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

[dasva]

Wouldnt that be way slower? Gotta run around and wait on repops and shit, instead of just killing pixies in an easy zone.

For 1 person sure maybe. But he is trying to get it done on 2 characters... and 1 character soloing there can kill a good 100 or more an hour. I mean if your problem is you are waiting on repops... you are killing pretty damn fast since there are 3-4 within pretty close reach of each other (and by close I mean close enough where you can park someone in the middle and afk for credit) and respawn on them is what 2-3 min I think?

I know last time I did it for my mule took 2-3 runs to do 1 trial and I ran into some aggro problems since I wasn't paying attention

And well when I tried la thien no one was there

[grevenilvec75]

There is almost always a group there on lightsday anyway, just join up with them and get credit.

If you have to dual box it, take melee + mage.

Crucial pieces of gear for all classes except DRG, BLU, SCH, RDM, and MNK? This includes AF/+1, Relic/+2, and Empyrean+2. I'm currently looking to see which pieces I can afford to keep while maintaining a good inventory. I have full Nyzul Isle sets, so I can use those as they apply.

[noodles355]

So the answer is: Go to la thiene on sch+whm and see if anyone'll team up, and failing that go do yag pets in esaru S? Ok, cheers.

[Churchill]

Option 5: Get a party together and cleave pixies in Grauberg, finish both trials for both characters in 1 lightsday.

Is there information regarding geodes? Wanting to know it's drop system in particular, how it relates to Ites dropping. Shit feels like the beastmen seals where you can only get one every five minutes or so.

Been wanting to farm some flame geodes in my spare time since they're 60k+ on Asura AH right now, and I'm not that desperate to finish my STR Sword trial completely. I'm not sure if there's a particular level range I should aim for to prevent Ites from dropping instead, or whether day or weather has priority on the kind that drops.

Is the stage three currency used to upgrade Yoichinoyumi actually M. Silverpieces? It's listed that way on both wikis - I just find it strange that it would be the only Relic to not utilize all three types of currency. I'm assuming it's most likely right and more wondering, "Is there any reason for this?"

[Jem]

It's correct. And no idea on reason.

Will a file check get me the latest version update ? I haven't logged in for a few weeks and I'm not updating my Crysta supply until later in the week when my exams are done.

[SargentRemora]

Has the wait between upgrading AF/AF2 through Sagheera been reduced yet?

[Neisan]

Last I checked no

There was some discussion in the BLU thread showing that with TH, it's possible to get more than one per five minutes per party, but that it's rare. The best results I've had for avoiding -ites has been to watch for weather using http://ff11info.com/bazaar/en/weather.php and avoiding Abyssea when possible, since especially when in Heroes/Scars zones, the first round of the mob leveling up will often set mob level to -ites.

Augmentiing Shura head+1 for VS, and I currently have WSD3 ATT4 CTP6, and I just got STR4 DEX3 WSD2. WSD one still better? Thanks in advance.

[Neisan]

Shura+1 WSD augment is almost certainly first hit only, would go with second.

If more ACC is needed

Restraint down swap to Phorcys hands or Avant+1 depending on ACC needs.

If it doesn't, then go into Program Files-> PlayOnline -> SE -> FFXI and then into one of the roms, a numbered folder and delete a random .dat. File check from there will get you the latest update. It's the trick people use to get the update early.

Question regarding blu TH. What is the max available to a blu? Does JT trait stack (I'm assuming it's just TH1) with Tarutaru sash augment for TH2? Sj THF and sash for th3 is max?

[Neisan]

max is TH3 /thf + sash, Th2 without /thf barring Moogle/Dread bonus. And yes Trait is Th1.
