Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Thanks! and that's good to know. I have a few blues...they're my best gear on a few jobs heh.

To those who play/ed XIV...is there a FFXI version of the Glamour system? I'm seeing Starting gear graphics on some people with lv 99 equipment.

It was the static PC armor setting I think. I turned it off and I don't see it anymore.

Hi.

How relevant are the magian staves (avatar affinity) to smn nowadays? Worth the trouble of farming them?

If yes, what are the cleaving methods a smn can use to finish the "pet deal finishing blow" trials?

Thanks in advance.

Yes its a much simpler system though.

You equip X Y Z or armour type /lockstyle on and it saves what your char looks like you can then equip any gear you want after that. All the Glamours reset if you zone or log out.

Not really. Best is just to get the JSE staff Gridarvor for Avatar perpetuation. For Physical you can get the Soulscourge or Delve 119 Path A. Hell even the JSE staff will do just cause of the Accuracy. Course nothing beats Nirvana 119.

For Magic damage you have a list of upgrades.
For easy to get: Eminent Pole (114 MAB 10 MAC)
Medium: Balsam Staff/Astral Walker (120/121 MAB)
Hard: Uffrat +2 (95~130ish MAB)
(DAMN YOU STONES!!!!) Not even sure the last one is worth it tbh I just know it's a pain in the ***. Also idk the exact amount of MAB you can get on it, which is why there is an 'ish' there.

silly question, can i flag a trial for relic equipment (af2) and still upgrade them to 109?

I got impatient and traded them in with the trial on, she took them and the papers.

So the 109 vers gets the augments then?

For what it's worth you can upgrade without canceling the trial, if that was the reason for your question.

Edit: Yes, every Relic 109/119 has the augment of the 99 version regardless of if you actually did the trial for it or not. The only incentive to finish trials now a days is to save 5 pages.

Yeah this was originally my question, but now I'm wondering if I get the augment or not lol

edit- ty! :D

Hi.

Is it reasonable bringing a thf to salvage for the sake of alex/plans, or /thf? Im not worried about if its possible to clear as thf, but if its noticeable the change.

Thanks in advance.

What is the general strategy for Einherjar now-a-days? Specifically for farming ichor and for taking down Odin. I'm considering starting a mythic; haven't done Einherjar since the 75 cap, so a bit lost on how to approach this.

Can this be done with 2-3 people, solo? Which jobs?
Any tricks that I need to be aware of?

Anyone care to help me with a GS problem?

Running into a problem on line 40:

It's saying = expected near "Bow."

This only started happening after I replaced all Yoichinoyumi w/ Eminent Bow. I wouldn't really care since I barely use bow anyway, but would be nice for VW and so I stop getting the error lol

Thanks in advance!

You need to have it say ['Eminent Bow'] instead of .Eminent Bow

Lua is interpreting your " Bow" as another variable name.

Yes, perfectly possible and quite often done.

I gotcha, I figured it was the space that was messing it up, and I didn't think leaving it un-spaced or with an underscore would help. Thanks Byrth

Hmm now it's saying "<name> expected near "[" in the same line. Sorry to bother you again.

edit: also what is the trigger to switch between regular, mid acc, and high acc sets? For this GS I simply modified Bokura's gear set if you need to see the file for examples (I tried posting it here but too many characters - Here's the link. Thanks in advance

do sparks > get basic eminence gear(i117) (highly soloable or small group friendly)

do skcnm rematches > get 109 af/relic, at least the pieces most beneficial to your job(can choose your own difficulty, normal mode shouldn't be challenging for any group of 6 and the rewards come fast.. if you have 119s in the mix you'll probably want to try difficult mode)

do skirmish > get low acc 119 gear (don't necessarily need a full group of 6 for rakazanar, yorcia can be done with a couple people, still very easy)

work on delve and mission bc rematches to get high acc 119 gear and 119 af/relic


you can skip straight to delve/mission bcs if you have a horn/harp brd, a cor, a good whm, or friends who already do them

the low acc 119 gear from skirmish still remains useful whenever you do any lesser content, while delve2/119 af/relic tends to compose most of what you'd use in high end content

Has anyone experienced a problem with the npcs that do augments in inventors coalition, disappearing?

Something related to that you mean?
