Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

You have to have the nm's title i believe... (i.e. you need to have beaten it and also the ability to pop it)

Majority of them can be low manned nowadays with ease.

You need to be able to pop the NM corresponding to the pulse gear yourself. So like for Heka`s Kalasiris, you`d need to be able to actually pop Akvan before you can trade any cells.

-na's

You can cast -nas on anyone.

What about weather spells?

I'm pretty sure those are party only, but can check later.

Weather spells are definitely party only. I've never seen any spell that you can cast on an ally member(not in party) that you can't simply cast on any PC. Kinda odd but I guess that's just how the game works. For buffs there are 3 types. Self, party, all players.

Okay, I ask because Windower has multiple possible target flags and they don't seem to be named quite as one might expect. They seem to mean:
* Ally - Spell can be cast on any player (in alliance or not)
* Party - Spell can be cast on party members
* Self - Spell can be cast on yourself
* Enemy - Spell can be cast on monsters

* Player - Not sure. Perhaps it has something to do with Ballista when players are around but they aren't necessarily on your team.

* NPC - Not sure. At the moment I don't know of any spells that can be cast on other players but cannot be cast on NPCs. Thus it seems redundant with Ally (and appears that way in the resources).


I use the resources to determine which target to substitute in shortcuts if a target is not provided. Determining that Ally ~= Alliance and Player == meaningless was the last major hurdle for it.

Is it that the light spirit can target a curaga IV on anyone in the ally or that the aoe hits everyone?

+7 chr isn't worth it. There isn't really any food that helps brd much with it's primary function. I'd just use whatever helps your sub functions if at all. Like def/hp food for pulling.

Can anyone post a link to where I could find info on the REM upgrades they will possibly be doing?

There isnt one yet I dont think they will probably keep that up until the week before the update.

Are there any blms here that do monstrosity?

I'm quite curious in regards to the ability to cast meteor. Are you able to?
Obviously we can't use elemental seal, but that doesn't seem to ever stop nm's from using it. So i'm really wanting to know whether I should bother buying it or not.
Thanks

Haven't messed with monstrosity in a good while, but I'm almost positive someone mentioned that meteor was unavailable in monster form(was in that long-ish monstrosity thread).

Meteor as a spell alone existed long before Blm got this conditional version, which may not actually be the same spell at all(besides name).
Can't use Warp/II/Retrace/Escape/Tractor, and there are some mobs that can use warp at least(or could).

Hi.
In a fracture run, qd dark shots can dispel nms status effect reliably or cor must use some macc set?
Thanks.

you should use at least the m.acc delve earring set, and sangoma ring to reliably sleep/dispel stuff in delve, yes. obviously animikii or even omphalos will help a great deal aswell

Dynamis Relic Armor drop. Are there certain mobs either beastman or nightmare mobs, easy pray, dc that can drop Relic Armor more often then something else? Or is it all random across the board?

Xarc and Beauc and Bubu Beastman NMs drop their job's armor more often than anything else, but otherwise it is random.

Ok thanks, looking for a pair of argute loafers.

No Scholar NMs in Dynamis, so you're SOL.

Acording to ffxidb dynamis windurst have higher probability of dropping sch feet.
Also i agree with that.
Farmed 2 days in the dynamis buburimu and didnt get any. Then i went to windurst and got 2 in the same run, went again to farm it for a friend, and got in 1 run.
Its random and all depend on luck, but i would say go for dynamis windurst.

Since this wasn't mentioned yet, Nightmare mobs only drop the -1 version, so if you need the NQ, stick to beastmen.

Hi.
Someone have an aproximation of delve nms and tojil normal defense (without debuffs)?
Also if i remember right, att/def caps at 4 right?
Thanks.

I've never fought Pandemonium Warden, but I just built a pop. What should my setup look like? I'm assuming PLD to hold the lamps, WHM to heal, and 3 or 4 good DDs would be all it takes, but I don't want to get a bad surprise and waste my pop. Any advice would be appreciated.

Most recently did it as PLD MNK MNK BRD WHM.
Oat MNK's, 99harp/horn BRD, 99 Aegis PLD, Yagrush WHM.
Not implying any of those things, e.g. 4 songs, are nescessary, just giving an idea of what my group was like. Astral Flow got a little messy at times but wonx3. The defense of gear now is really helpful.

Hopefully that helps!
