What exactly does it take to hit the delay cap, and what effect does Dual Wield have on it?

(1 - Haste%)*(1-DW%) = 20% is the cap

You max delay reduction is 80%.

A 200 delay weapon can not swing faster then 40 delay. That includes DW,MA and haste.

Did anyone ever math out whether or not the 5% Zanshin on Unkai Sugemino beats Atheling Mantle for a 6-Hit Zanshin Build?

Merits:
5/5 Store TP
5/5 Zanshin
5/5 Ikishoten
5/5 Overwhelm

I'm also a bit unsure about Meditate vs Store TP Merits. Please feel free to tell me anything else I missed or have wrong.

So I'm throwing around the idea of asking a friend that retired for her account, so I can use her blm for proc'ing yellow, and her whm or rdm as a mule for my melee jobs. Assuming she says yes to letting me take over it, I know that she would have to reactivate content ids on the website and then chose a new payment method with the upcoming change, would I have to link her character and se id, to my se account? Or would hers be separate and for payment info I would just enter my card twice (once on my account and then once for her) or can I just buy enough crysta for two accounts and then split it up between the two?

I know we can buy crysta directly now, I still haven't made the transfer yet though since I was holding out originally, but still can't buy exact amounts yet, and that is coming in the fall. Just trying to figure out the easiest way to set this up so that I can pay for both accounts without a big headache and ideally I would want to leave all her account info the same so if she came back ever, she could log in at any time and take over payments.

So a while ago I unliked my mule from its SE account. With the new linking system, do I need to relink it to the original SE ID or can I link it to my own? They are two different SE accounts.

Is there a way to make FFXI acknowledge that I have a controler via regedit? My Test server didn't install a config option -.-

Copy these keys from 'FinalFantasyXI' to 'FinalFantasyXITestClient'.

Adjust for your region/OS (64 bit variants will be in Software/Wow6432Node or similar.)

Now someone needs to get a windower update out that lets us toggle between test/public.

Is Fleshflayer Killakriq one of those 'Just fucking Brew it' fights?

He takes approximately 50% damage and hits pretty hard, but you can kill him with a party and competent healing.

[DNAval]

Sorry beforehand for the rage......


How the fuck do you enter Expansion Registration codes Purchased in Amazon? been going back and forth from SE account to Playonline and I can't find shit on how to do it....

stun frypan and dangerous ga's, erase blinktank quickly and yes a competent healer. Fight will take a while but a brew is not necessary. thief friend and my drk/sam handled him with a whm and blm there 3 times in a row. Just a long and very annoying fight

btw i learned the hard way that counterstance + goblin rush is a horrible thing. Did over 2400+ to me one time on mnk lol.

I've done it NIN + WHM + 2boxed BLM/THF where I more or less completely ignored the BLM (only casted stun a handful of times while it was on WHM, never during -ga etc when on me). Took a while, but wasn't hard. Hate reset kind of sucks but a good WHM can survive it.

Couple few questions here:
1.) Will maat fight cap you @ 75 when you enter, or can you slaughter him as a level 90?

2.) How is drop rate of Oneiros Grip?

3.) How are drop rates of the Fiendish Tomes for Jueno Arch Mega Boss?

Thanks in advance!

[GeneyusTitan]

You fight Maat at whatever level you are, it doesn't cap.

Do you actually have to join the official forums to play on the test server?

I think I made a mistake, bought the wrong thing, just wasted $15 and a bunch of time...

I didn't have any of the Abbysea expansions, and I checked the retail stores near me, and they didnt carry it. So I bought the "ultimate collection abbysea edition" download from Amazon as that was the only abyssea related thing i could find. I downloaded the game and it gave me 2 keys. 1 for the game and 1 for the beret.

However when I go to the SE account management website and put in the codes, they both say "the entered code is invalid". Am I going to have to reinstall all of FF11 to get this to work, since I can only assume it's not working because the key is for all the expansions and I only need abyssea? Or is there something else going on?
And if I do reinstall the game and am able to use the new keys, would that even matter, because isn't my account permanently linked to the registration codes I'm currently using?

oh, and when the installation screen 1st popped up after it finished downloading, It didn't even mention any of the mini-expansions on the install list. Though I assumed that to be because it's something already installed with the base version of the game and buying the code just unlocks it?

[Jaregue]

I recently purchased the ultimate collection from amazon as well. i installed the game from the download i bought. I had most of the expansions, when i entered the key that amazon gave me, it registered the ones i didn't already have. So i'm not exactly sure why you'd see key invalid, unless you mistyped it somehow. If that isn't the case then I'd call SE

but to clarify you did add the key by going to Select Service, FFXI, Add a service account?

Insert them there^ if you didn't already. Make sure you haven't mistyped anything and that stuff is in caps.

And if I do reinstall the game and am able to use the new keys, would that even matter, because isn't my account permanently linked to the registration codes I'm currently using?

Reinstalling your game would do no good. The problem is obviously in your Square Enix account, so you will have to make it work through that. I'd really just suggest trying again, making sure you clicked the correct buttons. The way you're doing it here definitely does work.

Correct.
