Random Question Thread XXI: You're Not My Random Question Thread Dad

[Jb1210a]

Had my bank account skimmed over memorial day weekend and thus forcing a non payment to SE for month of June. I'm trying to get online right now, but this 3d secure shit is cockblocking me. Is there any way I can get my account paid without contacting customer service (especially since they aren't open on the weekend).

[Koyangi]

Just use the 3D secure... how is it preventing you from paying?

My bank account card and my credit cards don't support verified by visa.

So... I'm wondering if there's any way that I can get my banned account back? My friend who was also banned (before me) was able to remake a character with his old name, but I couldn't. And by accident just now I was able to send money to my old character name. I double checked on ffxiah and didn't see any new sales by a character of my same name on this new server (bismark). So, is this something that just happens because they didn't delete my character data or what?

Gales, Smiting Blow.

Next is Ultimate but isn't that great with brew. If you're doing it on Windsday try Hateful Stream or Echoes as 3rd.

Shiyo: I assumed soloing meant actual NMs, not something you'd be bloodtanking. Leon: I'd go with what Byrth says, like I said I never actually got around to doing any solo/duo as dnc so maybe you do only need to cure every 3 mins. I have a pet whm so I end up just doing everything as war+whm and only dnc for dynamis.

Yes I did mean NMs (mostly of the abyssea variety.) Thanks for the input!

probably gonna get ten thousand different answers for this, but what do people recommend for amber lights for farming feet? trying to find out if there's like a sweet spot for consistency.

80~ or so I think. Was casually farming while doing Ketea pops with about 80 amber, capped azure and capped pearl and we got two set of feet while farming time (like I said, casual farming like me soloing on my gimp nin for time in between VNM pops). Unfortunately, no nin feet and only fucking pup and smn. Once amber went up to 100 we got a couple KIs, so I assume the sweet spot is probably lower than that.

quick rng question:

outside abyssea only, 5-hit jishnu's with 22 attack vs. 6-hit w/ +13% crit dmg and 15 dex.

basically looking to see if vulcan's/rose + af3+2 legs for WS and TP for a 5-hit are better than a 6-hit that lets me use yataghans (10% atm, still working towards +12%) and crit-augmented byakko's for jishnu.

this is when /nin only, when /sam, i can 5-hit in the better ws gear.

Just wondering but what where you doing to get banned? I ask so I can avoid it mainly.

I personally don't think it matters how much amber you have. I say this because I recently cleaved for feet in chasm, we were cleaving for 3 hours 45min. Capped amber/azure/pearle, then for 3 hours didn't get a single af3 drop. Then suddenly in the last 45 minutes we got 1-3 feet every single pull, ended up with 14 feet in about 45min.(no changes made whatsoever, not in mobs we were cleaving, or in the # of lights we had). I think it's random, and all luck.

Although that may be true, I think lower lights may still work in your favor, since higher lights will add KI to the drop list and will really screw over your drop rate.

Seen two jp groups come here when I was doing ice staff trial.

OK thanks for the info, also I would assume your banned data is archived incase it needs to be retrieved. I assume if you were to fight a ban hard enough and the evidence that lead to the ban couldnt be proven they would have to re-instate that data. I assume this since FFXI is still a service and we are customers and with adults that pay to play if someone was motivated enough i would assume a legal fight could take place? That seems a bit extreme but you never know. Personally I have been on same character since ps2 release in 2004 and no one else has ever had my toon nor do i dual box, IE she means a lot to me and if i was banned for some odd reason i would actually fight it.

It also removes pop items from the list, and you get more gold boxes.

Beaten, but yeah this is basically what I was going to say.
