1/1 on d ring, wtfffffff. was not expecting that shit.

[Anoat]

I hate you

[mallister]

I squealed, like a little school girl.

[Fondue]

Assuming I can make an aegis and already have ochain and some gear PLD but no decent weapons, would I be better off trying to tank things with aettir run or pld?

Got mine on Saturday myself! 1/80+

[Kalmado]

I might make a Kikoku. Or do nothing. Haven't decided yet!

[Omnipotent]

I don't think I can put myself through Trials again after Apoc and Rag. It is the most mind numbing crap in this game.

You mean before even when camping HNMs were a thing? Cuz that was mind numbing crap.

Only time I did not enjoy camping HNM's was when it ran into the early AM. Other than that... Netflix...youtube.... dual monitor playing another video game. It was easy not focusing for 29 minutes and 30 seconds, focus.... back to AFK. Now I have to pay attention to kill shot EP mobs and make sure I don't triple attack or double damage kill the mob

On a different note I have a challenge to you guys. I was looking thru some old notes and I saw this thing...



What happened to this thing because the old wiki says it might not even be able to be obtained anymore. That's a first for me hearing about the devs straight up deleting an item like this.

[Petitssk]

Been floating around in the dat-files, no one found it, then people thought it may be obtainable after all when its graphic was changed in 2004. However, no one ever found it, apparently (source: http://wiki.ffo.jp/html/27002.html)

[S N K]

Since RUN was added to it also I'm sure it's somewhere. I like these little mysteries of shit that nobody knows where something is. Reminds me how super secret it was with the Parade Gorget back in the day.

[mallister]

apoc w/ afterglow done! be a minute for the job point phase.

[Fondue]

does guttler have any place for bst at this point? I see the afterglow model has attack+10% for pets too but idk how the alternatives are

does bst have any place in lowman setups either? pld+brd+bst?

[MrSamuels]

What are you supposed to play when you came back to the game and don't have an RMEA, seems like getting into any sort of group is almost impossible these days without one and can only progress so far solo

Go see this guy and make a JSE weapon.

It'll hold you over and get you competent for stuff at least. Then just start grinding one out. Relics in particular are pretty easy to make right now with how easy Dynamis is at max level and how cheap currency has become.

[Kalmado]

I think I'm going to casually do a Kikoku because I don't have anything to solo escha NMs for other katanas. I'm not playing nearly as much as a month ago. Picked up Yakuza 0 again and it's been a blast.

[Gun-it]

This is what you are looking for: https://github.com/Caradog/XI-View

This is my first update to XI since returning. Does XI view need to be updated after each update or do I just need to put the files back into my ROM folder?

I don't remember.

Edit: For anyone wondering XI view is working

[mallister]

Ok so this month has a max lights void watch campaign. I have an Almace that needs the bump to 99. What do I need to target to farm plates? I am assuming it is just pop and zerg?

Oh Jesus and here I thought I was going to step away for awhile. I have over 700 VW stones or w/e they are. Decisions must be made.
