Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

TH will not increase the quality of the item(s).

Thank you for the quick reply.

I also have a question regarding the BCNM event going on right now. Have there been any reports of Hexed -1 pieces other than Jacket dropping?

So far only got reports of various nq hexed, Chamber of oracles dragon scales kc50 dropped F.Head and legs for lsmate last night.
If you check the collected ffxidb drop data, it still seems to be matching up with the bc's that were dropping rare stuff like last time.

Whats the plugin/addon that makes PC and NPC models 'brighter' and 'pop out'?

Something unloaded for some reason and characters and mob models are way darker looking.

Normally this is the default and when you highlight a character or NPC, they flash 3-4x then stay dark, but this plugin kept everyone permanently highlighted so they 'popped out'.

you mean when you push F11 on windower?

When augmenting pieces of Hagondes +1 can you get MAB > 20 using +1 stones or do you have to use +2?

That happens to me from time to time. Mostly I think its if I log in too quickly? Or possibly I logged into a mule first? I noticed this happened last time when I realized add-ons timestamp and gearswap didn't load.

Only thing I can think of to fix is reloading windower and not to select character until everything is loaded.

press F11

Might either be drawdistance (the value on it can be reset if you log out but dont' exit game) or ambient light. Forget what the default is (might be messed up if you use gearswap). To fix or change drawdistance you can just type //drawdistance set xx. As for ambient light, if the default button for it (think like proth said it's F11) isn't working, you check and edit in your scripts folder and look at init.txt. Should have a line somewhere like:
bind f7 game_forceambientlight

I thought it was the f11 thing as well, but it didn't work for me a couple times. (had to unload gearswap as well because it kept equipping my mdt set :P)

This happened yesterday, but I've logged off and restarted PC/XI. Will try that again next time though.

Yeah, that's why I changed the keybinding for it. Anyone that uses Mote's GS is gonna have conflicting issues with the default F11.

I just use +1 for my augments. Here my hagondes above 20 mab pool:

Hagondes coat (nq): 27 mab
Hagondes pant (+1): 24 mab
Hagondes cuff (nq): 22 mab
Hagondes sabot (nq): 20 mab

Mab is a damn rare augment. I think average for me is around 2 stacks for 1 mab augment, and this mab augment can be lower than double digit.

Gearswap question. What command would I need to write to lock capacity points cape in slot and also is there a way to bind it to a key for quick on and off functionality.

Good to know, thanks.

With this campaign going on, anyone know if allt he bcnms drop the same stuff ? Should you just target the one with highest number of mobs?

Transfered servers and trying to setup my character on linkshell community but when I log in to my linkshell I get "The server is currently busy and will be unable to properly transmit data. Please try again later."

Diferent bcnm have some kind of "unique" rare drop. Iirc, the 50kc orb can drop legion abjurations with fair drop rate (i know the kepri abjuration drops from avian something), the 50 hkc orb bugbear drops currencies of any kind, with very poor drop rate (alex, hmp, dyna currency) and the monarch linn drops hexed items nq and hq with very poor drop rate. From not unique drops, i believe there are the meteor and arise scrolls, as well scarletite ingot, but all those had the price crushed. Tbh, the bcnm isnt so appealing like it was when first was released. Its good to restock kupon I seal to save the trouble of farming abyssea seal.

if you use motentens gearswap files, you can use a set you may or may not actually use. i mean, though most of my idle sets are dt based, theyll have movement speed equipment in them for obvious reason. based on that, i decided to use kiting as a way of doing what youre asking about. hit alt+f12 to toggle it on or off. itll do exactly what you want it to do.

sets.Kiting = {back="Mecisto. Cape"}

Really depends on what you want to see drop.
Nest of Nightmares because is popular, ls had people get -1 hexed from that last time.

KC50 Dragon scales is a favorite with friends at the moment cause people still want F.Head and the legion droprate is terrible. That bc drops only the Foreboding Abj set.
It also drops Kupon A-Lum if you want sea cape/torques.
Out of like 10 orbs last night got 2 F.body, F.Legs, F.Hands and 3 Kupon A-Lum. It does not seem to drop any finished hexed pieces, not even NQs.

Each bcnm monster can drop the rare stuff, in 1 run each monster dropped an abj(Fody+leg) and about ~6 random other things. So much stuff drops from the monsters you'll want to sort the pool before each one dies and before popping the chest cause stuff will start autosorting.

Easy duo in under 5mins with THF/dnc and Rdm/Whm. Just have mage turn their back so they don't get stoned, idle in pdt set cause the hate on this one gets weird (only redo aquaveil+stoneskin and rehaste THF after the constant full dispels)

Does Paparoon tell you how much Alex you have turned in?

Only when you trade him alex, he'll tell you how many are left, otherwise you can't just talk to him to find out, as far as I know.

Thanks, this is what I was lead to believe as well, thanks for confirmation

Where/who does Isa Belt drop from?

Kamhir Delve boss

Do the TP Bonus effects from Atmacite of Latitude and Atmacite of Dark Designs stack with each other and with Moonshade?
