Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Has anyone used the Luzaf trust much? I think something might be funky with his Leaden Salute:

* 12:50 - Mordant Rime (Distortion/Frag) - No skillchain
* 12:56 - Leaden Salute from Luzaf (Gravitation/Transfixion) - Darkness
* 13:01 - Rudra's (Darkness/Distortion) - No skillchain

Has anyone see something similar?

So I am asking because I dont understand the implication

Does he do mordant ?
Do you do mordant and luzaf do nothing?

Or is the question his moves not making skill chains?

Luzaf is a COR, and he says he used Leaden Salute. It made an initial Darkness off of Byrth's Mordant, but he should have been able to follow up with a Rudra's Storm to double-darkness (Mordant > Leaden > Rudra's), and it did not.

Maybe Luzaf's Leaden has a unique property, not standard Leaden type

Is it possible you just missed the window by a hair?

No amount of weird properties will let it make a Lv2 darkness off Mordant Rime, so that had to be a Lv1 darkness, meaning you should've been able to extend it.

If you're able to reproduce it, I'd say report it as a bug.

The only thing I can think is that maybe I R0ed and actually Rudra's happened within 3 seconds of Leaden. Well, I'll keep an eye out.

I've noticed some trusts have odd timing on their SC windows.

ok so I have two characters both have everything on on effects filters...
one character has no additional effects happening during ws spell etc
the second this seems to mean nothing and they continue to display

is there an addon that could be overriding this?

Does it still happen when you load POL directly?

That is a good idea to test, I hate the login process so I was hoping to avoid it.

Can't believe no one has figured out a way to directly interact with pol login yet

I bet that Eiryl guy has something

The same *** miserable pol experience as everyone else.

Anyone else having connection issues tonight? I've been yeeted with a 4001 error AFKing like 6 or 7 times tonight. Its booting me to char select, not crashing the client complaining about access to the lobby, which isnt the norm for these disconnects.

Are there any elementals or enemies anywhere outside of vagary that have a similar HP pool and level/stats to the ones in vagary that I can test my SCH on for objectives?

Skirmish ones in Yorcia are probably similar, all are very weak

Use the macro test cardians, that's literally why they exist my guy

If you need to know how to do 5k without killing, be naked. Or damn near.

Luzaf generally holds to open for you. And very occasionally tries to close SC.

Went out to try to replicate this on WAR for a little bit. All he'll do for me is open for Ruinator with Leaden, which behaves normally, and then I'm able to double dark off it with Cloudsplitter. Occasionally he does the Odin sword slash WS to close darkness off Cloudsplitter when I miss the window.

Also did notice though that his Leaden animation happens like maybe 1.5 seconds faster than a player's, and it is also generated on the server end first like all Trust actions, so it's already happened ahead of you seeing it in log, too, so you gotta WS faster to play off him. Because I had a few times where I Ruinator'd and it should have made Darkness but it made nothing. And the only thing I came up with was WS sooner.

Edit: THat was my line of thinking anyway, but actually seems like you gotta wait for the Leaden animation to be all the way done and just faded out of existence.

I tried these ones and they seemed to have less HP than the ones in Vagary.
I managed to just hone my set during my LS's run and got it to work anyways though.

One of my characters cannot complete waking the beast, https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Waking_the_Beast ,

When he gets to the Ramuh Crystal the fight simply isnt on the list and I can't figure out why, he did have whispers to turn in, which I did, but still nothing ? Anyone have an idea why ?

I was able to do the ifrit fight np, but not this one O.o

Probably because you're on a server that hasn't existed in 15 years.

I simply exist in a different spacetime continuum

For your question, what determines if you can get the quest is if you have Rainbow Resonator KI.

Check for that and do the summon mini quests if you don't have it.

Why were Lustreless Wings worthless on AH for ages (30k stack max) but more recently became 100k a stack or even 150k sometimes? They are surely less valuable now we all have our R15 things?

Speculating: people got in the habit of just NPCing them because they werent wasting the AH spot / inbox spot to clear out the gil, so this had an impact on the supply of wings.

I cant imagine anything has affected the meta to cause wing based UNM items to become necessary.

Anybody know if the additional poison effect on Mandau works on/procs the no water gimmick on A/E in Sortie?

I dont think poison impacts a/e bosses gimmick, if it even lands at all, and its just direct water element dmg(aside wyvern breaths)

what proc rate and duration do additonal effects of magian trail weapons have?

I do have the Rainbow resonator KI, that's what is throwing me off, iv'e done the ifrit fight for the waking the best line np, but when i went to ramuh, it simply wasnt on the list, i re checked and confirmed i still have the resonator... maybe a smn AF thing locking me out idk

So, an interesting thing to note is that while Poison is a water elemental spell, the DoT damage from poison doesn't have an element(or even a dmg type for that matter.) Meaning you can poison a mob that absorbs water damage, and the DoT will still do damage, not heal them.

So I think there's pretty much no chance that Mandau's poison add effect can set A/E boss off that way. Now, if it had an enwater dmg add effect, then it'd almost certainly be absorbed and piss the mob off.

nvm was a case issue, saved something as DD1 but only works in lowercase as dd1

Based on the documentation in that link it should be //aset spellset "name", with "name" being whatever you chose to name the set.

For example: //aset spellset bumbaKI2

The addon doesn't work for ***anyway, only loads half the spells on my other char when running it. Doesn't even try and do it in the same order either.
