Ok thank you very much Byrth and Julian.

Np, keep in mind there's no warning when you run out though. I ran through a stack of the universal buff ones once because I didn't realize I ran out of shihei >_>

Also, question:

I've seen shout for cruor burn parties, how exactly do they work, and how effective are they?

[Haborym]

Your cruor chain goes up whenever you kill two different mobs consecutively. So it would be something like: Kill mob A > kill mob B > kill mob A > and so on. As long as the same type of mob doesn't die twice in a row you cruor chain will go up like a exp chain, and afaik cruor caps at 600 a kill?

Most I've seen camp in the middle of Misareux and pull Bats, Colibri, and anything else. Basically you rotate killing bat, then a colibri, then another bat and your cruor per kill builds up. The problem is people are stupid and you'll get up to like 600 cruor a kill and suddenly someone will kill a Bat and then another Bat and will drop you down to 100 again taking another 30 minutes to build up.

[Julian]

Ah. I figured that's how it worked, but didn't know the cap. Thanks.

Abyssea- vunk is another good camp.. Rabbits and puks. Kill Levi/ramuh everytime they up also they give almost 2000 cruor with caped silver lights. Same with emp murex/amoebans.

Navarch's Frac +1, do I need to wear it while I'm shooting or just when I use Triple Shot to get the bonus?

99% new stuff that boost JA needs to be wear while doing action boosted by this JA not JA itself and Frac is like that too.

You can cap out a lot faster than 30 minutes. Also, if people are being stupid, then it's probably easier to call for help the mob they're being dumb on than to tell them to stop fighting it.

Do I just suck or are the mobs in Altepa (I haven't done much in the other Heroes zones yet) just really resistant to debuffs? It seems like my chance to land anything is floored on just about everything other than prespawns. In my accuracy gear I'm at 429 Enfeebling skill plus the appropriate HQ staff, and all the magic accuracy and MND in that set and it still feels like a crap shoot every time I try Slow/Paralyze. Amusingly enough Addle seems very easy to land.

I noticed alot of Hero body seal + AF3 +2 NMs were pretty resistant to enfeebs. I had no trouble enfeebling stuff before on WHM, go into Heroes and it's pretty much 50/50. Got cleric's mitts after the dyna changes to help, but it's still pretty annoying since the other 2 set of Abyssea areas allowed me to just enfeeble everything in a potency set, and now have to carry around a skill set for Heroes zones.

Merits for BST?

Was thinking Call Beast 5, Reward 5, Beast Affinity 5, Beast Healer 5?

^

[Obsidian]

Reward 5 Call Beast 5
Beast Affinity 5 Beast Healer 5
Razor Brain broth - if you care about damage output
Dancing herbal broth - if you want to be cheap
Wool Grease - if you forgot to bring a thf.

Few pages back.

[cdgreg]

Yup, what Obsidian said. I also said it a couple pages back to your question:

Think I saw this answered on the previous page or few.

Is loki's kaftan the best jin WS body for NIN?

[Gippo]

ok bought a new pc, got ffxi running on newest windower, one problem, when I played on my old computer, when i clicked on my moogle, the cursor would automatically shift over to the left where it says mog safe, mog locker, etc..

now when i click on him, the cursor doesnt move to the menu.

isnt it set_cursorallowpos in init, and change it to 1?

Haven`t played in awhile, does Ducal Guard atma currently effect avatars regardless of their HP? Research has found conflicting reports with nothing too solid about the current state.

As far as I'm aware, yes, but it's pretty simple to test. Fight a mob without it, fight a mob with it. Should be an obvious difference in the first couple hits.
