Okay, I feel like I never really got a concise answer on Escha drops.

Is the consensus that pulse weps share a drop slot with other equips, but TH opens up that second slot a lot wider?

There's 1 slot that has a chance at pulse. TH level can open up another slot that also has a chance at pulse. I'm not sure if they can both be pulse or not. It's not that it's "wider" it's you now get drops as if you killed 2 without TH with that extra slot added in. This is my understanding of the extra slot/drop system if it's wrong someone else please correct me.

This is correct. Each slot has a chance of being pulse. TH does not effect the chance of a slot being pulse.

TH effects the chance of receiving 2 slots instead of 1 slot. Since both slots can contain pulse, TH helps in that manner.

Maybe its Fluid Spread is special and has some defense-ignore (or similar) properties?

How do you upgrade Aeonic? is it clear wave jeuno 3 boss once or something else?

I can confirm that both slots can be pulse - I have seen two Routers drop off of Fleetstalker on one kill.


Kill W3 Jeuno boss
OR
Deal 30 million damage to W3 Jeuno boss
OR
Deposit 10k Job Points to Oboro over (a minimum of) 14 weeks

Then deposit Detritus with Oboro to upgrade the augments.

If going to Oboro route, make sure to choose “Familiar” option, thats related to Aeonic.

Apparently back in the day I started mandau, but now I want to do g.horn.

I got my "dynamis dagger" back from goblin, but can't trade him base horn.

How do I move forward on g.horn?

I believe you need to remove the dagger from your inventory before talking to the goblin. Put it in your mog safe.

Thank you so much, this worked.

What is the difference between wave 1, 2 and 3 Dynamis D?

Is there a reason to clear 2 if you cleared 1? Is the only real reason to clear 3 to upgrade REMA? Can you upgrade relic to +2 clearing any?

Entering a Dyna-D zone unlocks +2 for the piece from the zone.

Clearing W1 boss unlocks +3 for the piece from the zone.

Jeuno = Legs,
Windy = Head
Bastok = Hands
Sandy = Fee

All 4 = Body

Clearing W2 opens the W3 mobs.

Clearing W3 unlocks REMA upgrades again based on zone

Already mostly answered, but all of the information is shown in a nice table format here:

Has anyone ever used the Aldo unity trust and/or the Jakoh Wahcondalo trust?

I was bored on a mule and switched to Aldo for the TH, and just to try it, but its AI and/or Sarva's Storm seem have issues.

Assumption: Sarvas's Storm is supposedly "functionally identical" to Rudra's.

As a WAR, I was initially treating it like Ayame and I'd do Ukko's for it to close as it ONLY uses Sarvas. That seemed to work a few times and then it just starts spamming WS as soon as I hit/almost hit 1k. So then I decide I'll just close it with Upheaval, but it just won't chain. I got rid of all trusts that could interfere but still just won't chain.
I did test with a real THF/Rudra's>Upheaval to make sure that worked, which it did.

Ukko's > Sarva's/Distortion = Distortion (check)
Sarva's/Distortion > Upheaval = Fusion (nope)

Am I missing something or just a weird bug because no one ever uses that unity?

I always thought that Savra's Storm is Mercy Stroke, not Rudra's

Try Savra's > Ukko's (Frag)

Its possible that ability has a non standard delay as is the case with helixes and many other trust weapon skills.
Try waiting 10 seconds and decreasing if successful.

Wow. That worked! Thanks! 6~10 "seconds" seemed like forever.
Good luck doing that with any WS'ing trusts consistently. :|

Question! It's possible to lockstyle bows, right? Like if I'm using Ullr, but put Shigeto in a lockstyle set, Shigeto will show?

Yes

...if it wasn't, why would anyone build a Yoichi?

I did back when SAM spamming Namas was somehow useful against Muyingwa

SAMs are exempt from my Yoichi venom. I can totally get behind it...now if they'd just let us /ra while riding a mount.....

Have there been any fan translations/summaries of the FFXI light novels that came out in Japan?

hey, if you have a friend on your friendlist and they server transfer. You normally see the server they went to right? Taking their name with them over there if it's available right?

I have a friend that returned to the my server with a different name cause his original name seemed to have been claimed. When I check my friendlist, I still have him on my friendlist with his original name he can't claim. So it's safe to say, he didn't transfer that old character in the first place? He's back but on another character (content ID, or w/e it's called).

Think he doesn't want to tell me out right it's a different character entirely for w/e reason.

You input the name you want to call them on your friend list yourself when you first add them. It always shows two names, that name you called them when you added them, and the name of their character (Or the server they're on if they're on a different server)

Unless you mean the name on the right, their current logged in character.

Yes, if you have a friend and they jump, your friendlist will say (server).

I'm not entirely following what happened though.

"A" played on carb > jumped to another server > jumped back to carb as "B"? And now claims they were never "A"?

Could have been using an alt on (server) and doesn't want to use "A" anymore. So "A" stayed on carb, but they started playing "B" on (server) and jumped it to carb. People do weird stuff. Things like that happen when an account gets sold, friends see a friendlist person on a different name etc.

Ok, I've had other friends that jumped servers and I would see their name in the new server.

This friend (lets call him "A") claims he was in Asura and wanted to return. But I never saw "A" ever in Asura like you normally would. "A" is on my friendlist still today.

"A" had to change his name to "B" because "A" was taken. I added him as my friend again as "B". Could you have the "same character" on your friendlist? I thought, if "A" transfered he would've taken his name with him opening it for someone else to claim it. But I still have "A" in my friendlist. And now I have "B" on my friendlist too....

Is he just straight up lying? Maybe he bought it and is too ashamed to admit? Dunno...
