Maintenance mode lol

Bummer! Thanks.

Are the Esthete pieces from later VR missions storable? If so, which slip?

Gonna store them on the floor otherwise.

Does master level impact trust level?

Well, biggest boost is the quests that raise their level. Cheers also help, though.

Can anything be done with NQ Ambuscade armor if you've also acquired the +1 of the same piece?

Nope, just toss it.

You can upgrade NQ to +1, but that's not too worthwhile when you can just buy +1 outright.

Has anyone ever figured out if Resist All Status Ailments stacks additively with specific Resist Status gear/traits, or if it's a separate term?

I'm seeing JP Bots farm/sell in REMA these days.

Are they getting more competitive, outright ballsy, or the bans really have taken a step back to that degree?

Full on bard rema going down with carn / dardaubla is big *** I-don't-give-a-*** energy to me.

bans are straight up not happening. They don't give a ***.

The galka bots alone should account for more than 800 bans, but they are clearly not banning anyone.

They have full on stopped manually reviewing reports and solely rely on pos hacking for bans now. (automated) I can't even be sure if the shout bots are getting banned anymore. They change names, but as often as they do feels like 805 bans is too low for them to be changing them due to needing new accounts.

805 is 2 bans, per server, per day. That cannot be possible. There are so, so, so, so, so, so many more bots than that.

I wipe the sleep out of my eyes and do a double look lmao.

Okay. So they just feel secure then. Makes sense.

It's the same cycle everytime.

They do a big show of bans, they taper off, they stop, people start getting bolder and feel invincible, the bots out number the players, big ban, no bans, emboldened, excessive, repeat.

They're about a year past due on starting the new cycle lol. So they just get more and more and more brazen.

On Lakshmi, every week change (and kind of just all the time) a bunch of keyboard smash mules pos hack between the spark and accolade NPCs, which is frankly rude considering they are next to each other.

Waypoints > Tab over and run 4 yalms

I always assumed they were your mules...

Speaking of Sparks/Accolades, my mule has a prize powder price of 100 gil while my main has 102. Both have capped fame and are rank 10 in Bastok, which is where I sell them.

Are there certain quests or other requirements other than fame to reach max NPC sell price?

What's really *** rude is they stand ON TOP of the god damn npcs and it's irritating, having to actually hit F8 instead of just targeting the NPC.

Can you mix +1, +2 and +3 Empyrean pieces and still receive the set bonus?
Did anybody test this thoroughfully?

Going back to this, I'm using the following:

Plantoid
Great Warrior
Stillness
Supreme Might
Might
extra runes to increase the marble yield (not using Lost and Found)

Is this the right setup to farm Lycopodium Earring? I haven't seen any drop yet so I'm just wondering if I'm even using the right setup for it.

How much accuracy is needed for King Ranperre's Locus Dire Bats?

That should be a fine setup. I was honestly going like 1/3 on some kind of rquipment when doing it with roughly that setup.

I have the same question. My character's prices are just lower than my wife's. Same fame, Mission Ranks, etc. In Sandy instead of Bastok though.

Are you 100% certain that your fame in Sandy is the same as yours wife in Bastok?

Thanks I was looking at your references for mamool ja earring, but for lycopodium earring I think I'm nearing something like 0/50 with this setup. Hopefully it'll turn around soon.

If you have seen two equipment with that setup and lycopodium earring wasn't one of them, then maybe my map is wrong. I think I still have one on my mule, though, so it seems unlikely to me.

I answer my own question.
Just tried BRD set with 4x +1 pieces and 1x +2 pieces. Still receive the stat+5 bonus as I did with 5x +1 pieces.
Safe to assume combinations with +3 pieces work alike.

Does Counter work against Naakuals? I feel like I've never seen it activate, but I don't see anywhere that says it doesn't. But because a lot of their attacks are either AoE or knockback, I'm curious if maybe it's not just coincidence.

No. Their attacks are all technically tp moves, which is how they get the interesting and varied effects, so it cannot proc. Same as ironclad giants.
