Random Fail II: I duped Salvage items and all I got was this lousy LM-17.

Just kind of funny coming from the ppl that fought it for so long a few days prior that their tank can't hold hate anymore and all their mages kept being drawn in to die. Not to mention the repeated Gates they themselves were unable to stun to the point that their ppl started falling to the ground.

No Cerb claim = need to attention whore and QQ. Sorry we took your bread n butter for a day.

Yup a few days before we did have a few GoH get off. Had 10 characters there, i think 6 or 7 of them were real people. 1 tank from start to finish, 1 bard for the whole fight (and i have enm merits lol) and 1 whm for the majority of the fight. so it was easy for us to get to the hate cap. from the pictures i've seen you guys had at least 14 people on 14 accounts. not only that we had 3 full linkshells standing on top of us trying to lag us out. make your own conclusions.

edit: the only gates that got off were when our 3 stuns were all bound by recast timers. damn those recast timers!

Weapon bash is your friend.

I guess from farming Ix'DRG pops all the time I have more Aern organs than anyone could ever hope for. Sharks never drop for me, and the Xzomits end up killing me because I'll get unlucky with a resist before I can kill the mama and collect her organ.

go to dem, sleep back xzomit, nuke down main, zone, repeat
takes like 45 min to get 10 organs solo on blm, possibly less.. dem ones only have one pet and still 100% organ from main

[Aksannyi]

Like I said, I just get unlucky, nearly constantly, lol.

[Thorny]

get better gear/merits, only gimps blame luck

[Aksannyi]

I'm fully merited, and I can show you my gear if I like. I will get 50% resists on nukes every time I do it, so I gave up solo farming them. You can ask anyone, I really do have the shittiest luck ever, lol.

[Thorny]

chance of a half resist with full merits on blm with hq staffs is ~5%
chance of a second half resist in a row is ~0.25%
chance of a 3rd is ~0.014%

i don't care how bad your luck is, it's not happening that many times.. either you suck at soloing and are making excuses or you just want to whine about how hard it is to get organs

Seriously? We low manned that fight w/ 7 people 10 accounts. Nothing i could do about hate, as well as we all know it caps at some point and we happened to reach that due to a long fight. For the record, 1 person fell to the ground who was being dualboxed. Gates going off were inevitable because we had like 2 stuns lol. Even when those gates went off I took them like a champ and didnt die. I like how you forgot to mention we had 10 accounts total. Get your story straight before you talk shit.

orrrr you are making up numbers

[Thorny]

orrrr you are making up numbers

assuming 95% stick rate since it's pretty much assumed cap is at least 95%, then chance of resist is 5% and chance of 2 in a row is .05^2, 3 is .05^3 etc.. though i've also heard stick rate caps at 99% which makes it even less likely

my blm mule(which had pretty meh gear) had no problems getting xzomit organs.. got 20 of them in a bit over 90 min for a friend's virtue stones without any deaths while doing something else on main

[Deader2818]

So you're telling me there's a chance.

[Wenslydale]

-wrong thread-

[Maaglin]

Aern organs are the easiest! Fuck squids and sharks.

Oh, and yovras >.>

Squids what? 100% drop what?

Sharks are also easy. The Om's have better drop rate.

I think it's the goldfish you are confusing. They are fucking horrible.

[Aksannyi]

I always had good luck with goldfish ... I guess I'm just weird.

[Fredjan]

I hated aerns on BLM sometimes. Because you can't tell what job they are at first and the possibility of RR. I especially hated the ones resistant to grav(THF?)/sleep(PLD). Sharks were pretty easy; you can time sleep well on them. I'd just sleep/nuke, 'refresh' my stoneskin, and aspir when needed. That said, I mostly did Eo'aerns because of HQ organs and soloing Ix'MNK is easy, so I'd potentially get a deed or a vice (which I got on second try soloing but it wasn't really a solo, had help from two bored friends).

Xzomits are only 100% if they're with smaller ones following it. Smaller ones aren't. If the xzomit is on its own naturally, it is not 100%.

[fishstix]

You mean people arent capped on Aern organs from farming ix'drg until the end of time?

[Dr_Crusis]

not only that we had 3 full linkshells standing on top of us trying to lag us out.

Because having people standing there patiently doing nothing but watching you is completely the same thing as having you guys sitting on top of us spamming magic and emoting to try to make our stunners fire. I'm glad that WT got some enhancing skillups though, congrats to them, maybe they can cap their stoneskin now.

And GC, your f'n comments about the Aegis being the only things keeping us from wiping are pretty stupid, seeing as it's all that kept you from wiping. Glass houses are pretty.

Isn't FFXI fun?

haha, ^ is how I get all mine.

[Yeager]

I posted this in the "OMG Crafts" thread, but I think this thread is more appropriate for the screenshot.

Not only did I Tier 0 HQ my guild rank up test item....the item is also pretty much worthless!

BTW, the keyboard mashing....I WAS PISSED!!! Had to blow MORE gil just to make an NQ to trade in because the stupid guild won't accept a HQ for rank up.
