Random Question Thread: Fuck it.

Trying to synth the Orchestrion.. but all the furnaces have capped feywell.. how am I suppose to synth it :E?

Um what do furnaces having capped fewell have to do with synthing it? I'd suggest reading up on synergy a little I think you are confused on how it works I'm just not sure what you think is going on lol

[SephYuyX]

Uh yeah, disregard that. Thought it was a synergy synth, but the mats obtained by the quest re just a normal synth.

Anyone know the trick to figuring out the Windhurst game of pick the job. Trying for the last peice to the Orchestrion. Shit is frustrating me to no end.

[Kincard]

My own strategy was this:

Set them all on the same job.

WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR

Then the game will tell you if you had x number of hits, that means that many people will stay WAR. Let's say got 2 crits.

So I put

WAR WAR MNK MNK MNK

I get 3 Norm hits. That means I removed two of the correct position WARs by mistake, and one of those MNKs should be in one of the WAR slots.

Next Try:

MNK WHM WAR WAR WHM

If on this try, I get one crit and 2 norms, that means the MNK can only be for the second slot, and one of the two WARs is in the wrong position. I simply need to shift a single WAR next round to find out which one.
If I got two crits and one norm, the only possibility is that I got 2 WARs correct, or 1 MNK and 1 WAR correct. Either way, the answer this question will become apparent if I just shift one of the WAR's positions to the final slot.
If I get more than 3 total hits crit or not, that means one of the WHMs is a correct answer and I just need to swap one of the WHMs out for a different job next round, and just shift the rest around logically to narrow down the possibilities.

It's a logic game. Just get a piece of paper and think about it. You need a little bit of luck too, possibly, but it shouldn't take TOO many tries.

What's the best way to view mob ID while in game? Apradar requires money and that guy's programs never get updated anyways. I'm trying to camp trial NMs but I don't want to unlock BST or RNG.

The version of apradar I used was free and would tell you the ID whenever the mob was targeted.

I know lolspirits but has anyone really tested their recast time recently and for that matter Summoner's Spats+2? I mean going by wiki formula should be possible to get them almost to 0 recast time. And iirc correctly if you Assault midcast the cast timer will start then instead of when it finishes casting

Anyone know of a torrent for a full JP install of xi?

Pay version also auto-updates itself now.

can you learn Tourbillion from Khimaira 13 (TAU Mission Shield of Diplomacy) fight? I've killed it quite a few times now with it using the ability. And nothing. I realize this is somewhat normal. It's just annoying to keep redoing the fight and i'm starting to question if i can even learn it at all from it.

[Necromage]

A few months ago I deleted everything FFXI off my computer, and I just reinstalled it to play again.

The only thing is, I reinstalled the whole thing from the amazon download (had every expansion including abyssea/ACP/MKDT/etc), but they show that they are not downloaded on the home screen. Where would I download these from? They're all registered on my account.

What's the ideal TP + Ukkos set for WAR to aim for?

[Counterfeit]

Wiki says that a party of summoners can kill arch-ultima. What would be a low man set up for arch-omega?

[Byrthnoth]

A party of summoners works there too. If they have skill, they can land Chaos Strike/Shock Squall. You can open with Zantetsuken if you don't feel like dealing with his initial mode.

BRD COR
WHM [WHM | SCH | RDM]
2x DD that can deal magic and phys, ie sam w/ uptala gkat, twilightscythe drk, formless mnk

Do your magicdmg thing until it stands then swap back to normal.

or yeah, SMN, but can get caught with aoe running in to pact.

[Darkmagi]

Koga sam was still landing 1k~ shohas fwiw, so I wouldn't say that magic damage is completely required.

[Mercilessturtle]

All you need is 2 DDs and 2 healers if the DDs can do magic damage. Add a brd to speed it up, and/or a blm or sch if your DDs can't do magic damage.

[Xerlic]

Best stat merits for Kannagi NIN?

[Darkmagi]

STR/DEX is pretty much the standard for melee unless you're a hardcore rng/cor(or drk only I guess).
