So I've seen AA Elvaan praised as THE Tank trust. Do any of the other Ark Angel trusts perform well?
F.Elvaan are just that powerful... AA Hume is ok if you're fighting something where shadows can help prevent Trusts getting instantly deleted. An example that comes to mind is I recall doing some solo grinding of Garbage Gel UNM on my Ninja alt and I used both Gessho and AAHM since they could mitigate some of the hefty TP move damage with shadows.

When did they improve the adoulin dial campaign.

A hundred years ago that *** gave airlixirs single skirmish stones and delve trash but now it's like 80% sacks of +1 stones.

(I never bother to actually open that ***, but, with the sp dial as the roe, may as well)

It's been that way since I started my LP character at least. You can also get the butterfly wings. The uhh mellidopt/pulchridopt etc.

I remember being excited to get the wings because I remembered I could trade them in for Alluvion Skirmish weapons, but then I had gotten the wings that go for the armor rather than the weapons or whatever.

Sup

Lemme ask, is there some sort of timeout restriction in place?

I noticed that my chars never get to 2 days logged before receiving the error "no response from the server".

Just wondering if its something local, or something already public known.

There isn't a hard and fast restriction, I've had characters logged in for a whole month between version updates. It does seem like the server is periodically disconnecting idle accounts though, maybe it's based on order you logged in or character ID in a way that not everyone gets hit by it.

Nah, have had multiple characters all logged in for weeks on end.

Sometimes one character will start dropping packets, R0 and get disconnected. It may happen more often depending on connection quality to SE servers from where you are.

Ffxi game to server connections are UDP, the server decides when a client has "dropped". It may be that if it loses enough packets server can decide the client is no longer enough in sync to resume without disconnection.

I'm pretty sure there is a disconnection that is not related to packet loss whatsoever, and I'm more knowledgable on XI's network communication than just about anyone who doesn't work for SE. I have experienced periods where some of my characters disconnect every couple days, while others don't, on the same connection and server, while my normal internet service isn't interrupted.

It's kind of hard to narrow down, since obviously SE isn't going to tell us they are disconnecting idle people to lower load. But, it's a definite possibility that they do.

I am 100% sure that you do :D

For what it's worth, my observations are from a low population server. It may well be related to server load.

can't remember if "cure potency" gear effects blue magic spells like magic fruit. I am assuming it does because they have Blu on pinga set?

Yeah, blue magic cures are affected by cure+ gear.

Starter sets and some idle pieces for dt/regen/refresh

One or two pieces are still usable but largely completely replaced in actual use

Anybody got a reliable solo strategy for Wyvernhunter_Bambrox?
Unity NM.

I tried on BLU, the problem is that sometimes bombs spawn out of range from your AoE and as such they explode and kill you.



Edit:
Ended up doing it with the "position NM on the corner of the arena and run out of range when bombs pop" strat.
Died once but reraised and re-engaged and eventually killed it.
What a pain though, super annoying NM.

Should be dead in one/two WS from a big single hit WS. Try Sam and Fudo->Fudo. Mines disappear when dead or don't spawn at all if can kill fast enough.

If they dont have access to haste, i would go full DD + healer.

Once the magic haste starts making difference, i would go joachim + koru-moru, healer (apururu), zeid.

If your RDM cant cast haste2, drop the RDM for another DD, maybe Ayanme.

My go to setup is Valaineral + Apururu + Joachim + Koru Moru/King + ayanme so that i can close skillchain.

Context matters but "in general"

Across the board you want pld cor whm haster*2

August/EV
Ulmia/Sylvie
Koru/KoH/Arci I
Qultada
Yoran/Apuru/Monbro/Karaha

You change pld out when you're the tank for... a stunner or Shantoto II (Selh-Teus, maybe)

If you're blm, it really depends if you're opening/closing
(what's the most optimal?) A consistent opener like turdzen II or Ayame. Or a predictable closer like Zeid II

Harder stuff You "need" Selh-Teus to keep whm from running out of mp.

You go blm and hit the procs. There's no combo better than any other combo really. It's all bad for it.

More or less zero magic procs of any kind (flash)
And each melee with a standard weapon will have 2~4 ws's. Very low odds.

Mage's will just cast 5/6/t3 they won't cast 234 am etc

I don't know if turdzen can proc, his ws's are variants.
ShikareZ has 6 Procs
Maat has 4 or 5
Curilla/Rahal/Lhe/Norille/Rainemard/Volker/Makki/Margret (4 procs)

How long is it going to take me to get a sacro breastplate on VD?
Can reasonably get it on D as well.
Drop rate is much better than Malignance and the BC fight is, I'd say, much easier than Lilith (altough this kinda depends on your setup, if you have mules etc).

Personally I farmed D completely solo (just trusts, make sure to pick the right ones) and got all Alexander drops pretty fast in a very relaxed way.



Edit:
Back when I farmed it I was on THF using Evisceration with Tauret (Rudra's Storm applies a debuff so it's a no-no) and Cornelia was available, I guess that was a big change in terms of kill speed?
When choosing trusts keep in mind you have to avoid those that land debuffs on the boss and those who use WSs that have a built-in debuff or that can make SC with your WSs.
So for instance avoid RDM trusts, avoid Joachim, but can use Ulmia, Ygnas, Monberaux and GEO trusts like Kuyin Hathdenna, Brygid and so on.
I don't remember if Sylvie's entrust debuff (Indi-Frailty) procced Alexander or not, maybe someone will add up on that.
