On Apollyon SE floor 2 something landed a Curse on me that reduced my HP by... I dunno, >80%?
And was lasting 2hrs.
Which mob has such a strong debuff lol?

Adding a moogle to the limbus lobbies would be nice for changing jobs.

We are just seeing the result of that freely taking over a society right now, it's happened many times over the last couple hundred years. No society lasts forever etc so no worries. Something else will be born in the ashes.
There was a study done with a bunch of bots on social media
I didnt look at the study, but the article says after so many simulated interactions the artificial society / social media devolved into mainly inflammatory and polarizing posts designed to outrage and drove engagement.
Because it got the most attention. |

SE made content that works in various degrees for soloers, partiers, and alliancers.

I've never seen a single player use this feature since i've even known it to exist, and im positive a large number of players have no clue it exists to begin with.
I tried to use it back in the day, once. It just ended up showing you groups of LFG, some of which were party leads. The number of people that need to use it to get anything out of it lends to a much bigger game.
A party can also request for members to join. It was a lot of UI and hardly ever got used in favour of seacoms, even back then. |

Goal should be the 5 chest per week by any means (per zone, so 10 climbs total).
Before or after I throw up in my mouth?
SE: designs casual content, make it's so it would only be bearable 6 boxing. Refuses to elaborate. |

I was talking about both the body and legs as replacements for Malignance. I just pointed to the legs specifically, because the Malignance legs have a lot of haste on them, and they're often important for capping. Obviously if you have Lehko's, you're good to go. I personally do not have that ring, and I prefer to use the Null Shawl and cap DW with my belt and earring (so no Sailfi), so I stick to Malignance Tights even when AM3 isn't active. The new Alabaster Earring might change that for me if I can get it to R30.
Also, I think everyone here knows this, but I just want to stress that despite the thread title this isn't specific to Caliburnus in any way. This is entirely about what is best to use when mythic AM3 isn't active on BLU. The advice on this thread is relevant whenever anyone is using Naegling, Maxentius, Caliburnus, SU5 sword, or even Tizona when AM3 isn't active. If the BLU guide only has a TP set listed assuming mythic AM3 is always active, that's kind of a huge oversight. There's a lot of content in this game where maintaining AM3 really isn't worth it. And IMO, going with a glass cannon build isn't really a good answer for any relevant endgame.
Thanks.
Yeah this is basically anytime someone either isn't using Tizona or doesn't have AM3 up. And yes the listed sets only have Tizona AM3 up on them.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/All_Jobs_Gear_Sets/Blue_Mage
I get that Tizona + Thibron is the best setup for WS spam, generally in a group where no self SCing is possible. BLU's rarely find themselves in the situation and often either solo or end up with the opportunity to capitalize on SC damage. I'm also not wanting to be a complete glass cannon lol. Going DWIV and just using a suppanomi might be something I do since I really don't need more then one acc bonus set anymore. I also like to use Sweeping Gouge since it's so fast casting but could go with Tenebral if I have support. |

Still used in some cases today, mostly by JP. The soloing person that is open to limbus parties can put in seeking party type seacom and in the comment say 'Limbus Temenos' or something.
There's also the /autogroup function, which to this very day, I have no clue how it works. There's a spot in the menu for "View Request", which I assume feeds from the pool of players who have their red /autogroup flag on, so you can instantly see who is seeking? I've never seen a single player use this feature since i've even known it to exist, and im positive a large number of players have no clue it exists to begin with. |

I would say they use it as their primary form of recruiting, you just wouldn't know unless you went and searched.
I have joined JP Sortie, Ambuscade, even Vana'Bout Ballista matches where all of the JP players had dots in their seacoms either with a message saying what they are interested in doing (so they were recruited from this engine), or if they need an extra body, in the case of ballista, to make the match even. You see a JP shout here and there for filling ambu or sortie, but notice they're almost always 4/6 or 5/6. That's because they've already exhausted the search engine (or static) and now have to resort to yelling. With NA players, it's the opposite, where we shout first to recruit. Seacoms aren't even used unless its HTBF drop or something. If NA players all filled their /seacoms, people would fill their groups much faster, or at least you would know immediately who to recruit based on the message. |

The seacom system is entirely player driven, and not what the request system does or uses.
The request system is under party in the vanilla client, and shows you lists of requesters/requestees.
The seacom system is basically if you're doing something, put a comment on stuff to be recruited for, or looking for. Looking for xp/items/crafters, etc. Or mission help. There are separate categories for what type of comment this is.
Still used in some cases today, mostly by JP. The soloing person that is open to limbus parties can put in seeking party type seacom and in the comment say 'Limbus Temenos' or something.

I still see the search comments used by the jp community on my server pretty heavily
Couldn't tell you what they are using them for without a little digging
Conversation came up with someone who was soloing temenos with trusts and was asking about how they could find a party while having trusts out.
When the request system was brought up
And having never used it I became curious.

There's a 'request' button under party and, if you are party lead, a 'view request' button which shows you people requesting party/parties requesting people.

I think you are confusing it for something else
Was the intention to show you are recruiting members for your party ?

Is there a link to a wiki somewhere that explains the party request feature no one uses?

he's using Lehko's Ring, so haste is a complete non-consideration in the set. It's going to be capped.

I can't say I really care about the crappy late-night hosts
