Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

hmmmm....

so what are we talking to get a shadowed ruthven? 5-10 pops? that would be fairly reasonable. or are we talking 10-20? or is it just pure luck, random # generator, ect. ???

I have no proof of this but it seems like one of the 4 or 6 zones the t3 pops in should have the shadowed one I've never had to pop more than ~6 of any of them to get a shadowed one, done lots and lots of krabs/antlion/dawon/ruthvens

ok, well I'll just keep at it then.

tyvm, I was getting a little discouraged.

Trying to log in to LS Community and I can't figure out if "Playonline ID" is the alphanumeric code for my account, my character's name, my accounts name, or the name I type when I'm logging in to PO. It keeps locking me out after 3 attempts, can someone tell me which it is?

Playonline ID is the one that has 4 letters and then 4 numbers like this: YFDV1234

And the password is your actual pol password, not your SE account password.

Edit: what they said.

I've tried it multiple times with the alphanumeric code and the password I use to log in the PO, and it still says "invalid playonline ID or password"...

When I log in via POL, I don't use my pol password since it is saved. I use my SE ID and my SE ID password plus my onetime code. Perhaps that's the issue?

1/1 \o/

Droprate from shadowed VNM isn't horrendous, but the combination of needing shadow + lowish droprate means it can take a while to get.

BLU + healer is an easy duo, for what it's worth. I'm 99% sure I could solo it but never cared enough to get around to trying. Properly timed spike damage is the key to reducing kill time, as it has varying amounts of PDT and MDT depending on 1) whether wings are up or down and 2) whether it is currently meleeing, casting, or TPing.

nice on the 1/1

I'm sitting at 0/3 with 50 mins left at work.

I'll keep trying tonight, I really want to get this for myself, & my friend.

(he's moving atm, so I've been dualboxing his machine. It would be great if I could get him this ring as a house warming present, he's been bummed with minimal playtime)

anyone know why everyone is selling seal of genbu for so much gil? 1000000+

Prior to all of this sch enhancing insanity, I was using sky as a method of money to work on my relic. It's rather difficult to casually go after zip now...

I was doin the same thing... it sucks

I just walked all over the thing and didn't see any, unless they're on the odd part of map 1.

thanks, great mspaint doodle too

Since this is random question thread i figured I'd ask something thats been buggin me for a while

Im a heavy gear changing person, i have gear sets for all the jobs I have and as such, I'm limited on space, but I feel as if I have enough space to gear/lvl 1 more job.

My pld is 75, since abyssea came out and what nots, i stopped playing it cause "omgmnkcantankthat?!" and pretty much i felt pld became obsolete, but not that material outside of abyssea is here, i feel its probably needed more these days.

Ive been wanting to lvl a mage job, and i really like sch. Since the healing magic skill change, and cure pot+ gear, i seen some sch cure for pretty nice amounts, making it MP efficient in healing since Cure IV costs less than V and IV, and they are great at regen. So i feel sch if geared right can be a great main healer. Plus i been seeing ppl want sch for the new nyzul stuff.

So question, which is more useful with todays content? I like both jobs, and with pld i'd start working on ochain (have 90 almace from blu), so that would be nice. Which is more needed in todays ffxi? I wanna feel needed lol ._.

SCH

Not yet. It was mentioned in the roadmap though. I think it was scheduled for July or around then.

bumping this question :o

Should be just shy of capping.

Magic haste caps at ~444/1024

150 (Haste) + 64 (Advancing) + 64(March+4) + 96 (Victory) + 64 (March+4) = 438/1024

ah right! I was going off the %s and not the xx/1024 values derp, thanks
