Bind %a whatever you have bound to make your pet attack

the % sign tells it not to use the bind key if chat log is open

I actually figured out there was a pre-req quest to do that called Fertile ground. Lol >.<

Oh, didn't realize that was a prereq, or that my mule didn't finish it apparently.

Yeah I didn't either lol, but figured I'd share so no more people had to ask @.@

I'm recovering from a disk failure and have not been able to play FFXI since the last update.

I heard that Enmity has issues at the moment:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/31754-Enmity-imbalance

How bad is it really? Playable, broken, or do players still need time to adjust?

Anyone have any info on rod/bait used for the quest "Don't ever leaf me" the Foret leg of the quest. Anything will help^^

Edit: Got one using Halycon rod and worm lure. Went 1/1 after getting closer to a Reive though which seems to affect it the most.

Out-of-game related sorta, but probably best here none the less.
I'm looking to duel-box FFXI but have a separate input for each instance of the game; be it One controller for one screen or one Controller one keyboard. Kinda like split-screen XI, but on two monitors.
Anyone know of any way to do this?

Is it me, or wouldn't Morri+1 Body/Hands/Feet be better than Nares Head/Hands for nuking? Especially with the MAB+5 set bonus from Morri+1. It might be marginal if the Morri+1 Hands didn't have Magic Acc+11 on it.

Need clarification!

To the best of my knowledge there's no simple way to do this; XI won't catch input that's done while it's not active. From a programming standpoint, it's possible to create.. have a third program in focus that interprets input and sends to the appropriate instances(can be done through windower's existing hook).

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else: Which slip is twilight scythe? I've googled twilight scythe nerf/portermoogle etc etc etc.

Frankly since SE is giving mouth-service to the functionally HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE players on this item I'll probably just leave it with the NPC. I mean.... 60 seconds of use every 10 minutes, but I have to wait 10 seconds to use it. If i'm putting it on for the situations that I previously used to toy with twilight I might blow 10-15 seconds because I was close to 100tp/aftermath/not paying attention.

anyhow /rant. Can someone help me find the way to "fix" this and possible get it out of my inventory til I actually need it?

What does Paresis resilience KI do? I thought it was so that the little flowers wouldn't paralyze you but I still got paralyzed lol

While the morri+1 set bonus would basicly make the gloves equal as far as MAB goes, Nares head + hands set bonus is +2 INT.

Are Geomancer and Rune fencer on any of the JSE armour? BG says no, but not sure how up to date that is.

The poison one reduces the poison from 50/tick to 20/tick, it's possible it lowers the para procrate or duration?

All new items from this update are listed here, and Run and Geo have no form of JSE. JSE outside of artifact etc doesn't really exist now, Mnk Rng Smn Blu Cor Pup Dnc Sch never even got a lv.70 version(Not that it matters now).

Has anyone had any luck getting decent Bayld from Reives on Sch? I've gained 3x as much bayld on my (crap) pld compared to my Sch, and I'm not even actively playing it during the reives(Voke, switch to Sch, WS at some point).
I know there was an issue with points from healing, but I'm not even getting crap from nuking(Roots or Mobs). Never leveling a melee on this character, so not really sure what to do about bayld on it. Does have an 81 Bst but that is clearly useless. Really like to get that gear for this character but running out of quests for bayld already.

I'm wondering this as well. Since SoA came out I've yet to play anything other than PLD (I really enjoy playing it, so I was on PLD most of the time before hand). I've had zero issues with Cure V/VI on my whm mule while empy farming in Abyssea, but that might be due to the enmity adjustments being great for PLD.

where can i find info on how to blu 1hr correctly?

The poison one I noticed, yeah, but the para one procced 4 times in a row last night before finally wearing off. Maybe just bad luck? I didn't pay attention to duration, though, I'll see if I can find someone who doesn't have the KI to test it.

Edit: More like compare, not test.

Thinking on rune fencer setups: if you do not have a portus collar, would the suggested neck be Houyi's gorget? Agasaya's collar? (no sea torque as well)

Edit: realized RUN isn't on Agasaya's or Rioter's

Is there a place to buy instant warp scrolls in Adoulin?

I don't believe they are. Though I wouldn't it put it past them being an unlockable if certain coalition levels are met. Granted those levels could be higher than the 3 levels coalitions are currently capped at.

Bleh, I've been so spoiled with easy access to warps. I'm curious if it's simply an oversight on their part...

Is there a way to determine which ADL is the real one once he splits? (Never attempted him before fyi.)

Never.

Did the server go down for maintenance today already?

I think they're possibly unlockable since some Coalition levels are geared toward convenience like movement speed in the city and I think I saw mention of unlocking Ru'Lude as a destination going from Adoulin > Jeuno. Granted I'm more unsure about that second one than I am about the first.

If you could shoot lasers from any body part of your choosing, which body part and why?

So after the patch that happened on tuesday my xbox has been freezing every time I zone for like 20-30 secs and start getting red dot. Ive done a file check to see if anything was corrupted and nothing was, is this happening to anyone else and is there anyway to fix it? as it is getting annoying.

I'm trying to set up Windower 4 for my second monitor which has a resolution of 1600 x 900. I never had any issues with this resolution on 3.4, but 4 will not allow me to use it. Any ideas?
