Random Question Thread XXV: Septimus Maximus, Isladar Über Alles

[Rorion]

So I came back to the game a few months agoo, after a two year break, all is cool and groovy... Some guys says it's fast and easy to solo-farm a Mandau nowadays, can anyone confirm and perhaps furthermore give some advice?
thf@99 and got decent gear.

I would start by studying up on neo dynamis from the wiki link. Excellent information there. Second thread can give you information on how well people did concerning farming currency. You will have to dig though as I'm not sure which page it really starts at, but it's worth skimming over the thread.

Rawr I don't know how! I'll figure it out...

[Classikmage]

Did the servers just crash or something? I have full internet access but FFXI DC'd me and now I can't get back on. I keep getting an error message that the server isn't responding.

[Rorion]

Awesome guys, thanks alot.

Can't from the quick reply, that I know of. Have to "go advanced" and it's an option under the text box on that screen.

[Kalmado]

Ok changed it. Ty Esv, and yeah something just happened because I dc'd too but internet didn't go down. Back up though with no issues.

Can I work on 2 Eva Katana trials at once on the same stage? I thought you weren't allowed before, but then I read otherwise. Want confirmation before I go and catch a new one up to my current.

For Shijin Spiral, is it better stack DEX or just in spots I cant get STR?

[Maguile]

Useful trophy items from abyssea as of now?

Unless they changed it recently (which i doubt) you can't.

That's what I thought. I had read you could because they weren't rare, but that didn't seem right so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

The confusion is probably because you can do two of the same path weapons at the same time as long as they're not on the same stage.
For example you could get points for a Trial 27 AGI Dakini Dagger (200 morbols, weather) and Trial 1893 Kila (300 plantoids, weather) at the same time if dual-wielding.

For Shijin Spiral, is it better stack DEX or just in spots I cant get STR?

The general rule in this case is stack DEX as much as possible, but of course, there's several pieces that the other stats (acc, att, STR mainly) can overcome the difference. On my PUP, however, I think that I use very few non max DEX pieces. Brutal is there, Pipilaka instead of Artful+1 (I think it's very slightly worse, but the price and availability difference is abysmal), Rajas instead of a second Thundersoul and... That's it, pretty much. The rest is the gear that gives the most DEX, which of course usually carries other useful stats with it.

Oh, the weapon is the Oxyuranis STR path, much better than DEX path.

Go to the back of Gustuv tunnel and spam bio on worms.

Those worms are huge too, found them the other day doing a trial in Gustav.

Someone mentioned there's a crystal dragon looking thing in the dats...i don't feel like digging for it can someone post it?

[Rehn]

For an example... say I'm doing magian staff light macc, if I diaga a group of mobs and proceed to cleave them down, would I get trial credit for all of them?

Characters are gone. Deleted SE account = everything attached to it was wiped.

Great news! My buddy was able to get the account back. He didn't even call in. He did online chat. So if anyone runs into this problem there is a possibility it can be fixed!
