Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Kidnoftle]

Yeah could do it mnk whm rdm, would probably be just as easy I guess (firebreak w/ capped barfire/shellraV has yet to break 2.6k for me), idk why you would kill w/o procing tho. If you wanted to save the effort could probably just get away with whm mnk. If you speed killed it just pop a fools if you have any doubts.

Any idea what stone/card/coin things are for RDM hands and RDM body?

Someone earlier said wieldance stones are for rdm hands. Not sure about body.

Got 2 of them off abyssea-pink snow diremite boss

I play solo 95% of the time, so I don't have any of the harder atmas besides MM and RR.

Also, re:Warbler, finally beat it, pretty easy. What I was doing stupid was not dispelling its haste and reapplying slow2. Doing that, it was pretty easy. derp

Also not sure what causes the aura, but that last fight it was only up near the start. Obviously, no abyssite drop, wooo.

Here's a random question:

Boosting before WS worth it? WS in question here is Victory Smite. How much does boost really help, and is it worth the little delay before ws? I ask because there's a few times where my WS being a split second too late have caused bad stuff

(Killing Warbler, 1%, I boost, ready ws, it double attacks, stripping my shadow, then petrifying me, while I'm readying, then kills my WHM, allwhile my rdm is stonaing me, and a round of normal attacks kills the nm before whm can reraise :/ gotta kill this stupid fuck again -_-)

Can anyone help me out? A link to his XML is here: http://www.windower.net/plugins/spel...drg/techno_drg

Question about lights.
Is it possible that their effect decreases over time? As in, if you cap azure, then get only pearl kills for the next 10min, does the azure effect weaken?

I was farming feet in Misareaux yesterday, I kept seeing "faint soothing light" chests when I ignore azure for a while, seemed to also not get any time chests till I got a couple of azure kills in.
Was the same case with amber, at one point I was getting a gold chest every other kill, then got 0 in ~15 kills after 10min of ignoring amber.

[Yugl]

I won't deny it outright, but I haven't witnesses anything that leads me to believe lights decay more than I would believe that randomness is still a factor. As for the faint soothing, remember that the updates made building lights somewhat more tedious since the level of the Emphs rapidly decline as they idle. What might have happened is that you were never capped, but because you can receive some of the top-tier chests early on, it appeared you were.

No fast cast whatsoever nor any movement speed. Any job can safely kite it around the big circular rock between the ??? and martello fine. The biggest thing that'll drag on the fight is charm though, so as long as WHM is ready to flash the NM the moment MNK is charmed, there shouldn't be any problem of it going yellow.

He also has a longer than normal silence move that corses do (19.9?) but WHM standing at max casting distance targeting only the MNK should put the WHM out of range. Sometimes follow up the silence move with charm as well.

Also forgot to add that he gains a pretty big ice or blaze spikes after hadal summons >_> nearly killed myself when it did 2k to me via hadal then punchx3 + 1 kick put me in red. Spikes did ~100 with shell V on, so if you're low on HP after hadal immediately back turn and pop med or something before resuming. Spikes don't last long at all, think 10-15s max.

Fight was easier than expected, though that might have been a bit of luck since he never attempted to cast Death or Comet once. Popped on Lightsday for WHM grellow, and got it with Holy. Hadal Summons never did more than 1400. I agree though, he charmed like a motherfucker, including at 1%. Even though there was no one around, gotta love SE saying they fixed the "Charmed then white/unclaimed" when they really didn't.

Feel stupid asking but I' just getting back into the game and I can't get my controller to work. I use a logitech gamepad and it's already been installed on my PC. How do I enable it for FFXI?

[Andradi]

FFXI config -> configure gamepad

Where can I check my titles to see which Caturea I've killed to date?

Where can I check my titles to see which Caturea I've killed to date?

I can't check myself if the Caturae are here, but various Abyssea Titles are found at Zuah Lepahnyu in between the Kazham dock and the synergy furnaces in Port Jeuno.
