I've been trying to find the Fire elementals that wiki says are located in Ve'Lugannon Palace and The Shrine of Ru'Avitau. I have looked everywhere or at least I think I have covered every inch. Are they not inside and only outside or have I missed a spot? If anyone knows thanks.

Wow... ok thanks

Is it possible to get a chest floor on the farming path in Omen? Or only on NM path?

I recall them stating that the card path doesn't get the chest floor but I'd have to look it up to be sure.

Anyone know if it's possible to play ff11 with Windows 10? I can't seem to download Directplay anywhere, and that's needed to play it

start menu > programs/features > windows features on/off > check legacy components, expand the category, check directplay

At least on Asura, prices have been spiked well before crafting shields.

I'm trying to make my PC run faster, don't really care about graphics. Anyone have any recommendations on what settings I should use? Also, is there any way to change the dats of mobs if it could improve speed?

Even though I've spammed VWs Qilin so many times I cannot find the third pop spot. I suck at maps but if anyone can show me where it's located would wonderful.

Drakenv iirc its genbu entrance then use first warp. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

Yup, that's correct. Take I-6 entrance in sky behind them stairs. Once inside just hug the left walls within the tunnels, pass the Thunder Ele's, go upstairs and take the Warp, you'll land right on the Rift

Haven't played in forever, are modded maps and icons still being updated? If so where? Thanks!

is there any use for crystal petrifacts other then ki for provenence? Someone mentioned a gobbie taking them in reisenjima for access to items or something along those lines. Cant find anything about it tho.

It's this sucker

I think it takes 99 for the first unlock and 198 for the second? The items you can trade for are a TAD expensive though, lol.

not sure how i missed that whole thing...
He rly sells things for thousands of merit points each? If so then im assuming its not all at once at least.

You dump your merits to him as you get them. When you cap, he'll take all 75 and convert them to Potepourri (sp). He keeps a track of how many pot's you have. I would always dump my merits and upset friends who wanted me to be their Idris GEO for Merit BC's lol. I was up to 3k before I took my break.

So what is everyone personal opinion on Red and Blue cell usage when it comes to trying to farm pouch's? Do you like to use them, or do you think they hurt pouch drop rate somehow. All RNG?

I have 500 Bis clocked (so far) and blue really increases Sealord Skin and red gives more NPC-able stuff. As for HMP/Cinder/Dross, cells don't seem to matter. However, you should be getting more cruor than the cost of the cells, so I would use them. The overall rates match FFXIDB almost exactly and it has 10k recorded.

Weapons/armor, NM specific crafting mats (sealord skin, pil's tuille, etc.), emp upgrade items (plates, pouches and dross/cinder) and spell scrolls are all the same drop slot and effected by ruby.

All other random junk (logs, food ingredients, ores/ingots, etc) are blue.

Anyone having trouble with Monisette not taking an upgrade?

I'm trying to 109 my BRD slippers but the NPC just keeps storing my chapters every time I trade. Wondering if it got broke in the last update?

I double checked that I had the items listed on BG Wiki and what not, and zoning, retalking to the magian moogle and relogging all did not work.

Thanks!

Artifact Emp or relic brd feet?

I'm not getting the question, what are you asking exactely about those 3 feet pieces for BRD?

Im responding to poster above me.

If it's empyrean feet, make sure the feet are +1 or +2.

Have you unlocked the ability to upgrade them? To upgrade Empyrean armor, you have to have defeated the Vagary boss that the upgrade item drops from.

A friend of mine was playing around with her cure sets and noticed something odd that we didn't have an answer for so wanted to ask here...

Her cure 2's were giving different amounts despite being in the same zone and locking all of her gear. She finally figured out the difference was Light Arts. For some reason, she was getting less power on cure 2 with Light Arts up... 264 with it on and 294 without it. Eventually, she pin pointed the issue to Light Arts blocking weather/day bonuses. With it being lightsday or having aurorastorm up, she'd get 294 without Light Arts on, but same day/buffs she'd get 264 with Light Arts on. On Firesday without weather on, she would get the same amount of hp back regardless of whether Light Arts was on or off.

Anyone have any idea why Light Arts is blocking day/weather bonuses? If it helps this was on whm main so it was /sch not sch main.

Possibly a silly question, but she was using an obi to force the bonus to proc, correct?
