zealous meteor
#

its ass i fear

#

(hasn't listened to it)

vestal hollow
#

wow

zealous meteor
#

(i just wanna be a contrarian)

vestal hollow
#

thats real hater energy

zealous meteor
vestal hollow
#

seriously though, wf has been doing a very good job with its music the last few years

#

i do like xiv's music but

clear plume
#

My characters lore is she is a sky pirate bc they’re cool

whole estuary
#

it reminds me of WoW music

robust shoal
#

this feels like a depressingly low bar

zealous meteor
rain geode
#

With how many people use lore inaccurate glams I feel like it's the reverse

pale blade
#

lore accurate glams is so funny in FF14

whole estuary
#

does it really matter when people can't even make lore accurate races

pale blade
#

no

#

they can't even make lore-accurate housing wards

#

why yes I'm gonna have a paissa house in Empyreum and you fuckers can't do shit about it

whole estuary
pale blade
#

alright here's mine

jaunty pulsar
#

I finally found what's making me type in chat while doing my rotations. Since I use ctrl and alt binded to my mouse keys and I also use q, z, e, t, r and f in my hotbars I probably end up pressing this once in a while

#

would you remove them if you never use them? I generally click on the chat bubble to change chat mode

whole estuary
#

I removed them close to when I started playing

jaunty pulsar
#

I dunno why I haven't figured it out before

dapper zealot
#

I have mine on my numpad

jaunty pulsar
#

makes sense

#

I'll save the screenshot just in case I want to revert

pale blade
#

I don't even have a numpad because I'm using a tkl

whole estuary
#

i just remember the commands like /p, /y, /shout

jaunty pulsar
#

I didn't start using letters in my hotbars long ago, so that's why I probably didn't realise this was the issue

zealous meteor
#

i only have reply, party, cwls, and ls bound

#

because those don't conflict with any buttons

loud swift
#

i havent fully wrote her out yet

daring pine
#

oh i need this

#

do you have the original

zealous meteor
#

here

jolly flume
#

I just don't have lore

#

🥀

#

me make cute character and hit boss

timber stratus
#

my lore is kill raid boss

loud swift
#

my character gets trafficked and wakes up in a burning boat because im too lazy/dont wanna write family

#

and she stabs

jolly flume
#

hey you

#

you're finally awake...

timber stratus
#

my character gets caught trying to cross the border, if he stole a horse he could be halfway to hammerfell

daring pine
zealous meteor
#

waow

#

half the "lore" of my wol is just to explain why she has a miqo'te name despite being a popoto

jolly flume
#

adopted shortly after birth or something idk

#

I tried to do somewhat lore accurate names when I started and gave up after two fantasias

zealous meteor
#

so she ticks "has family that isn't blood related" and "removed from clan/family"

timber stratus
#

my first name was fork xivsucks

#

came from wow so i wanted ragebait

wicked delta
#

i feel like if ur wol you killed a lot of ppl as is

zealous meteor
#

yeah

Me when

rain geode
#

Never wrote a backstory for my character only headcannoning I really do is based around what job they are

visual geyser
#

I have background lore for my character that probably conflicts with some shit because viera aren’t allowed to be anywhere cool edgeypaissa

rain geode
shy obsidian
#

Do the blacksmithing and armorsmithing guilds count as shops

visual geyser
rain geode
#

I've never considered where my WoL grew up

visual geyser
#

Do rp’ers consider their characters classes instead of jobs? I imagine actually being jobs is very rare for people

#

Like WHM for example

quick verge
#

last chance to get 50 CLL achievement

proper cave
#

I’ve seen people refer to jobs as entirely separate people. Completely different entity entirely despite being the same character. Like assigning pronouns to their jobs.

New additions wil make it easy trust

I tried casting a living spell on pf

#

Did it work?

visual geyser
#

can’t wait for patch woo

rain geode
#

Can't wait for people to actually be playing the game

tired egret
#

welp... couldn't get a run going for T8S... i'll just go and play Mahjong

#

got 2nd Dan & very close to 1.6k rating...

dapper zealot
#

took me a second to remember was raid T was

clear plume
#

Are you implying using T just because it was in the duty finder name isn’t very memorable for later on and was a bad idea in hindsight

visual geyser
#

chaotic is actually impossible

zealous meteor
#

8.0 raid should start with T so that we retroactively have to use B for bahamut

loud nymph
#

it should start with M so we should be forced to use something else and the R crew from Dawntrail gets proven correct

rain geode
#

I mean I feel like we should just start using 2 letter codes but that's just me

visual geyser
#

Same

Man I love the days b4 patch ez materia money

Ok

zealous meteor
#

wait was bahamut actually in mogtomes at some point???

tired egret
#

Probably an earlier mogtome event thing idk

zealous meteor
#

huh pageantry 2021 included two extremes

#

that sure is a decision to make

#

with those not being in roulettes

loud nymph
#

it was honestly the best way to do it

#

because you just got 7 BLUs and a tank

#

and annihilated t2

#

because the boss is susceptible to missile

rapid whale
#

then why is machinist weak /s

dapper zealot
#

I don't even

undone tide
#

purged my inventory and its fucking beautiful

loud swift
#

wow. I need to do that

dapper zealot
#

I'll never understand letting inventories get messy

rain geode
#

I mean this game has so much crap it floods your inventory with

turbid haven
#

Haven't played for a couple months, anyone else feel like the subscription price is a little high? I finish new content in like 1-2 days then im kind of stuck in dailies limbo after

undone tide
#

no

#

find something to do

#

there is always something

#

there’s 10 years of content

rain geode
#

15 is pretty standard I feel

undone tide
#

people will say they have nothing to do and then have never touched even an extreme trial

#

not accusing just generalizing

zealous meteor
#

"there is nothing to do" means "there is nothing i want to do"

#

which is fine

undone tide
#

trying out a new banner pic…

#

maybe its better with a diff filter

wicked delta
#

I like the first one more imo

wicked delta

But the content still exists

They jsut dont wanna do it lol

loud nymph
#

gotta stockpile orange scrip collectibles because reasons

shy obsidian
#

sooooo do I need overmelding for combat gear in the first week?

loud nymph
#

are you aiming to clear the entire savage tier in the first week of it being available? if so, yes

shy obsidian
#

I managed to get Dancing Green done within the first week hehe

loud nymph
#

then no

shy obsidian
#

but i forgot if i overmelded completely or not

true beacon
#

See what tomes can get you first

shy obsidian
#

surely I can pentameld... SURELY

rain geode
shy obsidian
#

I also have a ton of those crystals in reserve too

#

like ZAMN

rapid whale
#

Iirc it's like 100 12s and 300 11s for average luck

#

Should be? Ok unless your unlucky

rain geode
#

for one piece? I dont think its nea that much.

#

I think its also higher for accessories as well since you only get 1 slot iirc

shy obsidian
#

I'm planning to learn samurai for this tier
pray for meee

rain geode
#

Cause the overmelds odds are if Im reading the wiki right 17/10/7/5

rapid whale
#

For a whole set

rain geode
#

ok then yeah that should be more accurate tho itll also be less this tier because youll have 3 tome pieces ideally

rapid whale
#

Yeap

rain geode
#

each piece you want to penta meld should be about 5 XII's 30 XI's

#

well I guesss 7 XII's including the 2 normal meld slots

shy obsidian
#

I'm a crafter and a gatherer
i'm prepared to feel pain in melding

rapid whale
#

Three weeks to prep it's all good

rain geode
#

thats for left for right Itll be about the same XII's but another 20ish XI's

rapid whale
#

I think the worst screen shot I saw of a 12 slot was 147

#

Generationally bad luck

daring pine
#

@loud nymph

#

it's time

jagged aspen
#

erm i forgot how subscription works. i just add payment method and let it sort itself out? or do i need to click anything after

#

oh right, found it. i wonder if anyone actually pays for this though 😄

sick dirge
#

the weeaboo police probably

#

thats a joke

zealous meteor
#

nope, vast majority of them are trial accounts

#

except the main one that's a mentor

sick dirge
pale blade
#

a comedy in two parts

sick dirge
#

lol

boreal pumice
#

filthy beg

pale blade
#

I think the best part was that they were doing markedly less DPS than both me and the tank

jagged aspen
#

err what? thats all gatherers guiles XI on light?

sleek moon
shy obsidian
#

should I save my tomestones of mathematics or is it alright to spend em?

undone tide
#

oh my fucking god

#

why is someone undercutting by 50%

shy obsidian
#

also uh remind me... is saving a wondrous tails for next patch a good idea or will it just be tomestones and nothing else

rain geode
pale blade
shy obsidian
#

so yeah

#

no then

versed kayak
pale blade
#

Same

#

I pay every six months as well

#

my rationale being that entry costs the same over the same period of time but I would also like to forget about paying until then

versed kayak
#

also 6 months of not having to worry about payment issues on SEs end

#

never know when they'll shuffle stuff around again

ember quartz

that means not bad right

wicked delta
ember quartz
#

bruh

trim frost
#

as someone who's done both fights blind/mine

wicked delta
#

its more that o2 isnt a real fight

dapper zealot
#

In my professional opinion as someone who hasn't done savage

#

You'll be fine :)

wicked delta
#

so like lol

trim frost
#

yeah

#

o3 is a real puzzle of a fight

#

o2 is

#

fleshy member :3

wicked delta
#

the step up is huge bc o2 is a meme

ember quartz
#

o2 was fun

#

o2s*

#

but lets see how this goes

trim frost

i like the gravity gimmick a lot honestly

ember quartz

wish me luck

trim frost

in o3 you can get a lot of 'weird' responsibilities

"If you were to die here it would certainly save me trouble"

alpine plover

I dont queue experts

Too often

#

I forgot he is there

craggy marsh
#

I wanna pull that stupid tube out from his neck

rain geode
#

I needed to cap my maths and expert gives a lot

#

Im also running my roulettes because I finally started the DT relic so I need to cap my helio before 7.4 and I need to fill the balls

novel garden
#

I was capped on my scripts

pale blade
#

actually kinda lucky that crafter mentor didn’t blow up in my face this morning

#

I can imagine the earful I would’ve gotten if they did

novel garden
#

A crafting mentor blowing up?

pale blade
#

they asked for comms

#

I said no

#

got comms from the other two players in the dungeon

novel garden
#

Oh

pale blade
#

how fragile does your ego have to be to be like that

novel garden
#

Now I can't say on every crafting mentor but for being one I couldn't bother raging

craggy marsh
#

What the hell does a crafter mentor even do?

#

have good crafting macros?

#

use teamcraft?

pale blade
#

take up space unfortunately

#

I gotta breathe the same air as them too

craggy marsh
#

it's almost as useless as a pvp mentor

#

pvp mentors are some of the most useless statuses out there

novel garden
#

True tbh the crown... Well damn I can't even validate anything on it for even like "let ppl know u can repair without saying anything" lol

amber fable
#

Mentor is useless

#

Ftfy

#

W/e tag it maybe

zealous meteor
#

a trade mentor SHOULD be able to explain all the gathering nodes, how to make good macros, gearing etc

but they don't

amber fable
#

Neither does a combat mentor tells how to play game

novel garden
#

Even then majority of the time they prob afk in novice network I have just like a month ago was finally able to get in it on midgard

zealous meteor
#

at least you actually have to play the game to get combat mentor

craggy marsh
#

They should remove the mentor mount just to see how many people actually want to be a mentor

#

There doesnt need to be a reward for helping people

#

Helping people is the reward

novel garden
#

I didn't even know there was a mount for mentor

zealous meteor
#

they should replace the icon with a watering can

craggy marsh
#

I think it's weird you can get pvp mentor without playing pvp

#

I play pvp once a day and yet im qualified as pvp mentor...somehow

pale blade
#

well whatever the case I'm much more qualified as a mentor than this one, uh, special person on my server

rain geode
#

I forget pvp mentor exists

pale blade
#

to be fair this isn't a high bar anyway

zealous meteor

#

I also got a PLD in my alliance that used Cover on me at every single opportunity

#

I can see the fedora on him and he's tipping it menacingly

#

why are paladins

#

they should remove pld and war from th egame

I can't wait for this tier to be over. I haven't done savage since week like... 18? And I cleared on 12, but still lol

pale blade
#

Same

#

It's the first tier I genuinely enjoyed since Promise but that's because EW's Savage tiers were overall ass

#

Maybe I was too harsh on M7S because it was a third floor fight

#

I also lost count of how many times I recleared M8S beyond my initial week 11 clear

how often do demiatams drop from normal zone fates?

versed kayak

5% same as OC fates

#

only CEs have a 20% drop rate

blissful notch

#

No

#

so I was not doing something wrong and just unlucky for having 0 atmas dropped from 45 fates
ty for answers feels good to know that at least

RNG is just RNG unfortunately

Yeah I did like 90% of my atma farming in OC because 5% is so small

I don't know if I'll ever do forked but figured I'd do CEs for my relic in case I ever do

check if you can buy ciphers from expedition antiquarian

#

Sanguine ciphers?

ember quartz
#

ye

if u can buy them u have it unlocked

auroral mirage weather go to the pavillion in the middle and put a cipher in

if u have 24 players u go in FT so just use pf/discord

the atmas

ember quartz
#

oh

#

uh

rain geode
#

0% if memory serves

ember quartz
#

idk doesnt it count like a CE for yellow ones?

rain geode
#

Unless I'm mistaken they don't drop from tower right?

sleek moon
#

forked tower has no CEs

ember quartz
#

forked tower strictly speeaking is a CE no?

#

with that i mean that strictly speaking on magi kill you could get a yellow demiatma

sleek moon
#

strictly speaking... not really coded like one

#

same as CLL

dapper zealot
#

You don't get atma from forked

ember quartz
#

i mean true i guess by that logic you could get the CE memories from CLL

#

still ,do forked

#

Ehhhh maybe later

round burrow
#

I'm forced to suffer current content savage with a friend so I kinda have to pentameld my combat gear

#

(Aka the il770 one)

rapid whale
#

have fun

undone tide
#

you don’t need to pentameld

#

unless you’re trying to finish week 1

#

you’ll also have 3 weeks of tomes available

#

4*

loud nymph
#

if you're not going to be aiming to clear m12s in the first 2 weeks it is super unnecessary

zealous meteor
#

im aiming to clear m12 week 1
m12 normal that is

rain geode
#

Yeah if you want to save a bit more to you can replace some of the worse crafted pieces with Normal raid gear as well since you can't penta meld that

round burrow
#

I'm not gonna overmeld it

rain geode
#

I'm gonna aim for a w1 clear even if I doubt I can get it

round burrow
#

That's the thing just maybe 2 or 1 extra meld or so..

loud nymph
round burrow
#

I meant not overexceeding beyond 5 melds.

loud nymph
#

????

terse zodiac
#

you cant go past 5

round burrow
#

or having exactly 5 melds

loud nymph
#

5 melds is always the max

round burrow
#

I know

rain geode
#

Isn't 5 just the max period?

loud nymph
#

yes

daring pine
#

yes

loud nymph
#

it is not possible to ever go past 5

round burrow
#

😭 I can't explain it right lmao

#

I meant having 1 or 2 red melds Not 5

loud nymph
#

ok but that's still overmelding

daring pine
#

so you are overmelding

#

just not penta

terse zodiac
#

you cant do 5 red melds

#

you can have 5 total melds

loud nymph
#

the maximum number of melds on any piece, period, is 5. sometimes that means 4 overmelds and sometimes it means only 3, depending on the gearslot

round burrow
#

just extra stats that I'd preferably want/have

#

ig?

#

Fuck if I know

loud nymph
#

honestly and genuinely, if you are not doing m12s in the first week, there is about a 0% chance you notice the difference

round burrow
#

Alr

terse zodiac
#

its about a 5% difference on the weakest stat, turns a 4% enrage to a kill

#

if full team goes from non penta to penta

rain geode
#

That is a lot but I assume the assumption is if you not w1 specifically your probably gonna get some clears fo M9-11 and have some more access to 760 gear anyway

loud nymph
#

pretty much, yeah - if you're going to take several weeks or even months to clear / reclear 9-11 to get your best in slot gear there before clearing 12 then the added stats from penta will really not have a noticeable effect, the first 2 floors are never tuned to the point where penta is required

terse zodiac
#

we're definitely coming in with a lot more gear than normal so yeah penta is less helpful this tier

loud nymph
#

4 weeks of tome gear + ex weapon

#

potentially 4 or 5 slots where you wouldn't be able to penta

#

depending on weapon substats for some jobs, I guess

terse zodiac
#

will they actually tune it higher for more gear or will we have a super easy week 1 NecoArcThink

wicked delta
#

Iirc they did say they’re gonna be tuning the dps check a bit to keep the tome gear in mind

rain geode
#

Then again next expansion is going to give us 13s and 14s right? So maybe you might as well penta meld if you have a stack already.

loud nymph
terse zodiac
#

iirc last time they said that it was super lenient

rain geode
#

Maybe it's selfish but I wouldn't complain if this tier is a little easier

loud nymph
#

I kinda want m12s to have a door boss so phase 2 might have some more interesting mechanics

#

m4s and m8s both have been really lacking in phase 2 mechanics

rain geode
#

So I have three whole as weeks to farm train ex right?

terse zodiac
#

yeah

rain geode
#

Might actually prioritize learning tsukoymi unreal first then lol

Like what do I need that Gil for?

zealous meteor
#

yan horn

jolly flume
#

making your prog and gearing less painful

#

that's like the #1 thing to spend gil on if you raid

wicked delta
#

To give to your ekitten

jolly flume
#

you pay for non-dogshit players and loot

wicked delta
#

*Non dogshit players not guaranteed

jolly flume
#

it's guaranteed if you actually have the balls to kick people who suck

#

if you're mercing you really should be doing that or what are you paying for lol

rain geode
#

I hope nobody has the balls to kick me when I suck

daring pine
#

kicked and blacklisted a gnb for having all greys

#

buddy you are not clearing me

rain geode
#

Oh wait I'll just make the party then I can decide who lives and dies

daring pine
#

i love putting up a merc pf and the people "helping" me clear are doing worse

rain geode
#

Ok so I capped my tomes like everyone told me to so they are used to buy the materials for the 770 gear?

loud nymph
#

yeah the new materials will be from mathematics tomes

#

when everything non limited gets bumped down to them

jolly flume
#

oh yeah I didn't cap yet

#

time to call up cousin otto

boreal pumice
#

paissaowo looking forward to the highly congested trains

rain geode
#

Alright and should I cash them out and just buy the 770 gear closer to the tier drop? Or should I get the materials and ebeg a crafter to make it for me if I give them the materials?

loud nymph
#

I would do the former since the value of those mats will likely plummet the further you get from patch

rain geode
#

(I don't have my own crafters leveled yet)

jolly flume
#

usually they'll ask for you to provide the mats, then charge a fee to craft them on top

#

but yeah you can dump them for quite a bit of gil on patch day

loud nymph
#

and the value of the crafted set will also nosedive in the 3 weeks we have to wait

jolly flume
#

then buy them later on

rain geode
boreal pumice
#

mewpaissa i love path days with crafted gear

round burrow
#

i just craft for close friends if they just drop it into my inv through trade

rain geode
#

I guess the only other consideration is if I need the ilevel to do the normal mode content they're adding so to the patch notes I go

loud nymph
#

you'll probably need like 730-740 for heavyweight normal

#

oop, 745

#

close enough

rain geode
#

I'm good for all the normal content now but I might have to buy a few 770 pieces early to hit 760 for ex train

loud nymph
#

tbh a lot of pfs will probably lock it to 770+

#

so you may be better off starting your own pf

rain geode
#

Makes sense I had to do that quite a bit anyway when I was starting to dip my toes into high end earlier this patch because everyone had stuff locked to 750

probably gets asked quite a bit but whats the best way of farming Tomestones Of Heliometry? wanna try get a few more relics done before tuesday

dapper zealot
#

roulettes and hunt trains

brittle lava
#

thought so, thank you gets dragged away

dapper zealot
#

hmmm should I commit the rest to DH

jolly flume
#

you'll almost certainly need more dh than that anyway

#

especially if you play a support

dapper zealot
#

nah these are just for stonks

#

actually yeah, I'll hard commit the rest into dh, it doesn't fluctuate as much as det

jolly flume
#

dh is always more in demand for the reason I mentioned

zealous meteor
#

which one's DH

#

the last one?

dapper zealot
#

yee

jolly flume
#

they all look the same lol

spice path
#

Should I start selling my materia now, or wait for patch day? I've stockpiled probably 5x the xiis i need through clusters lol.

timber stratus
#

save it for when people come back and go OMG I HAVE TO PENTAMELD FOR EXTREME

dapper zealot
#

I listed mine with a 30% markup

spice path
#

Lol me. I mean im doing savage w1 too (tho I doubt we will get more then 9, maybe 10 done w1 depending.) But still lol

timber stratus
#

yeah but realistically unless ur intending to clear final fight week 1 u dont need to pentameld, some people dont seem to get that and just spend way too much money anyway

#

im only gonna meld the open slots and wait to see what tome stuff im gonna grab

timber stratus
#

yuh

#

i used to make all my money by doing hunts all patch and selling materia on raid patches

dapper zealot
#

My listing is about halfway inbetween, most of the cheaper listings are small handfuls so those will sell out immediately

spice path
#

I'm only making/melding pieces i won't be replacing in the 4weeks before savage. And only using what I have, no buying. Then selling the extras. I've been stacking the clusters for a while, while doing hunt trains religiously.

#

And spending my nuts on materia too.

timber stratus
#

im gonna let the bard nerds figure out if we want any normal raid pieces for a budget set before i get anything crafted

spice path
#

Yeah no crafting until the balance figures the prog bis out lol. Just gathering. Selling mats. Maybe craft a few things for selling.

#

This set might last price wise because glam. We'll see.

#

We are in uncharted waters.

timber stratus
#

I dont pay for it anyway WICKED

#

ill just tell someone in my static to make it for me

spice path
#

Lol I make all my own. Never made any to sell before because I hate gathering. But this time I did a bunch of pre gathering. So I should just need new mats.

dapper zealot
#

Been letting my retainers gather my prep stuff

spice path
#

Them too. Especially those pesky hunt ones that otherwise cost bicolors.

dapper zealot
#

thankfully I checked some prep predictions and realised I'm missing some stuff

boreal pumice
#

im happy enough to gather on patch day its chill

trim frost
#

prep sounds like a hassle

dapper zealot
#

the majority of my prep is through my retainers anyways so it's been pretty hands off

trim frost
#

what is there to prep anyway besides like maxing scrips / collectables for scrips

heady flare
trim frost
#

oh

#

that's fine then

#

i'm pretty stocked on levinchrome

wicked delta
#

How many do u have

dapper zealot
#

supposedly some of the 7.0 mats like thunderyards silk, rakaznar etc are gonna be used so I have a bit of those

heady flare
#

if you want to go the extra mile you can also prep a stack of Thunderyards Silk/Black Star/Gargantua Leather/Magnesia Whetstone

trim frost
#

enough to make my own gear at least

heady flare
#

they are base 7.0 crafting mats but i think they will still be included for next patch

loud nymph
#

I have a few

trim frost
#

i don't reaaally care to do more than that

wicked delta
#

Damn

#

I have like

#

130 in stock

#

Should get some more idk

trim frost
#

only if you care to sell them

heady flare
#

i don't blame you, most people stopped stockpiling once they made their ilvl 750 DoH/DoL gear

dapper zealot
#

I started prepping quite a while ago, plus I had some extra mats from crafting other stuff. Then I got my scrip mats

trim frost
#

yooo is that sykon deez

random needle
#

If I was smart, I'd try to get more of that stuff... but I'll probably just gun for it on patch day

wicked delta
#

Same I really dgaf

heady flare
#

to this day people still debate between sykon deez nuts vs stuffed peppers as most efficient purple scrip recipe xD

trim frost
#

also wait

#

why do we know that condensed solution is going to continue to be used

#

i forgot why i even have some in the first place

heady flare
#

based on previous expansions, we have samples

trim frost
#

you can get some from uhhh cosmocredits right

heady flare
#

yes. or 125 orange scrips

trim frost
#

fuck that lmao

dapper zealot
#

really the only mat I'm """concerned""" about prepping is Gargantua leather cause I only get like 12 per hour from my retainer, and fuck gathering it myself

trim frost
#

cosmocredits are free.99

heady flare
#

this is for diadochos gear in endwalker, Immutable Solution is the 125 purple scrip mat in endwalker

#

it's safe to assume condensed solution is its equivalent in dawntrail

trim frost
#

ok i just bought like 60

dapper zealot
#

more than enough

random needle
#

Yeah I'll probably get some more sand at least

#

Since gathering collectables makes me sad

dapper zealot
#

how much more do I want is the real question

heady flare
#

you can passively earn like 20 each week via Custom Delivery

#

12 deliveries, for 2400 orange scrips (deliver to clients with crafting bonuses ofc)

loud nymph
#

yeah, I have a couple thousand scrips worth of collectibles stockpiled to sell off condensed solutions

dapper zealot
#

oh wtf, I wasn't paying attention and I made a nq black star

#

it's over

jagged aspen
#

does anyone know under which conditions tomestone shows this alt icon

#

my main clear was earlier than alt but it says i cleared on alt >.>

trim frost
#

i assume that means you have your alt linked to your main profile

jagged aspen
#

ye, it normally appears when you clear something on another character from the one im looking at

trim frost
#

do you want it to like

#

not show up...?

jagged aspen
#

show up like a normal clear without the ppl icon?

#

like here i have ucob on alt without this thing

#

and main with the thing because it cleared after alt

#

dsr should be the other way around but its not

#

i think if i disable achievements it will not have the icon on either but its weird

trim frost
#

yea honestly idk

#

is it a bad thing to have an alt clear

jagged aspen
#

no i just wanted a clean bar

heady flare
#

just an OCD thing i think

#

i don't have an alt but it would also irk me if my profile has a clear attributed to another character

#

xD

#

especially if that clear has a good parse

jagged aspen
#

parse wont show unless you go into encounters tab and it shows the highest across all chars anyway

rapid whale
#

Ya iirc color on icon has more to do with clear date

I should get clean reclears of UCoB and DSR sometime

If I wasn't teetering on burnout I'd probably try for more DSR

#

I wonder if BLM is gonna have both sps and crit builds again

I might go for a crit focused build this time, I got kinda bothered by the super low GCD before

sly basin
#

for faux leaves

heady flare
#

still my favorite extreme in Stormblood, i don't know why but SB encounters were heavily toned down in difficulty, maybe they heed the feedback that Alexander savage was too hard and nearly killed the high end community

#

at least Tsukuyomi EX has amazing vibe

trim frost
#

yeahh

#

byakko/seiryu are just so much nothing

never forget that O1S was cleared in 1 pull

#

None of the old feast sets scratch my itch

boreal pumice

think only valcor cares about ranked tbh

#

That said I might start doing ranked again depending on the cost of the mounts if they add those in

I really only did Season 1 where I got gold before stopping

trim frost
boreal pumice

what its true your the only guy who talks about it

only complaining about it because the queues are poo poo piss on na

and i haven't been able to rank up all season until now

I have 4 comm crystals if this isn’t enough for one of the sets I’ll flip the fuck out

random needle
#

I keep wondering how the difficulty of Heavyweight is gonna be

trim frost
#

based on like... nothing

random needle
#

Hopefully it's a continuation of Cruiserweight's challenge, since it got way better reception than LHW from everything I saw

heady flare
#

as long as they are fun both in prog and reclear, since we are stuck with this tier for the next 11-12 months

random needle
#

Yeah, I guess that's the main clincher

The real question is, is m11s gonna be a hit or another miss

heady flare
#

it's tradition, the 3rd fight of the final tier is always gonna be underwhelming

#

xD

true beacon
#

P11S is great thematically

#

But a bit… undertuned

random needle
#

Third floors in general I've noticed tend to be seen as the weak links mechanically

true beacon
#

Since you were almost fully skipping LotL by the end of the tier

quick verge
#

they most often suffer from pacing issues

true beacon
#

I mean being sandwiched between P10S and P12S kinda hurts too

quick verge
#

p11 would be an okay fight if it didn't take half of its runtime to get to its actual mechanics

#

same with p7

random needle
heady flare
#

p11s to me feels like a "remastered" e11s fight, also to me it lacked 1 more major mechanic

quick verge
#

p3 doesn't really suffer from bad pacing so it's a decent fight

quick verge
#

all of the mechanics

#

all of them

#

all 3 harvests

#

are at like 8+ minutes in the fight

heady flare
#

Dark and Light, and Letter of the Law weren't enough

quick verge
#

the rest of it is actual filler

random needle
#

Oh. Brilliant.

quick verge
#

the harvests if you look at them are solid mechanics

#

p7 just fucks itself over with being one of the most boring progs ever up to that point

random needle
#

I'm sorta having that struggle of "hardest thing is right at the end" with e10s right now in my blind group

heady flare
#

e10s had body checks up the butt

#

the fight was iconic, but damn it was hard on PF

random needle
#

Giving towers thrice-come ruin is evil

heady flare
#

it was harder than most turn 3s, and harder than some turn 4s

#

oh i mean p10s

#

e10s was poo poo

jolly flume
#

fatebreaker is so much better

heady flare
#

e10s was sooooo jank mechanically, a lot of times i swore i was close to my Umbral Orb
WDYM it went for the other guy ?!?

random needle
#

I don't strictly hate the fight, but the shadows are really annoying to deal with, I'm still not entirely sure what makes them attack you or not

true beacon
#

P10S was very well paced

random needle
#

With any luck we clear tomorrow night though, so we finally get to fight Father

true beacon
#

Bonds 3 and 4 are really tight

#

Especially with bonds 4 after HH1

#

Granted HH2 is the enrage, so

heady flare
#

it has bodychecks throughout the entire fight, so the party have to be on their toes from start to finish

shy obsidian
#

soooooo how long will maintenance take, I wonder?

#

i think i caught the right conversation here
im trying to clear p4s and p8s still, how hard are those unsync with max ilvl now?

random needle
#

p4s unsynced is piss easy, you stand in exactly one tower and win

p8s, you still have to do High Concept 1 I think

jolly flume
#

not

heady flare
jolly flume
#

have fun with na1 though

true beacon
#

P12 you need to do most of Superchain 1, and for p2 hopefully skipping caloric

heady flare
#

i have seen HC1 skip a few months ago, but that requires ilvl 760 bis and pot

true beacon
#

Because Athena’s hp locks during caloric

golden jewel
#

ouughh

#

sounds easier though

jolly flume
#

p4s is 0 effort

#

8 is marginal effort

#

but you'll still wipe 8p2 like 30 times because people suck

golden jewel
#

my old static was getting stuck during p2 on p4s during endwalker

heady flare
#

just do Act 1 competently and the kill is not much further

true beacon
#

Act 1 isn’t hard

heady flare
#

Act 2 can afford a few damage downs

true beacon
#

Act 2 is quite fun once you land it though

jolly flume
#

you don't have to do act 2 if people aren't healing the boss

#

not even remotely close

trim frost
#

people fucking up act 1 will never not be baffling to me

jolly flume
#

these are the people in your dsr pfs

#

makes a whole lot more sense if you think about it

random needle
#

If you can't do act 1 at this point, DSR will fold you like laundry

golden jewel
#

its my hope to clear TOP and DSR one day but I have to unlock it first lol

heady flare
#

maybe with gear from the upcoming raid tier you can trivialize p4s and unlock DSR

#

then practice a bit of p8s

true beacon
#

I mean we’ll def skip caloric in heavyweight gear

jolly flume
#

there already isn't a single actual mechanic that requires anything more than a 20 second explanation

#

brother what does caloric have to do with ulti unlocks

heady flare
#

we are too nice in Elemental PF lol, people tanking mechanics with their face for 30 mins and not utter a single question is not out of the norm

#

just awkward silence until the abandon vote

true beacon
#

People just dip in NA

jolly flume
#

woe is the day you don't have to do na1 anymore

#

the last line of defense against creatures in top pf

golden jewel
#

I need to derust EX1 too

quick verge
#

99% of top pfs have a 100+ clear minimum

heady flare
#

EX1 has the best tankbuster mechanic i have seen in years

#

really pumps me up when i play as tank

sick dirge
#

its sick

heady flare
#

the idea of blocking for my teammates just slaps

too bad i dont enjoy tanking the fight doze its fun invulning the last 2 proximity markers in thunder phase though

heady flare
#

at this hour, no shot

#

it's peak hour for NA

#

most people have already hopped to aether since yesterday night/early morning beforehand

golden jewel
#

ahhh

#

probably why crystal is so dead

heady flare
#

an unintended effect of the data center travel feature, all regions tend to pick one main DC for PF-related activities

#

NA has Aether, EU has Light, JP has Mana

boreal pumice
#

if only they could make PF cross realm to sought out this issue

golden jewel
#

i cant travel between countries though right
like i couldnt go to EU? i've only tried going between NA DC's

heady flare
#

yeah you can't go to EU from NA

#

but all regions can travel to Oceania (Materia DC)

golden jewel
#

but im guessing thats not much busier for raiding

zealous meteor
#

not at all, except during peak hours for OCE

#

because the people there can't leave

sick dirge

it sucks tbh

at least us dynamis folks have other DCs to travel to

visual geyser
#

first match and its triple heals

#

fuk u game

heady flare
#

im curious

#

what's the reaction in the pvp revival community to the new pvp mode?

visual geyser
#

its not out yet

#

itll prob suck tho

heady flare
#

facilitating all out offense should be right up their alley tho right?

#

not having to defend a captured point, sort of like king of the hill

visual geyser
#

depends on how the map is designed really

zealous meteor
#

it's gonna be onsal but slightly to the left

visual geyser
#

needed to sit on 4 points to cap something sounds annoying but we'll see

#

also do we know how many points? the mode could be a slog lke shatter and secure

random needle
#

It seems more like Onsal so far to me, but we'll see it goes

#

Seize (Seal Rock) is by far my least favorite, since holding points is a slog and sometimes there's just no point at all to gun for, and of course the map is pretty biased against North spawn

#

If this ends up being Onsal But Slightly Worse, it'll probably still be the second best FL mode to me

zealous meteor
#

as a very casual pvp player onsal is my fave map

#

so i hope the new one will be fun

random needle
#

Shatter is a bit hit or miss but I think I like it more than I don't, so it's in the middle

I never feel like I'm in the right place in Secure, getting objectives in the center feels like a somehow-less-chaotic version of fighting on the central pillar in Onsal

And Seize can be deleted forever and nothing of value would be lost

visual geyser
#

north spawn being the way it is but they decide to redo the map for shatter because the devs are fucking stupi

#

cant stand new shatter lol

random needle
#

Wait, what was old Shatter like? The current one feels like it's made to be symmetrical

undone tide
heady flare
#

that pvp guy who does commentary for SE's pvp tournament, does he have a youtube channel?

#

im interested in his content

visual geyser
#

with the way pvp actions are now it's kinda fucked lol

#

back then you could nuke alliances with just a ninja/bard/and warrior

#

its pretty hard to get the seal rock coat because you have the spawn RNG where north spawn makes your game 40% harder to win lol

torn kindle
#

One of the schedules had EVERY SMALL NODE immediately spawn in the first minute

visual geyser
#

the new one just sucks

#

and takes forever

#

purify change is the stupidest shit theyve done man

shy obsidian
#

how do people like Shatter

quick verge
#

new shatter is for people that drink monster

shy obsidian
#

there's no alternative ganking routes, there's no incentive to be aggressive, and it's genuinely impossible to make a comeback if one team has gotten momentum

spice path
#

We call shatter 'shitter'

visual geyser
#

no 24 hour maint right?

dapper zealot
#

nope

#

surprisingly only 4 hours

whole estuary
#

the map is symmetrical and the spawns are predictable

#

and for some reason I always get the most aggressive teams in it

Healer strike people made a couple good points, a couple whatever points, and a couple really embarassing points

for me it's just that the good points were justified by things such as "war can solo dungeons" like anyone gaf about dungeon balance
