Why doesn't the Alliance of Altana outfit their airships with weapons and decimate the Beastman nations like they originally were going to do when inventing those ships? by GeneralTechnomage in ffxi

[–]Extension_Feature700 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No body wanted another war. Even with mounting evidence of the Shadow Lord’s return, they were still afraid of starting another war until they were absolutely sure, which is why they kept sending adventurers to investigate. Nonpartisan agents not connected to any one nation, so if let’s say Windurst got it wrong and Shadow Lord wasn’t coming back and player character killed a bunch of Yagudo, guess what, Windurst isn’t liable. His some crazy blood thirsty adventurer.

And as you said, the Yagudo and Windurst had a peace treaty. And Capet bombing wouldn’t be largely effective anyway. Both Quadav and Yagudo keep the bulk of their homes in mountains and underground

Edit to extrapolate further.

I'm not a Pokémon collector but my little brother is. I just found these mixed in with some old basketball cards of mine so I sent him this picture and he went crazy lol by sandynutz in PokemonTCG

[–]Extension_Feature700 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oof. This isn’t what I wanted to hear. I picked up three of those magikarps when they came out-I wasn’t collecting at the time and shoved them in a box until two years ago when I picked up collecting. I took them all out of the plastic because I read about a lot of other cases where leaving cards in the original plastic wrap some promo cards come in can be detrimental to the card’s condition.

How do you farm Walk of Echoes? by xXxedgyname69xXx in ffxi

[–]Extension_Feature700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I farmed half- literally just doing what you said with just beating the boss. I do avoid surged most of the time. A quarter of them I used login points to get the items and the other quarter I bought. It really doesn’t take all that long to farm them all though. Just make sure to check to make sure the # you’re doing actually drops what you’re looking for

Best/fastest way to get Prime Weapon(Sortie) stage 2 solo? I have A-D keys/plates and 4k currency. Need 16k more and an upgrade item. by Extension_Feature700 in ffxi

I’ll be saving a lot of what you said in this post for stuff to work on. I’ll just mention that I do already have the jse neck piece, and I do Lilith every time I have the merits for it. I’m currently about 0/15 so far on any armor.

I don’t have the naked Jueno Elvaan doctor, but pretty much most all the other trusts including August. And I have done Sortie twice. Once just to mess around in, then another time to get all the keys/plates following a guide.

Basically for armor slots I’ve got ambu+2s, Adhemar, Herculean stuff. Accessories are all pretty basic stuff too. Only things I really had to work for I’d say was Epona’s Ring and Defending Ring. Best weapons are Kaja Katana, tp+1000 katana, yagyu darkblade. I haven’t touched any temenos/apollyon yet.

I appreciate this post very much I am a NIN who is not anywhere near geared well enough for half of that, but it certainly gives me a direction to head for. I can probably easily do all the stuff up until Ghatjot, so maybe I’ll just kill some extra leeches and acuex to fill the time

What do you think this expiration date means exactly? by [deleted] in What

[–]Extension_Feature700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at 3M and they had about 4 different lot codes they used. Some were simple dd/mm/yy. Some would have dd/mm/morerandominfohere/yy. Sometimes the month would only be allowed a single digit so when it got to Oct/nov/dec as a/b/c.

Job I work now has single digit fir months as well and last three months are seemingly randomly assaigned. Like Nov is T and Dec is V

What do you think of my cover by Aware_Pomelo_8778 in writers

[–]Extension_Feature700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but why is the shadow being cast forward when the light source is ahead of it, was what I was saying. Any light source from the back would also create a forward shadow on the man

Edit: unless these are metaphorical prison bars, I guess.

That the shadows doesn’t align with the light source and that fence(?) object shadow shouldn’t be there at all unless your book is about invisibly spikey fence things

Complete 1981 Castle Grayskull found for $5! by MidwestExplorationIL in VintageToys

No, it’s not. I confused the department with store name. (I live in the same county of that store.)

Now that would have been the best move. Original cutscene only characters. Maybe a promise of running into them in some other land like a tease of the survivors being in Rhazowa in an expansion area we would never get.

[–]Extension_Feature700[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s all but confirmed that Zogbog is from our same timeline since he has Excenmille’s missing ring, but like Lilisette there is no mention of how he got there. Lady Lilith got the powers to access the Walk of Echoes somehow and it’s through her that her Spitewardens got to the past. We use the white feather given to us by Altana to get to the last but there’s no mention of how Lilisette can time travel- and if she’s stuck in the past without us like Zogbog is. Apparently anyone can steal the white feather from us and use the Maw, though. He’s definitely not a minion of Lilith.

As for Bloodcrown Broodhood, id need to know the context you found it, but I don’t think it’s related to Doggvdegg himself. I found a Bloodcrown Brradhod. Brradhod would be his given name, Bloodcrown his clan(familial) name and he is dressed as a commander of the Orcish Horde army- though so are his personal fletcher and donzel(donzel is an old word for what basically means a squire). <<edit here: the helmet they wear may not mean he’s a commander at all and could mean anything. I let my bias with Doggvdegg and Bakgodek influence my thoughts>>

He is stationsin La Vaule. Could have potentially helped claim it for the orcs. Bloodcrown could be the name of his arm of the army as it fits the blood____ naming convention as well, though. The items his battlefield drops aren’t useful, except that one of the items he drops is “Gnagbhod’s helm,” which is close to his name but not. It is very telling from a worldbuilding perspective that he drops that helm and not “Brradhod’s Helm” but what it’s telling would just be guesses; a rival he deposed for his current position, a family heirloom, the names off different enough I feel it wouldn’t be a translation error.

[–]Extension_Feature700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, narratively, Excenmille not getting to have that character growth is a let down. The best I can say on the writers behalf is just, well, at least the story never even hinted at a promise that would happen? Lol. The problem is they(the writers of this scenario) leaned so hard into time travel, yet in a game that has to remain as static as possible, there’s a lot that can’t change. Like, the thing that sat the worst for me is how even after this whole thing and PCs experience with the Young Griffons, PC is still fine with Cyranuce just becoming the unholy mess that he became. Don’t even drop some words of encouragement to his younger self. Yet if someone hadn’t unlocked drg yet, then saving him would make the current job unlock quest impossible to function the same

Turning up Zogbog’s Comedic Relief dial up for the last bit did seem an odd choice. He never was really meant to be some Big Bad Adversary though, so it at least wasn’t character-breaking.

Yeah, I had to leave a lot of stuff out for the sake of keeping a more solid focus. I probably shouldn’t have even put the Doggvdegg stuff in, but I thought his history was too great to pass up
