That list seems a little inaccurate, considering that things like max HP and MP of party members are visible, and not sent only to yourself. Job/level/rank, too, unless that's only populated when you /sea.

[Byrthnoth]

As far as I can tell, the list is accurate. They did a poor job translating the bolded headings, I think. It should have been:
1) Information sent about all Party/Alliance members.
2) Information that is only sent about yourself. (Almost everything in the Status Menus)
3) Information that is only sent about yourself. (All recasts.)
4) Information that is only sent about yourself. (Merit information)

It probably is formatted this way because that is actually how it exists, and I would be unsurprised to learn there are four different kinds of packets with this information in exactly this order.

[Divinius]

Circles denote information that is already displayed in some way shape or form on your client.

1. Party/Alliance Member Information
○ TP

I'm going to regret asking this, because I'm probably being monumentally retarded here, so I apologize in advance. I am at work, and don't have the game in front of me to look...

I know other people's TP is already sent to the client, since that's how windower displays it. But where in the vanilla client is party TP displayed in any way?

[Shenrien]

<tp>

[Julian]

It's not displayed, they're just saying that the information is there.

(no shit, SE)

Speaking of the GP item, I got a better translation from Magenta, who is the translator for Aesir Fansubs (I know the guy well enough to ask for a favor now and then) of that post. Original post(if you can read JP) here. Be aware he doesn't play FFXI but..This makes a heckava lot more sense.

Hi there. Wanted to clear up a few of the more contentious points that have been raised.

Firstly, we're still testing this on our test servers, clearing up the specifics. The "Way of the Craftsman" items and their required point counts are still being fine-tuned, but we're expecting an eventual cost of around 20,000 points.

Secondly, while these items will be required to raise your cap above 100, we haven't yet decided if they'll be required again for further raises to 120, 130 etc.

I hope that helps And since I didn't get furniture (I've been cooking gping since I heard about this) I'll use the extra GP to get that stuff later so it won't be wasted. I got like 60-70k gp right now as it is.

[NynJa]

Cooking sucks balls because of the amount of work to get the ingredients vs the amount of points you get. 2 fucking hours of running around to get the ingredients from vendors should not net 1.2k points.

What GP item requires running around for 2 hours >.>

I'd say the worst gp in cooking requires fish. Why? Because 90% of the time, the fish you need are not on ah.

So you have to spend a hour or two fishing and 5-20 minutes running around for the rest of the mats.

Second worse is when you have to farm some mats. Like buffalo meat...or crawler eggs...(Yes I do that. I'm a cheapskate.)

Yeah, so you can easily spend a lot of time fetching mats for a small amount of gp.

[NynJa]

But if people are going to comment how ridiculous items that run a tab of 13-15++ gil/GP is ok "because they give a net of 6kGP per day", then there should be no problem spending 20-30k on a stack of buffalo meat which is usually on AH. Crawler eggs dont seem to get placed on the AH often, so that one I kinda understand having to farm. But in that case, why not farm up 3-4 stacks and store them on your mule?

[Elizara]

That's what I've been doing when I have to farm stuff, NinJa.

The trouble is with buffalo meat is it drops slowly (even with full TH; yes I got full TH gear) and the ah runs out..FAST. You can't depend on the NPC that sells buffalo meat either (she doesn't always have it). So if you do it in the evening, you're proly going to be up in Ule killing buffalo...

4. Information that is only sent to yourself pt.3
○ Limit points
○ Merit points
× Assimilation
× Flags for having at least one level 75 job
○ Status of experience points (capped or not)
○ Mode selection (experience points/limit points)

What is Assimilation?

I could really, really go for them fixing the TP-lost on using WS out of range thing. They mentioned looking into it months ago, and of course nothing. Probably at the bottom of the laundry list as far as chronological importance goes given they're *still* tweaking ToA-era content

This.

I guess mileage varies by server, but according to ffxiah, 8.6 stacks of buffalo meat sell daily, and theres 3 stacks up there atm...10 stacks up on your server atm as well, with a reported 12 stacks sold daily.

It lets the game know how many blue magic points you have.

An item on the AH is always available except when you really need it.

[Vathris]

Theres plenty of running around with cooking GP, but on top of that, theres some really bad recipes like turtle soup, which requires:
Red tarrapin, which can only be fished
Acorn, can only be dug or logged
Danceshroom farmed by killing if nobody controls movalpolos
Chicken bone which has to be dug

So, if you dont have a stock of them on you, its around 3-4 hours of running around getting the mats, and its 5.6K GP so you do it cause that massive for cooking...

Some other recipes include scream fungus which is also very hard to come by, though it is true, cooking GP is quite cheap, but i would pay 5 times what i spend today for double GPs or anything close to what goldsmithing gets

Hoping that for the Limbus updates they let us Augment Homam/Nashira with Omega/Ultima parts using the synergy>tatter system. To give incentives for other jobs to participate they'll either make 'Chip Fragments' used to either augment AF1+1 or upgrade to AF1+2 or augment accessories like Brutal/Loquacious/Boxer's. Since SE is predictable I bet they'll tie in the long-since-promised CoP ring adjustment by making us have to magian trial them using drops from Neo Limbus or augment them using Synergy sicne I doubt SE will just automatically adjust the rings to buff up for 75+.

Also they should give the Green Magian Moogle more shit to upgrade and put his ass to work. So far he only handles job emote torques; useless! They need to give us magian trials for CoP Rings/Black Belt/AN Earrings/DM Earrings/TOAU rings/Moonshade Earring. Throw in AF3+2 accesorries and Relic Accessories too!

[Septimus]

Cooking GP isn't a "woe is me, my life is the worst ever" type thing. It is more of a "what fresh hell do we have today" thing.

Because of Cooking GP I horde certain ingredients on my mules: Chicken Bones, King Truffles, Crawler Eggs, Buffalo Meat, Scream Fungus, Coral Fungus, Danceshrooms, etc.

And if it is a fish-based recipe you can and often will get fucked. Last week Squid Sushi came up, fortunately there was sushi on the AH because Gigant Squids did not exist that day.

EDIT: If the guild pattern isn't wrong (and it is wrong often anymore) the GP item today is Buffalo Jerky. Go go hording!

Exactly what I do too. I've got an entire mule devoted to random cooking related mats and shit. The worst thing about cooking is the time/point ratio.

Didnt they just recently say that AF1+2 is not even planned?

[dannyl]

Even if it is/isn't the whole Limbus entry once per 72hrs is retarded and needs to be adjusted
