Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Muse Tariqah.

There's even a warning about not leaving things on the AH before you do a server transfer.

oh server transfer. yeah that I know. I've done a bit of migration in my 20+ years.
Thought it was the server reset thingy.

Does anyone have like a list of some things end-game'sh that can be soloéd by a dual/multi-boxer? I'm pretty much just logging in without a plan. my research time outside of game is limited. I've got a demanding CEO, kids, gym and all that Jaz.
No biggie if you tell me to go read lol. I understand. everyone's limited for time. I'll get round to it eventually. just wondering if anyone has a quick 30 second "go do this stuff, then this stuff, then you're set for Odyssey, sortie, dynamis D"etc

Finished Rhapsodies. got my first aeonic. Hope it was right choice. Been reading that shield is better than ochain. Working on my aegis trials. got my captain rank in toa. all the stuff up until 2017 basically.

3 is a magic number ti join many contents.

6 is the most people the current content will ask.

How well you can do lowman woll definitively depend how well geared are those fewer chars. Plus job points/master level really makes a difference.

I would say, if your gear isnt good, and/or you are at the low JP gifts, anything over 129 would be very hard to do.

At 129 below though, i think any fresh geared char with 119 and no JP can at least try

Those version update notes read like the VR story ends with the 05/24 update. Is that how every one else reads it?

Yep.

Which Final Fantasy XI waifu is best waifu?

More serious question:

Can you use Leaftip stones to get the WSD+ augment on melee weapons?

Leaftips, yes. Slits too. Speaking of slits... Arciela best waifu.

getting a really bad itch to try multiboxing again... stop me? or would that be for the best?

Will it help you be the ultra pimp that your LS needs?

Maybe... It's embarrassing to be the one to ask for help when you used to be the one that gave it lol

Truthfully I want to say no, fight and resist! Realistically, probably 3 chars and fill the rest with real people if you actually enjoy multi-boxing. If you don't then just try to take it slow and work with who you can.

Go to the settings file in FastCS and change the default frame_rate_divisor to 1.

frame_rate_divisor>1</frame_rate_divisor>

Lilisette.

Arciela is second.

But they dont deserve the impure thought youre having with them right now

In your Windower>scripts folder there's an "init" file.
Mine has this on the bottom:

config FrameRateDivisor 1

I still need to open with exec init every time I open FFXI

real men choose Lilith

Blazed is a Spitewarden, confirmed!

I've got a soft spot for Aphmau. I thought she was in love with Luzaf, but after I saved his soul from damnation by beating the smack out of Odin Prime 13 times, she was going gaga over me. Which was tragic, because now my soul belonged to Odin. Well what was left of it after the BLU unlocking shenanigans and hwat not.

Thats generally what "conclusion" means, yes.

Do you get the benefits of Ionis in Sortie?

Yes, just left sortie and checked.
2349 HP inside, 2349 HP in Kamihr, 2249 back in non-SoA town.

So it happened to me for the third time. Last time this happened was, I dunno, october 2022? November? December? Sometimes around that I guess.

Basically I login and a lot of my macros are gone, completely empty.
I think it's not "random", it's whole lines. The Alt and Ctrl lines #1 of each (some?) books. Not entirely sure about this but I think I nailed it.

What could be the cause of it? I don't get it.
Is it a matter of me overwriting dats and accidentally overwriting one of the dats that stores the macro info for the first line of each/some macro book?
Is it a matter of game patch sometimes breaking things for me?
Is it something else?

I don't know what to say other than yesterday everything was fine, today I login again after the patch and some lines of my SCH macrobook were gone completely. I didn't even bother to check every other book, I was in a rush to enter Sortie with friends.


I tried to backup from the server, but nothing happened, I still had the same missing lines.
Only thing that "solved" the issue for me is using a Config backup I made at the end of january 2023 (after the second time this happened to me I decided to make a backup).
Lost the things I changed after january but it was better than nothing I guess.



So... anybody got a clue what is the cause of this thing I'm experiencing?

Tenzen

So I've seen AA Elvaan praised as THE Tank trust. Do any of the other Ark Angel trusts perform well?

Not really, MR GK HM are mediocre melee (zeid II is the "only" "good" melee)
TT predictably sleepga II's that's situationally valuable

AAHM can replace Gessho as a NIN tank, but he'll only go into tank mode if there are no other tanks in the party.

AATT will immediately ES+Sleepga, making him useful for soloing any multi-enemy fight.

AAGK can self-skillchain if JAs are ready. Can be useful to level with SAM trusts + Shantotto II bursting if you're a non-DD.
