Going from ML0 to ML30, you get:
30 STR/DEX/VIT/AGI/INT/MND/CHR
210 HP
60 MP
+30 to all main job combat/magic skills
The first three categories are slightly higher than that outside of Gaol, because you also get a small boost from your subjob being 6 levels higher.
This leads to indirect stat boosts from the attributes and skills, giving ~45 attack, accuracy, and defense in total compared to ML0.

Random FFXI / WoW question:
Is there a possible way, or does anyone know the equivalent of gold to Gil ratio in terms of equity?
To rephrase, what is 100M Gil in FFXI in WoW gold?
My cousin plays WoW and I somehow tried to explain the weight of amounts to him for the currencies.

They really aren't comparable in terms of anything other than what they sell for.
1m gil is $.50
1m gold is like $100
200x value
200 gil per 1 gold (100m XI ~ 500k retail wow)

That helps actually. Thanks.

Hey everyone, So I haven't played since around 2017 or so, besides logging in during free events to do Monstrocity, I really haven't done anything else.
I was a little curious when coming back this time, how difficult is the newer storyline? was it something you can solo, or duo? Possibly Trio?
I do have a number of mastered jobs and have 119 gear, but the last time I played was basically the introduction of that thing in Mhaura.
I'm not sure if I'd need to get new gear, or master levels, or if its easy enough.

Why do people offer/ask for SB on DRK if situation favors no SC/frag WS? Isn't resolution the default frag ws for drk or did I miss some detail casuing SB to pull ahead?

cause you might not and probably dont have the attack to support Resolution all the time. Naegling atk bonus + reso atk penalty makes a pretty huge difference in ratio, and even DRK doesnt automatically cap its attack against a lot of things especially when GEO cant be used

Yeah, pdif capping is going to depend on pt setup but even if resolution is having lower pdif, it still has the benefit of Desperate Blows ja haste, and calad AM3 which adds significant amount of dmg. 2h also has smite V for additional +29.6% attack.
On my speadsheet I am getting calad am3 reso being at least 20%-29% ahead of drk/war sb spam at capped attack, assuming no haste samba. I don't think spreadsheet shows naeg attack boost though. So it's hard to see if sb actually beats reso in practice when pdif is actually much lower. ^^;

Do we still need to quest the base AF (level 50-60 one) or was there a faster way to get them ?

Still gotta do it. You can skip a couple pieces via deeds, 1 full set of 109, 1 full set of 119+1 and 1 full set of 119+2
The 109 is 5/5 but the +1 and +2 pieces you can pick individually

It's been a while since I looked. When logging on multiple characters, when there is one out of focus (not selected), it goes slower for logging in but resumes to normal speed when selected. Is there a way around this that I may not know about?

This is actually something I found out just recently. The game fps is cut in half when it's not the primary instance. GPU just wasn't able to hold a dozen instances at 30 fps. (I never noticed cause I never cared if bots ran at 15fps until they added error:4006 and it was being caused by that fps drop)
Having better hardware is the only real work around (or dgvoodoo or smaller resolution for multiboxes etc)

Pretty sure he's talking about how playonline does everything half speed while out of focus, not anything related to FFXI itself. I don't know of any existing solution though.

Isn't it the same issue? The game cuts resources to secondary instances and having better gear fixes it.

Nah, playonline seems to have components of the UI coded to behave slower when out of focus. No amount of hardware will change it.

I'm looking for additional quad box party setups/suggestions. Primarily I'm wanting to start odyssey (Atonements & segment farms) and to finish my aeonic clears.
Currently I'm using [PUP or COR]/RUN/BRD/GEO. These 5 are pretty well geared with their respective REM gear. The RUN can switch to a mid-low grade SMN for pet stuff, but I've been otherwise fairly inflexible job wise. What job change(s) would you recommend for additional clear coverage?

Can you have both Mega Moglification and a moghancement active at the same time?

I'm using an old and basic RDM gearswap file. I'm trying to separate the Phalanx gearset I use on me with the one I use on others {for Phalanx+ gear on self, duration/skill on others). I tried to basically copy/paste what is happening with the Self Cure lines, but I can't seem to get the self Phalanx to work. The CureSelf works, and there is a defined PhalanxSelf elsewhere. Code function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' and state.Buff.Saboteur then
equip(sets.buff.Saboteur)
end
if spellMap == 'Cure' and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
equip(sets.midcast.CureSelf)
end
if spellMap == 'Phalanx II' and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
equip(sets.midcast.PhalanxSelf)
end
end

Code
function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if spell.english == "Phalanx II" and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
cancel_spell()
send_command('@input /ma "Phalanx" <me>')
end
end
Using a RDM lua from Arislan, this is the rule for it in mine and works like a charm.

Can you have both Mega Moglification and a moghancement active at the same time?
No. Only the one with the strongest aura will have effect. Even though it’s not directly labeled as such in your Active Effects KIs, all mega moglifications count as Moghancements

When augmenting gear via Heemo-Weemo, how do you get the item to +1? Initially you can trade him the item and the Coalition Grease to get to lvl 109 but he doesn't accept the trade from there. Any suggestions? Thank you!
You don’t trade anything to get it to +1. You buy the +1 directly from Vesca

So I recently did a mega catch-up with TVR missions and I was wondering what to do with the 3 necks you get in the latter ones.
Sandy one looks useless.
Bastok one looks good for... uhm, Savage Blade? And for idle if you're bastokan.
Windurst I dunno, it could be good for something but what?
I'm looking, if anything, to save some space thanks to these "all jobs" accessories, but if I can't find a proper and not nichey use I'll just put them on the mog slip.

bastok one is good for STR based WS and uncapped attack, Of course this vary per job. Idle as you said
Windurst neck is good magic WS on a ton of jobs that are not mages. Think Cata WAR MNK DRG, Aeolian Edge SAM DRK THF etc
