Does anyone have any before and after estimations on Odin v2 hp?

Are the attack/defense nerfs significant, do they also affect the adds (which always seemed far more dangerous anyway).

We;ve only fought him twice since the changes, but the fight is more or less the same. DDs had a little more trouble with adds without perma embrava. We brought a 2nd ochain PLD to tank an extra add, but if your DD have good -DT sets it shouldnt be too difficult.

For shits and giggles, my wife merited them all and went into lolaby and was wheeling 1k+ each spell. Sorry for no screens; though it probably doesn't matter.

Yeah I think I remember someone getting like 4k magic bursted ones in abyssea fully merited a long time ago. But that was at lower caps and without af2+2 head augment. I'd imagine you could get it quite high now

Can lv 88 mobs take you to skill cap? I forgot how they adjusted it when EM was no longer a requirement to cap

Probably not but close I'd say. Fortalices which are lvl 75 can take you to lvl 83 caps. I beleive that is the cut off for DC so at a guess I'd imagine the highest you could probably get is 96-97 with lvl 88

Edit: Altepa it is

[grevenilvec75]

I give up. Can someone tell me what i have to do to get binder to work? the plugin loads and reads the keyboard, but i dont know what file it reads from or anything. I used to just use xi-util but the bind feature in that is broken now.

Binder just creates a bunch of aliases; you just set the aliases to what you want in init.txt or any other .txt file. See the list of aliases (which differs based on what device you have) here.

In no particular order: skirmish dagger, naakul dagger, Aluh Jambiya, Oxossi Facon +1, Tzustes Knife +1, mythic/empyrean, str magian probably all beat out Coruscanti or are at least close enough and ahable

That's what I was looking for i think. ty.

Idk from what I've seen the droprate is the same for a given proc/th lvl but you are just more likely to proc DCs unless you turn backwards on esp

I guess because people have said both and he didn't specify procage

I've done a fairly substantial amount of parsing on the effects of TH on drop rates. For DC mobs, you're generally between 2.7 and 3.0 coins per mob, depending on TH level (TH2, TH3/4, TH6 tag, TH6/7 fulltime). For EP mobs, it's about 2.0-2.25 per mob (I was uncertain on the earlier post, and erred on the high side rather than go search my notes; I apologize for that), though they will tend to have a slightly lower average TH level simply due to the thf not having as many chances to upgrade TH on them.

In all cases that I pull parse data from, all or nearly all mobs were proc'd in each run, so it's not an issue of EP mobs going unproc'd compared to DC mobs.

If "from what [you've] seen" is merely eyeballing, then obviously that isn't valid for any sort of comparison.

Would suggest a slight tweak on the TP set:

Upgrade the Tzustes if you feel like it.

I feel... dirty asking this but I must because I'm curious.

I'm overkilling haste by 3% in my Apoc AM down set which I remedied the other night by replacing Ace's Feet with Karieyh. Today I am reminded that Pak Corselet exists and is cheap as ballsack. Would it be worth it to change back to Ace's Feet and use Pak instead of Bale +2 body?

Current: Phorcys/Bale+2/Bale+2/Phorcys/Karieyh with Goading. Proposed: Phorcys/Pak/Bale+2/Phorcys/Ace's with Goading.

I do have E.Body sitting in my satchel, but I can't justify uncursing it for 17m plus costs of tatters when Pak is essentially the same thing with 3 less STP that I'm pretty sure is excess.

ok, i have gkeys.txt in my windower4 folder. there is no init.txt.

i have a macro set up like this for my g510

alias g510_m1g4 input /equip ear1 "Kemas Earring"; input /equip ring1 "Spiral Ring"; input /equip ring2 "Robust Ring"; input /equip body "Temple Cyclas"; input /equip head "Genbu's Kabuto"; input /equip hands "Mel. Gloves +2"; input /equip back "Melee Cape"; input /equip waist "Warwolf Belt"; input /equip legs "Kokugetsu Haidate"; input /equip feet "Ryuga Sune-Ate"; input /equip ammo "Tantra Tathlum" <wait 1>; input /ja "Chakra" <me>;



And it doesnt work.

Items like pop items for omega or BCNM orbs, do they say something different if they have been used already?

Disregard, I'm dumb.

init.txt is found in the scripts folder; but if you already have gkeys.txt you must exec it first: //exec gkeys.txt from within ffxi. You might need to move gkeys.txt into the scripts folder for it to work.
