Extremely random question alert!!
Is there any flavor description as to how a Scholar's Helix spells work? Like if I cast a spell of Cryohelix, what is that doing to the enemy beyond the practical effect?
Fire immolates the enemy, Stone sends rocks flying upwards at the enemy, Flash is blinding the enemy with a bright light originating from right in front of its eyes. But is there any in-universe explanation to what a Helix spell is doing to harm the target?

Are you going afk in busy areas or in your mog house, if it's in your mog house that could be why.
It's possible your network card or whatever is going into power saving mode or something and FFXI doesn't like it.
To test, try putting a youtube video on mute in the background while you go afk to make sure it stays active.
Just an idea.

Keeping r0ing anytime I afk.. or overnight. I reset my internet twice already, any ideas why? Only happens to XI, nothing else internet related affected
happens to me sometimes, pretty sure it's just server issues and there is nothing you can do about it (might even be intentional to reduce load on asura; throw an organic looking disconnect at people who are clearly idle)
you could try running a ping to ffxi servers overnight to see if you are still able to reach ffxi servers at the time you d/ced (leave logger or something on to see when your game d/ced and compare to ping log)
Well my PC and laptop are on the same internet but with a few chars, they both R0, some of the errors msgs were 4001 others had 20 something. Seems to happen mostly when I'm afk and my chars are idle overnight, but yesterday it did it after I finished an Omen run and walked away.
I did a search on google and someone suggested going to POL before you log in, click "Network settings" and change "Connection check" from Disable(Recommended) to Enable. I did that on my PC but not my laptop, I came home from work and saw my chars on my PC were online and fine and my laptop were all disconnected with the usual 4001 msg. So apparently that works for now, not sure what that does?

Tbf i always picture the helix as some sort of disease.
Going with the animation and name, its like a DNA fragment being implanted on foe, that will slowly killing it.
Wyvernhunter Bambrox. Any idea why his last set of bombs can't be targeted by AOE?
don't know, but I do know that the only way I ever cleared that UNM was with a straight dd full buffed zerg. He will be stuck at 1% until any currently out bombs explode, but if you get him down there fast enough he will only pop the first round of bombs, which is what one or two?
Stupid nm and only did it for clear :x

I ended up dying a few times because I didn't understand why my AOE works to kill the first two set of bombs, but not the last two. I ended up equipping movement speed legs and running away, seems to be the best way to handle it.
Wasn't there a quick warp way to get to Promyvion-Vahlz somewhere instead of having to run all the way through Pso'Xja again?

Does stun land on omen bosses? Kyou, etc.
Never seen it land
Soloing T3 behemoth still the fastest way to get a pulse weapon besides getting lucky and finding 5 cells on the AH?
Main BLU or RUN, mule GEO or RDM for reference so should be decently capable of clearing most of the T3s

Pretty much. He goes down extremely fast, especially if you get a skillchain in during his TP moves or spells.
Quick Fact check
- For whm/sch is it still the commong belief that the 10% casting reduction does not break cap so we just need 78% fastcat to hit the 80% fastcat cap? or did it change back to it breaks cap ?
- For hast values is it still generally rounded down?, i remember at one point a lot of the new gear was actually rounding up now.
Specfically im looking into ambuscadem,escha gear ,new abjuration gear

If you are the only character on a monsters hate list and you own the R/E item it drops, can it still drop for your alt that does nothing at all?
I always assumed it would not drop under these circumstances, since if you die it ignores your alt in most cases. Does it depend on what you're fighting?

You'll still get the drops regardless of enmity

The pool is based on party no enmity
if alt outside the arty but on the emnity list ( from eg. cures) then the alt will not get drop from the pool
if you alt is in the party and does nothing at all and thereby not on the enmitylist. the item will go to the pool that you alt has acces to

Mob dies to an action initiated by a player or pet > person(or pet owner) who executed that action's party gets drops in pool
Mob dies to a DoT, spikes, or any other effect that isn't initiated by a player or pet > person who currently has claim's party gets drops in pool
Mob dies to a DoT, spikes, or any other effect that isn't initiated by a player or pet > drops vanish
r/ex check is applied to everyone in party/alliance, so as long as at least one doesn't have it it will drop(and consumable r/ex, the ones that show yellow in item list, will still drop if everyone has them)

I remember someone (Martel?) testing it a long time ago but I don't remember the outcome of the test.
Is the 5% parrying on capes the same as inquartata?

Anyone have the issue where they select and npc or teleporter or ??? and it doesn't bring up any prompts and just hangs and the only thing you can do is //terminate

Only with certain addons. Happens if i forget to unload and click an NPC. Zoning also fixes it.

When I got to the Helices, I wrote them down as though they surrounded the opponent in the spell (judging by their effects) and just repeatedly barraged them with their effects. Like Pyrohelix would surround the mob with fire magic that surrounded it and pelted it with heat.
I think the concept is really cool, but they really didn't add enough flavour to make it comprehensible lol

Just think of it like pokemon setting up fields. An artificial target specific micro weather phenomena.
Every turn (tic) the opponent was pelted with hail or rain or sand etc.
