Real hard to crack what it says, zomg.

And it's pretty easy to get to without parser, or windower. Get yourself a laptop, or another PC. Map a network drive to your log file directy, and... wow, you can open logs on another computer with notepad, and copy and paste their contents so you don't lose the information. I are genius!!!!!1111

Aside from the numbering, which I'm assuming is code for timestamps, chat type, text color, etc.. It's exactly as it appears in your chatlog.
that still not using pen and paper and still can not be done on ps2.
 
It doesn't matter what gear you have on. It parses them all and provides relevant information for you to make the call on dictated by your play style. That's the idea, simply an informational tool for those who wish to improve their performance and be damn sure they didn't screw themselves. You're the one hung up on the dick measuring contest with the other two about specific gear :P

All i'm after is it's not a cheat nor does it provide an unfair advantage over anyone but the lazy or stupid. Give me at least that and i'm gone.

Oh wow, using notepad isn't using pen and paper. Picky on your options to defend your convictions, aren't you? I guess if I used a pencil I wouldn't be doing it pen and paper either, right?

ProTip: Pen and Paper in this scenario just means you're doing math manually. This allows you to do the math manually.

agian have you seen my gear? I think not. I try have best gear possible any good player would, but calling odose and sipahi jawshan gimp that being elitist. I've never said gimp yourself even though it not considering the reson you are parsing the 2 items together in first place is because it to close to call.

Osode is gimp. Sipahgivesafuck is gimp. You're gimp. See here: http://qcdn.org/showthread.php?t=36024

Actually it can with a ps2 HD and a PC but posting how to do so might not be so kosher. It isn't exactly rocket science tho. The point is the information is there and easily accessable.

first off it not gimp because 4crit hit merit with that body pretty nice. Secondly I have a haubergeon. I was trying to find out how the crit hit worked and if it was anything like pahluwan khaz. My rdm is no wear near gimp. I'm missing few key pieces af2 hat, dalmatica, crimson mail, nash leg to be immaculate.
 
Breaks the ToS for damn sure, i'd assume. But not the XI ToS :shok:

THIS is why you use the parser. To find out.

That and it doesn't make fun of you.

Edit: Thank you skaw.

The only place this information could come from is a parser. Everything else is just random crap someone spewed out. You just asked someone to hack for you.

$50 on Chasym.
 
this is a example of and advange. It really dont matter now though parser is broken now and the dmg has already been done.

Wait, how is knowing you did more damage than someone else an example of an advantage? All it says is you now know for sure you made the right picks with gear.

And, by the way, smartass, there are other parsers besides Spyle's broken one.
 
Didn't bother reading this dribble, it's getting old and annoying responding to this every time.

Cheat - to violate rules or regulations: He cheats at cards.

Actions that could result in an unfair advantage

The following is prohibited:

- Use of any program or tool within any PlayOnline service that allows certain continuous actions to be performed automatically.
- Use of any item within any PlayOnline service that allows a certain continuous action to be performed automatically.
- Changing, combining, reverse engineering, analyzing game data, and creating or distributing related utility programs.
- Use of any unofficial program to the benefit of the user.


That's literally all you need to know to make an educated descision. It's a textbook definition with the explicit rules given by SE themselves. Both parser and windower ARE cheats. However; (Read this part because most of you morons can't grasp this tiny concept) no one gives a shit. Not the people using it, not the people arguing it is and certainly not the people who say it is a cheat, but they still remain by definition cheats. The only reason tards keep complaining it's not a cheat is because they want to feel smug and superior in the knowledge they are doing nothing wrong. If SE decides to ban you (and me and anyone who even argues it is a cheat, they most certainly use them too), then we have no reason to complain. We were warned, told it was a cheat and ignored the evidence before us. Do I really think it will happen? I give it a small chance, but given that so many use one, the other or both, I highly doubt it. So go about your day thinking thinking those ignorant thoughts, I am sure it's not the only one in your heads, but quit the stupid debates. The discussion ended months ago in pure stupidity just like every thread about cheats.
 
By their definition, so is Winamp. I can't tolerate the game music for long, so I use my own. This is obviously a personal benefit.

that what asking for others personal experiences . Not the parse results. You know the people that wear it and see if it procs crit more the normal.

it does not interface with ffxi though. winamp is like running a radio not running a program to further your gain.

You're not going to have any idea what your critical hit rate is UNLESS you parse. The only way you'd know the rate is if you kept track of every hit and which ones were criticals, but according to you no one would ever do that so the only way to find out is to use a parser. Just saying "it seems like I get more criticals" means nothing unless you have data to back it up.

If the parser is cheating, you're asking for people to cheat for you.

Then you would get 40,000 different answers.

The only way to answer your question is through a Parser.

Parser doesn't interface with FFXI. Shit, you can run it on a completely different PC than the one playing FFXI.
