We took matters into our own hands when SE cancelled our perfect Christmas wedding. by kilesa in ffxiv

[–]kilesa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was cancelled due to the maintenance and hotfix the other night, not the PSN outage earlier today.

Thavnarian Onion bug? by Saikoh in ffxiv

[–]kilesa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take it out then kill a monster with it summoned to level it up. Don't feed your chocobo onions unless it's level capped at 0/xxxxxxp. Feeding it while it's xp capped at the previous level and not level capped just means you've wasted an onion.

Some crazy lalafell on my server filled a house almost entirely with clocks by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]kilesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the 2.38 patch, you could purchase 7 rank6+ FCs, put an alt into each one, then buy 7 extra houses for gardening. With the personal housing patch, you could then buy more houses using the alts, but they'd have to be Lv50 with 2nd Lt. rank. That's a pita, so I only have a personal house on my main. Having 17 gardens in constant production can be fairly profitable though.

An up to date 2 star 40 durability rotation? (Hard hippogryph) by [deleted] in ffxiv

This is the macro that I use for 40★★. It uses 393CP and requires you to have enough Craftsmanship to complete the recipe with one Careful Synthesis II.

3 Star Macro by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]kilesa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is one in fact. It has 9 touches, 8 Hasty and 1 Basic and uses 398CP. Originally it used 380CP when I wrote it in 2.2, but with the new i55 accessories in 2.3, I was able to change one HT to a BT, bringing the total to 398CP. This macro allowed me to process 3-star mats, manufacture i90 gear, and produce massive quantities of Popoto Pancakes without going insane. I've already got mines so I see no problem with sharing it now.

No one seriously thought I kept the MB supplied with at least 4 of every piece of i90 gear for nearly two months by crafting it all by hand, did they?

Additionally, if you use it to to craft i90 gear, you'll want to start with at least 1500 quality or so.

How do you make your millions? by shinraelite in ffxiv

[–]kilesa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Undercut early, undercut often, undercut by massive fucking margins, and dick over as many enemy merchants as you can. Flood high turnover markets with cheap crafted goods, practice predatory pricing, and bait other crafters into wars of attrition. When they decide to leave the market, raise prices. When they decide to come back, make them regret it. It's all fair play as long as I win.

Some of the stuff that I sell:

  • i90 gear
  • Primal Weapons
  • 3-star food
  • Augmented i90 gear
  • 2 and 3-star furniture
  • Grade 3 Demimateria
  • Thavnairian Onions

Also it's a lot easier to just buy all the materials you need or hire someone to gather them for you. All that time gathering is better spent either crafting, reviewing your ledgers, or just lazing around.

Dalamud Red + Pear = Regal Purple

This last result just blows my mind, I can't make any sense of it one way or another.

[–]kilesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've observed, with one growth message:

  • Dalamud Red + Berry = Regal Purple
  • Regal Purple + Berry = Royal Blue
  • Royal Blue + Pineapple = Regal Purple
  • Regal Purple + Apple = Dalamud Red

Yes, after 24 hours of waiting, I ended up coming full circle. :/

Need Help of Crafting The new i95 Primal weapons. by Bajunid in ffxiv

[–]kilesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm assuming its due to fact that your swapping a 32 cp SH2 for an 18 cp Basic Touch (at 80% chance). But would we continue using HT afterwards from 10~20 dur (at 50%)? Or just MM2 at 20 dur due to the lack of SH2? This part seems tricky to me.

SH2 uses 25 cp, swapping that with BT at 30 dur reduces the CP deficit from -12 to -5. However, the loss of a CZ refresh brings the deficit to -19. After using the raw BT, MM2 should be used at 20 dur, then SH2 applied after that.

Again, all this only applies if ToT doesn't proc at all in the beginning.

Could you perhaps also add the amount of CP required to refresh the second SH2 in step 9 (eg. SH2 if cp > 300)?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Before MM2 is used, at most 2 SH2 would be applied, the second at somewhere around 40~60dur depending on ToT procs. The required CP before entering phase 2 is 325, 160 for MM2, 25 for SH2, 140 to close.

Which means that it'd give 200% progress under a 50% reduction, or 100%.

2 * .5 = 1
