is there any good/fast way to farm the 100 devious die / 100 liminal residue for the walk of echo weaponskill quest?
I tried to do WoE #5 with my gimp i117 spark gear but either im doing something wrong or my gear is too gimp because the dragons did 300-400+ dmg per hit 1-2k dmg breath, dispel and paralyze spam and i didn't even get to the boss because the dragons linked like crazy and killed me (I had 5 npc also) And when i enter WoE there is a message that this is level 119 content, was WoE updatet or something? i thought WoE was level 75/99 content?

[Khajit]

There's a campaign going on where all Woe Walks are HQ (aka 119) content. There should occasionally be people going in you can leech with still. At minimum prices should be alot cheaper atm so you could just buy from Bazaar

[avelle]

That explains why my ass got kicked last night when I tried WoE last night to farm coins to unlock the Empyrean WS stuff. I thought it was odd that it said it was 119 content.

Using "GM Mode" is a good way to get banned

I've been using GM flag since abyssea era (most of my friends as well), no bans. Same with ja0wait.

[Byrthnoth]

I made my peace with getting banned for JA0 a long time ago. If it happens, I have no regrets.

GM mode is similarly unlikely to get you banned unless you openly announce you're using it to people who care and they happen to immediately get a GM.


Running faster than you should will get you banned. Farming anything for too long will get you banned. Fishing for too long will get you banned.

Farming anything for too long will get you banned. Fishing for too long will get you banned.

I wanted to emphasize the fact that this can happen regardless of whether you're cheating or not.

Depends on how fast you are going I think. I stopped using movespeed after the banwaves started, but some of the people I play with never stopped using +25% or whatever and they are still around.

[evilpaul]

Best spot to level from 96 to 99?

And other than teleport/teleport ring is Survival Guide warping the fastest way to Reiseijima?

[Gokulo]

Anywhere outside adoulin I guess.

Use HP warp to Ru'Hmet Gardens, take the elevator down to Celestial Nexus entrance area. Use the warp to Reisenjima Sanctum.

[avelle]

How much accuracy do you need to hit this crazy shit in Reisenjima? Trying to do one of the Rhapsody missions and this stuff is all high eva / high defense. Went and got an accuracy vorseal and some sushi and that doesn't seem to be enough. Do you need multiple vorseals before you can do anything here?

edit: Managed to beat it with a friend but would still like to know what is necessary to hit stuff here.

[Fwahm]

I think 1100 or so is enough for every non-NM but the ladybugs.

[avelle]

Apparently /checkparam is a thing and it is amazing. Sitting at 909 unbuffed accuracy for mainhand/offhand. Sushi isn't enough to overcome that gap. Likely need some 119 gear + vorseals to get to a place where it's not so hard to hit stuff there.

[arus2001]

I had issues on some mobs floating around 1000, myself. Pretty much why I say Sparks gear isn't enough since I was using better than that.

[Despain]

Can you use Trust in Abyssea now?

[Charismatic]

Yes, you most assuredly can

[Suteru]

Use HP warp to Ru'Hmet Gardens, take the elevator down to [s]Celestial Nexus[/s] entrance area. Use the warp to Reisenjima Sanctum.

You mean Empyreal Paradox.

Any word on server merges yet?

[Seekerstar]

I'm not a returnee but I have a question anyway: is there a way to shut off geobubble animations? With parties using 2+ GEO the lag is amazing...

Also, Delerium, your profile says you're on Bahamut. /poke me in game if you would like assistance on anything, as I approve of a SMN army overtaking everything ever.

[JeanPaul]

Using effect filters for party members > party members would turn them off unless they entrust onto you. Had VRS (the most effective modding program) been still functional, I would have modified the bubbles to be much simpler animations or try removing them altogether. At the very least, I know I could render them entirely invisible, but I don't know if that'll help with the framerate or not.

[Seekerstar]

I'll try that, hoping it won't screw anything else vital up in the process.

Thank you, sir, you're always a big help. :D
