Random Question Thread VIII: Wait, There's a Sticky?

[Draylo]

Anyone know if af+1 does anything at level 60? I am contemplating tossing my af1 blm gear due to upgrading of pieces. Only 60 cap thing I do is KC BCNM and I wanna make sure I could atleast bind/sleep. I have HQ body and HQ staves, the staves alone should be enough. Worth tossing the AF1 or should I just request it all so I can store it.

Which .dat is the one for the telepoints? They lag me to shit especially dualboxing, would like to keep that from happening if possible, heard about someone switching them out with something else to stop the lag.

It's ROM/3/29.dat. However, I've just tried doing this, replacing it with something normal, and I still get the lag. It appears that it's the pink/purple shit on the ground, rather than the actual telepoint, that's causing the lag. I wouldn't know how to fix that.

I'm using FFXI Calculator 3.17 and not getting 385 racc with merited skill. Could you please show me the math so I can see what I'm doing wrong?

With this setup I would have 253 skill +74 accuracy and 68+44 AGI. Calc has that at 377 Accuracy.

Obviously with aftermath up I can switch a few things out for STR gear. Is there anything immediately that you'd change for that Namas build? Add-on gear is fine, I'm already switching the hat and legs for SAM and could do body as well. Lastly, is sword strap the best option as far as grips? With that build I'll get 21.2 (I think) tp from Namas hitting and my normal TP build has a true 6 hit if I miss.

Thanks for the help, I understand it won't be a clearly defined answer, but at least I'll have a base to start from.

Here, I've been pushing this build since I figured out it was possible but have yet to get someone to try it:

Preliminarily, I'd say you should look for more RAtk, though I don't know where you'll find it.

If you install the old emikostyle you're probably going to crash out the first time someone uses Perfect Defense on you, because that icon isn't referenced in the DAT.

There's a user on the windower forums who updated it with the new icons, but only with english localization (meaning all buff icon text associations are in english only).

Aftermaths affect the WS they are started on, combined with the fact Namas has a lagre accuracy bonus already you can definitely afford to swap in a second STR ring.

Other adjustments would be the new bobcat belt (+8str) if you aren't attempting 5 hit build. The new 6str ring obviously aswell and triumph earring in place of minuet (or you could try for a rattack/str earring from the ACP fei'yin fight which would probably be optimal).

Is there any place better to do trial 791 (ep+ spiders in thunder/wind/fire/light weather) than the boyhada tree? 20 minutes of weather once every 3 hours is getting super old. x.x

Wind weather should be common just outside zahbi.

mnk tier2 merits: what order? penance then invig, vice versa, or stagger? Finishing up my last job (mnk) stuffz. its only used for salvage so i'm not doing formless.

[Maguile]

5/5 penance, then either invigorate or formless strikes (depending on what you use your mnk for, what mobs you fight, etc.)

AF+1 scaled to 60 does nothing, you'd be lucky to get +1 INT out of hat.

thx figured this but wanted to ask first.

Phalanx2 is going to be nearly useless soon with accession (which we'll be using /sch pretty much 95% of the time, since it makes /whm completely useless now that we'll have erase /sch).

/sch will only get one stratagem per 2 minutes, meaning you'll only be able to keep up one buff via accession at a time, and I can't see myself wanting to waste that on phalanx in very many situations.

[Byrthnoth]

Also, there is a rumored Phalanx potency cap at 300 enhancing magic skill, while Phalanx 2 has no determined potency cap. So 5/5 Phalanx 2 will potentially be better both in duration (5 vs. 3 minutes) and potency.

Anyone find a new way to replace the background for chatlogs without blowing the game up?

Currently leveling Rng (level 60).

Are Altdorf's Earring & Wilhelm's Earring worth getting? I already have Altdorf's if it matters and I have a Ruby Earring augmented with R.Atk+4 at 67.

Does koggelmander maze bugard give EXP or just EXP from chests?

I wouldn't say so. There are better choices for earrings in the endgame and the drop rates on those things are somewhat absurd, so definitely not a good idea to try and get them for leveling.

Thanks, I won't bother wasting more time camping Wilhelm then.
