Upbeat's graphics settings

I tried Reshade couldn't find a way to minimize the setting window
I've used Dgvoodoo for years at this point

My computer is a AMD Ryzen AMD Radeon and it has a graphic setting window/application called AMD software: Adrenaline Edition or AMD Software

I decided to go with Atomos version of d3d8.dll
that can be found from this link below:
I can't really say exactly what it does vs Reshade or Dgvoodoo but atomos worked very hard to stop the lag spikes and it runs really smooth looks great the best for me so I choose to use it

my init or default.txt for ashita has this added:
/fps 0
/drawdistance setworld 10
/drawdistance setmob 10
/drawdistance setentity 10

which goes here:
#
# Important: The wait here is required! If you remove it, addons will not
# see any commands inside of this file!
#
################### DO NOT TOUCH THIS WAIT LINE ##########################
/wait 3
##########################################################################
#
/fps 0
/drawdistance setworld 10
/drawdistance setmob 10
/drawdistance setentity 10
#
##########################################################################
#
# Horizon Launcher Controlled Settings
#
##########################################################################

after the /wait 3
this is in the: C:\Users\Upbea\OneDrive\Desktop\Horizon\HorizonXI\Game\scripts file
remember it won't be Upbea on your computer it'll be the user name for your windows account so can just ignore that and go in your horizon folder to find it

next setting is going back to amd software
this is what I am using:


most important setting you need set is radeon chill turned on to idle and peak fps set to 60
/fps 0 sets your framerate to uncapped radeon chill will cap your fps to 60
also I find radeon image sharpening makes the game look amazing I just turn it all the way up and go

quick little demo of how it looks STREAMING not from recording then reposting which would be better:

Only 1 more Ebisu progress post before rod!

Was able to hit 95,000 guild points today
grabbed sea serpent's rumors & traded both gug and lik items to the npc in rabao

next step is just waiting for weekly reset on sunday
so about a day a day and 17 hours or 41 hours until I finally can grab my ebisu

as soon as I get it im finishing skilling up
maybe not all in one go because I have several other things im interested in doing
but it'll be high priority getting skill lvled up to 100

look out for a graphics settings guide later today !

Ebisu Progress 2 and other updates

Sitting at 65,000 fishing guild points
95,000 is the total amount I need
so 30,000 more
2,000 is usually what I can get daily but sometimes a 4,000 or 5,000 turn in pops up
expecting this 30,000 to take about a week and a half

been doing a lot of dunes leveling
sam is my last job under lvl 19 sam is 14
getting sam to at least 19
then leveling everything again up to 30
and I plan on leveling everything together 10 levels at a time
easier on inv to get gear that most jobs can use the melee type gear mage type gear

finished 3-5 diabolos tonight
did missions up to ouryu
slowly making progress to unlock sea
time to start saving gil for that homam set
looking like it's going to cost me between 6.4m and 7.4m
ebisu nearly costs me 8m
and I feel pretty confident I can save up that 7.4m to get the full homam set

no idea what my gph will be on gugs but I can't wait to try it out
expecting around 40k gph fishing for skill then higher on gugs
and I have my farming spots. one is a good 65k gph and the other is 60-150k gph depending on nm drops
looking at about 10 hours to make a mil
about 70 hours to farm enough gil for the homam set
seems like a lot
but really if I can do 10 hour days that is only 7 days

just read to get ebisu 100 skill and the other guild point items(apron, waders) then really see what I can make

eventually after homam after some basic gear upgrades
i'd like to level bonecraft to 100 and get all the guild items for that

once I get all jobs 66+, ebisu, 100 fishing, all fishing gp items, 100 bc, all bc gp items, homam set, and really good thf gear besides homam
then it'll be time to level digging

I don't even know why i'm worrying about getting maat's cap
it isn't even the bis ws piece for thf lol
but I guess it is fun leveling the jobs up so I get that at least

anyways, 5:30 am now, have to be awake at a specific time tomorrow so time to start getting ready for bed

Ebisu progress!!!

Tonight was the night !
Got BOTH my ebisu items tonight!
Hurray !



1/749 for gugs
1/148 for lik

only have 40k gp so still need to get about 55k gp but at least the hard part of ebisu is done
was really starting to hurt at the gil loss but that is all behind me now
nearly 9m down the drain
but it's over now
time to do gp daily which I have been putting off for about a week now but i'll get serious about it now that I have both items.
