Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

by all under the same category, I meant 1 for all 10 lair, 2 for all 14 colo., 3 for all 6 wkr, not from RoE itself and wow thats a lot of CP bonus, thanks for confirming.

I use the SE software token app to login to POL and my SE Account. If I were to get a new iPhone, what's the best way to prevent myself from locking myself out of the game? Should I disable the login token and try to get a new one on the new device, or is there a simple way to transfer it?

is it possible to push bst pet level beyond 119?

how many years has passed in the game? (game time)

Crystal War ended in 864 and the original story starts 20 years later. We are in year 1221 now (you can check from menu > current time) so 337 years have passed.

Heya,

I was just wondering if anyone had tested the set augment for empy reforged 109 and 119 to see if the set bonus was equal to or better than the 99 sets?

Is there a current skillchain calculator that includes meritable & WoE WSs?

So Bahamut is the best choice to jump to right now? Why doesn't someone make a movement to have everyone join 1 server? Do it!

So, how many sets of skirmish are SANE people making. Not morons, not try-hards, just regular people are the only answer I'm looking for, no offense.

Are the ones with brains really making like 45 taeon pieces?:
Tp solo
Tp w/ party
Tp high acc
WS
MAB
Snapshot
STR/Dex set
WSD set

Or are you just going with like: maybe 2 sets. Cause I could see value in making a shitload of sets... but yeah.

Depends on what jobs you're playing, but a minimalist setup would be to just make a single set for both TP and WS (using each piece when it's superior to whatever else you have). I personally would aim for all 5 pieces with Acc/Attack +20, TA+2, and all but feet with STR/DEX+7, feet having WSD+3. I really only play THF and RUN though.

Examining each purpose you mention, you get:
TP solo: Really just for the Dual Wield, which means you don't have Trusts, which means you're probably farming Dynamis or Salvage. Up to you if you intend to spend money/inventory on farming gear.
TP with Party, TP high acc: Fairly ideal unless some of the newer pieces replace it. Hard to beat +20 accuracy and attack before even adding other bonuses in from leaf and dusk.
MAB: For Taeon, you can get +20 as an augment, but some pieces can be replaced with things like Shneddick Pants +1 and Highwing Helm. The hands could be augmented and get a total of +27 MAB which is pretty massive though.
Snapshot: I've been out of the RNG game for a long time so I can't answer this one as well, but I recall Snapshot appearing on a lot of gear, including some new pieces.
WS, STR/DEX, WSD set: Basically the same thing, right? These sets have fairly low base stats, especially when compared to AF/relic/empyrean, so even a stat like WSD can be trumped by +STR or something. WSD only helps certain WSs where STR/DEX covers a very wide spread, and would keep the augment useful for meleeing in too. You'd have to check some spreadsheets and calculators to determine which is better by WS.

Most people on Quetz are jumping to Asura.

Also, when does FFXIAH usually update their items? I'd kill to be able to find cheap Etched Memories.

Is there anyway to pull server population data other then having someone do /seeall

The update seems a manual process just Scragg have been doing these past 2 years i think. So depend mostly on his schedule to update new items.

He seems absent for some time (considering ffxiah feeds werent fixed for 3 months already). Still it seems a fast process, once Scragg notice new updated items are available, hopefully he can update ffxiah data.

I know you can summon trusts into Yorcia alluvion but...how reasonable is it to try and solo, even with low level KI? Really I don't expect to do any great farming, just enough to get/buy the gear.

Maybe a silly question, but I've been playing alone for months, I have no idea what I'm up against.

I see, this makes me a bit more optimistic.

Yeah, you don't need trusts (and honestly, I wouldn't summon them. The mobs run right for them, when normally they'd leave you alone.)

Anyone know if you can rewatch the cutscenes for afouling missions?

Same as all cutscenes: yes. NPC for it varies zonewise (it's a long list).

Sigh, how do you use the in game equipsets?

/equipset "Set001" ?
/equipset Set001 ?
/equipset 001 ?

/equipset 1


Yes. You have to trade something (gil works too, won't be lost) to the "goblin footprint" in the area where the CS you want to watch appears. They are located near one of the zone lines in a given area, e.g. one for the Ceizak is right outside the gates.

I can't buy the Avatar Phantom Gem. No idea why. I have Fenrir as a summon, so it's not like I haven't killed them all. I have a stock of every whisper, too. Any ideas?

Have to have officially completed all 6 Trial by [Element] quests, as in having talked to the NPC, gotten title, finished in quest log.

The latter. Looks like some are still in my current quest log.

where do i start the RUN empyrean armor quests? I couldn't find any info on either wiki.

second thread in the Rune Fencer subsection. Hope it helps.
