How hard is Angra Mainyu now for Dyna Beau clear? I assume it takes a kiter, tank, and healer minimum. Anyone got any tips? Thanks!

**vitali** · 2012-01-26 09:16

Has anyone cleared dyna-valk since the update? What's the minimum number needed for Cirrate Christelle?

2 - Merits. For Group 1, I was thinking Reward 5/5... but what else? Sic Recast? And Group 2 is a bit ambiguous to me as well. Maybe 5/5 Beast Affinity and maybe Killer Instinct due to the upcoming update on it?

I'm also planning to get Ruinator 5/5 for BST as well.

Anything else maybe I should keep in mind?

Nazuna is the new carrie, cheap, decent, go-to for misc stuff.

The new tiger is (or at least at 95) was the best "dd" option, I believe, but a bit pricier. There's also other pets that are good based on elemental resistances, like the slug resists water a lot, and I'm sure there's a few others. I haven't played with the new pets that came in the last batch, so can't really comment on those.

Did it with War/Whm/Brd/Mnk. Doesn't spawn with any adds anymore, pretty sure it could be duo'd with a good DD/Healer combo.

Edit: Was it ever found out how WHM Body +2 Enhances Benediction?

Thanks muchly!

I have no sound with the windower once the game is up and running. POL has sound, the menu to press play has sound. But once you get into XI's user agreement blue screen and the game the sound cuts out

Run windower_gui > click the advance box > check enable sound

What I also found was that the Windower GUI would set max sound channels to 0 on occasion.

If you're comfortable editing the registry directly, go to the XI section and make sure 0007 is set to 1 (Sound on/off) and 0029 is at least 1 (max sound channels, usually in the 12-20 range).

falcor is better than dipper, but more expensive also, they both have the same TH/eva i believe. thing about nazuna is the lv 86 cap w/ out affinity merits, and even capped affinity won't get her to 99. i usualy use lulush for cheap DD, not as good as tiger but easy to make and 1/3 the price. slug is a popular choice as a cheap pet too, but it has limited DD moves. situational choice i'd say. for group 1 merits ... sic recast would be a waste, its a really short timer and you never have tp to use when its back up, unless you manage some crazy regain, and even still.... i went reward/call beast for lack of better options. i feel affinity merits (of which i have 5) are a waste too. theres just too many cheap, decent pets that cap out at 99 or 95 naturaly to try and drag naz into the present with merits. maybe 2 affinity merits for the pets that cap at 95, maybe.

Now that I have a ban credit, would it be funny enough to make a thread in advanced titled: "Ban Credit" with the only text being: "{Just used it!}"?

**loyaltrekie** · 2012-01-26 13:45

Where would one go about finding a half decent current 'what you want to get gear guide' for the various jobs? Before I quit I had mostly geared most of my jobs(lot of salvage and the like); but with all the new levels and the augment shit I don't know what is good or not; and where I should be aiming for. There's an asston of data to progress and having not kept up for the past 2 years the mound of info is just too much; lol. So yea, any item lists/gear sets/hellevenspellcastxmls[for the gear sets] would help me at this point

Or is it worth going down the Realmrazer route which I've heard some mutterings about ?

Bump ('n'grind), any help at all greatly appreciated.

When weakened, does sentinel's scherzo / earthen armor use your weakened max hp or original unmodified max hp to calculate whether or not it takes effect?

Does anyone know what I need to do to re-qualify for the Shantotto Ascension final fight? I tossed the original pants years ago and would like a pair of the mage version. Thanks.

Additional question - would the pants be worth it for WHM? Cure potency +5% looks nice, maybe with movement speed +8%? Advice welcome. ^^

**Darkmagi** · 2012-01-26 16:24

AF3+2 pants for WHM. movement/pdt

**Draylo** · 2012-01-26 16:28

Anyone know the deal with the youtube gameplay videos on the FFXI channel with those JP players from Bahamut? Seems like some promotional thing but I see they are buying stuff/selling daily, so I guess it follows these players ? God the girls have such annoying voices lol.

Speak to the goblin in Port Jeuno and reobtain the key item. Then you'll be able to redo the fight and get credit.
