Random Question thread (FFXI related)
By eciurb 2013-09-18 11:30:38
Two questions. Does certain items in Apollyon or Temenos drop more often in certain zones then others? I'm currently after Monk Af body+1 pieces and been spamming Apollyon NE since I can fly through that on monk easily. About 10 runs and haven't seen ignot yet but see a lot of common drops there often but some random ones here and there which leads me to believe certain zones drop certain items more often. I try'd looking this up but can't find anything any where besides that the items drop in Apollyon or Temenos.
Other question is, if a mob charms you, does it lose its TH level? Started doing Valkum Boss when DC mob camps are taken. When it does happen to charm me, I've just been switching back to TH set real quick to reapply and back to DD set on THF. I haven't proc'd TH+ on yet it, so can't tell. Obviously a simple fix but just curious is all.

Obviously a simple fix but just curious is all.
AF+1 items: Yes. Not only certain areas, but certain floors drop certain parts more often. Each zone is a bit different in its dynamic, but old wiki has some relatively accurate information on the drop rate of each piece for each floor in each zone.
NE apollyon has this as estimated drop rates for ancient brass:
F1 1.8%
F2 5%
F3 3%
F4 2.3%
F5 ?(probably can't drop)
Most likely it's 5% on each floor but user reported drops can only be so accurate and FFXIDB doesn't collect limbus chest drop data.
SE Apollyon has only once chance to drop, on floor 3 but lists an estimated 59.2% drop rate. You might try that one.
For TH:
I think when you die or loose hate TH is not active until you act on the mob again. If the mob goes white and passive, TH values are completely lost but if it's still claimed, then acting on it and putting yourself back on the hate list will restore the original TH level.
But, I've heard several theories on how it works and it's slightly difficult to test but anytime our thf dies we try to get them back up and tag it prior to killing the mob just in case.

Member Name: Anything you want
POL ID: ABCD1234 format
SE ID: Something unique you've created. Mine could be valeforomnys, though it isn't.
Also, unrelated probably but (a few years ago) after reactivating an xbox-based account to play on PC, I had trouble logging in. I could login to the website, but I couldn't login to POL Viewer. They said that it was a known bug that....something something somehow...corrupts the encryption of passwords sometimes and that all you needed to do was to change your password online, and then change it back if you like.
lol se
how do I find out what unique SE ID I created?

[
Taking your screenshot as an example, the password that you save (i.e. abc123!@# on your pic) should be your POL password, which is NOT your square enix password unless you happen to set it to the same. You can reset that password in your SE account management page:
-> [Services and option] Select Service
-> ffxi
-> [Active account (which shows your POL ID that you should enter as on that screen)] option List
-> [Playonline ID option] Update Playonline password
Your Square enix ID and your square enix password is what you'd use to log into that management page
How do I find/change my POL password since it may be different than my SE password?

Can't get Spellcast to equip Cizin Greaves on my leg slot. Is this because they are misnamed in-game? Any way to get it working?

Are you also trying to equip Cizin greaves feet?
Try putting feet at the top of your set and legs at the bottom
<feet>Cizin Greaves</feet>
<head>...</head>
<body>...
...</rear>
<legs>Cizin Greaves</legs>

I can't say that this will work, but it's worth a shot
Find your resources xml folder, mine is at
C:\Users\Customer\Downloads\Windower4\plugins\resources
Duplicate/backup items_armor.xml.
Open the file and search for the text Cizin-Reithose, replace that whole line with one of the following three. Any might work, only one might, none might.
I bolded how each line is different from the original, for clarity.
<i id="28192" enl="Cizin breeches" fr="Grègues de cizin" frl="paire de grègues de cizin" de="Cizin-Reithose" del="Cizin-Reithose" jp="キィジンブリーチズ" jpl="" jobs="00004182" races="01FE" level="99" targets="None" casttime="0" recast="0">Cizin Greaves</i>
<i id="28192" enl="Cizin greaves" fr="Grègues de cizin" frl="paire de grègues de cizin" de="Cizin-Reithose" del="Cizin-Reithose" jp="キィジンブリーチズ" jpl="" jobs="00004182" races="01FE" level="99" targets="None" casttime="0" recast="0">Cizin breeches</i>
<i id="28192" enl="Cizin breeches" fr="Grègues de cizin" frl="paire de grègues de cizin" de="Cizin-Reithose" del="Cizin-Reithose" jp="キィジンブリーチズ" jpl="" jobs="00004182" races="01FE" level="99" targets="None" casttime="0" recast="0">Cizin breeches</i>
Try referencing Cizin breeches in your equipment swap.
//reload spellcast, try a swap.
If that doesn't work, restore the backup and grumble at SE.

I know that items that aren't in the resources will crash you if you try to use them but is that because the Item ID is missing or is it a name match? If it only is based on the Item ID then that should work I would think.

Atheling Mantle (ATK+20 Double Attack+3%) V.s. Vespid Mantle (ATK+35 WS-ACC+10) For WS in General and for Multi-hit WS Which and why ?
By Alpheus 2013-09-20 05:31:51
Quote: New areas and Seekers of Adoulin missions scheduled to be added with the November update mean that pioneers will be able to unearth even more of the Ulbukan continent's secrets. Moreover, antsy pugilists will likely be able to indulge in all the carnage they desire with the following additions: new content for individuals as well as small groups; more gruesome versions of existing battlefields; the ability for monipulators and adventurers to square off against each other in Monstrosity; NPCs able to participate in colonization and lair reives; and enhancements to artifact, relic, mythic, and empyrean equipment.
So uhh.... RME update confirmed?

There are job-specific spreadsheets to help you find the conclusion to such questions, Kuroganashi but--
at this point, I can't imagine accuracy's an issue. I checked your profile and you have Delve MB weapons, so there's probably not many cases where you're fighting something and not accuracy-capped.
So, at this time, you're basically competing 3% DA for 15 attack, I think that the Ath mantle wins.

Skirmish2 gear actually took a sizeable chunk of accuracy out of folks' gear so we're riding the line a lot closer than previously. I had to make adjustments for WAR since I wasn't capping acc by about 7% while Aggressor was down, using 2/5 Cizin (pre-NMs, no madrigals). That being said, all I did was switch Atheling to Letalis.

thanks finally a reply after such a long time, not worried about ACC tbh , just debating :
DA+3% V.s. (Extra)+15 ATK
I been confused due to somebody telling me that ATK+35 will carry to each hit of a multi hit WS
but I do know DA also got a chance to proc on each hit
just unsure which to get on for WS
Ty bro
Atheling > Vespid
on that context what is Vespid mantle good for ?

increase your frequency is the only advice I can give. Lair reives respawn 4x faster than coloinization and they die many times faster. I spammed those for capes.
BG wiki says doesn't drop mantles tho but if you saying they do, i shall try, ty ^^ I been doing this for several hours and no drop :(
Need GEO SAM PUP THF Mantles at least So I be 100% on those for a bit.
P.s. If u want to team up one night and do it plz let me know Josi

Make sure that you get at least 3 evaluations before you complete the reive. The biggest problem with farming lair reaves for drops is that ppl tear the nest down too quickly. If you don't get at least 3 evaluations, you won't get any drops. Kill the mobs until you get your evals, THEN take down the nest.
