For what it's worth, they said the server lockdowns were because of backend stability, not queue times.

I hope SE puts a withering tree at the top of Parodomo Tor. Each time you get a Mastery rank up, a leaf falls of the tree. When you reach 9, the last leaf falls. When you reach the 10, the tree dies.
Or ...a progress bar would be cool too. :)

I didn't make any value judgments, I'm just curious to see how much someone (and by extension, everyone) will spend over the useful lifetime of the item before it falls out of favor in the meta (which given the pace of updates, could be quite a while!).
Sounds like it's not so much removing money from the economy as slowing the rate at which it enters - which is really just splitting hairs.
On a broader note regarding the update, I was trying to explain to someone who used to play what this update was like and how things feel and the word I kept coming back to was "consequential."

9 posts since the necro bump (not incl this one), and 5 of them are from the person who constantly repeats how stupid VanaBout is and no one should care about it.

That doesn't say complete set... it's clearly a rendition of cerano devergerac!

You just click nodes and start writing it. You don't need access or permission.

the amount of change in our lifetimes is more than any other time in human history, I feel. My grandmother lived long enough to experience the wright brother's first flight through newspapers and magazines and watch the first moon landing on TV.
I think she beat us all out in that regard.

I am ashamed, but, this is the set I've been using on VD with 2-3 minute kill times with usually 20-30 seconds left on OD : o.
Initially was doing it with just 100JP, but decided to just bite the bullet and push for 1200JP. It's doable with 100JP, but with that set you'll just reliably be doing D. If you push the extra 1100JP, you can do VD.
What attachment setup? I have the Taeon set 5/5 with 25acc/-4DT/+5DA, SU4 Hands. Pitre body +2 for OD. OD keeps running out by 10-20%.

1) Anything I can skip with the second+ chocobo? I still have to get the stories for Canter/Gallop, right, the Handkerchief, all that?
2) Aiming for something in the range of 255 STR, 40 END, 216 DSC, 128 RCP? Or do I want like 64 END and 192 DSC instead, I don't know how dump a dump stat it is. You'll never be able to get Endurance that low. The only way to lower it significantly would be to do the Digging for Treasure care plan. Note that you can slowly lower your physical stats over time by feeding zegham carrots everyday but it's very minor.
If you're set on getting endurance that low, you need to start over. The best you'd be able to get to is your 2nd and 3rd highest stats being roughly equal.

It's impossible to know without knowing exactly how the server uses stats, but many stats scale linearly so it's not a massive loss to be in the middle (254 STR is faster than 224 STR, or for digging you'll scale up max digs until capping at ~200 END). However, some other things do seem to be hard cut on ranks, like if you don't meet exactly C (96) by day 29 you won't get the appearance modifier for the stat.
Either 64 END 192 DSC or 32 END 224 DSC would be fine more than likely. Both of those will work for anything race specific (I have the former on one of my birds and I win C1 around 55% or so) but from experimentation DSC seems to help racing more than END does overall. Splitting in the middle may be fine, but most people aim to hit a specific tier if they can.
There's effectively exactly a 640 total stat cap (so 20 stat grades) but stats cap a rank at 224 for First Class. The highest you can take a stat naturally is 254 unless you get the appearance modifier for the stat which gives +1, except for RCP. RCP gets a bonus stat point for reasons we're not even sure for, some birds have it, some don't. Might be one of the egg flags.

My friend is going to Japan and has offered to buy me ffxi merch. What are some ffxi stuff you can get in Japan that aren’t/haven’t ever been available in the US?

I think people overestimate how much you spend. Using it for everything that requires dps boost daily, it would maybe be 500k tops.
I used it in Dyna-D and spent 1.2m, which, considering it's a 2-hour event, wasn't that bad.

My armchair speculation without any proof whatsoever is that:
Titles are worth a point value based on their Gil cost on the title bard.
A 600g title is worth more "points" towards rank up than a 200g title.
In reality, who knows, and we'll likely never know.

Should I keep chipping away at ROE or do something else? IE title hunting or Monstorcity, or something else? Thanks. Since you have to do everything, start with something. Do something different when you get bored.
well main concern was if anyone know if one activity is weighted more than another. Such as does title farming give more than ROE, etc.

Rank 7 looking to get rank 8, only a little Monstrocity done and never cared for ballista much.
Was working on ROE(841 done).
Should I keep chipping away at ROE or do something else? IE title hunting or Monstorcity, or something else? Thanks.

In 2025 those tells will get you banned faster than botting.

was toying with the idea of making a node/guide here with as many connections between real life mythologies and their use in FFXI as equipment names, enemies, etc. as I could find. would be a pretty big undertaking as there are probably hundreds if not thousands of potential examples. just started looking into sources beyond wikipedia and haven't given any real thought on how to format and present it.
would anyone be interested in such a thing? how does one get access to a node here?
Try recording and post on youtube, I think more people would like to know

Using a scroll of instant stoneskin(from curio moogle) will allow you to take 1 or 2 hits with 0 damage while KoH fires off Dia III and can then run off to safety at a distance.
