Random Question Thread X: Fucking 99 Level Cap, How Does it Work?

[homerun]

Can the VNM items for Magian OAT weapons be collected & count before the trial requiring them is active?

you can collect them but you can't turn them in till you are on the proper trial

[Snprphnx]

question on mob AI. If a mob has the choice between casting a spell or using a TP move, which will it prefer to use?

My direction with this is, can a mob be locked into not casting and spamming TP, or even not casting as often if you are feeding it lots of TP (soboro, m.kris, k.club, etc)

[Byrthnoth]

Mage monsters still cast in Dynamis, so I'm going to guess that casting magic takes priority over using TP moves. Or, at least, no matter how fast you hit the monster it's always going to have a brief second after it uses a TP move where it has 0 TP, and then it decides to cast.

[Thorny]

I know that you can't have same trial active at once, but are you saying that 2 different OAT trial can't be active at same time (e.g. Dagger and Gun)?

You need to be wearing the weapon when you trade to the crate, and there's a confirmation message 'deliver the eye of verthandi for athame?' or something like that. It's impossible to mess up.

[Cybaster]

I just went and checked. Using Lv1 with Athame still at MH, I'm still able to trade to the crate. But, yeah there's a confirmation. Not sure if this will become multiple choice or something else after I get a different OAT trial with same item.

Since it's not worth making a whole new thread... I left FFXI when the last of the 3 mini-expansion was released and i'm looking to come back to it since Aion didn't cut it for me even when i hit the cap and focused on the main aspects of the game.
I'm reading a lot of new stuff/NMs have been added...

Could anyone give me the low-down on what has been added/nerfed during that time?

Ib4: nothing..

I'd appreciate a full detailed list without sarcasm

[Nightfyre]

stat+6 rings and a few other shinies from VNM, Fiat Lux and the corresponding drops, Trial of the Magians which ties in with VNM and potentially offers dramatic improvements over existing options depending on the job in question. Don't think anything got nerfed.

EDIT: Synergy got new stuff, PUP got a boost to H2H skill and some automaton tweaks, SMN finally got their new avatars but they're only active during 2hr.

[ZhiGaruda]

Your best best may lie in going on OtherWiki and just looking at the version updates. They have a comprehensive list of all items / quests / etc added in the update(s), and is much more likely to give you want you want than having 30 people telling you one random fact.

[ZhiGaruda]

Lazy mode for you, go.

Yes, Neo confirmed it iirc.

What daggers from Magian Trial should I get for DNC?

[Darkmagi]

acc/dex mainhand, dmg+ OAT offhand

[Tobi]

While on the topic of Magian Trials, any sword worth picking up for BLU from it? I'm still pretty new to whole Magian Trials thing since I haven't played much recently. I just currently use Perdu/Koggel for BLU atm, wondering if there's something better from MT.

[Diddy Kong]

acc/dex mainhand, dmg+ OAT offhand

Should I get 2 evasion ones, or just one and offhand OAT for solos?

[Darkmagi]

Depends what you would be soloing but if you have the spare time you might as well get 2 evasion ones too.

For DDing, Antea (OAT+DMG) would be an upgrade. The +magic accuracy sword is also potentially useful.

If they add more trials, I can see Nobilis (the high damage one) becoming good as well.

[Diddy Kong]

What to merit first for DNC? I know I am going to go 5/5 Haste Samba and Reverse Flourish. 1 Saber Dance, 1 Fan Dance, 3 No Foot Rise, and 5 Closed Position, just not sure which to get first.

[Darkmagi]

haste samba 5/5 first easily.
