af1+1 legs or body for rdm? i have hat already

[Andradi]

Much of a muchness really, body is a few MP for your hMP set (which you probably have a refresh body to use for anyway?) legs might but probably won't let you drop some mind in places for Stoneskin.

Can you widescan Gurfurlur or do you have to get next to/inside his chamber?

you can solo check him but you need to go in the true sight zone IIRC, it is @ K12 on the map.

Excuse me?

Also, get body.

Getting repetitive etc, but idc, hopefully someone who knows what the fuck is going on will read this.

Following this link: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/dow...l?pageID=media , I am failing miserably to install FFXI. If I install the WIN7 version of POL, I get an error message when I insert my FFXI disc saying "The PlayOnline Viewer has not been installed, please install it before attempting to install FFXI". On the other hand, if I install POL from the original CD and then I install FFXI, and then I overwrite POL with the WIN7 patch, I get an error message when clicking "Play" that says "Cannot run FFXI as it has not been installed".

Any ideas?

So yeah, will suck cocks for successful answers.

Edit: issue apparently solved, I was being dumb and installed the US client -.-

I mean like, I don't have to pass Big Bomb or anything right? I can do it from anywhere on that map?

Cinquedea: Delay 156 ∆TP = 4.8% (latent effect STP+5 when TP>100%)

In your math, aren't you assuming that this sTP+5 is active permanently? This might skew results a bit.

I don't understand why adding Haste or Double Attack should affect the position of the two daggers since these are just constant multipliers and since neither dagger has innate double or triple attack, they should affect each dagger equally.

nope, gotta go in the true sight area. But this can be done solo either with sleep or reraise.

I cant remember what I did, but it is possible to 2box while using 7 as I do. My problem however is being unable to use a true fullscreen as I used to on Vista. Sorry this doesnt help, but I just wanted to let ya know it is possible,

Could you possibly post some of your settings here? Like file compatibility, location of ffxi and windows directory. Are you using 2 different versions of windower? Any kind of info would be awesome because I am at a loss.

If you kill an archaic mirror, does it's 2 pets despawn? I'm trying to chi solo lil akapulo and the damn mirror is right here w/ 2 lamia

[Cream Soda]

nope they're still here fml

[Thorny]

should be enough space to kite it without going near mirror/lamia, it moves slow as hell

[Cream Soda]

kk just finished akapulo, wulugaru will be a sinch. For Nuhn, is there more kiting room than Lil akapulo has? Would be a bit risky if his space isn't larger.

I seem to think it's a larger area....at the very least it's more round and probably provides an easier kiting path.

Except Nuhn is a cheating mother fucker and sometimes goes over the rocks right at you. GNASH GNASH GNASH

How much Store TP is needed to achieve a 5-hit and 6-hit build using Ranger? Assuming sub warrior or samurai.

Yeah I talked about the tp>100% part, though as dnc Im almost always >100% when Im not wsing. Which I don't when Im trying to maintain tp.

I think though haste is constant, the more haste you add the more you increase the gap between the two TPs, which makes sense if its an acceleration actually.

What really throws me off is DA, which appears to straight up favor not the higher TP weapon but instead the fastest one...

Derp...?

(100 - (Tp return from hit * sTp) ) / 5 = how much tp you need to get per hit.

Im sure you can figure the rest out from there.

[Raen Ryong]

I think though haste is constant, the more haste you add the more you increase the gap between the two TPs, which makes sense if its an acceleration actually.

You'll increase the gap in absolute numbers but not in terms of a percentage. This is simply because 5% difference at 100 and 105 is still a 5% difference at 1000 and 1050 but obviously the absolute numbers are further apart for instance.

What really throws me off is DA, which appears to straight up favor not the higher TP weapon but instead the fastest one...

If I swing 100 times with 10% DA, the end result is 110 swings. If in the same time I swing 50 times with 10% DA, the end result is 55 swings. 110 is still twice 55 and they've both increased by the same percentage so DA shouldn't affect either weapon disproportionately (this would not be the case if a DA'd hit could DA again).
