You have a 25% rate on HQ2 on your Cloth page, so the fact I havent gotten any out of 193 is sus.

Could be the addon, maybe the way injecting information that is failing to generate HQ2's (idk how but we've seen weirder things happen) or its just failing to parse it (which seems unlikely because it seems to be reading spirit gained through an inbound packet, unless there is information its missing from a HQ2 result)
Could just be very bad luck
Could be SE broke something in the last two years that removed the result. Lets be real here, "Spaghetti code" has been a FFXI buzzword for two decades now.

if you're not the biggest loser that gets it first why get it at all

This has been going on for ages, I never get this "FOMO" stuff ppl complain about. You don't even have to do it, later it will become easier for sure

Yeah my main point is that the assertion that there are hidden rank up tests is simply not true. I've spoken with a plethora of people capped and high rank who have not roamed around to different zones to find specific drops to influence a skill up break point.

Also, while the "Common" pool may be different in each zone... its not such a large difference that it should matter in the longer run (In my opinion). Its more important to know/identify if other diggers are running in your zone at the same time since the loot pool is limited until it refreshes.

I'd love someone to science the egg hat though... I dont personally believe the egg related items you get from wearing it arn't eligible for skillups.

These are the pet effects:

I went from 0-100 in Elshimo Lowlands, so yeah you can just hang out anywhere.

So either the addon I'm using for this doesnt know how to parse HQ2's, its making assumptions of spirit gained, or some things are just being made up, but:

Notice: HQ Synth Success! Chain Performed:Detonation Spirit Gained:3 Current Spirit:29551

I shouldnt be able to gain 3 spirit on a tier 1 skillchain, wiki says the values are

Its possible the wiki is wrong, since from what I can tell, the addon is getting the spirit information right from packets.


Anyways:
3806 spheres used
193 HQ
184 breaks

Depending what's in your midcast, the dt might not be doing much. If you swap the dt for other gear in midcast.. and/or drop a lot of hp swapping sets.

That makes more sense. Gear is solid, just need to swap over to my dmg set since nothing subtle blow seemed right to do lol

Didn't even notice Doom was hit based, I've only run it 3 times and I kept dying around 50% so at times I was just face tanking some TP moves to get WS and SC off, I knew there was something to it.

I didn't find out about Pazuzu's fetters today haha, just spammed through his spells with Stoneskin and Blink, so I'm sure a few fights are cheeseable and I probably did so without even knowing.

Any other unique mechanics you've noticed in the other fights? I've found a few various ones, it's been a lot of fun figuring them all out but thanks for the Rarab clarity

Does having capped -DT hurt if my FC is also capped? Meaning...am i missing out on benefits elsewhere?

Bump

We are currently looking for DNC and RDM

Start time for event has been moved to 5:45pm EST to accommodate two of our guys

Sounds like I'm doing all of the right things then, hmm.

I'm guessing maybe in this it doesn't resist blunt nor take extra damage from piercing then?

Does magic / physical seem to make a difference?

The only debuffs I'm focusing on are Def/Atk -15% and Dia for the -10% VIT, did you use any others?

Death Spell isn't really an issue, using Seed and Hell or a combo of one plus Thunder if I need a quick stun in there as well.

The issue seems to be damage output, is there a trick to the Doom? Is it a static timer? Because it's certainly not in seconds. Does anything increase or decrease the remaining time?

I certainly built the wrong set of gear though, Subtle Blow does 100% Nothing in this fight, the TP moves all seem to be timed, rotated, or unaffected by any TP down strat (SB or Lowing).

What build did you go with? I'm thinking I am going to just aim for WS Dmg, SC dmg and MB dmg? Or due to TP for the boss not really being a thing to keep track of, are DA, TA or QA viable?

Thanks for the heads up on all of that, I'm even more confused as to why my dmg output seems to be lacking here as opposed to any other Doom DPS Check fight.

Thanks for the info, sounds like i can just stay in a single zone then? The rank test item seemed like it would make since, kinda sad it isnt true but easier to skill i guess. Lv 37 now which is nice :)

I now have two things to immediately disable when I load up a new game:
1-Motion Blur
2-DLSS5

I already know it will be as detrimental to my FPS as Denuvo is.

Nvidia now offers DLSS5, which uses AI in real time to upgrade the graphics of any game.

https://x.com/NVIDIAGeForceUK/status/2033625439315399137

This will do far more to normalize AI in the gaming industry than anything else.

okay but like you know this is not reflective of basically the entire population of the game, right?

I should quit, but since my biological mom was a crack addict, here we are

I just play 2 times a week and complain while doing it on my 5090 while making screenshots from ffxi of nickeny complaining about sortie

It's at SW3 exit not SW2 (Asura).

Someone who thinks VanaBout is a stupid waste of time that no one should do bumped the thread up and has 6 of the 13 (now 14) posts

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is way, way better. AF+3 5/5 sets are substantially more expensive than relic, so I much prefer an AF set being the reward here. Yay.

I have done every fight, the spider f'in sucked to figure out lol but the fun is testing the mechanics and dying over and over.

What the heck do I do on this stupid rabbit haha, spoiler me away daddy.

Who can do a new char with blue silks and chocobo rope, and then just rope so we can get an idea of how the rope is beneficial?

To be accurate I haven't played for 3 months (other than one account I keep for modding stuff). Limbus was crap and it made me unsub, I was thinking to come back for trusts but it's equally crap cause of implementation of the upgrade system so I'm not gonna bother.

I was waiting for this for a year, and it sucks.

Today I recorded a tutorial to help the outsource team to configure MCP Github in their VS Code.

The tutorial:

Me: “Ask Copilot to configure it for you.”

So this is F, wind/thunder heals it. Sb > fudo = dist fudo > sb = nothing fudox2 makes light but there should be enough ws' going off that fudo shouldnt chain off itself. This should also apply if black halo is in rotation. So if impulse is a risk then just use fudo? Still at risk but less of one i guess? Though maybe im missing something obvious

Star Wars is back! Sam Witwer you are amazing.

I want to use a button/macro to make all characters use a panacea (or any item) what would the action be? If I do:
send @all /item panacea <me>
the arrows break the lua. I'm currently just making a script that uses a panacea and sendall-ing that script, but I imagine theres a better way.

going from Wing Skill 78 -79 took 208 successful digs wearing Blue silks and rope, 136 of those were the blue silk "with ease" proc
