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

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.

That doesn't matter really, you just get the bc icon with a description that says "DEBUG: please report" or something like that. I had composure like that for months because i was too lazy to update my icons lol.

Changetex isn't working anymore?

It worked fine last time i used it.

does anyone else's computer crash and get this ?

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

The answer is no. FFFF. Thought I came up with a brilliant way for me and other bravura to get productive WSP.

Anyone happen to have that really big HD version of the FFXI Atlas Amano painting fold-out?

Is there any way to block anyone with the prefix QUE in thier name? There's noone important enough for me to give a shit about hearing on my server with that prefix anyway.

Chatmon can do that.

[Khajit]

Care to explain how?

[cdgreg]

Has anyone tried shantotto fight SMN burn style since the "fix"? Wondering how it went.

[Tirrock]

Care to explain how?

you may now prefix a line with :: in your spamfilter_custom.txt and do expressions like so

::strmatch("%sender%","Lev*") AND strmatch("%msg%", "*gil*")

This would block any message with gil in it if the name started with Lev, ie the RMT on Leviathan.

http://forums.windower.net/topic/111...5&#entry191965

Replace "Lev" with "Que" and "gil" with whatever you want blocked and there you go.

I've actually not had a single RMT tell since moving to quetzalcoatl, just using chatmon, and I haven't even put in custom filters.

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.

Thanks, yeah it's the stupid glow on the ground rather than the actual telepoint but I was hoping it would remove that too. Drats. Back to square one... I wish I could find that post where someone claimed they swapped it out with something thus eliminating the lag. I assume you would have to do a full zone change .dat (which is possible) to eliminate the stuff on the telepoints. Anyone know how? Me love you long time

What was the highest Aspir you could see pre-update?

Kicking myself for not SSing it now but..

Higher than I'd ever seen before, only new thing was swapping Dark Skill earring to Hirudinea. 0 Dark merits, Darksday and obviously 2x dark weather.

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.

Racc from skill = 227 (200 + 30*.9)
Racc from base agi = 35 (70/2)
Racc from yoichi = 20
Racc from kabura = 3
Racc from WS bonus (Namas) = 100

Recall the request was regarding Sam Yoichi WS ("any SAMs with Yoichi that could post your ws builds")

The +100 bonus on WS (single hit) has been tested often enough. That it applies to relic ranged WS is fairly apparent.

Soboro/Sword?/Yoichi/Kabura
MKD/HopeTorque/Bushi/Minuet
Osode/Skote/Behe+1/Rajas
Am+1/Bucc/Hachi/Hachi

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.

I think you can see, starting with 385 racc without gear, archery merits and aftermath, you don't really need much if any racc gear in merits, e.g., at birds. In dynamis, allowing for aftermath and roughly 30 racc from gear, I think one would be capped racc-wise.

If I have passed the 30 day mark with 0 campaign xp. How much campaign XP do I need for wing rank to get promoted?

I don't think this is known with certainty. The patterns people are posting "seem" to suggest that the requirements are a combination of AN and XP with some sort of escalation of the required value as one delays past the initial 5 day window after the medal period started.

I.e., the amount after 5 days is fairly well known (give or take a couple campaign battles), but it grows to some (as of yet) unpredictable value as you delay past day 5. Going AWOL in campaign draws a penalty.

[mdkuser]

trying to math Love halberd versus 480 delay polearms.

Wiki says "double attack and occ. att.twice from jailer weapons stack". This means that you can do a tripple attack? ( never happened to me..). Would it proc on a WS?

also what is the OAT rate? 50%?

[Shinryuu]

It means that they proc independently, so yes, 'triple attack' can happen. OAT is 50%.

[Raen Ryong]

I haven't used one of the jailer weapons in a long time, but as far as I recall:

1. OAT is ~50%
2. As far as I remember, you can perform three attacks with it.
3. The OAT does not proc on WS.

[Shinryuu]

Yeah as a WAR using Fort axe you have a 11% probability of triple attacking.

[Raen Ryong]

My THF weeps.

My highest non-weather Aspir is 138 with 16 less skill than you and no Hirudinea Earring. 138*1.35 = 186. 189 is only 3 above that, which could well be explained by your extra 16 skill and doesn't necessarily reflect the Hirudinea Earring doing anything.

That said, I'd love to see more testing on this and it'd be fantastic if you could figure out what the earring is doing so I know whether or not I have to get one. =p

[Athas]

What update are we talking about? I believe I've seen a 200+ Aspir in dyna once or twice.
