Random Question Thread XXVI: The Rise and Fall of the RQT

[Radec]

More like 15h

Where and what page are you doing in gov that is netting you that kind of exp/hr.

I normally go to gusgen at 12-13ish using mule to pull all the ghouls and just afk with PL up if there is 10~ people already there (usually is when I'm on).

Aura pots on olla level. Soon as mule can get exp from them, ~6-7, I max out at around 80k/hour there(edit: as relic99 mnk, ymmv). It's only 227,850 from 0 > 49, but you'll spend the first hour building gov chain up, so it'll average lower. Mule can afk right on the book and get xp from all the pots, definitely not 15 hours.

Beat dyna beau last night (eye is a joke but dragons are a bitch) what would be the minimal needed for dl now? Also what is the best zone for coins? Xarc is nice but never done cop zones post update not sure if the white procs would make them better. Jobs would be nin/thf (Lvling thf/dnc ATM) Blu/dnc and whm/rdm

[Radec]

Coins, always CoP, largely because for every 20min window, 100% of the mobs in camp are proced the same way, whichever you aim for (99%, it's JA) - no magic proc mobs linking and costing you time.

You have to download windower plugin called Wincontrol once you are in game and have loaded type in the console:
wincontrol move -1920 0

Not sure if this works for you, but I have set my right monitor as my main monitor which ffxi starts on by default which makes the left monitor -1920 in cords.

Does it not just load on whichever monitor i'm currently using? If i'm fine with ffxi being on the "Main" monitor is it easy to open the other game on the secondary monitor?

What augments do i need on my Shura head+1 to make it better then Mekira +1 for Fudo, Also if the WS dmg on Shura head is just for first hit of WS is it still better then Mekira+1 for Shoha

I have att6 wsdmg3 scdmg3 that I use for Fudo and Hi.

For Shoha use Mekira+1

[Gun-it]

Better then thaumas for Hi?

[Gun-it]

Worth using?

As Radec mentioned, as long as the other game you load up can run fullscreen+windowed (I know Diablo 3 can do this) POL won't crash. But any non-windowed, fullscreen game will likely cause POL to crash. And if you use something like DisplayFusion, you can then move that fullscreen+windowed game to your secondary monitor and have both up at the same time.

Next question! LS is attempting New Omega tonight, looks like we're only gonna have 12 people (most people missed the last run where we got the KI). I know we should probably have a dedicated saccer grabbing pods as they pop, but anything else I should know as far as strategy or party set ups?

I believe I had read that the only use for the KI was to allow you to buy the 150 coin chip and that it disappears afterwards. You can confirm with the person buying the chip. If Sagheera takes his KI then I can't see how you would need it to participate in the fight.

[Eurell]

Yep, I actually just read that after I posted lol. I was unaware that we needed another chip, I thought just the KI was needed for entry. Dunno where I got that idea though. Thanks

Possibly stupid question but... does it matter if ele belt and elemental gorget don't match? for example, both aqua gorget and Snow Belt work on ruinator, does it matter if I use them instead of using aqua gorget/belt together?

No, doesn't matter.

has anyone had to deal with the LM-31 ban related to ClickandBuy issues? If so, what was your turnaround to getting your account back up?

Got the hammer last night, spoke to cust. service this morning but ban was not in system yet. When I mentioned the code, he said that a lot of people are getting LM-31'ed because of some issue with ClickandBuy.

Anyone have an updated altana viewer link?

Which chat filter covers enemy TP/spell? I've had Special action/special action effects for self, allies, foes, and others unblocked. It's a little annoying seeing everyone readying their weaponskills though, and every once in a while something doesn't show up in my log. Also, is there a font color category that pertains only to monster's actions?

Edit: never mind on the font color. It seems everything goes under the "Standard battle messages" category, which is just dumb.

The way we set up the jobs was to maximize procs with Blu (and thf soon) for ja procs and whm Blu (and currently nin) all spamming spells to proc hem fairly fast. Doing cop with give me 1 20 of easy procs but 40 min of basicly no procs. So I'm thinking xarc would be better for shear procing rate but I'm not sure how much of a influence the white proc 100 in cop are also don't we lose our sj in cop? Making procs harder

No, you change camps every 20mins, so you're always on JA or (for pup solo) WS mobs - 00:00 to 08:00 on mobA, 08:00 to 16:00 on mobB, 16:00 to 24:00 on mobC, then back to mobA

White isn't usually worth aiming for since it's so very rare and you lose the DPS gain from a SJ.

[Aylee]

Ah ok Ty didn't know about that is there a Lot of comp around 9 est? I still need nin/thf hands from xarc but we will Try cop after
