Random Question Thread XXVII: Okay this roman numerals bullshit is getting ridiculous

[zoopooscooper]

I just transferred servers and now my game keeps crashing every third or so time i zone. Normally after changing jobs, whenever i go back to mog house, crash. Warp back to jeuno, crash. Anything i might be able to try to get this crap to stop? It's super annoying

[Byrthnoth]

I like to farm crafting supplies...so are you saying it won't track drop rate of normal items off normal mobs?

edit: Oh, I think I understand. You mean like Tiamat, which has to die from DoT, not regular damage.

Monsters that "fall to the ground" will not be picked up. In order to contribute to ffxidb you need Guildwork to be loaded when you kill monsters. I just auto-load it now.




PS. Why are Earth Crystals suddenly expensive?

[Taim Meich]

Does that GW plugin track what TH level the mob had on when it died?

[Taint]

Are there any must have pieces of af2+2 for Samurai?

Hands are a must have.

Feet augmented for 2hr.

[grevenilvec75]

Is it this?

It has worked fine for months, now all of a sudden it has crashed twice in two days.

Maybe its just unluck.


New question:

How the fuck do i change my POL mail password? is in that SE account bullshit? been looking for 10 minutes can't find it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm taking up Sam currently and while trying to sift through the clusterfuck that is ffxiah.com's Sam section on how to gear properly is rough. I've only progressed to sandy and windy clears for VW and do not have a group nor can find anyone on Shiva that sells NNI gear. I don't even carry a LS anymore. Getting high end gear is a challenge at the moment.

It does, but ffxidb doesn't display it yet. Also it's not entirely reliable (doesn't account for TH gear, assumes BST is TH1, assumes BLU is TH0, registers "unknown" if someone in your party is anon, etc.)

Still, I'm supposed to be working on that now. I need to figure out how to access the dev servers again.

Zykei and Shwtym were selling NNI wins on Shiva. They still advertise that they sell them on FFXIAH.com, too.

I contacted both 2-3 weeks ago. They said they'd be in touch but never truly responded. It's not a huge priority to me, but it would be nice to have the option.

Incomplete or not, it's much better than the alternative, i.e., people listing droprates on ffxiclopedia without taking care to account for TH, or not listing the times they didn't get a drop, or just increasing the counter of the item dropped, etc.

[Khajit]

What are the proper atmacites for wildfire? I dont recall them offhand.

[NynJa]

smoldering sky, griffon claw, lone wolf

Because people were previously looking on ffxiclopedia droprates ? The only droprates that matter currently are VW stuff, and I doubt they even list it. Other than that the only point of this massive data collection would be to finally answer what TH does..

You're confusing abyssea and voidwatch.

Slayer, Coercion and Shrewd

Assailment looks like it would put out higher WF's, but I dont know how much that Addle+15 comes into play.

[CoreyX]

I'd say Destruction is better than Shrewd, because the -damage and -enmity doesn't really matter and your magic accuracy should be fine, so you'd get 15 MAB compared to Shrewd's 10. But replacing Shrewd for Assailment probably isn't a good idea, since you'd be losing 15 MACC and addle+15% which is probably MACC-15 or -15% making it 30+ less than shrewd, so not a good trade off (It's also a lot cheaper to max out Destruction to 15 than Shrewd to 15)

[dasva]

I haven't used assailment yet but others I've talked to say it works good. Makes sense considering the high macc of most elemental ws... especially with all the stat stacking which is probably adding to said macc and ascetics... but is it worth putting cruor in when it wont be good for anything else...?

[fantasticdan]

I've seen a moderate WF resist rate on rex from pug cors. Idk if they're doing something wrong but yeah.

[NynJa]

Macc is tied to marks skill, burned to 99, never skilled up.
