Neo Nyzul Isle (Will FFXI continue? Find out on the next FFXI XP Pack!)

Your best bet would be MNK (damage output, but not being able to use Powder Boots is big disadvantage) or DNC (able to use Powder Boots but low-medicore damage output), but, to be honest you would have to really impress the leader with your Shijin Spiral or Exenterator set (and at lest a set of STR magian weapons). Not having E/R/M is not as big of an issue as not being 2-hander AND not being able to use Powder Boots.
If you get an invite, the leader either accepts to carry you through this event or they got no clue what they’re doing.
Since you have WHM levelled, your best bet might be Abyssea-burning SCH and assembling a 400-500 Enhancing Skill set.
There are some threads on the official forums about fixing Nuzul, could take your complaint there if you don’t get invited.

Ok well for Mnk i'm slowly working on Vere, but i will get a wall at chloris, I don't have ls/friends to do it quick.
as for DNC i might not have powder but i got the crackrows +12 and Chocobo jig that stacks so it's kidna fast but yeah guess i'm stuck lving sch

[Darkmagi]

You don't even really need a 500 enhancing set on SCH either, most important is to have enough haste to cap with haste spell. Anything else is just a nice bonus, but good to aim for. AF3+2 gloves are also essential.

[Ratatapa]

Everyone shouts for 500 or bust on cerb so was wondering

[JustaWAR]

How are people using Powder Boots, do they designate someone to switch between them fulltime?

[NynJa]

If I'm not mistaken, you carry 10 pairs or so and cycle that shit.

[Darkmagi]

Yeah I used a 10 powder boot rotation for a while, worked pretty well on DRK. Could cap haste without feet slot.

[Mairja]

How on earth do people have the inventory room for 10 pairs of powder boots? I think that amazes me more than anything, lol.

[Eurell]

Porter moogles and cycle shit through your dbox. I'm assuming people normally use a static so you should be able to start gearing ahead of time. Shouldn't be too huge of an issue.

Theres no reason for someone to need to have gear for 6 jobs on them readily available for gearchanger at any given time. The "QUICK CHANGE TO *job* AND RUSH TO TIA WERE HOLDING" era is dead

[Churchill]

if I remember correctly...I have WAR/DRK/MNK/SAM/RNG/BLU geared and off porter, most of those jobs share inventory

I think my lowest inventory job is MNK @~65-67/80. All others are between 72/80-79/80. Some jobs aren't even fully geared and have half their shit in Satchel/Sack, like Ranger or Blue Mage. WAR has Rag TP/WS set/MS set in sack, DRK will have whatever weapon I'm not using+it's associated and non-shared gear in sack.

tl:dr quit trollan or quit suckan

I'm talking about actual inventory. Like Rearden, I'm easily ~75/80 on my war and about the same on sam.

[Byrthnoth]

I keep situational gear in my satchel and use itemizer scripts to pull them in when necessary. My jobs typically run ~65/80 inventory, except for BLM which runs closer to 75.

[gairaiden]

so what exactly are people doing to reach 100 regularly? powder boots? flee tools (and by extension risking a GM)? by no means asking anyone to fess up to using any form of cheats for this shit but a list of what people know is being used to do 100 runs regularly.

Lamp Dats > Good DDs > Double Embrava > Communication

Flee tools thrown in there somewhere if you feel like using them, but those are the most important things.

I'd rank lamp dats the highest simply because an order floor would take up a HUGE chunk of time otherwise.

[Airenn]

At the end of our time, we didn't use Flee Tools. They aren't really needed.

Just get two competent SCH and 4 2-Handed DD with fairly good gear.

Ventrilo and Lamp Dats are DEFINITELY up there on the "get it together" list.

You full time Powder Boots, so you can leave all the other feet in the mog house (+5 slots in my case), also going thf/war instead of /nin I leave Utsusemi cast/recast gear+shiei behind too (+5).
Also (aside from essential dat lamps), some people use Apradar/fillmode to better see what mobs are around them (I guess helps with family, boss etc especially).

[Detzu]

Just find people who are botting and tag along with them, you can do the event with 2DD's 2 gimps and 2SCH's really easy.

So you tell him to risk his account for nyzul gears? They are great gears but don't worth to lose your account. Plus, you can buy powder boots for flee effect, only 100k on AH. You rarely need flee effect tbh but it could be useful when u do.

Flee tools no!!
You forgot another important thing : LUCK. You could have 23 jumps and still won't hit 100 or 14 jumps and reach 100 with 10 minutes left.

[Eurell]

Honestly the only 3rd party tool we use is Vent if you even count that, and even then 2 members have busted mics and still type to us lol. Don't need dat swaps or clipper or fill mode or any of that really. Don't get me wrong, you'll definitely cap out on gear quicker if you use it, but its 100% not necesary.

Just need people that are smart, well geared, and can work well together. And ffs, buy powder boots. This gear is well worth the 1-2 mil you will spend on boots.
