FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

[Churchill]

ugh, game already starting to anger me again with menu/command/everything lag

No questions because I am so confused half the time, just complaints!

[Spider-Dan]

Right now, my GC rank is Private First Class. Besides better seal-purchasable items, what's the reason to rank up? I vaguely recall hearing that it's somehow tied to AF weapon.

And what's the best solo solution for seals? Is Hamlet defense any good for that? I heard Toto-Rak was nerfed for duoing seals... is it still the best option for a party of two?

[Raldo]

Aside from purchasable items, the only reason to rank up is to gain access to more GC quests. For instance, the latest one they added in 1.22c requires you to be at the maximum rank.

Hamlet defense does not grant any seals. I still like Toto-Rak for seals.

Anyone know how I can extract all the ability/trait icons from the dat files? I'm in the process of updating all the content on my website http://www.ffxivinfo.com and it would be nice to have the icons next to the abilities. I could screenshot the game and crop them out there but it seems like a pain to me.

[Raldo]

I dunno how against stealing other peoples' work you are, but Mooglebox has all the icons.

Caravan is probably the best for most people but requires a full group (idk what rank Don't Hate the Messenger requires but it lets you do all caravans not just your company's).

High level GC leves are decent, but much better if you accept/cancel them and only do the /poke ones (requires a lot of leves to burn).

Toto-rak is "meh" with the timer lockout but it's the simplest and easiest, just need a duo partner.

Roughly how much ACC is needed to cap on Ifrit? Also is there a listing with enemy stats like acc/eva etc? Thanks.

Turns out the dat miner I downloaded ages ago can get them all rather easily. There's lots of fun stuff in this. Seems making an item database is rather easy too. This is shit I should have done years ago instead of letting other sites keep ahead of the game. Problem is I was too busy playing it.

Point allotment:

BLM: INT/MND
WHM: MND/VIT

Doing it right?

[Niiro]

WHM might as well be INT/MND as well.

Regen is capped naked and the gains to SS/Protect are minute (see: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nhancing-Magic).

[Diddy Kong]

Alright. Just started level and noticed VIT helped enhancing, and PIE seems to be more of a boost to secondary effects like bind for brd than does for anything else.

[Ratatapa]

i did MND/vit for WHM

[shepardG]

Where do the class specific weapons come from? The ones that require a double meld for the relic quest? Drops from instanced dungeons?

crafted

What? Regen is not capped naked, lol. A naked WHM should have roughly 400 Enhancing after point allotment in MND/VIT. That's 173/139HP/tic (shoes/noshoes). You need 438 Enhancing to hit Regen cap w/ shoes.

Did you confuse the VIT & Enhancing Magic columns? At 400 VIT you will have capped Regen, yes, but again after dumping points into VIT I have barely over 200 naked.



Unrelated; outside of Darklight wtf do Dragoons wear on their head?

Ah, yes I did.

How come they made anima completely worthless? I did 4 hamlet defence yesterday and I was rewarded with 100 anima for each win. I can understand an anima reward, but surely a much smaller number would have been fine.

Is this a sign that they will be removing it in V2?

Jesus christ

[Enygma55]

You only get rewarded 100 anima if you can make 50k+ per run. Anything under that gives like 30 anima or less (only lv 2, as lv 1 grants 10 anima at most) If you got a good static you can hit that mark easy but for the general public, probably not so easy.

Its very good incentive to do Hamlet every once and a while as it pretty much gives you freedom to spam anima.
