Random Question Thread XVIII: Just an Ordinary Sword of Legend

[Khajit]

Would be nice if there was even a way to contact the support site easily without spending 30+ minutes hunting for it. Or better yet if there was a way to get there ingame.

Yea, they should just totally scrap Playonline Viewer and have us login to ffxi similar to how we do 14, and put all the other stuff on the website like blizzard does.

Suggestions for THF group 2 merits please. Probably some combination of Assassin's Charge, Feint and/or Aura Steal?

Will repost my question since it's been lost in the shuffle.

How much subtle blow does Myoshi: Ichi give?
Also: When a piece of gear says "Subtle Blow +5" does that mean 5%?

[Darkmagi]

Best setup to do ks99 turtle with 3-5 people? Never really did this fight before, just remember hearing bad stories about it back in the day.

Myoshu is 10 sublte blow last id heard. And yeah means 5%. tbh that second question coulda been easily answered just glancing at the wiki.

Do cruor buffs also effect pets? I'm guessing no because they're easily lost if you logout or DC.

Also to add to this, how exactly am I to understand how Bastion and Dominion affect my cruor bonuses?

GMs can't do anything about glitches. Relocating players who are genuinely stuck is one thing, but actual bugs are the developers' responsibility. Technical support isn't what GMs are for, either.

For how much they mock GMs, it amazes me that so much of the player base itself does not even understand what they are there for, and why there is a separate Support Site.

If I want something done, I don't want it done next patch. If GMs don't have the power to do something as simple as reset a monster, then they are worthless and deserve to be mocked. Turul has been glitching like this since he was introduced approximately half a year ago, and I have reported it twice. I am going to report it once more now, because I think I know what causes it.

Also, the whole "GMs don't have the power to fix that" is absolute bullshit. I remember when someone warped Vrtra out to the low level area of KRT on Garuda. It took GMs about an hour to reset him (half an hour to respond to the call, half an hour to refer it up the chain until they got someone who knew his ass from a hole in the ground), but they did.

For nukes, provided it's the same element day, Twilight Cape is best. The 5% enhancement is applied 100% of the time on same day. I was just testing this last night actually vs. Searing and Goetia. On matching day Twilight beat them both out without day proc.

Oh, damn, nice.

Does brew cap out macc? Specifically, if something is usually evasive vs darkness and I cataclysm brew it on mnk will my damage be fine? Specifically wondering about brewing rani using cataclysm.

i changed mine a while back, now its 5 feint, 1aura, 4 assassin's. aura is great to dispel stuff, usually its not worth stealing though.

+999 mnd/int your about as capped as your gonna get. frankly you can use any decent ws, if your worried about darkness resist just do ascetic's fury, dragon kick, ect. your gonna have 50tp/tick regain, so you can try a couple if your really worried about one or want to know what is best for you.

Just got seals for Unkai Kote +1 do I just need to have them up for sekki? wiki is unclear.

If it's like all the other Emps, you need to have them on at time of WS, not time of JA.

[Gun-it]

JA and WS or Just WS?
and both WSs or just the first one?

[Foldypaws]

Just WS. I don't see why it would have anything to do with the second WS, Sekkanoki has worn off by then.

[Gun-it]

ok thanks

Has anyone else had trouble flagging quests in Konsch? I've completed Hope Blooms on the Battlefield and Rose on the Heath, but seem to be unable to flag the martello quests (which wiki claims are a prerequisite for RoTH). Raibaht spoke to me once properly but gave me no key items and now just says he has no time for idle chatter. The machine outfitter is equally unhelpful. I have no quests showing as currently active in the area, and they are not showing as completed so I haven't done them and forgotten. I've also done Soul of the Matter and Full-of-himself alchemist, though I doubt it's relevant.

Are the fame requirements listed on wiki wrong? It seems unlikely the martello quest would require high reputation though.

[Koyangi]

It's either completely broken at the moment or as someone suggested but I don't know if it's true, you can't flag it if you've done the linkpearl quest already (which is still a bug anyway). So until SE fixes it in a minor server/zone maintenance, you, others, and I who've reported this will just have to wait.

[Kishar]

Ah, ok. I didn't know it was a known issue, thanks.
