Your Latest and Greatest Red Mage Accomplishment!!Follow

Does soloing Ironclad Executioner still count as an accomplishment or are we all expected to be able to do that at this point?

Finally got some help with climbing Nyzul to 75 where my solo WS point accumulation mattered enough for me to finish the rest off in a short time to finally acquire Death Blossom.

Still working towards CDC, though, and 2/6 of the scorpion VNM.

Also, I took on Maat again at 90 Red Mage just for some payback for all the trouble he caused me at 70...what the hell does that geezer put in his Wheaties? He hits just as hard and resists just as hard as he did back then despite the 20 level difference. Without a doubt Slow II and Shell V made a difference in how much punishment he gave me, but nada otherwise...what the hell?! I thought I was going to be able to go in there and toy with him. Sure caught me off guard, but I managed to beat him anyway. Would have been embarrassing otherwise.

I might have to do this again. Melee @ 70 was alittle dicey but doable, but @75 it was a joke. Did you eat food and was it a Taco?

I just recently got set up with a Nyzul static and my vorpal sword dropped on our floor 20 boss run. I'm waiting to get up in floors a bit higher before trying to break it, but I would say no, Death Blossom isn't completely outdated. I would say (probably because I don't have the /war, /blu, or /pld leveled yet) that I prefer main handing a dagger because there are way more ws options.

Finally took the time to finish Sayon+1. Two rounds of tiger pops with a pickup group left me with 8/10 seals and I didn't want to spend money on another pop so I ended up doing that stupid Altepa quest for my last two. Got lucky(ish) and it only took about 15 runs to get both seals.

Acceptable. Or something like, "I soloed it at 41." Just be sure to deny any speed hacking.

Executioner was more fun when you could hang him on the cliff by Ayravata. He's also more fun when he actually gives up the goods instead of PLD/DNC/BLU-ing you for the 20th time.

Me too except it wasnt on the first mob, and it wasnt the first AF to drop. I got Assassin's Armlets right before I got Duelist's Chapeau.

<if spell="Freeze">
<changespell spell="Paralyze II" />
<equip when="midcast" set="lightfeebling" />
</if>

..will do the same thing. Why are you setting Idle gear to midcast and delaying it so much?

You can also handle this sort of thing with less code by using variables.

<set name="WhiteMagicEnfeeblingMagic1> ~White Enfeebling Potency
<set name="WhiteMagicEnfeeblingMagic2> ~White Enfeebling Accuracy
<set name="BlackMagicEnfeeblingMagic1> ~Black Enfeebling Potency
<set name="BlackMagicEnfeeblingMagic2> ~Black Enfeebling Accuracy

<var name="WhiteMagicLevel">1</var> ~Stores current white enfeebling set; default is Potency.
<var name="BlackMagicLevel">2</var> ~Stores current black enfeebling set; default is Accuracy

<if skill="EnfeeblingMagic">
<equip when="midcast" set="%type%skill$%typeLevel" />
</if> ~Equips proper set based on whether spell is White or Black and the current setting of the appropriate "Level" Variable.

<if spell="Deep Breathing">
<if advanced='$WhiteMagicLevel=1'>
<command when="precast">spellcast var set WhiteMagicLevel 2</command>
<command when="precast">input /echo White Enfeebling set to Accuracy.</command>
<if>
<else>
<command when="precast">spellcast var set WhiteMagicLevel 1</command>
<command when="precast">input /echo White Enfeebling set to Potency.</command>
</else>
<cancelspell />
<return />
</if> ~Causes Deep Breathing JA to toggle between Accuracy and Potency settings for White Enfeebles. Adds /echo so you know it fired. Repeat with a different /JA for BlackMagicLevel. I also do this with Elemental magic.

I recommend using JAs for dummy commands, so you can divide your XML into sections for JA, WS, and magic. Being able to check magic by skill makes the code much cleaner; if you use magic for dummy spells, it can cause all sorts of problems if your code is sloppy.

You can create an alias for the toggle command in your init.txt like so:

alias wset Deep Breathing

All you have to do in game is type //wset and it'll toggle the set automatically. Much easier than using two macros for the same spell.

Also you no longer have to use <action>. <equip /> <changespell /> etc. all work. Also no need to have the staff equip in there if you use variables for staves, it'll automatically equip the right one based on the spell's element.
