>>8640920

during peak times 15-20 players, frequently just 1 or 2 during early morning USA time; right now 3 players including me

come play, we definitely want more players!

>>8640912

I know Kat is convinced you need a book in order to level but Blackman, Uza, and I were getting 200k+ xp/hour at mamool ja staging point.

>>8641260

yah I have never liked lvling with books honestly I only like the books for their buffs

>>8637417

is the character creator decent?

I hope it has beards

>>8641571

this game is from 2002, and it ran on the playstation 2, so it's very basic. you pick your race, and then you have your choice of 8 different face/hair combinations, each of which comes in 2 colors. then you pick small/medium/large character size, and that's all.

there ARE bearded males, for the hume and elvaan races.

>>8641757

Wait were you always a Mithra, for some reason I thought you were a tarutaru

>>8640931

What is the IP for the server?

>>8641879

23.109.35.216

i wish Góndola was a playable race in some kind of mmo

>>8641869

was always a mithra, I wanted to be an Elvaan but butts won't change it ; ^ ;

>>8641970

>>8641937

speaking of butts, btw, the last restart broke the Grounds Tomes for some reason

>>8642481

>>8642481

Test plz, looking at logs.

Followed the steps and tried to log onto the server, but xiiserver stopped working every time I tried. When I tried to use pol.exe it just gave a blank window. I'll just uninstall and do a clean install and try again from the top.

>>8637417

I'll join you, but only if there's cute boys

Was thinking about joining this, but a bit iffy cause I don't tend to stick to MMOs for too long and it's a tiny group of players.

GAME

>>8646663

Ominous Boneitus is an NM dude.

What sick drops did you get

So Blu is working? I might have to try playing. Are they working on Pup?

>>8646663

>Wearing the Magus Jubbah

>Even though the BLU AF quests don't work

GM ABUSE

>>8646898

I can only find radio silence on PUP. It seems like nobody wants to bother trying to get it working.

COR mostly works though. Only their 2h and Random Deal don't work but that's not too painful to live without.

>>8646925

>>8646898

apparently, kjLotus played PUP on retail and is particular about it being implemented properly, so that's why development on it has been slow, but I think it is being worked on

>>8646925

>>8646940

Lotus has a hardon for retail, though I can't blame him, DSP is a passion project after all, and you may as well do it right.

BUT FUCK WHOEVER KEEPS ADDING NEW FUNCTIONS IN THE CORE CODE.

FUCK YOU

>>8646940

Yeah I played Pup in retail myself. I was pretty much the go-to person in guild for Pup questions

>>8647056

I don't know, but they're probably going to finish off COR and PLD and actually implement PUP before they start on the new classes.

>>8647056

very unlikely because GEO is tightly tied to the new area, Adoulin; implementing it would require implementing that area, which is a lot more work

>>8646925

>>8647080

Well that's nice to hear, I was going to do Corsair with my Thief class right now

Does the Rune Fencer work or no?

>>8647159

the /jobemote works!

no, the job doesn't ; ^ ;

>>8646663

>Using the BLU AF when it can't be obtained in game

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

On the other hand I still have to figure out if relics are obtainable or not at 75.

G M A B U S E

>>8637417

Is there a tutorial for people who have never played FF XI?

>>8652306

not really; at least, not built into the game. I wrote up some pretty good tutorial info in the last thread but I think it's lost to the ages now

>>8652306

I'll write up a crash course starter guide/tutorial thing, give me an hour or two

>>8652306

Here's what I can remember

Race Kind of matters. Basically you can play whatever, but if you want to min max really hard, you need to pick stats that match your class.

So don't be a sembo and go Elvaan BLM if you want to min-max. If you want to just have fun none of that shit really matters too much and just have fun.

NPCs don't automatically take quest items from you, you have to manually trade them.

Crafting you legit need a wiki to find the recipes for (there was a function in game, but it doesn't work and it's really minor)

anything else…. oh right you need to buy spells as a mage.

The "field tomes" or whatever greatly speed up grinding.

There's an explorer moogle near your town's main residential area that'll teleport you to most other cities.

Make sure to grab homepoints so you can teleport to them.

Crafting is a bit of a mess, but also how you'll get a majority of your gear.

Food is really important

Fishing doesn't work

>>8652598

So I can't become a Lvl 100 fisherman who cooks for the rest of the party?

>>8652903

cooking and fishing are two separate skills

>>8652940

So I can become a high leveled chef that buys fish?

>>8653091

yes

>>8652903

No, but to max some crafting you need to be other crafting professions as well.

Smithing is really bad with… I think like 5 other professions being required to level it up

>>8652306

>>8652545

SO YOU WANT TO PLAY FFXI

This guide doesn't cover getting the client set up and all that. If you need help with that, refer to the OP. I strongly advise you take the time to set up the game using the official configuration utility (in your start menu) and also set up Windower as it will make your life easier. Having another monitor to open the wiki on (or a tablet or smartphone) will also make a huge improvement in your quality of life. It's basically a requirement, actually.

Once you have everything set up, login and hit Create Character. The character creation process is just like retail; pick a race, gender (if applicable), starting class, and starting city.

*Starting city should optimally be the one your race is from (Bastok for Humes and Galka, San d'Oria for Elvaan, and Windurst for onions and cats) because you get a pretty damn good ring, but ultimately it's not critical especially with the 10x EXP rates here. You can always change your allegiance later.

* Starting job (job = class) is literally irrelevant. You can change jobs at any time in your moghouse.

* Gender is irrelevant; as far as race goes, as the other poster said (>>8652598) it does make a difference but ultimately it's not that big a deal. Here's the rundown:

– Humes are all-rounders in general but are better at black magic than white.

– Galka have immense HP and VIT, terrible MND and MP. Good at melee jobs, mediocre at magic jobs.

– Elvaan have the highest STR and MND, good HP, poor MP (better than Galka tho), and awful DEX and INT. Bad at thief and black mage, good at paladin, monk, and white mage.

– Tarutaru have the highest MP and INT, but poor MND and terrible VIT and HP. Very squishy, but they make amazing black mages and summoners. Generally the best at magic classes, but they have good DEX and AGI and make good thieves and rangers and such also.

– Mithra have ludicrously high DEX and AGI, but awful VIT and only mediocre STR/INT/MND. Average HP/MP (same as Humes). They are decent in anything but tank jobs (unless you do evasion tanking.)

Galka and Mithra have bad CHR and so are sort of bad at Beastmaster/Bard/Dancer compared to other races but again keep in mind that the differences, while relevant, aren't critical.

Whatever you pick, keep in mind that you can always change your job back and forth to whatever you want whenever you want, so if you make a Galka WHM then decide you can't deal with the tiny MP pool anymore you can change to Samurai or whatever and be min/max-y.

>>8653585

ONCE YOU'RE IN-GAME

After you login you will be unceremoniously dropped into your chosen home city with little direction. There was SUPPOSED to be a story cutscene which would then point you to a tutorial NPC but I don't think DSP does that. (I didn't get one anyway.)

You should take some time to explore the "Config" option on the backside of the main menu. (Default is Numpad - to open menu, hit it again to flip around to the backside of it.) There's a lot of really important shit buried in obscure-sounding pages like "Misc. 2", like aspect ratio configuration, chat language filter, and more.

One thing of particular note is the controls configuration which is easily missed under "Misc. 2" in the Config Menu, labeled as "Keyboard Size". Compact 2 lets you configure it, Compact 1 was (I believe?) the default on the PC release, and "Full" was the layout on the PS2, where I used to play. I only know the "Full" layout controls, which are more or less all on the numpad, so unfortunately I can't talk about the controls for other layouts. However, the default here is Compact 2 which is pretty configurable and more similar to other MMORPGs.

Once you've spent some time familiarizing yourself with the controls, get used to the concept of the game's Main Menu and Submenu. The Main Menu has two pages and is summoned with the Numpad - key by default. The Main Menu is where you'll manage your character and includes basically all of the game functions.

The Submenu comes up when you select a target and press enter. (Select targets with Tab and Shift+Tab.) The Submenu is all actions, and what actions are available depends on what you have selected. Until you get a feel for the game and start making macros – a critical part of playing the game at higher levels – this is where you will take most of your actions. Critical on this menu – and easily missed – is the "check" option, which allows you to examine the equipment of other players or to "check" a monster to see how difficult it is. That'll be important in the next section.

>>8654022

GETTING YOURSELF KILLED

So, use your map to find your bearings and then head out of town. In San d'Oria this means heading out into Ronfaure, in Bastok this means heading out in to Gustaberg, and in Windurst this means traipsing out to Sarutabaruta. Whereever you are, when you step out the door, immediately in the next area will be a bunch of monsters. DON'T attack them yet.

Look around your immediate area and there should be a Field Manual nearby. (If you can't find it, open your Map and select Wide Scan.) Click on the Field Manual and select Individual training – for your first time, the first page should be good. The game's chat window will tell you what to hunt.

Once you've selected a training regime, make sure you're ready to fight.

* First, make sure you have your weapon equipped! Warriors will have started with an Onion Sword, Thieves start with an Onion Knife, Monks start with a White Belt (and no weapon, but it's fine, you don't need one yet.)

* Mages will start with a spell scroll and a junk weapon. Equip the weapon, but make sure you use the scroll too. White Mages start with Cure, Black Mages start with Stone, and Red Mages start with Dia. If you want to really be on the ball, you can check the wiki page for your job and then go to the magic shop in your town and buy the scrolls for your first ten levels or so.

After that, it's time to kill shit! Find a likely target – preferably one from your training regime – and select it with tab, then "Check" it. As long as it doesn't say "Very Tough" or worse, "Incredibly Tough", you will probably be okay. Hit "Attack" and move into range and you'll begin auto-attacking. And now … we wait! Super exciting, huh?

Once you defeat the monster you'll earn experience, possibly some items, and because this is a private server, a ridiculous amount of gil. Normally, in FFXI (like, say, on the retail servers), even the first few levels would take a dozen or so kills, but here, with the EXP rate at 10x, you will probably level up every kill until level 6 or 7. Once you've completed a training regimen, you will have earned some "tabs" which you can spend to buy 'field support' (buffs) at the Field Manual.

One thing I want to note at this point because it's REALLY IMPORTANT is that while your level is very important, it isn't the only factor in your success in combat. As you were fighting, you probably noticed messages about your skills going up – Sword/Club/Dagger/Staff/Hand-to-Hand skill, Elemental Magic, Enfeebling Magic, or at least Evasion. These skills are ultimately what determine your character's abilities; even if you are at the level cap (Lv75, on this server), if you have a poor skill, you will be unable to hit with weapons or land spells with magic, and when you do connect you will be ineffective.

Unfortunately, with the EXP rate at 10x, your skills are going to fall behind to some degree, particularly early on. This is just unavoidable, so don't panic; you can always raise them later. Just be mindful of those ratings in situations like when you equip a new weapon type (say, equipping a Sword on Thief when you've been using daggers); you have no skill, so even though you're level 40, a level 40 enemy is going to soundly thrash you.

If you get torn up in a fight or run out of MP, you can heal (by pressing Numpad * or typing /heal in the chatbox); it takes 20 seconds for healing to begin and then you will regain some HP and MP every 10 seconds. You can get 60-minute Regen and Refresh buffs from the Field Manual by spending your tabs that you earn by completing the "pages", or training regimens.

>>8654231

I GOT SOME LEVELS, NOW WHAT?

So you're probably like level 10-15 by now on the job you selected in character creation still running around with your shitty Onion Sword in your Mithran Gaiters or whatever in the newbie zone. Run on back to town.

NORMALLY, in Final Fantasy XI, one of the big rites of passage as a new player is unlocking the ability to equip a Support Job (commonly called "sub-job", "sub", or "SJ"). This is the ability to equip a second job alongside your primary job, and you normally can't do the quest to unlock it until you are level 18.

HOWEVER, here on Comfinity, we have support jobs unlocked from level 1! (I probably could have told you this sooner but I felt it was important you get at least the semi-authentic noob experience, hehe.) Head to your mog house in the Residential Area. Your map will show the way.

When you get there, your Moogle will offer some tutorial information about the Mog House if it's your first time coming in. Read it or skip it as you like, but know that Gardening doesn't really work here on the private server, at least as far as any of us have tried.

Select "Change Job" and you can change your main job, or set a support job, but everything besides the job you started on will be level 1, so setting a level 1 support job isn't very useful. My advice is to set the job you've just leveled to Support, and then something new as your main job. A few tips:

* Check the wiki page for your new job to see what weapons they are skilled with. Each job has a few weapons that they are most proficient with, and you'll want to be using those to ensure the maximum accuracy and damage output.

* For mage jobs, make sure you stay at least semi-current on your spells. The magic shops will sell most of what you need from levels 1-30 or so.

By the way, the next time you head out of town, stop on your way out at a conquest guard and get Signet. (I should really have mentioned this sooner.) Conquest guards will have some identifying letters after their names: "T.K." for a San d'Orian Temple Knight, "W.W." for a Windurstian War Wizard, or "I.M." for a Bastokan Iron Musketeer. Select them and ask for Signet, which is a buff which has a number of effects:

* Increased chance for a monster which gives XP to award a Crystal on death. Crystals are used in Synthesis, or crafting.

* A portion of XP earned will also be gained as Conquest Points, a special currency you can spend with the gate guards to purchase powerful equipment.

* Grants a small defense and evasion buff versus enemies of Even Match and below, while you are engaged and autoattacking them.

* Signet also prevents you from losing TP while resting.

So yah, pretty important.

>>8655288

NOW I GOT LEVELS ON 2 JOBS, BUT WHY

Once you hit 25 or so you can start digging into the story missions. Talk to one of the gate guards NEXT TO your signet guard (not an I.M. or whatever, he'll just have a name, like "Argus") and they should offer you a mission.

FFXI offers "missions" and "quests" and these two things are not the same. Quests are available from almost any NPC, and their rewards are often unique to that quest, such as otherwise-unavailable spell scrolls or pieces of equipment. The most important reward from quests, however, is "fame", or more accurately, "Reputation". As you do quests, your reputation in that area will increase, making more quests available to you, and reducing the prices of items from NPC vendors.

The other type of tasks, "Missions", are story quests. There are several types:

– Nation missions, which are available from your nation of allegiance (Bastok, Windurst, San d'Oria). You can only take nation missions from your current allegiance, but you can emigrate to another nation and do their story as well.

– Expansion missions, which are story quests that follow the storyline of one of the game's expansions. So far in the private server the Expansion missions for Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia are implemented, along with some of Treasures of Aht Urhgan. As far as I know nothing from Seekers of Adoulin is implemented.

Get your story missions, run around town and get some quests, hook up with other players on the linkshell, explore the massive game world, maybe try your hand at crafting; ultimately what you do is what you want to do. There is no real "point"; FFXI is one of the last 'sandbox' MMORPGs. Take some time to read the wiki and figure out where to get the stuff you want, and above all else, have fun!

>>8655395

Great work anon, Someone should make this into an infograph for future threads

>>8655395

Should emphasize sand box, the game isn't going to force you to do anything. Which isn't the best for some people because they never get to "end game". Instead they waste alot of time doing trivial things that never have any impact at 75.

It's a shame since the amount of people it looks like you guys have could make for some fun HNM fights.

Game just isn't the same without a real economy and hundreds of people.

Once March 31st has gone, I'll probably start playing here a lot more. For right now though, I need to get all the cheevos I can before they go extinct.

Damn you, Gold Ballistar.

>>8665681

>cheevos

remove xbox kiddies plz

Where was the custom shop for Antican Tags? I need me some adamant ores

What's the easiest way to get crystals? Also the action house has no items. Is it normal?I'm going to get a chocobo license now.

>>8674785

Get Signet cast on you and go around beating stuff up while doing field training. That seems to net me crystals and exp over time.

I've been off the game for about a week, but the auction house should be stock full of crystals. if not, some one must have fucked up.

>>8671638

the Loli mithra left of the Ru'Lude gardens AH, below the stairs.

>>8674785

>What's the easiest way to get crystals?

go to the AH and buy a stack of clusters for 50 or 500k, a stack of clusters is 12 clusters, which is 12 crystals each, 144 in total.

if you mean from drops, get Signet from a gate guard.

>Also the action house has no items. Is it normal?

you can fix it by putting some in there :^).

the only items we have in the AH for granted are those that are exclusive to pieces of content that dont work, like fishing, or logging, the rest you have to get yourself.

Is the server down? Just when I realized the action house had items since I didn't wait for them to appear in the bast. Sadly coudn't find the ninja weapons I wanted since the zisos or whatever his name bought everything.

>>8675482

1. No, the server is not down.

2. You can tell if something is in stock because it will have a number in brackets like [2] next to the item, that means there are 2 on the AH

3. Zissou is not a player, that's just the name used when the AH server was created.

>>8674919

a cluster of 12 is 50k atm, which gives 144 crystals of that type in total.

Butts, you need to add fish to the AH

i dont get it

what is a drg and what is a durahan

>>8675929

Durahan was our only DRG (Dragoon job) but he disappeared mysteriously

RIP

i got kicked off the game and got a black screen with character selection music 3 times in the last hour.

usually it happens when i leave my house, but it can happen at any time, after i talk to an NPC, or to a Field Manual. what the fuck?

>>8677440

When you get that black screen, do you see your text box?

If so, the game isn't stuck. just hit space bar or enter, and a prompt will pop up asking if you want to reassign your homepoint or some other dialogue

>>8678027

no, no textbox, only thing i can do after that is kill xiloader

>>8676141

Truly there is a little durahan in all of us.

i bet that fag is reading these posts

>>8679218

>Truly there is a little durahan in all of us.

no wonder i've been jerking off to scalie porn all week

DLing now. Hope to see someone on the server.

>>8679910

9 people on right now.

also, about 2 hours ago i was the first person to discover that Limit Break quests now work above 5th for some magic reason (they didnt work before supposedly).

this means we all partied and are rushing to level ourselves up to 80, and then possibly 85, its F U N

Am I supposed to take the patch rollup from tehkrizz's site? Because whenever I try to download it, it fails when the download is supposed to finish.

>>8680135

>75+ server

Oh, that's unfortunate. I was thinking of setting this up for nostalgia.

>>8680388

You'd have to be a fucking retard to play on a 2005 server with only 20 people.

>>8680430

I read through the thread and it looks like a lot of the content doesn't work anyways.

From my experience the only time 6+ people where required was for dynamis wins and I dont think this server will live long enough to see its first relic.

The biggest issue was competing against other people. This server shouldn't have that problem. Thus you should be able to low man all content unhindered as long as you dont have any shitters playing.

>Time remaining in current progress: 7 and a half hours

Looks like I am gonna play tomorrow, I'll let it run the repair overnight.

>>8680583

we already did dynamis twice i think, i went only to one, i have relic stuff already, not full set but some…

>>8680795

sometimes its better to just let it work overnight.

>>8680829

Relic weapon. AF2 don't really count because gear is all situational. A lot of end game gear is from gods and other HNM.

It takes 18,000 single currency pieces to make 1 relic weapon. 100 piece drops could speed it up, but the time/effort required is still immense.

>>8680388

The 75+ was only recently discovered and most of it doesn't work. It's only good for combat skills and stats at this point since none of the job abilities work and most of the gear beyond is unobtainable.

Unrelated but do you think we will have Dragon Quest X private server anytime soon?

>>8637417

you bois got a mumble or something? or just in game chat?

>>8683924

So far just game chat. But if you're into that kind of thing, feel free to make one and suggest it to the other players. Could catch on.

>Wanted to try summoner

>No summons until god knows how long, and even then they are costly to keep up mana-wise

Aw

>>8685716

I'd imagine leveling up a black or white mage and then making that your support job while taking summoner as primary would increase your total MP for summons.

>>8685716

if its any consolation we have 2 summoners on the server with cap level, in fact one of them is still trying to find a Heatwave climate to get carbuncle

>>8685716

Summoner's actually pretty nice. I've played it and it's really easy to level with it, just slow since you need to get your mana back often. If you're partying with someone like a RDM it's easier since they can just cast refresh on you to make it easier on your mana, but the Avatar Perpetuation cost for some summons is still pretty high. Yagudo drinks also help early.

Later in the game though you're actually pretty strong and can keep your summons out for days, but you need a lot of good gear to be effective.

I want to play BLU and I play SMN as well. I'm a masochist who likes the two classes that require the most setup :^)

>>8685757

>>8685783

>>8685812

Thanks for the advice, does anyone know how linkshells work?

>>8686218

They're basically a way for people in groups to talk to one another. Type /l in chat and whatever you type will be seen by the other members. You just need to equip it.

>>8686218

>>8686253

you can also type "/cm l" to lock the chat to linkshell mode

or press CTRL+L

>>8686218

Oh, another thing. You get Carbuncle at level 1 if you do the summoner quest (and you should, it's a "bug" as in you should have carbuncle at level 1 summoner but you need to do the quest to get him which would usually get you carbuncle)

Most other Avatars (Titan, Garuda, Ifrit, Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva) you get at level 20. You can get them upwards of 60 by doing the 6-man fights with a party as well, but you can solo their level 20 versions if you read up on some guides and get them 'early'.

Shit's hard tho.

I saw new guy in Windurst, Pogopogo or something? Anyway send auxy a tell in-game (/t auxy message, and you can use Ctrl+R to reply to tells) and I will get you a pearl

>>8686536

Oh, that's me. I'll jump on again in a bit and do that.

>>8686325

to be fair, with the right job, it's easy to solo the 6-man fights at Lv75 (or higher, as we recently realized is possible.) Or even with the wrong jobs, you can duo them… given the 10x exp rate on this server, I'd say generally the best idea is to get something to Lv75+ and go do the 6-man fights as they're less restricted than the mini-avatar fights… and other people can help you, lol.

>>8689488

Fug, at least some of that could've gone on the AH or something

>>8689488

( ;∀;) blackman why

>>8689682

Can't speak for Blackman but 75+ is cancer and ruins the whole point of the game.

>>8690081

Oh, and my post here >>8689682

was about what this anon said: >>8689552

particularly the SH+1 and some of the other stuff

>>8689488

>quit MMO

>delete all your items instead of giving them to friends/random people

now that's just being an asshole.

>>8675795

Also, I'll add those items first thing in the morning, I'm nowhere near my equipment at the moment.

>>8693332

They appear to be people but most of them either don't stay long or log infrequently.

>>8693356

Let me know when we start hovering at below 12-13 players on the weekends.

I'll adjust some things to compensate if it becomes a problem. I'm gonna pass out for now.

We can all be united in our inability to play.

When will I hit 75? Who knows, I mean I did lb5 already so it's just the matter of grinding it out

I got on last night with Airage. Leveled up a bit then went to bed when I got lost trying to figure out how to get to Windurst (S).

I was looking into new gear and saw that really nice Cobra Coat set. I'd like to get it, but I'm not really sure how. Is it possible with whats on the server at the moment?

I'm still into the game (especially seeing how naturally I slid back into it after a week off), I just need a little direction on a few things.

and since Y time is about 3 months shorter than usual, I'm a bit rushed… aside from when I'm waiting for FUCKING PAPERWORK.

>>8704421

Unfortunately, to get the Cobra gear, you need Allied Notes, which you can only earn by participating in Campaign activities… which are not implemented yet. :(

>>8704499

come play! we need more players for sure.

so fenrir prime fight has about 2-3x as much hp as he should have and is much more dificult, IE 1k damage took only 4% hp from him.

ground tomes aren't working, server probably just needs a reset is all.

can any Windurstian citizen be a bro and log in for like 5 minutes?

we need a Scroll of Stoneskin for Anopsia and they're only sold when the nation you belong to is in first place, so right now only Windurst citizens can buy it.

pls

>>8713529

I didn't know that.

Who sells it? I can help you out.

>>8713942

check the wiki.

http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Stoneskin

there's 3 merchants who sell it, one in each town, but you can only buy it when you are a citizen of the corresponding town that is in first rank (currently windurst)

going to start the install process, wish me luck

also what's the difficulty im going to have with the pirated version?

>>8724588

>what's the difficulty im going to have with the pirated version?

i dont understand what you meant here, you mean difficulty installing? or difficulty playing

>>8724588

Difficulty in what sense? The install process is long, but not too bad. hardest part for me was figuring out some of the set up, but after asking I got the answers I needed.

Don't be afraid to ask for help and once your in let us know. one of us (my self included) will set you up with a link pearl so you can chat with everyone.

>>8665681

Go to Sylph if you still can, look for the AchievementHunters Linkshell. We do Ballista whenever we have 6 or more people.

>>8724997

That's pretty cool. It's not worth $15 to me though.

>>8725031

Ah. Well then, good luck with your hunt for Ballista people… mebbe your server has some achievement hunters on it.

i'd never thought i'd say this but

Butts we need a reset

theres a Lv1 guy named Tiber whos apparently having internet problems.

someone with a pearl sack mind logging and giving him one?

>>8726007

Just woke up from sleeping. If you come back online I can set you up. Just respond here and I'll help get you set up.

>>8728272

>too stupid to google basic ffxi mechanics

Because you're probably already at the attack cap for these low level mobs.

>>8728600

>attack cap

so even if i have 500 attack, if an enemy has an atk cap of 50, im gonna keep hitting it as if i had 50 atk?

i cant find anything about that on the wiki, mind pointing me in the right direction?

Scholar's Artifacts quests is broke due to unresponsive NPC in Bastok Market (S).

http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Loussaire

Hope this can get fixed as Artifacts quest seems to be tied to LB5 for Scholars.

>>8728776

Thanks.

>>8730780

Level another class to 70. Seriously. SCH limit break, just like DNC and every class that DOESN'T use Maat for their LB5, isn't scripted at all.

As for the AF, it may be the case that the scripts on butts's server aren't updated, as it looks like Gentle Tiger's script is fine to me.

>>8728776

I haven't had any need to use /wait 1 on all my BRD macros to swap out my equips, but then again I'm using /equipset instead of equipping a specific slot.

>>8734275

Yeah, Gentle Tiger's scripts work, it's just that one other NPC that isn't at the moment as part of the SCH quest.

So far in the SCH quest line, I've done Downward Helix and previous with all the NPC's and cut scenes working seemingly fine.

I was hoping to bring attention to it because I've put a fair amount of time into this class and to have progress halted by a single dead npc is sad.

To be completely honest, I just want that SCH gear. I really like how it looks and 3/5 parts are locked behind a single dead NPC.

I suppose I could start training my white mage up again in the meantime.

is it possible to have this server and the retail server installed on the same OS? or do i need a virtual box?

is it possible to have this server and the retail server installed on the same OS? or do i need a virtual box?

okay so, here is what I think, we should cap the level at 75, since everything past that is broke dick anyway tbh butts git on it thanks.

http://genomeffxi.livejournal.com/15949.html

I actually found this by googling genome ffxi calculations :3 I remember this ancient livejournal post from 100 years ago

boost works fine, watch your Attack stat in the Equipment window as you use it

also BUTTS: volatile enmity fix is in, server needs updating pls

is anybody online right now?

>>8748828

Belle, Nihmoh, Friedrich and the ghost of Tiber.

The ghost pirate Tiber has been haunting port Selbina for nearly a week now.

>>8748863

im trying to make a virtual box to reinstall Comfinity on it, so i can have my main box run the retail game, because i dont know if its possible to run both Comfinity and retail on the same files, so im just gonna install the game twice and be done with it.

might be off for a day or two while i do this, since there's not enough people to do anything high level anyway, have fun!

t. kat

>>8725031

BTW, before I forget this again… While Ballista needs 6 people to have signed up for the match to START, only 1 person on each side needs to be there for the match itself. So if you can find a guy who's gonna be idle for an hour, you can just have him sign up and let him be the punching bag for ya.

>>8750768

I hope you're not disappointed by it. The game is radically different today than it was then. Butts server is closer to what it would have been like around aht urhgan era, just a good portion doesn't work as intended.

>>8751878

Really I personally think the trust system damaged the game, so I'm pretty fine with it not working.

>>8751893

I don't disagree. Trusts did to the game what heroes did to GW1. Some people liked the change; I think it turned a MMO into a single player game.

>>8751878

i'm trying to install both

and i thought the first Great War of Installation Wizards was bad…

>>8751893

You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.

Just like people who said that Abyssea's EXP (not level increase) was terrible because it eliminated most of the actual leveling process.

In the end, whether you like it or not, it was a necessary change for a game with a dwindling number of people trying to gain EXP at any given time.

im getting error 0xc000007b when trying to execute xiloader.exe

what was the solution to this again?

i know this has nothing to do with the server but what retail world should i go into?

>>8758261

In terms of population, I think Asura is the most populated and Sylph is the least populated…

>>8758321

picked asura because i remember someone mentioning it

>>8754672

Yeah it probably saved the game but that doesn't mean it was a change for the better in terms of gameplay. It was an amputation of a pretty significant part of the game. That part had become difficult and cumbersome for a dwindling population and removing it let the game live longer, but that doesn't make the decision to remove it an objectively good decision. It was just the necessary one.

>>8759842

there's 1200 people in Asura right now.

if this is the "most populated" i dont want to imagine what the least populated is like

>>8754672

Necessary yes, but it turned an MMO into a single player game

>>8759925

The game's pretty dead, you only have really hard into fanboys left over still paying a sub fee

>>8759952

less dead than Butts at least.

RIP Mithrabutts 2016-2016

Not to complain, but there seem to be some problems with phalanx dropping and starting the sleepga 2 quest. Any help please?

>>8760651

>phalanx

N E V E R

E V E R

>>8764864

It's fairly recent that they hand you so many trusts via RoE, but yeah. As time progresses you'll be able to summon the majority of the game's cast. Shantotto so best.

>>8767699

how many of you subbeD?

>>8771638

just me i think, i'm probably the only one with enough free time to justify a purchase this late in the games life cycle.

whats your charname anyway?

>>8774674

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2739

I'm not sure if this helps since I'm a filthy piratewindows peasant.

>>8774674

i spent 1 whole day trying to install the game to run the private server on a virtual box and failed horribly because xiloader.exe says im missing about 50 DLL that i assume windows gets automatically when you install the drivers for a video card

Yeah there's no way this shit's gonna work.

fuck it

>>8785934

It's probably all bloated and gross by now. They might have a hard time identifying it at this rate.

>>8786045

is anyone even online anymore?

>>8786817

I would be but I burned myself out on in real bad so I'm taking a couple of days away from it before I get back into it.

>>8786817

>>8787198

Also it's like 4am in clapistan so don't expect a lot of people.

Fried here. I'm on a lot, just got sky (Despot rekt me) and the other day Anopsia and I farmed Dynamis-Bastok. Good times! Auxy, if you read this, can you please make me some Triumph Rings/Earrings? Thank you.

>>8794820

If it is, that's pretty sad.

When was the last server restart?

>>8794900

about 2 weeks ago because butts is kill

>>8797147

…tonka?

>>8798819

I'll be on tomorrow for sure, but right now I need to sleep. My head is killing me and meds haven't helped.

>>8796895

GHOSTS?!

WOO WOOOOO

>>8799342

if only that was working on the private server, I'd like to see it
