When you get a new piece of gear:

//org freeze inventory export

Open the export lua in an editor
Copy the item from the export lua
Open the inventory folder and paste/edit the item for any jobs necessary
If you use it, update your GS and keep it in your invenotry
If you don't use it, update your GS anyway but put in in your dump bags with ALL the rest of your gear.

Change to BLU
//org o - pulls BLU gear into inventory
Change to SMN
//org o - pulls gear to inventory
Change back to BLU
//org o - returns BLU gear to inventory
//org g locker SMN - moves your SMN gear to your locker???*



*This assumes you can condense your SMN gear to just the locker, but you could repeat with other [bag] as needed. That or condense your gear to one bag AND make that bag a dump bag so you don't have to add additional commands. Even better, load the //org o command with your job luas for ez mode and just pretend the GS integration isn't broken?


To be completely fair to whoever wrote them, a few lines of text isn't really enough to call instructions. Most people are smarter than I am and they are still not going to understand what is happening; even fewer would be able to predict what would happen unless they read and understood the code.

Anyone know what controls the Abyssea roaming Avatar NM spawns in the three Scars of Abyssea areas?

There's a note on the ffxiclopedia page for Tejas in Attohwa:

Jala in Misareaux has a more decisive note, but with no source info anywhere on the page:

And for Fulmotondro in Vunkerl they just split the difference:

Bastion would make sense, as a thing nobody does. But I've never seen any of those three nerds. They're a big source of Amber light so I'd like to use them when farming if they're around when I show up, they just never are.

Are there any shenanigans or titles with changing your home point a lot?

Yes
it changes your title to "for the streets"


Cause youre always changing home point
Get it??

Recently returned but I did manage to get on for the free bonanza kupon and I'm wondering, as someone who mostly only plays pup (mythic), drk and whm (no rmea on either) these days, are any of the weapons worth it?

Easy question and hard question:

1) Are there red or blue mimics in Abyssea? I've only ever seen gold ones. I have seen random chests of those two colors that nobody spawned, but examining them gave me the chat message that I'm claiming them for myself and then they're a normal chest. Every mimic I've seen has been gold (and with a distinct model ID from an actual gold pyxis, which is very helpful!)

2) Where in the incoming packets that a red chest sends upon initial examination are the light details stored? I don't see anything consistent in either the 0x34 or the 0x5C. Blue and gold I've got figured out (more or less - how do you tell 600 cruor from a time extension?) but red is eluding me. Help very much appreciated because I'm working on a little something something for the Glavoid Gals of the world.
