Sadly, no. I would love a follow-up quest to find out what he found in the Northlands, but sadly it seems that real stories are a thing of the past in FFXI.

Anyone ever had a problem with their security token becoming unsynced? I've been having a really hard time logging in lately with it. I'll have to go through about 20+ numbers before it finally accepts one.

For DM would SAM SAM WHM work?

if you can, bring a thf or a nin to kite everything while you kill one by one. they won't last long, but five of them + two pets (especially if you get unlucky like me the last time i did and the mithra pops a mandy and it gets dream flower happy), even at 99 can make things go sideways faster than your mage can heal.

sam's should be able to tank them fine at 99...just dont fight downstairs, even if you die, just reraise, no biggie.

Aw, what a pity. I loved doing the stone monuments quest back then, and would love knowing more of him. And I just finished WotG story (best one imo), I just have left Sandy and Bastok missions and past quests to do.

Yep, pretty much.

WoE Veras?

**Darkmagi** · 2012-02-12 16:17

Yeah no. You spend more time making those than you do making 90 vere.

**Necromage** · 2012-02-12 16:37

I made the WoE gun, dagger, sword to 90 with enough coins to make the staff, H2H, and a shit ton more dropped.

I went and ditched the gun to do armageddon, I ditched the dagger for a STR magian/triplus (meh, w/e, Qilin only like to give boots..) while I work on Mandau (good ways through). I still use the WoE sword/str magian with the intention of making Almace after I finish Mandau.

The WoE H2H are for a MNK mule. I have some Fang and Scales for Vera hanging around in case I ever go to make it, but that be for Spicy and not a mule. I have 34 dice anyway from spamming WoE after getting comet on my second run as soon as 8-11 came out.

Why would I you ask? Egh, procrastination for months before giving in.

I parse about 70% Evade Rate in TP gear with no Evasion Dagger on DC mobs. Based on tanking multiple mobs at once, so Exenterator's Acc debuff wasn't on all of them. I dont have lolEva merits.

So I'd say about 20~25. Personally, I just took an AGI dagger to 99. It beats Triplus as an offhand using Exenterator on spreadsheet, so it's not terribad for DD, and means you dont have to make eva sacrifices in TP gear. Parsed capped evasion with it on the same mobs.

WotG had a great storyline, it just took a billion years for it to finish and a bit of filler to pad out the end because they were stretching it out for a few more months.

Here is a random question.

Septimus has WAR, SMN, THF, lolRDM, and roflDRK. Atum has WHM, SCH, BLU, BRD, and BLM. Which Atmacites should I upgrade for what jobs?

Predictable story, 90% of it was just running around, and some of the missions were just replaying cutscenes. If the add-ons didn't exist it would be the worst expansion.

As for atmacite, Coercion and Discipline for melee. No idea about mage jobs.

Lillisette was a likeable character, the Spite Wardens made for good villains, and Cait Sith was loveable. (I hope that she doesn't suck as a summon.) CoP had a lot of running around as well, honestly, I prefer that to: go one place, fight NM, get cutscene. The replaying missions was part of the padding that I mentioned, they obviously had to stretch it out for a few more months. WotG was obviously a victim of FFXI's budget cuts, but it was still a respectable storyline with some interesting characters.

Also, is Atmacite of Discipline going to be worth using after the Save TP nerf?

If you have a cor using miser's as well, and they stack, maybe.

Without cor, definitely not.
