@Comeatmebro Any clue where it was posted? I don't necessarily expect a link, but any idea may help me figure out where to start.

Unable to load game completely after game crashed while home pointing. Been trying to login for 15-20 minutes and it crashes on the final loading screen every time. Tried loading in both Windower and vanilla POL, not working. Submitted a GM request on other char but have a feeling that's not gonna be very quick.. any ideas on how to possible fix this?
Do a system restore to a point before the crash is probably the easiest thing to do.

I've been trying to deal with weird controller issues, but there is one i just can't seem to fix. I'm using an Xbox elite controller, even using Xpadder, the triggers just refuse to work. I can't use macros due to this. Is there a work around for this? I could put them on the shoulder buttons, but that just feels wrong. Also why does Xinput just completely break the settings?

You're using an x-input controller, you need to have x-input selected to use x-input controls, such as the "triggers." Same with a 360 controller.

does "Cure" potency affect waltzes?

No, but you have plenty options of waltz potency available.

Again, no. Waltz potency received is its own unique stat, separate from cure potency received.

I thought so too, I'm updating a DNC lua and the person who originally wrote it seems to be unaware, just doublechecking.
...Then something else I'm unsure about.
-Does enmity +gear have any effect on animated flourish? I thought not but I could be mistaken.

Enmity+ gear affects any action that generates enmity. So yes.

Hi.

Regarding the steps to pop plouton, ive been taking too long in the kill 5+ elementals with magic. Normally i need to clear the fire and ice camps, just poping in the earth ele camp. My question is if thats normal, and can i cleave those elementals with ajas to speed up the process?

Thanks in advance.

For the normal magic kill step, the killshot must deal a certain amount of damage for it to count. I don't know the required amount of damage necessary, but I think it's around 7k. And yes, AoE spells count all the enemies they kill.

hey guys. switchmon actively refused to switch between my dual box setup on the same machine. No matter what i did. Is there an alternative or if not any ideas why it wouldn't switch tabs? If I was focused on something else the switch occurs, just not with the game...

Run out of options to try so decided to ask here in hopes someone with a similar issue can help rectify this issue for me :)

Is it windows 10? If yes, you can try running both programs as admin. Idk if its the same problem but i use xpadder to alt tab using my controller, and i could change before running both program as admin.

Byrth, or maybe it was Rooks, I can't remember now :( gave me a AutoHotKey script a while back which has worked great.

1. AutoHotKey Program
Download the program.

2. Create a script using auto hot key.
Code
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

; Run every line
Critical
  
; Avoid warning dialogue about over-hits
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 50000
#HotkeyInterval 1
  
#WinActivateForce
  
; Switch active window from Divinian to Twaddle to Tweedle
Joy10::
{
  IfWinActive Divinian ahk_class FFXiClass
  {
   If WinExist("Twaddle ahk_class FFXiClass")
   {
     WinActivate
   }
  }
  else
  {
    IfWinActive Twaddle ahk_class FFXiClass
    {
      If WinExist("Tweedle ahk_class FFXiClass")
      {
        WinActivate
      }
    }
    else
    {
      If WinExist("Divinian ahk_class FFXiClass")
      {
        WinActivate
      }
    }
  }
 return
 }

3. Obvious;y replace the names with your own and save it as whatever you want. Also be sure to choose which buttons or key you like to use to switch. For me its Joy10.

4. Run the script and you should be good to go.

Hi.

Does the skill up campaign works on automatons? I just left my auto to beat reives in kamihr and went back 30 mins later, and he went from 385 to 417. It was a lot better than im used to gain, with idk, 10 lvs/hr?

Thanks in advance.

I'd love to underline a thing since I've been stupid enough that I didn't think about it until someone made me notice it (think it was Martel who did so!)

Gear with "+enmity" do not add a static amount, it's rather a % multiplier of the base enmity of the spell/ja/thing you're using.
Which means if you're using something that generates ZERO enmity, of course +enmity gear will produce no result at all.

This was already clear from Martel's original post but appearently for dumb people like me it wasn't so I took the chance to spread it so other people don't make my same mistakes in reasoning about it :D

Pretty confident the skillup campaigns do NOT work on automatons, but I might be wrong hey.
Percolator on the other hand works quite nicely, especially if paired with Optic Fibers, I assume.

Just make a script where you use Water and Light Maneuvers every ~4 minutes and then go afk, when you come back you'll probably be very close to cap if not capped.

Does Mog Garden-obtained gear have any effect at all or pure lockstyle? Can any of it be stored by npcs (slips don't seem to work)?

I'm referring to:

No hidden effects, it's just lockstyle. You can mule them though.

Right, i found the problem. at least for me. It was the XBOX ONE controller. The moment i switched to a cheap controller, both Switchmon and the script worked flawlessly. If anyone gets this working with the XBOX ONE controller and or ELITE controller, do let me know otherwise if you encounter this issue? change controllers....

Hope this helps someone and I'm using Windows 10 official drivers for the elite controller.

Question, it may be something really simple but im struggling to find the code.

How would i bind these to macros:

send_command('bind f9 gs c toggle TP set')
send_command('bind f10 gs c toggle CDC set')
send_command('bind ^f8 input /ws "Sanguine Blade" <t>')
send_command('bind !f9 gs c changemaccmab')
send_command('bind !f10 gs c toggle Expi set')
send_command('bind !f11 gs c toggle Rea set')
send_command('bind !f12 gs c lockgearindex')

Is there an easy way to macro these? I play on a game controller so these binds are not useable for me.

can someone give me the script needed to trigger them as a macro within FFXI?

Thanks!

You can put them into the native FFXI macro system. I believe you'd input:
//gs toggle 'TP set'
//gs toggle 'CDC set'
/ws "Sanguine Blade" <t>
//gs 'changemaccmab'
//gs toggle 'Expi set'
//gs toggle mRea set'
//gs lockgearindex (**not positive about this one. Not sure what it does)

Try those. It's been a while since I've done this, but it is possible.

You can't use // in macros- it'd be /console gs etc.

Few years back they changed crafting skillup so that below skill level 70 you get a skillup on nearly every craft below the item cap and still very often if crafting above the item natural cap (you can now get skillup for 11 total levels above that now). Unfortunately this skill-up rate gets back to old-days standard once you hit 70 with something like a <25% skillup rate

Here's some reference: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Craft#Skilling_up

Why not both earrings? You got two ears! (Though Ishvara would give the larger impact.)

And the only reason to use Fotia in "single hit" WSs is to have a 2% chance at an immediate second WS.
Which personally, I like. But I freely admit that the fTP increase is smaller of a boost than a large +stat in those slots.
But it's not like the difference between 10k and 30k (200% difference), more the difference between 32k and 33k (3% difference).
