I remember seeing a link to a site that had video driver updates for laptops, but I can't find it. Anyone got said link?

any way to get the game to read the triggers on controller?

and D-pad?

Triggers dont work for me either, dont think its supported. The "bumpers" on the top work fine. D-pad works just fine for me. I know you have to calibrate them under controller config in the ffxi config. If that doesnt work, go to control panel/hardware/controller and see if you can configure that wya.

If you're on a TotM where you have to kill x- number of mobs (Not killshots), and your party kills a mob while you're dead, do you still get credit for the kill? Specifically the new relic kill your attestation mobs ffff.

[Massimo]

If you don't get exp, you don't get kill.

Edit: Eh, dynamis mobs don't give EXP. You know what I mean.

[Eleven19]

So more or less there's like an XP check I wouldn't pass anyway if I was dead?

[Fereydoon]

Stupid question but, you gain Teal sets FC by equipping precast, right? Just won't gain the recast benefits like haste? Trying to figure out if teal set would be better then af pants under the right arts for SCH.p

All effects affecting cast time operate prior to the cast. In other words, Fast Cast, SCH AF Feet+Hat, and so forth need to be equipped BEFORE you cast the spell.

You'll need the whole set on at the start to cast faster, obviously. You'll also need it on at the end of the cast get recast reduction. Haven't looked up the precise value, but I'll just guess that Turban and Goliad Body alone would probably be whatever FC recast benefit it offers, leaving room to further improve in other slots where Haste and FC can apply without sacrificing potency.

Can't while dead, out of range of CFH'd. Conditions where you normally would get EXP from a mob, the kill will count.

Haven't actually done this in dyna, but it should work like anywhere else.

That's what I thought, thanks.

I won't be using it for delay reduction, just the FC. But 10% for the set is better than the 5% from the pants. So it's now my current FC set.

What pos does the TVNM Gamayun seem to spawn around in Grauberg?

I 2nd this question

[jimbobsonofgod]

Anybody know if the spawn conditions of Yaanei Sippoy or Kutharei have been changed?

[Massimo]

They have. They pop every 20? minutes now from what I've seen, and stay up a lot longer. Very easy to find up since the update.

[Aja]

Bad Breath is the correct spell instead of Seedspray yes?

[cdgreg]

How, if any, is the goetia +2 set bonus enhanced by adding more than 2 pieces?

[Tarubaby]

I can't be for sure, but it seems it's proccing more with head,hands, feet and legs.

[Clash Perez]

Does anyone have a SCH xml they can share?

Here's mine. It's fairly basic, but it will swap in the appropriate staff for the spell, and obis if you have them. It also will blink out JAs, and has a section to swap in refresh gear when Sublimation isn't active. I've been meaning to put in a few lines to swap in the Emp+1 hat when Ebullience is active, but I haven't done it yet.

Edit: Unlazy'd and put in the code for Svnt. Bonnet +1 during Rapture/Ebullience, and a couple of other things.

Just got blm AF3+2 pants and was curious if i am able to sell igqira lappas now or should i hold onto them, i remember reading not too long ago that the Macc+12 was a misprint so if that's wrong, igqira would be better, right?

[Fereydoon]

Here's mine. It's fairly basic, but it will swap in the appropriate staff for the spell, and obis if you have them. It also will blink out JAs, and has a section to swap in refresh gear when Sublimation isn't active. I've been meaning to put in a few lines to swap in the Emp+1 hat when Ebullience is active, but I haven't done it yet.

RIGHT after I write one. xD Seems you used the one on windower.net that I took pieces out of.

My question though, why won't any of my cancel's work?
