You'll have to ask an Admin about that ;) Or just go with "End Game".

Working on doing changing my status icons to the XIview ones... Moved them over, and got all kinds of screwy stuff. So apparently, I have forgotten how to do it, or have downloaded to wrong version, I downloaded from here:

Any suggestions? Tips? Tutorial? Hints?

What's the best way to farm geodes, particularly flame? Got annoyed with the mobs leveling up in abyssea so went to Cape Terrigan and got 1 flame geode for the day, including 2 periods of wind weather and 1 period of fire weather.

Whiskering on fireday, sadly is the best way.

Ingame, yes.
With windower .txts\spellcast you can do wait all the way down to 0.1

I haven't found a good way of figuring it out at all, and it's so tough to test without 2 houring on sam. Does anyone have any idea how skill chaining off your own relic type weapon skill's Lv3 chain works? The window in which you need to do your next ws always seems to be a completely random time frame. It's been bugging the heck out of me because I only get the follow-up light/dark chain 50% of the time.
For normal chains, I've always found it wise to wait 1 second after the first weapon skill's animation ends to follow up with mine, but it doesn't seem to work that way at all for the Lv3 chain, resulting in only getting the next light/dark chain half the time.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You can only double light once. That is to say:
Light property>kaiten=double light, but following it with another kaiten wont do a triple light. Also do you switch gear, that can cause you to miss SCs (they still happen, but no message/animation). The timing for SCs is always the same (I personally use 2-3 seconds after I see the WS).
Those would be my initial guesses as to your issue.

You can close a light/darkness skillchain off of a light/darkness skillchain but only once.
And it should work the same as all of other skillchains, note that only weapon skills with straight light or darkness skillchain properties can only do this.

Plainly put, getting that double light is my issue. I do change gear, but I always make sure to wait the appropriate time for the light animation to end even if it disappears prematurely. And that's right where I run into my issue. I'll follow up with say; Fudo, and the double light just seems to have a random chance of not working.
My process goes:
Open: Kasha
Close: Shoha
Lv.3 Light
Close: Fudo
Lv.3 Light <--This just some times doesn't work, even though I try to time it as precisely as possible.
Why, is what I'm wondering.

Do it without gear swapping to get a feel for it, I don't Weapon skill until the skillchain animation ends if It's visible.

I'm pretty sure that the skillchain window is something like 3-10 seconds following the previous skillchain in the logs. If you go too fast or too slow you can miss it.
10 seconds I'm sure about, but 3 seconds I'm not as sure about. I notice that it fails sometimes when I go too fast, but I haven't looked to see the second-by-second difference in damage messages for the short end. Still, that seems about right.

Yeah, I'm starting to believe my issue is trying to close the double a bit too soon.
