5 shards and 2 matters per rank cannot possibly be correct. None of the armor pieces are good enough to warrant such a process / time commitment.

Does anyone know what the augments look like yet?

So each rank is 5 shards and both zones Matters? No, thats just for the jewel
Ok...so it takes 5 shards of trust, 1 murky matter, and 1 alabaster matter to create the purification item "Jewel of Camaraderie." The HQ1 item has 30 levels of RP, and the first 2 levels are 750/1600 units, so looks similar to the accessories (12 weeks to max).
From what it looks like, the jewel is related to uncursing the armor.
So 5 shard + ala matter + murky matter -> Jewel of X
Shard of Hope (HM) -> Jewel of Rev.
Shard of Trust (EV) -> Jewel of Cam.
Shard of Bravery (TT) -> Jewel of Per.
Shard of Justice (MR) -> Jewel of Des.
Shard of Mercy (GK) -> Jewel of Aff.
Jewel of Rev. uncurses Apathy / Defeat / Ignorance set, which becomes Hope / Perfection / Revelation (WAR / BRD / NIN)
Jewel of Cam. uncurses Arrogance / Bravado / Irreverence, which becomes Trust / Prestige / Sworn (WHM / RDM / PLD / DRK / BLU / RUN)
Jewel of Per. uncurses Cowardice / Nothingness / Despair, which becomes Bravery / Intrepid / Indomitable (BLM / SMN / SCH / GEO)
Jewel of Des. uncurses Envy / Jealousy / Resentment, which becomes Justice / Magnificent / Duty (MNK / THF / BST / PUP / DNC)
Jewel of Aff. uncurses Rage / Hatred / Wrath, which becomes Mercy / Grace / Clemency (RNG / SAM / DRG / COR)

This is so amazing. You, once again, have perfectly captured the essence of subject you have painted. This dragoon, their wyvern, even the place you chose has a special meaning for me personally.
You have done something I thought impossible. you have captured a lifetime in FFXI and wrapped it up in a single, amazing, perfect picture. For me, it does not get any better than this. Way to go Demhar, way to go man.

Yes. Also, first 3 levels of units/RP line up with the accessories. Was expecting HQ1 to have 25 RP levels, like the necks, but it has 30, which is nice for being able to level it up and transfer when needed. I would guess NQ would be the same too (30 levels of RP)?

My opinion
Empyrean
MUST: Head, feet, legs (PDL* but depends on WS and Nyame rank; doubles as a high accuracy piece).
NICE TO HAVE: Hands for RF
OPTIONAL: Body as a low haste piece.
Relic
MUST: Head for Waltz/Trance, Legs for jig and WSD
NICE TO HAVE: Body for NFR but it doesn't need to be ranked higher than +1 I think for the bonus
OPTIONAL: hands for Fan Dance, feet used to be good but Empyrean are more versatile even with the lower STP. Perhaps +5 bring it back to life
Artifact
MUST: Body for Waltz, hands +4 are BIS for most WS
NICE TO HAVE: Head for Samba duration, but doesn't need to be upgraded past +1. Also doubles as a step accuracy piece, but that's kind of a misnomer nowadays.
OPTIONAL: feet for jig or waltz, but neither are needed for either purpose and waltz sets are better off defensively not utilizing these Bismarck.Drakelth said: »What are the MUST have AF / RELIC / EMP pieces? Not seeing it on the guides. ChatGpt recommended AF Feet, Relic Body, Empy Head, Empy Hands. I have everything +3 or better but af legs and relic hands are on slips
Thank you :)

Once KI1 does enough physical dmg he stop taking physical dmg. He only gains the cumulative resistance while aura is up. A group that was capable of proccing with dmg:1 weapons and other techniques to minimize resistance could theoretically do a third KI (or even an entire alternative strategy).
Nobody really wanted to try anything like that after a winning strat was found, though. Denounce doesn't make it all that appealing either.

He only builds the DT reduction in fetter mode though, right? So if KI1 hits 74% triggering first add before then(EZ) and then dies, he hasn't built any DT of either type at all (or likely some small% of physical).

Asura.Bronzequadav said: »Is the RP used to augment zone specific or can you use either zone to augment a piece of gear?
Can confirm, you can use either zone's units for augments. So looks like shards/matters will be limiting factor.

Oh I agree, it just I lost count how many times people freaks out when you mention run a basic <insert your package manager> command.
I might just be biased from working with RHEL and using Linux desktops for more than a decade.

So are the shards you get race-specific? So far I've seen:
Justice - Mithra
Hope - Hume
Bravery - Tarutaru
Mercy - Galka

Decided to boot up the Ubuntu 24 laptop and see how I have it setup. Inside the Wine64 prefix windower.exe starts up, updates itself, then crash's itself. Running pol.exe from the same prefix starts up FFXI which updates and runs fine. Likely there is some sort of new dependency on the windower.exe side so I'll dig around until I can find whatever MS library it's calling.

Really surprised there's no 3 KI cook up for Bumba V25 tbh.
Seems like 2nd KI's RNG lends itself, if you can go all the way after a Wild Card V or VI but had bad auras/resists on Impact/Kaustra, that Bumba gets down to between 16%~4%
Feel like some combo of leftover jobs should be able to at least do that much with use of unused SP2s/reset SP1s.
Seem like other than the COR's and SCH's SP1s, there's 4 other SP1s and seemingly idk, 4 or 5 SP2s to still use?
Something like MNK DRK DNC PUP SMN and PLD or THF maybe for KI3 seems plausible to me? Idk. Maybe I'm just not in the know.
But you could leverage SMN buffs with DNC debuffs with Dia II from Puppet on top of Penance Chi Blast and Soul Enslavement. Just dunno if PLD for healing/attempted add management with Majesty Cures or THF for Feint and forced crit WSes. Perfect Defense should buy you 1 minute of engagement time, with Penance Chi Blast and Soul Enslavement buying another 30 seconds, maybe? Forced Crit WSes from THF and DNC. Haste Samba along with Hastega II means I think everyone can cap delay reduction. The Monk, PUP, DNC, and THF(if it's there instead of PLD) just have to lean into Martial Arts/Dual Wield gear a little bit more than usual.
Everyone gets a 3k TP start. SMN could also Mewling or idk, something.
But I guess if something like that would work, it woulda been cooked up by now.

Ive been tinkering with AI - mostly Stable Diffusion and learning to use Local LM- Been enjoying making and editing pics with AI for the most part. Gemini has helped me a ton on fixing my programs and optimizing a lot - I feel good about learning more.
Here are some examples of what I can do - Taking Pantas Comic pic from a couple of threads ago -
For comparison purposes - Google Nano Banana - 245 seconds - Clean - Not local but its clean - took 2 tries
5090 - Comfyui - Qwen - 4 step - 40secs - 1try
5090 - Comfyui - Qwen - 20step - 2mins - 1try
(Really can't see the difference outside of ink)
"But Nickeny, Nanobana beat you bro"
SD Upscale 4x - 1min
Yes, it lost some clothing detail, but considering I'm just some scrub learning from YouTube videos and asking AI for help, I think I am moving in the right direction.
I learned Loras and how to make them ,Winanimate,Wan2.2, infinitetalk too - and now got RFC Voice now too - Its what in unison this can do -I mostly use forge and Comfyui now
Thanks for coming
Bonus - Created a Nickeny Lora file - Now he is the Cute *** NTRing Sirical in front of panta
I should make FFXI comics...

Oh, so it showed 3k, because I was capped and cap raised by 3000. I understand. Thx!
So I guess now it will be visible by amount of stuff that drops. Gold chest 5k drop seems to be significantly better than 3k.

were you capped units?

btw I thought I understand how to open chests to get 5k, but apparently I don't understand. One week I opened 5k chest at first try, then I opened 5 chests each in different tower and none of that was 5k. I thought 5k chest is preselected and can't move from tower to tower and we should switch towers to find it.

~10-12 weeks to upgrade one piece to rank 30. One year to upgrade a set. No wonder they allow to transfer augments lol
