I'd gladly give up +2 Hmp in a exchange of Wizard Cookies for Imperial Coffee+1.

better than coffee if you can get the HQ, just don't use it near any melee >.>

Martinus:

/ta <stpc>
//exec hastegear.txt
/ma "Refresh" <lastst>

That'll move the blink effect until you've already selected the appropriate target, and give you to equip your Fast Cast gear for a quicker Refresh cast. It'll also keep it (and your haste gear) on at the end for the shorter recast. I add in a /wait 5 and another //exec xxxxx.txt to return to my normal gear after casting. I use a similar macro for Haste, too.

Good luck!

Edit: Clarification

nyosan this is exactly the sort of out of the box thinking i was looking for! that's awesome, thank you so much, it's perfect :D

there's probably an alchemy or temp item that *could* do it, (whatever does all the other 'named' -na effects) but since you're prevented from acting while stoned, it doesn't work in practice.

so, as of this time; no. If Esuna gets implemented in the game, then Esuna will also do it presumably.

Id like to know if Ive done something wrong. I traded rajas for tamas back in august. Tonight I dropped tamas to get a rajas, and Im being told I need to wait 27 days. I was under the impression that you had to wait that long after each TRADE not each DROP. Clarification?

Why can't I get assault armbands anymore? Whenever I check the NPC this happens:

Epical's mercenary badge flashes.
NPC: The mark of the wildcat? You must be a mercenary from Salaheem's Sentinels.
NPC: We are both working for the good of the Empire. I wish you luck.

Nothing more, nothing less. I have orders and everything, no existing armband in key items list. HALP I WNAT TEH POINTZ.

Any ideas? It's really starting to piss me off. -_-

You don't have a fresh imperial ID tag and you need to turn in your old one and get a new one, there should be a more concrete warning, but there isnt

What? I don't have a fresh imperial ID tag? What's the time limit for being "fresh"? How do you turn in a tag without signing up for a mission and giving back the orders? If I give back the orders, do I lose that tag?

er by fresh i mean unused. Go talk to the red guy at the assault officey place and he should tell you that you're rewarded for doing assault blah blah, then talk to him again, and he should give you another tag, and you should be good to go after reflagging the assault

27 day wait starts upon dropping the ring, the first trade ignores this rule and skips the wait completely as far as I know.

Not sure if this has been asked/answered

Selene's Bow vs. E bow/V bow For Ranger?

Currently lvling ranger, I have an S bow wondering if it's worth getting an E bow?

Selene's is very good but second best.

So essentially just completing one assault and signing up for another? Because that's what I've been doing by doing assaults...

Since he wants to get a command armband I assume he has been doing assaults, and hence has spoke to the guy numerous times about getting new assault tags.

I got the same exact message, and that's exactly how I fixed it. if that doesnt work then he's gonna have to summon some lolGM to tell him everythings fine or check "community websites"

well what I assumed it was, that I finished an assault, and I went to sign up for the same assault, and I forgot to give my ID to the guy and get a new one, wich meant I still had my old assault orders, and he ported me back there, wich then the blue mage told me the same stuff. shiny badge, new mercenary, rather than the 50 IS leader fee stuff.

Cleric's drink if you're in besieged/nyzul/salvage/einherjar (assuming you can get it from a chest in einherjar)

Only if you are the LS leader that is getting it and plan to break the linkshell soon afterwards.

Can Devil Manta be pulled up while Sneak Fishing in Cape Terrigan? And is there a limit to how many other mobs can be spawned from fishing them up at one time?

I decided to take a break from skilling up on Yellow Globes and am kind of hoping that I can get an Angel Skin at the same time.

[Luto]

AFAIK you can fish one up while sneaked but, the downside is it won't claim to/aggro you. (I think anyways, it happened to me with a crab once when I first got to the camp.)

Much <3 to be had when Spring Water decides to remove Poison rather than Petrify too.
