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

[Omnipotent]

Yeah, you can get a skill up on both

[Dathus]

So I could see:
"Dathus's bonecraft skill rises 0.1 points.
Dathus' Alchemy skill rises 0.1 points.
You synthesized a pair of Cermet Claws"? Excellent. Thanks.

Decided to come back to the game after about a year break. Don't have my discs anymore and downloaded the full patch torrent from here. Is there anyway to install the game without having the discs? or do I need to get it from amazon for cheap or something?\

Also, for the square-enix ID, was it our original ffxi id? AAAA1111 or was it an email address or something we set ourselves? I can't seem to remember mine.

[dasva]

Is Iga Dochugappa good?

Not really. I guess it would be decent if you couldn't get atheling but seeing as that is much easier to get...

I recently started dual boxing using ffxi-util's sandbox plugin. I'm running into an issue with the windower plugin 'spellcast' on the second window. It loads the charname.xml correctly, but the first time I attempt to type a command the following error appears in that characters windower console: Access violation in OutgoingText method. Spellcast - Plugin succesfully unloaded.

The plugin works fine in the first window. I've done some google research to no avail. All I have in the spellcast xml is a script for cancelling shadows while casting utsusemi: ichi. Any ideas as to what is causing this error?

Your square-enix ID was created by you, although you might not have done it yet. Once you make your square-enix account, you have to link your POL account to it using your POL ID, which is the AAAA1111 you are talking about.

Is it normal to go hours without a single 0.1 skill up on Synergy at level 70? Trying to skill on Fisherman's stall.

I don't think so. Are you spamming the element of the synth? In your case, it should be water.

[Draylo]

No, Earth Won't water complete it though?

[shaggnix]

KSNM Eye of the Storm - can i 2box this? either thf or drg and rdm. does sleep stick without ES on these since the fight is uncapped now? only ever done it blm burn style back at 75 and there isn't any post lv increase info on teh wikis. idk if drg/blu would get high enough def to supertank them?

[Nightfyre]

No, Earth Won't water complete it though?

Not if you let the crucible's HP deplete. It only attempts to complete the synth if you actually hit end synergy.

[KCem]

What is the general % increase in overall damage going from an 85 to 90 1h emp ? Mule has a couple I can't really be bothered to do (namely I can't be bothered with the hassle of Apademak), but I will if it's worthwhile.

[Churchill]

Generally you can just divide the 90D by the 85D, though not completely accurate.

[KCem]

Cool, that's about as accurate as my needs require. Cheers.

[sfchakan]

What do you mean by clipper into the wall? Not really familiar with that.


I've been trying that, still getting links while fighting them from mobs on ground

Alright guy, simple fact is you're doing it wrong. You're going to get the occasional 1-2 mob link because you can't wait all day for it's buddies to turn, but you can completely avoid links from the bottom levels by sticking to the walls. Don't fight the mobs at the edge of the walkways/AH level. At worst, make sure you have plenty of RR and kill the statue before the other mobs kill you. Find a safe place to die then move onto the next one. Luckily with NIN, you can use your 2 hour to save time once if it comes to this.

Good (and/or cheap) attack food is a good idea. I like bison/wild/dhamel steaks. They won't break the bank and last 3 hours if you don't die.

That sounds like you have some of the new gear equipped, the decennial_____ (likely ring, if in dynamis).

Replace Windower/plugins/resources/items_armor.xml with the items_armor.xml from the resources link in my signature to fix that error.

[Kegsay]

Player A and B are bards in the same party.
Player A casts Minuet 2.
Player B casts Minuet 2 afterwards -> does this have no effect? Overwrite if stronger? Overwrite regardless?

[Guitarman]

2x minuet^

was the restrictions for outlands dynamis lifted when it was redone? or do you still need (xarc?) clear?

Surely that's bollocks otherwise people could stack unlimited amount of a single type of song e.g.
Effect List:
BRD A = Valor Minuet 4
BRD A = Valor Minuet 3
BRD B = Valor Minuet 4
BRD B = Valor Minuet 3
