What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Hades will never ever have those ops available. Ever. Save your gil and wait for someone from another server to bring those over and put them on the AH, at highly inflated prices but exactly what you'll have to pay if you want it.

My Roundel earring was 5 mil, but since those ops have come out, there has not yet been an opportunity for us to do them on Hades, and I don't think there ever will be. We suck at Besieged still.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Logging on in the morning to see that nothing on the AH has sold because a linkshell member that was in your own BCNM party undercut you by 501g on the AH.

Me and a friend put our Utsusemi Ni Scrolls up on the AH. The going rate for one was 420k, I was undercutting at 417,501k figuring that somebody wouldn't notice and still pay 420k. So I check the AH the next morning and his scroll sold for 417k and yesterday 3 dudes that did the BCNM on Tuesday night sold all three of theirs for 410k so undercutting 7k and mine still hasn't sold.

The exact same problem with me trying to sell my Luisant gear back. D:

I knew I was going to regret it, but noooo~

See ...this is the ONLY reason I'd consider a trip to another server... I have a RL buddy who'd totally follow me there and back again (a Hobbits Journey lol) cuz Hades seems like home but I'd hate to be "that guy" lol. And about waiting til someone brings em... My luck will never permit me to be logged on to buy one IF one ever shows up on AH...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

LOL I got a good feeling that the closer it gets to the weekend, more Ni's will start selling. We also gotta do 1-2 more runs today so hopefully we get a epic run with 1x PCC and 2x NI scrolls in one run. We were supposed to do 3 runs last night, RDM got sleepy so we called it early after we died on the 2nd run.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah. There were people with Gothic Gauntlets within 1-2 hours of the update. Some of them got it on their first casket. I've been in Xarc for 10 hours and have nothing to show for it.

IMO just plan to exp there for a bit, either solo or small party.

/chucks her third pair of gothic gauntlets

Moderately amused that it took me forever to get a pair, and now they drop like flies.

That WotG's ending was not included in the latest update/expansion was for me the most disappointing aspect of the update.

I think I won't like the end to WoTG because it'll be like finishing a good book. Nice to have read it and all, but now there won't be anymore to the story and that'll suck.

All I want are some WoTG updates!

Wow o.O Should move to seraph, we only suck if something new and shiny comes out. We also have plenty of tarus, namely Murphie here.

{Understood} ... this I can get behind. Though I would love and "end-storyline" reward equivalent to say .. the CoP rings so there's more interest in doing Wotg beyond the gobbie-bag ingredient missions... the right updates could generate the interest.

****************************
Reminds me... so with this last update, SE created even more disinterest in the WotG expansion by nerfing the Fortifications so much. I would understand a minor nerfing. I have read many rants and justifications and counter-arguments to counter-rants... I don't care .. it sux.

I had no idea it was sooo greatly nerft until I was trying to get some kinda headway towards my Cobra Subligar and there were no defensive positions to hold at battle so I rushed out to Jugner (s) to join in the fight.

As I got my tags the mobs despawned and the forts were left by their lonesome so I thought it the perfect oppurtunity to see what all the crying was about.... as a Dnc I macro the crap outta that wall... I used as many abilities as my TP can muster. I and the maybe 2-3 other players saw the Orc-warping trio show up like 2-3 times during this really really long bash-fest yet no influx of mobs to actually fight... Finally after what seems like forever I get my reward ....

70 exp and 60 dinky points for easily 45min-1hr of this hand-killing macro cramming.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr... thats beyond nerfing... that's insulting imHo ... I do not foresee myself campaigning in a beastmen controlled area in the past ever again if the beastmen aren't there. Even then, that's only after I would have exhausted all possibilities of defending city-controlled areas... oh well I guess. Maybe it's all part of some grande plan...

lol/weep who am I kidding?

Axe Beak and Sound Blast.

9 spawn points my ass. I can find the two that hang around j-9 but the other 7, I swear, they don't exist.

Also, the assholes never use Sound Blast.

That is my point. Ninjutsu scrolls are a guaranteed sale. It will take a few days but they will sell so there is little point in undercutting on them unless you're so desperate for gil you're willing to give RMT cheaper items to relist.

Undercutting on competitive stuff like Yag Drinks, Powder, Oil, any fish that sells for a high about of gil (Nebs, Noble's, Sole, sometimes Bluetail), Quivers, Mithkabobs etc isn't so annoying since you need to be cutthroat with those items to make a sale since the merket is always flooded with those items.

However when it's something like an items that everyone will want at some point but there is not a high supply on the AH (e.g Utsusemi Ni) then it just makes me sad that other players know so little about making a profit

URGH. I know exactly what you mean.

I know there are 9 spawn points, but they're spread out as fuck, and /RNG doesn't exactly help your survivability. I feel so bad for you right now. Those fucking dicks kept hammering me with Poison Pick and petrify whenever I could actually find them.

I had to find some Giant Bird Feathers for a quest recently, and even with Wide Scan II those things are hard to find. Tabar Beaks are higher level (which obviously will be a problem for you), but as a WHM75 with a gimp BST sub, I was finding lots of them along the east side of Sauromugue and even got the lottery pop NM.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Looks like Windurst will be under seige this coming week, we're probably going to lose all of our zones.

While I welcome the chance for exp, I don't like that the campaign ops will be more difficult to fit in around a fight. I might be looking to shift allegiances depending on how this goes.

I really wish that SE had given us the new medals and stuff. The Cobra Unit body for the melee is one that I'll probably want, but it's also the last Cobra piece that I'll be getting, unless I choose to pickup some more of the mage line.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Chocobo Hot and Cold. Immediately after I get the "getting fatigued" message I manage to find the spot where the treasure was. But even so with all the digs left after that it wasn't enough to unearth the chest.

Now, yes, I know there's always the chance to "hit the jackpot" and get the treasure in less digs, but, well, I didn't this particular day.

Ah, well, there's always tomorrow.

Yep and now it is down to 340k after price fluctuation.
