  • Re: Random FFXI-related chat

    I had faith restored in humanity today.

    Someone I met in a party and I split off from the main group and travelled to Jeuno and then San d'Oria, she's given me some suggestions on getting started with crafting and how to rely on other methods of moneymaking rather than just crystals. Some random person (Sandringhan I think his name was) in San d'Oria came up to me and gave me 50k, and I was later told that it was part of the "Help the Noob" strategy that several players have going on. Later on, when I was alone and realised I was stranded too far north of Bastok to get back on my own, I asked (not shouted) in a packed part of Jeuno and a kind whitemage (Madhealer) teleported me back to the Dem Crag in the Highlands, allowing me to avoid the Marshland and get to the Outpost in North Gustaberg safely, and thus back to Bastok.

    Of course, I also experienced a party in FFXI for the first time in years where I was able to use debuffs and status aliments on enemies as well as heal, and do some damage - good for me as it's allowing me to sharpen up my knowledge of the redmage. I went from level 17>28 during that, so it's been a good day for my character and a good day for my faith in humanity.

    There was an asshat in the party I mentioned earlier. But he's not worth giving two thoughts to, the asshat.

      Not exactly an accomplishment since any blu can do this easily, and this guy has really high defense so the numbers aren't impressive, but still, double darkness is fun.

        Outside of jeuno in each of the 3 zones there's a field manual. Selecting the repatriation option will send you back to your home nation.

          It's highly reminiscent of oldschool Final Fantasy games. Weapons don't even make contact with the monsters, and they still do damage!

            Was running around Foret de Hennetial yesterday looking for a Colonization Reive to complete an assignment. I was invisible at the time and spotted a LS member doing the Watercraft quest. Decided to follow him so I could just surprise him with the BLU job emote while I was still invisible.

            He was on RDM and aggroed a VT Pugil. Tried to use Gravity on it, then Sleep on it. Both got resisted. I never knew he was a RDM, but apparently he had just finished Abyssea leveling it to 99 so that might explain why I never knew he had it...and why his Enfeebling magic skill was so low.

            Anyway, instead of doing some obnoxious emote on him, I ended up saving his ass. Felt all heroic like.

              Nestroh is a dickface. I think this is the guy who taught the other Adoulin quest-givers to be condescending, entitled pricks.

                    All that matters to me.

                      An issue wherein the magic accuracy is being higher than intended when the level of the one who casts the spell is lower than its opponent.
                      This line actually has me a little worried. Are you trying to tell me that my magic accuracy isn't as good as I think it is?

                        Those stats are on a sword. Not even a great sword. Just a sword. What the Jesus, SE. 130D? Setting all that other stuff aside completely. 130D.

                        RDM can equip it, if you were wondering.

                        Nearly all of the new items in this update are fucking nuts.

                          Jesus fuck-nuggets, what the hell's going on? A one-handed weapon with that kind of damage is just crazy.

                            I saw that new MAB necklace. The Stoicheion Medal I bought is about to tank, I'm guessing....

                              Hey, that's not true at all! Our Bar-element spells last longer now that Rune Fencer can use them!

                              By the way, Armando:

                              (Club) All Races
                              DMG:175 Delay:334 MP+35 Accuracy+21 Magic Accuracy+19
                              Lv. 99 WHM/PLD

                              Neither Rare, Ex, or Aug. How's that for a Club that doesn't suck?

                              EDIT: WHOpanomimi?!?

                                Granted there are a lot of items that have had their day and are due for obsolescence, but there's stuff that came out last month that's worthless now. And just about every piece of armor in that list beats the current best in slot for whatever stats are on it. Insane.
