Hope they actually add proper fixes eventually for PUP & SMN besides "Here you go, a band-aid range/ammo slot".

Also, any reason why people are bothering with sub-20% colonization Naakual runs? Seems like an utter waste of time since it's COR-or-gtfo at that level of DT. Better off making an ally to farm the reives first.

bst too! Kinda got boned with the pet increase as is.

Time efficiency probably. Even hitting every reive in a zone with alot it still takes awhile to build it up and even then non cor dmg is gunna suck at 20%. While alot of cors together can still take them down fast. Also yorica is horrible for reiving lol. Too few too far apart in a zone that sucks hard

Does the SMN delve ranged give a lot of macc/acc to the pet as well? Currently have Macc/Mab merits in cat #1 merits, might as well swap the macc for att if this thing give similar acc/macc numbers to Alternator.

Friend of mine saying that the delivery box list for EX items is not accurate. Anyone confirm if you can/cannot delivery box the bb items?

Testing of macc would be a bit painful but you could test acc rather quick and easy. That said seeing as it's effectively a higher lvl and has the stats to go with it can't see it not gaining acc/macc

Any idea of repop on Gurfurlur the Menacing if he is killed in beseiged?

Hell, how do I even get to map 2 of Halvung to camp this sob lol

You couldn't dbox them last bonanza so I assume you still can't.

So after the fiasco with the delve shield, has anyone dropped the bayld on Huactzin Shield yet?

So yeah, anybody else agrees swapping 5/5 Macc for 5/5 Physical attack would be a nice choice for SMN?

Also couple more questions:
1) Yesterday I did another Colkhab Fight, I arrived late and got only like 4-5k Bayld. Got no item in the end (just shitty materials). Is it because I didn't "contribute enough" or because an item I already have "dropped" for me?
2) If you run away from a Lair/Colo Reive you can't join another reive for 5 mins, does this mean that if you leave a Lair you can't join a Wildkeepers for the next 5 mins?

[Taim Meich]

1) I've got item with as low as 2-3k Bayld (closer to 3k), so you probably got an item you already possessed.

2) Exactly.

[dasva]

It might be when you got there. I know people who have showed up late still got okish amount of baldy but no item just KI

[Sechs]

I honestly assumed you would have always got an item from a Wildkeepers Reive unless you had them all already, but thinking back about it now I guess that was too optimistic, and maybe stupid too.
Don't remember the % when I got there, but it was definitely low, got stuck on a fucking Lair Reive, in the end I would have saved more time by running away and waiting 5 mins, sigh.
Oh well, not like I'm gonna cry over 30k wasted bayld (lolbayld).

[dasva]

Yeah I just popped into a shark run midway thru. Well like 60% I think. And one of my mules I think got maybe 3-4k total since it's on brd and only was singing which seems to get zero credit. So it only got ending amount and of course from dieing occasionally. It still got the gkt <.<. But the other guy I know showed up at like 10% I think... told him he wouldn't get an item but he mostly wanted the KI so wasn't too bad

[Taim Meich]

Maybe all ths conditions are new? Because when I did my first WKR, it was Achuka, I showed up at 9%, spammed all the cures I could, but the fight didn't last much. I don't remember how much bayld I got but probably under 5k, final reward included. Despite that, I walked away with the helm.

In this update, I joined the tree from almost the very beginning, but made the mistake of going WAR when the colonization was 12% or so. Not many people in, also, and they were mostly CORs focused on the NM, so the only bayld I got (barely 3k, if that much) was from twilight zombying adds, one hit or WS at a time. Again, that was apparently enough, as I got the lolgorget.

[dasva]

Yeah I never heard of the whole coming in late thing mattering before this update. And yeah I made the mistake of having all my gear for pld but somehow was on bst when I went to shark tonight... so I deciding to just set myself up to keep running in once I ran out of pets that happened to be on my mule. Ended up getting like 13k total even more than the mule that was curing me just from twilight suicide bombing the shark lol. Interestingly enough though I never got a single evaluation when I or my pet was just dealing dmg. Lots when I took it and a little when I'd waltz but nothing from throwing out decent ruinators (actually had my delve axe on me luckily) while my whm would get something form a cure 2.. was very odd. Still 2 choclate hats and a gkt coming in at a little over 60% on the wrong job for the main

[Martel]

So after the fiasco with the delve shield, has anyone dropped the bayld on Huactzin Shield yet?

I'm not testing it unless it gets added to the test server. Been burning so much bayld on the new wildskeepers, no way I'm spending any on another shield I'll never use.

[Taim Meich]

Is there any Ergon Locus in Dho gates that doesn't need to clear a Reive?

Hm, nevermind, found it. No reives but have to climb and there's a nice bunch of Velkks waiting at the top.

Best way to be able to complete mission Life on the Frontier ?

[Shadida]

I've seen people playing widescreen FFXI where the text window at the bottom doesn't consume the width of the screen - how is this accomplished?

[Helldemon]

Config > Windows > Window Length.

I think I already know the answer to this already, but is the skirmish map temporary once you receive them from the noetic ascension? As in you won't have it when you do another run later?

[Hitou]

Yeah it's temp and only lasts that run. Have to get it every time.
