FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[goodr]

Didn't the SP-til-next-rank number turn yellow when you were in fatigue?

I'm running into a string of bad luck with crafting I guess. Wondering if I hit fatigue. I hate that randomness trumps planning/skill. Rabble.

[miokomioko]

Your skill in yellow means there's a penalty (fatigue) and in green means there's a bonus (guardian's favor). However, it's now gone and it was entirely separate from the crit-fail fatigue effect which is still there... for gathering. I haven't actually heard anything about there actually being a crafting fatigue like such. Maybe I just haven't kept up with the crafting side of things.

[Corrderio]

My old LS always had a theory about crafting being effected by the moon phases and the crystal(s) you're using.

Screen of Mad Masani a friend in LS.

More of those scriptgmbots, this time asking to kill that Arcanistlookingguy Urisomething.

More on this, where/when?

More on this, where/when?

In the crystal on Horizon, don't know when exactly but seems to be same as when the garlearns appears and you can fight them. However this time those guys showed up speaking in french and english something about asking the civiles to go kill Urisomething.
When you check the badass looking guy it shows the gear as lvl 1 crap of when you start the game.

[Dulek]

Just me, or when you riding the boat to/from Limsa, on the right side when facing towards the boat driver, that one of the 'rows' of waters is flowing backwards in comparison to others? Plus this side always have some graphical glitching depending on the angle I'm viewing it. I'm using 5870 ATI card.

Nvm: [dev1127] Textural changes have been made to the portion of the sea visible while riding on ferries.

How do you get back Guardian's Favor? Is it still the standard wait x amount of time?

[Jojimbo]

Yes anima/GA are still wait x time, I think /clock with display time until you gain more (1 anima / 10 GA per reset)

[Corrderio]

This is going to sound dumb, but does anyone know what drops hell hound fangs? Reason I'm asking is because YG has no data on them but I've been seeing Canvas Bandannas pop up on the market wards, and they're needed for the synth.

[miokomioko]

I had just come across that issue recently and while the recipe exists, as far as I know, there are no Hell Hound Fangs actually in the game yet... unless they are a rare drop from some mob type that no one ever kills (Ogres?).

[Corrderio]

I just checked the tanners ward and the fangs were up on the item list, but zero in stock.

Possibly ninjaed a mob to drop them in the game and YG didn't pick up on it?

[Caina Malebolge]

YG is almost painfully slow to update some info. I've found that the mob locations aren't all that accurate for some mobs.

[Gulkeeva]

YG won't pick it up unless someone with YG's addon checks that person and "auto updates" YG on what that person has. So things on YG can be minutes/days out of date.

[miokomioko]

Are there even "Hellhound" mobs at all?

[Gulkeeva]

Not seen as of yet, its just sitting in the dats so far, or hidden somewhere far behind the super insane lv 80+ mobs.

[Niiro]

It's entirely possible the horns just drop from different mobs, considering how many mobs drop body parts from enemies of entirely different types.

You defeat the Orobon.
You obtain a Puk Wing.

wait-what?

Puks are their prey maybe? Either way I'm going to have to hunt around and check, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume beastmen drop them.

[miokomioko]

That is what they are trying to suggest. When one mob drops other mobs' body parts, it implying that they eat said mobs.

Flytraps eat Dodos, Piestes eat Hippogryphs, Gnats eat Rats, etc.

When I was recently rummaging around, the general consensus was that there were no "Hellhounds" in the game, and nothing had dropped "Hellhound Fangs" and that it was either a mistake to give the recipe as a leve reward, the recipe itself was .dat mined, or that it was a mistake that they didn't create a way to obtain one of the ingredients (Hellhound Fangs).

[Niiro]

Well they exist in some way since the headpieces made from them are seen and they've been listed in the wards.

My guess is drops from an obscure mob, random levequest reward, random faction leve reward, or random leve chest contents.

[miokomioko]

My money is on a stupid faction levequest reward... Possibly some obscure Horn&Hand one.
