It may be possible to position yourself that way, but this guy doesn't. His wyvern gets wiped from 40% or so by something and he spends the last three minutes using temps. I think it would have been more impressive to use a -DT set and keep his wyvern out, although he does win.

He does kinda, it stays out of shinryu's melee range (aoe melee). His wyvern doesn't even die, he just 2hrd. Impresive, especially because PS2 etc. I'm keen to try this now.

When you transfer... stuff that is pending delivery or on AH is lost... not stuff already sitting in your delivery box?

[Esvedium]

I believe anything in your dbox/pending is gone, but not 100% sure.

[Selamis]

A friend of mine had gear stored in delivery box on his mule and when Unicorn got merged into Fenrir, he had quit already, but once he returned on Fenrir, his gear was missing. Fairly sure you lose anything that's not actually stored on the character.

Can someone give me a WS set for Blade: Metsu?

Bump~Help please?

[Radec]

Kikoku/Str/---/Demonry Core
Oce+1/Justicar/Brutal/4dex
Iga+2/Mrymex/Rajas/Epona
Atheling/Wanion/Byakko/Thaumaus

Or, just stack w/e dex gear you already have til you finish trials.

It ends up looking almost exactly like your :shun set, except no gorget/belt - and just using those instead won't kill you.

[hykiri]

Thanks.

Everything in dbox/AH is lost upon transfer, 100% sure.

Oh, you're right. He used it shortly after a TP move and via a macro ("Help"), so I missed it. It looks like his wyvern got hit by terror shortly before, maybe that's why he used spirit surge? Did he use a terror screen literally moments before Dark Matter? I'm trying to understand what prompted the spirit surge, since that's a pretty risky move.

Just spoke to the one person on Bismarck that sold one to himself last year, and he said that he got it from the quest "Hara-kiri" from Zaldon. He fished up Yayinbaligi in Caedarva Mire to get the ring.

If you look at great blue, inside the belly items are referred to as harakiri items. so its probably inside the belly

How do people get POLUtils to examine the .dats in the Test Server install instead of the normal install?

How do people get POLUtils to examine the .dats in the Test Server install instead of the normal install?

It's open source, so I imagine you could just have it point to a different directory and compile it as such..though I'm not entirely sure.

Exactly that, here is a precompiled one that points to test server - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/547381/POLU...Server_x86.zip should work no matter where you installed test server, but don't overwrite your existing utils with it, as it doesn't point to real-server at all - looking into getting it to do either, but keep seperate polutils folders for now.

Edit: Anyone working from the source, change

    public const string FFXI        = "0001";

to

    public const string FFXI        = "0015";

Is anyone able to DL the new patch yet? Trying to do it through the File Checker I am getting all kinds of POL-1160. I love it when they do maintenance when people are home. >_>

[Esvedium]

It'c checking files for me right now. Not sure if it'll DL yet though. 13min left on file check.

[Radec]

File Check is probably down until ~45mins before maint finishes

From 14:00 to 23:15 (PDT)
- PlayOnline will be unavailable.

[Septimus]

Fuck this shit, I have been doing check files for a few hours now. Someone let me known when I can DL shit to start mining.

[Esvedium]

Yea, I just got 1160. Oh well.

Since the merit update, people think it's worth dropping fold merits to 1/5? Don't see any use on anymore than 1. Could be better spent going into 3 winning streak (5/5 snake eye and 1/5 loaded deck seem like no brainers)

Fold isn't THAT useful before G2 update also, since you can just keep No.11 locked or zone out to erase bust, now it's totally pointless to put more than 1.

5/5 snake eye is also overratted after G2 update, it's only useful if you snake eye on an unlucky number, and I rarely get to use it on unlucky from my personal experience.

If you're doing 4 roll rotation(2 on melee 2 on yourself), majority of rolls won't get a snake eye unless relic+2 pants proc, and even with 5/5 proc rate still kinda weak.

I did a couple of Provenance run with 5/5 snake eye+3/5 winning steak after G2, then changed to 3/5 snake eye+ 5/5 winning streak and haven't look back.

Is POL still down? Every time I try to sign into POL I get network is busy and yet it seems like most people have had the update for hours?
