Is there anywhere to download this game for PC without having to buy a bunch of stuff I don't want? I stopped at Abyssea.

My LS does attempted Tojil runs. We fill ~12 spots from LS and shout for the rest. Generally we kill Mata, Eft, and Raptor without issues, although our kill speed is abyssmal. Sometimes we get Kurma or the peiste down, but usually not both. Getting through 4 NMs is a "good" run for us. One time we got all 5 down, but timed out before we saw Tojil. Our DDs, including myself, are clearly sub-par for this content. Also, TP moves go off constantly. We have 2 SCH and RDM doing a "stun rotation", but they seem to just stun randomly when their turn is up instead of watching for red lines and actually stunning TP moves. We do have 2x GEO with capped skills, and DRG w/ appropriate gear for Angon. Given this kind of performance, would we have any shot at killing Tojil if we were to farm beads and lock Kurma & peiste, or would we just get there and wipe?

Any advice (aside from the obvious) on how we could get closer to a victory? We have the drive to succeed, but we're just not at that level yet.


Edit: my aplogies...this should have gone in the Delve thread rather than this one. Sorry!

Pretty much not even worth the effort as long as the bolded is an issue. The other issues can be improved upon given time (DPS being the main issue it sounds like, have 3+ song Brds and Cors?), but stunners that don't know what/how to stun? Can only imagine that'd be frustrating on a level similar to NNI with people who cannot function on lamps.

What % do you have to be there for WKR? I've heard between 5 and 50%

What % do you have to be there for WKR? I've heard between 5 and 50%

Far as I know, theres never been a strict % you have to be in by. It all comes down to how many evals/the quality of the evals you get. I'm sure there's some threshhold you have to hit, but I have no idea on what it'd be. I've managed to get enough evals to get an item after entering Morimar WKR at 8%. The 50% you're hearing about is when Yumcax and Hurkan were bugged, and any entries after 50% got zilch. They've since fixed this, and it functions as the old WKRs do AFAIK.

Has there been any testing to show what the Haste value for Last Resort is since adding it to the JA itself? I remember the update notes mentioning it would scale with DRK lvl so I'm curious as to how much Haste /DRK would even grant.

Does the skill up food effect Geomany/Handbell skill ups?

[Gokulo]

Why wouldn't it

What's the minimum level you need to leech book xp in Bostaunieux Oubliette? (And is it the same for other areas?)

What's the minimum level you need to leech book xp in Bostaunieux Oubliette? (And is it the same for other areas?)

It's going to differ based on the situation. Enough to get at least 1 xp from the kills. Which is going to depend on the lvl difference between the highest play and the mob and the lvl diff between you and the highest and how many people in the group and if you using signet or not

[jPuff]

That makes sense. I knew it was "something like 16" for Oubliette but wasn't sure if it was an exact level thing or what.

I asked this question in 2011 here.

Has anyone PL a mule/alternate account using the leech page under sandy since level cap hit 95?

You used to be able to go at level 10, wondering what level it is now.

And Radec answered me here.

I had the same (mistaken) impression, but it depends on both your PL level and the number of people in your party - from http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Experience you need to be able to get 1xp/kill at least.

base*level mod*player share >= 1

Level mod = <PLed character level>/<PLer level>
Share = 0.75 for 2 people, w/ signet
base: Depends on PLer level, but given a 95 PL the lowest possible base is 34.

<min PLed level>/95 * 0.75 * 34 >= 1

Min PLed Level >= 3.7.... aka you need level 4.

If you're joining an ally, player share drops pretty fast, in a 6 person party you nned to be level 8, in an 18 man alliance you need level 28.

Can you get skill ups in reives?

Can you get skill ups in reives?

Nope!

Wasn't sure cause I've heard of it not working for summoning, and the bard groups, sooo.. was just wondering before I bought any lol

[pancakesandsex]

Does anyone have an ohshi settings file with delve nms and tp moves in it?

[azagarth]

So I might start back up.

What job is the most desired right now, with minimal effort? Jobs like WHM, Brd, what? I quit in 2009. I can play any job fine, I will do other jobs later, I just want to jump into endgame asap and go from where I left off. Also, No mac version of the game still?

[Rehn]

WHM and GEO are desirable for boss fracture runs. GEO should be easier though you're gonna have to spend a few days shaking that bell to cap skill. People have been demanding BRD to have 3-song at minimum lately on my server, so unless you can do that, I'd save the headache (assuming you are starting back without friends/LS).

[dasva]

Yeah no one wants to seem to want to play geo even though all you gotta put into it is basically lvling/skilling up and getting a cure and dt set. Well running around getting the geo spells and buying the indi. That might be it. So many people act like 200k spells is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much lol.

Whm might take a bit of effort. If you aren't using a decent fastcast/cure cast time to precast and then a nice cure set to it's going to be noticable and decent amounts of refresh gear.

Most other jobs are going to need specific gear. Like either entire sets or things like aegis/ochain for pld. At least ghorn and/or harp for brd preferrably both. Really they are basically designing the game to specifically be where you can't jump straight into endgame. THere current vision is one of gear progression where you do 1 level of events for gear to be able to do the next and so on effectively gaining lvls by progressing in gear. To the point they even denote it on the armor itself
