How do I do this? I opened up the timers setting file and only see this:

	<global>
		<graphicalMode>false</graphicalMode>
		<slimMode>false</slimMode>
		<flashOnCompletion>true</flashOnCompletion>
		<showTenths>true</showTenths>
		<highRed>255</highRed>
		<highGreen>0</highGreen>
		<highBlue>0</highBlue>
		<medRed>255</medRed>
		<medGreen>160</medGreen>
		<medBlue>0</medBlue>
		<lowRed>0</lowRed>
		<lowGreen>255</lowGreen>
		<lowBlue>0</lowBlue>
		<textA>255</textA>
		<textR>255</textR>
		<textG>255</textG>
		<textB>255</textB>
		<flashR>255</flashR>
		<flashG>255</flashG>
		<flashB>0</flashB>
		<fontName>Arial</fontName>
		<fontSize>8</fontSize>
		<fontBold>false</fontBold>
		<recastX>20</recastX>
		<recastY>350</recastY>
		<buffsX>190</buffsX>
		<buffsY>350</buffsY>
		<customX>360</customX>
		<customY>350</customY>
		<barSpacing>0</barSpacing>
		<recastTimerLimit>8</recastTimerLimit>
		<buffsTimerLimit>8</buffsTimerLimit>
		<customTimerLimit>8</customTimerLimit>
	</global>

		<bgA>0</bgA>
		<bgR>0</bgR>
		<bgG>0</bgG>
		<bgB>0</bgB>

can try pasting that in, but if that doesnt work you will have to delete your timers settings and restart windower.

Anyone have a quick/effecient guide to making Apamajas Staff II?

Timers question. while on corsair when double up is on cooldown it shares the same spot fine with the Delve timer however when double up is done member buffs that are being tracked is right on top of the delve timer. How would i change where the Delve timer is positioned?

Look up the trials here: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:...Magians_Staves

Follow the advice on FFXIclopedia for areas, except where you can kill mobs more efficiently in a place not mentioned (e.g., Abyssea)—here's an example link: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Trial_816

Once you've reached the status ailment kills, there's nothing quick about anything from then on (barring the geode-based trials). You either cast a debuff on each mob individually, or join an EXP PT fighting the mobs you need and ensure you're casting the debuff on each one before it's killed. There is no quick way of doing it.

Actually had a question concerning this. In the process of building the -recast Thunder staff, and was curious if Geo debuffs count for this. I'm on the Vermin trial prior to status effect kills, so not much longer til I can see. Was just going to have a War friend FC in Aby and toss a cure on him after the first FC to get on everything's hate list.

Not sure if anyone has tested geo debuffs yet

Anyone have the link to the icon changes? The one that basically auto does it?

You can AoE absorb spells as sch/drk, absorb-mnd counts as a thunder debuff for example. Best bet (for solo) is to do all those trials in aby and just absorb-whatever + kaustra-cleave, and keep resetting 2hr with ISL chests.

There's no way to actually tell without a statistical trial with a massive number of entries, and I don't think anyone actually did one.

I started, but it wasnt enough data. Having said that, cruor is fucking worthless now, so dont be cheap and just get both cells and not risk it.

[Cletus]

Which .dat do I swap out to stop seeing Bloodbath Axe? Which one can I replace it with to see Himthige, Ukon, Telamon, etc. instead?

[Sechs]

You mean custom .dat swapped icons? The evolution of what originally was Brandson's and then Emiko's and then Darkshade's project?
Can find it here.

I haven't been using it myself since SoA came out though (bit earlier), mainly because of the plenty reported issues by people (messes up with Reive icon, Ionis etc) and because I'm not too fond of how they remade some of the icons, despite apreciating all their hard (and not paid!) work.
SE basic all-icons-are-the-same system is annoying me so much though that I might go back and datswap. Gonna wait 'til next patch since it's so close and since patches usually mess up with datswaps.

Current sam sets?

Was thinking of bringing sam out of retirement since I have access to the Tsurumaru

That being said though, not sure if I have shit worthwhile for the other slots to bring sam out of retirement. VW is dead on my server, so the quad neck for example isn't rly accessible. Don't have rose strap (idk if that's even needed anymore)

Do have things like usu shoes/mask+1 that carry over from mnk though.

What's a decent tp/ws build for sam these days?

[Karizo]

what would be the standard SAM gear level that people would invite a SAM to a Delve PT for? Whether Fracture or Field NMs.

Currently my gear looks like (sorry don't have URL privilege yet):
Weapon: Kantonnotachi (100 TP Bonus)/Pole Grip

TP:
| | |Hagneia Stone
Phorcys Salade |Unkai Nodowa |Unkai Mimikazari |Brutal Earring
Unkai Domaru +2|Karieyh Moufles|Tyrant's Ring |Rajas Ring
Atheling Mantle |Bullwhip Belt |Unkai Haidate +2|Ace's Leggings

WS:
| | |Thew Bomblet
Mekira Oto |Thunder Gorget|Moonshade Earring|Brutal Earring
Phorcys Korazin |Phorcys Mitts |Pyrosoul Ring |Pyrosoul Ring
Unkai Sugemino |Thunder Belt |Karieyh Brayettes |Karieyh Sollerets


Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance. (I have not looked into optimizing for x-hit build, I will do so after work)

BLU also has a number of aoe debuffs that work, such as Enervation for thunder trials.

Returning player here after many years lapsed. Hitting 30 was straightforward enough, but I've heard people say they hit Abyssea @ 30 to level. Seems to require other jobs already be much higher, but maybe I'm missing something?

If you were to hit 30 for the first time on your first jobs, where would you go next?

[Lotomos]

I'm wondering what the best way for me to get a Ceizak T5 clear would be. I have MNK99(no REMD) THF99(th7), I've done plasm farming, have around 30k for Rigors.. But I can't seem to get the clear, would it be wise to go finish my Veres? Partially done, but it would take awhile to actually finish. Or level a new job (BRD/WHM/COR) to get into groups?

I stayed in Gusgen until about 40 then moved to Crawlers Nest. You could stay at Gusgen until 32ish, but I moved at 40 to be able to take a few hits.

Abyssea you'd need cruor to get keys and be a key bitch, or friends to leech from.

Is there a way to exit Monarch Linn to Riverne Site B01 after entering from A01, or vice versa?

[Taint]

Trying to make a Delve boss DRG build. Close to zero experience on DRG but it seems to be a job we are missing a lot. What would you change with this set? Rank 15 Miki (STR head, DEX feet)

Thanks!
