Does anyone know if the escha lotto NM's still have a chance to pop if you one shot them without aggro'ing or claiming them first?

They 100% do. Just the randomness can bite you. Expect ~4hrs per drop or so.

The lag in Sheol is absolutely killing me lately. It's always been bad but it seems worse. What can I do to make it marginally less bad?

To be clear, this is even when it's me+5 trusts, not just when it's 6 humans.

I have Packetflow on.
Literally all game settings on low doesn't change anything.
I also have /blureffects off which I know some people don't know about. (not because it matters here but hey maybe someone learns about it from this post)

Is there like, a plogon that'll do the equivalent of "indinope" except for "displaying literally every effect", and would that even matter because it'd only apply at rendering time rather than server-communication time?

Any tips very much appreciated.

I think that you, like the majority of people to be fair, are mixing up "lag" with "performance loss".

In the first case you have a very different array of possible slowdowns that are caused by the network communication falling behind for whatever reason.

In the second case it's a problem of performance, because of some reason (some fault in your hw, something slowly breaking up in your system, some error in the driver or some other software components, some malicious windows software that's slowing down FFXI etc) your system is failing to do what it's supposed to do with the right timing, as a result there could be visual errors on screen or, more often then not, slowdowns.


If it's the first case and you already have Packetflow loaded like you said and your connection is fine, then there is nothing else you can do.

If it's the second, then you should first find what is causing the issue, and then you might be able to solve it.

Why are these so expensive (on Asura)? Just curious. Guessing it's the best buyable H2H for bots with a really high base damage, but even that seems like a stretch.

Pointless to make. The mats are, inconvenient. Value isn't solely based on usefulness.

They aren't good to bot with either.

Stupid people buy stupid things. Always have, always will.

Do a run 2-3 hours earlier with trusts, avoid peak NA time.

T0, over 13m a synth, no reasonable way to get large amounts of cross-counters either. NQ is worthless because it comes out of gobbiebox. I haven't tried the synth enough to know how break rates are, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to make them for too much cheaper.

The real question is why anyone is paying that, but Eiryl covered that(sort of).
