In what situations do Poise Shoes belong in a non-footwork h2h build? Specifically over usu feet? I was thinking Brisk/Poise > Turban/Usu but I dont think Ill be getting a Brisk Mask anytime soon.

[Nightfyre]

The latent is only active with Footwork up, so... never?

[Maguile]

Holy fuck, I cant believe I forgot that....wow

[Salodin]

Why the fuck does check files check all my files, tells me what file is corrupted and let's me download it, but then after I hit download it proceeds to check all files again...fucking waste of time >_<

Missed my damn e ron pt cause of this shit SIGH...

Ok sorry for the vent..

How can I extract a status icon image from a .DAT file? I recently discovered XI View and want to change their custom utsusemi icons back to SE's. I have FFXI Icon Change but no image to change them to.
Thanks in advance.

Polutils can do it.

[Akyrey90]

hmm cant find this on windower forum, how u make silence plugin display only 1 line of equipment changed?

[Ocara]

Are custom status dats going to survive the next update assuming they add new status effects of some kind? It's all one dat, so it'll have to be remade by someone, right?

[rog]

Yeah, it'll need to be redone, but it only takes a few minutes.

Best possible BLU nuke builds without Salvage gear? (INT/MND, INT only, MND only, CHR)

Decent MDT/MDB build for BLU? (assuming MDB trait from spells)

I second this question. Also, I vaguely remember somebody asking if a "glitch" worked where you would get 2 trials done when dual wielding weapons when only 1 of the requisites was met. I can't find who asked and am quite sure it wasn't answered but any-who, nope it does not work, at least not anymore.

[Draylo]

For MDT/MDB pretty obvious, same crap as RDM really. Coral gear +1, other various MDB pieces if capped w/shell5, lamia mantle+1/kaman+1 etc. New magian trial swords that have +MDB as well.

Nuke build varies by spell.



uggly pendant during proc, leg medallion/prudence torque otherwise or morgana choker/gnole torque/chr neck.
correct staff + grip(reign grip, bugard +1)

MND only swap rings for mnd+, back peice for aslan cape, feet teal pigaches

Missed name of ring with +6 int.

INT/MND + INT

CHR:

Might have missed newer pieces but its pretty accurate. Obvious downgrades if no access to pieces, lower mnd/int rings, teal hat.

So I have to renew my CC information, problem is my new card doesn't have the option for that verified by visa crap. Any way around this? Every time I try to sign in on my PS2 it says wrong SE 1 time password, wrong this, wrong that. Starting to piss me off.

Anytime I need to update my CC information I just us the FF+Noscript workaround. Update info as normal and when it mentions launching browser for the check do so, when it gets to the checking menu allow (iirc) verifiedbyvisa.com or some such, it should auto clear. (I've done it so much it just goes through automagically now..)

[Nemesio]

I tried to launch the broswer once and it crashed my windower, is that because of windower? Or what. And this FF+Noscript... Should I just google it and it will be self explanatory? I tend to be pretty shit stupid.

Associated aliases for swapping between sets.
alias hate sc v s EleResist hate;
alias high sc v s EleResist high;
alias mid sc v s EleResist mid;
alias low sc v s EleResist low;
alias no sc v s EleResist no;

Edit: The real key point is the line: <equip when="midcast" Set="$EleResistResist" />
It's equipping a set (No/Low/Mid/High/Hate)Resist depending on the variable set, instead of a mob list, which may be unneeded if you're getting macc buffs.

So I change the variable on this if I want to use a resist set then?
