Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[JustaWAR]

Start with pearl.
-Get -pet phy axes.
-Magic def axes(not really needed just saves money lol)
-Add on helm with -10% if not used for something else already.
-Af3 pants
-relic hands/feet+2 not need but very nice upgrades.
-reward gear set for outside aby. Some might fight with me on this but I weaken my reward set in the aby. I get my zeta down to about 1600, anything higher I feel is a waste with DG up and really can be downright a danger as it takes you pet out of DG. Giving some nm the power to one shot my pet. I learned this on a glvoid pop. My reward was taking my pet from 20%to 80.+ he poped Disgorge and raped my pet. next weakened my reward and it stayed in -85% dmg at all times

Then take it from there. Lots of dd gear you have on other jobs might help. Epons ring and rajas comes to mind.

But ya once you have the items above its just upgrades from there to kill faster. As much as I take pride in my gear sets(can't fit everything in my inventory) most is just extra to speed things up.

Thanks! really helpful

Why didn't you just use a weaker petfood for a lower reward? Seems like it would have been simpler.

[SephYuyX]

And cheaper.

I'm a huge fan of pet food zeta, save thetas for emergencies

best bang for buck. the next pet food I cant push to the 1600 mark. and is not that much less. Its 11k vs 14k thus I gget the most hp/gil off zeta.
it just seems to fit my gear perfect. it brings my pet from 20~25% hp to under the 80% mark. Id rather not change my gear set up to make the lesser food as good.

I really can not think of the last time I used anything over zeta. zeta is like the perfect pet food lol.

I think he was referring too why not just use your good set with weaker food in abyssea vs remaking your whole set for a weaker reward since you are trying to keep it under 50%

OK, I am getting highly pissed off atm. Last night before I went to sleep I ran around trying to get a T2 pop in aby, after 20+ kills I gave up and went to sleep. This morning I messed around again trying to get a T2. At this point I was pushing 40 T1 kills with no change. So now I am back at it and am at the 10 kill mark. So very close to 50 kills now with no change, which I have never approached before. Anyone had an experience like this before? Before anyone even asks, Only KI I have is a clear abyssite and a single T3 pop, no Colorful.

I took over 100 kills to convert T1 once. In abyssea

lol i made a post and its missing! my set will not make weaker pet food get my pet to more then 50% hp. DG kicks in higher then that on pets thus id rather have something to bring it closer to 69% no other pet food does this even with my best set.

lol i made a post and its missing! my set will not make weaker pet food get my pet to more then 50% hp. DG kicks in higher then that on pets thus id rather have something to bring it closer to 70/80% no other pet food does this even with my best set.

Only by a little on it's own. Like I just did it and it kicked in at 54%. But iirc it does weird stuff when you have hp atmas though

[dejet]

I messed up it kicks in at 69%. my pet sits at 69% all the time.

I run RR/MC/DG on most strong mobs. i sometimes drop MC

What's the best way to find fire weather when none of the forecasts show it being up ever? Just wait till summer ig lol? Not counting just camping zones and hoping for the best

I've recently emigrated from the UK to USA. My account is an EU account. The SquareEnix account system is refusing to let me pay with UltimatePay or ClickandBuy presumably because I am now on an American IP. It just insta-rejects my Paypal account despite it being the exact same Paypal account I have used to pay ever since they changed the payment system. Clickandbuy is a similar story, it just says not accepted for your country of origin.

Literally the only difference is that I am now on an American IP address instead of an English one. None of my payment details have changed nor anything related ot my SE account.

Has anybody else had this issue before or know a workaround because as it stands I can't pay for my account at all.

EDIT: Also rejecting American credit cards too.

Go buy a pre-paid card at a supermarket or drug store (like Rite-Aid) and use that to pay. I used GamerPoints or whatever.

Just went and bought one from the 7-Eleven at the end of the road and it still got rejected. Guessing built up too many fraud points or something?

Also assuming this would have worked if it hadn't denied all my other payments, is it a permanent thing or is there a way to get SE to stop being dicks about taking my money?

[Byrthnoth]

They start taking your money again after a while. Maybe wait a day or two?

[Jem]

Hmm, direct payment worked rather than trying to use Crysta. This is going to be inconvenient but I guess it's a workaround for now.

Hopefully it will let me use the card thingy on my wifes account or my mule or something. Or maybe myself after the fraud thing wears off. (EDIT: Worked straightaway on a mule account -_-; )

Thanks for the help.

It's a stupid pieces of shit system that can eat a bag of dicks. I want to kill the fucking retards who thought it would be a good idea. I even emailed tech support to say "stop it. it's me. let me pay" essentially and got absolutely no where.

It's because you're using an english bank card. Just use your american one (I'm assuming you're getting one soon?). I'm now auto-renewing with my australian card.

best place to farm seasoning stones? as a 95bst/dnc ?

The deeper level of Dangruf wadi has higher level mobs that drop it. I got mines from Fei'yin from the bats/ghosts near the BC entrance.
