August Version Update Dat Mining And Discussion

Leaforb Repair potancy +1

been seeing alot mab +10 and + on NQ stones

Auto RR is the best part of Adoulin's Refuge, the 8 DT doesn't change much.

Don't die in reives and you won't need it! Know your place, you don't have to fight the boss if you can't keep yourself alive on it. Just fight adds. Ygnas's Resolve +1 FTW!

IDK, fighting the boss then running away to where the mages are for a bit seems like the best way to help. I mean you can go in again and do more damage and the worse that can happen is the tank dies and it follows you to the mages and weakened people.

if you have auto reraise, you dont have to worry about it.

I cannot explain how happy this makes me. I've never enjoyed the whole gearswap system. I still use the old school macro system, so this update has completely changed my play experience.

Along with the warp ring...

So, you'd rather have it chase you over to the mages, MPK them with AoE, than die and RR over and over. That's much more helpful.

You're THAT GUY that people curse under there breath to move the *** mob away from the crowd...

I think i earned 10 levels after this update.

Me thinks you misinterpreted his sarcasm. He pretty much said "dying w/ RR better than MPK'ing mages."

On the subject of gear sets vs gearswap, I'm esctatic. Im running FFXI on some Vista garbage (while I build my new PC) and current Windower versions seem to cause POL or FFXI to crash too much to be feasibly used. I've been suffering /equip macros and the new system makes everything super nice.

saw someone say "the new macro system is too complicated for me" a bit ago. lol. is this even remotely complicated for anyone? there is no excuse for not changing gear at this point given how easy it really is. lol no one needs to say anything because its a success lol

It took me a few minutes to figure it out once I did it was like eating pie. It was the best. Those who say it's hard are probably the same ones who don't change gear from WS TP so on. I'm on xbox btw.

thats good to hear lol

The people who mpk the whole group like that arent sophisticated enough to use this site, except for a few non-gear changers.

A good tip is that if you see the name Sieha then assume sarcasm.

The only problem I've had so far with the equip sets is that there aren't enough slots. With only 20 available sets, you can really only make sets for 3 or 4 jobs, depending on what job and what sets you consider worth making. It's much more convenient than using individual /equip commands, but it's be really nice to have 100 or so instead of 20.


Also, Skirmish:
Did a few short runs yesterday, Rala version. Saw Uragnite twice, it dropped Axe both times. Other NM's and drops we encountered were Gallu (H2H), Gallu (Dagger), Dvergar (Sword), Corse (Great Sword). We got another Dagger, but I forgot what it dropped from.

I augmented my Dagger with a few stones:
-Snowslit: def +3
-Snowtip: ranged atk +3 ranged acc +3 (iirc)
-Leafslit: Magic damage taken -1%
-Leafdim: Magic burst damage +1%
-Snowslit +1: Atk +4 Acc +4

I'm still playing 'catch up' since I returned to FFXI a month ago, and even with the limited gear I have, I've used half my equip sets already for sammy. Lol...

At least it was mentioned in official dev posts they plan on adding more set slots, but 20 is pretty small, especially in light of the number of jobs available. I would have preferred each macro book slot have its own allotment of equip set slots, even if each was only 20 or even as low as 10 per.
