Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

C and G should be good. I’ve never tried but it’s probably decent on A and E if Kagero is anything to go by.

I'm curious, but when does SE usually announce the new login point items for the upcoming update? I'm very interested to see what November will bring with the new login point changes.

im trying to find a funny picture of zerde dead, that someone posted here. I lost it somehow on my pictures.. Need that fat face image!

Can you store Ancient Blood somehow? Or is it like the Hoe and you're just cursed with -1 slot forever if you don't wanna lose it forever

I mean, it's AHable so..."lose it forever" is kinda meaningless?

oh my god I can store it... in someone else's inventory!!!!

haha yesss straight to the trash can

thank you! I genuinely did not think to check the AH

What are other gear like Bullwhip Belt that gives all negative elemental resistance stats? I wanna test something with a set that gives as much negative eles as possible. All jobs gear is preferable but it can be job specific.

If you put

≺Element: Fire≻-
(or Air water ice earth dark light etc)

In the description search, you'll get the list

For example

I learn something new everyday, thanks. PLD it is

The most possible minus is probably nin at around -230 or so

(or, you can brenner and just threnody yourself) Don't know what the test is though.

A ninja mob can stack another -30 on with their spells

It's a negative stat so i imagine it can go as low as possible, threnody, foods, toss a nin nuke in there

consensus on flametonge vs naegling on fencer war? i remember there was a gear set dps calculator but currently too lazy to find it and try to install it.

Better IF you are certain you're attack capped. But not by enough to waste the kupon on it.

Whats the procedure for Dark matter tomorrow? If I do it tomorrow before campaign kicks in will I:
Have it reset and get 12 trades
Get +6 trades
Get nothing because I used them

You should get 6 more once campaign kicks in.

Can confirm, got 6 more.

I'm sure this will come as no surprise but collecting 198 SP Gobbie Keys and turning them in did not even come close to outperforming taking 1M accolades each week instead of 6 keys lol. Admittedly they weren't all from unity so it's probably more like 20-25 weeks of keys (millions of gil) rather than 33.

Items with value - Cehuetzi Pelt, Voidhand: COR, Obsidian Crystal, Moldy Gorget, Heyoka Subligar, Turms Leggings, Herald's Gaiters

Interesting but not valuable - Argute Stole, Rabbit Stick, Nefer Kalasiris, Smilodon Mask +1 (surge walk drop), Herculean Vest

Also had a couple pieces of unity gear, even more delve gear and a ton of <99 equipment.
And an assortment of bits and bobs that might slowly sell for ~50k. Looking at it initially I thought that maybe if some of those NQ crafted items had been HQ then that would have swung the results substantially - however the HQs don't appear to have the gobbie box tag. So given that I'm not even sure how keys could be better than raw gil unless you got a jackpot AMAN item.

Back on my stupid inventory space questions: Can you reobtain the SoA mission Reive necks like Adoulin's Refuge +1 if you drop them? BG wiki seems to suggest not (since you can't ever change your choice) but I'm not sure.

I don't know of a way. Not conclusive, but for the giggles I dropped mine and talked to Ploh a few times. I would've assumed that's how you get it back if there was a way, but nada.

Ploh will insist on giving you back the lockstyle weatherspoon white gloves and movement speed coat if you drop them though.

I did actually know this!
Okay. I'll keep it then. Not that I particularly care... but it is funny to pretend I'm showing up to help a new player from Discord or whatever and die on purpose to Marine Mayhem and reraise over and over. Land of contrasts.

I know they've recently made some changes to coalitions and the KIs governing imprimatur distribution. I've got an alt that's done every coalition up to and inclusive of advisor rank (that's like, over 80 unique ones) and has both ivory wing talisman ki's and the bronze mattock, but ISN'T getting the bronze shovel.

Anyone know what's up with that? Just keep doing quests?

Did the finish order up / kill all the WKR

Yep, has all wkr KI's and order up is in adoulin/completed.

My friend is going to Japan and has offered to buy me ffxi merch. What are some ffxi stuff you can get in Japan that aren’t/haven’t ever been available in the US?

Hello,

I am restarting doing Nyzul token climb (which I hate). I cannot locate it but did SE patch the .dat replacement for the lamps? I thought 8 or so years ago, I had heard they did but want to verify from the experts on ffxiah.

Not asking for help violate ToS or anything, just if people know if that was patched and no longer works.

Thanks!

What did the dat replacement do?

Yes, it's been patched and is no longer possible.
