Just blew 25$ on crysta from a visa card and it's not showing up on my SE account. Is there some kind of stupid wait time on this online transaction or is something fucked up.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-02-04 04:17

There's about a half hour delay, in my experience.

Thanks for the quick response, I was getting a bit concerned I'd have to spend my saturday sifting through a bunch of emailing an paper bullshit to get my money back. On the other hand I've recently starte playing MTGO an am honestly debating quitting ffxi so I can afford to play some real magic...

Mostly directed at Noodles, but to anyone really:

COR 4-hit build after Save TP nerf: Still viable? Would the same TP set be used?
Vulcan's/Rose/Arma/Orichalcum
AF3+2/Rancor/Clearview/Volley
Loki's/Praeda/Hoard/Rajas
AF3/Oneiros/AF3+2/Praeda

Edit: Also, optimal Last Stand WS set for COR?

**urat** · 2012-02-04 05:55

Ok so now it's been an hour an a half an still no crysta, looks like not only am I out on money, but I need to wait til monday to contact SE... sigh...

Best unless you have fully upgraded Mandau or Terpsicore. Still beats Mercy Stroke for stacked TAWS I believe.

Atheling/Twilight/Raider's+2/Ballerines

Evisceration gear:
Thochka/Kila +2/Raider's Boomerang/-
Hecatomb/Rancor/Triumph (Lord I need to upgrade that)/Brutal
Raiders+2/Raider's+2/Rajas/Pyrosoul
Atheling/Warwolf/Raider's+2/Hecatomb

For Sneak and Trick I sub in Assassin's Cape (only back piece that I have with DEX and AGI), for Trick I sub in Raider's +2.

What could I be doing better with this, besides impossible to get things like anything out of VW? Also, I am leveling up Exenterator, what should I do to gear that up?

Ballerines's 5% Haste put you at 27% Haste and they also have -5Attack. So use a 3% Feet like Homam/Ryuga/Dusk+1. Improvement on that would be to swap haste feet out entirely for AF2+2 feet and AF3+2 hands out for Dusk+1/Brego. Also your Rajas is on the wrong finger.
WS: Hecatomb > Augmented Hecatomb+1 for the feet (concidering how easy they are to get). Good augment on HQ heca hands could beat AF3+2 maybe, not sure on that. Heca cap to +1 or Aias Bonnet unless it has a great augment I believe. Triumph>Merman's at the very least or any decent dex or attack earring. Af3+2 body to Loki's. Pyrosoul to Thundersoul. Warwolf to Cuchulain.

Easy exenterator set:
Ocelomeh, moepeppa/hyoui, drone, brutal
denali, af3+2, stormsoul, stormsoul
atheling, crudeli, ambushers, af3+2

Toss Assassin's Cape.

Will get back to you on the 4hit after I look over some stuff. For Last Stand I think it's this (someone can point out if I've missed something):
Ocelomeh+1, WS Gorget, AGI+8 Earring set
Loki's, Skadi, Stormsoul, Stormsoul
Terebellum, WS Belt, Ambushers, Af3+2

Are chocobo blinkers still the best crour > Gil raito? Someone said the new cells for VM. (I see stacks for 80~100K a stack if matters)

**arus2001** · 2012-02-04 08:26

1 Blinker = 200 Cruor. 1 Blinker NPCs for 529g or so. 1 Cruor = 2.645 gil.
1 Cell = 3000 Cruor. At 80k/stack, 1 cell is 6666 gil. 1 Cell = 2.222 gil.
At 100k/stack, 1 cell is 8333 gil. 1 Cell = 2.777 gil.

Any advantage in the last is pretty much lost in taxes and waiting for them to sell.

Edit: Just realized I may be mixing up cruor and AN costs. Gonna double check and fix if so.
Edit 2: Nope, just CN costs that are 2000 instead of 3000.

The effort for Cells is almost 0 and they sell pretty fast. You can also Bazaar them to skip the tax and sell more then 7 stacks at once.

Got LM11ed last night, 72hr suspension, whats the chance I'll get perma?

GMs are fast too, from the first tell to the suspension was right at 2min. 4 total tells in 2min could easily be lost in log spam if you aren't careful.

**Kaope** · 2012-02-04 09:40

Just got myself Athos's Tights, and I only have thf and blu to use it.

1) Best pants for CDC
2) Best pants for solo SA, and stacked ws (Aside from exenterator)

Anything else?

**PinkiePie** · 2012-02-04 09:46

Just re activated my content id,
installed abyssea,
but where do I go to input this activation code? (and bonus code it comes with)

It's on the website now, not POL. That's all I've got for you, as I haven't had to do it.

**Buffy** · 2012-02-04 10:12

Best Dagger/Dagger combo for DNC/locked sub-job in Dynamis? I'm leaning towards Twashtar 90 and some sort of magian str/attack dagger. Not sure really. Looking for best damage to tear through mobs as quickly as possible.

Will be in the company of a RDM and a THF in case that might matter.

**PinkiePie** · 2012-02-04 10:12

Been looking on the website, idk why they don't just have a simple tab for "activate registration codes", it needs to be all hidden and complicated.

If anyone knows where on the site I go to activate, please let me know, pretty much wasting game time as I can't go to the new areas..

**PinkiePie** · 2012-02-04 10:18

Someone pointed me in the right direction, thanks anyway

They are the best pants for blu TP when paired with athos's boots for partial set bonus, if acc/eva aren't a concern anyway.

Probably depends on what you were doing and if you've been suspended before. Having tells lost in log spam implies to me that you were AFK doing something. Whenever I do that (skilling up mostly) I load chatmon. :/
