Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Heyo fellow crafters, here are some questions about crafting since it's been forever since i crafted and wanna come back at it:

- Can orvail ring be sent to a mule in the same account? and the crafting torques?

I wanna make a mule within my account and would like to know if these 2 items can be sent across accounts like rare/ex items, it would be a godsend if its able.

- What's the maximum crafting level that can be achieved right now in the game?

Im 110 cloth with the 2 items of +1 and the torque, also have the stall and starting the shield but nothing on the shield yet, the way i see it its 110 + 2 (gp items) +2 from torque +5 from stall +2 from the shield stage 3 and +3 from adv. support = 124 max right? or getting the other +1 items like gilt tapestry, wheel and sign will add another +3 for a total of 127? im a bit lost on this last part, we used to combine 2 of these last items for the moghancement but since we can get megamogli for +5 with the stall, are these items relevant anymore?

Well that's it, hope anyone can clarify this.

It looks like WSD would be best from the properties of the WS. I'm not DRK though so I would ask fellow DRKs!

It depends on how much TP you have, similar to Upheaval.

At 2000-3000?

Yeah, I would probably start using WSD at about 2k and multi-attack before then.

Yeah there is no way they'd let you send mission rings otherwise everyone would get them all lol.

Yes on torques

110 from regular skill, 2 from torque, 2 from gp items, 3 from HQ support, 5 from megamoglification. Then 2 or 3 from shield for estruchreon stages or if you got lucky and won the bonaza. Also cooking can get more with the nin only knife. You can only have 1 moghancement at a time

if i set my pet to "enjoying the momment" will i still be able to get its memento, even tho it wont evolve.

Yes you can still get the memento.

Is there a way to change the dates on the auction house sales history page to be month/day/year instead of day/month/year?

sch

SCH starts becoming "interesting" for invites at a point that requires much less gear than BLM.

Basically as soon as you have 550JP gift and basic stuff, you're already at the minimum required to join a Mageburn setup pt (do people still use mageburn these days for NMs?).

At that point you'd be only a SC machine with very little utility, but it would be just a start, from that point onward you could build solid Helix/Nuking sets, healing sets, enha duration sets and start becoming a much more useful job as a nuker, SCopener, healer and buffer.


A "perfect" SCH probably requires more gear than a BLM, but BLM requires much more gear to begin becoming interesting enough for other people to invite you.

It used to be harder getting BLM up to an average level, since it required decent Merlinic augs as a baseline. These days, you can just grab the NQ Ea set from AH and be able to perform better than average.

SCH not only requires a lot more gear (it's basically like gearing WHM, RDM and BLM together), it's also a much more demanding job skill-wise.

Soloing things on SCH is just about making SC and MB'ing. Most efficient way is to call Iroha II and open Fusion/Fragmentation/Reverberation for her. I only resort to Helix II cheese on something like Golden Kist. Otherwise, you can tier 5/4 things down pretty easily. Of course, if to NM is resistant to all magic, then you shouldn't solo it on SCH.

Not sure where the most proper place would be to post this information, but I noticed that a "bug" that has been in the game for a while is still there.

Once you picked an augment path at Nolan, if you trade an item and an excess amount of Exchalixir, the amount in excess will be wasted and lost.

Probably not a bug, it's to account for people who use the +1 and +0 versions, but still, hope everybody is aware about it!
Not that Eschalixirs are expensive anymore, bust still!

Yeah, not a bug. It's always been that way, far as I remember.

Does anybody remember if the bonus from Ionis apply to pet as well or not?

Pretty sure the answer is no.

Double-checked with /checkparam on PUP (standing outside with no Ionis versus grabbing Ionis and checking again). Master got more Acc/Atk/Eva/Def with Ionis, automaton stayed the same. So unless there's something wrong with /checkparam...

Also, I know why you're asking this ;)

What's the best way to get Windower to auto load an addon that isn't official?

add it to the init.txt file

Ah crap yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that.

So early RoV missions (1-2/3) automatically choose a path for you when you zone into either of the 2 zones. I did so on some mules that I didn't plan on taking up but now I want to. Actually farming all that for multiple mules is balls. Problem is the ah currently only selling stuff for path those mules aren't on. So is there a way to switch paths?

I have an issue where I would cast lot on an item in pool and it would pass seconds later. Any idea what addon this is or how I could fix it?

lottery most likely

Is there a maintenance for 12 hrs or am I just seeing things?

Did anyone just get disconnected and now you can't get on? I keep getting told to check my internet but resetted modem and restarted computer same error.

same here, getting network is busy screen

There is a long maintenance. They posted on official news but not much else mentioned. They're upgrading hardware for server stuff. website, forums, support, and game servers are all down for most of the day. In the meantime, they posted that they would provide updates via Twitter.




*The start time was 5:30 AM for the FFXI servers, 7:00 for everything else

Maybe this will address the horrible lag we've been experiencing the last couple months! (Wishful thinking maybe...)

Does anyone have an improved method for encountering pirates on the Selbina/Mhaura ship? Like.. if they haven't spawned after 4 minutes, they won't, so warp to the other port town and catch the next ship?
