Random Question Thread XIV: No Not XIV, XI

Nucleic Implosion supposedly resets lights, if they hit you with that then maybe that's why.

Was nuking and 0 TP moves went off. 99% sure that is false though.

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere before but I didn't see it, which GA performs better, Sumeru +1 STP or WS Damage, for general use. (Einherjar, Abyssea, etc). And yes I realize the STR Attack one beats both, I'm working on it, but I was curious about the Sumeru's comparison to itself.

I'm using STP GAxe with 5-hit and I don't see how the STR/ATT one can beat it unless you're seriously underbuffed. It's a lot easier to keep up a 5-hit in Abyssea due to Eve's atma and in stuff like Ein (which is, personally, pretty much all I do outside Abyssea these days) I'm buffed to shit anyways.

ok than, new question: is there a zone that is possible to have fire weather with a good camp for bird type mobs at 75+?

Den of Rancor Bats (Yes bats are "birds" in this game...)
Check jungle for Den's weather, it only happens during the "Summer" Months, which means about 2 days every 12 days.

So I am hearing that the VV atma + RR atma are making certain Weapon skill horribly broken, Does anyone have screens or average damage compared to before on these? I am particular interested in war using Raging Rush.

Best path for Keitonotachi? STP outweigh the 10% dmg?

Edit: or fact best none Tachi: Fudo weapon from TotM.

I think the common routes include OaT 5hit, Keito's ( Max damage or sTp path depends on your gear, if you cant 5hit with Wsdmg then get sTp) , Str path Gkt. After that I think there all pretty similar anyways.

[SteveMc]

I could 5-hit a none stp keito when I finish af3 head+1, is why I'm thinking of tossing the other in favour of the +10% dmg, but also some people seem to think we're getting another stp trait at 90 and with the current trend of SE giving us fuck loads of stp on gear, maybe a 4hit will be an option in the future.

Alright can someone help me please, I was leveling my BLU up in Bubuirmu Peninsula and I lagged a bit then got disconnected. Turns out I log back in and I'm in Mordion Gaol and I have no idea why? I've heard of this before but I'm still kind of nervous.. I did nothing wrong and it says I may be banned... Can someone fill me in on what to do about this? I placed a GM call but they have yet to reply.

edit: nevermind GM came two seconds later and called it a false banning.. and now I'm back in whitegate instead of where I was leveling -.- lame

do ephmerial murex give amber lights?

Ironclad Observer Strats? Since he has 25% speed can he not be mage killed?

Correct. Mages cannot kill anything they cannot outrun. Try BSTs.

Smn can hold well enough? or could I just Mage+Melee, Killing observer just for popsets on the ironclad.

[Deader2818]

I wouldn't take what he is saying seriously.

Honestly, im sure you can mage burn it just like anything else, just nuke, run, have partner nuke and take hate off you, etc.

Can't see it being much different than anything else.

[ClarkSammich]

Making shit way too complicated. NIN/DRK or DRK/NIN for stun and RDM. Glorious victory. The only thing you need to watch out for is Augur something (the orange WS) can hit really damned hard sometimes.

[Byrthnoth]

Okay, so I'm dicking around with my FFXI graphics settings on my PC, and somehow I've changed it so everything looks nice... except for the "new menu" opening animation where the blue box that will become a menu enlarges. For some reason the animated blue box enlarges about twice as large as the menu will eventually be, and then disappears when the menu appears. How do I stop it?

I've only had WAR85 for about a week and I am still not capped on Great Axe. Using only Atma of the Stout Arm (Briareus Atma) and cruor buffs with Perdu Voulge and 250+ Great Axe skill (about 80 skill levels below skill cap) netted me near 130+ STR (including gear/merits) I was doing 1500-1800 Raging Rush on vultures in misareaux.

After dropping a CoP ring for the second time and waiting required 27 days I still can't get my ring, the message in game has been stating "You must wait 0 days Vana'diel time" for 3 in game days now. Anyone who's dropped it twice before know if there's any custscenes I need to redo, or is as simple as clicking the door?

Thanks.

With a DMG88 G.Axe and Eve+RR atma I reached 2800 more than a couple of times in exp PT.

That's bullshit, Thorny doesn't have a sense of humor. FFXI is all business.

Am I the only one not thinking 15+20+8=23? http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/182228
