Were you doing the new T1s? They didn't give xp when we tried them.

Does anyone have the link to the thread that discussed the accuracy bonus of one hit 2 handed weapon skills? I can't seem to find it under search or remember what the thread was called.

For COR melee TPing, is there any reason to use Skadi legs over Aurore legs? Is the STP on skadi more useful than 5 acc and 1 haste? Assuming uncapped accuracy

What exactly are contained with these USER files?

Easiest way is probably to check the macro files. You can open them with any macro editor, or even just notepad.

Things like AH sorting, macros, config settings, spell sorting, etc is there.

Don't want to completely uninstall so looking for alternatives.

Check files will only replace the files you actually need to replace. If it's not detecting a corrupt file already, unless you delete whichever file is corrupt, this won't help.

What zone is crashing you? If it's a zone specific to anything but the base game, you could just delete the entire expansion's folder. For example, if Whitegate is crashing you, delete the ROM4 directory and run the check. If that doesn't work, or multiple zones are crashing you, it could be anything--a corrupt piece of armor, a corrupt moogle, a corrupt UI--and you'll have to reinstall to pin it down.

Skadi worth using over aurore if they cut of one combat round to 100 tp (assuming you ws asap when you get 100 tp). If you find yourself sitting at 99 tp most of the times you might consider using skadi, otherwise go with aurore.
Same deal applies to ranged attacks, if you need the store tp for X-hit build, skadi.

As I understand it, KA simply act as DA during Footwork, so the effect of the merits would be lessened, but not wasted.

Can anyone post a link to the abyssea maps in dat form, and also tell me where i might find the old dats to replace them, names included plz

What's a good Sigil or FoV camp to solo bird superfamily mobs? Bats, Colibri, whatever, just need a source of refresh for DRG/mage and we lost the candy a while back. I'm aware of giant bats in Abyssea Tahrongi (just knocked out almost half my trial on them) but I'd like to be able to complete this trial during the day tomorrow which precludes group play.

What is the highest level a Lv.42 mob will still give XP to?

**fredjanx** · 2010-07-15 22:57

ok... ran into a small issue
downloaded the FFXiUIMod, and now Nether Void (haven't tried utsusemi) is giving a "bcnm" icon that I can't take off.
Help, please!

Do I get weapon skill points on a weapon if I am synced to a level lower than the weapon?

**Nightfyre** · 2010-07-15 23:27

Yes.
