Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

IIRC I was using ajido vs VE or E odin and he somewhat reliably used dispel when odin put up his dread spikes (even though not always quick enough to not still get 1 or 2 rounds of auto attacks in to kill myself)

I'd also suspect it's a meva thing where some trusts (or maybe all?) don't use the spell if chance is too low they can land it. Maybe crab version of shell also provides meva?

Could try and test it again on those crabs and bring a RDM with Frazzle III and see if ajido and ovjang start dispeling again? Maybe a Marine Stewpot also works.

I'm pretty certain most trusts just don't try to dispel because they know if they can hit or not. Qutalda being my best evidence as he will use dark shot immediately when there's something to remove unless it will resist. And he never uses QD unless to enhance dia or to dispel.

I can confirm that it is the trust’s perception of their own magic accuracy. I did this exact frazzle test when mastering my RDM and the trusts started dispelling just as soon as the mobs MEva dropped.

I think it’s been discussed before, but I don’t think trust spells resist? They just won’t cast them if they lack a certain level of accuracy. There is likely an exception here for Resist traits like sleeps on PLD mobs.

Trust spells can absolutely resist. They just don't cast when their macc is low enough they would always resist.

When macc is borderline will see the odd resist from them.

True or facts I don't like?


wtf, ffxiah translates "f-a-k-e n-e-w-s" to "facts I don't like"

If you mean horse manure then yes.

I mean this:

That looks like a google AI response that’s been cropped and pieced together to look like real information.

Something about "horse manure" that is not clear?

Trust boosting is true, they have said they are working on it in interviews a few times. They are adding a system like with pup where you can add attachments to boost trust power up etc.

The entry requirements is a thing they said they know people are mad about but said it's that way for congestion, they are thinking on it but they have not said they are dropping it. They also said allowing 1 person to enter Dyna D is kind of pointless, cause it's such difficult content anyway.

Auto grouping is a thing they said they are working on and it's not far off, it will work via the current /ae channel or something. Players can offer a group, and people can apply to join etc.

They know there are a lot of solo players, and they want to make the game better for them to play. Currently it's very punishing and a lot of content is barely even possible for them.

Was anyone ever brave enough to try path a nyame?
Did you try it on rune?

Can you get enough wsd from somewhere as this job seems to suffer from both wsd and stp options?

From playing with lion heart and epo with a very paper thin set it looks like it has potential to be a better dd than nin lol

No chance.

Does anyone ever get a bug where 1 or a few of their buffs on the buff list are just blank/invisible? I'm not sure if it's because I have a .dat mod for custom buff icons or if it's just a thing with lag or something? Relogging fixes it, but that isn't always an option

I get that issue sometimes. I've heard you can fix this by toggling the status icons from 2 to 1 (or 1 to 2).

Go into the menu, under misc 1 iirc and change to icon type 2 and then back to 1.

Thank you guys!! I will try that next time :D

Sometimes if you goto a home point or something the model doesn't load and you you have to move out of range and back in for it to load. The buffs can rarely do that same thing, and you can force it to reload by changing the menu option.

Is there any way to check if my Ruspix Plate is full if I already have a shiny plate in my possession? All he says is "Just head to the diaphanous transposer", but I want to know if my second one is ready for a back to back.

If it says "head there" it's ready.

If it's not ready it will say "needs xxxx seconds to recharge."

Overwhelmed (as always) trying to return to the game - I figured a good place could be to identify any account housekeeping I may need to do.

What are some general upkeep items to take care of that every (serious) player should do? It looks like I previously completed all main storylines prior to TVR.

(bump, we got lost in the sauce with the new update)

Work on Coalition ranks, do all Mog Gardens (I know, yuck), including monster rearing, finish up Adoulin so you can get Ygnas/+1 ring if you care. Start getting into Sortie so you can earn points and upgrade empyrean +2/3, even if it's very small amounts of points per day. Do your monthly deeds, rewards cumulative bonuses (pandemonium key, mars/venus orbs, pulse weapons the notable ones), do your monthly RoE category 4 objective for silver vouchers to convert to Mars/Venus orbs (also buy 5 silvers from the NPC and get your free monthly Mars Orb). These are good to sell or use for free gear if you win. Do Odyssey for Segments (Sheol C), grab a KI and farm solo in A if you can't get a group, make some money and don't waste it. If you see shouts for it, do Weekly Vagary for sellables. Ambuscade of course. Take advantage of monthly campaigns like Job Cards, iseals, Dynamis-D. Just stay active, lots of stuff to do regularly that will get you up to speed fast.

I cant seem to add the Matter Diffusion Module to fastcs exclusions
anyone got any tips?

Do I need to enter specific wings of new Appolyon/Temenos based on the gear I want to upgrade? It's not immediately clear from reading the patch notes.

Each piece is points based

Head > 20k
Body > 30k
Hands > 15k
Legs > 25k
Feet > 10k

You can do the floors in any order

Anyone got a food spreadsheet
I wanna look at all available food status effects

now that we have 8 wardrobes, how many jobs can you reasonably play in up to i suppose HTB VD (CL 125~) on 1 character?

Are you just trying to find a complete list of effects provided by foods, or do you literally want every food item in a spreadsheet?

Unless you're trying really hard in level capped content or looking for something unique like killer effects, the more recent foods are the go to.

Depends how much you want to rely on storage slips, sack, satchel, case, and storage. Anywhere between 13-22, IMO.

I use no slips or storage (all gear used for my jobs is in my wardrobes, period). I have 9 jobs in 6 wardrobes and 10 jobs in 7. Extra space for both.
