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

[Havok]

Can anyone direct me to a working latent checker program for trial/nyzul weapons?

Dyna Windy, what's the best way to go about getting the Toraimarai Canal TE (101 on wiki map) when taking the clockwise path?

the direction you take is irrelevant really. if you have loads of ppl: just kill everything.

if you don't: have a THF(or w/e) sac pull it, and x2 BLMs can kill it while it goes under the bridge. those 2 blms are dead, but yea.

if you're really lowman/struggling for win for whatever reason, that TE isn't really worth much, you spend most of the time killing the mobs, moving around etc, that you earn. but you can always get coins.

if you have a glassmule have a rdm drop glass and solo it with cs, get a new glass from mule and reenter

With yoichi, how much store tp is needed for a 4 hit with both 90delay arrows, and 6-5-4 hit with 120delay arrows?

Also, when tp-ing with soboro on yoichi sam, should/shouldn't i use brutal for tping? DA affect proc rate of 1/2x/3x hits? etc..? what do you guys think/suggest?

my TP gear looks like this:

main "Soboro Sukehiro"
sub "Sword Strap"
ranged "Yoichinoyumi"
ammo "Kabura Arrow"
head "Walahra Turban"
neck "Peacock Amulet"
ear1 "Fowling Earring/Brutal Earring?"
ear2 "Bushinomimi"
body "Haubergeon +1"
hands "Dusk Gloves"
ring1 "Sniper's Ring"
ring2 "Rajas Ring" 
back "Accura Cape +1"
waist "Velocious Belt" 
legs "Byakko's Haidate"
feet "Usukane Sune-Ate"

FFXI Calc says with 614 Delay (Yoichi's 524 + 90 Delay Demons) means you need exactly 66 STP for 4 hit. With 120 delay arrows, 10 STP for 6 hit, 31 for 5 hit, 64 for 4 hit.

[noodles355]

You have a relic, and sam leveled, and you don't know how to do a basic STP calculation...?

[Jakson]

Also, AFAIK, the overall rate of hits on Soboro is around 1.9, so the DA can't do anything but help, considering you should be capped on ACC with GK.

[Neosutra]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Took me all of 38 seconds to find out store TP calculations one day when I was curious about it, and that was before I had Sam past lvl 10.

It also depends on how much sTP you WS in. If you WS's with only traits and merits for 35 sTP your WS return at 614 delay would be: 20.3

You'd need 26.6 per melee hit to get to 100 in 3 hits after WS. Is that what you mean by 4hit? cus I'm pretty sure that can't be done. If you mean an additional 4 hits after WS then you'd need the same amount as you would for regular 450 delay 5-hit build: 74 sTP

So it matters how much sTP you WS'd in. Assuming rajas and rose strap for 44 sTP on WS, you'd need 71 sTP.

Same situation but with 120 delay ammo (644 total delay) would be 70 sTP.

1. Attach it to FFXI.
2. Zone.
3. Do an unknown initial value scan.
4. Do X weapons skills/SC (more then one but dose not have to be a ton...)
5. Keep track of the points you gain.
6. Zone
7. change scan type to "Increased value by..." and put what you counted for points gained in the field.
8. If you have multiple addresses do steps 4 to 7 again (if the values change w/o zoning you can remove them from the list).

this is how i and most other people do it i believe.

we come at it from the west/waters side. We sac the smn house, the melee grab the Nm. 2 blms slip past during sac and time am2 nuke the stat. They can easily drop glass and come back in if you have a glass mule. Or, with care they can sleepga and warp out. Make sure they set their hp in windy first.

Something that's been bothering me for a while now, though I dunno if anyone knows the answer.

As a BST a number of my jug pet Ready commands don't work. Weather I macro them or go though the menu manually, it keeps resulting in "...A command error occurred" when I try to use certain TP moves.

The one's I've noticed include:
Saber Siravarde - Claw Cyclone
Homunculus - Head Butt and Wild Oats
Chopsuey Chucky - Mandibular Bite
Lifedrinker Lars - Filamented Hold

Obviously pet has above 100% TP and such, and the other tp moves work, just these never do.

They're blu spells. Whatever you have in the commands are translating to the blu spell and not firing. No clue how to get around it though.

Apnea's is working, just tricky to get values:

1) Click reload weapons
2) Move weapon to satchel (or other inventory like Mog safe)
3) Click check points

Do not need to zone or anything

Spellcast is fucking it up on you because they are also blu spells, and spellcast contains a hidden rewrite your commands because I know better than you "feature", which is changing your /ja or /pet to a /ma. You'll have to change your macro to "/raw /pet "Foot Kick" <me>" (I haven't actually tested that but I think it will work), or unload spellcast when you play bst.

My credit card is expiring at the end of the month and I have a new one to replace it. When ever I try to update my information I keep getting a message that states that either my credit card information is wrong(99.5% sure it isnt though) or that the server is busy. Ive been trying to update it for the past 3 days trying whenever I can to update it and Im starting to think its not a problem on my end. I know the card is valid as I have been using it to pay for my mules account. Any one else having this problem?

Ive called my CC company and got all the correct information; I even got them to walk me through the form, essentially filling it out for me. Ive called SE and had them walk me through the form out as well. The only advice SE gave me was trying to enter it every 15 minutes and trying to do it on off peak hours. Im currently around 0/30 on it going through.

Dunno what to do; they refuse to change it manually over the phone.

Try again, they'll do it.

I had the exact issue with SpellCastLite when the tier-2 enspells came out. Even when casting from the menu, apparently spellcast wouldn't allow the spell to go through because it wasn't in the resources.

[rog]

You could always modify the resources.xml yourself.

Would it totally fuck my blu up if I levelled to (75/80/whatever) and then worried about learning spells, only really going out of my way to learn my main DD spells? Level 38 atm and going mad learning every spell I can.
