Does anyone know the lore on why Salvage area Arrapago Remnants can only be entered once per real life day, but the other 3 areas can be spammed? I always get confused when I do mythic trials if I'm going to forced to wait a couple days to complete
"Congestion"

Due to the fact that Arrapago zones are extremely popular and cause server load, countermeasures were implemented to reduce congestion. We think it'll be difficult to remove this restriction at this time; however, we'll observe the instance server situation while looking into this. In the mean time we would like players to try out the other Salvage zones while Arrapago's restrictions are still in place.

Heres a more useful answer:
Arrapago II was the RMT hotspot as well as the hotspot of people cheating to farm alexandrite. There was a way to go back to 5f and repeatedly farm the Gears that pop from the Ramparts that are guaranteed one alex. This only worked in Arrapago (or atleast was the only area worth doing it in), and instead of SE fixing the problem at the root cause, they issued a one day lockout (or maybe they also fixed the problem, I'm not risking it to find out). Theres no reason for this lockout to still exist in 2024, nor has there been any reason for said lockout since the implementation of Ambuscade.
For whatver reason, I dont believe this exploit worked on the last boss that was guaranteed a Linen.

Elementals in sheol c? Are you thinking of sortie c basement?
I was, misread that.
Are there any grips more powerful for physical WS than Utu Grip?
What even is 2nd place?
Bloodrain/Nepenthe+1 or a Duplus, yeah, 10+ year old still the only other options.
Rigorous+1 with augs is actually reasonable as a second place. 19 STR 45 attack

How come Harvesting Nodes suck so much donkey butt? They keep disappearing on me completely the second I hop off my mount to start harvesting.

They don't do this. Harvesting, Mining, Logging points all disappear when you use them (% chance, usually after 2-3 items in my experience). They will never disappear unless someone interacts with them.

toggle wire frame to check if some bot is harvesting the point right under your butt.
Is there a way to tell if the Voidwalker NMs are going to give the title or not when you spawn them?
Also, does Yilbegan pull the same ***?

Yilbegan is the same. Except its shadow rate seems to be a lot lower anecdotally. While t3s seem like about 50% or thereabout, I've only encountered maybe 1-2 shadowed Yilbegan ever.

Adoulin ones definitely move on their own.
Seconding this. I know they added special code to the ones in Morimar so that they would move around occasionally. This was to make the marble nugget easier; having it spawn behind a reive when it is necessary to fight reives was a problem. Might extend to other systems, too.

Trust job types affects COR rolls right?
So if you were to summon specific trusts and buff with the roll, then get rid of said trust, you could technically always get the job bonuses right?

Yes
Been discussed before calling Lhu for Beast roll or Zeid for chaos roll then releasing them

How is geomancy nerf potency determined? I see mentions in various content about geomancy nerfs being -50%, -75%, -90%, etc.
How are people coming up with these numbers? Are there particular spells that're used to test how bad its nerfed?

Is there a way to tell gs demomode that a certain buff is active even if it's not?
Would be handy for testing abilities with longer cooldowns, in particular 1hours.

Wtf, now YOU are using third party tools?
The white knight Shishishito now finally dirtied himself, and is not pure anymore?

Maybe should have asked in the gearswap support thread instead?
Has the Jubilee Shirt ever come back since the Jingle Baas event in 2016? Did they run that event again or put it on one of the random event moogles? Or is that Mog Kupon AW-Cos only at this point?
Genuinely don't know if there's a page on the bg wiki I should be referencing for this info, so if anyone wants to point me there I'll take that too :P

Seems to be the case. Kupon only. The wiki just might not have any other instances though.

Yeah, I knew what the wiki says (and ffxiclopedia agrees) but I didn't know if it was on one of those periodic "here's old event gear!" moogles or something.
