Same i have a rank 26 with two matters just waiting for points to use... I still have my doubts people will ever kill nms as much as this ever again though so trying to make sure i get my matters now.

I doubt they matter, but there are a couple of repeatable quests that change as you do them more, but don't ultimately reward another title.
* The Naming Game 10 times unlocks the 4th option.
* Finding Faults - You can get some of the answers wrong and still complete the quest
* The Art of War - You can get some of the answers wrong and still complete the quest
* Bait and Switch (6 times + Chameleon Capers unlocks another item)
* Targeting the Captain - Get all 3 chests
There may be more!

At least for me I've long since gotten to the point where the matter is barely a concern anymore, the units are the clear limitation now. I hope they introduce a way to exchange matter for units in the future.

Making Merlinic with Triple Attack DM augs is a gross concept tho

Perfectly clear and concise answer. Thanks!
(I assumed so, but it would have been nice for it to be marginally easier and be the other way.)

guess that makes it a lot easier to get rewards on mules while probably still leaving you out of luck if aiming for title.

Carbuncle.Maletaru said: »Needs to be considered on a piece by piece basis, not entirely black or white. The floor is 42%, so putting all the trash gear on for for TA costs you a lot of enspell damage (that gets multiplied by crocea and composure) and gains you a tiny amount of TA on a per-piece basis.
Definitely. However some pieces do not have that enspell damage, and some have very little, so there's probably be a breakpoint somewhere where it could be worth it.

i'm a weatherspoon faithful on my main, but i use shneddick on my alt 100%.

The pet cycling and the movement speed issues are both issues, and you glossed over the fact that the 12% movement speed costs you an ilvl gear slot.
A minor point, but I feel like most players ought to be moving to Shneddick Ring at this point in the game anyway. I spent years making fun of a friend for picking Shneddick when rings were new. Now I'm team Shneddick.

Bolter's Roll is only really relevant in caves/dungeons/town. Not insignificant, but a large portion of the overworld is outdoor zones where mounts are allowed, so unless you're trying to enjoy zone music or do Voidwalkers it's kinda ehh.
For towns/dungeons you can use Sprinter's Shoes + Movement speed gear on any job for 22~28% movement speed. 24~30% with Cactuar cheer.
I'd go with BLU/dnc or even BLU/brd(Raptor Mazurka is +10% speed and you get to hear your lovely singing voice). Any dungeon/cave you get agro in, you can just cast Subduction and continue moving without engaging at all. 18% movement speed option in Carmine Cuisses+1, so you don't gotta sandbag the entire Adoulin mission line to get your movement speed (I mean COR can wear these too but...)
BLU can cap its magic haste on its own, too, if you really need it. Like for a quest NM fight or something. Most high end BLU physical spells put most quest mobs in the grave pretty quickly too. It's like the one area they get to shine in, old content with low HP pools. Don't even gotta engage.

Does anyone have any data on the duration of the Melt Kukri/Knife defense down effect?
I've been testing it out on Locus Ghost Crabs today, and it seems to be tier 2 defense down. Able to overwrite Scissorguard, but also seemingly able to be overwritten by it... (this I am unsure of tbh, I don't see the defense down effect wearing off in my log, but I am not sure whether it's up or not when Scissorguard happens).
I'd actually never seen the enchantment effect icon, which looks sick.
I'm also curious to know if the Kukri has a higher potency than the knife. I've only got the knife right now, because I do not have alchemy skilled up/none on AH.

ok, so most of the time it gives 2% but in rare cases it gives 4%!
I knew there was a reason I full-timed it, lol.

Apparently in Japanese:
Macrocosmic Orbs are just Cosmic Orbs
and
Microcosmic Orbs are called Planet Orb.

I've run into something similar however it has not affected FFXI for me - rather it has been a bother for Notepad++. Frequently when I alt-tab to it from FFXI (possibly others as well but I notice it primarily from the game) it will behave as though the alt key is still pressed and when I start to type it instead tries to navigate the menus with my keypresses.
A bit of googling led me to https://superuser.com/questions/1700798/windows-11-alt-tab-keeps-alt-pressed where they suggested PowerToys or other applications that 'register global keyboard hotkeys' as possibly causing the issue. I do have PowerToys running and if I exit PowerToys, Discord and Steam that maybe reduces its frequency. But what really seems to cause it to occur most regularly is how quickly I press and release Alt-Tab. If I press them and then tab through some of the windows it doesn't seem to occur at all. If I have just FFXI and NP++ open and very rapidly tap the buttons to swap back and forth then it happens very regularly. Or if I just pause briefly and don't release the Alt button until NP++ has taken focus then it seems fine as well.

Retested, it does appear to be 3% based on this check:
Gear +18%
Bolters+7 Roll 9 (+32%)
1.18*1.32 + 0.02 = 1.5776 (+56%) or 1.18*1.32 + 0.03 = 1.5876 (+58%)
Targetinfo gives +58% movespeed under this condition
