When you get a new piece of gear:

//org freeze inventory export

Open the export lua in an editor
Copy the item from the export lua
Open the inventory folder and paste/edit the item for any jobs necessary
If you use it, update your GS and keep it in your invenotry
If you don't use it, update your GS anyway but put in in your dump bags with ALL the rest of your gear.

Change to BLU
//org o - pulls BLU gear into inventory
Change to SMN
//org o - pulls gear to inventory
Change back to BLU
//org o - returns BLU gear to inventory
//org g locker SMN - moves your SMN gear to your locker???*



*This assumes you can condense your SMN gear to just the locker, but you could repeat with other [bag] as needed. That or condense your gear to one bag AND make that bag a dump bag so you don't have to add additional commands. Even better, load the //org o command with your job luas for ez mode and just pretend the GS integration isn't broken?


To be completely fair to whoever wrote them, a few lines of text isn't really enough to call instructions. Most people are smarter than I am and they are still not going to understand what is happening; even fewer would be able to predict what would happen unless they read and understood the code.

Anyone know what controls the Abyssea roaming Avatar NM spawns in the three Scars of Abyssea areas?

There's a note on the ffxiclopedia page for Tejas in Attohwa:

Jala in Misareaux has a more decisive note, but with no source info anywhere on the page:

And for Fulmotondro in Vunkerl they just split the difference:

Bastion would make sense, as a thing nobody does. But I've never seen any of those three nerds. They're a big source of Amber light so I'd like to use them when farming if they're around when I show up, they just never are.

Are there any shenanigans or titles with changing your home point a lot?

Yes
it changes your title to "for the streets"


Cause youre always changing home point
Get it??

Recently returned but I did manage to get on for the free bonanza kupon and I'm wondering, as someone who mostly only plays pup (mythic), drk and whm (no rmea on either) these days, are any of the weapons worth it?

Easy question and hard question:

1) Are there red or blue mimics in Abyssea? I've only ever seen gold ones. I have seen random chests of those two colors that nobody spawned, but examining them gave me the chat message that I'm claiming them for myself and then they're a normal chest. Every mimic I've seen has been gold (and with a distinct model ID from an actual gold pyxis, which is very helpful!)

2) Where in the incoming packets that a red chest sends upon initial examination are the light details stored? I don't see anything consistent in either the 0x34 or the 0x5C. Blue and gold I've got figured out (more or less - how do you tell 600 cruor from a time extension?) but red is eluding me. Help very much appreciated because I'm working on a little something something for the Glavoid Gals of the world.

Is there a way to adjust macros while not actually in game? Like a way I could export them to a file, edit them on something thats not my pc and send it back to the game in the user files? It would be nice to fix my terrible macros from my phone or a different pc

Macros are stored in a local file and a lot of people have made macro editing GUIs over the years. I think POLutils had one, but there is also this one that is more modern: https://github.com/FFXIMacroEditor/Source

Someone willing used visual basic to make something in 2014?

A key bind (@f11 which is windows key + f11) stopped working. If I change it to alt + f11 or ctrl + f11 the code executes. windows key + f10 also works. It must be a issue with that specific key bind combo.
The only major difference to last time I was playing is the windows 11 upgrade. Are there any known issues with key binds and windows 11 that weren't a issue with 10?

Is there an addon for the JSE Reive capes trade? Cape + Refractive Crystal.
I know it's likely not possible to have an addon like MAGA because of how differently the two systems work.
But it should be possible to have at least an addon that does:
1) targets the npc
2) trade the selected cape + 1 crystal

You can't do that with macros because you can't trade more than 1 item with a macro.
So yeah, I wonder, is there such an addon around? Would make it much less annoying to go through this process for hundreds of trades.

Has anyone ever taken a pup(or bst) to peach power, does animate recall or disengage the pet

I didn't say they're good to take or why would you want to. Just what happens if you do when you get animated.

Oldwiki has the answer, all pets disappear when animated

The Devs said Limbus was 60% complete, was that before or after the last update? (Omega/Ultima)

After.

It's too bad it's not easier to look up cause it was definitely before. (11/7 freshly picked)

There is not 40% more to go. There's a megaboss and +5 left to add, theoretically.

~Half of it was the initial build, plus the +4, then 10% with the 44 NMs, 30% with U&O and AA gear and the last 10% with a superboss and +5

Before, this was two months ago: still 40% of changes left to implement

I guess it depends on your interpretation of what they mean when they say 60% complete.

I assume the 60% means what they have programmed. In November, when talking about what they had done, they were basically done with ultima/omega. I don't think they intended to say that the job NMs and the JSE+4 was 60%, I think they were saying, we've done JSE, job-based NMs, and ultima/omega, we still have 40% more to go.

It literally says as part of the remaining 40% ultima and omega (and gear) will be added in december.

But doubling down on wrong is your favorite thing

I can't wait to see where they throw... 100 more nms give or take? and/or another couple sections with 5 more floors each.

Oh, I got it, Dynamis Divergance Beaucidene but they're gonna call it Beau-Limbus

I think we have all learned by now that making any attempt to logically interpret the information we're given is an effort in futility. If we're only at 60% of the content implementation at the point of Ultima/Omega, I couldn't venture to guess what the remaining 40% would be.

I had this exact same issue recently, really want to know what's going on and if there's a fix incoming?

Is the Jeunoan Tree furnishing available right now? The Smilebringer mini-game seems to only award Yule Talismans and foodstuffs for me.

JPwiki seems to claim it has been removed since the Yule Talisman was added, the tree can brought from the Moogle NPC.

Taking a shot in the dark, but there is an option in Windower settings > Advanced (after selecting profile, before clicking arrow to go to POL) "Allow Windows Key: Off/On".


I think it defaults to Off?

Other than that, it might be a Game Mode setting in Windows 11 that disables the Windows key in certain fullscreen / borderless apps.

On my laptop, I have a button that will also disable the Windows key (function + Windows). Took me a bit to figure that one out...

Anyone else remember Odin wandering around outside Aht Urghan areas as "Dark Rider" and was attackable? Not finding anything on wiki. Was that a special campaign or a time-limited thing?

I don't remember him being attackable, just targetable. This is one of those lost vana-facts from right after ToAU release, like how Mythic weapons were 50k alex at release.

One of my fondest memories of early ToAU era. Was meripo on imps in caedarva when he sidled up and we took him on. Hit for 0's but were able to stay alive until he started doing single-target death spells on us. I'm sure I've got a screenshot around... somewhere.

I too had the dark rider stroll up on our exp imp party, no idea what happened to it though.

Brought it up before but not many ever saw it

I remember that being a campaign, don't remember what for.

Is there a particular BCNM with a higher drop rate of Cloud Evokers than others? I've just been doing Uninvited Guests, but looking to add another BCNM in my rotation.
