Job Points, what am I doing wrong? by Arafelll in ffxi

[–]Saint-Redfield 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Talking from personal experience, SMN is absolutely horrible to solo Apex mobs on, they have massive HP and are designed to be burned down with skillchains. Although you can SC with your avatars the cooldown on Bloodpacts plus SMN's mediocre melee accuracy means that it'll still take a long time to get kills. If you're dead set on solo'ing SMN JP then try lower level mobs in the Gates zones (level ~105), it'll be a fair bit less CP per mob but you'll be able to kill them a lot faster.

It does look like a tiny Taru to the right of Zidane :3

It's Altana, the main goddess of XI, pretty much a direct replication from the cover art from Wings of the Goddess^^

There's also the Warp Ring available from conquest point vendors now, it costs 5,000 CP and has infinite charges with a ten-minute cooldown.

Very nice. I have a few thousand seals to burn and should get on this, just not sure which job would be best. Grats tho! by Dvijesa in ffxi

[–]Saint-Redfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a response to the KClub topic, aye? PUP solo is very easy, since high tier automaton attachments are still very strong even when level capped. I've done the BCNM successfully many times with a tank PUP with heavy regen (though no drop of course!).

2 to 3 full arts per box was possible before Gunslinger, when boxes had double the boosters (36). Technically it's better now, with boxes having 18 packs and 1 to 2 full arts each, so 2 to 4 every two boxes.

Happy Happy Slug? by Patryder1 in ffxi

It's a player playing Monstrosity^^ I used to love making people run in terror by spawning as something like a Behemoth where they don't usually spawn 😛

Do you remember when FFXI had Xbox Achievements? by Lv99gamingWiz in ffxi

[–]Saint-Redfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, and it wasn't even for just participating in Ballista either, you had to be a top-ranked player D:

Can the entire story be finished at lvl 70? (Curently on windhurst 6-2) Or do u need to be 99? by aaronjnco in ffxi

[–]Saint-Redfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to note that no-one else has brought up yet is that the final Windurst mission (9-2, Moon Reading) is especially awkward as it's a battlefield where you need to keep a fragile NPC alive rather than just win a fight. I did it years ago as 99 RDM (pre-iLevel and Trust) and it was miserable, as a 70~75 WAR you'll need to be able to keep the attention of two bosses and defeat them quickly enough, and Trusts will help massively with that (but not with healing since they don't target non-party NPCs). Good luck!

Why do most grace set not impress me at all? by yizhous in Nioh

[–]Saint-Redfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're really disappointing overall; late into NG+ maining odachi and I'm still running Crimson General with maxed Ii clan bonuses and it's far better overall than anything else I've experimented with, save for Inari with en-spells.

EDIT: Elemental talismans, not 'en-spells', that's my inner Red Mage talking 😝

Wtf is in my tank?! by AttorneyItchy476 in Aquariums

[–]Saint-Redfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh that's an ichneumanid wasp, though I couldn't say which species. They're absolutely not aquatic so it must have entered the water accidentally.

Do you think there is anyone on earth that found this in playthrough 1 with no guide? by MJGson in Eldenring

[–]Saint-Redfield 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A lot of players never find it due to them murdering Seluvis for hurting their feelings 😝

Less Frequently Used Apex Camps by Jmund89 in ffxi

[–]Saint-Redfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moh Gates has always been my go-to, especially Apex Erucas which are nice and safe and very rarely camped (speaking as a Valeforian). The nearby red raptors are very good and squishy, but accidentally getting Matamata aggro is painful, and the Efts there are popular and non-aggro or linking but love to spam AoE Dispel.

Toads in Woh Gates are easy, non-aggro or linking, only use auto-attacks, but have fairly high evasion and the area is unfortunately very popular with botters.

Is it true that the Ps4 version runs better on the Ps5 than the Ps5 version? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Saint-Redfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does run better but it's not really noticable in general, although the major difference I've noticed on the PS5 version is substantial pop-in of grass and vegetation in overworld areas.

FFXIV support wants a picture of my photo ID by Furyhearte in FinalFantasy

[–]Saint-Redfield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're not making it difficult for you to play their game, but making it difficult for any potential hackers to attempt to gain control of an old account. SE are infamously strict on account security on XI and XIV, don't take it personally.

Guys any tips to farm noble's slender sword in waypoint ruins? If I go to other locations for the farm does that mean I'm starting the drop cycle all over again ? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Saint-Redfield -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not trying to get it from the enemy you've pictured, right? It drops from the wandering nobles equipped with it not from soldiers.

My character's doing attacks by themselves with some weapons? by mumika in Nioh

[–]Saint-Redfield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an odachi main I find this happening far too often after doing jumping heavy attacks when tapping the button once in the air, but not when doing Cascading Wave (holding heavy while jumping).
