Ymmm lol bough mine for 1.3M (after I got Kannagi) and never heard of anyone paying more then 3M.

i share this sentiment. there is someone on my server trying to sell for 10m. he has been shouting for weeks. not gonna happen.

Gonna have to host that somewhere other than your hard drive. BG Bucket has a link at the top of the page.

I'd say start at 5mil and work down for Hachiryu feet. I sold a pair for 2mil back before Kannagi even existed, so 1.3 is a lucky buy. Someone was shouting on Lakshmi to buy them for 6 mil for a while.

i deleted all my accounts from play online to try to put them back on to fix them and still won't let me and now playonline wont even turn on

[Kuishen]

Ideal Raging Rush set? Been using war on my mule lately and just kinda threw together a set without knowing much.

[DNAval]

i tried opening without windower and still no go

[Nattack]

if playonline wont even open i might suggest just uninstalling it... cant even do a filecheck in that case

my guess is the very rare case of corrupted data, what kind of error do you get when you try to open it?

[DNAval]

just error nat btw uninstalling it wont it remove FFXI too?

[DNAval]

why am i talking to you here when im logged into the game on ara's comp ???

[cdgreg]

Try rebooting? If no dice then ya I say reinstall

[DNAval]

oh thank altana >.> fixed it by replacing all my playonline files with my wife's seems to be working now

[DNAval]

>.> how long does the temporary account disable due to incorrect passwords last?

[Hyriu]

15 minutes I think.

I was actually at work at the time of posting, I leave my computer on for my various other deeds.

Since no one knew anything about dual wield, I devised a test that will suit my needs, if not say how it works. I imagine that it does break down into 1024's just like haste, so I am going to operate based on that. If anyone has any information they think is relevant to say it does not, please let me know. But I figure there is really is only 1 of 3 ways it could work.

Scenario 1. DW traits auto stack and recalculate for each added trait no matter what it's from. This would give us 512/1025 or a true 50% with af3+2 head, af1 body, suppa and lvl 90 nin.

Scenario 2. DW traits stack and recalculate, and 'enhance dw' effects do not stack and recalculate, this would give us 358/1024 for traits and 50/1024 each from suppa, af3+2 head, af1 body for a total of 508/1024 which is 49.6%

Scenario 3. DW traits each add a static number to the total, 102/1024 for 10%'s, and 50/1024 for 5%'s, this would put us at (102*2)+(50*6) for DW5 job traits and af3+2 head, suppa and af1 body. or 504/1024, or 49.21%

I figure if we start with these 3 assumptions we can check and see if any of them seems right and works, then devise more tests to see if it stands up to further scrutiny, or try and figure out a new way it could work. To do the tests we need to find delays we can achieve that will show a tp difference between these very small amounts of delay difference. Which I think I have done.

Calculating reduced delay from Dual Wield.
Combined Delay = (Delay1 + Delay2)
Reduced Delay = Combined Delay * (1 - Dual Wield %)

So to determine our tp gain/hit we would add the delay of both weapons together, then multiply it by (1 - DW%)
Then take that number and insert it into the delay part of this equation:
14.5 + [(Delay - 530) * 3.5 / 470]

So, lets start by determining our delays.
50% would be .5
49.6% would be .504
49.21% would be .5079

We'll use Ihintanto (999 delay) with a 180 delay katana, and a 242 delay katana.

Test 1. Ihintanto with a 242.
242+999=1241 base delay

1241*.5=620
-530=90
*3.5=315
/470=.6
+14.5=15.1 tp/hit

1241*.504=625
-530=95
*3.5=332
/470=.7
+14.5=15.2 tp/hit

1241*.5079=630
-530=100
*3.5=350
/470=.7
+14.5=15.2 tp/hit

With this test we should be able to tell if 50% DW is a true 50% reduction, or slightly less.

Test 2. Ihintanto with a 180 delay katana (kamome would work here)
180+999=1179delay

1179*.504=594
-530=64
*3.5=224
/470=.4
+14.5=14.9 tp/hit

1179*.5079=598
-530=68
*3.5=238
/470=.5
+14.5=15 tp/hit

With this test, provided 50% DW is not a straight 50% reduction, we can determine if it is closer to a 49.6% or 49.21% reduction in delay.






My question is this:
Can people double check my math and make sure I did everything correctly?

And if possible, if anyone has an Ihintanto, can you equip these items: nin af1 body, af3+2 hat, and suppanomimi on your 90 NIN, and go hit something 10 times without any store TP on (like rajas ring and brutal earring!) and let me know what the results are?

Before anyone yells at me for not testing myself I want to point out the following:
I already ask in LS if people wanted to do dynamis Sandy, and no one does.
I shouted and offered everything freelot to get people to do it, and could only get 5 people. (and by people I mean 5 gimps melees)
I shouted and offered 1mil to anyone with the katana who could test for me, and ask people to tell their friends, no response yet.
And I'm going to spam check the zone til people are there to ask if I can come get the katana, as well as trying all the previous methods at different times until the update. But currently, and probably until the update, I will most likely not be able to test this myself, so if anyone could help out, that would be awesome.

The tiger is fine but didn't drop NIN much for us at all. We found the Iron Giant more generous but he's tougher to proc than the tiger.

yeah fuck that tiger 10 kills no nin body seal certain NM's favor certain seals regardless of random is random

[Dooom]

yeah fuck that tiger 10 kills no nin body seal certain NM's favor certain seals regardless of random is random

And I got 10 seals for a friend in 4 kills. Get grellow, have TH, accept that random is random.
