I haven't seen anything posted about the way Abyssite of Clarity works at the moment on the test server.

It's supposed to enhance the Magic Hints, however it seems to replace the Elemental Hints with Magic Class hints.

So instead of say, "the enemy seems vulnerable to fire spells" it'll say "the enemy is seems vulnerable to blue magic." Doesn't specify the element.

Also White Procs could be Magic. Couldn't target it though, so I can't comment on duration.

For something called "Clarity", that isn't very clear. Even if you had some people with it and other people without it, you still will have to try out the different element hints from people without it with the different spell-types from the people with it. (And since there are always multiple weakness, it doesn't really narrow anything down.) You should report that as a bug and we can all hope for the best, because that really isn't an improvement.

Its actually worse... Blue magic is probably 100 spells and I can set 20 at once lol.

Yeah if this is true, that's even more pointless...I mean if you tell me the mob is vulnerable to elemental magic...I would have to test more than just fire spells...has SE even thought about that...It's only useful if you say fire elemental or fire blue magic or fire songs or something like that.

Perhaps this should be reported onto the ffxi official forum thread, course that isn't a hint more like a hindrance!

[Rocl]

more like a "hint"rance AHAHAHAHHA

[Aemora]

Forgive me if I am wrong to assume this, but don't KIs stack? Like the pet and JA one stacks to reveal which pet JA. Obvious question: do you have both job and magic KIs to reveal to job magic weakness? Else it might only hint at the job, and not at the magic.

It's not even THAT useful. When I mean Magic Class I meant Black Magic spells or White Magic spells which encompass more than Elemental Magic. So we're dealing with all BLM, RDM, and DRK procs in that Black Magic category. I reported it last night though, so let's hope this IS a bug.

Im going to guess this, there was a post just after the testing starting with someone showing the mob is weak to blm fire spells , blue mage wind etc etc

The description for it is "Enhances the effect granted by a periapt of percipience." That makes it sound like it would not work without it.

Adding more slots exclusively for worthless mats seems a little silly even by SE's standards, I could see them having good drops autosort to the top.

But has anyone gotten more than 1 "good" drop per NM ever?
"good" drop refers to equipment/heavy metal/scrolls/NM specific crafting material

Someone in the LS said they got double of the same drop in a chest a few weeks back. Can't even remember who said it or the drop involved or the mob. Just remember not believing them when it was said.

Never got any proof though (in fairness I didn't ask them for it) so not certain if it is actually possible or not. Would have thought there were more reports of it and a random fail post if it was possible though.

One famous JP shouter spamming Akvens on Baha has gone to "capping Red only" and filling ally with melee. If he knows more or is just upset that 250+ runs didn´t get him a body I don´t know. Maybe just to spam it double the speed.

Or is he not getting body because he's capping red only. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh

[Lyramion]

Well he capped both for up to 250 runs, he was always counting every day how much he did totally lol

Speaking of hints I believe there's a conspiracy and JPs get different hints to us!

Might just to be me but they always seem to find them ridiculously quickly and keep all their mobs staggered continuously until dead.

[Colenzo]

bring all of your magic triggers and you can do that too >_> its not hard

JP usually asign specific spells to different people:

SCH: Tier 3,4, Storm
BLM1: -GA -JA
BLM2: Ancient 1,2

So whenever magic comes up you have a high chance of quickly staggering that if it´s not NIN or BLU. Also seen them bring 2x BLU and spread out spells between them. Smns can repeatedly "Assault" and "Retreat" to get hints also.

this is what we do when we have multiple BLMs or BLUs

[Kaisha]

Ditto.

New hint KI should make BLU a lot less painful at any rate. 2x BLU feels like a waste to me given how often HV magic comes up for them on all the runs I've done with my LS. It'd be like bringing a PUP/MNK in the offchance it's HV Automaton or Chi Blast.


Thank the lord though that BST jug hints are super rare.
