Plastic Surgeon is deprecated I think and doesn't work properly.
The new addon is called DressUp

Damn I need to make some progress in SoA then, thanks.
Well, this welcome back is the one that finally hooked me. RoE and FoV/GoV clicked a lot better this time. Ended up taking three jobs from 40-50ish after finding good spots in Crawler's Nest.
Think I will resub for a bit, I'll try to be most vocal, still getting use to battles again. I saw some LS chatting but couldn't really read it while not dying. But obviously in time that will become easy again.

Grats!
For me it's going really slow, I might cap it sometime in 2019
Hey welcome back mang!

Getting a nice stable of Trusts is a good thing to put on a to do list. Next month they're launching a campaign and some very nice trusts will be easily obtainable, like Amchuchu, Ovjang and Koru-Moru
entirely too much farming later...
Now I can bug someone with Synergy.
Thanks mang!
I'll keep an eye out for them, right now I seemly have 5 tanks (Ex.. Cur.. and Trion from San d'Oria, Naji and Val something..) and one white mage (Kupipi). Got a cipher last night after spawning Val for a Mahili or something along those lines, haven't tried them out yet though.
Ayame looks nice, I was under the impression I needed to be higher ranks in other areas for those, but what I've read doesn't seem to support that, so I'll probably grab her as my first DD.

Reminder that it's tuesday when we try and do some kind of event or something. If anyone is around at 8 est and needs things, say something and we can try and go get them, or fight a boss or something.
I didn't, I did spot you once in town after that, but I'm still not quick enough to keep up with chat, may have to just set up a second box for battle into only.
Can you explain this more? I never got into synergy in the first place, but I'm guessing finding someone with synergy lv80 will be able to do the craft for me?
I'm at 5 warder combat skill necklaces, so I'm almost there
Looking around I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/3zvu9k/a_flow_chart/cypekru
Decent 'get back into things' route? I started up RoV a little, on the bee hunting quest currently, but planning to continue this until I get the 3 exp boosts they suggest in the link and then start pushing a job to 99.

That post is really helpful to help new players find their place in today's FFXI.
For those who want to be efficient and get caught up to endgame faster, leeching in escha zi'tah works just fine. Just try to unlock as much exp% boost KI beforehand to make it easier on the power leveler. I was able to help a friend start a new character and got 1-99 in about 2 hours after finishing RoV.
Give me a /tell if you want a PL to 99, I don't mind helping out because I'm grinding Job Points myself anyway. I'm aware some players want to earn their first 99 themselves, more power to those that do.

The way it was explained to me, someone else with higher synergy than you can do the craft after you've deposited the items as long as you're in a party.

yea thats exactly it.
The main design was that you can share the subcrafts needed to create something. So like a 100 alchemist teams up with a 100 goldsmith and synergizes a final product. In practice its never worked that way. You just find someone with leveled synergy and appropriate synth skill to make shit with you in party

Step A2) is missing a mention that you need rank 5 and a bit of progress through every expansion pack's mission set to actually progress through RoV that far. Otherwise I can find little fault with this overview.
Man I feel like a chump with my 75-100k/hour exp with trusts in Crawler's Nest...and I thought I was on fire.
I got the expansions up to WotG but none of the addons. I tried getting the ultimate pack for my missing content but since I imported I need US keys where as I can only buy EU ones when SE/GmG do sales. Guess I could look up US ultimate pack on ebay for a cheaper route though.
Tried that but it would not let me checkout since billing adress is outside NAland sadly.
Nah that's region locked as well.
I see, thanks! I could look up the story stuff and have no plans on leveling blu so that works out quite fine then.
Yeah AF3 (reforged, naturally) can be pretty desirable depending on job.
If you buy each Abyssea addon separately, they cost $10/10 each, so it makes no sense to do so really. Better off just buying the Ultimate Seekers Collection for the same price and getting everything.

I can't believe I made an Ochain in 3 days lol..... I remember and cringe at how frustrating souls once were.
Still loving this game after taking a little break to recharge my batteries.

Can I get a pearl sometime on my new char please? I have tons of telepoints unlocked so I can come to you this time.
Also, I'm trying to complete the Rank 2 final mission fight for Bastok which is the Black Dragon in Giddeus. The online guide says I can use trust in the fight but I can't seem to get my trusts to work for the fight. If I summon them beforehand they don't zone in with me. In the fight arena itself they are gone and I can't summon them while inside. Anyone know what's up?
At my current level(30) I can't beat this fight alone.
Edit: nevermind, I just figured out what was wrong lol. Summoning them outside the fight was killing their cooldown timers inside, so I just had to wait.

Yeah, I looked for you the other day but you weren't online. Shoot me a tell anytime, and I'll try to leave some pearls on the Concierge in Bastok Markets as well.

If you haven't got windower yet it has a plugin for visible cooldown timers. Might help you out with that.
How do I start with Ochain? I'm level 90, but very very new to all the changes in the last ~3-4 years.
My goal was Aegis, but it almost seems as if that's second-tier to Ochain. I highly doubt I will be doing large group high level battles; I'll be more solo/duo oriented. That seems to reinforce Ochain because of the block rate.

Ochain costs like 10x what an Aegis does. You start one in Abyssea.
But Aegis is far from obsolete.

Have been real nostalgic all day, looking through my old screenshots from playing for yeeeeeeears on the PS2 and Xbox 360 versions. I was actually still playing the 360 version right up until February this year, but made the switch to PC (on a TV) early when the Xbox version just stopped working anyway lol, SE never gave me an answer as to why. >_>
Such great memories, such a special game. I'm glad I managed to get 100% Achievements on Xbox as well.
Farewell console versions, thank you for all the good times. <3

The recommended PC specs were recently updated to account for the end of the console era: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/envi/win/win01.html
While we probably can't expect major developments to justify that, it's still a neat gesture.
Now I wonder how long it'll take for them to work out the server population math of the post-console era and announce some server merges...
I was on Remora and later got merged into Leviathan, which sort of kept the water-based avatar theme... IIRC, Fairy got merged into Sylph, which also kept a fae naming theme... I wonder if anything of the sort will still apply to later merges, if that's even possible at this point.

Yeah, of the two, I would probably make Aegis first. That magic damage mitigation is harder to make up for than the block rate of Ochain. In fact, I believe that Priwen (the Oboro shield) is actually slightly better than Ochain as long as you're able to keep reprisal up.

Unless of course you just happen to have 1.2~1.5 billion gil burning a hole in your pocket, then you can get that rad afterglow on ochain.

Servers are boned. Constant disconnects while zoning. What was the point of this morning's maintenance?
Ah, sorry about that! I'll definitely look for you next time I'm on. Not sure when that will be though since I left my laptop adapter in another city. Probably sometime this weekend. Thanks!
I'll look into this. Back in the day I always thought add-ons for this game were bannable.
There's a whole system of lights affected by the killing blow and opened chests there that affect exp gain. It's been a while since I was there, but check the bluegartr wiki for more details.
For sheer exp there may be better places nowadays though, like Escha-Zi'tah.

It's just the 9 listed on the news page. The link sends you to a forum thread that literally lists them all.
Yeah, the forum thread lists them all, but I was hoping for a list of just the ones available for purchase in game during this easter extravaganza since other than the 9 mentioned on the front page I also found King, Makki and Morimar.
Basically I was wondering if there were other trusts available right now that I might not know about.
Edit: I see King, Makki and Morimar have been added to the frontpage today, so I guess that's all.
Final Fantasy XI April version update arrives; Yoji Fujito promoted to director
I still have my unused code for the whole collection which I got during the last big sale. Maybe this is the time to jump back in?
Are there still many of you playing on Sylph?
