avatar's reward systems? did he originally build each avatar's home? ... well now I gotta go fight one and see that.

To build on Galbir's response, you can't lot 999 unless someone has already lot 998, and you can't lot 1 unless someone has lot 2. Hence the rarity.

First off I'll admit to being lazy, but is there a way for spellcast (I don't use autoexec, and don't really have any interest in using it) to tell if I have march x2 buffactive? would I need to find the buff id's for it to detect? I'm looking to make various haste sets depending on how much magic haste I have and how close to haste cap I am, (mostly for nin) I 2box quite a bit and mule is most often brd/whm but sometimes blm/brd if I'm helping someone farm some seals and whatnot.
what the sets I'd like to set up would be
Haste + march x2 (embrava)
No haste - march x2 (embrava)
Haste + march x1
everything else
and if spellcast can't do this, I'm ok with that I'll just continue to use my bind keys to activate those sets manually

<if status="engaged">
<if buffactive="March">
<equip when="engaged|aftercast" set="Name of your march tp set here" />
</if>
<else>
<equip when="engaged|aftercast" set="Normal tp set name" />
</else>
This is the best you can do with spellcast; it will check for march after an action is done. Auto exec would make it check as soon as march is cast though.
