It's kind of a paradox.

The more characters you have the more .0001% draws you get but the more obnoxious it is.

You'll get people who do it every day and people who absolutely won't.

...You probably don't even know dark matter augs are full time now. Popping daily SP dial is less annoying than dark matter literally every day

I noticed that you actually are able to benefit from more than just stat merits in monstrosity when I saw that some of my MNK mobs had MNK merit JAs on them, it got me thinking:

I know that this system was introduced before JP was a thing, but do lvl99 MON mobs benefit from JP in any fashion?
Would one of the folks who were messing around with capping things in monstrosity for mastery ranks be able to take a peek if they have a chance?

I'm presently stuck unable to test it myself since I've only one mob close to 99 and it's not on a job I've got any JP on, so it'll take a fair bit for me to test it myself.

What could cause the duration of a marine stewpot to be different between characters by ~5min? Right now the one who ate it has 10min left, the others 5min.

Someone that skips or fast forwards cutscenes will have less time left on their food than others that don't. Depends how many Cs they viewed while food buff was up.

Assuming we're talking Sortie since that's the most common place to use Stewpot, it takes about 8-9 seconds to go through the teleport animation in Sortie. You can use the teleporter about 30 times
ABCD boss enter
ABCD boss exit
ABCD port to
EFGH enter
EFGH boss enter
EFGH boss exit
EFGH exit
Aminon enter
Aminon exit
Your buffs are paused while in this teleport animation. If your group is using superwarp, they'll spend around 5 mins less time in a teleport animation than those that aren't which is likely where that 5 minute difference in food duration is coming from.

Making sure I'm not losing my mind... Null Loop is supposed to be a common drop from Orb of Radiance HTBF, right? I got several of them last month soloing as SCH, thought I would get a full set of Null gear for one of my alts during the free login campaign and all I'm getting is Null Belts and Shawls. I dboxed my Null Loop to myself and have the other character in party and after about 5 D and 10 VD runs, still nothing. Just bad luck?

Damn, those warp animations really add up. Should be enough time to get another objective or minor NM done.

Remember, these aren't cheats though, just simple QOL addons.

Twice now I've cleared a Salvage (solo) and not gotten the title from the final enemy.

I know I cleared the 75 because I got the RoE clear rewards/the objective is now no longer showing a (!). (I can't prove I cleared the 99 but I did the dang thing so I'm sure I did.)
I know I didn't get the title because it wasn't even on the Whitegate bard (but the other Salvage titles for the same level range were).
e: also, it's not just a bug on the title NPC, because it also prevented me from getting Atma of the Dark Depths until I cleared Bhaflau Remnants a second time

Anyone know what might be causing that?

Did you leave too quick? if you warp right away you dont get it, the boss has to fade out completely and then the title pops up a couple seconds after that, in my experience.

I saw your initial comment a few days ago and meant to say "you're gonna get the drop next fight because you complained online" but forgot.

Always ask if something is "bugged" and maybe you're doing something wrong, complain in ls often how unfair etc, to manifest the results you want immediately.

I don't think I did - my general behavior is to stand there checking my title like a moron until it updates and I was very confused why it was not updating - but it's possible?

I feel like Crooked Cards + Bolter's roll gives movement speed +60% if you're wearing an item with Movement Speed +18%.

If this is true (I'm not sure tbh), what roll do you need of you have Hahnt from Sortie C/G bosses?

You don't need Crooked Cards to hit 60% movespeed with 18% move speed gear, not even close. You can, in fact, hit 60% move speed with any roll at all.

With Haunt I'm not sure what the exact number you need is (you still shouldn't waste crooked on this, IMO) but it's not particularly difficult. Especially so if you're bringing a DNC (one of the major drivers of bringing a DNC in the first place).

Without DNC I'm not sure how to answer, someone else will have to respond to that.

It's also worth noting that if you don't have a DNC, you can accomplish a similar effect with Mazurka, so long as you are careful not to aggro anything and then replace the Mazurka with a proper song once you reach your destination.

This is an insane thing to say, but you should be at movement speed +20% from Jumbotender Memento:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Jumbotender_memento
(Stacks with equipment, unlike almost everything else)

So that might change the necessary Bolter's math. Seconding that it's "literally any roll at +8 without Curse", though, no Crooked needed in no-Curse situations.

We just use Mazurka. Don't need 4 songs for ABCD stuff, and we typically kill Naraka so we don't have to worry about Haunt from G.

For the upcoming Odyssey campaign the segment bonus only applies to the lump sum you get from touching the exit, correct?

What determines when/where an enemy leashes and despawns? Time? Distance? Damage/DoT? I've been AoE cleaving Cirdas for cards and usually don't experience despawns but now and then a few will leash seemingly earlier than usual and disappear.

Ive looked through this because ive never done monster rearing, but when i ctr f for movement i only see +2% from a tier 7. Whats the +20%? Wonder if i should look into this more

He means +18 from equip and +2 from cheer.


Theyre not giving +20 from cheer that stacks on top of equipment lol

If you have a chocobo racing bird with S rank in STR and END and also have Canter/Gallop should you still take STR/END to SS with training or are you considered at cap because of Canter/Gallop?
