Does anyone know what plug-in from Windower (if it is a plug-in?) causes the chat log to blank / clear out? I'm just curious.

[Zerk]

When using APradar v2 is there any way i can make it so that it doesn't show invisible mobs @0% hp? gets irritating when i'm trying to pop T1 vnms in abyssea and i can't see the dots anymore because too much text.

[Yugl]

How do I paste data from excel into [CODE] format without distortion and having to manually revise the entire data?

Rapidus Sax with tiercel necklace and full thf af3+2 or triplus dagger with love torque and homam feet?

Rapidus Sax with tiercel necklace and full thf af3+2 or triplus dagger with love torque and homam feet?

Neither, something with Loki's body and haste gloves/boots is suppose to be best, but only if you can cap haste.

[Cymmina]

Merits: 5/5 MAttk, 5/5 whatever else but Physical Attack, I mixed between the accuracies. 5/5 Heavenly Strike, whatever else you want. I did 1/5 in all but grand fall, 2/5 in windblade.

As for gear sets: You want 4 big ones, Perp, Magical BP's, Physical BP's, Wards/siphon. You also want a BP delay down.

Perp you want af3+2 feet/body/head. Nashira hands if it's not the same day as the avatar/not carbuncle. Carbuncle mitts. Augur's Legs/refresh subligar. Evoker's Ring. Moonshade earring if you haven't used it for something else. Caller's Pendant.

Magical BP: Caller's sash, Tiresias cape, af3+2, Pet:MAB staff from TotM, Gifted Earring, Eidolon Pendant.

Physical BP: Same as above, sans sash/staff. Swap staff with Soulscourge. Add Sacrifice Torque.

Ward: Anything with +skill. Only exception is af3 boots for siphon.

Delay-: Caps at -15, Yinyang Robe/Misc. Relic pieces will cap you.

Worth noting that the Magian perp staves at the +2 stage have -10 BPD on them in addition to -5 perp. Saves you from having to lug around extra gear.

Anyone have a listing of their favorite FoV camps? Planning on taking NIN from 37 (currently 46) to 60, any suggestions? Been alternating between EMs in the past and random Yhoator pages for the moment.

Western Altepa, Beetles near the FoV page on the hill, i think that's the level I did it at, maybe closer to 40, not sure, decent EXP, but I was on PUP

With regards to the Shihei question, to basically make them as cheap as possible, you need:

Wood 45
Alchemy 29
Fishing 12 (Nebs cap at 27, but really you could pull them up at 12, perhaps lower easily)

The reason Shihei are so expensive is because you gotta:
1. Fish the Nebs.
2. Synth the Nebs into Black Ink with Mats native to Windurst onry (usually, Saruta region) + Dark Crystal.
3. Get some Elm Logs
4. Synth the Elm Logs into Bast Parchment, with materials that are native to 1st conquest position OR Windurst/Selbina (Moko Grass) + Lightning Crystal.
5. Synth 1 Black Ink + 2 Bast Parchments + Wind Crystal together to make 33 Shihei.
6. Make a fucking load of synths to get 12 stacks of Shihei.
7. Go to Jeuno, get some Wijnruit, then go to whichever nation is in first place to turn them into Toolbags.
8. Exploit the lazy fucks who can't be bothered nor have the inventory space to do steps 1>7.
9. Profit.

In all, it takes 18 Nebimonites, 6 Elm Logs, 36 Windurst Tea Leaves, 6 Moko Grass, 24 Distilled Water, 12 Wijnruit, 18 Dark Crystals, 6 Lightning Crystals AND 36 Wind Crystals to make 12 Toolbags of Shihei. Not forgetting the travelling around, or the time it takes to sit through 60 Synths, and hoping that not one of the synths will fail, discounting HQs also (which will be really rare if you just meet the base levels of synthesis, though you'll likely HQ Black Inks, and the occasional Shihei which is a 29 synth)

Farm all the materials yourself, and the most it'll cost is likely 5k (if that).
Buy the Nebs/Elm on AH, looking at 30k
Buy Black Ink/Bast Parchment/Wind Crystals, looking at 108k (lol)

If multiboxing its not uncommon to happen. If you use spellcast with AddToChat commands, or the AddToChat plugin, that would clear my chat log when I opened it.

[Esvedium]

That happens to me randomly, and I haven't really found what causes it. Last time, I wasn't dual-boxing, I wasn't using addtochat commands in the xml that was loaded, no chatmon... I was pulling for a FC party on my RDM, so the chatlog was getting flooded with "hit for 0" over and over from the mandies, so that might have had something to do with it.

It doesn't happen frequently enough for me to test what causes it, so I just grumble and put up with it, or shutdown and try again. lol

Unbrewed cataclysm for war: moogle head with +2mab, or twilight helm

or an even better question, how much str and/or int does it take to beat 1 MAB for cataclysm

[eotfofyl]

Multisend

Hmm, came across 2 versions. One wouldn't detect anything. Second does, but can't seem to execute any commands even though it seems like it's receiving. Broken/Outdated in general?

This again, wont ask again as I can take a hint.

[Aureus]

The current version of multisend is based off VanaHelper, which is broken. Do not use that.

There is an older version based on fface that still works properly, there should be a link to it in the multisend thread somewhere.

Ive tried those. No luck. Anton from leviathan tells me it may be an issue with my .net framework. Ill try updating and hope post results later tonight.

[Devinry]

What are a few top job/ws/atma choices for brewing Azdaja? I've read about the great sanguine blade and cataclysm damage, but I doubt that work too well on a dark based mob. Have access to pretty much anything except for the COR and RNG ws's.

[Raen Ryong]

Dualsend works beautifully. Make sure you run it as Administrator.

Not so much a question and a random fact I wanted to put out there for those who may be interested.

Awhile back the question of what the current CE modifier for cure enmity is came up. During a bit of discussion Mojo posted a test for me to do to figure out the level 90 CE mod. I finally got around to doing said test. ^^;

Current CE modifier is 40/62. And while I hate to link the official forums for anything but lulz, that is where this came up and the testing is solid. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ll=1#post55934

If there's a place for Enmity info in the mathy section this should, perhaps, go there.

If you want it posted in the mathy section I'd PM Yugi
