Alright, so you have to go look for the assassins.
Always read the log messages in instances like that. Often the NPCs will tell you what you need to be doing.
shrewd juniper
Oh ok sorry. I must've missed that last night because I was disconnecting a bunch and getting fed up. Thank you very much.
open coral
Don't be sorry. That's why I went through the easy stuff first. Sometimes it's easy to miss obvious things because you're not expecting it to be an easy solution. 🙂

Nice, will resub by that time, thanks
vagrant tulip
is there a good place to find or buy decent SAM gear?
little swift
Poetics gear
vagrant tulip
Okay so do dungeon runs for the Poetics and cash those in?
Justcoming back to the game lol
little swift
Yup they use slaying and striking stuff
vagrant tulip
cool tytyty
little swift
Yes
1 token per floor on normal mode
And on savags chest number determined by number of people who havent cleared that week in the party
cedar compass
So you pretty much need crafted gear for savage?
little swift
2 chest for full group
Nope
Min ilvl to enter first floor is 500 next tier
But 510 will make it easier for less skilled players to survive mechanics and do more damage
510 will be needed for the third? And 4th floors though

Question: are there any low-level dungeons that give good looking Dark Knight gear for glamouring so I don't look like a tinpot knight with a claymore?
open coral
How low level are we talking here?
glacial isle
Anything that does not need the tank to be proficient in being a tank to succeed
open coral
That's not a helpful value. What actual level is your DRK?
Because that makes a difference in what I can recommend.
glacial isle
30, same as all starting DRK
open coral
Hmm. Well, while it's not "Dark Knight" themed, the Brand-New tanking set is not bad looking.
glacial isle
Can I still get that even if I got the Brand-New Mage set?
glacial isle
Ok
little swift
You can and should do all 3 versions of the hall of the novice tutorials
Dps healer and tank all have different ones
glacial isle
Only did DPS because I only played as Thaumaturge/BLM until Ishgard
but thanks for the help @open coral
small marsh
The brand new set is pretty good is equal stats to the first 3 dungeons available
open coral
Specifically, the sets are for physical dps, caster dps/healer, and tanks.
small marsh
But I like the color palette for the disciple of wars dungeon drips better. All the plundered gear

glamour is subjective
you gotta find it out yourself :/
but I think lv 50 ish will give your first artifact gear
so reach that level
open coral
45 is everything but body.

yes but that's a ways away and may as well get nice looking gear grinding dungeons

All glamour discussions go in #glamour-discussion
i don't want y'all to be yelled at by a mod
open coral
I'd argue we're still technically on-topic since it's related to a specific question, but potentially bordering on off.
open ember
Fair enough
verbal rune
There is a odin fate?
open coral
There is!
It's a special "world boss" FATE that spawns at random locations in the Shroud at regular intervals.
You know it's up if the weather becomes "Tension"
The zone music for the Shroud zones also changes to a quiet, tense sound.
patent citrus
yeh, pretty sure your novice network announces or something
open coral
Hunt LS will also generally notice and start relays when it's up.
glacial isle
can you only see it if you've bought an expansion or?
glacial isle
I do not know the sign
:V
open coral
It's a level 50 FATE
verbal rune
Any part of the shroud?
patent citrus
i think it only appears in certain weather 🤔 i'm not sure
so check out the skywatcher if you passed one
open coral
Yes. There is special weather called "Tension"
I said that earlier.
It occurs about every 48-72 hours.
glacial isle
does it only drop Melee gear?
open coral
It doesn't drop gear at all.
patent citrus
just glamour man
glacial isle
correction: does it only drop Melee glamour
open coral
It drops a special currency item that can be used to purchase the tank glamour set, or a chocobo barding.
glacial isle

when does fashion report open up this week?
and will we have time to do one fashion report before the MGP event ends?
patent citrus
unlikely
little swift
Opens up fridag
patent citrus
but maybe kaiyoko will make an exception
manic flare
kaiyoko?
patent citrus
since an event
little swift
If you do it immediately you can
If you figure out the answers on your own as well you can
Kaiyoko is the one who does the fashion report inforgraphics every week
manic flare
@little swifthow long does it take for the answers to be posted?
little swift
Whenever they feel like it 🤷♀️
open ember
but yes he's the famous fashion leader

jade lava
How can I find people to run old extreme content like the garuda boss for mounts and such?
manic flare
party finder
patent citrus
solo as lv 80 😂
manic flare
also garuda is very easily soloable
open coral
Party finder, yeah. Or just wait until you're like, level 70 and unsync them.
jade lava
Oh shit yeah that would work
jade lava
Why not?
vocal shell
they’re all soloable, just takes longer
manic flare
because the mechanics of these two bosses make them difficult to solo
bold mica
ifrit is easy to unsynch
open ember
None of the ARR fights are hard at lv80 unsync lol
manic flare
well if you have 2 people, u can skip alot of the phases
2 people make the fights go 10 times faster
since u can skip phases
open coral
Levi is easy to solo unsync.
jade lava
Is a lot of level 60/70 content easy to unsynch?
open coral
I do it as WHM all the time.
vocal shell
yes, not difficult. It just takes like a min longer
manic flare
well
open coral
Ifrit too.
open coral
They're about the same
manic flare
garuda is very easy
vocal shell
whatever you say
manic flare
no they aren't
open coral
Garuda can bug
open ember
LV70 ex fights are near impossible without a full party
vocal shell
ok stop
open coral
Yeah, even some of the 60 fights can be difficult.
manic flare
you could solo ravana
open ember
Like Suzaku ex? Nope
manic flare
he's about as hard as leviathan/ifrit
little swift
Not all 70 exs need full parties
open coral
You need at least 4 for Tsukuyomi
open ember
I mean sure but at that point you might as well do it with only a party
little swift
Lakshmi tsukuyomi byakko I know can be 3manned
little swift
All the 60s have been soloed
open coral
Thordan... can, probably?
open ember
I should've clarified not solo.... Whoops
open ember
I sure wouldn't either
manic flare
u guys talking about thordan?
open coral
Yes
open coral
Zurvan also needs at least three people to clear.
open ember
Susano?
manic flare
i mean pool of tribute
open coral
Oh, not Susano
little swift
That's suzaku
manic flare
pool of tribute
open ember
U good Aura
manic flare
to clarify
open coral
Susano could probably be soloed.
Oh
Actually maybe not
Might need 2 for that one
I don't know if the interphase is skippable or not.
manic flare
how many for shinryu?
open ember
You're better off running light party with lv70 stufr
I've 4 manned shinryu before
It is possible
little swift
For the most part 4 at least for comfiness in 70ex
open ember
You just need a whm and pld
little swift
But 3min for several of the fights
open ember
And 2 other dps
little swift
Paladin is not a necessity
open coral
Yeah, getting into level 70 stuff you really want at least 4 for the EX fights because of dps or healing checks, or tank mechs.
manic flare
shinryu fight u can fall off the platform right
open coral
Yes
manic flare
like in the titan fight
open ember
I've only done it with a PLD cuz we sure as heck tried with a DRK and it didn't work
manic flare
and levi
manic flare
i know it can. it's just super annoying to solo
open coral
Yes, you can fall off on Levi
little swift
You can be raised after falling off in shinryu
manic flare
that's why i recommend people do 2 people with levi
little swift
It really isnt that annoying
open coral
If you know how to do the fight, you don't need 2 people for Levi
Just don't fall off.
open ember
I've soloed all the ARR fights with scaevan gear
open ember
I haven't tried with shire
open coral
Shire would be pushing it, I think, even for unsync purposes.
Not impossible
But more difficult.
Scaevan is an entire order of magnitude stronger
little swift
Its the stat difference
open coral
^
wispy parcel
By level 70 all ARR fights can be solo'd easily. Except Coils and Odin of course
manic flare
anyway if you are farming for the nightmare mounts
garuda is the best one
and the fastest
after that it's probably shiva
then titan
ifrit, then levi
open coral
Nightmare only drops from Titan/Ifrit/Garuda
manic flare
actually scratch that, u can only get nightmare from titan/ifrit/garuda
open ember
Just farm Garuda until it drops
open ember
Sophia is only hard because her tlits are hard
Like you have to be on the EDGE
Or you'll fall off
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
Tilts you just need to have someone pay attention and lead everyone to the right place.
glacial isle
her tlits are hard
curse you misreading
patent citrus
totally intentional 👀
open coral
Yeah, it's doable, but only if everyone knows what they're doing and you have a tank, a healer, and a dps.
open ember
Bismark is piss easy tho
open coral
Yeah. Just need two people for that one.
For the green/blue adds.
Otherwise even an unsynced party can't kill them through their buff.
open ember
Also the dragonkillers
little swift
You can do dragonkillers alone
open ember
Save your sprint

I always see people online say that whm can go without using their gcds at this point, but as somebody who’s on free trial and capped at lv 60 i assume i’ll still have to rely on my cure 2 and medica a lot?
twilit arch
yes you're going to have still rely a fair bit on your gcds at 60
its at 80 mostly when you can basically phase out gcd heals, but that's not always true
little swift
Whm itself doesn't exactly have a lot of ogcd heals
open coral
WHM has... three ogcd heals.
little swift
But does have instant cast gcd heals
little swift
Asylum too aura
twilit arch
most of your healing can be done, at 80, thru tetra/assize/asylum as well as your lily spells
open ember
Lilies?
twilit arch
are gcd
little swift
Lilies are gcd
open coral
Oh, Asylum. I don't count that though because it's a ground effect.
open coral
After a certain point, "knowing" whether something is gcd or ogcd and when to use them becomes subconscious
open coral
They can attend, I think

The BLU log is basically a PF shortcut. It gives you different duties you can do with a full party of BLUs for bonus allied seals. I believe it changes weekly?
plain python
yeah the log
young fjord
The blue log works like your hunting log
however it's blue mage only and it's instance content and not open world

Are there any cool large or non oriental weapons for Samurai? Looking for one for glamour.
autumn oriole
@faint cloud The i485 relic weapons cost 1000 poetics each. But you can only access them if you’ve done SB alliance raids and finished 5.0 msq
gloomy ice
@dry jolt you can use a text command to make it stick most of the time. I believe /shout and /yell do not stick however
verbal rune
can I buy food from npcs? Just for the exp buff
dry jolt
And of course shout is what I was trying to make stick
young fjord
@verbal rune Yes, most major cities have them
gloomy ice
To make it a bit easier at least, type /sh before each message
That’s the text shortcut for shout chat
@empty pecan The largest is, I think?, Shin Zantetsuken. There’s at least one weapon among the leveling sets that is more like a saber than a katana. Crystarium SAM weapon is a saber as well.
deft lintel
@young fjord Maybe I'm dumb, how exactly do I do this to make it run properly?
young fjord
Have you made a shortcut on desktop?
empty pecan
Okay thanks
deft lintel
Yes
young fjord
Right click and go into properties
go to shortcut tab and do what it says, add in -issteam at the end of the target
deft lintel
Ooooh I see. I think I had the wrong shortcut. Had it from the steam game and not the .exe itself
faint cloud
So is there anything else notable worth using poetics on if I don't need any lvl 50/60/70 gear at the moment? May be a vague question sorry
autumn oriole
Get the relic weapons after you beat 5.0
They cost 1000 poetics each and are at ilevel 485
bold mica
first one is free
autumn oriole
Otherwise you can either buy stuff to sell, get old relic materials or get leveling gear for future alt leveling
faint cloud
Thanks. I am probably getting close to beating 5.0 but doing that and the alliance raids will probably take a little more time. Still have to finish the SB alliance raids too in fact (Riordana up next)

@verbal rune the percentage doesn’t go up or down until you hit the ending of its level range. PotD exp drops to near nothing once you hit level 60.
twilit arch
he means your level outside of potd
gloomy ice
Yeah 😅
twilit arch
how much exp you earn from potd is dependent on the floor and your level outside
higher floors are going to give more, with 51-60 being the most exp/time efficient

Why do we need to cap our tomes for new patch?
hasty musk
allegory tomes are gonna be traded for new crafted gear materials, phantas are gonna be tradeable for allegory iirc
twilit arch
dont technically need to, but it'll give you a leg up in 5.4 if you want to make some money
since allegory are going to replace phanta
so you'll be able to trade phanta for allegory
4:1 iirc
autumn oriole
You don’t have to cap them. But capping them before the new patch will give you a head start on the new tomestone materials
vestal needle
Oh noice! Thabks
autumn oriole
Poetics is irrelevant. But capping phantas and allegory to 2000 each would definitely help

sweet leaf
ahh, gotcha
potent shale
Yea
sweet leaf
so yeah, use free trial to get to Firmament first, then level of your gathering and crafting there
simp for lord aymeric
sweet leaf
lol
potent shale
And do estate teleportation
twilit arch
you can't leave shirogane
faint flare
No it isn't
twilit arch
you literally can't leave shirogane
so it makes no sense to call it free stormblood when you can't access anything BUT the housing district
twilit arch
faint flare
Its a terrible joke
remote lintel
kael doesnt do jokes in help and support
karmic niche
Yikes
twilit arch
best way to get shards is to grow them
boreal storm
Kill lightning sprites/ gathering
karmic niche
Do you need a house or apartment will do?
glacial isle
And for people without a house?
remote lintel
you can buy them on the mb can't you
twilit arch
gathering is a little better than killing shards
apartment is fine, but its not as good yield as a house plot
potent shale
I'm doing crafting but I didn't realise I need to get lightning shard
twilit arch
apartment can only have 2 pots, vs 8 plots(potentially more if you have a bigger house)
potent shale
Weaver hell for me
remote lintel
you can buy them on the mb if youre not on free trial
twilit arch
ultimately tho, yes buying shards from the mb is defacto fast
cedar compass
Will they release a new map type for 5.4
silver ruin
no, add things to zonure skin map
faint flare
No
cedar compass
Or zoureskin will still be the high end one
Ah ok
So I better stock up before right

Hey guys, what's the best way to use yellow scrips for gil? Materia or Demimateria?
twilit arch
assuming you're talking about king demimateria?
stable walrus
Clear demimateria III
twilit arch
You can't buy clear demimateria with yellow scrips
stable walrus
you can buy rings and desynth
twilit arch
wouldn't use scrips to buy gear to desynth to make gil tbh
especially not clear demimateria
i would recommend checking the prices on materia vs slithersand
crimson wind
What do you need for Sartauvoir 1v1
twilit arch
and buy one of those
stable walrus
Interesting. I saw a video on youtube and they said desynth could make a decent amount of gils. I just want to check if anyone try this before.
twilit arch
desynth can make decent gil
but your goal is generally not clear demimateria
its things like sublime solution and primal crafting items that you can sometimes get from desynthing their weapons
glacial isle
is buying an apartment/house possible on the Free Trial?
twilit arch
which in turn are used to craft the primal crafted weapons
no, because apartment is 500k gil
glacial isle
can FT not hold 500k gil?
silver ruin
300k
glacial isle
ofc
stable walrus
Thanks Kaelwryn, I wonder if you guys know any discord that have gil making guide
silver ruin
theres not actually a guide for that as i know
on discords anyway
youtube stuff might be outdated but it might be worth looking at? other than that, crafting, roulettes, quests, the game kinda throws it at you
twilit arch
a lot of it is also looking at the marketboard and see what people are buying
silver ruin
^its gonna vary based on server
twilit arch
for me personally, a lot of my gil came from making base materials (ingots/leather/lumber etc) and selling that
since most end game crafters are lazy and have a lot of money so making those things are not worth the time for them
doing treasure maps and getting lucking in the treasure dungeons are also decent ways of making gil since you can potentially get rare crafting materials for glamour items
that sell for a lot
silver ruin
coffee biscuit leves are also a thing, but you need a lv 78 cul...or you gotta buy em off the mb for aprofit loss
twilit arch
right now, bozja is a pretty decent gil maker. farming clusters and selling the hair/mount can be lucrative or getting lucky with lockboxes
small marsh
I still feel like I don’t really understand what people use Gil for
stable walrus
I also heard about coffee biscuit trick. Is it better compare to crafting collectable?
twilit arch
or can do eureka and farm those lockboxes since not many people are doing eureka anymore so those items are less in supply
silver ruin
theres not much to use it for tbh, housing and glamourmostly
or if you want stuff off the mb you cant make/get yourself
small marsh
I asked about buying gear on Mb and everyone told me there’s basically zero point cause tome gear is best
silver ruin
idk what you're crafting with collectables akira but https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/juivwe/how_to_make_1800000_gil_in_an_afternoon_with/ sums coffee biscuits up
twilit arch
generally not going to recommend buying gear from mb, while you're leveling
silver ruin
^
small marsh
But what about at 80
twilit arch
for end-game, buying crafted gear is ok
silver ruin
you gotta use leves though for coffee biscuits and you only get 6 a day so
twilit arch
because it can let you skip grinding for gear to get to the latest content
twilit arch
neo-ish is basically enough to do most content right now
silver ruin
so thats more money its gona cost
twilit arch
5.4's crafted gear is going to be hot demand by raiders who are pushing world first/week one clears of savage
so it'll be fairly expensive as a means of quickly gear as a new/returning player
but its an option if you have the gil
silver ruin
^ butunless you're planning on doing the new savage tier, neo ishgard is fine
leaden ginkgo
hey where do you find the person to access a9s savage?
silver ruin
and generally not recommended to buy the new stuff unless you got gil to waste
silver ruin
gotta do the preceding 8
frank walrus
if i wanted to start learning the harder stuff, would memoria misera be a good one to try or not rly? i kinda want that dyeable af gear u_u
remote lintel
eh
silver ruin
memoria is a decent start, its an ex trial
but ex trials dont really compare to savage
remote lintel
I think innocence ex is one of the easier ones
silver ruin
^
remote lintel
but people might not play that anymore
leaden ginkgo
damn are the savage alexanders hard?
silver ruin
no
leaden ginkgo
so basically slightly harder than normal?
remote lintel
no
leaden ginkgo
I tank but I'd prob do ot
silver ruin
depends on your level
leaden ginkgo
I'm level 79
silver ruin
if you unysnc it you can duo it at 80
remote lintel
so people unsync
silver ruin
besides maybe 12
small marsh
How much Gil is considered a lot
leaden ginkgo
how do you unsync?
small marsh
Like if I wanted to buy neo ishgard tank gear
leaden ginkgo
should I solo it?
silver ruin
maybe 600k for a set?
remote lintel
@small marsh tens of millions
frank walrus
thank you! i heard that ex trials are a stepping stone to savage which is why i thought it wouldn't be a bad start 
silver ruin
little less
small marsh
Tens of millions pog
remote lintel
wait
small marsh
Okay I don’t have that
remote lintel
for what
remote lintel
oh
small marsh
Oh I can afford that
remote lintel
I thought you meant in general
silver ruin
probably cheaper now
remote lintel
yeah
small marsh
👀
agile laurel
@frank walrus it varies. some savages are somewhat easier than some ex trials
leaden ginkgo
you were saying duo so should I do 2 player or 1?
agile laurel
but it helps for sure
silver ruin
dont get the weapon though,ge tthe 80 relic
small marsh
Pog
silver ruin
gathering light, you want afull party then
small marsh
I’ll think bout it
remote lintel
close to a full party
small marsh
I’m still in HW
silver ruin
wellwhatever it is
small marsh
leaden ginkgo
ok I see thx
silver ruin
you can duo the ones up to it if you use current ilv weapons
but for farming light full party or close to is recommended
leaden ginkgo
do I need to have my anima weapons used during the whole fight or just equip them right before leaving?
because I have substantially better weapons rn
like do I need them equipped to gather light or does it do it if I just equip
remote lintel
you need them equipped for the last boss
so basically have it equipped all the time
little swift
you need to kill the last boss
little swift
its easier just to keep it on the entire time
little swift
you just have to be attentive to mechanics
remote lintel
it takes like 40 mins
leaden ginkgo
hmmm as I recall there isn't that much here which is crazy maybe I should watch a9s beforehand?
little swift
no, just make sure you don't neglect the power cell mechanic
remote lintel
you dont need to
little swift
and that the adds die inside the correct quadrants of the map
leaden ginkgo
power cell?
agile night
on pc, is there any way to have the launcher remember my password? I use a password manager, much prefer to have that generate a strong password than one I need to remember.
little swift
you pick them up and drop them near the scrap metal to spawn adds
leaden ginkgo
oh so the mechanics are totally the same?
little swift
more or less tbh
leaden ginkgo
I am off tank so I don't really do much of that anyways
at least when I ot I chill with tank and if he looks like he's going to die I iron will and switch quick
then release it when he heals
little swift
you can do it with 1 tank
agile laurel
you don't even need to do power cell mechanic on a9s unsynced full party
leaden ginkgo
I was told we need full party for light?
agile laurel
it dies literally before even that
little swift
full party will make it easier and quicker
leaden ginkgo
what does unsynced mean? I thought unsynced means it's not a full party?
leaden ginkgo
oh how do I access that?
little swift
so you don't get synced to 60
worn bone
walked to a quest marker but nothing is there...
the quest is called Lurkers in the Grotto
little swift
select undersized party
leaden ginkgo
so the party reduces in number in order to have higher level gear?
remote lintel
@worn bone is it above or below you
leaden ginkgo
is this what you'd recommend for light gathering?
remote lintel
no
little swift
should be something to interact with payneful
remote lintel
you can have as many party members as you want
little swift
the party doesn't reduce
worn bone
its out in the open @remote lintel
little swift
you just go in with whatever number of people you have
leaden ginkgo
I see
little swift
it bypasses the restrictions needed
boreal storm
What step are you on payne
little swift
its inside teh cave iirc
leaden ginkgo
where do you access duty finder settings?
hasty musk
top left, it's the gear symbol
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
ok so I did it, but now what do I wait when it pops up commence?
remote lintel
you turn on unsync and commence the duty like normal
warped nest
Undersized party means 3 things
- ignore party size and composition restrictions
- ignore level and item level syncing
- bypass match making
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel I did and I was the only one lol
leaden ginkgo
oh, how do you do that?
remote lintel
if you queue by yourself then youll be by yourself
leaden ginkgo
sry never done this before
leaden ginkgo
I see, thx
warped nest
I want to remind you that undersized party is not a match making filter
leaden ginkgo
@warped nest so now that I have party finder up, do I wait for that to fill first?
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
hmm can the a9s light gathering quest be done with level 60 too?
or does it take waaaay longer
leaden ginkgo
@little swift did you do it with uncynced level? you said 40 mins it took
remote lintel
yes
little swift
yes i did it unsynced
remote lintel
40 mins unsynced
little swift
with sync it requires more skill
leaden ginkgo
did it take you long to find a party?
halcyon ivy
Can you party up and befriend other players on the trial?
remote lintel
you cant invite people to a party and you cant friend people
but you can BE invited

short sparrow
If you need a dungeon for the MSQ and the queues seem to be dead, is it considered OK etiquette to ask in /novice for help?
short sparrow
If I just continue queueing do they just join, or do I need to exit the queue and requeue as a party?
slender sphinx
Hey guys. Just hit level 50 on Monk and don't know what the opener combo or general combo is now that perfect balance and dragon kick are a thing
different guides tell me different combos
so i'm pretty confused
faint flare
Monk is basically "Do i have this forms buff/debuff? If yes, use the damage skill of that form...if use the buff skill of that form"
Do you have dragon kick up and you're in Opo opo? Use bootshine otherwise use Dragon kick
Do you have Twin snakes up in Raptor? If yes use True strike, otherwise twin snakes
Is demolish up in courel? If yes snap punch. If no use demolish
slender sphinx
I understood that concept before 50 but now perfect balance exists
and idk what dragon kick does really
faint flare
Dragon kick buffs your next bootshine
wheat plume
where in mogstation can I buy a retainer?
slender sphinx
Also some nerd on youtube is telling me to put aoe in my normal rotation?
faint flare
Perf balance is for rapidly generating GL stacks with Snap punch...if you already have GL3/4, alternative dragon kick and bootshine, using 1 courel skill to extend GL
slender sphinx
faint flare
You use the aoe skills at 3+ mobs
That image is just showing you what form is what skoll
slender sphinx
but the imageabove doesnt even make sense and doesnt grant me grease lightning
faint flare
You only generate GL when you're in Courel
warped nest
Doing the moves in Coeurl stance gives GL
faint flare
And you use Snap/demolish/Rockbrwaker
warped nest
!action Snap Punch
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
(or when you use Courel skills under Perfect balance)
warped nest
See Additional Effect: Grant's Greased Lightning

Dragon kick and perfect balance doesn't change much
wheat plume
I've just bought a retainer in mog station, how can I use it? Retainer Vocate only has limit for hiring the 2 free retainers. Or should I restart the game?
faint flare
Dragon kick is alternated every opo opo stance
Pb generates you GL stacks fast
Or for dragon kick/bootshine spam
slender sphinx
Ok but he also says to do this as an opener and that I get 3 GL stacks on the 2nd snap punch
no I dont
wait nvm im going crazy
It does give me 3 stacks

They're all in the same location
