Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

I don't really know where else to ask this.

I just got my Ukon to 90 last night after many frustrating hours. I'm at the point now where I should be buying Heavy Metal Plates. My problem is, with the same amount of money I could probably 99 a relic (Amano or Annihilator are the only ones I'm interested in, Ragnarok looks boring to me).

So, what would you do in my situation? Eventually I could 99 the Ukon and get a relic, I'm asking which I should do first. I am aware that Masa > Amano, but I don't feel like doing another Emp. Does anyone know where I might find parses or data detailing the performance of Annihilator?

I'm more of a casual player that just does Voidwatch sometimes and whatever else my friends and I feel like doing. I don't have any plans for Legion, outside of pickups if I feel like it.

If you don't plan to do any higher end content ever, I'd keep the Ukon at 90 and work on whatever you want to make next.

Why is a copy of XI for xbox so pricey? Even used is a bit up there. Did they just not make enough or something?

What is the best job to solo Briarius and Sobek on? I have 99 dnc/nin/blu/pup (That can reasonably solo. I have other jobs, but I think those are the "top" choices).

Any of those could solo both NMs with Sobek obviously being the riskiest. I'd go DNC/THF for Bria and shout for Sobek cause I hate losing pops ._.

dnc/thf prob. Stun everything.

Can I just fan tank him or should I just stun errthang? Can the 1111 merc strike be mitigated through fan dance at all?

It's magic so no. Just stun everything.

Oh ok, I honestly wasn't sure if it was some odd physical or not. K. Guess I'll give this a go since I have a Briar set just sittin in my KI's :D. Thx y'all.

He'll build resistance so just be prepared to run when Colossal Slam is coming.

Hell yeah! I totally just rocked that ***. I stayed in wuss mode and leaned on fan dance, but I totally did it, first attempt and got 2 helms. I'm fairly happy about that :D

When I solo`d Bria on DNC I tended to hold back on ws`s until he tried a TP move then I`d stun and solo a quick darkness, keeping haste samba up. He`s pretty easy on DNC and by far the most fun job out of the one`s I`ve done him on.

Nin is the easier route because of shadows but I think DNC can kill him faster.

euxine coat +3 or ninja chainmail +1 until I get another clear for Thaumas coat. Or is Euxine coat +3 good for any of the jobs cause I just use AF3 for jobs like DNC, PUP, THF and was hoping to make a melee set with thaumas for COR.

I was walking around Grauberg uphill earlier and fml getting stuck everywhere. And it's just one of the many examples of where our characters can't walk. So my question is: can't they do nothing about this? Is it a system limitation or just a very derp design?

It is expensive because they haven't printed it in a couple of years and there is no secondary market for a used copy. Since the keys can't be used, most people when they are done with the game just hold on to the disks in case they come back or throw them away.

Do we actually know how much accuracy these Gorgets give? I haven't been able to find any info anywhere and I'm starting to think we don't actually know.

Another Einherjar question. Is it confirmed that you can still get rewards from completing a chamber with less than 6 members if you can clear it in under 10 mins? Or would it bug out somehow? Specifically asking about Odin's Chamber.

They are also reputed to give +10 Accuracy to all hits of the Weapon Skill, though the evidence for this exact number is fairly weak.

3boxed it in 9 min, got drops

I can't seem to find my Jeunoan Flag for some reason, is it possible to reobtain this item in any way?

Congratulations!!

Other than getting it on a mule and sending it to yourself, I don't think it's repeatable.

Is orchestrion still synergizable even though the event is over? I imagine so, but wanted confirmation.

And if so, would it be possible to take this recipe up to 80 Synergy?

Orchestrion recipe is Amateur rank, and Amateur only goes up to 10.

Whutz dis



5% what?

Looks like Libra.

SCH used Libra, that's his enmity percentage towards you.

Someone used Libra by the looks of it!

Edit: So I was totally slow there!

Thanks guys but even one answer was enough!

Didn't know that's how Libra appeared.
