What is the exp reduction for a LVL 64 on Greater Colibri? other 5 members 75.

Not enough to worry about. I brought my COR out there at 61 or so and did fine, probably about 15~20%? Figure if your party is pulling 20~25k/hr, you'll still make 18~20, which is about the most you'd get from syncing at other bird camps anyway.

Can you get the message for ix'drk from aerns in other rooms/halls?

no

Blu spell acc = normal melee acc +35.

And the INT question makes me cringe tbh lol. INT is only a part of certain magic damage spells. Nothing to do with debuffs or physical spells.

Lol, yeah, that's what I figured. My Blu friend doesn't browse BG cuz he's scared of it. Someone had told him that INT affects the resist rate of Head Butt's stun effect. I'll update him. Thanks.

Okay, one more question. He's raging at me now, over this. To make sure I'm understanding this right, Blue Magic Skill is dmg modifier on spells, while melee Acc affects spell acc directly.

So, SH would be better for Head butt over Blu AF1 body? Yes/No?

Edit: He's still raging about INT affecting resist rate on Head butt. Is this true at all? He's just eyeballing this in random pts.

Any practical use for a Shadow Breastplate, excluding relic owners?

Relic owners have a use for it? If your acc is capped, Ares is still better...

That being said, it's useful if...you're within 4 acc of capping yourself on whatever you're fighting. If you need 6, Aurum. More, Haub. None, Ares.

From both FFXIwiki and BGwiki, i bring you the answer for your Int affecting resist rates on stun from head butt!

BGwiki: Stun chance and duration seems to be related to INT difference between caster and target. Head Butt - BGWiki

FFXIwiki: Additional effect of stun is not guaranteed. Blue Magic Skill and INT effect resist rates. Head Butt - FFXIclopedia - a Wikia Gaming wiki

[Spekkio]

any testing or numbers cited on that wiki post? that seems unusual and i'm hesitant to just take a claim so wild as fact w/o data to prove it.

Reasonable Steel Cyclone piece if you can't get Ares's pieces to drop maybe?

[Kurt Cobain]

was any testing ever done about appraising shit in nashmau vs whitegate?

Quick question regarding PC installations...

I haven't been able to install WotG on my laptop, for some reason it gives me the 'FFXI not installed' error and refuses to proceed. Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling? All the registry entries seem to be in place, the game runs np, etc., so I'm at a loss as to why this error is showing up.

If a reinstall is required, would it be possible to just copy my whole POL/FFXI directory to a backup drive, install the base game, paste the old install on top of the new one and then install WotG so I can avoid having to download a massive update?

It's a great piece for salvage on war. 2hp Regen and high def is nice when you don't need acc.

I use e.body when I need accurary, and breatplate when I'm trying to survive (kiting, tanking) or fight weak shit.

Trying to install a WoTG of a different region(ex. EU on a NA game/pol) by any chance?

Which dancer piece to +1 first/why? Trying to find practical uses for them ect and have about 3-4 hours before JP midnight.

Edit: Also, is there any drg worth +1'ing? I got that piece last night as well. Granted, I'd have to go quest the set first (kinda rushed to 75 and never have solo'd on drg, lol, so no AF). I was thinking the hands until I get heca for WS, but at 20 ABCs, would it just be a waste of gil once I get the heca mitts, which pretty much go freelot in my shell?

they all look terrible but legs for a cure macro?

[el_tio]

THF AF+1 feet still enhance flee, right? Debating between upgrading the body to inflict such a fugly TP piece and upgrading feet so I won't have to take out AF for the fast flee.

don't think so, install is NA and i'm pretty sure the version of wings is as well. i'm not 100% positive, but i think i previously used the same WotG data to install it on my old pc back home when it first came out, never had any problems then. i'll double-check it though
