Random Question Thread XV: This Is Not The Sticky You're Looking For

[SaviorSelf]

Logged on after 3 months yesterday, killed some random mobs outside San d'Oria then logged off. Logged on and I'm in jail saying they wont be accepting calls from my account and deciding if I'll be perma-banned or some shit. Before I quit for 3 months I sold gil but seems they would have banned me after that. Would fit SE's desperation to get me to pay for another month then ban me though. What gives? I'm in FFXI jail, not POL jail.

I can definitely see rouge's roll being useful. In fact, if you're keeping stalwart's up fulltime, and are eating meat, then chaos would be pointless while berserk was up, and still not all that useful when it wasn't, since you're still probably close to capped atk either way. With chaos+berserk i usually hit around 1200 atk (i usually have around 950~975 iirc with red curry and no zerk, and chaos roll, though i don't have vv, so i just use rr+stout arm), which obviously is pointless. Meanwhile crits are actually able to increase damage by quite a bit.

statustimer setposy X is the command to change vertical position of the timers. Mess around with it 'til you find one you like.

Was the GM an NPC named Read Me? if so just call a GM and say you don't know what you're in jail for, even though it says they're not accepting calls at that time, they are.

Would it be better to put in critical hit rate and increased critical damage gear now if you have VV and RR atma for critical WS?

[rog]

Shit's situational.

[Fallyn]

Better place than Bost(tab) Omelette for Stingray Amorph stage? Worms any easier than leech's?

[Gunitsoldier]

Looking to hear from some PUPs around here. Wondering what attachments you use for which frame and so on and if certain attachments are as good as they look? (Sounds so weird I know) Can PM me or put it here, either would be a great help

Tier 1 VNMs in normal zones. Unsleepable, no gravity, but slowable.

Excellent suggestion, just did this twice. First time it took me two converts, second time no converts at all, just getting a better feel for the pace of the mob and how to use the sub. In addition, better macros - I sense a major overhaul of macros for solo'ing coming up. I haven't gotten my abyssite to change colors yet, but what would be a step up from VNM Tier1, for my goal of getting used to /nin sub?

ninja edit: does abyssite have a better chance of changing colors based on any criteria? like do mobs popped in [S] zones change more often or anything?

Anyone have a GOOD Bard xml?

All the ones I've tried are trash and I'm to stupid to write my own <3

It's from May 2009, so not sure how useful it still is...

Credit goes to "Goon".

Capricornus, specifically. Just remember to kite it a little when it uses Mighty Strikes.
This one can't be para'd, though.

Can anyone show me a basic King Justice set up? with mostly AH gear or stuff that is not that hard to get.

[SaviorSelf]

Was the GM an NPC named Read Me? if so just call a GM and say you don't know what you're in jail for, even though it says they're not accepting calls at that time, they are.

Thanks, didn't even consider calling a GM since they said they wouldn't be taking calls. Called one and appeared in 2 minutes, said it was their bad and let me free, wee.

Nice, probably just some stupid auto jail mistake.

Connection issues which I should have figure, this phone I have now kills my connection completely whenever I get a call.

thank you
