Final Fantasy XI Then...

and as far as BLU is concerned i thought it you could force any BLU attack move to chain as SC or as MB.

I was under the impression physical Blue Magic (such as Sickle Slash) is able to skill chain and magical blue magic (such as Cursed Sphere) is able to burst skill chains.

My query was not so much is breath magic (in the sense is it a spell) as it clearly isn't (no casting process) but more whether the game simplifies damage down to only physical and magic (then sub-divides to breath). I'm probably clutching at straws.

For exmaple, look at Cursed Sphere. The description as a Blue Magic says "Deals water damage" and it is a magical type attack. Now, it isn't a spell per se and isn't physical damage, nor is it breath.

Perhaps if I;m lucky enough to get the cape I can test on Firedrakes in Riverne beforehand.

Cheers for the thoughts

is that not the same as with weapon skills though, where it's either physical or elemental?

I think for me the next good time to try this will be Friday as the knockout phases of the world cup are on Saturday and Sunday and not sure which one we're in yet. Someone try to find out what mosley is up to and let us know ^^

If we go Friday we should do both BCs and finish up the path. Depending on how tired everyone is we could even keep going and try the following path which only has the one BC. Remaining on Ulmia we have

1) Mithra BC @ Attowha Chasm 50 cap
2) Snoll BC @ Bearclaw Pinnacle 60 cap
3) Cid for Cutscene

Then we have the last path Louverance

1) 4 Cutscenes pretty well spread out, should take about 30 mins to an hour
2) BC in Mineshaft 60 Cap (AF at last)
3) Cutscene
4) Gold key useage time (at last)
5) Cutscene and we're done!

I am good for Friday and for as much as that as is possible. If others are also OK we should put a LS message up so Mos knows.

I'm also available for that, and being a Friday I'll play until 3am if needs be.

Did anyone stay up for that huge besieged last night? I logged on for a brief AH check around 11:30pm and all the beastmen hordes were preparing to attack... gutted my bro was staying and needed an early night as it meant I couldn't wait for it ; ;

Late night attacks usually have less participants, and when you get a few in a row you can find yourselves defending as few as 1 general... hope we've still got the astral candescence!

I'm game to go for it on Friday night, see howmuch we can done. Obviously progress depends on us winning each fight first time up. I reckon a blast till arout 02:00 will get us done if w win everything and get started at the mithra BC by 20:30.

Tal when do you reckon we could go for kick off?

[Tobal]

Fridays good for me.

[Tsingtao]

Just Wedge and Mosley to confirm then and we're good.

Should be good for an 8.30 start (or earlier) and will make sure I am at the zone the night before ^_^

Tobal, question on Store TP.

Store TP+1 gives an extra 0.1 TP?

How does this work with Dual Wield? Is it an extra 0.1 per attack or 0.1 per attack round (i.e. every 2 swings).

Just looking long-term at my gear options and with Chivalrous Chain, Rajas Ring and Brutal Earring I would have Store TP+7 which if it is the case where it applies to each swing would be an extra 1.4TP per set of swings which seems almost too good.

[Tobal]

It?s not exactly 1 tp store = 0.1

it all dependant on your Delay, it more like % of the delay on your weapon so +10 tp store isn?t 1tp extra per swing. Lucky the sweet spot for 10tp store for 1tp extra is 450 delay(standard G.K delay). It?s calculated for an attack round as your delay is the combined weapons and Dual Swing bonus, resulting in lower TP gain.

A standard Sam with 450 delay and natural Tp Store gets just over 14tp(about 14.5 - 14.7), I use the +25 store from my equipment to get just over 17tp per hit. (Which is ace after WS hit, I only have to swing 5 times to get 102 TP). Soboro makes it insane on T to VT mobs, just need that Byyako Legs and that Haste Turban, and +6tp store from merits

[C']

What is the natural TP : Delay ratio without taking Dual Wield/Store TP into account?

For some reason I recall Delay:40 = 1 TP but probably far off.

[Tobal]

Not a clue, best of checking the samurai forum on ifrit or alla they usually have topic once a week on TP store, formula's are usually in them.

24hrs downtime for me due to flooding my flat like an idiot.

Back on it tonight. Going to Windy to sell my grain seeds and pick up Blaze Spikes. Then back to pty'ing in the dunes if I can find a party that won't allow power levellers to hang around waving their knobs around.

That means I'll have to bring my console and everything unless we want to sit through 4hrs of installation.

You thinking of jumping on the bandwagon? I'm on with DaveHirst and Greg, and my other mate Justin - we need two more people for a full on 6-man n00b crew.
