Ok, if he or I were to run RDM, what would be the ideal duo partner for it? Would sch closing sc and magic bursting be more valuable or more buffs via geo or cor?

I think the equipment will be the more interesting of the 2 systems by far. This is reminiscent of the Adventurer companion.
I would love it if you actually traded normal player equipment to trusts, but I don't think they will go that way. It sounds like it will be "new" equipment as they say, like attachments for puppetmaster. So all trusts will become automatons? kinda sad for pup maybe
However the following quote is what will impact us sooner and there needs more immediate attention:
Quote: The system is designed so that you can strengthen your alter egos by allocating points to any stat. All stats can eventually be maxed out,
I hope this means we'll actually be able to see the stats on the different trusts!
Furthermore... what does it mean to max out a stat? It sounds like we are upgrading only these: HP, MP, STR, DEX, VIT, AGI, MND, INT, CHR
When it says stats can be maxed out? does it mean there is a clearly stated cap? or I can get their AGI up to 999?
and we can't reallocate so I want to plan my allocations. This actually sounds fun IF I can see their current stats.
Maybe I want to make Lilisette's CHR just insane for bigger waltz cures.
Maybe I want the most ridiculously evasive Amchuchu, or the BIGGEST HP pool on Valaineral.
Will this include Unity trusts? what happens if I switch Unity?
I find this change REALLY interesting.
Back to the trust gear questions:
Can I have August, permanently wearing the Founders set so his Killer Effect is high?
Can I give Gessho the Yagyu Darkblade?
How about a Daybreak for a whm or rdm? Will they start doing dispelga?
There are some niche pieces of equipment that might be super useful for specific trusts. The ones w/ peculiar mechanics especially are of interest.
IF they let us give player equipment to trusts.
Daybreak for Ingrid II might make her a much more powerful nuker of undead.

So i grabbed the new version and my hacked lua Helix duration with 30 in it from a few weeks ago was still there, never touched it and the duration looks to be correct (maybe +/- 3-5 seconds).
Thanks!

(they could have better gear/know how to gear better, but I don't think that would explain the gap in WS damage that can be easily eyeballed)
Eyeball is not a good test. My WS avg during a recent Limbus run was 5k dmg higher as a Stage 4 Foenaria vs a Stage 5, but he had 25 more WS than me in Apollyon due to severe lag. He was also ML50 vs my ML34. Both Hoxne Ampulla and same gear/Nyame rank. Now, I probably was holding TP higher and maybe he was WSing at 1k for speed, so it could be any number of factors between the two that translates to the difference in damage. And this was comparing the same weapon and job. So with eyeballing Origin vs Torcleaver, it's not always going to be clearly obvious which WS is stronger just from looking at a log. From my personal experience, I haven't noticed a significant bump in damage between Origin and Torcleaver, but I would have to pay closer attention to it next time I use Caladbolg (which I rarely do anymore). No disagreement there. Would love to see some controlled tests.
the lack of accuracy on it also dosent do it any favors in comparison Yeah. Wish it had some accuracy in its augments.

Odin now, huh?
Can we get odds on the next server to be somehow overrun?
Genuinely, what’s the end goal of closing down a 3rd server and when does it end? This feels like a lazy fix to a problem SE don’t want to address. Ultimately it’ll just end up hurting the game if SE closes every server they deem too big. You can only funnel people into smaller servers so much - especially without any incentive to leave a higher pop server.
Congestion is a problem, for instance for things like Ambuscade during vanabout or something. They have to try spread people around.
However I think it's also about RMT
If you have a large population server the RMT go onto it, then farm gil in any and all ways possible. They get banned, but they don't care since they just buy a new copy of the game and start again and again. Getting banned is just a cost they take into account, and it's all automated anyway. They even buy pre-leveled accounts (and other rmt were leveling them to sell).
The easy fix it to take the most profitable servers for RMT and simply close them. The RMT that remain are the ones that make gil in methods that attract less attention, cause getting banned is now a big deal. They can't easily replace those accounts.
Closing the biggest servers did serious damage to the rmt industry on XI, and since they cause all kinds of annoying problems it's a net positive. They destroy the economy, abuse any weakness with hacking, cause problems for players, force them to put more manpower into banning etc. They buy new copies but it's probably far more annoying than it's worth.
They also cannot open these servers in future, cause if they do the problem will simply start again and endless botted level 1 characters will begin again.
The reason this won't happen on other servers anytime soon is there simply are not enough customers on those to make the entire thing even worth bothering with, you can bot 100 billion gil but if you can't sell it what's the point?

Phoenix.Enochroot said: »I'm on Phoenix, have been from the start, and not terribly panicked.
We've already started getting the occasional shout from folks wanting to buy merc services and they give up after a couple days because we don't really do that here. That sounds like what most of us said when Asura and Bahamut locked and the JP heavy server Odin was up next.

If you're on Phoenix. YOU need to panic.
I'm on Phoenix, have been from the start, and not terribly panicked.
We've already started getting the occasional shout from folks wanting to buy merc services and they give up after a couple days because we don't really do that here.
We've got one network of RMT shouting to sell exp[1]. We've got dyna and salv botters to sell currency[2]. We've got an active crafting shell that buys and sells to keep things stocked (these folks rock, actually). We've got a strong jp community. I think we'll weather the storm fairly well at this stage of the game.
All that being said, Phoenix is a hellhole, you don't want to come here.

First off: NYAME set. I got a carry and have the base set. Is it better to focus one piece at a time or level them up evenly. Is there a rank I should aim to hit before moving to another piece?
If you can get free RP it doesn't matter because you'll be done quick, but if you're limited, spread it across the pieces. You'll get a better increase for your character sooner if you RP multiple pieces past a certain rank vs just one. You can also hold off on RPing the body, head and legs if you like, as you can get the JSE empyrean head, af body and relic legs which all offer Weaponskill Damage. It's a relatively easy upgrade that will boost your damage a lot for lesser effort than spamming Bumbas. The Empyrean +3 head goes a long way on BLU, too, so there's no rush to rank Nyame head path B if you don't want to.
Secondly, HTMB. Between myself and my buddy, we have a LOT of JSE to reforge. What kind of gear level should I be at before duo VD fights for chapters with trust support? I have base nyame, naegling, working on the TP sword now. I have my BLU neck+2. A smattering of ammo items for STP and a random assortment of earrings/rings some are BIS from what i see on the guides but I don’t have a “complete” BiS set for anything.
You can do it right now. The fights are all easy, and you can just wear Nyame 5/5, sleep adds, and kill one by one. Its incredibly easy now, go in and spank em.
Lastly, Is BLU + GEO a solid setup for lowman? Would we get better results if he went SCH/BRD/COR/RDM?
BLU is a phenomenal solo job if you are geared and proficient with the job. I would say BLU+BRD can cover pretty much everything you need to accomplish. BRD can buff with songs, BLU can cap haste on his own, heal, DD, crowd control support if needed. BRD supports with crowd control. GEO would work too, kind of the same difference, unless the BRD is lacking song+ gear, GEO might get better attack buffs and can focus on healing more. I think both are a good combination. Even BLU+COR is great with rolls, you have options.

Unless you're specifically trying to boost enspell dmg, not really no.

Going to try and sit down this weekend and see if i can figure it out myself, but will ask just in case someone already knows.
I assume R0 items are not worth wearing at the moment, if right then when would items rank make it worth it? I assume this is a very nuanced and complicated question. I love new shinny but dont want to invest/wear them and suffer massively. Thanks again for all the insight /bow.

We are all old enough that a thread asking how old we are turns into a "how to stop aches and pains" thread on page 1.
As the kids say these days, we're just a bunch of "old people born in the 1900s."

Since Malignance gloves have much more STP than other pieces, I'd probably do: Body > Feet > Head > Legs > Hands, assuming that the augments work the way we think they do.

Great advice Otomis. I've been doing exactly the same things. The biggest one that has improved my life is getting off social media. These forums are the only place that I post/read anything. I don't doom-scroll any social media, I have an extension on my browser that hides comments on YouTube. I've eliminated all sources of outside influence on my thoughts and I have never felt so clear headed and present in my daily life.
After healing your mind by removing social media, diet and exercise are the next important ones. Find a way to get exercise that isn't traditional exercise, you want to find something you enjoy doing. I personally really like using Virtual Reality, something like Beat Saber or FitXR. I've got heartrate data from 30mins on an elliptical vs 30mins of Beat Saber. They're so similar it's shocking and 30mins absolutely flies by in VR.

I dunno about the order. I think personally I would go body > hands/feet > legs > head.

Thanks for the replies. I really havent payed much attention to limbus in a while so am behind of the latest and greatest gear. I am starting to do Limbus more and was doing quick and dirty to figure out how valuable Sworn would be for me.. Some of the other sets look neat for other jobs but Hoxne is just OP and love it. Maybe sworn is better for BLU DRK though i use Hoxne for them also.
If i started on the sworn is there an order i should go in? Looks like currently R30 just one piece will take a long time.

From my analysis, I agree that Sworn + Hoxne will be behind Malignance + Hoxne, but not by much. The enspell will add some extra damage, but it will still lag behind just a little.
Sworn will have a lot of extra benefits (higher def/meva/hp/etc., extra TA will drop the cost associated with Hoxne by about half), so I'm still working on 5/5 Sworn.
One thing that will be hard to judge with sims is that with Malignance + Hoxne it is VERY easy to over cap TP. Getting both TA procs in one round is ~800TP, and you are often over 1750 TP. With Sworn you shouldn't have as much TP overflow. This should close the gap a little, but it is hard to gauge this impact.

The throwaway rmt farmers in absolute shambles. I'm too lazy to go look but I would guess gil prices on Asura are probably 3-4 times the price they were on Odin.
Now that will change.

i hope to get some better insight if I can please. Sworn gives you more acc and more defensive stats than Malignance with the addition of 34% TA and 41 en-spell damage, at the cost of 50 STP.
Slightly different if you mixed Malignance with Bunzi's Hat but you get what I mean.
Now normally, at least on a hunch, I would have zero doubt on wearing full Sworn, which also gets you to, what, around ~75% TA with capped Temper2?
But you're asking specifically for Hoxne Ampulla users. Which means that whenever you don't QA or TA, your DA is gonna be guaranteed.
Tough question. On a hunch I'd say the best result might be some mix and match?
I would take the result from the Damage Simulator with a grain of salt though.
Don't get me wrong Izanami's simulator is truly heavensent, but in the latest versions me and other people noticed that while it's still just as accurate with stuff like WS sets, magic sets etc, sometimes in some specific circumstances it's giving odd results with TP sets.
Is this the case here with your example? I can't say, just warning you in general.

It depends how stupid people are (no question, but lets pretend!) A betting man would tell you option 1 is a 100% guarantee.
Do they do the dipshit move and just start flooding phoenix cause it's next in line.
Do they do the semi intelligent thing and go to quetz, cause it will take longer to become closed.
(*)Sidenote, I think that shiva is the fastest growing server, it used to be dead *** last but it's population has slowly doubled since 2018
Do they do the smart thing and advertise a proper server where they'll find the most help/helpful people (ragnarok)
((sorry chat, if it were my choice your server gets flooded next. Good with the bad. But they're stupid so you don't have to worry about it))
Or does square give up this idiocy before those can happen??
Don't give people any ideas.... Quetz is fine just the way it is!! We don't need any more people. Our quiet one-horse town where everyone knows everyone is perfect right now.

Hoping to get some insight into where Sworn gear fits in for RDM if you have Hoxne Ammo. I have been using the damage sim for a bit and far as I can tell from the info it gives for a TP set using the ammo and a standard STP build like this one below it shows more STP and faster TP gain. I haven't tried adjusting for hybrid yet so maybe that is when sworn would pull ahead or maybe the enspell is more potent that i realize.
Was just looking at how fast you could generate TP and from what i can tell based on the sim below TP set is better than a sworn set.
I am sure I am missing something here and that is why i hope to get some better insight if I can please.
Code sets.tp['Hoxne'] = {
head=Bunzi.hd,
neck="Anu Torque",
lear="Crepuscular Earring",
rear="Dedition Earring",
body=Malignance.bd,
hands=Malignance.hn,
lring=ChirichRing.l,
rring=ChirichRing.r,
back=Ambuscade.stp,
waist="Sweordfaetels +1",
legs=Malignance.lg,
feet=Malignance.ft,
}
sets.tp.dw['NIN'] = {
lear="Eabani Earring",
waist="Reiki Yotai",

This seems so cool
Crazy how fans get so excited for nintendo doing the bare minimum when ppl can do this
YouTube Video Placeholder This looks neat, I'll have to check it out.
My wife was talking about wanting to get these for $30. I told her we should just go buy the actual cartridges from our local game store instead.
It got me thinking about how different gaming and owning games is now. I still have all my old systems and a bunch of games for them. I can pop in a cartridge and play anything whenever I want. Every PC game I've "purchased" for the past 15 years requires me to download it from Steam, sign into some launcher, download more stuff from them, then if I'm lucky I'll get to play it. More often I'm gonna be stuck trying to get my controller working, display setup correctly, graphic settings adjusted... I'm getting very close to becoming a console player again. PC gaming is frustrating these days.
I'm sure if society collapses and we lose the internet, I probably won't be putting many hours into Pixel Remasters, but GDI I want to have that option still!

I used to take Advil a lot. Then I listened to a couple doctors and high level athletes on (trigger warning) Joe Rogan and they changed my mind. As I quit taking it 4-7 times per week, my headaches went away. After about a month of not taking it, I barely ever need it anymore. I've been off it for years.
Alcohol was another huge contributor for my perceived need for Advil. My body doesn't know what to do with that stuff anymore. I honestly don't miss it.
