Pulling your pet off the mob before it dies because your THF insists that pet killed mobs have no chance of dropping anything.

Proven false thousands of times in dynamis lol

I NEVER do a WS blowshot on a mob. WS -> no drop! ^this^
Also my friends and I had a thing where we said the items name and "can i have it" in auto translate, then another party member had to say "yes please" in auto translate just before the nm died. That usually worked for us.
Oh and if the white mage's reraise wore during the battle you were going to wipe.

LMAO Madawac. Used to say to stock up on Fire Resist gear against WARs in ballista since WAR was a firebased job and that all jobs have an elemental affinity.

For a long time I thought timing a JA between a mob's attacks in Dynamis would make it more likely to proc red. I faithfully did that for a few months.

If you die wearing the first hq santa hat, you will lose less xp, but only if you get a raise.

I will never forget this...
Years ago, if you were up for a drop, my limbus leader would make you get naked and dance with the armory crate while shouting, "I'm a pretty, pretty, princess."

Maybe, but it was fun nonetheless. At least we all got our homams.

I used to play with a couple people that claimed if you died with the food effect white honey on it would lower your weakness time, and reduce how much exp you lost.
Oh the lulz of watching them die over and over and over again to try and prove it.

Also you are doin it wrong with the 4 leaf mandy buds, you are supposed to eat them, right as the game day changes, as you get the normal melee round kill shot. but only as cor/thf. Main handing mercurial kris.

Millionaire's desk in your mog house (yes I still have one there, dangit!) I also carry the lucky items, I don't care what SE says. (wild rabbits foot, lucky egg, fortune wing and four leaf clover)
I also thank Altana when I get a good drop and totally believe in XI karma. IRL I'm an atheist too so it makes me laugh at my gaming self even more.
LOL at THF needing the last hit. UGH how many times did my THF boyfriend yell at me because I didn't let him get the last hit in ><. Of course, now he says it was because it was one last chance for him to crit and TH to proc or s/t...still... /glare.
(FWIW: I don't think facing directions for crafting was superstitious; we had enough data to suggest it did (hundreds of thousands of crafts across many different crafting types); personally I think that players in XI figured it out "too easily" for SE...which is why SE changed it; data pre-that-fateful-update and post-that-fateful-update made many crafters cry....)

divine seal + raise, who doesn't know this? People used to scream at me to cast haste right after raising them, "it would make weakness wear off faster"

If an item is desirable, I will only lot below a 300.
If I lot a crap item for shits and giggles, 997.
I sometimes wonder if I have a hidden luck -30 stat for getting jailed 8 years ago.
Whenever I dont get a drop, or low lot, I always hear a little SE JP man laughing at me... why is that?
This is me totally lol, Never lot above 300 on anything that I actually want. When its just me lotting or its a random popitem thats when the 800+ lots come out.

Running at a goblin before Bomb Toss gets off will make him kill him/herself more often.
I'm looking at you Yuhgtunga/Yhoater Jungle.

No way, because haste takes time to proc!
Back in the day doing a dyna-xarc, we were on our way to kill the ranger NM, and I was the only person going for the rng body drop. A guy in my ls named Sassori told me 'good luck,' and the body dropped! So he was the good luck charm from then on and whenever we wanted something we'd tell Sass to wish us luck to get it to drop.

o w8 this still is going on @ 2012
So I was wondering if any of you have any superstitions when you play FFXI? Superstitions such as a specific routine of actions, carrying specific items around for good luck, or the most well known superstition regarding moon phases?
I always carried a 4 leaf mandragora bud in my inventory, I'm not sure why really, I'm not sure if I even believed it made any sort of difference to anything, but I carried it around anyway so I guess I had a superstition that it might help in a way nobody had discovered before :o
Share your superstitions :)
