Eight-Six posted:I massacred the poo poo out of 1/1/1 Rala, got a Lehbrailg on the first run, and upgraded it with a translurry I had lying around. Still up for doing Yorcia runs to fill in some holes in my Skirmish armor sets, namely Cizin gear. I feel like I'm missing something. The only Skirmish I've done is Yorcia Weald, and it seemed like you'd need 2 players minimum, one to hunt nests/noetics, and one to defend while the first was roaming. How exactly are you managing to solo Skirmish?

A BLM, RDM, SCH or GEO with Moogle/Sakura trusts and solid 115-119 gear should have no trouble soloing Yorcia I/II.

I have a blm and those two trusts, but I do not have a solid 115-119 gear. I also have no gearswap/spellcast for blm, just normal macros with occasional equips. If someone joins me, I should be able to duo/trio most of the Yorica tiers. If someone does noetics and goatse dens, I might be able to solo it. I would have my healbot with me.

Anyone know why my battle text over mobs heads doesn't show up? I have the windower plugin for battle text, could that be causing it?

Holyshoot posted:Anyone know why my battle text over mobs heads doesn't show up? I have the windower plugin for battle text, could that be causing it? There is an option to turn that on or off, or have both text and visual graphic. It is in the menu somewhere. If you turn it on, restart your windower client. If the over mob's head the damage they just took does not appear, then it is probably because the battle text plugin overwrites that. No worries, I bet you can either turn off battle text or you can edit what battle text does. Make it so it allows damage take over mobs' head. To learn more about the battle text plugin, go to their windower forum page. Or just google it. Do not look at google image search, Battle Text is one sexy rule 34.

I am planning on doing some Yorica Weald Skirmish with my main and alt. I was planning on doing a bunch about three or four T1 runs, and three, maybe more, t2 runs. If anyone is interested in joining me, I should be on around 10:30pm-11pm edt. If the AH has enough parts, I will be doing this.

Some people run around with a constant 30% boost, and some use it to Benny hill kite bcnm. The only thing you really need to watch for is popping the zone timer between zone lines. I.e. don't run from one zone line to the next (especially in old zones) at like 900%

To any goons who still have HPBayld, I'm changing up how I'm buying it. The more you sell, the more you get: Sell 1-49: 15000/HPB 50-99: 20000/HPB 100-499: 25000/HPB 500+: 30000/HPB Currently at ~1600/13099, so any help is appreciated.

So they just remembered that Ninja was still a job in this game then? I still can't wrap my head around how there being no wildskeeper or delve katanas was just something that happened for over a year.

Anybody have any advice on a leveling path that isn't "as soon as you can, go leech XP in Abyssea until you hit 99"? I hadn't touched the game in about a year-and-a-half, and even when I was playing it I never really got past Garlaige Citadel/Crawler's Nest in terms of the old group leveling zones and the basic campaign areas in terms of solo leveling, so I'm more interested in seeing the zones I never really went to than I am hoping there's enough people still wanting to stand around and grind millions of XP in one zone as a giant alliance. I went from 26-50 really quickly (by my standards) on my THF just futzing around with RoE and FoV/GoV in the zones I knew about (Delkfutt's Tower, Sea Serpeant Grotto, etc.) while doing other things, but I'm reaching a point of not knowing from past experience where to go next (I need to go to Xarcabard for the telepoint RoE quest, so I know I can get some decent XP there, but, after that...).

Grab trusts and start grinding solo. You'll want to at least start the process of abyssea so you can get some cruor and start tagging maws to teleport to when you see them. Touch every homepoint you see to unlock HP teleporting, as well. This chart isn't terribly inaccurate, adjust for gov/fov books and make sure you're keeping up with skills and gear if you're doing classic leveling. Sparks are a great way to get updated weapons through 50.

Hit up both ffxiclopedia and bgwiki for areas and level ranges. You should also make solid effort to unlock any and all trusts you can, especially the utility ones.

Oh, yeah, the first thing I did was grab all the trusts from the main cities and a couple of the bonus ones. It's definitely made the process a lot easier (and accounted for the faster-than-my-standards leveling speed). I've admittedly only talked to Joachim and nothing more on the Abyssea front. I haven't even really messed around with maws beyond their old WoG function.

Or do I just have to hope that there's enough people on my server doing it to make it worthwhile?

They don't work in abyssea you just hope theres enough of an alliance to do it. If your server isn't horrible low pop (under 500) you should be good finding a bird/worm party.

On the subject of Sparks, I'm starting to creep up toward the cap (was at about 35K last time I checked). I'm assuming it would behoove me to go ahead and grab my Level 99 gear now and just sit on it until I get there, but would it be worth it to start blowing Sparks on the skill-up tomes? I'm doing okay with getting primary weapon skill up, but my defensive skills are falling behind since I'm using a tanking Alter Ego, as are any alternate weapon types I may end up wanting to use later on. [EDIT] That being said, I just now noticed there are Level 99 rings and earrings to buy, as well, so I guess I don't have to worry about having excess Sparks any time soon...

What job are you soloing with? If it is a mage job, don't bother. If you are a monk, buying a few guard skillup books, would not go to waste. Evasion and Parry level up quickly, you can skip those.

I've been using Swords just because my Daggers were already capped from my old main (DNC). My Evasion is also capped from the same, and, yeah, I've been getting decent Parry skill-ups from whenever I've been targetted, although I don't think I'm near cap on that. My Throwing is crap, but, then again, I'm using a crappy throwing weapon for the stat bonus and all I'm doing is pulling with it anyways, so I guess I don't need to worry about that.

Do not worry about capping your throwing skill. It has no real use other than pulling. For now just focus on capping dagger and evasion. What level did you get your dnc to? With the curent login event, you can buy items for the very last limit break. Items that would normally take you hours to farm. Those items are fossilized fang, fossilized bone and seasoning stone. Look up the requirements for that limit break before getting them.
