What's the best or only way to farm Forbidden Keys? Don't have cleaving jobs if matters.

What's the best or only way to farm Forbidden Keys? Don't have cleaving jobs if matters.

Potential whoosh, but seems like would be easier to farm cruor to buy them, than to actually farm the item. Cruor party on coli/bats run nearly fulltime around here.

If you're solo, alternating the 2 crab types in mis works acceptably well, but they will level up to vt-it so you'll need to be able to handle that.

I'm having a really hard time seeing how ~1.25% Hassanshin rate is worth losing 30 seconds on Meditate, even if you're getting double TP return from Ikishoten merits. I could see it if you were talking about dropping Store TP merits for Zanshin in a six-hit build, I guess, but Meditate?

Doubly so when people also say that Third Eye is a valid merit option.

[bruice]

Aww. Didn't know you could buy them <_______<; haha. Fail. Thanks~

Optimal amber lights needed to farm Dark Rings in Abyssea Kons?

Optimal amber lights needed to farm Tiger Kings Hide in Abyssea Altepa?

I've spent more time in Highlands then anyone else I know. I have six PDT/MDT -5% rings and two refresh hairpins across three characters. You can get double ring drop from small box, which you'll see from about 80 - 140 amber. (Below 80 you got a lot of pop items, above 140 you stop getting pop items, but you get KI). However, every time I've gotten a refresh hairpin or a dark ring with good augments, it's been from a big gold box, with capped amber. I'm aware that these items can drop from box with less amber, but I personally believe that max amber increases the quality of your augments. And hell no, I'm not going back to that zone to test my theory.

i got 2 refresh hairpin in like 8 hours by capping amber/pearl/azure on nin & whm, with my friend's char standing there on blu and once lights were capped i would just pull all slugs & wivre to blu and charged whisker them. Was getting almost 1 ring per pull.

Just had it happen on login today and it made me change my password. Any idea what may have caused it?

EDIT: I assume it's because I've recently changed ISP so got a new IP address but other people have frequently logged into my account before this without issue.

Best bullet for cor? The options seem.......limited.

[Fereydoon]

Ideally, Oberon, realistically, Steel.

So here's a question from 2006. Having some real trouble fishing up a hydroguage for cor AF quest in nashmau. Been at it for over an hour and a half ~.~ Don't recall it being this much of a pain in my ass.

Edit: 2 hours later got it.

Do you meditate every time it is up?

Since I am to dumb to make a spellcast xml, is there an easy way to sort windower macros? Like can I make folders and execute them from the folders? If so, what would the command look like?

Intense hate. I spent about 80+ hours trying to farm a refresh pin. Atleast I ended up with a bunch of -6% pdt and mdt rings for my friends and I lol.

[arshesney]

Sure you can organize your macros in folders: "/console exec mymacro.txt" means you're looking for the mymacros.txt file in your scripts folder (that's your root).
From there you can create, let's say, a war folder and make something like: "/console exec war/mywarmacro.txt" and so on, all the way to: "/console exec mychar/war/noabyssea/ragingrush.txt".

It's not too recent, maybe a several months, but it's a new security feature they put in.

It doesn't affect people with token enabled. Presumably it does affect people who got token then removed token.

Is there any Dominion gear worth trading trophies for, for THF or MNK?

[Atoreis]

Do you meditate every time it is up?

I bet he is! Even if just for the sake of argument!

[Cleverness]

Is there any Dominion gear worth trading trophies for, for THF or MNK?

THF can get some eva legs that may not be desirable if you got Ocelots although I believe it gets like 3 more eva than ocelots. MNK I'm not too sure.

[Ratatapa]
