What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Actually, somebody posted a really nice looking set here:

FFXIAH.com

Obviously, it's prohibitively difficult for ME to get. But one can dream...

Head: Zelus Tiara
Neck: Houyi's Gorget
Ear1: Hollow Earring
Ear2: Suppanomimi
Body: Goliard Saio (the one piece still grossly outdated...the new body dropped by Arch Ultima cleanly replaces it....but again, one can dream)
Hands: Brego Gloves
Ring1: Thundersoul Ring (there's probably better things here but I probably won't bother mostly due to inventory limitation, probably something like Heed Ring otherwise)
Ring2: Rajas Ring
Back: Atheling Mantle
Waist: Dynamic Belt (conflicted about whether or not this is better than Goading)
Legs: Calmecac Trousers
Feet: Savateur's Gaiters

I did the math one time some time ago. While Zelus Tiara isn't compulsory, strictly speaking, odds are that you're going to want it anyway.

Ket: Goliard Saio is strictly succeeded by the Hedera Cotehardie; that being said the Shedir Manteel is almost strictly better (probably easier to get, too), (fairly) assuming that your Zelus Tiara will be covering that 1% of Haste for you.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Strictly, you say?

EDIT: Eh, more Haste definitely opens up options for alternative gear sets. At the moment, I'm actually dealing with having too much Haste on BST. Trying to see what can taken off in favor of more damage oriented gear.

I didn't even realize we could wear Atheling. I just assumed we couldn't.

This is the set I was considering building: http://www.ffxiah.com/members/item-sets?id=229351
Shedir Manteel shouldn't be too much of a problem for me to get ahold of, since I know some strong players who also want Arch-Omega gear. The Rubeus Spats are perhaps fanciful, but they're so nice ...

...With all the running around subbing /DNC and /WHM other jobs are doing latel in Adoulin, now's as good a time as any to discuss it.

I'd much rather they cut the bullshit and just let Gain-Stat and Temper be Accessionable though.

I suppose the thing to do with the second ring would be to save up for Mars's Ring, if I was really serious about it. 1M isn't too bad. If a Portus Annulet inexplicably came into my possession, I'd probably prefer that.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

1M for Mars Ring. Is that really all it's worth?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

ffxiah shows 2 in bazaars on lakshmi for 1M and 1.2M. Don't know about other servers.

I ought to do Salvage and get Fea's Pigaches. WSing in Rager Ledelsens is cringeoworthy.

Farmed 5 Kirin pops. Recieved 0 Wyrmal abjurations. Fuck you, Kirin.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

How long did it take you to farm 5 fucking sets?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Farming Kirin's pops are easy compared to farming the four gods' pops. Still, 5 pops and no go-faster pants is pretty disappointing.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Well .. yeah. I farmed for the lessers, then killed them for the seals. Pisses me off that I can't solo Brigandish Blade for a totally contrived reason. Freakin pup can equip Buccaneer's Knife, why can't rdm or pld? Stupid kukri. Since when did buccaneers use kukris, anyway? Somali pirates don't count.

How long did it take you to farm 5 fucking sets?

I dunno. Several hours. Spread out over the course of a few days. And everything can drop up to 2 of the pop items, so it isn't AS bad as it sounds time-wise. Still. 0/5. XO

Missions or quests that require you to keep NPC's alive (I'm looking at you, A Feast for Gnats) as well as finding out the Linkshell I've been in for the past few months seems to have died while I was absent for a few days.

I have no one to talk to at this hour (10:47PM), now
