Random Question thread (FFXI related)
By soralin 2025-07-29 10:58:29
it's Grand Velkk Coffers from Incursion
Ahhh *** lol, thats wild.
IIRC theres ways to get those from other content to, thats interesting.
Honestly even at their going use rate, the gil/hr seems like it would be garbage anyways, such a weird choice considering how well geared they all were, blatantly automating like that with like 12 accounts seems weirdly risky to do out in public lol.
Especially at the store you buy cornettes at during vanabout when the cornette quest is an option, basically asking for everyone to walk by and see you doing it.
People are weird.

It would be weird to risk, if there was any risk. It's been going on for years.
It just is what it is now
Craft bots out in the open, too

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could answer a gearswap lua question for me, or point me to a thread with a solution.
I recently returned and grabbed me a Diamond Aspis like everyone else and I'm looking to incorporate it on my WAR lua for JA activation, however I'm looking for some sort of condition I can add wherein it will equip Diamond Aspis for JA's only if I already have a shield equipped; I don't want it wiping my TP if I'm in say 2H mode with Chango.
If anyone could share the code for something along those lines, or their lua that does this, I would greatly appreciate it.

already have a shield equipped
You'll lose tp if you swap shields anyway.

Well ***, could've sworn it was like ammo, but I guess I've never really watched my TP on PLD when shield swapping. Guess this thing is only getting PLD use then. Thanks for checking my derp.

For what it's worth, I would still swap and lose TP on WAR, if I were you. Swapping weapons for 1 second, right after using a WS, will lose you like...125 TP, and in exchange you'll get, for example, 15 seconds of warcry duration. This is absolutely worth it.

You'll lose tp if you swap shields anyway. True.
Could make a check for aftermath up/down and the TP you're currently holding to decide whether to swap the shield or not, could also implement a toggle for it... although there are probably so many already in peoples luas that they forget half of them most of the time.

In gearswap, player.equipment.sub contains the name of your sub slot gear.
It would be nice if they made it so swapping shields doesn't lose TP, but I kind of doubt they will at this point.

Why does the god damn blacklist randomly change order, and is there literally any way to sort it
I leave one character without the addon/filter and blacklist so I can catch the yells I care about, but its obnoxious as ***
Newest additions MOSTLY go on the bottom, but not always; lmlmb went to the top of the list, cokeo is on the bottom of the list, both added at the same time
By soralin 2025-07-31 12:20:07
Its probably ordered by character ID or whatever, which basically makes it random.

Make a addon that redoes the list the way you want it

Have to understand how it works to do that
Is it a file in the user you can sort. Can you force it into slot 17 with a packet. etc

Nah way too complicated and fancy.
You also seem to be the most knowledgeable ATM

Sounds like a simple loop with windower input /blacklist add
Or remove
If you rebuild the list it should follow your expected logic that you posted and could be used across multiple accounts

It seems to just do whatever the hell it feels like
Ronstadt was the number 1 slot yesterday, he's like 20th now. He's been on the list for over a year, he should be the oldest upon it, or top 5 certainly.
I guess I'll just have to pay the minimum amount of attention and see what it does. it'd be nice if the name automatically fell off the list when the character was deleted.

Then you would have the stalking problem 14 has
Because you could identify them by the block id

Exemplar chains work differently than cp and merits
Anyone got any data on the timing mechanic

Chain time limit is roughly half of the one for CP and EXP.
I think time allowed goes down as the chain goes up.
I think Nynja did some extensive tests but I don't remember the results, ping him!
By Kaffy 2025-07-31 17:07:48
30 seconds after chain 30 iirc

Not much of a mage, and kind of been wondering...
What do people mean when they say things like, "Mage Job X gets hit really badly by the nuke wall." ?
Does it not affect all mages equally?
Teach me Mogster!
By Nariont 2025-08-01 01:06:52
Typically that would apply to the mage who is bursting 2nd or further, so like in a pt of blm/sch/geo the geo would likely be the 3rd to burst ideally and thus get walled the most. Assuming all mages are nuking under the same element anyway which is pretty normal as most high end bosses are only "weak" to one element currently

By Avaera 2025-08-01 01:19:39
What Nariont said. In Sortie for example, you normally want the GEO to nuke last so you don't gimp the SCH or BLM damage too much. In my old static we would always have the BLM go first, me (SCH) second and the GEO last.

That logic sorta makes sense but I think in a lot of cases, Sortie especially, the BLM going last makes the most sense. Hitting for 150k or 99k is the same damage, you'd be much better off giving your highest potential to the nukers who AREN'T already hitting capped damage.
By Dodik 2025-08-01 02:41:25
Yes, it's more that blm could theoretically hit 150-200k without the nuke wall if there was no 99k limit.
A 50% reduction from the nuke wall on 150-200 will get you a 75-99k nuke on a blm.
A geo's theoretical max may only be 99-110k on the same mob. A 50% reduction on the geo will be a 50-55k nuke.
A good blm with -ja stacks or 1hrs going can overpower the nuke wall, before it gets real bad, and still hit close to damage cap. A geo can't.

We have BLMs go 2nd for this reason
GEO> BLM > SCH

What gear is ideal to speed run a blm of this quality?
All the MB gear I can get my hands on?
By Dodik 2025-08-01 10:05:52
Blm/geo are easy.
Body, legs Empy. Head Ea +1 or Empy. Agwu hands and feet.
Int and macc accessories and you're done.

think they will ever reforge the scenario rewards? or even reuse the dats, i really liked the look of Mirke Wardecors.
By Kaffy 2025-08-01 10:41:56
will they? no.
however, I really like the idea of some gear with fully customizable stats. earn RP and spend it as you choose, stat vomit included.
