Plus fix the trial 1815 (archery trial for TP bonus bow). On Archery Trial page is there that you need to do 300 Blast Arrows on plantoids, but actually its 300 Arching Arrow

I just added my crysta normally.

Used Paypal.

EDIT: But indeed I have some issues when I try to pay many chars at same time. So normally I plan and pay one each day.

I think you can use pre-paid cards for crysta instead of a traditional CC

In my case, its because my cc gets blocked when i try to pay for all my chars. It was a damn headache every month getting the stupid error and SE refusing my money. After they added paypal, i could use it to buy crysta and manage to pay for all my chars.

It will let me load crysta on any other account but not this one. Wonder if they're gonna ban it at 3 lol.

Usually they steal your sub fee then ban you though.

I started to do so awhile ago because years ago SE changed their payment processor. And to a bunch of people (don't think we ever narrowed down what criteria caused who to get effected) using the same C.C. on more than one payment thru that processor within 1-2 day period would trigger a fraud alert on the processors end (don't know about others but my bank never even saw them). Which would put using that card on hold for another couple of days and if you did too soon again would add more days. And you never knew ahead of time if it was too soon. Crysta is much easier to plan when payments are done.

I love square enix support. tl:dr I called about it

> You're locked out for 24 hours, sorry, try again tomorrow
< When i do try again tomorrow and it still won't let me in what do I do?
> wait another 24 hour and try again
< and when I do that and still can't get in? is there ever a solution other than wait 24 more hours? or should I just delete that account and make a new one.

Known "random" problem with absolutely no solution. The only time I would ever log in is within 24 hours of payment so if it randomly happens my sub gets lost and that bot can't earn for 24 hours. Great system.

It's not a better deal or anything, it's about an annoyance.

My bank makes me literally come in. in person and sign a waiver to pay square every month. But if I use paypal to buy crystal I don't have to do that.

(yes, my bank is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE) I was in Arizona for a couple days and tried to use my card, long story short they wouldn't let me use it out of state either.

It should be their defense system I guess. Suposelly this game wasnt designed to multiboxes, so its not weird to think SE never cared to think a single CC could pay multiples accounts. And never cared to fix it to that reality. If they were to acknowledge people multibox they would need to also change the game to allow multiboxing play. What will never happen.

One can guess that could be one reason they dont seems to want to mess with windower/ashita despite being so widely spread among playerbase. Multiboxing is entirely benefitial to SE in terms of money. If windower/ashita devs deal with making that kind of playing viable, SE just pretend to be blind with the game being so heavily altered by third party tools so its a win/win situation (though im not sure whats the real "win" from the windower/ashita dev in developing those tools. Believing its just to make game more enjoyable to everyone seems kinda naive).

It's just really *** stupid. I've never had this issue before and now I have to log in every couple days forever, just to make sure it never happens again the day a character is due.

Quick check on every account, HALF of them got this issue, if they were all due today I would've been pretty pissed off.

Back in the day when they added 3D secure for CC payments, they double billed my character, then when I had it fixed and one of the double payments reversed by Visa I got a 3 day vacation.... /thumbsup

Not at home so I can’t try this yet. If you get something appraised form the Nyzul Isle event but your inventory is full, will they hold it for you till you clear the space? Then if I do clear space but I’m in a party when I go back to get the item will it go into the party pool? Or drop straight to me?

It drops into the loot pool, even if you are solo, you just have to make room without zoning before the pool start self dropping, which is what, 3 minutes?

Suuuuper old question but google searching is turning up dead ends so I’ll ask:

Anyone know off-hand the ideal Amber Range to farm Sisyphus Fragments?

I’ve tried 64-72 but it was very very scarce, mostly those stupid weapons.
I’ve tried Capped but that gets me nothing but Isgebind and Diremite KI.
I’ve seen a loose post saying 36 but I feel like that’s low? Or is that right? Haven’t tried it yet.

Just trying to figure this out so I can farm without needing to get super competitive with other players at/around prime time

If anyone has information on this I thank you

You want a high number while still avoiding large gold boxes. I believe there are abyssites that will increase the potency of your lights, so the exact value may vary for people with different abyssites, but around 70 works for me.

What i know for sure, more important than amber light is pearlescent (to get more box instead). And having more chests dropped per kill is more important than having the right chest dropped due to random nature of this.

Aside that personally i think there are 2 types of gold pyxies, small and big. The difference between them is that there are more temps on small chests than big ones while the big one have more kis instead. Which is right, im not sure if anyone actually tested it, but if you do have low amber, you tend to get more red and blu boxes too, so either way shouldnt be that much noticeable. Just make sure to have lots of gold chests dropped per cleave, what you can get by having high pearlescent.

Thank you for the information. As to your point on Pearl though I feel it fair to point out that the box rate is very high with lower pearl levels so I rarely prioritize it outside of finishing NMs with Melee kills for extra bumps.

So I want as strong a number as possible but without getting Large boxes. Got it. I’ll try lower ranges when I get home too.

Thanks again

Is Balder Earring +1 actually any good?

I mean, even relative to something like Cessance which has Acc instead of Atk, the same STP and 3% DA vs. 1% QA... other than the marignal attack gain in acc capped situations, is Balder +1 even better? The earring just screams mediocrity to me and feels like an even worse option than things we already have.
