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

[jurjur]

I'm a fan of Mordant outside of Abyssea. I did most of my daggers on BRD/NIN, so it got plenty of use. Just gear for it properly and it's no big deal.

Edit: Above. At the moment, I'd say go 5/5 Heavenly Strike and open the other ones. Atma of the Beyond kinda kicks the crap out of other Atma options at the moment, and if you're using magic BPs then you're using it.

Why Heavenly Strike 5/5 and not Wind Blade or whatever else people use?

[Fereydoon]

Beyond is 30 MAB and then 30 MAB for ice attacks. People used windblade because garuda was cheapest. Perp cost doesn't matter anymore etc.

Beyond + Baying Moon is 90 MAB. Baying Moon + Gales is 70 iirc.

I'm looking to get stone mufflers and trying to figure out the best method of farming the nms for boxes as I'm not really familiar with them at all. My main has blm, rdm, cor, and rng at 85 and I also have an 85 mule pld or thf. I suck at dual boxing but can do it if the mob attacks slow enough not to be too fancy. Any idea of best strategy for myself?

Solo RDM. WAR is pretty annoying and can fuck you over if you make a mistake, otherwise none of them are overly challenging (RDM can be annoying sometimes depending on what they chainspell - if silenced, will be TP moves fyi). The pulls can be stupid though.

Does anyone know what the error code is now when you try a not verified by visa card? You used to be able to have an agent from SE update your info for you but now they want a specific error code which won't appear cause of USC-5311 for busy server.

rdm/nin I assume? Do you bind/grav/nuke these, or fancy pants joytoy melee?

[Raen Ryong]

Bind/grav don't work on any of them and yeah, rdm/nin (though /blu can work especially on those like Bres... RDM/NIN can kill all 8 in one sitting though).

They have generally unique mechanics though you straight tank most (main exception is the guy who lays loads of capsules). You will be nuking a lot and melee can speed up fights considerably. One of their TP moves hurts regardless and the other offensive one hurts only if you are without shadows, so Ceremonial may be better than Joyeuse, but it's entirely down to the pace of the fight etc.

Be prepared to use a lot of Shihei though >:3

So my car broke down, and upon having the Tow truck come, I gave him my keys which had my security token on it. Is there any way I can log on without it? I feel like a fuckhead for forgetting to take it off the keychain.

[rog]

Not without canceling it, no.

[cdgreg]

Not without canceling it, no.

Ya, definitely not worth it. Suck it up and go without ffxi for a day or two. Better than having your shit jacked at a later date.

[Nemesio]

Couldn't even cancel it if I wanted to because I can't log onto my SE account, I was interested in canceling it anyways. Suppose I will have to wait.

[SaviorSelf]

Just disable using the one time password in POL viewer. >_> Don't have a pic atm, but edit the account information on the main screen, the last section is SE ID and "One Time Password" which has options, put it on "Do Not Use" and save. Just need POL ID, PW, SE ID and PW to log in.

[Nemesio]

I have no way of getting the one time password... Seeing as I do not have the token itself.

[SaviorSelf]

You don't need the one time password to turn off the feature. Edited my post above.

[Nemesio]

If you turn it off on POL, without canceling it on the Square-Enix account, it just gives you the incorrect password error.

[SaviorSelf]

Odd, mine broke and that's how I got around it >_>;

[Nemesio]

Well, wtf. Haha
