Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Talking about Asura pugs here. A few times I got invited to Ngai V25 on BRD and asked about having Xoanon. I said I'm sure Mpaca is fine and there was grumbling. Didn't think I was missing anything...

Morons gonna moron. Never not going to be the case.

They only know how to parrot back words they've heard before.

How does EP loss actually work with death? I just died and went from 1.6m to 1.24m, something like 350k lost but then only lost about 25k when I Arised my char. 350k is brutal, I thought it was 10% of til next level? This was something like 20% of total EP for the level.

How do you know how much EP you lost before you raised? It's not possible to go into the menu to see that while dead.

Presuming it's some addon, maybe it was wrong?

What are these numbers, the amount TNL or the amount you had?

It's supposed to be 2%, not 10%. I've never validated/verified this myself, but I'd imagine it probably it is. It should be 2% of the ep required to get the level, not of the ep YOU HAVE. If you're ML47, the TNL is 2,557,728 meaning you lose 51,154 EP when you die. No level of ML would cause you to lose 350k, unless the wiki is wrong about EP lost.

My bad, I missed a digit hahaha. 158k/1.62M not 1.58M/1.62M.

I am using EXP Watch.

Can you repurchase the Esthete's items from TVR mission 9-3 for bayld if you throw them out after you've completed that mission?

They can't go on a Storage Slip for god only knows what reason but I kinda like the coat but I don't currently have it in a lockstyle so I want to know if I can just ditch it and get it back later.

...and I don't want to risk it if you can't. So if someone doesn't care, can you toss yours and check with Runje Desaali?

e: oh and speaking of Adoulin Items You Can't Storage Slip, can you reacquire the Delegate's Garb/Councilor's Garb somehow in the same situation? I'd like to keep them if you can't ever get them back but inventory space, even in Storage, is precious.

You can definitely get Councilor's Garb back by talking to Ploh Trishbahk. She checks if you have your adoulin ring, councilor's cuffs, and councilor's garb, and gives back the first one you're missing once per game day (so if you drop all 3, you'll need 3 game days to get all 3 back). I would like to think Delegate's Garb and HQ ring work the same once unlocked, but I never unlocked them personally to verify.

can confirm you can rebuy esthete gear

Can confirm that HQ rings are rebuyable, I've swapped several times. Should probably swap again because I'm not playing RDM at the moment and I took Weatherspoon for lovely Seraph Blades. Thanks for confirming the rest! Plus five or so slots in my Storage, lmao.

Did they remove the level cap in Dynamis-D? Without really thinking about it, I entered at level 67 for the silver voucher. I had thought the level cap was 95.

Its possible the level requirement is only checked when trying to get the Empty Hourglass from Aurix the first time?

Though, from SE's patch notes when Divergence was added, theres no level requirement

Dynamis D has never had a level requirement or cap

Its on the wiki as such though, but going through the history:

Zackily noted a possible lv95 requirement with ???'s
Spicy changed it to a verification needed icon.
HGaleon removed the tag, and its been blindly assumed ever since.

Today I've removed that information from the page.

Does Extenerator do decently on COR?

it doesn't do good damage, but is useful in skillchains (less likely to miss than savage)

does WoC have any hate resets or something that would make it ignore pets? finished farming combatant torque and decided to test my overdrive set. the only actions I took were deploy > overdrive > 3 maneuvers. pet did a SC for 6% damage, then WoC abruptly made a beeline for me and kept following as pet did damage. died before I could ventriloquy because I was so surprised.

RIP the dream, getting no love for lolpup today

When casting a GEO Bubble on a large target such as Odyssey bosses, when is the target considered "in" the bubble? Does the centre of the mob have to be in the bubble or is it more like any part of the model (roughly) has to be in the bubble?
