So I just resubscribed yesterday, I had taken a break right before SoA came out. I started the cutscenes, and have now arrived in Adoulin, and I stand here wondering....where do I begin? I hear about skirmishes, delve, among other things, and instead of trying to take it all in at once, where should I start for some sort of progression?

Any help would be appreciated.

I enjoy being with my NPC, but i can't call her in Ceizak Battlegrounds, anyone know if SE will allow NPCs to be called here any time soon?
It would be nice to be able to call her in an area where monsters are lv100+

I haven't heard any plans for it yet but now that I think about it... I wonder if it will be harder to implement them in the new areas because of the ability to randomly join reives at any time.

I thought they were working on this, and that's why they raised the NPC level cap.

I'm a little confused on the wording of BGwikis Coalition Assignments "Personal Standing".
When trying to rank up, is it better to use 3 imprimaturs x 5 or 1 imprimatur x 15?
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone mathed out magic evasion? I felt that it helped with stopping enfeebling spells from landing on you, but does it also help with "dodging" nukes to the degree that you take less damage more often?

Does magic evasion help you resist nukes more often, and how does it compare to the less "chancy", more concrete MDB values?

Doesn't matter.

It only effects the amount of bayld/exp you get.

Can someone tell me how to prevent Windower 4 from changing my FFXI Config to full screen?

I've been logging in without Windower for the login points so I don't crash while going through my 25 characters. But every time I open FFXI after using Windower, it changes it back to full screen and then I rage when it crashes any windower windows I currently have open.

Try making a new profile with new resolution settings and using that one to login. Note that add-ons and plugins would still apply for that profile that you set.

Is there anywhere where you can kill leeches in large groups? I'm trying to a staff trial but leeches are always too far apart or too scarce. I tried Oubliette, Highlands, and Shakrami but the pulls are too small or things began to despawn. Any other suggestions?

Yes it helps you resist nukes more often but you need such a large amount of it due to most nms having brutal magic accuracy that it's just not practical usually.

Thinking of it for like a RDM Kirin solo mostly. If Baraero and the new magic evasion pieces can push those TP spam moves down into bearable ranges of damage, maybe Kirin can be solo'd with RDM.

There's already a YouTube video of a rdm soloing Kirin. That gear would just make it easier.

Nice! Dang, in the video, that wind based TP move still wrecking him pretty bad. So yeah, like you said should probably make it a bit easier.

well there is some soloable quests, but to really enjoy the new content, you will need a decent Linkshell, pick up groups are not that good. there are some things which you can be part of without a LS maybe such as getting revies and some bayld, but for the most part a good LS is where you can get the most things done such as getting KI for new weapons and farming plasma which should be a goood start for you , there is other things to do i guess but i recomend that becase the new weapons and gear will help a lot .

Are there enough quests in Adoulin to get to level 9 fame? I don't think I saw any repeatable ones so it doesn't seem like it, or do Coalition assignments count towards fame too?

You don't need an additional plugin. Save a text file to ../windower4/scripts/gearing.txt

In that text file, write something like:
Code
input /equip head "Optical Hat" <me>;
input /equip neck "Peacock Charm" <me>;
etc.


Go into game and type:
//exec gearing.txt

This will run the script, which will input the equip commands and swap your gear. You can use this to swap as much gear as you want. You can also use it to activate abilities (input /ja "Provoke" <t>), etc.

I think you need to put:

/console exec gearing.txt

inside macros. And then yeah, it'll work like normal.

When it comes to those files, you don't do "input /wait 1", you just type "wait 1"
You can even do "wait 0.5" and so on.
