Random Question Thread VI: I'm No Mathologist, But...

[ronin sparthos]

Hm, what would be a good median level to fight level 32-37 mobs in a party?

[Dramafinderftw]

So what do I need to do? Am I going to need to make a second SE account? Does it have to be on my same CC? Will I (eventually) need to buy another security token, or can I register the one from my main
account?

Make another POL account, then you can add that account your token.

That's it? I've had the token forever, that doesn't matter? So I can make this POL account, register it with my Square Enix account, put the same token as my main account on it, and have both accounts up and running, at the same time?

That seems... way too easy, too reasonable. We are talking about FFXi? From SE?

edit - Do I still get 30 days of free subscription for using the new CD keys with a new account? It's asking for my CC info, I'd like to know if I'm getting charged for this month or not.

We usually go with pretty low numbers, if we have extra they go cor(one WC is worth 5 2hrs, at 1/3 rate that puts a cor's value at 5/3 a 2hr).


KC, yea. Our group is pretty tight and shares them though, so people 2hring get them.


Possible, but it's still something to account for. DRK moving so TA for feint missed, few hits missing, w.e, still absurd to advocate minuet for DRKs..

I wasn't really advocating minuet for DRK zerg, I think you vastly overrate DRK for that fight unless you have 2 KCs and are limited to 2 DDs. War/sam, Sam/war, 1 drg/sam do very well (even drk/sam with just a normal weapon, can still SE a guillotine). I still think that the acc you see was because feint was slow/etc, but then again, if that's the norm, SV Madrigal may be worth it in the end.

Regardless though, you still only need 1 brd 2hr, because SV on the 2nd march does nothing at all.

Yes this will work.

Not sure about this.

what the fuck

While I aggree with Thorny (and others who shared the same sentiment), I'm more concerned about lacking dusk gloves atm in a tp set for yoichi sam...unless of course you are 100% shooting for tp, in which case let the whoosh commence.

I feel a bit silly in asking this but can you drop a bonanza marble and buy another?

I know there is a limit of 10 marbles you can have in your possession but it turns out one of my marbles is an exact match to the rank 1 winner from 2008. I didn't realize it at the time and now I'm a bit worried about dropping it and the moogle saying I reached my limit of purchasing marbles and hence not being able to buy a replacement.

Part of me is tempted to just keep it and hope I get lucky with the lesser ranks.

[tonystigma]

Sneak attack--> feint---> hide---> engage.

Feint doesn't stack with Sneak Attack, watch your icons next time you use both. It'll land on the next attack round.

Are you sure? i was under the distinct impression it did... Well, It could have been Sneak Attack on main hand landed, feint landed on offhand, but i usually use SA to land feint...

but im usually dual wielding =o

[Drabblecox]

Do Martial Knuckles affect Dragon Kick while under the effect of Footwork?

Even dual wielding, Feint won't land until the next attack round.

[seiji]

does saber dance overwrite itself or do you need to cancel it to get back max DA rate?

[Cooleko]

Hm, what would be a good median level to fight level 32-37 mobs in a party?

think goblin furriors outside of kazham near the OP, maybe 23-7, what mob you are targeting and what jobs you are taking factor into the surviveability

[Asmoranomar]

Anyone have a low-man dynamis-xarc guide or what/where to farm xarc after you clear the line?

[Xaru]

yea fig this best place to ask

was about july 9th started sellin all my gear and sent it over to a mule and del. my main toon
I was wondering if i could call SE or do something see if i could get that char back with all the stuff on it or is it to late for that? or would they not do or has any1 else done this that might know what to do?? thank u

lolToon.

So you sent all your gear from your main to a mule, then deleted your main--and now you want SE to restore your main with all the original gear (that is now on your mule)?

They can probably restore the character and most items it had at the point you deleted it, but they won't duplicate items you've sent elsewhere.

Clippers in Bat Downs (S). I wanted to try them since there are 10ish pops and they are alot easier to access than the jungle (dont get me started on people who take the boat and thus take forever ._.).

Just need a good level to start if they are lvl 32-37.

[Karbuncle]

Just went to test this in Zi'tah, You're wrong.

Went out, Sneak Attack/AC + Feint on a Goblin Robber, all 3wore on the same attack.

Oh shit! Random question: when did they patch that? >_>

What's the strat to solo Vivian as RDM/NIN or if anyone has a link to a video somewhere

[Kiine]

Anyone have a low-man dynamis-xarc guide or what/where to farm xarc after you clear the line?

I'm assuming "low man" to be 10-15 range and 'line' to be the eye wall.

Using the colored map @ ffxiwiki's Dyna-X page, you can farm the following:
Kill eyes 97&98. This will be six mobs + wyvern.

Kill 99-101. You may be able to snipe single eyes, but don't count on it.

Avoid 102/103 by hugging north wall, and head east to second ramp.

Have thf sac pull 117-120 (mostly SMN mobs) to west, dying near the "U" in "Upper" along North wall. As sac is progressing, alliance move up ramp to NE and establish camp at safe distance.

After recovery, can kill 125/126, 123/124, 121/122, 115/116 with ease.

Sacpull & alliance wipe 106-109 to the middle of path to SW, and can finish up killing 110/111, 113/114. Watch for 112 re-pop.
