An issue wherein trading items with the NPC “Sagheera” in Port Jeuno may not execute properly.

* As a temporary counter measure, we have removed the NPC “Sagheera” in Port Jeuno. The NPC will be restored once the issue has been addressed.

That's what I get for listening to shouts on asura /rimshot

[Draylo]

Anyone have modded dynamis maps for in-game?

[Atoreis]

Sorry for noob questions but how exactly I can change weapon graphic DATs (Like ark weapons for Shikargar)?

Also anyone have silence plugin? This one at windower page has broken link I think.

[Yugl]

Use Altana Viewer or Model Viewer to find the location of the DAT (Remember the ROM folder # and all the info to the right of that). Find the DAT by going to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ffxi\SquareEnix => Final Fantasy XI => Find the ROM/DAT

Rename the DAT from .DAT to .BAK and then place the customer .DAT within the folder using the name of the DAT (Should be a number).

Silence Plugin: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65839275/Silence.dll

T1/T2 merits for drg? was thinking

5/5 jump recast
5/5 high jump recast

5/5 deep breathing
1/5 angon
4/5 Strafe

[dasva]

I'm no dragon but I'd take stuff out of deep breathing and put it into angon. Iirc the most recent boost made it cure insane amounts so having more than 1 deep breathing is kind of a waste. And well zergs usually take longer than 30 second and Idk the idea of being able to keep up -25% def half the time makes me happy

Also get rid of strafe seems like crap. Put some into empathy since it lvls up your wyvern now

[shaggnix]

T1/T2 merits for drg? was thinking

5/5 jump recast
5/5 high jump recast

5/5 deep breathing
1/5 angon
4/5 Strafe

T1: 5/5 jump/high jump for sure
T2: at least 1/5 in angon/empathy/DB
strafe merits are a waste
put your remaining 7 where you feel they'd benefit your playstyle best. i have maxed angon from waaaaaaay back that i never got around to reworking. putting at least 1 into empathy lets you use spirit link even if your wyverns at 100% hp, allowing you to snag 1/2 your wyverns tp whenever SL is up. with the T2 merit adjustments DB recast is 5 min even at 1/5. if you max it out 5/5 you'll end up with a 220% potency healing breath instead of 200%. marginal gain. i feel maxed angon is under rated, 75 seconds of -20% def down, and if you get the augmented af2+2 hands it bumps it up to -25% def down. not as much as Tachi: agehas -30% (which will overwrite it) but looking at your other options for T2 merits i still kinda feel its where you benefit the most from additional merits. arguably putting them into empathy might be better with the recent update to spirit link/empathy lving up your wyvern, but i don't have a good enough grasp of the changes yet to say for sure

[BerenTebogo]

Can any argument be made to do Excalibur these days? How much of the new content resists the add. effect?

5/5 Angon Is a must
4/5 DP
1/5 Empathy
Can change around DP and empathy based on your play style etc. Idk why you thought meriting strafe was a good idea. Or why some people are telling you that you can just put one merit into angon -20%/25% def down is too buff to not cap out.

Can't think of anything that resists the effect, but it's a tough one to push to make considering almace is pretty awesome if you have a strong CDC set.

PLD doesn't have all that much role outside of holding adds and holding Botulus until HQ staggers are found, neither of which Excalibur is useful for. Just jump on the Ragnarok bandwagon.

Empathy used to be good to have 1/5 because it meant you could spirit link for TP without dropping your HP as mentioned. Since the update it's now awesome to have at least 1/5 because every time you spirit link the wyvern now levels up (and in doing so, recovers full HP) until you cap wyvern exp.

Angon 5/5 for definite imo because as the poster above me said: a lot of current content (voidwatch for one) is not a 30 second zerg.

I'm tempted to switch from 4/5 DB & 1/5 Empathy to 2/5 DB & 3/5 Empathy tbh. It gives 200 exp per merit, and wyvern exp caps at 1k iirc so 3/5 seems like a logical choice. 2/5 = 3 spirit links caps exp, 3/5 and 4/5 = 2 spirit links caps. (and capped wyvern exp = more HP healing breath). Of course wouldn't be any use for soloing stuff where you build EXP quick before hand, but for BCNMs/VW/etc it'd be handy.

Refuse to do Ragnarok out of A) stubbornness and B) already did Bravura. It's pretty much gonna be Gugnir, Excal, or another Bravura for fun. I've heard yoichi is useless now?

[Guitarman]

That's what i've been told. Anni is the way to go.

[Bardlet]

Any word on a Mog Bonanaza for this year? I thought usually by now we would've already purchased our marbles. Or am I retarded and missed it? ._.;

[Yugl]

5 Angon
4 Empathy
1 DB

Not seeing the appeal in DB tbh. Healing breath IV + DB + Armet+2 => Ridiculous cures.

[buddyslack]

Does anyone have a list of what Visions nm's drop which +2 items with and without yellow stagger?
E.g. Briareus will drop stone with TH and Jewel with !!

And do Scars pop nm's drop any of the Heroes +2 items with just TH or is it only the 100% drop and everything else is !! proc

Nomad Mog Bonanza for Vana'fest, and that will be the last one ever. Apparently international law is making it harder to hold them.

Spoiler: show

Greetings!

As many of you seem to be curious about the status of the Nomad Mog Bonanza, I’d like to take a moment to explain the current situation.

The North America and European Community Teams have been working diligently preparing for the Nomad Mog Bonanza, but unfortunately due to changing times and differing global laws, we will not be able to hold a Mog Bonanza for NA and EU regions moving forward.

While Japan will hold the Nomad Mog Bonanza at VanaFest 2012, it will mark the final Mog Bonanza of Vana’diel. Furthermore, to make sure that our players in North America and Europe aren't left out, we will be holding a separate event where players will be able to win similar prizes (all the goodies from tier 1, tier 2, and tier3…plus a bunch of other rare in-game items), so rest assured we will be giving you a good opportunity to make all your Vana’diel dreams come true!

Also, even though the Mog Bonanza will be gone, we will be offering a different event for our end of the year celebration for a chance to win the items of your dreams!

We will be announcing the NA/EU event very shortly, so hang tight and look forward to it!
