I wish I could use Windower. It does NOT get along with my system.

Looking for some skill up location suggestions. I am currently around 158 on marksmanship for Cor, maxed out at 99.

I have the skill + head, body, hands, legs, feet, and I have a some ranged acc rings. Suggestions?

I did 1-398 in like 4 hours. Just eat some Montagna and do Hunter's roll and go to Abyssea. You wanted the lowest damage gun and bullets you can get and put on any regen atma you have (there are free ones next to Horst in Port Jeuno) and make a macro that is "/ra <wait 8>" repeated 6 times (change the 8 if it's shooting too fast or too slow based on your gun.

I think i went to Abyssea Altepa and did the ladybugs around your level, then moved to the Manticores until about 350. At that point I just went to Cirdas caverns with my trusts and did quickdraws and weapon skills to cap.

I have Windows 10 and have zero problems with Windower. Try that first.

There are a couple workarounds for some of the DX8 problems that messes with Win10. Ashita is the other application with similar functionality to Windower

I came back and have been getting a few jobs to 99 while also doing story missions from the various expansions. I'm up to SoA and stuck in the silly waits to get enough imprimpturs, so I thought I'd focus on gearing up a little. I have all the 117 ROE gear. What's a good thing to start focusing on? I'd prefer sticking to stuff I can solo. I have been working on the JSE cape. Anything else?

What Job(s) do you have?

I've been able to solo my 119 Artifact and Relic armor (spending money to buy certain items of course). Also getting Wildskeeper weapons and gear has been super easy during this event. And most of skirmishes should be doable with trusts. The intermediate RoV awards will get you set up with a lot of kupons to get solid items.

You can also try to do VE ambuscades to start getting hallmarks and getting some gear. With proper trust choosing they can do most of the work.

I've now gotten stuck on Vagary for my 119 Empyrean armor, only having beaten the feet boss with a shout alliance.

WKR gear is 115 and depends and the augments you can/do get on it and varies greatly by job (like a MAB augmented Atoyac dagger is near best in slot for corsair).

I would say focus on getting through the RoV intermediate quests to jumpstart 119 gear. Reforged Relic gear can be a pain to acquire without thief due to the sheer number of drops and/or currency needed so at least use a treasure hunter trust for that part.

What's the current strategy for this month's ambuscade? I know it's vermin/undead.

V2 is that each of the pops gets more difficult as you go. General strategy seems to be Right, Center, Left. Ends up being Chapuli, beetle, wamoura. The chapuli gets too evasive if you do it last and the beetle gets too defensive if you do it last. The wanoura has a TP love that heals itself but you can power through.

Is there a good way to recap story stuff, and a recommended order to tackle it altogether? I’m trying to get to 99 to go through everything, but ended up doing some RoV and Nation stuff along the way, up to Shadow Lord on both. I wasn’t really paying attention at first and think RoV probably had less impact since I hadn’t met any of the characters yet. But now I’m closing in on 99 and want to catch up and do the rest of things in a way that makes sense.

If you mean find out what happened in things you already did. You can just watch Korvana's youtube channel where they uploaded all of the cutscenes.

Otherwise, yeah. Just go in order of release. RotZ, CoP, ToaU, WotG, finish RoV. Then you can do the miscellaneous smaller stories including the 3 mini-expansions as well as the Abyssea and Voidwatch "stories"

The Neo Nyzul campaigns are actually rather helpful for Mythic stuff. Just soloing to floor 40 I would get about 1000 tokens but more importantly the "??? Box +2 " that would drop from the 20 and 40 bosses is usually either a cotton coin purse, linen coin purse, or a T3 or T4 ZNM pop item. During the last campaign I was able to snag all 3 ZNM items needed as well as a bunch of the T3 KIs. Plus a few hundred k gil in random sellables from each run.

I only lost one run because floor 39 was an order floor and then on floor 40 my weaponskills were locked.

There is a windower addon, setbgm, which allows you to manually choose what music is playing. That's the best you can do

Everything in Abyssea is really easy at 119. The only thing that can get you is special moves.

Rani is soloable as long as you never take hate from your trust tank since it cannot be charmed. However, you will also have to do all the damage because trusts will just keep healing. Blue proc will be annoying if you are going for the ring.

I've never had a problem with windower outside of a few cutscenes which are well known to make the client hang.

If I were to start multiboxing again I would probably make the switch to Ashita.

That's error suggests that the installation is messed up or the registry is getting messed up with something ashita is trying to do with the client

Depending on what I am doing, it can be annoying maneuvering a DD character. That said, my 3rd is both a WAR and WHM since WAR can just Reso spam for good DPS. I might PL up his COR just so I can toss rolls when I can't 3box DD effectively but Yoran can still do the job.

Sadly Cornelia is no longer an option since she was always slot #1. Probably now would be Koru + Ulmia + Joachim. That should cap Magic Haste which is a big DPS improvement for PLD. Disclaimer: I do have Burtgang so that's already a big DPS increase.

The problem with Qultada is he will just use his attack roll and then refresh roll, both of which are kind of lovely. All the DD trust really fall off at higher levels, doubtful this level cap increase to trusts will really change that.
