I have a Vista machine and a XP machine, I can just copy the Final Fantansy XI folder from the Vista machine, to the XP machine, to skip the upgrade process?


Already used the CDs to install all expansion on the XP machine.

[Osede]

I'm believe u still need to copy the registry over to vista too. However I don't think you can skip the files check process, but jsut the download part will be skippable.

[gandorf]

For blm, on nukes +7int or +5 elemental magic?

And does anyone happen to know a good set up for Wild wild whiskers?

[gandorf]

Yes it is the P rope bcnm, Ty for set up.

Which sea mobs seem to drop luminian tissue the most?

The ones that you kill when you want to farm for other organs. It's just like trying to farm for coffer keys, they never drop when you want them.

is that the penitent's rope bc?

if so, whm/blm, blm/whm, and nin, whm ele seal silence, gets stuck on burst, they kill it, you win.

I have done it with WHM/BLM, NIN/WAR, and WAR/NIN. I tended to die a lot on WAR/NIN because even at level 60 it is hard to contain my awesome.

Also, don't e-seal silence. Most WHMs can get it to stick the first time, and once it goes unsilenced it will only cast Burst. (At least that is how it was when I did it.)

Is the drop rate on the rope still good? I haven't done it in a while and when I did, it wasn't surprising to walk away from three runs with three ropes.

[solsovly]

It's supposedly around a 50% drop rate.

[Starblaster]

eseal silence just guarantees you get stuck on burst is all

You only need to land silence to make sure it gets stuck on burst, silence that lands for half a second is better than one with a good duration.

Once he gets into the burst -> petri breath -> melee combo, he'll almost never get tp for anything besides petri breath.

If you get stuck with silence never wearing off, you risk seeing charged whisker which can be nasty.

Also, do not not not paralyze it, if anything interrupts burst(melee can't) he'll use charged whisker instead of petri breath. Charged whisker is ~400+ AoE damage and wipes shadows.

Good luck, rope drop rate is 2/3 in my experience.

Does the Black/Oynx set affect Absorb-TP?

Thanks in advance.

[Fiofio]

never mind, i found a solo guide

[Medivac]

who's more retarded, the people who bring a pt of rdm rdm rdm brd blm blm to main pudding camp, or the blms who try and stay camped there anyway

i hate blm

all those people above because farther up the moutain is a better prince camp that is rarely camped.

[Keria]

those wamoura camps seem to be full of 71ish parties lately, so frustrating Q_Q

Why is my server full of RDMs with NQ staves and Vermillion Cloaks? I have HQ Ice and Dark and I'm working towards my third, but should I sell off one or both of those and get a Vermy instead? My plan has been to get Aquilo's/Pluto's/Terra's/Auster's then upgrade to the cloak, is that a good idea, a bad one, or does it even make a difference?

For what it's worth, the reason I've put it off is that I haven't ever felt like I'm lacking MP, except in parties that think RDM PLD DD DD DD DD is a viable set-up. There have been times when the extra MP would have been nice, but never necessary, so I've felt I could make that upgrade as one of my last big ones. plus I just like the names of the HQ staves

[Khajit]

Is there a Database of mob stats such as evasion?
I used to have a link to a bgtopic listing off the stats of all the merit camp monsters but I no longer can find it.
I'm trying to calculate how much acc I need for meat and how much to remove with sushi.

Which sea mobs seem to drop luminian tissue the most?

The one you aren't fighting. (true for every other drop too)


I would say VT/IT phuabo for tissue drop rate (seem to give one pretty often and I rarely kill those). Got the most tissue of Aern while farming HQ organ/ix'drk//ix'drg

Does the Black/Oynx set affect Absorb-TP?

Thanks in advance.

Black/Onyx affects the duration of absorb spells, not potency...so my money's on no.

I think as long as your account was created before July this year (not sure about the month) you'll be able to get it if you didn't during the original event. Just go to one of the Moogles in the main towns to get it. I think it's Festive Moogle, but not sure. In San d'Oria, it would be one of the Moogles just outside Port Sandy MH.

Hiya Corin!

V.Cloak is a luxury item for Rdm. Don't worry about getting it unless you have nothing better to get. That being said, Stay on track with the HQ Staves you plan to get. The benefit of them is worth the investment. In the event you downgrade staves, don't sell Pluto's since Sleep is one spell you never want to see resisted (unless you're Nin/Drk tanking and it doesn't matter).

I don't know if I would stay in that setup. It wouldn't be horrible, but you'd be much better off with a Brd instead of the Pld. Plus you're Rdm, you're allowed to be picky
