is there a windower command or plugin to mute/unmute or change the game volume?

Is there a way to 6hit an engetsuto on WAR/SAM without rajas?

[Callisto]

With Rose Strap and Aurum/Askar bodies you should be able to pull it off counting Penta returns, natural you can get with Rose/Aurum/Chiv/Atilla's/Ecphoria, but that sounds kinda blah to TP in.

I have a THF mule I mostly use for farming. Currently I've been farming mobs that give him exp and now that I have capped buffer, I've started gaining merits. I've never leveled THF (got account with it at 75 already) and have no idea where to put them. What's the best order to help me kill faster and eventually be useful for possible events? He has no merits so far.

this might sound dumb, but... is there a way to beat einherjar t3 behemoth other than zerg? because whenever he stuns more than twice, it's pretty much over....

all luck, closest i've gotten was to send in a full buff DDpts at a time with, got it to 5% before timing out, needs to be a wave1 KB though(for time) and pray he doesnt thunderbolt spam, otherwise strap an aegis over your nuts n wish em luck on zerg

It would really depend on what you plan on doing, if you are fighting very low level mobs you won't really benefit from anything other then triple attack and sneak attack merits, if your fighting higher level mobs / nm's feint is the go to first merit. Same with if you plan on doing anything involving a group - Feint, Feint, Feint IMHO.

In regards to thief though - I haven't played for the past few updates(3 or so) and noticed they added quite a few new things for thief - but none of it looks all that great; especially the weapons. Is there anything in past few updates worth replacing Blau/Sirro with?

Unless you get lucky with a good Fane Baselard, not really.

is armored chariot particularly more evasive than the other salvage bosses? we haven't put any time in on him, but we just picked up a 35 in zhayolm and gave him a shot today. admittedly, i didn't have head/neck/weapon, so i was missing +24 acc. used marinara pizza +1. only 1/8 h2h merits, though that will go up before our next AR run.
.

It's about as evasive as a MMJ infiltrator. Probably requires 330-340 ish accuracy to cap. I've done some runs where I would only get 80%-85% as full usu monk with meat. Pizza is a must.

also, im a fairly well geared mnk, and my punches were doing 33-34 dmg each (as opposed to 70-90 on other chariots). any thoughts? we were using march/march to compensate for gear loss, with dia2.

I think you didn't have STR. You can check the vid in my sig, my punches do about 50-80 and my asuran ifsts ~700-800, that's with Pizza. You should be doing the same damage with double marches.

STR can be farmed on Ramparts on chariot's floor, as well as the 6th floor : 2 doors pop when you open the tele door, and their pet can drop STR.

As the name implies, it has higher defense than the others by a fair margin. I never noticed high evasion, but I rarely melee in salvage anyway.

No. lol. The boss with highest defense is zhayolm.

On the subject of scythes, Tredecim > Moliones' set? Other ideas for someonew ho's nowhere near Perdu and no vendetta earring?

other gear:
Pole grip
bomblet
Askar head/ Nhead/ Walmart if needed
Hauberk+1
dusk / taru RSE2 (65 hp 6 str)
rajas / moliones
brutal / assault
foragers w/dex+1
swift / warwolf (thinking of getting swordbelt+1 or something)
haste3 7 acc blitzer/ black cuisses
aurum feet

gimp,etc.

[Raen Ryong]

Moliones set is always better if you can 6hit and if Tred set is not 5hit.

What would be the minimum crew for Jailer of Justice? I'm thinking 2 BLM/SCH + 1 BRD/NIN for adds and one meleeburn party for the actual jailer, but it has been a while since I've killed him and we always overkilled in the past.

Sleep SAMs when charmed, RDM should have hate in the instance both get charmed.

Spellcast help -

A. Is there a way for spellcast to check for consumable items in your inventory? More specifically, can it check for a temporary consumable item?
B. If not, is there a way for spellcast to detect the use of a consumable item? More specifically, can it detect the use of a temporary consumable item?

BLMs use T4s I presume? Also, we don't necessarily need it to be quite that "low-man".

Would:
BRD/WHM
WHM/SCH
RDM/BLM
SAM/NIN
SAM/NIN
THF/NIN

+
BLM/SCH
BLM/SCH
BRD/NIN

work? If we don't alliance up then we can keep Mijin damage outside of the main party, right? My biggest concern with setups like this is that the BLMs will end up running out of MP. Should we push for a RDM in the outside party too?

How well would a lone kraken drk zerg work vs. an uncapped ANNM boss? Looking to give these a shot with as few people as possible.

[Nishida]

When doing FoV Augment NMs..if I augment a level 30 piece of gear is it better to do it with the associated level cap NM or is a 75 cap one going to still give a good augment?

[Yubar]

When is March/March better than March/Minuet? Because, I ran into a mnk a few days ago saying that march/march wasn't good unless he had full Usukane.

[Rasantath]

I recall, once upon a time, that I once had removed the opening music both from POL Viewer and Character Select screen (etc), but I don't remember how. I believe it was simply a matter of removing some .dats. Would anyone happen to know those .dats or have a program to do this for me? If so, please link.
