Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

The large pinks, Pixie type wings that I've seen players wearing for extended amounts of time, what are they and how do I obtain them? Thanks in advance.

what are some good places for aoes? I usually only used one area before escha was released for xp. But if someone shows up or someones already there then im sol. I aint goona be that guy camp over them. In fact i just went there and a pld was there. But he teled out so i got set up. But he returned a few minutes later. So i left. - Im not looking for mass xp in the normal sense. Any mob that can yield 5k+ is good enough. Doesnt have to be a 10-150-20k mob. I was doing them one at a time in sky the other day.
I was looking briefly in escha zi tah. But the top area was all worms. Above that dragons and weapons. Weapons stop for magic, and havnt fought the dragons but im guess not the greatest. a few places in the southern area were camped so i didnt look around to much.

If I wanted to check which servers are still up, could I go off of the FFXIAH.COM server list? And also, are there any merger rumors or schedules in the works?

Help growing my abyzal wyrm

My monster got 3 starts now and I already gave it a couple honey wines but not happen to move to next evolution, does anyone know what am I doing wrong or if evolution item is different?

You must set the parenting style as "Enjoying the moment". You can't force an evolution while it is "Personal growth". Also feeding doesn't seem to work when the monster reaches 3 stars (correct me if I am wrong).

You should feed and interract with it until it is 2.5 stars while the parenting style is "Personal growth" then switch to "Enjoying the moment", only then start feeding it the evolution food.

If the game does NOT tell you it "squirms uncontrollably" when you feed it the evolution food, then it is either too early (check stars) or it is too late (3 stars) and you have to start over unless you may be willing to wait for it to evolve without feeding the evolution food. I have already grew two Abyssal Wyrms without trading any Honey Wines to the dragon hatchling and one King Behemoth without trading any Savory Shanks to my behemoth. But it takes much longer than just using the evolution food and in the case of dragon hatchling, it is possible to get it to evolve into wyvern instead of Abyssal Wyrm, but there is no other option for the Behemoth to evolve into.

Does anyone know why Rhapsodies 1-18 "Ring my Bell" won't progress when you check Gilga's door?

Have ZM,COP,TOA,SOA,WOTG9 done. I get flavor text from Comitiolus "Ol sea dog, have ya heard anythin bout where this stoic warrior guy "Tenzen" is? Fraid I cant let you see our leader until he comes along, what with all this Escha hullabaloo goin on.

Thanks for any help!

Some of what you're saying is off, allow me to make a few corrections:

- Setting to "Live in the moment" is only necessary if they run the risk of a "normal" evolution. In the case of Abyssal Wyrm, it's not necessary.
- Having 3 stars doesn't cause problems with squirm, you only miss the window if it grows into some other path you didn't want. No need to start over if it reaches 3 stars.

Minikomby, if you're having problems with your dragon, the real question should be whether or not it's still a hatchling, which is the only time where Honey Wine is of any use. Note that Abyssal Wyrm refers to the Fafnir model.

Thanks guys i found my mistake.
