New or Returning Players Discussion 3: FFXI Single Player Edition

[Spicyryan]

I was clearly only addressing the last question. I wasn't interested in troubleshooting the problem.
If you guys want to use that as an opportunity to give me flak then that is fine.

Basically I was trying to log in before the end of the year was what I was saying. Always logged in at least once to check the event music for a bit.

Rollbacked back drivers but still nothing, oh well, bit disappointing.

Provide your system specs, please.

It's been a long time but isn't there a special version of POL for newer versions of windows? Maybe you need that.

The Windows Vista version of POL, which I'd assume is a given anymore.

Windows..

One way to find out. Worst that can happen is 6 fishkabob going to the void.

even with nq ambuscade 119 gear you'd run into trouble with some of them. caturae in particular love to use shield move that's pretty annoying without something like requiescat to remove.

ok, so. i just finished the apoc trials to 95. i have the cash to grab the marrows to take it to the first 99, but the next 250 make my eyes water to contemplate.

please hold my scared little hand and help me understand the process to taking it to 119.

[gaira]

5 marrows = 99, 300 plutons = 119, 10,000 plutons = 119 afterglow. you could do 250 marrow but plutons are cheaper.

You could do 250 marrows for afterglow if you want. It will allow you to skip the 10k plutons stage and only require 1. If you skip the 250 marrows, you’ll need 10k Plutons instead.

I would recommend skipping the marrow stage and move on straight to Plutons. The option is mainly there so the people who slaved away for 250 marrows before the item level update wouldn’t have to grind out as much.

Does Refresh drop from anywhere besides the old BCNM40s?

[Dotsudoku]

figured it was one of the spells added to NPCs in recent years, but BGwiki indicates its still just the BC40s and Taisaijin

Thinking of coming back, but haven’t touched the retail game in 5-6 years. Last I remember was grinding abyssea for atmas and job levels (and PW finally being figured out)

Where the hell would I begin once I log in? (I remember my account info, not starting fresh)

For reference follows these, it’s honestly not as daunting as it sounds, especially if you already have jobs leveled and missions done

I heard Taisaijin drops it..

[Ksandra]

Can someone explain to me Crooked Cards with rolls/double up?

ie. Does it only work on the initial roll, or does it still count when doubling up? As well, do you need to use it before the initial roll or can you use it before a double up to count?
