It's ok, you can laugh at me anyway, because that was really fucking stupid of me.

Thank you, thought I had seen it before but search just turned up a load of question about abyssea timers.

[Deader2818]

Is there anywhere which currently has all the features that the mithrapride clock used to have? I'm trying to look at moon phases specifically, to see after which of my events would be a good time to ask for help with Gnole killing.

Would this work?

My very first thought: "Wait, isn't that the probability of an 8-hit Asuran?"

I just bought FFXi Ultimate for the 360, incase anything happens to my PC. How do I link my Playonline ID to my gamertag? (This is new to me).

I could really use/would appreciate an answer for this . I keep an updated copy on console for when my pc may be down do to repair/new parts.

Logged in on my PS2... made me think $20 for the 360 Ultimate was worth it.

Heres a random question for math wiz's

Whats the chances of missing the second hit of a 2hit weaponskill 8 times in a row on EP Mobs with 95% Accuracy

If you're talking about Tornado Kick it is >70%

[Darkmagi]

TK is 3hit anyways.

[Baelorn]

TK is 3hit anyways.

It's two hits.

[Karbuncle]

If you're talking about Tornado Kick it is >70%

hehe, It was Tornado Kick

(i'm aware its three hits due to the nature of h2h weaponskills but was for simplicity sake ;; 14TP Returns weee)

[Niiro]

TK is 3hit

^

[Baelorn]

(i'm aware its three hits due to the nature of h2h weaponskills but was for simplicity sake ;; 14TP Returns weee)

Exactly. I've had way too many 14TP returns on that damn WS with capped accuracy.

Cast Dread Spikes with Max HP setup will improve the Drain?


ffxiclopedia info

* While Dread Spikes is in effect, the caster drains up to 100% of the damage inflicted upon them by a melee attack from an enemy monster, depending on their Dark Magic Skill and the level of the enemy.
o Dread Spikes does not drain damage incurred from TP attacks.
o Amount drained is adjusted by an enemy's magic damage reduction modifiers.
o The HP absorbed will not generate enmity for the Dark Knight.
o Effect is reduced to 20% during Conflict.
* Dread Spikes effect lasts one minute, or until the caster has drained up to half of their maximum HP.
* The Dark Knight will still be KO'd if a single attack inflicts an amount of damage that exceeds their remaining HP.

[rog]

I think so.

[Priran]

It's two hits.

It's 3. Apparently while cloning Dragon Kick to make the new WS, SE forgot about H2H's offhand hit. Not that I'm complaining, it makes it that much easier to 6hit with Footwork.

It's pretty straightforward:

Install FFXI on your 360, and somewhere along the way it will ask you for your gamertag.

On the off chance that you have more then 1 person who has a gamertag on your 360, make sure you use the correct one.

If you screw it up, you can un-link and reset it by calling the Playonline phone ###.

When I changed the account that I had linked to my gamertag, it took a total of 5 minutes talking to the person to unlink the old tag and link the new one and log in. Dude stayed on the phone the whole time to make sure it worked right.

tl;dr version:

It's easy

Finally decided to +1 my cor head piece, and was wondering if you are able to request the original af head so i can store it with armor npc. I normally assume af is requestable, but this is first aht urghan af i have upgraded, and the wiki says the quest is not repeatable. Anyone know if it repeatable, and if it is, what is needed to request it? Thanks in advance.

[Priran]

I assume COR AF quests are like every other AF quest in that you can repeat them by paying Vingijard in Lower Jeuno.

[Draylo]

Yes they are the same, done so with BLU af multiple times.

Kinda bored and looking to start a new magian trial. Looking towards scythes, which begs the question: whats the best scythe to use these days. I'm using perdu, but I'm sure there is something better. Any suggestions on what would be a step up?
