I had no idea this was still being updated. Massive thank you to whoever is keeping that amazing tool going. The version I'm using is probably 10 years old and it still works perfectly.

Chair shopping is an absolute pain now... Nobody locally has any good stock to try. I bought a memory foam bottom with mesh back Temperpedic about 8 years ago and it's still holding up great. Herman Miller is not worth the money because they market themselves to large companies buying large amounts of chairs.
Don't be fooled by pricetags with office chairs. Secret Lab is just heavily marketed Chinese junk. Unless your goal is to show off that logo on your Twitch stream, you may as well buy "Racer X Gaming Office Chair Extreme 2000".

Weird question.
I started using 'gs org' after job switching to cut down on wardrobe use.
Works great, but it puts consumable items into safes and other non-reachable outside the mog house storage.
Is there any way I can get organizer to only use certain bags for things like meds, food and any other consumable without outright disabling those storage spaces.

Herman Millers are for office drones and ex-office stock that you get for cheap.
They're not good chairs other than that. Just marketing and $$$ makes offices buy them.
20-30 years ago they were one of the only good office chair options. Now days there are plenty cheaper and better options.

you can put all your other GKTs in storage:
Almost. Doji is used in instances where WS dmg is low and you want to maximize SC damage. Eg Kei and that frog ambu that you can't use buffs on.
Other than that, yes.

...You asked a very vague question about weapon options that didn't include Ambu weapons, and when given a list of alternative options to your vague question, your response is "COR+BRD would be the best choice cuz damage/spamming Savage Blade with Naegling". I have no idea why you ask these open-ended questions, ignore 95% of the suggestions, and then state what you had already in mind long before asking the question.
Fooled me once, shame on you. Fooled me twice, shame on me.

as it takes a very long time and gil to get it to the point where it's "Ready"
Pretty much just need neck and empy harp in terms of large investments as far as I can tell.
Not having mythic dagger sucks a bit for proper duration on Honor March, but its still fine enough as a pocket brd for tri boxing stuff.
This isnt my main account, this is another character I am gearing up to support my main character in content, I just dont wanna invest more than maybe ~100mil into it.
Aeonic + Miracle cheer is "free", and then empy harp is quite cheap to make compared to others.
Warrior is also very cheap though, and both bard and war can get by with naegling.
So yeah I do agree War looks like a solid starting point, and since it uses naegling that transitions into bard very well too.
TP Bonus dagger offhand is "free", so is tp bonus sword/axe offhand either way.
nyame+sakpatas is dirt cheap for gear and, tbh, prolly just a 5/5 sakpata war with naegling is already gonna put out decent damage numbers to support my main cor in combat for doing random content.
Honestly it'll just boil down to which comp does better damage overall on stuff, Cor+Brd (without relic/mythic), or Cor+War (with chango)
My gut says Cor+Brd still comes out ahead, both just spamming savage blades with naeglings, cuz 4x songs + 2x rolls is so much damage, especially with adding in Sylvie buffs, we'll probably tear through most random stuff.
A lotta stuff I can just solo on cor already, but having the second char is gonna greatly expedite things really.

The weapon is probably the least important element of your situation then. The weapon won't make a huge difference if you don't have the gear to support it.
Anyways, if it were me, I'd pick WAR or MNK. Easy to gear, easy to play, decent options as soon as you hit 99 (Sakpata, Mpaca, Kendatsuba, Sulevia/Flamma, Mummu) that can be bought with little effort or dependency on JSE (WAR would need more JSE than MNK IMO), and is very strong/tanky when supported. MNK can buy Sakpata's Fists, WAR can grab the Bunzi's Chopper. You won't have ranked Nyame (less important for MNK) but you could still have some decent sets within a few hours and some clears. MNK can even buy Sakpata's Fists (Su4) for relatively cheap and just sell it back when you're done with them if you don't augment them. I wouldn't invest in BRD unless you plan on going all the way, as it takes a very long time and gil to get it to the point where it's "Ready". Or just make MNK as your farming job and build BRD in the background.

But you have to have a purpose for all of these weapons for whatever you're wanting to use them for, so you have to be specific.
Gearing up a newish character, deciding on what job is easiest to get as fast as possible / easiest as possible to "Actually useful for stuff" mode
Geo of course is pretty hard gated by the long *** wait for idris, or you have to drop a huge amount of gil on the neck.
At the moment the strongest 2 contenders are bard or warrior. Bard can get off the floor and be moderately useful with just naegling+miracle cheer, which the char can have tomorrow night (still have bonanza token, and 1 quest away from 170 deeds for pulse weapon)
I already personally have a +8 naegling cor on my main, so another cor wouldnt be very useful.
Warrior also seems like a decent option, since you can go for Naegling + Loxotic mace and then start bead grinding for chango, which is a pretty quick route.
But if I was gonna spend 50k beads when I have bonanza token + naegling already on hand, I feel like I'd be better off getting aeonic horn for bard, which then just leaves empy harp to get the bard to "actually pretty jacked" as a second char.
Id still want mythic later but tbh miracle cheer + empy + aeonic is prolly plenty to get by.
And since derpyderba is a much cheaper and easier empy to make, it's arguably about the same cost as a dyna weapon, and since the other items are sorta "free", thats pretty good.
So thus everything comes back to "is there any other options than just naegling on war or brd" really, thus the question of whether any other jobs can *** ***up with stuff other than an ultimate weapon or ambu weapon.

I am almost positive its related to the settings, because you have to constantly adjust them but I could never figure it out.
Well, you basically need to setup a microsseevice using a crank for it to work.
At least this is how I feel when I looked at the picture of it.
It price is way beyond something a mutt like me would consider to buy.

Most do Domain Invasion for bead farming
Im aware but afaik thats not actually fast, thats just slow/afk'able/easy
In terms of fast, I'm pretty sure geas fete is way way faster, no? Especially if trio boxing.

Most do Domain Invasion for bead farming Yeah, THF spamming Evisceration gets like 1,000 beads per DI (critical hits give a score bonus and it's very low-effort)

alright i might as well ask an odd question here:
what if you arent attack capped? or at least not able to trigger the PDL from the prime? is stage 4(or i guess stage 5 as well) still going to hit harder(i'd imagine skillchain would add more dmg alone?) with mumei compared to fudo with masa?
<<< is lonely solo man sam. so PDL does nadda for me
Why do you ask question, which I answered with details..
i.. have no idea how i missed that.. ty

For what job?
|
|
 |
|
That's what I thought.
Aeonics seem like the next best option in terms of ease, so I guess my next question would be:
What would folks recommend as the best way to farm beads for a trio if we have moderately decent modern gear.
I assume its spamming some geas fete stuff, but what's a good target to spam, and how many beads/hr do you usually average doing it?

Looking for folks input on what, if any, jobs have a "next best" weapon option that:
1. Isn't an "Ultimate" weapon (To be specific, I count anything that costs more than maybe 60~70 mil to make, and/or takes more than a week or two to get, so I don't count SU5 Dynamis weapons here, they're fine)
2. Is not an Ambuscade "pulse" weapon, because it's competing with Naegling as your "freebie" pulse weapon you can take and you'd be pretty silly to pick anything other than that
3. Mogbonanza weapons (not reforged) are fine (said character hasnt turned in their token yet, so could take one)
To be more specific, if the "next best" non ultimate weapon for a job is an ambu pulse weapon, don't even mention that job.
Thus I guess the simplified question is: are there even any jobs that have a "next best" great option other than ambu pulse / ultimate.

Lenovo Legion 5. It's set to the "performance" mode currently—just in case anything was trying to hobble the CPU/GPU—but it was originally "balanced" when the issues began.
I use 2048MB VRAM on dgvoodoo, but I will try 1024 and see what happens. My dgvoodoo settings are otherwise identical to yours, except I have 4x anisotropic filtering. I will also set this to "app driven" to test.
All power save/sleep settings are disabled (HDD, Display, etc) in Windows as well as the manufacturer's software.
I don't use any HD replacers. I've already tried stripping addons and plugins down to the bare minimum of essential plugins and I still crash. One thing I could try is afk pure vanilla FFXI to see if it is a Windower-dependent crash, but that seems unlikely.
edit: LOL 1024MB in dgvoodoo fixed an FPS issue I had resigned to suffer forever:
https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/58480/ffxi-stuttering-only-at-60fps/#3751510
So blessings of Altana on you, brother.
Nice! Let me know if the freezing persists (even if it's less frequent) or if a specific windower addon or plugin is giving you trouble and I can take a look it.

Well, it's time to dump your gil. Buy all the loot and flee to another server. Will cause a mild case of inflation in Asura while the yell bots will find themselves on the 2nd and 3rd most popular server as SE start trimming them off.
Of course, congestion will be the same as the main bots are still there

Are you going to be deleting your characters multiple times, really?
Also; Never said it was a good or bad idea, only that it exists. Can be done is not a recommendation to do.
My friend back in 06ish (Cannabis) reported his own name offensive and they let him change it. So you have that option too. lol

Ok, so do you guys wanna know why the Skillchain system is the way it is?
Well, initially in 2002 and for most of 2003, only level 1 and level 2 skillchains existed.
This means that the level 2 and level 3 interactions that most are familiar with and can easily remember were not present in the game at all.
Look at the level 1 Skillchain chart on BG Wiki. That's all that there was, and initially, skillchain damage worked in a vastly different way, and could not be resisted whatsoever.
Many weapon types would also only have a single type of skillchain element across any weaponskill. Dual type skillchain elements were somewhat rare, and only added in late in 2002. Most weaponskills also had entirely different Skillchain properties, and said properties used to interact differently.
Some prime examples being:
Penta Thrust used to have Tranfixion as well as Compression, and so could skillchain endlessly with itself.
Rampage used to have Detonation as well, so could skillchain endlessly with itself.
Priority system with SC properties was also not a thing initially, so a lot of dual property WSes used to make level 2 SCs that no longer do.
TL;DR - The system got changed dramatically when they introduced level 3 skillchaining, and the priority system for level 2 SCs along with it. Initially there was an intended system for every opposite element to be able to SC endlessly like Detonation/Scission and Comrpession/Transfixion still do. The idea around the system was the combination and duality of all elements. This changed particularly with level 1s to accomodate the higher tiers and to limit player progression, as original SCing was seen as too powerful and made early game too quick.

Herman miller or steelcase are the gold standard if you spend long hours in it and want to treat your back right. They're pretty expensive new, but if you browse craigslist/facebook you can often find them from office closures pretty cheap.
All love to Vyre, but the Shaq chair looks like someone took the base from a bargain basement gaming chair and slapped the most excessive leather seat they could find onto it. They might have put ergonomic in the name, but it doesn't look like it has anywhere near the amount of pivots/customizations of industry standard ergonomic chairs. Granted, I can admit I have bias against sports endorsements. When I sat down on it in Office Depot on a random date night that went there, it just really sinks in. It's super plush and supported my lower back in a way that few chairs do. I found it very easy to actually lean back in, and unlike actual gaming chairs (/ewww) my head didn't hit the head rest before my back touched chair. I can't stand typical gaming chairs at all. They're made for mutants.
All in all, don't knock it until you sit in one. Shaq hasn't played sports in 14 years. He's been doing endorsements on Papa Johns and other things, and even got sworn in as a police deputy in Georgia.
