Yeah it's not like there hasn't been a hiatus before, and as Lili says, it's not like we're owed anything. I just posted the question because I was looking for some of his icons for a separate add-on so I wouldn't have to draw myself (which I can, but if it exists...) and wasn't sure if he ever posted them.

It's not that I don't think ballista titles don't count for anything, but more that they're only worth points for your account while you have access to them, which means after a week you lose their value again anyways as they're no longer present in character data. So while one of them might be the small bump to push you over a rank, when you lose it again it would likely derank you like people who deranked when they gave up campaign medals.
My addon should automatically update titles you've lost since last update when you talk to bards, which should note things like the ballista titles or exclusive/bugged ones (it will record it while you have it, but when the NPC says your data no longer has it, will update to remove it and log that).

Watch is be BECAUSE Liam has a "Subduer of the Mamool Ja" title LOL
|

Also, we have made an assumption that ephemeral titles (like Ballista ones) do not matter. I think that probably isn't true, at least for the bugged titles, because I ranked up previously when I got Fulmination Disrupter.
Rank 9s:
1. What Bumba rank are you?
2. What Incursion level are you?
3. How many/which Master Trials have you cleared?
4. How much Ballista have you done? (Never done, got a few permanent titles, got the random star titles?)
5. How much Monstrosity have you done? (All 99s, unlocked all species, unlocked most species, did some?)
6. Have you killed Aminion? (Or w/e his name is)
7. What obscure/weird stuff did you do back in the day? (Like tons of Garrison, have done a lot of different BCNMs, etc.?)

He is a professional game developer btw, he works for a major company. So he is busy, he probably intends to come back to it at some point.

Stupid question:
Have you done All quests? Not just ones that reward titles? We may be fixating too hard on the titles

Why are you so aggressive about it? The dude was not willing to hand over to you his passion project, and he's perfectly in his rights to do so. You are not losing anything compared to before, in fact you gained a bunch of really nicely made HD maps.
Be kind.

Thanks.. time to try to see if it lets me do it again
Buy at your own risk. The codes have a soft expiration date. I've had and heard some work, and some don't work, even though they were new sealed products. |

8/10 impish boxes. 1 escha cape. 1 Morimar decanter. I had better luck without the rainbow.
6 of those mules have zero htbf gear on them. 5 more will have rainbow tomorrow for more impish boxes.

I was more curious what people's methodology for scouting them was.... in a vanilla way. I dont really intend to use 3rd party to expedite the process. If allseeingeye allowed me to see all the possible spawn locations and then I'd mark them on a map and just check those spots, that'd be one thing, but having something scape packets for me is a step beyond what I'm willing to do.
That being said, what are the smallest zones worth checking? Behemoth's dom., Valley of Sorrow etc.? Checking North Gustaberg sounds like a fool's errand
Those two are the smallest maps possible yes. You can't really ASE it because it'll only show where it was the last time it was in zone and not this current time as there's only one entity for it that moves around.
The FFXI wiki has some suggested locations which are hit and miss from when I've actually found them (sometimes in a similar spot, sometimes somewhere else entirely). There's more than likely a collection of like 10-20 hardcoded spots per zone it can be that will pick between.
One of the things I wanted to get working was a record database of when a tablet was found that could be shared between players to build up a collection of xyz values it might be able to use, but it was being a headache to get working and I lost motivation after I got down to only like one thing left from the tablets I need lol. |

It's a shiny on the ground right? At least can play wire frame if using windower to see it easier
Do the tablets have seperate trackable id's? Or multiple id's for every tablet spawn spot in a zone? That would make finding them by cheater means a lot easier
One Mog-Tablet entity per map that just changes position when scattered to the zone. After being found, it stays in that location non-visible and non-active until the next time a tablet is selected for that zone, at which point its location changes. |

I'd say your either on the cusp via chocobo digging... or theres something non title related
|
|
 |
|
|
-No prime stage 5
-No ML50 job (but Liam confirmed you can be 9 without any ML50)
-Moogle Mastery 39
-All Odyssey bosses cleared on highest Veng level, might have 2 pieces now at R30? Didn't even buy the DNC dagger from that T1 so I think that's safe.
-I have a crafting shield (Navius does, Liam did not at rank up) and all guild GP items - and now I have all the key items from every guild.
|
|
|
|
|
Prime Stage 5's? unironically lol
RP on your Odyssey gear?
Moogle Mastery #?
Assuming you have an Escutcheon already, but havnt de-leveled to get all guild GP items/expert

Yeah, my first thought is that it looks like besieged got delayed. My second thought is that if they're removing exp loss from solo dyna-d, they're probably also removing exemplar points from the mobs like they did for ambuscade when they removed the penalty there.

Since returning:
- Got gold mentor flag
- Did a few Limbus clears, all graces obtained
- Picked up Gold Ballistar from Ballista
- Unlocked last few species for Monstrosity; half 99, all 60+
- Took Campaign Ops from 11/246 to 197/246 (80%)
- 1048/1082 Titles
- Only missing Jungle Chocograph, but digging is now A35
Stumped on what to do next. A few more Limbus clears? Maybe some Besieged if they somehow keep track? Liam/Navius got anything?

We took Ultima down yesterday evening with a small group of 24, was a long 4hrs of getting the strat down and fetter placement just right but we did it. Merry Christmas everyone.

Nah, you just get a silver voucher if you already have an impish box. I got one from my rainbow.
|
|
 |
By Slib on 2025-12-26 06:04:38 |
X3 Rainbow chest was all Impish Box... I ALREADY HAVE X3 Adamantite Armor
Besides that Straight trash every FES key So if I farm impish boxes before doing this, I can push a different reward, right? Today will be my 10th on all 3 of my charachters. |
|
|
|
|
At this point in the game's life wouldn't it be better to just complete remove EXP loss on death?

I assume the site admins have to do something. Not sure how it works.
As for news, until SE get the RSS (if ever) working, either follow the official website or if I may, use one of my tools: https://vana-time.com/updates |

Wonder if this means the Besieged update was pushed back. It's exciting to see, nonetheless. |

You can literally buy the CD on amazon right now.
I got it a few months ago and my buddy got his recently
