I only get 8 in 6 (MNK, THF, BLM, BRD, COR, DNC, SCH, RUN). I carry stupid stuff like an enmity set for DNC, though. Some jobs just take a lot of space with weird job specific sets (PLD and SMN stay in my MH).

If you use your inventory for storable JSE (via PorterPacker?), you can probably do a lot more, though. I have been considering it but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

HTB VD could cut a lot of sets, I think? Just need a DT TP set and WS set for every melee, so maybe 22?

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

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.
I was hoping for a way to search through all the effects
Like how many have both attack and accuracy
Accuracy and defensive buffs etc

The best you can do is bg, it's far from perfect but it's the best available.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Food

Scroll down and pick a sub category, attack, defense, acc etc

Advanced search on xiah isn't too bad either, you can set the level to 0 to exclude equipment. As long as you use a decent search term it shouldn't have too much extra junk:

I had a ROM dat file that disabled the #$@! annoying "New Objective" ROE popup and sound effect for the every four hour ROEs, does anyone remember what that is and where it is?

Thank you for those suggestions
I wasn't sure how much got cut off with the ah search to be reliable enough
And I was not sure how faithful the bg category pages were.

Thanks, the goal is to be able to play "any" job on a rainy day for random content as needed and I was hoping that was now reasonable with the expanded inventory space.

How would I make a blank gearswap whos purpose is to just clear out inventory quickly? I know this sounds simple, but for whatever reason, I must be doing something wrong.

I took one of my gearswaps, stripped it down as bare as I could to the following:
Code
--basic template
require 'organizer-lib'

-- Initialization function for this job file.
function get_sets()
    mote_include_version = 2
    include('Mote-Include.lua')
end

-- Setup vars that are user-independent
function job_setup()
    -- Put any additional setup here
end



-- Define sets and vars used by this job file
function init_gear_sets()

    -- Precast set
    sets.precast = {main="Naegling"}
end


function job_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
end


function job_midcast (spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
end


function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
end



I left some of the functions incase they were needed for whatever reason, but removing them changes nothing in expected behaviour.

I can load it fine
//gs equip sets.precast equips Naegling as expected
but //gs org doesnt work as expected

Is there something else organizer expects to be in there for it to do the inventory dumps?

If it matters, I set organizer to not touch items, just move unused equipment to sack/satchel/case. In this scenario, all 3 bags have empty room, and there are movable items in my inventory.

They'll probably tell you to sort stuff the way you want it and then make a snapshot.

Not sure cause it always seems to ***the bed but I don't think it tries to tidy bags, just grabs the items... till it shits the bed.

I dont care about the order or keeping things tidy. Im trying to tell it to put all equipment in bags.

When i load my blu lua and run org, it grabs all my blu equipment listed in sets that is not in inv/wardrobe and puts everything else in sack/satch/case, space provided. It does the same with my drk, nin, pld, wtv.

I want to do the same thing, but i want to skip the “grab” part and just go right to the put away part.

I don't think organizer (via gs org) can do that. If you have no items specified, it doesn't need to sort anything away.

But then why does it put things away? If i hop on my blu, run gs org, it will move gear around as specified above. If i then manually pull something that is unused in my blu gs and run gs org again, it will put that item away.

I also specified naegling for that reason, since it usually stays in wardrobe and it has stuff to look for.

Unless thats the problem, its in wardrobe and not main?

I thought this was based on freeze and not the gear that is listed in your lua. Wouldn't you move the unused item to your inventory and freeze again before gs org would move the item correctly?

Each piece is points based

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

You can do the floors in any order
But I mean like East North West Centeral Temenos. Do I need to do each of them for something? or does it not matter and it's probably just part of Omega/Ultima returning in a future update?

You need to do each tower and each floor for temporary items
Then you spend all of those to open the chest
The first time is a ki to use the upgrade furnace
Appollyon is af
Tenmos is relic
The second time you get a buff
There's a buff in each area
Getting the 2 area buffs gives a 3rd buff

The server is graded based on chests open increasing the power of the buffs

No idea, probably some old guides. You could also search for your level and job on ffxiah advanced item search, or go to the page for each slot on bg wiki and sort by level.

It's likely going to be a very manual process because very few people are gearing low level jobs so there isn't any demand for this kind of guide, especially not considering there are 22 jobs and gear choices vary between them all.

Maybe organizer only attempts to remove some items and once you have enough free space it stops the loop?

I've mentioned befor that organizer shits the bed regularly, in particular on BLU. When ever I brought it up all I got was "it's a user issue" without pointing out what I'm doing wrong.

sparks gear until 50, AF from 50-77, abyssea cruor gear from 78-98. only thing I can think of investing gil into would be a scorpion harness or haubergeon. otherwise, empress hairpin, bounding boots, ochiudo's kote and pacock charm if you want to camp NMs maybe.

The windower documentation even states:

Organizer parses your gear through your sets. You can verify this by making a gearswap without any sets and attempt to run //gs org. You will get an error stating "Organizer Library: your sets table is empty.".

As far as "organizer shits the bed regularly", this is the only time I've had organizer "***the bed" and its because I'm trying to make use of it in unintended ways. My experience with organizer for moving gear around on my chars jobs works absolutely beautifully.


Anyways, now that I got back home (from out of town, not the gym), I was able to test out my previous theory:

I moved the Naegling to main and it works the way I wanted this to.

This might seem silly, but how do I know if I'm learning a job properly while leveling? Trusts seem to ***all over any encounter even IT++ while I whiff every hit lol.

Do the XIAH guides give pre-99 basics of how your "rotation" works and so on?

My primary worry is that I'll pull up to like idk CP parties looking like a boostie account buyer that griefs the content lol

You should have a linkshell (or two) from the minute you start the game, IMO. Socialize, get to know people, ask for help, etc.

So long as you tell people where you're at, gear-wise and experience wise, there's no problem joining any event! Many people are happy to help/carry people.

For sure! Others seemed to be getting pushback for looking for a group on here, so I wasn't sure if this may have been the right venue for new/returning players haha.

I'm also not 100% sure on when teaming up is expected vs soloing.

If you notice, most of the people who are pushing back are getting "ratio'd" by those who are pushing back against the pushback.

I think doing things you can reasonably solo (quests, missions, buying scrolls, etc.) and then coming to some group content with a reasonable amount of research (what do my JA do, which equipment enhances them, what do all the spells do, etc.) is fine. Especially if you tell people "hey, this is my first time doing this, could you let me know if I need to do something special?" and if you're honest with your gear levels, it's NP. Jump right into Omen, Dynamis, Ody, etc.

The problem comes, in my opinion, with people who are brand new but want to do Odyssey C full clears, expect V20 kills on the bosses, and want to have 8 or 9 boss Sortie runs.

The game has very good systems for gradually building yourself up. Sheol A & B are much more forgiving than Sheol C. V0 NMs are WAY easier than V15+, and Sortie has tons of objectives that are soloable with trusts and bosses that scale up as you and your team get better skills and gear. Similarly, Ambuscade and HTBF have scaling difficulty, as does the new Limbus event. There are DOZENS of different levels/difficulties of CP and EP mobs. Take advantage of these by doing things at a difficulty level that is appropriate for you and the people you're with. Don't buy into the pressure/temptation to skip all that stuff and go straight to the end, because your lack of experience and gear will show, VERY quickly.

All that said, do whatever you want. If you have 5 consenting adults who are willing to drag your *** through V25 clears, 8 boss Sortie runs, and VDV1 Ambuscade, go for it! If you can't find this mythical group of 5 then find a bunch of other newbs (there are plenty) and do lower difficulty stuff to make progress for the time being.

You can start today.
