Seems to be an issue with POL's rss feed, as bg is also not getting anything new

To be clear, the sentence you copied from bgwiki is not incorrect - it's just that you don't benefit from gear past TH8 combined. So proc'ing higher is just a matter of chance and (at that point) not influenced by you having any more TH gear. Hence, being equipped in TH14 worth of gear is exactly the same as being in TH8 worth of gear (including traits). The inverse proportion is still a thing. The difference in level just stops being favorable to you.
At least, according to Thorny(?)'s testing? Been a minute.

You said: So anyone that only builds TH8 maximum will never see more than TH8. False
Furthermore, testing afaik has been far from conclusive that TH 9+ affects the upgrade rate once you get over TH 8 on the mob. Does TH 9+ actually affect higher tiers of TH upgrade rate? We don't know.
What we know for sure, is if you hit a mob with TH 8, your first proc will upgrade it to 9.
iirc, we have seen an increase in upgrade rate going from TH 4 to TH 8 in gear. I don't believe there is any testing that has clearly shown a difference in upgrade rate between TH 8 and TH 14 for gear.
Ok, than the text I put in bold needs to be removed from the Treasure Hunter page on BGwiki. That' all I'm saying.
And thank you for deleting my retarded comment from the Hoxne Ring page.
Wow, I didn't know people had the ability to hack into other peoples posts on this site... that's..... interesting.... |

@Sterk the reason slaughterhouse IV is available and not II/III is because the higher ones are exclusive to the northlands whereas II/III is just a higher tier of the regular op. So if an allied nation/your nation has control of a northlands area you will get the IV/V rank ops. things like intel gathering/offensive ops are the reverse, the high tiers wont show if the allied nations have the northlands
If say, sandy has xarcabard and bastok/windy have high recon, they will also have the northlands ops available, if the nations recon score is low that week, you wont see them in the list.

The person running this server is an obese psychopath, that will happily use the information he gets from you to use against you if you do anything to annoy him at a later date.
If you play on a private server it is not like playing on a retail server, not only does this man get your IP address, but user names and passwords (which if used elsewhere they can use to login to other stuff), there are also few legal protections (since it's illegal in the first place) and so the character of the man running it is always very important.
Also every chat system you use in the game is logged by him to read anytime he wants, and he can read anything you say in party chat, linkshell chat and tell for his own enjoyment (same for every private server).
I'm not a fan of Spicyryan but what Carver did to him and his wife was some omega level BS and more than that just shows you what a disgusting turbo slob mentalist Carver is, cause if he will do it to him he will do it to you too if you annoy him.
Post by atom0s:
Quote: Hello everyone,
This post will be covering the, now-concluded, situation regarding Carver and why he is now perma-banned from this community as well as other FFXI related communities. For those unaware, Carver is the original and current owner of the CatsEyeXI private server. This past week has resulted in him being permanently removed from this community for doxing another person, Spicyryan.
Note: The person that Carver doxed (Spicyryan) is also perma-banned from this community for constant problematic and shitty behavior. While the majority of us do not give a ***that he was doxed and see it more as karma, it still is against our guidelines and rules as a community. Regardless if someone is a shitty person, it does not give others the right to dox them. Please understand that us banning Carver is in NO WAY saying that we approve of the actions/behavior of Spicy or that we in anyway are 'taking sides' with Spicy on anything. He is still banned as well and that will not change. Quote: tldr
For those that don't want to read this full post; here is the conclusion of this matter.
After our investigation and information collecting; our ruling has been to fully and permanently ban Carver from this community. The following is a list of actions we have taken against Carver and his server in general:
Reddit
Carver is now perma-banned from this sub.
Any CatsEyeXI staff that were moderators have been removed from the mod team. (To avoid retaliation and conflict of interest.)
Any CatsEyeXI threads going forward, for the time being, will be locked and removed. (The discussion of this server is not welcome here for the time being.)
Comments that mention CatsEyeXI will be moderated accordingly based on their contents. (Recommending the server will still be allowed, but anything else regarding it will be removed.)
Any CatsEyeXI news/staff made threads will also be removed for the time being. (Sorry to those caught in the cross-fire of this who are staff on said server.)
Discord
Carver is now perma-banned from our Discord.
The CatsEyeXI channel has been locked with a warning as to why.
The CatsEyeXI staff role has been removed.
The remaining CatsEyeXI staff members have been removed from the private discussion channels with the rest of the community leaders and server owners.
GitHub
Carver is now perma-banned from our GitHub organization and repositories.
The CatsEyeXI advertisement page has been reverted to the default base page and now includes a warning about the owner being banned.
The CatsEyeXI advertisement page is now locked from future edits.
Additionally, Carver has been perma-banned from several other locations and communities related to FFXI. This includes communities such as Ashita and LandSandBoat. (Please note; this community is not directly associated with other communities or projects. Those communities and projects are free to make their own choices on who they do or don't ban and if they decide to enforce any kind of community wide punishments on matters like this.) |

(this is just me speculating)
I've got to believe that getting some unique large scale quests (campaign ops/coalition assignments/recovering the AC/expeditionary force) done may help you get a few points towards Mastery Rank I'd doubt anything would be a hard requirement, just because it'd be terrible game design (touche to anyone that mentions limbus NM) some of the stuff happens (seemingly) randomly, I think there was one series of coalition assignment to help setup the frontier station and basically if you didn't do them the week they came out you're pretty much never able to do them. The location of the AC is something 1 player can't control.
Because there's so many collectively if you've done them all it probably helps (I think I've done them all), but if you're just missing 1 or 2 (that are most likely completely out of your individual control, especially ones that require the server to "fail" at tasks) doing them likely means effectively nothing in the grand scheme.
Likewise "redoing" work (de-leveling crafts/tossing shields) may or may not "help", but probably isn't required.
Also I guess touche to anyone who points out they put AV and PW in the game....

Or did briefly
Or tried to

That would be slightly difficult as I only have 4 back buttons on my controller and 10 boxes I'd like to cycle through :D
Pick 6 you wish to see sent to the great gig in the sky. |

Catseye is the server that kicked Spicy out of the whole community right? Bonus points.

Bind the command on each box to swap to the next box. Then the same button moves forward in order.

That would be a simple problem to solve, just bind the command to switch to the specified box.

I too got 9 skill and 20 duration in about 30 crystals. I've been trying for 10/20 for a bit but no dice, but then again I only do it when I have some crystals that I mostly only ever get from an UNM farm session. I tried with over 50 stacks (stacks, not singles) of Refractive Crystals, it's probably way way more but this is what I tracked.
Mind this happened over many, many years.
I walked out with a +8/20 duration cape and a +10/18 duration cape.
I use the second in Temper/Enspells, the first for everything else.
I wanted inventory +1 but alas, SE doesn't want me to!
An old LS friend of mine, had a perf RDM cape. All 4 stats were maxed XD |

How do you get missing Campaign Ops to show up? From searching I found a thread (from 10 years ago) that suggested spamming the highest available tier to unlock the next tier, but then I have instances like this that might be contradictory to that claim.
Edit: Well, Streetsweeper II popped after doing Streetsweeper I 5 times on 3 different characters (dunno if that means you have to do it 5 times personally or 15 times across the server), so I guess I got my answer. Still weird how Slaughterhouse has only I and IV available.
Double Edit: Can confirm it's a server effort. Did Streetsweeper II 6 times on 2 characters and SS III wasn't available. Finished SS II a 6th time on my 3rd character and SS III became available for all characters.
Gonna @Byrth on this one, lol. We did them all and he probably remembers more of the unlocking nuance than myself. Basically just tons of repetition, but some are locked based on campaign areas available or under beast men control |

That's the primary point of failure.
While square sucks. They're still better than being at the mercy of private owner corruption and hissy fits.

Is there any chance to add cycling back through the hotkeys method?
If so this would completely remove my reliance on ffxo switchmon :D There is an addon for that, switch_focus, it is in the windower launcher. Ashita has something similar I believe it is called focus
That sadly cycles by alphabetical order, which is a big no go for me. I have my characters in a certain order that i'd like to keep them in :( |

locked 6-man content is fine provided the content isnt:
a-gated by a daily entry
b-uses individual currency
c-a fine line in player skill, gear and knowledge can be the difference between an 80k galli run and a 20k galli run
Skirmish was 6 man content, no one complained about it.
BCNM's were mostly 6 man content, no one complained ever. ENM's were a bit restrictive with their 5 day lockout.
Assaults were 6 man content, but you didnt even need 6 for most of them.
Ambuscade has been 6 man content, no one complained.
I'm really not sure what other major endgame content over the years was tied to 6 people. Meeble Burrows maybe?
I think it helps that Dynamis, Omen, and Delve were relevant 18-man content at the time to compliment that 6 man content. There was variety. Now it's all 6 man only for relevant content. Dynamis and Omen are still relevant in that it's useful for people gearing up new jobs, or new / returnee players, but it's the last 18-man content we've received in almost a decade...That being said, it's really fun going in and steamrolling stuff while helping people. Nice change of pace compared to the min/maxing high-paced Sortie / v25 progression, while in a big group setting. It sort of depends what you would consider as 'relevant' content, but for endgame content we have:
6:
Ambuscade
HTMB
Odyssey
Sortie
Sinister Reign (lol)
6+:
Divergence
Geas Fete
Limbus
Omen
UNM
Vagary
Delve
Besieged (lol)
Domain Invasion (LOL)
Again, depends what one considers relevant. I haven't done Domain Invasion or Besieged in months. Now whether players choose to actually engage in 6+ man content with that many characters is a whole different story. But you can, in fact, bring more than 6 people to them, even Limbus (though nobody does). |

This is insane, I can't be arsed to chase mastery level for the one earring Correct. |

Also Matters dont have the CanSendPOL flag, so you cant even get them on alt's and send to main.
yeah that's why I said it was a poor financial decision by SE, everyone's alts they activated for this past month for old cases are gonna be deactivated lol. |

Very disappointed they are not instanced.
Should have been instanced: Each tower gives a KI, need all 4 to enter Omega/Ultima in their respective zone. Everyone that enters loses their 4 KIs like Ou.
Instead its just more trash mob Limbus for weeks on end. I am not even sure how they fix this event fumble.
I would of liked it instanced the same way Omen was, you could do it with 6, or with 18, players choice. Each tower or area ends with a mini-boss and KI. Turn them all in for a Ultima / Omega super fight. That would of been awesome while still allowing our friends to tag along and not limiting us to a six man static. |

This has been Fujito's vision for the game and he's said as much since he took over for Matsui. Limbus, Vana'bout, Besieged, this is the kind of content I think we should be expecting during his tenure. The playerbase was very vocal with their disdain for 6-man content in Odyssey and Sortie, and this is about as far from it as you can get. The issue is there is absolutely zero way to balance open world content in this game to be challenging, fun, and beatable for all levels of player interaction and gear level. |
