Welcome to FFXI: Stat Vomit edition.

So I must get the item first, then after buying a weapon he'll mod my empyrean? Been trying to find info on this stuff but it's not much out there..

You have to beat a new Sacred Crest fight on Difficult or Very Difficult, or beat a Delve boss, or win a high tier BC (V2.0 AA, DM round 2, Ouryu, Tenzen) fight on Normal or above. Once you do that, you can trade your Kannagi 99 in for the lvl 119 version, with

DMG:106 Delay:210 AGI+20 Katana skill +242 Parrying skill +242 Magic Accuracy skill +215 "Blade: Hi" Aftermath: Occ. deals double damage.

Reference this page for RME upgrades
NPC Orobo

I've killed a Delve megaboss, how hard are the other two things?

oh, not to bad...

not too bad....


Now to get insane AF+1991929312093123

I'm looking forward to Empyrean reforged gear, sounds like it'd be something to really work on for RDM since I am in my Empyrean +2 for 70% of a lot of runs to constantly do and redo hastes, protects, ascession/phalanxs, etc. Maybe the enhances will be a little better since the fast cast and refresh got upped on some of the relic and artifact gear, or maybe it'll just be some enhancing magic casting time -% with some stats and skill ups, but either way it sounds pretty exciting for someone like me who only plays Red Mage.

119 AF/relic WAS mainly not for casual players, but as the crafting items have dropped so much in price and chapters drop from almost everything, if someone doesn't have at least the important few 119 pieces for their main job(s), they're not trying very hard at all.

Lately ive seem lots of 7-8 man pugs, i dont know why.
I know you can clear with no problem with 6 persons, be it 3 dds whm brd sch or 2 dds cor brd whm sch. Its similar.
I dont really see a point bringing extra person tbh, but geo can help a lot with the currently enpowered indi/geo fury, or rdm so you can diversify brds songs, but really, you just need march and minuet to clear old delve.
Dds i would say sam and mnk, if 2 dds, or samx2 mnk or mnkx2 sam if 3 dds. Bringing mnk to old delve is very helpful for tricky nms, and sam to reduce the time to do the zone.

For a farming mule Eminent baghnakhs or Maochinoli? Only farming salvage with this guy. Maochinoli not augmented right now.

Mao wit OaT and whatever you want, crit rate+4 pretty nice ;)

The only reason to pick eminent over Maochinoli would be to boost your acc even if you never augment it.

Hi, is there anyway I can make my character appear like shes wearing Arciela's armour? Via dress up or dat swaps?

Thanks!

The times on the wikia page are PST. Currently PDT until November.

COR can do well in 1.0 but don't lv it just to get invite. It's currently competing against SAM and MNK for a DD spot, without appropriate gear/experience it can be replaced by another 119 DD easily.

DD spot is really, really competitive atm, you have to be good to get a spot unless you have a group of close friend to roll with.

If your friend wants easy invite lv support/mages.

RDM or GEO is better than SCH for stuns IMO, unless your SCH can somehow deal more dmg to compensate the extra haste/buff RDM and GEO can provide.

If you're doing content that doesn't need the additional acc/atk from the higher skill (dynamis, salvage, rala/cirdas/yorcia skirmishes etc), the WKR with OAT will undoubtedly be your best offhand. Nothing will compare to the dps of ~40% double attack.

[edit] I'm not sure which NMs you're referring to, but anything in old delve to current content will likely want to use 119s for weapons.

Each weapon has its own check. Doing a /checkparam will show your main and offhand accuracy and attack.

The weapon skill+ on ilvl weapons are calculated individually for each hand, so yes you will wiff more with the offhand sword if it is a lower ilvl. A for OAT and DA, they stack but not in the way you probably think.

Multi-attacks are processed in an order QA -> TA -> DA -> OAT with no ability for one to be procced on the hit of one of the others(there are a few odd exceptions on that rule but it's moot at this point). If a Multi-attack higher in the order is procced, then that's it, that attack goes through and none of the others are checked. Otherwise, if say QA fails to proc then the next one, TA in this case, is checked and this continues down the line until either a multi-attack is procced or you reach the end of your multi-attack chances. Basically OAT only has a chance to proc if QA, TA, and DA all fail to proc on a normal attack round. This doesn't necessarily make it bad though as it tends to cover up for when you miss out on a DA round and the high rate of OAT on the 115 weapons makes it excellent on anything that doesn't require the accuracy of a higher ilvl weapon.

TLDR: Multi-attacks process in an order.
OAT and DA don't stack, but they don't work against each other either.
Accuracy/Attack from Weapon Skill+ is calculated individually.

Does Utils no longer function properly?

The only time I had previously used this was to rename the lamps for NNI, but thought about being lazy and renaming the ph's for the last couple Empyrean trials I have... but...

When I changed the names they didn't change to my change, they turned into "NPC"

Ok, here is a question that is boggling me and I don't want to waste time with the wrong solution.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...I did PART of the thf af quests. I got the first peice (head), started and completed hands, and opened one coffer for the legs. I never god the body (coffer) or boots (last quest). I threw all that I had away long before I thought it would ever have use again.

Now I want to re-obtain the legs (and other pieces I am sure). Do I have to get the body and feet and throw them away, reflag and do over? Or can I just get the legs from the coffer again? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can try to reset the quest history with the NPC in lower jeuno, but chances are, you'll need to go hunt the other 2 coffers to complete that quest before you can do that.

Yeah, I tried and thf was not listed...this is very, very sad news.

Just go do the coffers, it's not like getting a coffer key on thf is tough.

None of it is tough, just a lot more time consuming than I had hoped. I have to do one coffer, two quests (I just discovered I never finished the head quest), throw my new prizes away, and do it all again. Of course, I will do it, its just a little kick in the ***, is all. Thanks again for your help.
