Yes it's gotta be a "zone" setting somewhere.
To give more example with these HP warp zonings

HP to Qufim => Can move immediately
HP to Palborough => can't move
HP to Port Bastok MH => can't move
HP to Norg => can't move
HP to WAdoulin MH => can move
HP to Wadoulin AH => can move
Warp to Wadoulin MH => can move

So yeah uhm, something else is at play here.

Dont kill poor char

Hes innocent.

If you want carpal tunnel in record time can turn it into conquest points and npc those items. Rather than being blocked by the weekly cap on Sparks/Accos to NPCables.

I realise that's probably got a buyrank6bastokgun.lua at this point

Rank 5 and it's only buyable when Bastok is in first!

Other than that it's Centurion's Axe from Rank 3 or slightly better returns on Mercenary Captain's Scythe from Rank 3 Windurst.

After sparks/accolades, look at your local prices for REMA materials, too. Direct trade for beitetsu is likely in the range of ~2500gil/voucher which is less than voiddust, but also only ~5 stacks to sell off vs ~40.

Thanks Gents.

Started over fresh with a new char and curious if there is anything new or critical for 2023 ffxi that you wish you had known beforehand to make the whole journey better from 0-ML60 again

No more hexa-boxing, just a single char was made for this run.
Been reading up on bgwiki's welcome back page but looks like it hasnt been updated in a few years

Neither has the game.

hmmm....

If i could go back in time and give advice to myself it would be:

- Farm segments every single day. Dont lose any. When you think you need take that challenge, you gonna be behind a huge time wall.
- Start farming gallimaufry as soon as you can. Given the conditions, its surely the greatest entrance point in gear if you have this option.
- make a fi follet cape.
- make an aurist cape.
- make a sailfi belt;
- make a metamorph ring
- make a marin staff
- grab the aexander cape.
- dont invest that much on GEO. people are ok with BRD+COR. invest in a COR with savage blade instead.
- level a WAR. I found that WAR is one great entrance option for DD. Mixing ambu, artifact, relic and empy, you gonna have a very solid set with WSD+37% plus lots of fencer from empy legs. Add with shield and sub DRG (can even use wyvern earring with hjarrandi set) and your dmg gonna be respectable.
- deposit your excedent job points on weapons. you never know when you gonna have your dyna full win
- farm 100 kupon I seal. Then youre garanteed for life you wont need to farm abyssea seals.
- invest in a sabotender monster in monster rearing.
- doing coalitions daily is a given.
- doing DI daily is another given


Yeah, I did the same like 3 or 4 months ago, kinda gave up after 3 or 4 leveling sessions to 99 solo. Brought back one mule to at least cleave me.

Then I feel the urge to tackle sortie and odyssey, but soloing/duoing would only get me that far. Brought more mules, and im where im right now, slow progress, but some at least.

For the npc Trisvain and viewing accomplishments.
Is there a key on which one means what?
With honors means very difficult?

Iirc it is based on the title you get when you beat them? https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:High-Tier_Mission_Battlefields

Yes, "with honors" means you beat it on VD.

Anyone know where to get this now?

I could've swore this was from Futsuno Mitama back in the days, but they changed the model.

That link takes me to the nukemara picture, I'm not sure if that's what you intended to link to, but bgwiki has the following weapons with the same model

If the GK that was linked was the one with the green handle, then altanaviewer says it's the Kumokirimaru.

Anyone have a list of all the things geomancy debuffs have been needed on? And their %?
It's just the debuffs, correct?

Nerfed? Potency i'm not positive on but it started with divergence, odin HTB got it next, gaol, sortie, and i think some ambus got retroactively bubble nerfed.

And yes, its just debuff bubbles, buffs havent been touched from what i recall

What about shinryu?

Also I leveled a geo to do wilt and barrier for Odin... Need another idea

I dont thiiiink shinryu got a bubble nerf, but could very well be wrong. Not like nerfed debuff bubbles are worthless, whole reason they got nerfed was that with +geomancy the values on % debuffs ontop of potency boosting JAs makes them absurd for a single source. A idris wilt without boosts is still 17%~ atk down before JAs on VD odin with its -75% debuff bubble potency

Keep in mind the geomancy nerf is not the same in all content.
Some content have 25% reduction, some 50%, some 75% and some all 3 in different parts, if remember correctly.

All this inconsistency is so incredibly annoying.
If you ask me, I'd rather have Geomancy nerfed in general but making it so it performs the same everywhere.

But when we talk about this we are still referring to strictly debuffing geomancy, correct?

Debuffing geomancy is the only type of geomancy that gets a reduction in specific content.
So far no reduction whatsoever for buffing bubbles.

Regarding DM augments what's the cap for things such as attack/accuracy/magic attack/magic accuracy? I had thought the cap was 50 but then I got a macc augment over 50. Is the cap 60?

anyone having issues logging into squeenix account? cant log in w/ any of my characters for 2 days now.

Im not.

What error youre seeing?

wrong password or account info. i mighta misspelled them wrong when i changed em last year maybe. their server messes up so often, i was hoping that was the issue. cuz i defintly dont have the emails for the accounts either.

hmmph guess im a complete moron, cuz i was trying to log in w/ 8 digit game code instead of my squeenix name. yeah boy.. lemme roll another.!

does the current shadow lord event drop statues ?

I figured out how to get +2 earrings;
