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

[rog]

I wasn't trying to insult you, I was making a more general observation that the BG community tends to correct....sarcastically (to be nice).

If I was offended by it or didn't expect it, then I would go to lollakhzam.

Not that you'd have got a much different response on zam...

Does Wyvern HP gear have to be worn to receive the bonus or can you just macro it in for Call Wyvern?

You have to macro it in for the breath i think.

[Stromgarde]

Wyvern hp from gear is calculated dynamically. However, there is a bit of a delay between equipping it and actually registering, which may cause you to not benefit from the additional wyvern hp on short casting time triggers such as foot kick unless you take this delay into account.

So I need to do DM soon (gogo ZM completion) but I honestly don't think I can make use of any of these earrings. I have SMN and I'm doing SCH next. I honestly don't know what to pick and was wondering if any of you had some input. D: I might level blu at some point if it helps.

[Mercilessturtle]

For mages do Abyssal for your aspir set and a free 2 int earring. If you actually do blu then you'll want Suppanomimi.

[Chen]

can't you just leave the item waiting for you and pick it up when you're sure? but yea, you have SCH, unless you have novio i'd get abysall

The free +2 int earring is hot, but as mentioned, Abyssal offers a +5 to dark magic that is not obtainable from any other ear item. If you plan to full-time mage jobs, then Abyssal is a great choice. However, if you plan to level a variety of jobs, then your choice is Suppanomimi or I wish I got Suppanomimi.

Hmm, I think I'll do Abyssal for /sch aspir use/sch use. And if I need to later redo for Suppa. Thanks!

I was gonna get Cassandra/Helenus for sch. But for dark magic stuff I should use abyssal. hmm.

[Caerloc]

Anyone know where all the mindgazers are in Uleguarand range? I need amorph in ice weather/day and I remember seeing a tunnel with a ton of them. I just don't remember where the hell they were.

ONe of the tunnels you drop down into on the slope down towards enm cave. In fact there are 4-6 or so near ENM item area but I think, if you hit the hole in the slope you slide into a few more.

Is there any server with a strong EU population and a healthy pug-culture?

Alexander has a fairly strong EU population with 2 large endgame shells and a ton of other peeps.

Know which hole this is? That zone has a million of them.

Oh my fucking god...

Was just wondering if there was an easier way to do Iron Anvil III (and I'm guessing IV will be similar later on) without having to alt-tab between FFXI and wiki... remembering some of these 8 mat recipes is proving more difficult at times... :/

I think Kirschy posted something a while back about Dark Magic Skill having a potency cap for Drain/Aspir, at which point Abyssal v Helenus/Cassandra's would be a sidegrade aside from being able to use Loq Earring (which more often than not would have no effect on when you next cast those spells). Just something to keep in mind; right now Abyssal's basically your only real option but Suppa's pretty attractive, especially for BLU. Might be worthwhile to do the quest then hold off on picking your reward until you've got a better idea of what you're doing for other jobs in the future, provided that doesn't impede your mission progress. Getting people together for a DM run can be a pain at times.

I don't know how you're doing it, but going to the ffxiclopedia Iron Anvil III page for your nation has a list of all the possible recipes and ingredients. That's about as simple as it gets. If you're looking for an in-game recipe lookup, I don't know of one.

Yeah, the way I'm doing it now is just alt-tabbing when the line stating what item they want comes up, trying to memorize the mats from the wiki list, tabbing back in and picking them from memory. Sometimes with the longer recipes it'll throw me off by having similarly named mats, for example ram leather and ram horn, or fish scales and pugil scales.

I guess I was just after some more convenient way of doing it (be it some kind of recipe-plugin or something else)
