Would Akvan on something like Aegis PLD be viable too? Should be able to hold it fairly effectively and it has access to both Death spell and Death via TP move. Would possibly just need someone to stop it depopping.

[Darkmagi]

Does resist death actually work on TP moves? I know it does on spell, but never personally seen a tp move get resisted.

[Jem]

I honestly don't know.

Uggy Pendant NM is another NM with access to Death though. I don't think that does anything but cast either and at a quicker rate than usual. So that's probably a decent NM to test with.

So im trying to reactivate my old account, And when i log on POL, I get Lm-27 stating i owe them 12 dollars, I log onto my SE ID and shit, and when i look at my payment history, it doesnt go back to the date is states (march 2010) It only goes back as far as octobor 2012. How the hell am i supposed to pay a bill that doesnt exist. Also When i look at my ID, it is linked yet when i go to look at active/canceled services, there is nothing listed under either. Wtf. Halp.


Nevermind, im a retard. Issue solved.

anyone else having strange mouse issues with Windower4? I've tried hardware mouse both enabled and disabled, but ffxi window won't recognize my mouse either way. Did I fuck up some other setting or something?

Sometime in the last month all of my <stnpc> and <stal> macros stopped working. Now when I hit them they always target me and begin to cast. I'm unsure why this is, I'm assuming it has something to do with windower, but if anyone has encountered this issue or has a suggestion to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.

Are the Hydra mobs in Dynamis-Beacudine considered undead? Can a DRK solo the attestation mobs in Dynamis-Beacudine?

[Darkmagi]

You can catastrophe them, but good luck getting drops solo and without TH.

Probably the best option^

There used to be documentation for cancel plugin... namely the IDs for certain buffs. Anyone still have that list? Google has failed me.

edit: it's just the ID in resources xml, isn't it?

Yes, it is - just use status.xml and the id number

Was in a Pil group last night that wasn't going well. Then suddenly someone asks why the one Cor in our group is just standing there not shooting and not taking down or trying to take down Pil's shield. He then states his marksmanship skill is too low. I explained that Quick Draw isn't based off marksmanship skill and then stated what BG Wiki lists. Anyhow this whole argument started in party chat, can someone clarify for me about this. I double checked with FFXI Encyclopedia as well and it doesn't list anything about skill affecting QD. Thanks

[Jem]

It didn't used to affect QD but SE changed it. Now your Marks skill factors into resist rate.

[blue]

Oh Uggy Pendant NM is a nice one, just need to get my hands on an Odorous Knife.

Hmmmm ok, well that makes me slightly wrong and my party members slightly wrong, anyhow the Pil group dissolved after just 2 messy pops lol

[Obsidian]

I don't think Quickdraw will drop the barrier if it's ranged damage, either. I think it only works if it's magic. Could be wrong though.

[Byrthnoth]

No, Magic damage also doesn't work. Quick Draw is somewhat unique. I changed the bgwiki page though, because the merit notes for Quick Draw Acc are something like "adds 2 Macc per merit level." Also, Kirschy showed that both magic WSs and Quick Draw depend on skill by setting her skill to 0 on the test server and getting horribly resisted by EP monsters.

[Khary]

Ah, ok well this is news to me. Now I know :D, thanks Byrth

So I have an alt account that doesn't have the Abyssea expansions. I was wondering if anyone knows if I were to purchase the FINAL FANTASY XI: ULTIMATE COLLECTION SEEKERS EDITION, would I be able to activate Seekers on my main account and then activate Abyssea on my Alt account with the one purchase?

Thanks.
