Wait you can't even see it like you could before? Wtf definitely sounds gm worthy

Well, before the last update you couldn't access storage from anything but home nation anyway so it's just like it's always been; I can only access storage from home. lol

[Obsidian]

You should be able to see what's in storage from anywhere, including outside.

[Shadida]

You can't get Storage from a Nomad Moogle, but you should be able to from any Rent-A-Room.

But the post before says you can't even look at it which you could before

Adoulin and Windows XP...apparently only the Ultimate Collection works to install the expansion on XP? If you buy the regular download and use the registration numbers, can you download the expansion files elsewhere and have it work anyway?

[Buffy]

I have no idea what the hell you are even asking.

You need the expansion files, which are platform specific (xbox, pc, ps2 in japan onry).

You need an expansion code, which is universal. If you buy the Seeker's complete edition or Seeker's Ultimate, whatever it is called, you only need 1 code.

The Seeker's Ultimate set works on XP+. Just Seekers works on Vista+. I have a friend who has XP, needs two copies, and thus doesn't want to pay the extra amount twice for the Ultimate collection. If they were to buy just Seekers, could they use the numbers and get the files elsewhere (from me, or anyone else who could actually install them) have have things work? I don't see why it wouldn't.

[dasva]

It's the same exact files for the 2.... only difference is extra code for chocobo shirt

No, the Seekers install works on XP. I should know, as I'm in the version of XP that I installed it on almost every day.

Any tips on skilling up automaton's ranged/melee skills? currently in the 330sh/230sh range. Have Percolator, will it help with skill ups always as long as it's equiped, or do I need to keep a water maneuver up at all times? idk how2pup herlp

P.S. can you get skill ups in reives? I heard someone said you could (and they mentioned their puppet was the one that was getting) I just killed x2 lair reives (painfully slow but good enough to skill up afk) and not a single skill up showed up, am I doing it wrong?

[Rocl]

I have repeatedly heard reports of people skilling up in Reives but never in my ten thousand years of Baylding have I ever received a skill up. Nor has Mademoiselle.

At what point does the soothsayer staff and the skirmish staff pull ahead of the magian +2 staffs and chatoyant staff with iridance?

Looking for the mab and int value in the optimal gearset that these two staffs would have to reach to beat to the magian staffs. Diminishing returns and all that jazz~

What's the consensus on paths for Rigor Baghs and MNK Pants; Acc for both for the eventual DEX mod for Shijin Spiral?

To tie magians it would have to have (100 + YOUR_CURRENT_MAB)*(0.35) mab. YOUR_CURRENT_MAB includes gear/traits/merits/buffs/food/whatever. so if you have +100MAB (the number usually used when ppl ask this) it would be (100 + 100)*(0.35) = (200)*(0.35) = 70mab. so 70mab would tie magian staff if you have +100 mab from gear/traits/merits/buffs/etc.

too lazy to figure out chatoyant

EDIT: what do you mean magian +2 staves? the stuff i posted is for the m.dmg +6 magian staves (apamajas I etc). If you mean the macc path magians, then change 0.35 to 0.15. That means you would only need like 30 mab to tie those (with +100 mab in gear/traits/etc).

Acc for both for the eventual DEX mod for Shijin Spiral?

Or Acc for the Acc.

Ok so I've used 50 imprimaturs and I'm level 2 fame, but I'm still not getting the cutscene from Brenton for the Dinner Invite. Am I missing something else?

Edit: Also, is there a weather forecast NPC in Adoulin?

Edit: Rank 3 fame and finally got CS...

[Pebe]

Ty grev for the info and actually idk what I was thinking when I said the magian +2 staffs.... mental lapse I guess lol. I meant the fully upgraded magic damage staffs.

[Pebe]

So I just used ffxiah making the best set with the bokwus/and other new gear and i got 158 mab with trait, not including merits, food buffs.

Using your equation, it came out to i needed 90.3 mab on a staff to beat the magian (damn thats a lot of mab). The skirmish staff max we've seen so far is 70 mab and 18 int....... soooooo magian staves are still unbeatable in optimal situations, and therefore this update has no new weapons for me for blm and sch. Its sad because I wanted 1 super nuking staff that I can stick mrkyr on when they unlock it.

[noodles355]

Was the 90 MaB on staff for blm or sch? Because Blm has higher native MaB from traits.

Edit:

Another question. Am I right in assuming RNG can cap Recycle with just AF2+2 head and 5/5 Merits? And if so, is it worth dropping any of those Recycle Merits for Flashy Shot merits and hitting the 95% cap in gear? (Such as Libeccio, Manibozho Gloves, AF2+2 Hat - 4-%, Plus 55% base trait)?
