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

[Taint]

So I tried doing solo dyna-bastok for bynes and promptly linked the first group of quadav and ate it. What would be a good strat in that zone or another on mnk/dnc with an evasion setup? And if I can't solo, duo/trio recommendations?

The TEs can be a pain solo since the links generally are BLM mobs.

A good camp is by the zone boss pop near gusta zone, easy pulls and kills.

[Kaisha]

Or leech them in the Oubilette if you have a DD on the cure-box account.

That's something I really need to get around to one of these days.....after finishing SCH and BLM subs. >.>

I'm so god damn lazy when it comes to getting stuff done proper for the 2box. Anyhow, got lucky and took the 18th slot for a Gusgen group, so hanging out here for now, will give Delkfutt a try later if this breaks early.

How can people keep recommending this site?

Because it is slightly less shitty than the alternatives.

How can people keep recommending this site? You can't see the stats on any of the items it picks, only the summary of total stats - and then no quick links into cost/where to get them, etc.

Here's how to do those things: Select your job and your race (both required), then select "Single Stat" in the Stat table. Scroll through the menu until you find what you want. If you're looking for something like PDT or MDT, make sure you select "Negative" to the right of the scroll menu, or it's going to tell you to equip onyx armor. Select your level and click "Pimp me Out!"
You recieve a new page with a table of gear arranged like it would be in the equipment menu, and a summary list of all the stats from the displayed armor. If you want to see the stats on a single piece of armor, click on its cell in the table (click on the icon). A list of armor/weapon pieces will appear below the left side of the table. If you hold the mouse above the name of the armor you wanted to see, a small yellow window will appear containing the icon of the armor, a full description of its stats, and links to ffxiah and ffxiclopedia. If, for whatever reason, you think a different piece of armor in the list is better, click on it and it will appear in the table in place of the former piece and the summary list will automatically update. You can also choose to display more options (10 by default) or to clear the spot if it's not relevant to your set.
It's generally best used for the "Single Stat" option. If it tells you to equip a shield and a staff, just look through the options for each slot and figure out if it would be better to have the staff equipped with a grip or the shield with a one-handed weapon.
I don't think you can search for multiple stats in a single search (ex. you can't search for PDT and DT) so you'll have to go through and do a few searches any time you're building a set.

I wouldn't have replied, but I think you're wasting your time going through ffxiah searches when this is much more efficient.

There is a way to search multiple stats but I'd still recommend siingle stat searches. Basically you have to keep the all around button selected then declick the boxes below of the stats your not looking for. The problem with this is having to declick tons of crap just to search 2 stats and occasionally that menu wont have the stat you looking for while the single stat dropbox has them all. Also I beleive it doesn't really have a way to weight different stats so tends to give you whatever the highest amounts which might leave out options with lower amounts of more potent stats.

Oh and another gripe looking at it on phone blows lol

[TSFFXI]

That's true. It occasionally crashes my ipod touch.

Which windower pluggin make the apps looks for utsusemi in you Mog Sack?

[Priran]

Itemizer is the plugin that moves items between your sack/satchel/inventory, Find is the plugin that will locate items and keep track of them.

Question: Is it possible to get more than 4500 AN per Allied Tags or is that the absolute cap?

[Gippo]

4500 is hard cap and you will only get that if turn in tags after 15 mins, i normally fight for 10 afk trade tags at 15min mark

Do a CoP dyna, sell the bronzes and shells to buy bills. Bastok has too many JA proc mobs mixed in with other crap.

Valkurm/Buburimu have a few different rotations you can do, iirc. Funguar Hippogryph, Gobbue is one in Valk. Can't remember any of the other ones right now. But you'll net a fair amount more than going into a city simply because you can consistantly proc.

How does weakness targeting work with goblins in cop dynamis since they drop all three types?

[Priran]

by job

How does weakness targeting work with goblins in cop dynamis since they drop all three types?

Beastmen are based on job type, regardless of zone. Fighting beastmen in a CoP dyna means the same rules apply as if though they were from a city/icelands dyna.

How do people afk skill up things like Enhancing and Healing, do they use a spellcast or a windower script? If so does anyone have said script or whatever, or could tell me how to make one?

[Byrthnoth]

alias thirty barfira;wait 5;barwatera;wait 5;barthundra;wait 5;baraera;wait 5;barstonra;wait 5;barblizzara;wait 5
alias three thirty;thirty;thirty;thirty;thirty;thirty;
alias fifteen three;three;three;three;three;
alias hour fifteen;fifteen;fifteen;fifteen;

save that in a .txt file in your scripts folder, then do //exec "whatever you named it.txt" in game. Then use //hour (or //hour;hour; if you want to do 2 hours, etc.) to start it and "//alias thirty ;" to stop it.

[Yugl]

Can use either, but spellcast is superior imo.
Healing:
<if spell="Cure">
<command when="aftercast">wait 5;input /magic "Cure" &lt;me&gt;</command>
</if>
Enhancing:
<if spell="Protect">
<command when="aftercast">wait 5;input /magic "Protect" &lt;me&gt;</command>
</if>

Frogs, puks.

[TheDangerousDave]

Have to level up Marks from 290 to 357 to unlock Last Stand, where would be the best place to do this? Anything that won't fight back? Have NIN 99 so might be easier to do it on that solo?

Also: SAM or DRK for NNI? Assume no legendary weapons (emp 85/90 at best if it changes anything) but Shoha and Reso available.
