Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I went to Buburimu. It was just packed. Too many people, not enough mobs to go around.

The previous time I managed to pull in about 60 pieces of currency, but I'm chalking most of that up to personal ineptitude and still learning the zone. Some days there's just too damn many people trying to do the same thing.

Without at least one other person helping I find my time is better spent elsewhere. I lose a ton of time hunting down TEs and my kill speed on RDM is pretty awful.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

What are you targeting? If you're going Rdm would it be more beneficial to target Magic or WS times? I know magic is a pain to proc but I'm guessing a rdm can get a pretty good amount of refresh and just spam dia or bio.

Magic and WS mobs should never be over camped either.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Magic procs are never worth it. You'll sit there spamming Dia until the mob falls over from the DoT and not get a magic proc. I've not tried WS procs though, and that would probably solve the problem of overcamping since everyone and their mother is doing JA procs.

*shrug*
I dunno. Maybe Dynamis just isn't for me.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I agree with magic procs. I went Whm onceâ€¦.onceâ€¦.

If your WSing 2-3 times per mob before it dies, I would suggest that.

Itâ€™s hard for most Bsts or heavier DDing partys to do WS because they kill so fast. Much easier for them to turn, and spam steps then basically 1 shot the mob after it procs. WS times might be the answer if your cycling through a few WSs anyway. I donâ€™t know the math behind it, but seems like its 20-30% chance to proc. Thatâ€™s just me eyeballing though.

I once in a while jump to WS camps if its going crazy. Also always tackle WS proc NMs.

Another option would be Xarc/Beauc areas. Less coins but less people. Plenty of great camps in Beauc. Some decent ones in Xarc

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Doing Nysle Isle Uncharted with a skilled group of SCH x2 EMP DRG, EMP WAR, Relick DRK and SAM 8 times. And to never be able to excel much past floor 70. Then I see various jp's with floor 100 gear scattered around like they didnt use mods to get there. Pisses me off that since I play the game without mods and the ways its designed. I will probabley never see floor 100.

The other thing that pisses me off, is when people use mods to play this game and act like their this godly player...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People who act like mods are the devil.

I was like that once. Then I pulled my head out of my ass.

Getting the correct KIs via Amber farming.

Been solo farming Itz pop sets for Ukon. All 3 are KIs are gold boxable. Usually if I get the Tunga one early, Iâ€™ll just fight the other 2 NMs, but sometimes I get them all from chests.
Mainly doing this because while soloing the NMs arenâ€™t too difficult itâ€™s becoming costly with all the Jugs/Etas I useâ€¦can really add up since I need 25 more scales.

Like I said most nights I get a Tunga KIâ€¦but as of the last 2 nights iâ€™ve gotten
7 Skeleton KIs
4 Waruma KIs
4 Crawler KIs
2 Worm KIs
7 Hecteye KIs
0 Tunga KIs

/sighâ€¦RNG is not on my side...

My crysta ran out. So begins the process of really, really quitting.

You could always add more crysta, move to Cerb, switch your schedule around to line up with my online time and we could wreak some havoc!!

Maybe? If notâ€¦then farewell

I got to thinking if Ulhuadshi is soloable by Nin/Dnc or maybe Pup/???...or any other job that I have.
(Tried a while ago on Bstâ€¦wasnâ€™t totally successful).

This is bad. Someone please stop these crazy ideas in my head. They are my newest pet peeve.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I've also decided I want to start to work on Voidwatch.

I really don't care too much about the rewards. I like the effects of the Atmacites and the challenge involved in the fights that are out there.

I'm going to run around and get all my T1 trigger items and research the fights a little more. I get how weaknesses work after the Akvan fight I was in last night. I also totally understand why people always want Corsairs. I triggered a lot.

I got the second of the 3 Peraphet (butchered the spelling) of Emergence and have at least one Atmacite to equip now.

It gives me somewhere to dump my excess cruor. I have almost 2mil to burn through and that should be able to fully upgrade at least one Atmacite when I decide which one will be most useful to me in the long run. I figure something for Corsair would be best since I'll likely be told to come to Voidwatch on that most often.

Eh... it's something new to work on in a game that doesn't have much left for me to do. So far it's kinda fun. They let me do anything I want as long as I hit the triggers they ask me to hit as well. It makes me happy.

Wiki testimonial (for whatever that's worth) of a BST/nin soloing Ulhuadshi Romy. Just throwing that out there for you.

Guess I should clarify.

I tried soloing Ulh on Bst/Dnc. It was going extremely well most of the fight. But I patted myself on the back too early I guess.
At the last 10-20% I got to a stand still for a good 20 minutes. It was a while ago, so lil foggy.
Ended up going through a bunch more Pet food items than I wanted. Shortly after Rook popped on and joined. Saved the day.

So didnâ€™t technically win, but didnâ€™t technically lose.

Spoiler

Uld-1 Bst-0

Alsoâ€¦
Uld-1 Pup-0
Got it to ~75%. Iâ€™ll be trying that combo again.

And I just checked gamer escape. That what you meant?

Whereâ€™s this mythical Bst/nin solo test your talking about.
