Altepa/Quicksand Caves = best bet for fire weather

It can happen in Kuftal and Teriggan, but almost never.

It's extremely unreliable in Ifrit's/Den/Jungles.

It can happen in Mt.Z, but never does.

Any evidence suggesting Goblin Rush can only learned from certain job types a la ToAU beastmen?

Slaughtering the RNGs by outpost in Yuhtunga and I'm 0/28 and counting on learning it now. Skill capped for 81, AF Body and hands for placebo. I doubt it's anything else but shitty luck, but getting pretty frustrated, just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time.

Edit: Nevermind. Learned it 3 mobs later. I guess bitching about it always helps.

Has anyone else had an issue with Windows7 64bit and windower? I can't seem to get it to 'window'. Opening the launcher or the launcher_gui just opens regular POL that only plays in fullscreen

Make sure you're right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator".

It worked, thanks.

[Byrthnoth]

Please do.

At 85 Dancer, I have Accuracy Bonus 3. WAR requires 396 Acc to get neutral evasion on this Aern Thief, but DNC requires 361 Acc. So DNC definitely has Accuracy Bonus 3.

I got it to open POL with windower, but now POL is crashing when I open FFXI

Hmmm, could be a couple of things there. Is it crashing as soon as you click "Play" or does it try to load the opening movie/start screen and then crash?

What does Emphatikos Rope do for aquaviel?

Immediately after play, I'm pretty sure it's the video card.
I'm trying to download the newest drivers for my 5470 on my laptop but I'm getting an error saying my graphics adapter isn't supported. How do I fix that?

[Greatguardian]

Make sure you're downloading drivers for the 5470 Mobility series instead of the 5470 Desktop card. Laptop graphics cards are different from their desktop counterparts despite sharing model numbers.

[JustaWAR]

I was able to get the drivers from HP's site instead of ATI, still no luck. Looking back, thinking it was the video card is kind of silly, as it works without windower

[Sin Harvest]

Even if the weather says otherwise *just sunny* is there a chance that weather can still pop in a area, albeit a tiny chance?

[Radec]

Is there a way to make spellcast echo when your nuke is about to go off so you know when to start running?

Edit: Accounting for Fast Cast and such

Couple pages back but this is possible.

I use this to stay in idle gear right up until before the spell goes off, but no reason it can't be used for what you're asking. Just need to adjust delay so it says to move a little earlier before the spell goes off, probably.

Edit: Caster's roll assumes Xi's because I'm too lazy to have a variable that swaps every 5min with caster's rolls, so... up to you how to handle that.

Do you keep your outposts when you change your home Nation?

EDIT: Someone said a couple updates ago you can continue to use whatever outposts you had before changing nations if your new nation. I recall sometime ago they added something along the lines of your OP is locked with that nation, so if you switch back you get your OPs back.

[Rehn]

Swapped to windy to finish missions for atma; 0 OPs available for windy. I should get all my OPs back when I swap back to sandy.

Thank you.

Originally you permanently lost them forever, even if you changed back. A few years ago they changed it so your op warps are specific to each nation.

No. If it is going to be sunny all day, there won't be any weather in the sky.
