He does have a point, though. You can't really say that a piece of gear is irrelevant because you can cheat and not need it. "you don't need movement speed gear to kite, just use clipper", etc.

You CAN, and (we) are. After seeing what square did about salvage billions, if you don't cheat now... well... You can have your moral high ground etc.

Who kites anything anyway? When's the last time kiting something was a viable strategy? The only thing moving fast does is let you get to your objective 10 seconds faster.

Can't lie though, it is fun to turn it up fast enough to outrun TP moves.

So, you're saying that because there are no consequences or few that recommending third party tools is a valid alternative to actually playing the game?

Nobody kites anything unless they are soloing, that wasn't the point. The point is that game mechanics are the basis for the game, if you're circumventing them, you aren't playing the game. If that's the way you choose to play, who cares, but saying that movement gear is useless because you can just flee hack is stupid.

It's not about moral highground, I could care less what you or others do, and I don't play 100% legit, either. Just stop pretending that 3rd party tools are valid advice for every decision that others make.

The party thing SEEMS to be alleviated by not having an alliance.

If you're in an alli, it *** up constantly, but if you completely break alli, and party, then invite 5 people it works pretty well.

We were joking about it all night, lol'd quite a bit, it takes actual talent at Square to *** something up that bad, I must say I was impressed.

Anyone else having really bad party issues? We can get 4, maybe 5 people in a party and then the 6th either just can't be invited, or they magically go into their own alliance. Shutting down and rebooting seems to avoid the alliance thing... but then we can still only make a max PT of 5.

Yup, happened to us. We would invite someone and they would get put into a third party, by themselves, with no Yellow Dot to indicate them being a party leader

Please Chuyula gtfo with your lies, 99% of the N/A pc players do use windower and third party tools in some ways. Unless you're an xbox user.. There's no need to pretend to be a a legit virginal pc player, idk why people bring the "cheat subject" like a good thing in order to shame people. That doesn't work

Worth noting that this is a particularly bad strategy for a tank if you're using a tank+RNG strategy, since the RNGs need to line up behind the tank for Decoy Shot.
I didn't talk about any strategy, just responded to the question 'how do you avoid knockback'.

And you weren't wrong. But I thought it was worth elaborating on when the (perfectly true) method you mentioned is not a very good tanking solution in the very common tank+RNG setup, since the whole discussion is in the context of a ring that's obviously of interest to tanks.

And again, Vocane Ring still sucks.

Think it just decreased pop time and KI cost.

EDIT: Nevermind. "Special rewards will be added on top of the existing ones." http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/detail/13261/detail.html

I got a Faithful Legs IV and Airlixir +1(2 chars) from Shark WKR just now. So I'm guessing it's kind of like the Adoulin box.

You can get Delve boss materials from their respective WKRs. If you're looking for HMPs, do Meeble Burrows since right now you can go an unlimited amount of times and the worms can be exchanged for a lot of decent stuff.

Has anyone found the NM pop area in Woh Gates? I spent about an hour combing the zone but didn't find anything. Someone mentioned Hippogryphs, but I didnt see anything.
Go to Marjami station #3 and head towards F-11 (gotta climb up a vine to get to this spot). There's a ??? that you can use if you've killed Hurkan at least once ever, and that'll take you to a new section of Woh Gates, where it's all VT-IT crap, including some Hippogryphs. If you're lucky, they can drop a rare/ex feather which is the pop item for the NM, which the ??? to spawn is supposed to be in the SW corner of this map. Been messing around here solo, haven't seen the rare/ex feather drop, so I can't say anything about the NM, though my logic is that he probably drops the new Highwing Helm.

speaking of WKR, have you always been able to outside party cure 20+ people with a single curaga if you target it onto one of your trusts?
I engaged, swung at bee once so trust would stay put next to the naakaul, then backed off and just curaga bombed the trust to heal *everyone*
That's some serious mp efficiency.

Everything but Icelion and Tree dies super fast now, always getting 5-6 drops, 2 of which are usually HP Bayld. Got a rockfin tooth from Tchakka (5 wkr runs total).

Anyone remember exactly where the crystal structure in Marjami Ravine is? I heard H-11, but I searched all over that square and didn't see it. Did I miss something subtle?
