Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

I don't but let me know when u find one dray

From my limited experience it is some combination of Delve, VW and aby. Farm exp to earn silt to use for pops, buffs, and warps. Some gear is upgradable and use eschalixirs. Gear comes from NMs. Need to beat all T1 NMS to pop a T2. Beat all T2 to unlock T3. BG has a good rewards page. More paths for gear than delve as well. Unity has some great stuff and some junk so build some accolades and check BG page for what interests you.

Edit: gotta stop doing this on my phone, auto correct is killing me.

Well to answer my question, seems the mimic one where you guess the chest number is the best for points. That one is tedious and takes forever so I just spammed Assistant #4 in Batallia and it takes 2m to complete gathering all the mobs to AOE down. 4.3k per round (w/6) and its nice and quick.

Noticed I still use Manibozho Brais in some parts of my LUAs for some of my jobs.
I use it with the following three purposes

1. DEX based WS normal set (Rudra, Evisceration, Blade: Shun)
   

2. Some non-DEX based WS, but in acc set
   

3. TP acc set in a couple of jobs
   

Can anybody think of a single item I could use to replace Manibozho in all of these roles?

Taeon with max augments would be about the same and potentially better depending on the purpose.

I thought about Taeon, but to make a Taeon Tights piece suitable for all those situations I would have to go with:

Snow: Acc/Att +20
Leaf: TA+2
Dusk: DEX+10

Basically highest possible augs in those categories. Which is not really something very cheap/easy to do, except the leaf slot. Could take you over 60 mils and still not reach the amounts you want. Not what I'd call a particularly inspiring perspective for a piece that, even with such augs, would barely grant an increase over the current one.

That "perfect" Taeon would grant me over Manibozho:

• +16 Accuracy
  

• -8 Attack
  

• -2 DEX
  

• +4 STR
  

• +4 TA
  

So judging at the three roles I listed before.
It would be greatly better for role number 3, likely better for role number 2, not so sure on role number 1 (which is the main one). Probably slightly better? (less DEX, less Att, more TA)
I dunno, the randomness of Augments kinda demotivates me from even trying (already have Taeon Tights on mule of course).
But maybe that's just my bias because of bad experiences with past Random augmentation systems (spent like ~70 mils in stones, and I can't claim I have obtained anything particularly noteworthy, a couple of pieces maybe but no more)

I can't think of any situation off the top of my head where 16 acc, 4 str and 4 TA wouldn't beat 2 dex and 8? att.

Did they change something so that triple attack no longer affects weapon skills? You're still gonna need the accuracy piece 90% of the time when you aren't acc capped anyways.

Are the capacity points from RoE's content tab permanent? If so how much of a bonus?

I just spam the one where you need to reach Point #3 without getting KO'd. Go either DNC or /THF and use chocobo jig or flee to speed through the zone without getting hit at all.

In regards to "single-hit" WSs like Rudra's Storm, multihit doesn't increase damage by a great deal. (Namely this is due to ƒTP being a forced 1.0 for each hit after the first.)
As opposed to almost all multihit WSs (nowadays it's a shorter list to say which multihit WS does NOT transfer ƒTP) where multi attack procs greatly increase WS damage.

If you mean from the completion of the reive objectives, then yes. They are a permanent increase.
1% for colonization, 2% for lair, and 3% for WKRs. (I may have mixed up the colonization and lair, but I believe that's their values. It's listed on the objective.)

I used Sauromugue Researcher #4, might take longer than 2m but it's another fast one and you get 4.8k with 6 characters. Kill 2 Maroliths and then cleave the meebles

I have a slight confusion with Skirmish and Alluvion Skirmish augments.

From reading BGWiki, it seems to suggest that each tier of stone, NQ, +1 and +2 offer higher lower and upper limits for each augment, so you not only atand to gain better augments potentially but get a much higher value range to pick from.

Whereas it suggests in Alluvion Skirmish that the upper limit on each tiered stone is the same but it follows a similar pattern with the increasing lower limits.

Is that the case? How exactly do augments work in both types of Skirmish.

Hagondes seems to favor pet augments more than anything else, at least for me all I see on my Hagondes legs +1 is pet augments.

But then again I've never been a fan of the RNG bs anyway.

Normal Skirmish augments cap lower with lower tier stones, and you're not even guaranteed to get anything other than PDT unless you use a +2 stone. Additionally, possible augments are based on the type of equipment, and level (i119'ed items can get two augments).


Alluvion augments will always give you something, almost always based on the stone that you trade for that augment slot - there's a low chance that you can get something outside of what the stone is supposed to give.

You can get max augments from any tier stone, but far as I've seen, it's like you said. Higher tier stones have increased lower limits, skewing them towards max augments, where NQ are a complete crapshoot.

Don't think any augment is favoured on any piece. It's just random, period.
Also small samples always feed up personal bias.


If the current day/time data are part of the randomization formula, then there might be instances where trying to augments several times in a row might give more relevance to certain augments, but I'm highly skeptic of that because it would be quite an elementary, naive, simplified and stupid way of hanlding randomization and after 13 years of game's life it would've been sorted out already and exploited several times.

So no, I doubt there's any augment favoured on any piece. Random is random!

I must just be very unlucky with augments then because since I upgraded my hagondes legs I've yet to see anything other than pet augments, and even though everyone says MaB/M.acc augments on Helios is "common" I've personally never seen it, and I'm not talking about one or two stones dropped on them.

I feel like I probably made a mistake, I told myself, I'll get a good augment again and upgraded my Hagondes Pants with a 20 MAB augment to +1 so bye bye 20 MAB!

I picked up a new pair of legs and +1'd those because I knew it wasn't going to be easy getting a useful augment on them. At least this way I can make use of my NQ legs with MaB+20% rather than the +1 that only ever get pet augments lol

Trust mne they become suddenly very rare when you're actually LOOKING for them :'D

Rhapsodies chatper 2, mission 15

You must check a cavernous maw to get a cutscene.

I don't get the cutscene eventhough I finished the wotg story line years ago.

Is anybody having the same issue ?

I made a help desk call. Let's see what happens.

pol code 5434 wtf is this

From what little digging I did, it seems like it might be for a failed subscription payment.

hmmm none of my characters are even due to pay up

yeah, it's not an even spread like that. I pumped well over 500 +1's into my HQ hagondes legs and only got 1 augment ever that wasn't pet.
