I think RF means reforged armor meaning the ilvl 109 and 119 afs.

**dasva** · 2013-12-23 15:14

For people without soa or just don't have high end delve/skirmish 2 gear in general it's a good idea just to make your RF+1s. Most of them are among the best in slot or close for a lot of stuff. Some of the sparks set pieces are decent too but that's piece by piece somewhat based on what you can get and how much you want to go for slight up/sidegrades

Remember that some platforms didn't get Adoulin, and some people are still on old enough systems that it's not valid (say, old WinXP platforms). My LS leader, for example. Italian, so the only real option for him is a new PC and a new Windows OS to go with it.

**Sechs** · 2013-12-23 17:05

Wait what? What does that mean? Some platforms didn't get adoulin? I don't think there is a matter of compatibility. Adoulin expansion should work just fine on Windows XP?

**NynJa** · 2013-12-23 17:33

SE just said they're dropping support...aka if your shit doesnt work and you're on XP, too bad so sad. Doesnt mean FFXI all of a sudden wont run on XP

**dasva** · 2013-12-23 18:02

Yeah SE specifically addressed that concern before SOA came out when someone brought it up.

**dasva** · 2013-12-23 19:21

Of in case anyone is wondering it seems like the time limit ones work on a pattern. Basically assuming NA timezones whatever one it is early morning it will also be for the evening one as well as the next days noonish one. Each day starting off with a new one. So far the starter for the days that I have recorded are plant, lizard, vermin, seals, xp, and aquans

Playstation2 outside of JP didnt get seekers right?

**Hitou** · 2013-12-23 21:01

Right.

**Tarage** · 2013-12-23 21:48

I'm trying to wrap my head around the Eminent Pole. It says
Avatar: "Magic Atk. Bonus"+108
Latent effect: Avatar: Magic Accuracy+10 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+114

Is that cumulative? Or does that mean the max is 114?

**Ophannus** · 2013-12-23 21:50

Probably the max is 114. Just follow the pattern of the other eminent weapons.

**dasva** · 2013-12-23 22:08

Yeah 222 would be just a tad OP

I came back in October to see how things were after 14 months forced away by finances. I bought Adoulin a month ago, but needing it from Japan and being unable to pay for digital download because of regional payment locks, had to order a disc. It still has not arrived in the mail because of the shipping season. I'm spending my time trying to complete the old mission chains I was never able to do with my short play schedules and oddball hours of availability due to my time zone. I have many people in my current address without Adoulin too.

Correct, but it still can be installed through other means. I have a friend in Brazil that taught me how to do it once I get my JP disc. It was unstable though doing it that way until a patch during the summer. Now it runs without crashing.

Install files to a JP PS2, boot uLaunchELF and copy the installed files for the expansion to a USB flash drive. Put the flash drive in an NA PS2 with FFXI installed, boot uLaunchELF, copy the files into the FFXI installation partition. Boot PlayOnline Viewer and run a file check. Expansion is now installed and active.

**Trumpy** · 2013-12-25 01:06

Wow that is totes crazy, but i am glad there is a way for US peeps to get it on their PS2s even if it is cockamaimy!

**Trumpy** · 2013-12-25 14:19

My aphotic Kukri isnt fully upgraded yet, but for dnc I was wondering if i should main hand it or the eminent dagger. Eminent has 85 dmg Latent:89 dmg ilvl 117, and Aphotic Kukri has 91 dmg ilvl 113. I am not sure if Eminent works in the sub hand or not? anyone who can help me would be appreciated.

The old rubric was "highest damage in the main hand" but that was before attack could vary across the two. If you're not attack capped, Eminent is probably going to do better in the main hand, since a 40? attack boost from skill is probably going to outweigh the 2 higher base damage.

**redfoxwhitley** · 2013-12-25 15:48

Well dnc can't use eminent dagger anyway...

Edit: Well I should really make sure the update didn't change things before I post...

**Trumpy** · 2013-12-25 21:47

They did post that they would fix the dnc not being on the dagger thing but i am really surprised it didnt take 2 years. yea i am kinda thinkin the 4 item level difference will make up for the two less damage. Still curious bout if it works in the off hand, the latent i mean. ALSO! I noticed today that the dagger and the katana and maybe a couple other eminent weapons have latent acc 39 instead of the normal 15 like the rest of them, I have no idea how i missed this.

**Hitou** · 2013-12-25 22:06

Yeah, the latent works in the off hand. Like others have said, depending on your total acc/attack you'll probably want to mainhand it over aphotic.

It's not just the extra ilvl and th skill that goes with it but also it's lower delay. If you could it'd probably be a good idea to use 2. Also as far ae the latents usually latents don't add to on additionally to stat gains already on the item. In fact I can't think of a time they every had... on tue other hand it doesn't make much sense for the acc to go down.... kinda wondering if there is a typo there kinda like skirmish weapons base dmgs. Might be a good idea to check the acc rq
