Can someone please explain to me the basics of Gearswap? I have no idea how it works. How do I swap sets and what are keybinds?

Bhaflau 2 is easier, at least for most jobs since the Dvergr boss has impressive magic accuracy (even at 119) and casts at a very high frequency/speed. This is more significant if he uses his WSs that add things like Curse, Paralyze, Magic Def down, etc.
Bear in mind that the Cerberus/Othruses gain a significant PDT boost if you don't do any magic damage (or Requiescat), so be prepared to deal some manner of magic damage to win. BLU mows them down, and /RUN for many jobs helps a lot, though you'll need some self-healing too, so bear that in mind.

How many people do you need to kill Beist? the dragon unity nm
I cant find any info

You really don't need more than 6 for any of the UNM's. Beist I haven't done yet but he is probably not bad, probably some kind of curse gimmick that you can divine caress cursna to deal w/

The worst thing he does is ~3k damage AoE Body Slam. I'd recommend NIN or /NIN for DDs since his auto attacks do quite a bit of damage as well. Also, he doesn't use Chaos Blade (heavy Curse) from what I've experienced. He also has a decent intimidation rate on players. Overall it's not too bad, I'd say WHM BRD NIN is minimum you could do it with.

Is it true that you only receive experience for 8 kills at once in Abyssea? I heard that somewhere but it seemed weird to me. I'm in Abyssea in a raptor party a lot today but sometimes people will bring in 12 raptors at once and we kill it, and the records of eminence will count every kill but my log will only show between 2-7 exp gain messages from those 12 kills.
I've also heard people say you can get 1.3 million exp an hour in Abyssea but how is that possible, as we can keep the raptor camp on spawn and only get 350k with everything capped. I wouldn't kow about 1.3m/hour exp, but the rest is pretty much what I recall about abyssea exp. 8 simultaneous kill limit. But that's only for abyssea. In normal zones you can kill 30 mobs in one ws and get exp for all of them.
Regarding the log msgs, the game seems to have display issues when too much stuff happens simultaneously. When killing a 28 mob pull all on the same ws, I usually only got 2~3 exp msgs.

It's always been that way. It worked for low level SMN burns because you had tons of mobs in the pull with varying HP. Factor in resists and you rarely lost out on much EXP. Abyssean cleave parties made it more noticeable, but it was/is offset somewhat by chests and the sheer EXP/hr of a good Abyssea party.

I just had a BLU tell me that's a myth in my party. He said it doesn't show in the log, but will show in your bar. He pulled 11 raptors and I get 600exp for each, and I got 6600 exp so I guess he's right. And all 11 mobs died from the same attack?
If so, well. it contradicts what I recall, but it's not as if I've tested in abyssea recently. <,<

I tested the cap burning on BLU in Abby, checked exp before and after the pull, burned them all down to about 15%, counted and killed them all at once and checked exp after. The log only displayed 12 kills but I got the exp for all 16 based on the exp per kill in the log.
I'm guessing it's just a display cap, you do indeed get the exp for all of them. That's as of like 95 cap, but I doubt they've changed anything.

While I don't have any recent exp in abyssea, I have done some mass cleaving recently in adoulin zones. And I can confidently attest that you get exp/cp credit for more than 8 simultaneous kills.

So just got a 3 day ban today, sucks, how can I tell if it's temp or perma? For the record I suspect it's probably for movement speed hacking, although I recently clipped through ***in abyssea-attowha because...*** that zone.
It would suck if I got perma on my first ban especially considering all the other more blatant botting that has happened in recent history but I can't really complain, it's like a burglar complaining about being caught when there are murderers on the loose.
So I'm at work right now, is there a way to find out what ban I have or will I only find out later?

If its 3 days that means its temp.

If its 3 days that means its temp. Thanks, I hope that's the case, as much as it pains me, I'm gonna have to stop using clipper and run at 0% extra movement speed so my mule can keep up.

When CP was introduced, it initially did not, but it was fixed and now does.
