Random Question Thread XVII: Toy Surprise Inside!

[Guitarman]

i'm hearing the ws belts are great and some are saying they're not worth the trouble. Can anyone point me to the math? Looking at victory smite, specifically.

edit: damnit, didnt mean to double post, meant to edit. sorry.

[Dooom]

How do you augment the dominion weps?

If it's like the armors - which I think it is - then the NPC hands them to you with the random augments already on.

[Dallius]

What's a better weapon for my sam: the fire elemental magian gkt (dmg 96 delay 437 str+8 atk +22) or the weaponskill magian weapon (either the ws +10% or the tp bonus +100)? Sam is my 5th job so i'm not really interested in making it uber, just something fun to play with but i'm at a loss for which weapon i should use with it... any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[Massimo]

TP Bonus.

[Kyata]

I know I've seen this asked before, but I can't for the life of me find it again.
Which DAT file is used for Abyssea confluxes, please?

I've changed the entries for "Veridical Conflux", "Rock Formation - 1", and "Rock Formation - 2" (ROM5/8/92.DAT and 93.DAT) that I found in Altana Viewer, but fluxes still load the same as before.

I suppose Altana Viewer could have some missing entries.
And I did restart FFXI after changing the DATs.

Thanks.

[Massimo]

Conflux - ROM5/8/92
Conflux - ROM5/8/93
Conflux - ROM/240/111

ROM5/8/92 and 93 are the ones found in xarcabard [S] and WoE, ROM/240/111 are the ones found in Abyssea

What's the easiest way to cap my evasion for 90 SAM? (Soon to be THF and NIN as well >.<)

I'm dreading the thought of trying to find a signet or sigil zone with EM~T mobs that are close to an exit.

Anything especially dangerous about Bennu that would keep a MNK+WHM from being able to duo it? Same question for Amphitrite. Thanks.

[Gwynplaine]

IIRC magian goals completed across another alliance party don't count for members in the other party right? Only within the same party?

[Galattea]

Easiest way to get WAR body seals ? (NM-wise, would appreciate minimun amount of people it can be done with/strategies, if possible).

Not in particular, although I wouldn't want the fight to last that long personally.

Alliance kills count. So does being dead, apparently, my mistake for being wrong on that, some posts back.

I did mine on the T2 VNM in Altep. ~15 min repop, drops WAR PUP BST SMN. DD + mage makes for an easy duo. Can possibly solo on NIN if their new spell procs on Earthen Fury.

Just make your sure you keep your whm 22' away from yourself when you're not curing since bennu's scream tp move will terror you and your healer long enough for it to kill you. Ampitrite should be fine but you're going to want to feed it tp in magic form

t2 garuda in grau. be careful of her 2hr and if she catches you with predator claws with shadows down. near-perfect accuracy with 90%~ish DA rate. Still the best way to get the seals, and it's how i got all mine. Took about 1 hour of popping her repatedly ( love 10 min respawns).

Oooo very nice. Think I can down her reliably with mnk whm brd? Taru mnk so I sit around 3.1kish hp, that enough to survive 2hr?

[Julian]

I figured this would be more of a question for whats better, but, anyway:

What's the currently accepted best piece for MNK in: back piece, non-rajas ring, non-brutal earring?

Currently using Rvnt+2, full usu (no+1,+2 yet, almost there), foragers, bb, rajas, sniper (nq), brutal, ethereal (gimp :/), and the mnk jse tathlum. (would black or white be better?)

Thanks

edit: I also just got NIN to 75+ (84 :D), wondering on weapons? I'm assuming Emp or WOE mainhand and Kamome offhand? Would this setup also hold outside abyssea? I'm kind of thinking of going for the emp version because I really don't want to be bothered to spend another day (or longer) in woe, since I doubt the JPs I spammed it with still spam it..

edit2: Fievel, your taru mnk has more hp than me why do I suck

[Shenrien]

Ninja Hatsuburi +1 or Maat's Cap for Blade: Hi :s please say I can save myself the annoyance of these fights... or maybe a better option than either?

[Massimo]

Ninja Hatsuburi +1 or Maat's Cap for Blade: Hi

Hatsuburi in abyssea, Maat's outside.

[wiegraf]

where are the title changer npcs for Abyssea titles located?

[Jb1210a]

Asked this a couple days ago, but is there a list of NM that are soloable now that weren't when 75 was the cap?

[hykiri]

Posted this the other day; guess you missed it.

Should be able to find it like this, as I had the same problem once:

My Computer >> C Drive >> Program Files >> Playonline >> Square Enix >> Final Fantasy XI >> ToolsUS >> Final Fantasy XI Config

Thanks so much! Much appreciated!
