I have H2H myself (at 90) and Katana at the branching stage before WoE/Briareus.
I have around 70 various coins in my Mog Safe and I'm waiting until they come up with more detailed data.
They mentioned making WoE weapons easier (or "revising" them, I presume they were talking about the NM hunting thing) so I don't want to work my ass doing a fuckton of NM hunting for all the other weapons I want only to find out that they're gonna make it easy a few months later and start to hate myself.

Atm it's not even 100% sure they're really gonna allow us to really unlock those WS through WoE weapons. It's still too early and I don't want to get burned.

Yeah I'm sitting on coins too, but dies and residues are pretty reasonable right now. I'm still working on Anni so my gil is focused on that, but I appreciate the opinions.

Thanks for the Maere advice. Any idea range on nightmare? And is it centered on diabolos or his target?

Likely at least one or two locations missing, please update it if you find them.

A while back I made a post regarding crashing in certain areas. I followed what was suggested in a response with no luck, and I've been dealing with it since. However, I've figured out the problem. It seems that the Windy conquest flag file is damaged/corrupted/my computer hates it. Any time I get within draw distance of the flag, I crash. Its specific to the conquest flag as I have no issues in Windy past or present, but anytime I approach an outpost or guard with the flag up, my computer kicks the bucket (as mentioned in the previous post, its an entire computer crash, not just the game.) To be certain, I've tried going to several areas with and without Windy controlling it, and the only time I've experienced issues is when Windy does control the area.

Does anyone know the .dat for the flag, and are there possibly .dats that I can swap for it in an attempt to repair it or just change it out? I'm not picky, I just want to stop crashing, while avoiding a full reinstall if at all possible.

You mean this one?



ROM/7/97.dat

[Malithar]

Believe so, I can't go and look at it ingame to tell.

So the .dat is there. Do I just copy another .dat and rename it to 97? Never done any .dat changing other than copy/pastes of UIs and maps. Could I copy the .dat of Sandys flag and replace it? If so, which .dat is that?

[noodles355]

make a copy of dat ROM/7/95, /96 or /98 (sandy, bastok, beastman flags respectively), rename copy to /97, and go.

Alternatively you could try simply deleting the 97.dat file then doing a file check, it should download a working 97.dat.

You can replace it with pretty much anything though, doesn't have to be another flag.

Stupid question, but it came to my mind while doing slavage II, since most jobs can go over the gear haste cap with gear now; on a job like RNG with volocity shot, would going over the 25% (any extra haste) null velocity shot's slow? Would serve little to no purpose and what not, but I've been thinking about it all day...

[Malithar]

make a copy of dat...

Wish there was a rate up button. Thanks a ton! Worked flawlessly.

Out of curiosity, why would such an issue cause a computer crash rather than FFXI crashing?

[Kaisha]

I would assume it may have been your video driver freaking out from XI trying to render a corrupted model.

[noodles355]

Something like that. It happened to me years ago with elvaan M assault jerkin.

I know server economies are different, but in general, what furniture is the cheapest way to boost storage these days?

Not sure if it's actually the cheapest technically but I'd get Panetiere. 65 storage for that is pretty good especially when you start to figure in how the other peices use up storage. And well just normal bed and such or whatever you have lieing around should get you the rest the way to 80.

And if the price is too high find a woodworker/goldsmitht synergist. The ingredients are super cheap
