Does Terror status effect have an element attached to it?
Like Stun is Lightning, Bind is Ice, etc? The wiki for Terror shows some blue magic that gives the effect and most are dark based Absolute Terror, Jettatura, Blistering Roar, except Spectral Flow Ice. I would just guess Dark based on how many of the spells are Dark?

I think Terror is believed to be associated with Earth, but I also seem to recall some tests hinting at being irrelevant towards resistance against it (or was it a thing just for Dragon's Absolute Terror?)
Any thoughts on ideal galli farming job/trust setups for dualboxing Sortie? A regular Sortie static doesn't fit my life right now, but I'd like to upgrade some more Empyrean armor and can go in by myself with my two characters at random times (usually late Pacific time when there are never any shouts on my server and most of my friends are asleep).
Main has all melee/tank/ranged jobs well geared, and an Idris GEO. Alt has all buffers (including RMEA BRD, Idris Geo, +8 COR) and backline mages (WHM BLM RDM SMN SCH). Sylvie (UC) on main, but open to changing.

SAM+BRD with trusts. Jinpu spam on AE, Kagero/Koki spam on C/G. Use 1hrs as necessary, I'll bet you could kill all 4 of them in a single run no problem.
Only possible issue is how to get the magic kills, might have to rely on Shantotto or something.
Possibly SAM+GEO is better, come to think of it

Melee + brd. Either A/E and all upstairs NMs + E/G Naakuls or A+E/C+G. SAM, MNK or WAR I guess

I think he will be low on attack and accuracy with GEO. It's easier to get att% buffs on trusts, than att+ and bolster Precision is only +200 acc, while SV honor+madrigal is 344.
It's actually easy to get magic kills with brd/sch and use dark arts, mab gear and something like Daybreak as weapon (it has so much magic damage, that even Tier II nukes will do like 6k and you can spam them after taking mob below 10% hp).

I wouldn't be surprised if Shantotto II could hit for like 15k+ MB. Acuex take +50% fire damage, so you could have the BRD do Fire Threnody on each Acuex, then liquefaction or fusion on SAM, and it would be dead for sure.

This is a cool idea too, since you get access to firestorm for C/G.

Do you guys think that PLD empyrean body mechanics being bugged with Fomors have something to do with CoP's fomor hate mechanics affecting it?
kinda doubt it and that its just a overflow/underflow sort of error, think it was tested and even the original emp body had that issue, we just never had any fomor/shade mobs with player WS to test it against, least im pretty sure the ones in dyna we're all we had and they only had regular TP moves

I can tell you from experience that it's just hard to control damage good enough to make 2xWS + skillchain that will leave mob under MB damage from Trust. It's much easier to hit 99k Kagero or Jinpu, then find 2nd WS that reliably put it very low, but can't kill it (like Enpi) and then just melee to ~5k HP left, disengage and 2xFire with brd/sch. It's simply faster and more reliable than trying to count on Trusts.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the suggestions! BRD/SCH Daybreak nuking is a clever approach, I may try that. SAM and GEO is what I tended to run back when Sortie first launched and I'd go in to dualbox it, but I like the twist of keeping BRD buffs and letting it also be the nuker.
Has anyone had good success with a lowman BLU setup? Losing SAM SP abilities would be unfortunate, but that's one of the other approaches I considered. R15 Tizona, Naegling, clubs, solid nuke set (Empy+2 that I'd like to +3!), etc.
Problem with BLU is you can't spam one WS on E and you can't do savage and Expiacion, because SB>E is Distortion. What I was doing on BLU when Triboxing was using Black Halo, while COR and BRD used Savage. The biggest advantage of going BLU is that you can stun lock Dhartok to the point that it's half dead when it can finally move. When Sudden Lunge duration starts resisting mid fight it's still enough to block 2nd TP move in a row, so sometimes you won't even see it's famous clouds even once in the fight. Casting Lunge slows DPS coming from BLU, so it might be much worse while only dual boxing with BRD.

Anybody having connection issues? Basically lagging out across multiple characters or getting 3001 error. Related to storms in the US maybe?

Yeah, came on here to check if anyone else was having the same problems. My ping to anywhere else is like 12ms.
Just curious, how many of you use HD .DAT mods and still do endgame/party content? My PC ain't exactly ***but I'm wondering if its clunkier when using all the texture packs

Is it possible to remove augments from a SU5 weapon? Like to change paths?
Nope. Once you select a path it cannot be changed

For Putraxia (elemental zone) in Vagary, do the hybrid dark elementals need to be killed other than the ones that unlock the gates near midbosses to block death?

In my experience guest logins do not save any settings.

If this is the case I would try to save settings/macros onto the server or one of the save slots from the character select screen, then load them in every login. I think this should work although slightly annoying? Unless this isn't an option from guest login as well
If you're talking about the auto timeout in POL settings, those are not saved by the save/load buttons at the login screen. Those are for in game settings only, macros etc, not POL config.
If you want to keep settings then they'll need to register as a POL account. If they are full, you can install the other region's POL and save them there.
EU/US/JP POL installations are separate directories and do not share user account details or settings.

I'm not even asking for that. I'm fine changing the setting manually every time I login from 20->Off. The problem is that the in-game setting for the Guest login sometimes changes by itself in the middle of a session and reverts to "20".
I want to know if anyone experienced this and figured out what triggers this change, so that I can be sure to restore the setting from 20 to Off whenever this is triggered.
Is it possible you forgot to change the setting?
Why not just make two copies of your login_w.bin and dont use the guest login? You dont even need to have two copies of FFXI installed that way.

If I want to just do solo + trust runs of Arebati to grind out the 5940 points for R.15 on my Mpaca's Gloves, how many runs would I be looking at (with amplifiers)?
Segment cost is not an issue and I already have R.15 upgrades unlocked, I am just curious.

Depends what V level you are charging with.
At 3xV15 + another 5% of a V15 it is 2,361RP.
At 3xV25 + another 5% of a V15 it is 6,993.
So 4 runs for a V25 charge. Nine runs at V15 charge.
See Charging RP.
