@Tou: I'll just say that Spellcast in particular will be incredibly hard to use if loading and unloading plugins is a hassle. A good grasp of the windower console helps a ton, but it's mostly just XML code, so if you understand that you might be somewhat well-off. Spellcast will work with every job for almost any situation you can imagine depending on how complex you want to get with your XML code.
If plugins are crashing, replace your hook.dll with this one provided by the Windower Dev as their new BETA: http://aikar.us.to/Hook.dll
My favorite plugins for being useful are: - Cancel (allows you to script cancelling Utsu: Ichi shadows) - Recast - Infobar - Chatmon (allows programmable audio triggers to specific words in chat log) - Expwatch - lightluggage - Silence (crops out "gear change" notices from chat log) - Tickle (times when your MP will tick when resting) - Zonetimer (tracks how long you've been in a zone) - Statustimer (tracks length of statues) - Yarnball (like recast for buffs! Similar to statustimer.)
I don't have time to get into a discussion on the Windower plugins thing, but
Spellcast is the best thing to happen to me in FFXI since I got my Ridill.
No. Really. It's that good.
Typing "//c3 e" and having everything automatically equip is soooooo much more preferable than having to hit a macro or, god forbid, "/ma "Cure III" Enternius".
Time is money. If I can spend 200k now and do minimal effort, I'll do that rather than spend 7 hours wandering around in the past with true sight mobs dying and losing all my SCH buffer.

So you have to type the commands instead of hitting like R2 and X?

Oh, no you don't have to. You can make it a macro too, obviously, just throw a //c3 <t> in the macro, even that is easier to do than normal macro scripting.
Paying for AF is friggin awesome. Who wants to farm *** coffers and keys? lol
Yeah DNC really lucked out. Head on over to the SCH AF page and see what we had to do to get our AF. ><
Dude.. 200k over Free? I'll take the free.
Pfff, 200k is honestly like nothing if you get a steady stream of income coming in. I don't think I've ever seriously farmed aside from playing in Boyhada with globbuez.
Yeah, I sent it to Cai earlier in a MSN message, then he lol'd and posted it on the thread. Then Kyri used it later on to exert her glee upon getting crimson body armor. It's still valid!

I made 2.3M last night just sitting around doing basically nothing.

I only died once doing SCH AF, that was on the one near some Djinns.
Spellcast has made the delicate balance between swords and staves on my BLU perfectly balanced in a way that would literally be impossible with Windower Scripts and most definitely with XI's own macros. lol Setting specific triggers based on MP percentages or hard values, weather, action status, currently active or not active buffs ..well that's just *** bonkers, hokay.

It's awwwwesome for BLM and SCH also, Uggalepih Pendant+Obis, perfectly scripted without having to do anything.
Also, gotta love the auto-unequipping Dusk gear when you're not in battle and stuff like that.
Oh, no you don't have to. You can make it a macro too, obviously, just throw a //c3 <t> in the macro, even that is easier to do than normal macro scripting.
So for simplicity, I could just add a second / to my macroes and take out the equipment swaps?
Cool...as..Hell
Once this session is over, I'll check the links and learn how to do this XML stuff
Yeah, they're really good. Not gonna l;ie, I'd abuse them if I was on PC and could figure them out. Three years wearing Dusk Gloves and I still catch myself running in them. And I still forget to swap in Ugly pendant sometimes. :/

Well there's that, yes but you can also program aliases into the system also, so like instead of having to type "/ma "Utsusemi: Ichi" Enternius" you can just type "//ichi" or //1 or something, and it would automatically equip any gear you want for Utsusemi.
For me.. personally.. part of playing XI is that really stupid tedious stuff they make you do. Like having to unequip gear for specific times yourself..etc..
Personal preference of course, I just think spellcast is that one step too far.. /shrug
I do agree that Spellcast really simplifies everything, but then again what windower plugin doesn't?

eople playing this game a different way for fun? MADNESS I SAY! MADNESS!

Yas, I freaking love the battle/idle/resting state sets for that very purpose. Helped tons before my BLU got homam hands. lol
I don't apply it to every job, because some things don't require that level of complexity, but for mages it's a god send.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
