It's not for being able to get to AU, it was just neat to have a HP that no longer can be set.

Can you not change jobs and exit MH to Al Zahbi to set HP anymore?

[clef]

Nope, they changed it a long time ago to alleviate congestion for Beseiged or something.

That blows, my HP hasn't changed from Port Bastok since the Lure of the Wildcat > WG for 300 gil thing came out. To answer your question, I doubt a GM would restore that for you.

Yeah seems the only way would be to roll back my character. Anyone want my account info? :\

Olduum Ring, man. Olduum Ring.

As for Flash, if your divine skill is really nubbins then mobs will resist. Pots, eyes, soulflayers and anything else with a magic shield TP move can resist Flash regardless of skill while the shield is active.

On extremely rare occasions, I have had mobs completely resist Flash while not under the affect of any kind of magic shield. It seems to happen slightly more frequently with Light based mobs. If I had to ballpark it, I'd say Flash has a 99.9% chance to not be completely resisted.

Is setting your homepoint in Whitegate that big of a deal? Seems most people just set their homepoint in their starting town and just NPC warp or Olduum Ring warp to the ToAU areas when needed.

Do ranged attacks from the mob-bane weapons still give skillups although the hit for 0? I saw a screenshot taken of it working after the update that got rid of 0 damage hit skillups.

[Valyana]

Let's see...the last time I got a throwing skillup off a hit for 0 was in July 2006, and I've been skilling it up recently (with Mamoolbane).

[Max™]

I had an Al Zahbi HP, changed it a week or so before they changed it.

T.T

[Ragnus]

Yea I was just wondering before I dropped the ISP on one. lol

[Valyana]

I <3 my Mamoolbane for pulling with /ra when I don't care about TP.

[Amele]

I really have no clue... but it's not 100/100/100 for sure...It's 300/200/100 or 300/300/300.

they're 300/200/100. do it without a hagun and it's really obvious.

with hagun it's 300/300/200 -> allow for pdif variation and it's easy to see how someone could mistake a 200 for a 300.

man I thought this question had been put to rest but obviously I'm mistaken. Does THF pt have to kill for treasure hunter effect to kick in?

I was under the impression TH is an effect and isn't limited to a single PT but to all members in the alliance/BC. An LSmate who was at fan festival 2007 said during an interview they mentioned it was pt only. Does anyone have a link to pertinent interview information on this topic?

you're correct, SE said it themselves this is how TH works, I don't have a link offhand though.

"For TH to be active THF must perform an action on the target. Does not have to be killing strike."

Thanks that's probably what the LSmate was referring to, sadly that doesn't mention THF pt vs whole alliance.

[Max™]

As we all said at some point after they said that.

"So basically, the Thf could do ANYTHING to get on hate list, log out, uninstall, toss their computer out a window after setting it on fire, and shoot themselves... but as long as the mob doesn't go unclaimed/regen to full, TH should still be on it."

[VZX]

Must perform an action to target basically, in game mechanic term, is generating the hate. If you logged out and the monster is somehow looking for the THF and it can't find it, does that mean the THF hate is cleared out from the monster?
Same question for the case if the THF got charmed. Does the hate really lost (and consequently, the TH effect also lost) ?

Well, if we can assume TH works the same as Gilfinder (one being for Gil and the other being for Treasure), then it should stick. I've had a thf wipe to Serket before and I picked it up and he HP'd. When I finished it off, I got 30k gil instead of the usual 20k I get for solo'ing Serket. I look at it as a debuff with the thf sticking it on the mob and it staying afterwards, no matter what happens to the thf.

Quick question, as I couldn't find a clear answer so far, if I want to re-do a (coffer) piece of a particular AF set, do I just need to reset the quest and re-do that particular part?
I have upgraded one piece of a set and never use the other pieces anymore...
