Booked my hotel room for tomorrow, but damn these deep sea charters are starting at $1,000 for four hours, that is an absolute scam. Guarantee they stay close to the shoreline and catch trash fish like benito and kings. I am going to have to call them each individually until I find the right one.

You don't need to take my word for it. Go out and use a non ilvl set of gear and get cast on by a random Ghost in Feiyin. Throw on a Wayfarer's set and look at the difference in damage received. There's a reason why we used Vex/attunement for a lot of bosses early on before we had this massive magic evasion stat bloat, partly enfeeble resist, but it helped a lot for magic defense of front line jobs to help resist the damage. Not needed so much now with stuff like Nyame/Sakpata's/Malignance/Empyrean +3, but same concept.

Not my first furlough. No reason to listen to the fearmongering.

This is only true if the extra meva you have from other pieces of armor is making you to resist the magic damage though. And its only been rather recently that SE has been slathering meva on armor.

Just to use Pumm Mask (literally the top piece when going down the list, I'm not cherry picking anything)
NQ 36
+1 53 (+17)
+2 63 (+10)
+3 73 (+10)
+4 98 (+25)

The stat upgrades from +3 to +4 were pretty shitty overall, but they backed up the brinks truck to upgrade the acc/macc/eva/meva on those pieces.

Oh sure I always wanted it, but it's all jobs and realistically just gives MP+15 for them. I don't really know why this ring was all jobs. MP+15 wasn't good and who is going to sub SMN and gain benefit from Avatar: Enmity+2

I thought the tradeoff for arke was you get all the resist debuff stuff without the magic evasion

I use the following:

Group1
Helix 5/5
Sublimation 5/5

Group2
Focalization 4/5
Enlightenment 1/5
Stormsurge 5/5


Focalization was from a long time ago when I felt it made a difference during Tabula to land strong helixes.
Nowadays it's probably no longer useful to me but I've been lazy to change it.

Their way of doing it is to not load the add new button if there is four accounts or more. The ui and backend can hold somewhere around 25 accounts.

generally speaking it just comes down to if you have a dnc with you. if you do its a net gain to be /war or /drg, if you dont then DW is the way to go with /nin or dnc. Not sure if /dnc samba from someone else would be enough to push to single wield but if so that's also an option.


Similar to WAR just worse since you dont get the juicy +DA dmg on 100% of your swings, build to 3k for AM then calamity until its time to re-up, not sure where it'd sit in the hierarchy of BST axes and you'd probably get similar results just using ikenga's and spamming calamity at lower TP values but if you already have the axe then go nuts

I dunno about that guarantee, eventually, of course

I don't remember my cat 1 merits, but for cat 2 most of the time I'm rocking 5/5 Enlightenment/Focalization.

I very rarely change it. I know some people do storm surge, but the bonus for that is so so low that it isn't worth it to me.

I don't see a reason to /war ever, but that is a personal opinion. The simulations noted above are also vastly different from my own. However individual play style is a factor and I personally play BST 99% of the time /dnc. The other 1% would be /drk tbh for LR using Scythe for funzies.

What merits for cat 1 and 2 are people using these days? I see lots of conflicting info

I got furloughed today with notice that my backpay is guaranteed HAPPINESS REIGNS. South Padre Island here I come.

Kudos. I figured it was real but despaired since there wouldn't be a way to distribute a patched binary that would be trustworthy.

I don't think it's the dumbest thing ever. We originally had the ability to add over 4 accounts. They took that away. If I was working on this, I'd have just left as much of the code there as I could. Product people change their mind 30 times per second. Considering they obviously had horrible source control management, this is the safest way. You don't want the product people coming back in 6 months telling you to undo the change and then the guy who originally wrote it left the company and you deleted all the code and have to figure it out from scratch again.

Can you share this data, too? It's interesting.

First (and probably only) group to clear all 4 original Salvage bosses before they added a chest at the start to give you unlocks without sneaking around the zone sniping stuff while 100% disabled.

Remember all those frogs that would only pop in certain situations that took people forever to figure out? You're welcome. (Ok so it was mostly Aurik & Wafik coming up with the ideas here, gotta give credit where credit is due.)

It was good times


Also got the 2nd Yagrush on Asura out of this. 1st (Amana) beat me by just 1 or 2 days... darn her!

Also cast the first Arise on Asura! Go WHM!

First NA Dynamis Lord attempt on Asura:

We had 2 and a half alliances for this. The linkshell was called "FUSE" (FU SE) and was a joint effort between the 3 biggest NA linkshells: Machina, Tribe, and CrysOfValour. He wiped the floor with us in about 45 seconds flat.

Also first on Asura to kill an animated weapon. It was Wafik's LS Manaburn (named such because we took no jobs in except BLM RDM BRD SMN, not even a tank). We killed Animated Club for Hitosi to finish his Mjollnir. He wasn't technically in the LS but he was the only one on the server with enough currency to actually need the animated weapon killed so we decided to see if we can kill it and brought him along. (Yes, the first relic completed on Asura was a club.)

First group as far as I know that killed all Reisenjima HELMs with SMN burns. People had just started doing Schah that way when we figured out you can do all 7. What followed was the only period in the game's history where I actually did mercenary work... I just loved SMN too much to pass it up.

odd to have gear with only a "negative" stat on it, but once upon a time someone probably used it for 'x-hit' builds since it presumably would give more tp per hit. Similarly I think there were a handful of 2 handed weapons because of this the HQ was less desirable than the NQ because the -5 delay or w/e caused an extra hit to get to 1k tp, and the +1 dmg couldn't possibly make up the difference.

You forgot MT U/O

Wait what??!! Is that actually a hidden stat on that cape?

Not necessarily this information, but it's a common theme with other community projects over the years. Gatekeep the code/process, lose interest, and the useful project is abandoned.

No.

Were people actually gatekeeping this information? My "deserve" comment above was nothing more than a bad attempt at wry humor. Gatekeeping anything in an ancient game like this is silly.

I feel that today's cars are built for drivers who don't really drive, just aim. This is so that driving will be so boring that we will welcome our L 5 self driving overlords.

Gatekeeping pointless ***is the FFXI community way. How else would those people feel important?

Who cares if the project gets abandoned with no one easily able to resume it.
