if anyone needs something silly awesome done, let me know
Well, I will take your offer then.
I need something better than this image, to appear more like my favorite dog, the brazillian caramel mutt

Carbuncle.Maletaru said: »Side note: the idea that people are locked behind psyches at this point is insane. Psyches came out years ago and have been available every month since. Are there really people out there with 0 psyches, starting a prime? What is the scenario, here? Someone who hasn't played for the last 3 years and now suddenly jumped into an 8 boss group running 7 days a week for 6 months straight without missing a day? Very few, if any, players are sitting on muffins they can't spend because they're out of psyches.
Anecdotally, I know a handful in this position, including myself.
Otherwise, you're 100% correct. If sortie was so easy, Even 8 boss runs, then many more players would be doing it. Even on Asura CAGE shouts are still common. The fights themselves are not too difficult, but the coordination and commitment is what is challenging.
Also its 8.52m for a stage 5 prime? Unless K123 meant starting from stage 3. Weird stipulation |

do you still get the 138 defense from null masque or did it get nerfed to 0 defense?
They dedicated a entire set to sword enhancement spell damage? Glad to see RDM finally getting the buffs it so desperately needs. I'm getting 213 defense equipping Null masque vs an empty slot. So that's 50 VIT x 1.5=75+138=213 |

Way at the bottom it’s saying in the notes that Null Mask and Prishe boots just got nullified? Did I read that correctly? Lol

Noone said anything about multiboxers either, more *** nonsense. there's no way to do Animon HQ with less humans than 6 (or maybe 5 if just doing it slow?)
Dis you? |

I was getting worried something happened to you dude! Glad you're all good

I did not say "Sortie is not hard". For real though, I'm not super elitists pos but there (other than Ody V25 that you only have to beat once) no real challenging content in the game that sets hardworking players out from average Joe.

there's no way to do Animon HQ with less humans than 6 (or maybe 5 if just doing it slow?) so they are not really comparable IMO.
I've done 9 boss with 5 humans (1 definitely cheating tho) so you don't have to be slow if you're down a human. Definitely done 8 boss with 4, could probably do it with 3, but not all my friends 2box so it rarely comes up.
You talk about all the old content being difficult...but only if you're undergeared and/or low man. So uh...it's not difficult as designed? You can try to do current content low man, I'm sure you'll find it challenging...
The idea that kings (content with basically 0 mechanics) are challenging but Sortie is not...is a joke. Sorry. Sortie would be challenging too if you had 3 characters with sparks gear, that doesn't mean the design of the content is challenging, it just means you're an underprepared idiot. |

Does anyone out there have any of these titles? I have 2 questions:
1.) Does it show up for you in the output of Title Inverter?
2.) Are any Title NPCs able to let you choose this title after you've obtained it?
I'm guessing the answer to both of these questions is No. If that's the case, are any other titles out there that are like this and outside of Title NPCs checks?
No to both. I don't believe there's any others.

3.) Is receiving this title from the bard a lower chance/diluted by already having more titles?
4.) Is any 1 bard in particular more likely to grand these titles than another? (less title options to pull from?)
Anecdotal, but my partner who has very few titles was able to get all four titles very quickly from the bard in Mhaura. It took me about a week or so of spamming the same bard every hour. I have roughly 900 titles.
Any bard can give them, but it might help to stick with the same one to increase your chances.
Your first FFXIAH post? Thank you for your reply, even if anecdotal, and welcome to the forums! :D |

I made pages for the new armor pieces (NQ/+1/+2) but there is only so much I can do from my work computer. Hope I didn't step on your toes too much.

So I found an impossible to gauge Cluster mob in Temenos C3, pulled it to exit and killed it. No ??? appeared. Is it back to being bugged and unobtainable?

...I even posted in that conversation. Thank you! |

Did you guys know there's a button you can hold to move the cursor faster across the map when you are selecting regions/zones. I can't recall which though.
Being that I'm one of those nerdy dudes who reads game manuals and stuff, I dunno if I saw it in a manual or anything. I may have accidentally discovered it or saw it in update notes when/if it was added (assuming it wasn't always there).
I just looked through the manuals I can find. In my original ps2 copy manual (it's reasonably thick for a ps2 game manual), there's a similar function described for Play Online for scrolling up and down. But I couldn't find anything in the FFXI section about the alt/control keys other than macros. In the collectors edition for pc manual it also only has macro functions listed. Neither manual has any page dedicated to navigating inventories other than the original gives a brief instruction on when it says "select this" it means using direction buttons to select and press X to confirm. I can't find my Xbox version of FFXI case, so it's prolly in a box somewhere, so I can't verify it's not in that.
I've always used a controller to play and holding the controller macro buttons (I believe L2/R2) do the same thing letting you page down through lists. I could have easily discovered it by mistake, but I'm pretty sure if they added it in an update at some point they'd put it in the notes. But that prolly would suck looking thru all the update notes ever.
Have you guys checked the in game guides if there is anything. Under the macro and config entries somewhere in the menu is some "how to" stuff, though I can't remember the name on the button atm. Might be just "Help."

So the only benefit of the new areas is unlocking chest upgrades? like you don't get any units or drops from the new area NMs themselves?

Only checked like 8ish bards, but Tavnazia indeed seems to be the zone I have the least amount of titles for. I had 37 there where as every other bard I checked was 50+ |

How do you figure out exactly what the CN's requirements are? Just trial and error?

For real though, I'm not super elitists pos but there (other than Ody V25 that you only have to beat once) no real challenging content in the game that sets hardworking players out from average Joe. No, primes do not. A prime is locked behind 6 months of psyches, 6 months is 180 days so to make 7,500,000 galli you technically only need to make 42k a day. Animon is not hard.
This logic is kind of flawed? Yes you only need 42k a day but that assumes you go 7 days a week for an entire 6 months in a row not missing a single day. Feasible? Sure. Likley? Idk. If you’re going 7 days a week and getting 40+ every time it means you are either in a static or the most successful shout pugger in history…or 6 boxing it. 2 out of 3 of those lends itself to just doing 8 boss, and probably 9 anyway.
I’d much rather 9 boss 4-5 days a week and miss a week here and there because everyone’s RL insanity takes precedence, and not have a single worry about muffin progress. This doesn’t speak to difficulty, it’s more about time spent:reward ratio. |

All you are saying is that all in-game problems are solvable, and that all of the current in-game problems have been solved (by other people, and then you use their strategies, no doubt). I still want to know how SE "expects" Bumba V25 to be done. There's not a strategy (that I've heard of) that doesn't require some good luck with the specific auras, which feels like the kind of thing that should be able to be eliminated.
Maybe not, and their testers really did Kaustra it to death if they killed it at all? But maybe. |

With the exception of Absolute Virtue, no content was particularly difficult after we figured it out. You might as well say Salvage gear was locked behind bad drop rates or something. Relics were locked behind being super rich, buying gil (and then dyna currency), or having a dedicated LS to funnel resources to you (75 era). Mythics were locked behind the patience of obtaining enough alex (again, 75 era). Primes are locked behind having a dedicated/competent group of 6, or multiboxing, and getting your psyches.
All you are saying is that all in-game problems are solvable, and that all of the current in-game problems have been solved (by other people, and then you use their strategies, no doubt). Yes, this is true. But this was always true about FFXI after new content was available to good players for (approximately) a week (by their nature, this is true of all RPGs). The "gates" have always been a combination of knowledge, mechanics (before all the add-ons), patience/time, and a solid group. The gates are still the same.
If you want a game that skill-checks you, play League, or Street Fighter, or something mechanically demanding. If you want a problem solving challenge, find new ways to beat current content, or play a different game. |
