Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Well Arma's trial is probably easier than acquiring coins at this point lol.

[dasva]

Yeah I did it when you could get coins off of mobs and there were always people there spamming it... mostly now it's if you really can't dual box or find a second person. Could still solo arma but god would it be annoyingly long

Really depends on your server. On a lot of them WoE runs arn't *that* rare, and it'd be far less tedious to just hop into WoE runs with a pickup and get some coins than solo Carabosse and Bongo Fish 30 times each.

If you're going to go through the troubles of doing all the annoying trials, you may as well make the superior weapon. Cara/CC are a complete joke.

I'm looking for optimized gear sets for DRG. On the off-chance main weapon matters, I have a Gungnir with no intention of going for Ryunohige at this time.

PDT sets, Breath sets, TP, WS (Stardiver primarily now I believe?), etc.

I'm looking for the best of the best so I know exactly what I should aim for. If Neo-Nyzul floor 100 gear is the best, I'd like to know the best alternative as sadly I'm not seeing myself reach floor 80 - 100 any time soon.

I'm also interested in what macros people have for changing between sets, like the timing for maximizing breaths and such.

Thank you in advance.

I leveled a job from 90-95 doing WoE, and I believe I did mostly 7 (the dragon one?). It took around 25-35 fights, at the end of which I didn't quite have enough coins for any single weapon, but I had nearly all of the coins required for at least three weapons. I did that back when you could only go once an hour, so I'm not sure how long it would take now. Still, I'm not sure I would try it over the main path due to the randomness of coins; I'd originally planned to upgrade the hand-to-hand weapon if I got enough coins, but I ended up with less than 10. Kincard made a good point earlier, though. The 95 and 99 trials are way cheaper.

this post makes no sense anymore!

Good job using the random question thread - many new posters get that wrong. I would recommend the "What's better?" thread for specific gear questions.

Also, you may want to consider sending Warden a PM, he just finished his 99 mythic DRG weapon (http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/725...=1#post5488339) and may be able to share some gear sets or spellcast info with you.

Does the Melee Cyclas +2 Formless Strikes Augment work on activation, or do you have to keep it on?

[NynJa]

I did a short test (disputable though since i was all eyeballed) and it seems to be a macro piece, but ive got nothing definitive, the 10 min recast and rarity in blunt-resistant low lvl mobs makes it more annoying to test.

since the olde rarab tail apparantly is a 2 min terror and removes the dmg cap on the lvl 95 limt break fight, how easy is the fight now?

Random mismash of melees and mages can pretty much just melee it to death way before 1 wears off

Is there a program I can download so I can use a game pad for ffxi and for another game in the background w/o it interfering with each other? Thanks!

[NynJa]

If you load up a second instance of ffxi, the gamepad wont work unless ffxi is in focus. I dunno if that helps short term, since your other game might use gamepad if its in focus or not.

Erm, making a static for neo-limbo and was wondering if the KIs from Appollyon II were lost for all members entering Neo-Omega fight or just lost by the person taking party into zone.

[Falkirk]

Only the person buying the Neo-Omega entry chip will lose their KI.

Neat-o

Lost my security token. Has anyone had to fight SE to get a replacement and how bad is that fight?

It's very simple. You go to the support page, put in a ticket, then you call them. They unlink the token, you order a new token from the SE account page. I've done it twice, entire process takes 20 min assuming not a long wait on the phone.

What's the most effective method for testing Double Attack values? Could you use the ~100% Crit test method, cept with DA rather than crit? Assuming I can get that much DA on DRG anyway.
