Random Question Thread XXII: You Know the Deal

[Chun Liroy]

sorry what do you mean by shots? Pictures? Not wooshing or anything like that, my lsmate uses drk quite a bit with torcleaver.

Yeah, pictures with damage, inside and outside pref. Also, a qualitative question, but drk is still fun to use right? XD

[Aozora]

Yay, rudra's storm isnt so hit or miss anymore. doing consistent 5.5-6k with climactic. now i can use loki's as well

in abyssea of course, i need to test other areas

Checked logs, I have dmg filtered so this is the best i can do from conversation right now:

[15:52:12]<Cdgreg> zic any idea your average torcleaver inside and outside of abyssea/
[15:52:59]<Zicdeh> I tend to have a very different understanding of "Average"
[15:53:19]<Cdgreg> dude on BG is asking "Yeah, pictures with damage, inside and outside pref. "
[15:53:21]<Zicdeh> going off a median, it's around 3600
[15:53:25]<Cdgreg> inr egards to torcleaver
[15:53:35]<Zicdeh> Because of all the Triple attacks in abyssea

[15:53:48]Moogle : I'll look after your items, kupo!
[15:53:53]<Zicdeh> RR-VV-APOC
[15:54:01]<Zicdeh> GOing off what I call average though
[15:54:06]<Zicdeh> no Double atk
[15:54:09]<Zicdeh> No Double/Triple
[15:54:12]<Zicdeh> 2400
[15:54:22]<Cdgreg> any idea outside of abyssea?
[15:54:23]<Zicdeh> Outside around 2100
[15:54:26]<Cdgreg> thanks

His DRK is quite well geared, definitely his main and he loves to play it. He'll also use WHM, but it's hard to get him off DRK lol.

edit: idk how updated this is, but maybe can get sets from here:

probably been asked a bunch of times somewhere, but do you need to leave Empyrean+2 head on for dnc for climactic, or can you take it off as long as it was on for the activation? I mainly ask seeing as the WS change means I need to pick between heads.

[Aozora]

im fairly sure you wont get the crit dmg bonus without the head on

Alrighty, thanks cdgreg.

[Phoenyx]

[stamos]

Since I am never on dnc at all, af3 head precast or locked for climactic flourish?

[Fievel]

Isn't there a download for the game somewhere on BG? I wiped my computer and don't have disks to re-install.

Am I crazy or has anyone else noticed loss in graphical detail in character models?

Edit:
Wanted to just edit this and not post 2 in a row
Question is AutoExe, when I switch to NIN it is suppose to do a few things. Is this the right syntax to have Day/Night feet auto equip?
SpellCast handles the actual Variable for my idle set.

	<!--Ninja-->
	<register event="jobchangefull_nin9*/*" silent="true">
		input /macro book 1;
		wait 1;
		input /macro set 1;
		input /echo ------------------------------------------------------------ Macros Changed to NIN;
		input /echo ------------------------------------------------------------ Blade: Hi "Key Bind" to F10;
		bind F10 input /ws "Blade: Hi" &lt;t&gt;;
		autoexec register 12345 "time_7.00" input /equip feet "Danzo Sune-ate";
		autoexec register 12346 "time_17.00" input /equip feet "Nin. Kyahan +1"
	</register>
	<register event="(regex)jobchange_(?!NIN).*(/regex)" silent="false">autoexec unregister 12345;autoexec unregister 12346</register>

As always thank you for any advice you can offer, /kneel

Are the NM pop rates from the Ramparts in Bhaflau Remnants still the same, or have they been increased?

Unfortunately, at least with bees, the pop rate continues to be both shitty and random. That said, if you do see a pop, you'll likely get a drop. Last Monday, all five bees we got dropped 35s, 3 usu, 2 skadi. The droprate pre-patch was pretty good to begin with (in our experience, about at 60% drop rate) and it's better now. Our belief is that the nm popped on our last BR run because on vent, we acknowledged that it was a wasp, rather than a bee.

Verethranga's ODD procs on both hands? http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...43815227051152

[Churchill]

Eh, I will need to pay more attention to it. tbh i never really even see half the shit my character does. As I understood it does not

I do know that it would be very easy to mistake a non-ODD crit for an ODD crit, esp if you don't understand much about how the game works etc. I've done regular crits for 500, 600, even 750ish at times given correct physical damage weaknesses. Usually hovers around 450 though.

Is there any considerable difference in upgrading Windower from version 3.41 to 3.431?

Is it possible to install a different region expansion pack in FFXI?
Like I have EU POL/FFXI/RoZ/CoP/ToAU, and US WoTG. When I run the installer it says "FFXI not installed". Is there anyway around this?
I saw someone mention editing the registry values, but I just opened the registry and I don't have a pol or ffxi folder in it anyway.

This would be so much easier if it was possible to find an EU copy of WotG to download. (I couldn't find the wotg disc when I went home, and am away from home for atleast 6 months now)

[TybudX]

Kindred's Crests and High Kindred's Crests only drop as often as Beastmen/Kindred's Seals, right? Looks like you can trade any 3 seals/crests for one of a different type from Shemo.

regedit for 64bit on my machine is under:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\P layOnlineUS\SquareEnix\FinalFantasyXI
I would imagine you can not mix region codes due to Regedit having US as part of the string.
Options could be Find a US version?

Verethranga's ODD procs on both hands? http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...43815227051152

Maybe it was actually a double attacked main hand? I remember there being something screwy about the order of attack animations.

So does anyone know if Ikishoten worked with the new zanshin?

Also if 100% zanshin rate meant it activated 100% when you hit too now?
