Most narrow escape ever!Follow

Ok I will give you the benifit of the doubt for everything leading up to the zoned to house while dead line. For that one I shall call you a lier.


Lier.

^^^^ I will belive becuase it has happened to me before (>'.'<)

Funniest thing i ever saw regarding narrow escapes was when three of us were searching Gusgen for keys (for RSE quest a 32 WHM, 27 PLD, and 34 THF) A NM bogy spawned on us and proceeded to kick our asses. I healed the paladin and we all ran to zone... I watched in horror as the paladin's hp dropped quickly as he ran.... I thought he was dead as I zoned, then we all laughed hysterically when we saw that he had 1 hp left...

Needless to say... we were done with Gusgen for the night.

I am quite aware that you can bind to your house, but if you would re-read what I said above you would smack your self. You bind to the entrance to your house _IN TOWN_. What he said was he went back to his BIND POINT at his mog house IN TOWN then zoned ___DEAD___ into his mog house and got the house regen. Which is clearly what I said when I stated "zoned to house".

IF you could bind inside of your house I am sure you would regain health but, you can only bind to the entrance to your mog house IN TOWN.

I am new to FFXI and every day I learn new things. Today I want to learn how I can bind at the entrance to my mog house .. if anyone could please enlighten me?

When one is a n00bie in this game, there are a myriad of little questions that arise that it is difficult to figure out the answers to without a bit of help or luck.

I have a million questions I hate to bother people with - or have asked and people don't know. For instance, another is, how do I remove a name from my 'ignore' list? I put someone who was an annoying kid there by accident when he tried to put me on his friend's list and I didn't want to hurt his feelings by outright declining. I thought the Decline option would send him some rude message perhaps, so I tried the Ignore Sender option - which both declined and put him on an Ignore list.

Back to the topic at hand though (sort of) .. I find it interesting that I can die at the hand of a mob which I also kill - either almost simultaneously or slightly after I die - and if he dies, I will still get the loot (though not the experience, unfortunately). The other day, I sat there thinking about hitting the Return to Home Point button and watching the mob that had just killed me smile at my demise, when suddenly (about a minute after the kill I swear) he keeled over from the poison I had cast before I died. I still got the loot. :)

Unfortunately, I have not to date escaped any death, other than through luck and good timing when it came down to that 'him or me' blow. When I engage, I expect to die if it is close because I don't seem to be able to run any faster than the mob can. But, your stories of escape at the last second encourage me to believe that, down the road, I may indeed have some of these 'in the nick of time' stories to tell. :)

Thank you SO much for that info. :)

I have not yet 'changed jobs' so I never saw that option. Will try it out soon. And, I have heard of the 'blacklist' but was not sure it was also the 'ignore' list. Silly little things .. but .. knowing the answers makes a lot of difference .. so you have my full appreciation!

My narrow-escape story:

I was a Black Mage made the level that I can use Drain (level 10, maybe or 12) and decided it was time to head to San D'Oria for to get the spell. I'm from Windurst, and at the time all I had was a pretty horrible map that said to go through Tahrongi, Meriphataud, Saramougue, Rolanberry, Pashlow, Konschtat, Valkrum, La' Theine, Ronfaure, San D'oria. Clearly my guide was WRONG but I didn't know that at the time, so off I went.

There are no binding points that I can use along the way as I'm broke and now in lands that aren't owned by Windurst.

So I finally am running my way through Pashlow. Incredibly Tough monsters all around me. No map. Just following the road and hoping. I'm about 1/3 of the way through when suddenly, from around the corner, a Goblin smacks me. Wham! Wham! My hitpoints drop to 1. ONE! And I start running.

I remember reading that monsters sometimes have trouble pathing around trees and such, so I start weaving for all I'm worth. Now I'm in the swamp, with no map, no clue how big the zone is or how far I have to go. I have 1 HP, and a mad goblin chasing me, and *NO IDEA* what I'm going to run into around the *next* corner.

But I run, and run, and run. It's about a 10 minute run for me, and I eventually made it out of Pashlow and into Konschtat....with 1 HP left.

No, I'm not lying. I had set my HP right outside my mog house when I left after doing a job swap (change then change back, easier than going to the crystal). When I appeared I was literally at the doorstep. All I did was aim for the door as I appeared and my character zoned the instant the game gave me control. Once inside my hp went back up to full and I didn't die. It takes a split second for a character death to register once you reach 0 hp and the game won't register a death when you're zoning, only when the player has control. I've also seen players reduced to 0 and not die because someone cast cure on them just as the hp hit the 0 mark, and people zone at 0 hp and die on the other side.

Next time ask for clarification before you start calling people liars because it tends to **** them off and then they categorize you as a troll/moron and you make an enemy of them for no good reason.

Why on earth would I want to lie about that? Screenshots are meaningless as they can be easily faked BTW. Don't believe everything you see. This was no intentional action on my part and there is no "trick" here, it was just pure dumb luck.
