Is the Recast formula on BG wiki correct?
Supposing it is, then I must be doing something wrong.
Anybody mind fixing what's wrong in the way I'm calculating it?
Let's pretend I'm like 5 years old, because that's probably my level of math skill.

Duh, that was a very dumb mistake on my side, but the final number still doesn't work alas.
There must be some other silly error in the numbers I put in there?
Man, that sure would be nice if they changed it to DT- II to give it Bravura more of a purpose. Similarly, would be nice if Kikoku AM gave Subtle Blow II instead of easily capped SB1.
My unrelated question:
For the Dathba line of Besieged weapons, do any of the special Besieged only stats (for example, the crit hit dmg +50% on dagger) apply to your mainhand if the Dathba weapon is offhanded?
I assume the OAT only applies to the weapon itself (and not your weapon in the other hand), and also assume that all of the Dathba weapon stats work on itself if it's in the offhand - but I guess confirmation of that would also be good.
Has SE given more details on the Vana'bout Exemplar Points 2x bonus that's gonna start next month?
"2x max 500k" is a bit generic.
I suppose it's a one-time thing? So once you gain a total of 500k EP it's over and you go back to 1x EP per kill?
And I wonder if they mean 500k of "bonus" or 500k total.
Because if it's 500k total then it means that the "free" EP you're getting is just 250k, which I mean don't get me wrong, it's still something, but... whoa, talk about being stingy
Of the 20ish XP/CP rings in the game that give a similar bonus, did you ever question if the bonus is its listed value or if it was "total"? Did you look at Facility Rings and go "is the bonus 30k or is it actually only 10k after the 150% bonus"?
Theres no reason to believe the EP bonus is actually 250k bonus. Considering 500k is what you need to hit ML15 or only ~2% of the way to ML50 with a small buffer, I'd be surprised they'd pull that kind of bait and switch over such a minuscule number. And I'm pretty sure the JP community would be equally vocal about it.
I read it that way the first time, and considered posting the same thing Sechs said. The exact text is:
The exemplar points earned by defeating monsters will be doubled. (Up to a total combined amount of 500,000 points)
However, I ultimately decided that it is unlikely. They probably mean the 'combined amount' of all kills that awarded additional EP. I don't think they'd cut it to a 250k bonus like that.
Considering how extremely wary they've been so far about adjusting anything even just remotely related to Exemplar Points, I was kinda looking for the worst case scenario, and their wonky wording sort of led me further into that.
I mean, since 2002 we've known that if something SE put out in English may be the slightest bit confusing, go to the Japanese source: http://www.playonline.com/ff11/vanabout/
Is there a command/syntax to switch targets mid-battle? Just died to something because the game strangely locked me on Joachim and the battle command "Disengage" was not accessible. I couldn't put away my weapon even typing /disengage, was unable to switch targets (and couldnt run away and disengage because the mob followed me, so the trust I was locked on did too). I was forced to Release Joachim or dismiss trusts, then it corrected, but then it caused me to die. Super annoying.
Ok I was typing /disengage in panic even though the command was /attack, so that was user error on my part. Hopefully I don't get that again, but I vaguely remember this happening before and also wasn't able to disengage by any means. Thanks for the info.
So I'm trying to skillup mog garden on my mule and I'm stuck on the Creel of Moat Carp from the Pond.
Used 12 Super Baitball, 12 days, it's currently level 4 and there's Kuyin Hathdenna to power it up.
I know Super Baitball doesn't make it 100% but what kind of rate am I looking about here?
Done Mog Garden on my main aeons ago and I totally do not remember.

Don't disengage > reengage, just "Switch target" to the mob you want. Much less time wasted since you aren't stowing then drawing your weapon.
For those of you that visit Bg you already know the premise of this thread but for those that don't, it's simple.
