For tp sets I can see things staying the same especially with how much accuracy is available now.
It's probably my fault for not saying I was scrutinizing my own weapon skills.
I like Sam because it was easier to understand wsd and pdl go brrrr

The cogs are way far off from other mobs
Using such may be detrimental to my results
While I understand it but not well enough to explain it
Doing those calculations against that thing
Is going to overcompensate when I go to exp, do too top floor and even some basement
Leaving a lot of really good gear behind
I understand your hesitation but provided you have distract 3, most BiS tp sets will meet or exceed accuracy requirements with standard buffs. The only parameters you really need to decide for yourself is how much DT you are willing to play with.
For curiosity I just ran WAR with naegling for an easy example. 40% PDT/50% MDT. Standard buffs, HM/March/Minuet/Minuet, Chaos/Sam rolls, Grape Daifuku.
The set for the highest level cogs is the exact same set for the lowest level apex bats under the exact same conditions. This may vary to some minute degree for various jobs but gaining 1/10th of a second faster tp gain typically is resulting in only significant defensive loss and sometimes even acc loss for an incredibly marginal gain in tp generation.

Increasing the competition for purchasing materials and also increasing competition for selling items will have unintended consequences for everyone, not just crafters, but literally anyone who buys and sells things. Maybe you normally sell HMP, well now congratulations, you just imported thousands of HMP and people doing Ambu/Voidwatch, who are trying to sell their HMP.
Maybe it will be great because only things you want to buy will go down in price, and everything you want to sell will go up in price, but...I don't think that's very likely to happen.

Paying $20 to buy something from asura is dumb, too
It wasn't just to buy something. I left a loaded mule behind to sell things and used the earnings to buy things I couldn't get at home. You can just send another mule at the same time you're bringing the first back, but I really didn't even need to do that. As I said, Sortie and Limbus are not gil sinks so we don't really have to care about gil beyond a certain point.

FF14 players coming to explore FF11 are most likely going to fall in one of two categories:
1-were previous FFXI players and have knowledge of sites like FFXI and BG and know what to look for
2-have connections to people who fall under #1 and will ask them for guidance

And I broke two fake Microsoft accounts already lol

Also remember that current FF14 content is Echos of Vanadiel. I'm sure a lot of people that played briefly 20 years ago might be playing this and coming back.
Oh, for sure. We'd want to create the best new player experience for those folks so they feel inclined to stick around during the massive FFXIV content droughts.

If you're on any of the bottom 12 servers, it might sell in a week. Depending on how aggressively you undercut it.
Dumbest hot take of the day. Carbuncle currently has 0 stacks of DM on AH, and the price is spiking because there's not enough supply. I've bought 11 stacks in the last ~3 months and I'm just one person.
Or you get the urge to make 10 Crocea, they will sell in 1-2 days on Asura, it'll take an entire month on somewhere like Valefor.
This is just incredibly stupid behavior, why in the absolute *** would you make 10 of the same sword, on any server? Also really, REALLY bad math. 1.331 Crocea sell/day on Asura. If you were the only person who ever sold a Crocea, it would take at least a week to sell 10. Spoilers: you aren't the only one selling, because there are 6 on AH
Alex, HMP, PBR all sell 10x faster on asura, and conversely are 10x easier to buy on asura.
Yeah, but also: you have 10x as much competition for buying (and selling) those things. If there are 20 people trying to buy the same 100 stacks of Alex, where there are 2 people buying them on Cerberus...

Who said a ***' thing about RMT? I think it's a bit hilarious that the first thing your mind goes to is RMT when any kind of gil is involved. Some people make gil to play the video game, not to buy or sell it for RL money. Wild thought I know.

If someone looks at the UI, doesn't see any population indicators or any reason to select a different server, and doesn't have the presence of mind to google 'does it matter what server I join on FFXI'...
I don't think they have the resourcefulness to play through the game, anyway.

Mr "I'm right" thinks a brand new player is signing up to play a 23 year old MMO with no outside influence, just finding FFXI randomly and signing up.
99.9% of brand new to FFXI players are being influenced to play it from an outside source, either via a streamer or from reddit or something else, and through this influence will wind up on a popular server, they wont land on "a dead server".
I would think some people end up playing because it's a mainline FF entry.
Every MMO gains players through outside sources. Marketing, word of mouth, etc. FFXI is no different (in this case I think the crossover with FFXIV is bringing in new people). That's why making new players happy with what they see is important. We want them to stick around. Signing into a dead server on a MMO doesn't accomplish that (unless they're specifically looking for a solo experience) which I guess FFXI can accommodate to some degree.

The only reason to play on Asura is the AH.
Tourism yes, residence no. Vacation on Asura during a discount campaign when you want some souvenirs. I would only live there if I were in the service industry and it was my job to farm gil or content for other people.

most people wouldn't invest that much money into multiboxes if they couldn't sell RMT
the amount of 4-6boxers who buy in huge quantities from me leads me to believe you're completely wrong
it's more a matter of having disposable income and enjoying the scripting/planning aspects of the game for most, imo

What if you've got a lock on the Sif's Macrame market, and now there are 3 new people who sell them?
What if the server you transfer to has synthesis materials, or JSE materials, at twice the price of the one you're leaving? This can be summarised under "BUT MUH MONOPOLY!!1!" and "MUH RMT ACTIVITY!!1!1!!!"

Why would a person with 6 accounts go to a highly populated server where they can never find a free camp.
That makes no sense what so ever.
a lot of them need to have their gear merced because having 6 characters isn't enough to actually clear things with them The other side of the coin is probably that most people wouldn't invest that much money into multiboxes if they couldn't sell RMT services to earn it back, they simply need customers.

Not like a 6 boxer is joining any Pugs. A lot of people that own 6 will use 3/4/5 for certain content and pug the other slots. Not everyone is a master of Silmaril, or has the patience to alt/tab or use send and do things manually with more than 2/3/4 chars.

You have jig if you take DNC, only BRD RDM COR have jig if you take 2 DD. I really much prefer not to get cursed for the minimal effort it takes to kill 6 instead of 3 and to kill Naraka.

Just from a business standpoint, there's no issue with small servers. If the gameplay experience is meh and people can pay the extra $18 to transfer, that's an additional revenue stream.
I mean, it depends. If a new player logs onto a smaller server and discovers it's a ghost town, they might conclude the game is dead and move on. This has happened with a lot of the newer MMOs, and I would think FFXI at this point in it's life cycle probably doesn't get that as much, but still.

What mob or values should I be using to check my sets for
Locus
Sortie top
Sortie basement
I'd suggest looking at this page. the long_horned twitter link at the top is valuable as well.
you can just add them directly to enemies.py
Some of the wiki pages (bg or wikia) do have some stats listed (both for regular mobs and NM), I'd say take reasonable guesses based on other info for anything that might be missing.

Never knew about the Pom-pom fruit. For 40k/12, that's a neat investment, especially with no Medicated effect. IIRC they're pretty weak but it's something that you can throw on top of an imperfect bolters in a pinch.

Every other server being a ghost town caused asuras congestion.
No. Asura is full because there are hundreds of players playing across thousands of accounts. The actual elephant in the room... with the 5 other elephants all lined up neatly behind it in matching lockstyles. Self inflicted. I find it hilarious that the biggest argument in favor of going to Asura is "more people to play with" and the problem with Asura is all the multiboxers.
I think it's hilarious that anyone would try to make an argument to move to Asura. It's a lot easier to come up with reasons to not be there. The only thing I missed was a more active economy, but with Sortie and Limbus(so far) having no gil sinks... good riddance.
