Questions your too afraid to ask threadFollow

It's never too soon, per se, but if you had Sneak and Invisible it would probably be better than having your helpers do it for you. RSE requires you to look for a chest and open it in one of three area's: Ordelle's Caves, Maze of Shakikrami, or Gusgen Mines.

As mentioned, you must activate the quest in Jeuno first. The other catch is that it has to be YOUR race's game week in order to get RSE. The Goblin will say something along the lines of 'Hume female in Gusgen' which means that that race can go at that time to try and get their key and chest. This week will alternate between all the races and the time period from the minute the Goblin announces it is eight hours. (I believe).

Getting the key and finding the chest is obviously the hard part. I did my RSE as a 30RDM with a 41WAR helping me, so obviously you don't have to drag out the whole brigade to do it. After you kill key mobs, you run around the area looking for a chest. If it indeed your week AND you have the quest activated, once you pop the chest you will obtain key item: magical pattern. Then you just head back to Jeuno and trade it to the Gobbie for your RSE.

There are sites that provide race times, key mob lists, and chest spawn points -- unfortunately I don't have those at my disposal right now. ><

Hope this helps! ^^

This should be everything you need to get your RSE.

I got a question. Why do they call it a D2???

From what I've seen, D2 stands for dezone, or something like that. It's the Japanese shorthand for warp 2, so maybe the first letter for the Japanese equivalent begins with a "D" sound.

Frankly I don't know, and I've never heard a definitive answer to your question.

It was explained to me that D stands for Destination. A D1 being a tele, a D2 being Warp II, and a D3 being that thing you do when you pop on a sexy lvl 1 job and go commit suicide, zoning to HP ^^

Not sure on question 1

However in response to #2:
(I speak for myself on this)
The only time I really get angry about giving someone a D2 is if i'm in a party, be it exp/skillup/whatever. Typically I just respond with a simple {I'm sorry, I'm busy now}
However, most people don't seem to understand that this does, in fact, mean that I am busy, and continue to push the issue.
Typically one of 2 things will then happen, I'll offer to warp them for a large amount of gil, or I'll blacklist them.

D2 costs 150 mp, I have ~650 mp total.
Casting this adds to downtime and screws with chains - which is frowned on in most parties

Hope that answers it for you

My guess for gil farmer to choose DRG is for Penta Thrust. Penta Thrust is fairly easy to get comparing to Guilletine. Also DRG equipment is more affordable compare to other melee style farmining-capable jobs. Wyvern are great against Too Weaks and might mess up other competing farmer's targeting system.

Not at all, honest question.

As I mentioned, I can only speak for myself on this, everyone is different in how they feel. If I'm not busy, I'm almost always happy to give a d2 (and even more willing if there is gil involved). However there are always moments when I'm not in the mood to or I'm busy.
I certainly wouldn't say Don't ask. By all means, do ask, the worst you should get from one is a no thank, I'm busy, etc... just don't pester them about it, respect their decision.
If someone blows up at you for asking for a D2 once in a while they have some serious issues. I don't really see much difference between asking for d2 and asking for a teleport.

As with many other forums, I believe it relates to your postcount

Here is another one:

What does 'wc' mean? People seem to use it when they go afk. Is there a literal translation? I notice it is often used by Japanese players, but wasn't totally sure about it since it is always typed in roman characters.

HA! That makes much more sense now.

I was getting the impression that it was the equivalent to 'bio', but just couldn't get it through my head what it meant. Silly American language messing up my objectivity.

What's this "static party" that everyone seems to be asking for on the server forum? Intuition tells me it's a request for a permanent group of people with which to team up and fight after reaching a certain level; am I right?

This thread has worked out really well.

Perhaps we could request that it be stickied?
