Random Question Thread XIII: If You Get Linked Here, You're Retarded

[urat]

Two questions, mainly pertaining to the vunkerl Boxwatchers behest quest

I know when you die and raise up you lose the -move speed effect, does this do anything to the quest or can I still turn it in?

Second, if it does work, using goddess hymnus + Angel Lyre, how much exp can I expect to lose on my bard roughly per death? I doubt any amount is enough to have any impact compared to how epic abyssea exp is, but Id like to know anyways, lol.

I'm thinking bard/dnc, which gives me spectral jig, mazurka now with the update, and goddess hymnus for a half decent RR without ever needing to zone out. This should work for seal farming right?

Edit:

Ok well this is epic, with angel's lyre hymnus I'm only losing 500 exp on death, and just got my second seal. At this rate it should only cost me about 10~15K exp to get my AF3 feet :D

I hope I can get this done before SE patches <_< >_>

So when will Spellcast be updated? I don't use any of the bonus features, just the basic "can type /ma cure 4 me without the game being confused/crashing"

[Byrthnoth]

On wiki it says DNC get accuracy bonus 3 at 80. There was no testing/proof of this. Does anyone know for sure if this is true?

I have been meaning to go find an Aw'Aern THF on WAR and DNC to test this, but I believe it's likely true that we got another Accuracy bonus trait at some point. I'm doing magian trials tonight and tomorrow, but if I somehow remember this tomorrow after I finish I'll go check it out.

Just open up the resources\spells file, and find the new spells, and change them from bard songs to enhancing/whatever, and fix the prefix to /magic.

[cassiraa]

I thought it had to do with having new gear equipped or something of that nature

[rog]

Gear was all fixed i believe.

And if you don't use it to gear swap or anything, spellcast lite will do what you want, and should never break.

[cassiraa]

As far as ?Lite, I keep on wanting to set up a stylish day-of-week elemental syphon script, and a SMN "This avatar is out, so use this BP" script, but I never get around to it...

ok, I just //load spellcast, hit my Summon Shiva macro

Spoiler: show

Actual FFXI macro
/ma Shiva <me>
/equip main "Fay Crozier"
/equip hands "Summoner's Brcr."
/equip feet "Morana Pigaches"

and it worked, Then I hit my BP macro

Spoiler: show

input /equip body "Yinyang Robe"
input /equip legs "Evoker's Spats"
input /equip hands "Summoner's Brcr."
input /equip head "Selenian cap"
input /pet "Eclipse Bite" <t>
input /pet "Flaming Crush" <t>
input /pet "Mountain Buster" <t>
input /pet "Spinning Dive" <t>
input /pet "Predator Claws" <t>
input /pet "Heavenly Strike" <t>
input /pet "Chaotic Strike" <t>
input /pet "Poison Nails" <t>
input /pet "Nether Blast" <t>

and it caused ffxi to lock up. Both macros work fine when spellcast is not loaded...

Random curiosity, would it be possible at all for 2 85 RDMs to duo KB?lol

[Guitarman]

is it 8 seals to upgrade the head af3? I can't get to jeuno for a while and didn't think to check.

[|Heretic|]

Assuming a static alliance for a long period of time, once azure and pearl lights are capped are magic kills still needed? Physical/weapon skill kill shots would still produce time extensions?

[Darkmagi]

Also how few could JoL be reliably killed with at 85? Thinking 4man could potentially work, but dunno.

Rdm can probably solo it.

[Diddy Kong]

MNK/NIN BRD/? and RDM/? trio Ovni? And if so, about how long assuming average geared MNK?

[Thorny]

Also how few could JoL be reliably killed with at 85? Thinking 4man could potentially work, but dunno.

What kind of setup? One DD with marches could do sufficient damage, but adds are still quite a bit to deal with. Can't hold them until after first 9 sets, and since you don't have a positive level correction yet astral flow will do more or less the same damage to you.. one death is game over.

[Darkmagi]

Wasn't sure how potent the new ga spells were on BLM yet. I suppose 5 could probably make it work, and 6 for sure.

For a 6man setup, something like blmx3, brd, rdm/drk, sam?

Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem I've been having since the most recent update. For some reason I can't get key items to show up in my tab key auto translate list any more. Playing on the PC, vanilla non windower client, tried checking files in PoL, tried opening up key items from the menu and looking at random ones I had from each category (Temp Key Items, Perm Key items, etc..). Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Please do.

You have too many key items. If you have over...200? Then it breaks it.

Thanks for the quick answer.. that's pretty lame. Hopefully with all the abyssite and atma key items they're introducing they'll address this problem soon as more and more people will probably experience it.

What I've been doing is scrolling down to Keyboard or whatever it is, selecting {Alt key} (it's the first option), then hitting escape to cancel it. Everything should show up properly in auto-complete after that. No, I don't know why it works.
