Hello guys, is there yet an altanaview update for scars of abyssea dats? Is it possible to update altanaview manually with my ffxi installation? D: or i have to wait specifically for altanaview update?

If I was going to unlock Leaden Salute, do I actually need to do a gun ws, or could I do say Savage Blade so that I can make light? Another COR I know said it would work but I am not sure...

Anyone?

[Cream Soda]

Pretty sure since the latent is actually on the weapon, that's the one you have to ws with.

I don't know all the formulas and such for level correction, but how much is the equivalent in accuracy that we received simply by jumping up 10 levels and all mobs remaining the same (not counting the accuracy gained by increased skill)? Also, for Dancing Edge (on DNC), would STR+2 ATK+6 beat out DEX+5? I have +44 ACC in my WS gear not counting the slot in question (which I assume (no parser) is enough because of the level correction boost, and also because pizza exists).

an 85 bst could solo KA, right? I figure if i used fatso, he has a naturally high resist to water spells, and with acid mist hundred fist would be a joke. Any ideas?

Level correction for acc is -4 acc for each level above you the target is. So against something that was level 95 you'd have gained 40 acc from going 75>85. Obviously the weaker the target the less it nets you, acc wise. With level correction acc + skill acc most old content isn't very hard to cap acc on, as you can see.

Is it? Last time I checked it was like, "Quest can reward seals." "NMs dorp this" "lolwiki"

This is useful

Ack, sorry, I can't read. That page is useful but not what you were asking. My bad.

Do the effect of en-spells, specifically Enlight, overwrite/prevent the add effect from Excalibur?

[Skitso3az]

Regarding the new update changes and Abyssea NM weaknesses.

From update notes: "Defeating an enemy by attacking its weak point will now yield a greater variety of spoils."

My question is: Does this mean you have to get a killshot with the attack that causes the weakness or does it simply mean proc the weakness during the fight?

I haven't been able to confirm this on my own yet and forum search is sucking so I don't know if someone already answered this. Thank you in advance for your replies.

I interpreted it to mean that some drop rates are now 0% unless you hit the weak point.

[Maxwell]

We've still gotten the rare item off the new mobs by hitting the weak point with the appropriate magic, regardless of how it ended up being killed.

What's the best magian gun for joytoy COR?

and which quest drops COR head seals?

[Tsuko_Asura]

I don't agree with the weakness kill-shot theory. Square specifically dissuaded us from utilizing a weakness multiple times, and you cannot kill-shot something with a weakness unless you've already triggered it(unless by way of blind luck).

Find the JP page and get a cross-translation of both the effects of multiple !! triggers and triggering !! on kill.

Find the JP page and get a cross-translation of both the effects of multiple !! triggers and triggering !! on kill.

Using the basic French I know, it says something like on the French site:

Also, if players defeat monsters by exploiting their weaknesses they receive more treasure. The chances to get more treasure diminishes however if one exploits the same weakness multiple times during battle.

aka; still vague

[ronin sparthos]

I just read that as "hit the !! for massive lootpools". It's impossible to actually killshot a monster with a !! effect as it'd be dead before it gets to display the !! and using the WS/spell multiple times is counterproductive as stated by SE.

[Skitso3az]

Thank you all for your input so far. I was assuming its simply activating the weakness once (maybe it's even just one type of weakness). However, I'll update my post once I can confirm this after fighting an NM.

[GoggleHead]

On Dragoon's new jumps, what does "supresses enmity" mean specifically? Just less enmity for the same amount of damage or is it something more complex than that?
