Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Naratu]

It will. It was odd, when I linked my 3 alts to my EU SE account, only the EU one (2 are US, curse you euro) had satchel for the first three or so hours, which got me a bit bummed out as well. It appeared after a relog after those 3ish hours though, which was a huge relief.

Well, I went to bed last night before logging out, just got home, logged back in from maint and still don't have the satchel. Any ideas?

[FailureMidgard]

Why would you pay someone instead of just rock crushering down some vnms?

I'd gladly pay 100k specifically to not do this...I'm confused, why do you care about 100k gil?

What do Ebon Lights do? I've heard they give all light bonus, but this is certainly not true. With 50+ ebon lights a person /w 0 azure was STILL getting 250xp blue chests.

Gold/Silver only. Everyone keeps saying all lights, but it's been obvious from the 3rd week or so that they don't give amber/azure/ruby.

Searched, didn't find an answer so I post.

If I already have a level 85 Uzura +1 with WSDMG+10%, what would be an upgrade to 90? Continue WSDMG path or "TP Bonus +100" one?

Have RR, VV if that matters at all. Still don't have the Heroes NMs atmas (for like stack TP Bonus one, but I am not sure if anybody would use that on NIN anyway).

Man, I really would like the weapons could get "downgraded" somehow...

Also, have been lazy to finish WoTG, just need the last set of missions, what would be the earring of choice for NIN? (also have lolSAM but... yeah).

[Nightfyre]

WSDMG+10%

Are you saying there's no FFXI folder? Do a simple search, if it's fully installed, the config app will be there.

Its fully installed. The game and all works properly, but the folder isnt there.

What tier 2 NM is require for Rani/Raja? It is chariot or ironclad or both?

[Mercilessturtle]

Adaberk is the 2md best RR body (for outside Abyssea) behind Twilight Mail, for sure. Also, this perma attack/accuracy cap bullshit really needs to stop being spewed because it is -nowhere- near true.

Acc is almost always capped, there's just the couple of mobs with crazy evasion. E.body is terrible in abyssea, and is still only about even with perle outside for RR. Assume war is the only ebody job for obvious reasons, what do you actually use a war for? Cleaving, triggering red, plowing through trash mobs (einherjar/dynamis) and zerging? So that makes adaman hauberk ok for when you are triggering red with underlevelled combat skills.

Is Dvalinn anywhere near as bad as wiki makes it sound? We need to kill this to get our Minkin popset put together, and I really don't feel like kiting this or some bullshit. Looking to straight tank this MNK - probably will only have 1 WHM or 1 RDM for heals.

[Rehn]

As long as WHM and RDM know how to mash their erase macro, you should be fine. I find the fight more annoying than dangerous since it's all about erasing over and over. Usually def down + hellclap can dent your HP quite a bit, or magic def down + -ga 3 or whatever. Just keep the erase coming and you should be able to kill it np.

Just reread it and it might be a tad more annoying for the healer if it's just by himself. I prefer 2x eraser, but 1 WHM or RDM should still be ok. Just be prepared to use meds if things get hairy.

Did it at 85 a few times with war, whm. War was /sam, using hasso full time. Never had any trouble.

I tribox'd it with mnk brd whm and never once was in any danger. He's weak shit, don't listen to wiki.

[testdummy]

Dvalinn is weak, he's just very strong compared to Durinn which is retarded lol. Just keep the debuffs erased and you'll be fine, he's got horrible acc.

[Kidnoftle]

Just don't be retarded. Basically WS when it's casting since it is extremely spammy w/ TP moves (sub 25% it's just cast > tp > cast > tp until you kill it dead) My jins do anywhere fomr 8-12% of its life, I wouldn't bother trying to proc unless you have discernment.

Duo WHM + MNK, retarded easy and that was @ 85.

Also someone was mentioning erases: If youhave WHM, go with Sacrifice on Solace mode, gets rid of multiples at once and save Erase for Sacrifice recast.

What tier 2 NM is require for Rani/Raja? It is chariot or ironclad or both?

Rani:

Chariot (the one on top I believe)

Bomb = Smoldering Arm
Dolls -> Sandy Shard use Sandy Shard to pop Tequila NM (Idk the name lol) Tequila Vile

Tequila Vile + Smodering Arm = Ironclad Smiter pop

Key Item from Ironclad Smiter and Chariot = Rani pop

Those two have to be @ 100% before Rani ??? shows up tho.

Raja is similiar but different NM names obviously.

[ClarkSammich]

Any ideas on Moonshade Earring for MNK? I'm really at a loss here, counter seems like the adult choice, but TP bonus and regain look pretty attractive too.

[xIndustrialxAngelx]

New nin earring replace brutal for suppa users? Or is it just the replacement for people without a suppa?

[Francisco]

I think I saw it's like 3% dual wield, and I'm pretty sure Suppa is 5%...

I'd just stick with Brutal/Suppa.

[Massimo]

Well, I went to bed last night before logging out, just got home, logged back in from maint and still don't have the satchel. Any ideas?

Ugh, that sucks. I'd suggest calling them, if it didn't pop yet.

Edit: Err, is your token deactivated? Might have something to do with that. I didn't deactivate mine 'til after I got the satchels.

[Gun-it]

is there a npc to check weather of Halvung? or does it share weather with somewhere?
