Thanks for vana-time, cause there is a 0% chance that the two people who can update the bgwiki main page would ever get to a spur of the moment event like this before it ended. It's fantastic to have a resource that keeps players informed without having to F5 the Playonline page every day. |

There is a visible difference for sure. Is that evidence enough to be banned? Probably not.
If you see GM Dave soloing Fafnir, test it out. My man, this was you a couple posts up
It's at least plausibly deniable that you're using in game /follow. The difference between FF and /follow isnt even close. |

I think it's an absolute trash set of gear (both in general, and also specifically for SMN) but...you could argue that while it's not BiS for damaging BPs, it's a *** safer than some of the current gear ahem Helios, Merlinic, Apogee, Enticer ahem so...it's not totally useless, if you're at risk of being hit during your BPs.
It's a very questionable decision, but it could be a great alternative for hybrid/DT sets.
Worth spending hundreds of millions of gil plus months of your life grinding? Hell no. But I think looking at it purely from the perspective of "is this BiS for damage?" is a bit short-sighted, especially in a game like FFXI where the answers to those questions are almost always "for what situation?"

You will get 3/4 matters a week per zone. 31/3 = 10.33 weeks, 31/4 = 7.75 weeks. Since it won't be even each week per zone its 9/10 weeks worth of matters per piece. Units are the second obstacle but being able to use either zone really helps.
This is just not true. Once you get into the mid-twenties, the RP per level is such that you'll be earning matter faster than you can spend it. Speaking as someone who has done the earring grind, I was left with 12 matters when I hit R30. And I didn't even figure out the rotating chest gimmick until more than halfway through that. I also suspect the incremental grace improvement is enhancing matter drop rate, as I'm 16/20 the last 3 weeks.
Doesn't change my point. The 9/10 weeks worth of matters per piece. (30 from each zone) Units may take longer based on what you said.
But the gear you can use either areas units, the accessories were confined to 1 area.
They'll probably make Jewels chest items or come from another source if I had to guess. |

I must be doing something wrong because I'm lucky to get 3 matter a week per zone.

Correct and 9-10 weeks per piece of gear to R30. Gouging on Asura? Please. Plenty of world first chasing billionaires. Gil is not the issue on Asura I promise you.
Once you rank your first piece up to 30, you will have excess matters, as units are the limiting factor. You can use units from each zone to rank your items. 50k per week per zone, and 620k~ to R30 a piece. So 6~ weeks once you get your max units and matter stocks up.

Sylph.Timepassesbye said: »the set seems like a viable flat nuking set for Blm Sch and Geo, but as usual, Smn gets shafted.
i dont know why they even bothered putting any BPD on the augs, they dont really replace anything SMN already has access to. I know, it's a bit confusing. I know people were hoping that the mab applied to the pet as well, and if that were the case, it would be solid, but in the absence of that . . . |

I can't recall last time I saw a legit /follow or use of third-party tools/addons to be fair. I just assume its addons when I see a multiboxer, lol.

The gear isn't selling on Asura. Says everything about the Augment process IMO.
The gear is solid but the RP process needs to be thrown in the trash and revamped.
It’s not selling bc people are gouging, and rightly so. 10 135 clears take like ~8hrs a week. Please get a grip. Your repeated moaning isn’t helpful.

Situations like these always makes me think there is more to it then there is. Maybe the Nyzul ??? items have a higher rate of rarity ;) |

They still move instantly the moment the lead character moves. It has nothing to do with min/max distance.
If you cant tell the difference between a group using /follow and a group using fastfollow, you're either ignorant or feigning ignorance.

Minimum and max distance for following can be adjusted per char with FF.
|
|
 |
|
|
/follow just using the game systems has a delay and it's a proper follow. Which is why they get stuck on corners etc.
Fastfollow does not, it's instant and they all move as one. At least all the ones I see using it move that way, it's cringe how obvious it is.

This is exactly why I’m selling mats now and buying gear later. The time it will take for me to make the gear relevant to my current sets will be a year with the time I put into limbus. |

A character in your party is set to a lower Limbus level than you, and has aggro'd or gotten first action on them first, causing them to be a lower level than you have set on your main.
this is my guess |

Doubt many people can spot the difference between the two by looking at it.
I don't know what 'many people' can spot, but in my opinion it's pretty easy to see.
People with fast follow or multisend or any other tool that bypasses server latency don't have a clear leader and follower structure. It's an amalgation of characters on top of each other where the leader changes based on who sent the most recent position update packet. The lack of collision looks odd in itself, since even without JA0 the fact you don't see the other character's real position before you run to it lets you bunch up weirdly. Using vanilla follow without JAzero doesn't bunch up your characters nearly as closely and you can clearly identify which is the leader.
I don't think a GM is particularly likely to care, but if the concern is whether people know you're using it.. yea, they know. |

Being followed doesn't mean anything nor is it detectable. You can easily claim you had the others on /follow which is built in.
Doubt many people can spot the difference between the two by looking at it.

Which part? Using follow or that FF have weird behavior unintentionally?
|
|
|
|
|
I never understand people using this.
It's so obvious to everyone else around you that you're using it, it's undeniable. I'll risk getting half my characters stuck on a corner ery day before I risk losing all of the accounts cause a GM saw me using something so obvious like this.
People already don't like multiboxing, why would you give them a stick to hit you with.
