Whats the best mobs to farm Duelist's Chapeau from in Dynamis - Xarcabard?

Everything :P

I'm considering coming back. I stopped a few months back due to not being able to afford it. As far as I can tell nothing major and new came out since I quit. I've been really nostalgic over playing. I miss my war and my dnc, I miss starting to level my d-box. 'Pinions?

lol thanks

There is a rdm NM by the satellite swords/Great swords.

Thanks i'll give it a bash tomorrow

What's recommended for WAR Group 2 merits? I have 5/5 Charge atm, just not sure the best way to split the rest.

Wars in my legion runs have 5/5 tomahawk 4/5 savagery 1/5 charge

I'd probably consider that about ideal for a warrior that does legion. If 2 other warriors in your group have 5/5 tomahawk, could drop some of those and go higher on charge.

Do you Have enough money to play ffxi atm?

What Sawtelle said is correct, IF you have relic+2 augmented head/feet. If you don't, then more than 2-3 tomahawk is kind of a waste.

So... was just about to pop back on after being on break for a bit, and I see this:

[NA]Action against RMT Activity Involving Power Leveling

We are currently investigating players who advertise power leveling services via Shout/Yell, collect gil from the participants, and then use that gil to engage in RMT-related activity. Our investigations thus far have revealed that these players regularly advertise in the Jeuno area and we have responded by terminating the FINAL FANTASY XI service accounts of those found guilty of this behavior.

Please be aware that advertising in such a manner in itself can be disrupting to other players and we may take action against players who continuously advertise for the above kind of parties. This also includes behavior that helps facilitate such activity. Please take caution in not supporting RMT-related activity.

In addition, if you witness other players engaging in this behavior, please report the details to the Special Task Force via the Square Enix Support Center.

I like that RMT are still being hit with the banhammer, but what is bothering me is it sounds like they're going to ban people who are legitimately just looking for compensation for their time in order to afford better gear as well... I guess what I'm asking is... does anyone know if they are actually investigating first and only banning if there is RMT activity for doing cleaves now, or are they going to ban normal hard working players as well in this mess...? Banning people who are simply looking for compensation for their time and effort to help afford better gear for their characters seems counterproductive to say the least...

(I know people used to pay for rdm power level back in the day before abyssea, and legit players didn't get banned then for it, but with the changing of the guard (figuratively speaking) I figure it's better to find out before the banhammer strikes normal players... I'm considering making a thread on official forums as well to see if a dev will actually reply and give some more definitive data on this (assuming no one else has yet.))

I just noticed that War Relic+2 feet give a bonus 10 seconds to Berserk if worn while activated. Has anyone tested (or know) if Drk Relic+2 feet do the same for Last Resort?

I thought the berserk bonus was just less of a defense penalty while worn. Did this change?

Either way, according to wiki the war bonus is on those boots, but nothing is stated for drk (BG wiki). Take that for what it's worth I guess >_<.

Byrth tested that the very next thing after discovering the bonus on war relic. Sadly, there's no duration+ on DRK feet.

Aw, that's too bad.

i assume 30m is a very unreasonable price for wrathwing nails?

High end of price range, but unreasonable? Not really, depends on how much you want them I'd say.

Is there anyway to have autoexec register an job change that is anything BUT a job? I was thinking it may have != capacity but I'm not sure how to format it if it does...

Example:


I just need to figure out an easier way rather than list every single job in here as there are AE events I don't want happening on other jobs.

I'm not aware of any "not" rules for AutoExec, so you'll have to do it the long way.

Can anyone tell me the name of that hat that is level 1 that gives rr and regen and ref.

Every thing if you get the right what ever that is called.When the monster locks up for a few secs.that makes the drop right a lot better on every thing from each monster you do that on.

Which is better for my flash/repose set, Cleric's Mitts +2 or Repartie Gloves? Eh, also what about non mind-based enfeebles.

Destrier Beret

My next question if a user deletes the character the item is on can the user make a new character on a new server and get the hat again.

you sure have you or anyone you know tested it.

Soooo.
Corustanci for THF, better mainhand than Aluh?
I happened to get one for my mule, and yeah.. :p(before Fajin too, beat that!)

what should i merit for drk?
