New or Returning Players Discussion 3: FFXI Single Player Edition

[arus2001]

If soloing in CN, the bees/crawlers should get you to around 50. The real benefit in not leaving the zone, however, is you can head toward the Simurgh spawn and take out lizards and exorays into the 60s since you'll have the rewards bonus built up. Having a means of stealth is handy to get past the bees and minimize lizard links, but isn't required if you're careful and with trusts.

The tree is similar in that you can roll through crabs or spiders into the 70s, then jump up toward the Aery path to hit 99 out of it.

In the beginning convert them for prize powder and sell for gil until you can do unity fights for gear. During Gain-Exp the popular thing to do is convert them to SP gobbie keys if you are earning accolades at a fast rate. But while exping a lower level job I never found it to go that fast. And especially when you are starting out it just makes sense to convert them to powders to gil to take care of buying spells, low level gear, etc.

Prize Powder > npc gil? or ah gil?

Prize Powder > npc gil? or ah gil?

NPC. As Botosi said, it's a basically 99k unity points/accolades = 990K gil. And I apologize if my initial post wasn't the best regarding getting SP gobbie keys. The only time I get them is during Gain-Exp while I'm on a 99 job burning up exp/CP. Solo I would get 99k accolades in roughly 40 minutes or so. It made more sense to cash out the accolades to get back to exping than converting. But if I was brand new without any gil, I'd take the time to convert them to prize powder and then NPC for gil.

Is there an accurate online guild point tool?

[Draylo]

Usually FFXIAH but it depends on people to report the pattern.

[Buffy]

Is Lion II a better DD then Tenzen?

[chazzyphizzle]

no, lion 2 is complete shit

[Buffy]

Is there a windower plugin that shows you debuffs on the mob?

[Gokulo]

There's an addon called Debuffed

[Buffy]

Thanks, that's great. edit:

1. Are map packs still a thing with all the interesting crap on them?
2. I got a facility ring from a chest, do I care?

[Hitou]

Facility rings are for job points, you'll care if you're 99 already otherwise you can dbox it to yourself or another char on same account to hold till you are.

[Buffy]

Can I do the daily buff allies RoE quest using trusts? if so, how?

Edit: answered

[Buffy]

What's the command to change macro books?

[arus2001]

If I'm remembering right...

/macro book #
/macro page #
/macro set #

[Buffy]

Thanks. Is there a way to set trusts to only use single target WS? AoE WS occasionally cause me pain while levelling.

[Gokulo]

Nope, you either don't use those that have AoE WS or learn to live with it

[Buffy]

Is there a way to change the echo color?

[Buffy]

I want macros longer then six lines. I thought I could do it by having a text file file in the scripts file and typing /console exec test.txt but apparently I'm doing something wrong?

[Kalmado]

TLDR I got banned from Ashita's discord because Thorny says I'm a retard for having trouble with a .xml. And no bullshit that is the first time I've ever been banned online from anything, ever!

So uh, yeah. Just had a great experience with Thorny/Lolwutt on Ashita's discord. I was having trouble trying to figure out day/night swaps with an xml so I asked for some help. Someone suggested a line but it wasn't working for me. So thorny jumps in and says it should work, but it's not parsing for me. He suggests there is something else in the xml screwing it up, so I delete everything except the rule/command/whatever I'm having issues with. I upload it and he gets mad saying I'm "withholding information" and it's working fine, but it's still not for me. I try to explain that I'm just trying to understand. I get a "Look retard" and some other stuff. My only reply was "wow OK. Have a nice day" or something like that and he kicked me. Guy has some anger issues.

Guess I'll finally try .lua with windower and go from there.

[Karbuncle]

Thorny has always had Incel rage. This is not surprising.
