Hm, I'm not quite sure I get the first part of your post. Are you saying you lose a good amount of melee accuracy?

I'm wondering if I should be worried about melee accuracy. Or just go max ranged accuracy? All the best ranged acc rings have a ton of negative acc. Or should I have both?

[Raen Ryong]

I'd just macro in the racc rings when you shoot; as you get to using a Joytoy etc you won't be shooting for TP all that much.

Carry both, though I didn't really melee at all until Joyeuse due to needing to keep Marksmanship up to date.

I don't have any jobs leveled that are generally taken on an Up in Arms run. If I were the orb trader and I were able to dual box my friend's PLD to play as. Could I enter, exit with the other 2 still in, and then enter as my PLD to play as?

Yea, but u know how assholes are with the whole "I wont' go unless its the perfect set up" deal

If you have the key item for the uncapped ENM, you cannot. Snow lily or the moblin's 2k warp both require you hand it in. The gates can be done with 2 people if one of them has flee though.

Quick question:
Does anyone knows if the SCNM helms are 100% drop or any idea of the drop rate on them?
Thank you.

[Drunkenmonk]

helm shares a slot with the earring, the slot is 100%

[Guyverarmor]

Does TH affect the drop rate for the Ochimusha Kote? I know some people say since it can only drop either item, it doesn't affect it. While others say that it does. Can anyone shed any light on this?

People have been taking steps to further their understanding of exactly what Treasure Hunter 1 & 2 actually do, but the general consensus(which is based on pretty agreeable logic) is that because one of the drops is 100%, Treasure Hunter won't have an effect. Whether or not TH actually forces prioritization is completely up in the air, to my knowledge.

[Guyverarmor]

Thanks Suko. I got my R/E Khyahan after 3 tries. I have killed him 4 times so far, and no dorps except cheap H2H weapon. But from what people have told me, I will probably be there all week. -_-

[Tsuko_Asura]

Probably. The most common scenario is that you go ~1/1 on one of them, and then 1/200 on the other.

There's a section on breaking fishing rods in Kida's FFXI Fishing Database - Guide

Thank you. Helped alot but not too quick for my taste. Way harder to break a rod under this new system.

Another quick question: I can't seem to find when the registration server maint starts and ends. I can't seem to find it in POL News. All I know is that it happens during the billing period. Since I pay with a debit, I need to watch this shit. :O

2 Windower questions!

When I use windower, sometimes when I zone into or out from my mog house (any zone), after all the "downloading data" I just get a black screen with drawdistance and partyTP showing and I have to type /shutdown. Any ideas what causes that?

And also since I updated to the latest version, whenever I /shutdown I get the "PlayOnline Viewer has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will clo..." message. Any idea why? Yes, I use lolVista

My friend, who also has Vista, has that same problem. Not sure what's causing it but thought I should let you know that it isn't only you.

As for my random question, In the What's Better thread, there was a link to an alla page and while reading that page, there was a link to another page, Allakhazam.com: Final Fantasy XI: Ninja , where I found this chart
