Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

[cdgreg]

So I started annihilator, traded the x3 100 Currency/items only, picked up weapon and changed my mind on what relic I wanted to do first. Now I go and try to try to trade him the relic axe and he says Oh ya, one more thing...bring me a arquebuses, hellfire, marksman gun, etc." and won't take the relic axe. Is there anyway to end the relic questline on the gun and start axe?

can you proc the attest mobs in beau? I dont think there is any way my alt can kill the whm/brd/blm between benedictions if you cant lock two hour and its tough getting people to go to dyna beau when its terrible for coins/gear/etc.

I can't imagine any reason why you can't proc them, but a lot of NMs can 2HR even if you proc them so I'm not sure how much that would help you.

[Romyro]

i've fought a bunch of them numerous times for attests as well as trials (axe/dagger/G.Axe ones) and never been able to proc.
not sure if it's possible to proc those.

Video of a SCH solo, albeit on the test server. Not exactly an easy solo but you get the idea. With 4 people it should be a lot faster and easier.

Why does it matter if its on the test server or not? Where is it said that mobs are weaker (outside of unfinished content) on the test server?

What would be a good macro for a mule to approach and engage a mob my main is fighting?

/assist
/attack
/follow
/wait 5
/follow

Trying to aviod my mule running off after each kill

- Download Autoexec Plugin (http://forums.windower.net/files/file/9-autoexec/)
- Open your init.txt
- Add the following
alias ft input /target theous;input /follow theous;
autoexec register chat_party_theous_ft ft
This registers when Theous says "ft" in Party Chat, it will execute the command/alias "ft". "ft" is defined on the alias line.

Theous = your name

I recently got back and i'm going to start farming dyna as BST/DNC, i remember there was a order in which you do the JA to proc. Does anyone have a good order? Also where can download a good map pack to have all my maps labeled?

I have a lot of jobs, so I'm wondering if I should drop Exenterator despite playing THF a ton. Currently have a Twash, but I plan on getting a Mandau eventually, and as far as I can tell if you 99 the Mandau even an unstacked Mercy Stroke can get really close to a Exent because of the WSD+?

I actually was considering doing the same thing since I am in the same boat as you. I realized however, that on the jobs I play the most, the only WS I was really missing to warrant dropping was Ruinator for BST. However, in my experience (and I am always open to suggestion as well) I find that on most things I use BST for, I hardly melee and I prefer farming Dynamis on THF so keeping Exenterator made since. My other 2 are Shoha 5/5 and Resolution 5/5.

Autofollowing mule:

/follow mainchar
load blinkmenot, ensure main/mule don't blink (alwayson self, alwayson others)
bind <somekey> input /assist MainChar; wait 1.3; input /attack <t>;

Mule will swap from following you to following the assist target when you press <somekey>, then engage. Downside, on small mobs they can push it and cause the mob to move around, if so use:

bind <somekey> input /assist MainChar; wait 1.3; input /attack <t>; wait 1.3; setkey numpad_2 down; wait 0.5; setkey numpad_2 up;

This will make them do a little stutterstep backwards after they engage, but breaks autorunning. Mule won't run off, but stands still, so make another key to /follow MainChar.

Scroll to bottom of each dynamis, click on map for TE's and NM's.

Wow that's a great tip. Possible to just do with /send?

What I have been thing is of using the alt line macros just for my main and then the control line of macros to control my mules using. /console send.

I just downloaded xi-util for the send feature. Basically read byrths guide on bg wiki. I am having a real hard time figuring out how to use the scripts he mentioned. Hell not even sure where to save them or if there is a specific format.

Really appreciate any tips on best way to control my mules. As I run with three I am thinking of even just staying on my mule brd to pull while controling my main and alt through /send.

you solo farm as thF?

[Radec]

While I don't use send, I'm sure it's as easy as changing the bind to an alias, and then using send to trigger the alias.

Also remember you can bind keys beyond the default ingame macros - adding to a script file

bind @1 send brdchar castballad (again, I don't use send, so this probably isn't correct exactly as written)

binds windowskey+1 to making brd cast ballad. You can bind any key combos using ctrl (^) alt (!) windowskey (@) or AppKey/Menukey (#, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key bottom right between winkey and ctrl) in this way -

bind ^@1 send brdchar ballad - would be ctrl+winkey+1
bind #@a send brdchar march - would be app+win+a

Yes

[Celebrindor]

no more talking of torques. SE can eat a gonhorreac dick until they introduce a CC torque.

Is there anyway to copy my macros from my main to a mule?
