I don't use spellcast, but I do have Windower 4. Is it possible that it's causing the problem? And if so, how do I fix it?, would /raw still work for this? :O

Even if you don't have a spellcast XML for the job you're on, I'm pretty sure if it's loaded (you may be autoloading it) it'll override commands like Fantod/Jettatura/Sleepga.

If you click on them it has the item description though not the amounts. Iirc to be able to use them your server has to have fully researched that ergon. Though how that is accomplished is hard to prove. I believe the npc in the scouts guild tells you about their research on each one

But are they one-time items or permanent? 40k Bayld for a small one-time buff seems a bit exagerated? Especially seeing all the work required to get it.

They're consumable. IIRC Prothescar used one during a Wildskeeper Reive. It gave him +33% Attack and lasted for a minute or something.

So we're talking about something that gives you a big buff that:
1) Can be used once and it gets consumed
2) Needs you to unlock it through a quick Scouts Coalition quest
3) Needs to be bought for 40k Bayld
4) Needs the server to be over a certain % of research on that Ergon Locus to be used
5 Lasts 60 seconds

I mean, wtf? Sounds a bit too much of work for 33% attack or 33% hp or whatever else, for 1 minute...
Not that I would like to get an Abyssea/Voidwatch buffs v2 (OH GOD PLEASE NO) but this sounds pretty unbalanced in the effort/reward ratio

if it works in delve it might actually be worth using.

[Byrthnoth]

I agree and perhaps there's something to it . . . or perhaps there's some expansion in the future that will reduce their price to 400 Bayld a la Primeval Brew and we'll actually be able to use them strategically.

Also they take up real invent space no? Almost think they were intended to be a hey I got lots of baldy and bought everything else I can with itt might as well get this. Though really duration needs to be longer than a min. I mean sure there is a biy diff between abyssea and but I wouldn't spend that m uch time farming for a temp to help a fight unless it was a brew or at least somewhat close. Btw cwn you use them in the test server or is everything in there perma starting lvl. Ie no research

The exact % increase in DPS is going to depend on your gear and target. I'd recommend using Motenten's spreadsheet, but Prothescar had this to say on FFXIAH:



For me, personally, with everything from Abyssea, a few NNI pieces, and Delve accessories, if I plug in Ukon 99 vs Bloodbath, it's a ~15% increase in DPS against Ig-Alima and a ~33% increase against a level 102 Chapuli. (I don't have Ukon 99.)

Would this have been plugged in using the correct WS like Raging Rush or Upheavel with GA? And taking into account aftermath and Hidden effects?

Just curious, if so that is insane..

It's definitely possible that I fucked up somewhere, but that's what I'm seeing at the moment.

How do you backup/restore macros to the server? Power just went out and reverted all my in-game settings and reminded me I haven't backed up my macros in a looooong time.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

[Kidnoftle]

Nvm, fixed.

Best way to skill up Dark Magic for a burned DRK as painlessly as possible? Endark/Dread Spikes in Empyreal Paradox?

go with full regen atma and spam bio/drain/aspir w/e on abyssea worms would work aswell i think

Would work better!
I went with 2 regen atmas and 1 atma which has regen/refresh, some idle refresh gear and then engaged DC+ crabs in Grauberg and spammed Bio1.
Tried plethora of different methods and this proved to be the fastest to me, waaaay faster than self-dark spells spam (Endark, dread spikes, klimaform etc)

Yep Spellcast was being auto loaded. Problem solved, ty guys. This was driving me mental lol.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion.

Do you need the respective zone's Naakual KI to enter them in fracture? Or can any Naakual's KI enter you to any of the 3 fractures?

[Obsidian]

Any KI will get you into all three zones.

Is there a list with ex equipment that can be used by other characters on the same account? If there is no list, can AF3 be shared on an account?

I'm coming back to the game with a friend that's new, so I'd like to start a new character, but I'm not gonna bother if I can't transfer that stuff.

[Rehn]

Equipments like empyrean armor can't be transferred to same POL characters like...
http://bg-wiki.com/bg/Unkai_Domaru

whereas some items like...
http://bg-wiki.com/bg/Bokwus_Boots

could. There is no list, but you could search for the item via bg-wiki and get your answer by looking at the flags listed under each item.
