Random Question Thread XIX: Welcome to Flavor Country

[Kaisha]

Anyone know why my POL Viewer can't detect an FFXI install? I got the directories in the registry set up, but no luck. Trying to get this shit working in WINE but I can't get the FFXI install discs to function, complains about lack of HD space when I got 8gb free. ;/

how do you increase you mog sack size? my gf char has 50 inventory but sack size is still 35

[Deader2818]

Talk to the moogle about expanding it and he does it.

[EnkiKTD]

Talk to the moogle you bought it from and there should be an expand mog sack option.

[Skie]

ah ok tyvm

[Syntex]

When I bought it he gave me 70 slots.

[EnkiKTD]

when you first buy it, it's proportional to the number of slots that you have in your main inventory. you probably bought it when it was at 70.

i've been going by the wiki, which says that only brulo drops two. We've killed diabolos 3 times with procs. One soul each time ._.

Brulo is just a total bitch.

Maybe you need TH like other emp drops and procs mean nothing.

[Byrthnoth]

Brulo can be duo'ed. If you are worried about one-shots, use ATMs of the future fabulous and an mdt set.

Is there some trick to the Diablos T3 to get around nightmare? He seemed hardest to me for duo anyways, the nightmare ruined it for me.

I thought I had read recently that Anguinus Belt is better for most WS but couldn't find the post talking about it. Am I remembering correctly, and if so which WS do not follow that rule? Thinking about dropping some ele belts if I can get away with it.

Bump

I know you can range it by standing at 20, but the random draw in was the problem for me. I had a character @ 30 back waiting to cure after nightmare (just incase), and he was pulled in and never touched the mob (just ally hate). Maybe if your healer is outside party he won't be pulled in?

Just rejoining XI after 2 years... What's the best progression in terms of Great Katana's from 75 to 90. Looking for both buyable, and r/ex (not sure if I can get the r/ex, want to have options ;o ). Thanks ^^

anyone have the link for the xml updater. my xml's are really old and switching to latest spellcast etc. I'll keep looking for it but haven't found it yet.

300 Plantoids in wind weather? Any suggestions?

[TheDirtyHobo]

Decided to start working on my BLU a little more and use more specific spell sets instead of a single general 'physical spell' set.

Current set is

Sword/Sword/ /Mavi
Aias/Spike/Minuet/Suppa
AF+1/Relic/Flame/Rajas
Potentia/Warwolf/Emp+1/Areion's

Only upgrades I can think of offhand are Spike->Kubira (not gonna happen, fuck Einherjar), Relic hands->Enkidu's, Suppa->Flame Earring/pearl, Flame Ring->Spiral/Vulcan's (too cheap for pyrosoul), and emp+1 legs->+2. Works good for the STR/DEX spells like GR and Dissevernment, but are there any specific tweaks for VIT modded spells like QC and DT?

And, I don't even know where to start with Benthic Typhoon, so an ideal build from scratch would be appreciated there.

If its anything like Empyrean upgrade items for Weaponry, Only thing that effects it will be Treasure hunter, so pile it on and pray.

Grauberg funguars in the north east or saplings in Thickets in the north east.

Just keep healer outside of party.
