[next quarry]

I wanted to get a few for friends

I plan on farming for construct again for a friend

Wtf am I doing with my life

Spearya if you were on aether I'd give

[tribal plinth]

:0

[lilac crest]

[tribal plinth]

How much for it?

[lilac crest]

can I be ur friend

[next quarry]

I can give it for free

[tribal plinth]

I'll take it then if you're willing

[next quarry]

Oki

I'll be on middy gridania

[lilac crest]

what a god

just giving out free mounts

[tribal plinth]

@next quarry character name?

[next quarry]

Azalea Orl

[dim sigil]

i had 100 boxes saved

i got 55 star indigo outta that

[next quarry]

Another minion

Huh

[unreal wadi]

This is much much faster

when you're in a cluster farm party

[sterile moat]

one of my dawon parses

2 WHMs as top dps

3rd is a war

4th is a fucking SCH

[unreal wadi]

im sorry what

[gaunt star]

Wait... so.. was Gunnhildir a Reogadyn, or are they just using her a placeholder with the lack of female Hrothgar models? lol

[sterile moat]

pay attention to the story?

because it's explained

this is the parse i posted earlier with 15k

[maiden lodge]

Read the field notes

[gaunt star]

If you mean earlier, I know that the Hrothgar queen chose a successor or whatever and that she was betrayed, I just didn't know her name was Gunnhildr. If the explanation comes later, I JUST saw that cutscene so not there yet.

[sterile moat]

gunhildr is a title for the queen

[gaunt star]

Ahhh.

OK, that was the missing piece.

Thanks, it makes sense now.

[sterile moat]

like every pixie queen is called titania

[gaunt star]

Yeah, I got it now.

Alright, everything adds up then.

I knew she wasn't a hrothgar even from before because she looked like a hyur or a roegadyn in the little artwork we see of Gunnhildr and her followers or whatever, she was missing the cat ears.

[sterile moat]

the artwork had cat ears though like hroth have

[viscid monolith]

Are you sure it did

[gaunt star]

No, the one to the right of Gunnhildir that it zooms in on doesnt

She ha shuman ears

[gaunt star]

Promise you

It stood out to me

No

To the right of her

[viscid monolith]

Oh those are just from her head piece

[sterile moat]

yes but we've only seen that artwork now

[gaunt star]

Not true

[sterile moat]

the one showing a femroe is a 5.35 artwork

[gaunt star]

When Misija is telling Mikoto about the past of the blade we see a piece of art showing her and all of her followers

[sterile moat]

the one i just posted is known for a long time

[gaunt star]

It zooms in on the one to the right and she has human ears and hair

[viscid monolith]

Well it doesn't have any ears because it's obscured

[sterile moat]

yes and that artwork came up this patch

[gaunt star]

Or I guess Roegadyn ears and hair

Yeah that's the one I'm talking about lol

[sterile moat]

the one we knew so far was the one i posted and it has ears

[gaunt star]

Not the one you just posted

I think you're confused/misunderstanding me

There is a separate piece of art different than the one you shared, we see it in 5.36 when Misija is interrogating Mikoto

[viscid monolith]

That's her forehead lmao

[sterile moat]

aren't you talking of the picture that shows gunhildr and her servants?

[lilac crest]

how are you getting so unlucky with these castrum pugs

LOOOOL

@sterile moat

[gaunt star]

Yeah

[lilac crest]

like mine I'm pretty lucky

and get pretty fire dps

[gaunt star]

And the servant it zooms in on that Misija said they betrayed has human ears and hair, tho I guess technically Roe ears now

[sterile moat]

yea that pic came out this patch

[gaunt star]

Yes I know

I never said it didn

didnt

lol

[sterile moat]

i thought you were talking on how she shown up as non hroth all the time

nvm then

but yea on that pic she's a roe

[viscid monolith]

It doesn't surprise me to see WHMs at the top.

[gaunt star]

Nah, how she was shown as non hroth during that specific cutscene with Misija and Mikoto, the part I missed somewhere is that all of the queens are called Gunnhildir tho

[sterile moat]

dps jobs can do 20k+

[lilac crest]

yeah

lost slash op

[viscid monolith]

How are you doing that

Oh lost slash

[gaunt star]

So that's why i was like "wtf" when 'Gunnhildir' turned out to be a Roe

Anyway yeah sorry for the confusion lol

[viscid monolith]

Wait are you counting the adds at the end of the fight when one side finishes their boss first

[sterile moat]

the moment they mentioned on the story that a certain non hroth took the title of gunhildr i went instantly

this roe bitch is her descendent

[gaunt star]

when they gonna make gunnhildir's outfit a mog tho

[sterile moat]

and was right

[agile otter]

Save the Queen glows when Misja held it

[gaunt star]

oh yeah i knew as soon as she said "old family secret"

lol

er, old family story

[viscid monolith]

I've been using Essence of the Beast in Castrum because I prefer the safety but maybe I should Skirmisher instead

[lilac crest]

not really @viscid monolith

I'm still at 22k even without adds

but then

I have dance partner

[viscid monolith]

I wonder what I pull

[lilac crest]

so that might be why

[sterile moat]

oh my god

this is sad

white line is my dmg

blue is average

[lilac crest]

lmfaooooo

how do I do average

I can only see total

[sterile moat]

oh yea total

[viscid monolith]

Under what category is Castrum

[sterile moat]

it isn't

you have to upload the parse

[lilac crest]

lmaoooo

[sterile moat]

but there's no real category

[lilac crest]

peep those spikes

which were def lost slash

[sterile moat]

so

brionac tankbuster deals 116k on a whm

ok this is rather sad but at least i'm relieved

i'm on top 5 on almost every run i did lately

so i'm doing my job

[lilac crest]

lmaooo

what essence do you use?

[sterile moat]

aetherweaver

[lilac crest]

lowkey

war looks like its really fucking good

for bozja in general

[sterile moat]

i only popped a deep aetherweaver once

[lilac crest]

lost slash on war

is like

[sterile moat]

was when i went with 4 whms for lyon

[viscid monolith]

If you use Bloodsucker you become invincible

[sterile moat]

wanted to play safe so popped a deep one

[lilac crest]

yeah

warrior is wild

lmao

[viscid monolith]

Except against star mobs

[sterile moat]

just death and sprint on those

[viscid monolith]

But then there's another Essence that increases HP and defense

And another that turns you into a dodge tank

[rain onyx]

Is the dodge that noticeable?

[viscid monolith]

Yes

[rain onyx]

If it’s the essence I’m thinking of

[viscid monolith]

It's 40%

[rain onyx]

:0

[viscid monolith]

And then the Deep Essence bumps it up to 48%

[gaunt star]

war is pretty gud but I'm not convinced slash is better than font+noble drk

[viscid monolith]

Font what now

Font of Power and Noble Ends stacks?

[gaunt star]

why wouldn't they

[viscid monolith]

[lilac crest]

I use honored sacrifice and slash

[rain onyx]

Essence of the Irregular + 16 Focus Stacks + Inner Chaos

[lilac crest]

cause I'm a detriment to healer

[rain onyx]

Wait, does Focus work on Lost Slash?

[lilac crest]

yes

[gaunt star]

yes

[lilac crest]

it does

[rain onyx]

Omfg

[gaunt star]

I think focus is a jebait tho

[rain onyx]

I think I want to try that ASAP

Oh most definitely

[lilac crest]

focus is kind of a jebait

yeah

[rain onyx]

It’s a meme skill to use on pull

[viscid monolith]

@gaunt star Warrior can beat that

[rain onyx]

So Inner Release + Irregular + Focus + Lost Slash

For big damage

[lilac crest]

@gaunt star

lmfao

sam can do 500k

[rain onyx]

[lilac crest]

but with drg its easier to get guaranteed lost slash hits

I think war has a stronger lost slash too

just cause war has direct hit and crit guaranteed

is that right?

or is it just crit too

[rain onyx]

Crit and direct hit

[lilac crest]

yeah

[gaunt star]

Tanks have reduced mainstat scaling

So with irregular their IR lost slash hits about as hard as a MCH reassemble slash

[lilac crest]

add in a banner of honored sacrifice or font of power

ez clap

[rain onyx]

Can’t fit those with focus

[lilac crest]

can you stack both actually

if you're fast enough

[gaunt star]

Might be able to

[rain onyx]

I’m pretty sure the buff fades if you swap the action out?

I remember eureka doing that

[lilac crest]

I lowkey wanna me so hard

where I do a lost slash

for 1mil damage

meme*

[rain onyx]

I’m up for testing this, I got a bunch of spare actions

I think I got everything for it

[lilac crest]

too bad you cant do focus with those

😔

cause it dissolves

if you use another lost action

[gaunt star]

There's a real gigachad sam I've seen in a few runs

[lilac crest]

yeah

lost slash for sam

if you get really lucky

hits 500k

lmaoooo

[rain onyx]

30 second duration on this. Can’t get full stacks from focus though

[sterile moat]

imagine a 16x stack critdh misery on opener

[gaunt star]

That sam doesn't use slash incidentally

[rain onyx]

If only it worked on misery ;-;

[lilac crest]

damn

lmao

true gigachad

[rain onyx]

Dunno why Focus is available to mages/healers

[lilac crest]

imagine if they did

they'd probably hit 30k

[next quarry]

I helped a run clear

[sterile moat]

banner skills are cheap

[lilac crest]

oh shit banner of noble ends

LOOOOL

[gaunt star]

I don't think slash is that great

[lilac crest]

he's wild

[gaunt star]

honestly

Like it's good

But it's not the best

[next quarry]

It's a free move if you have nothing else to put

[lilac crest]

I get like 18k without slash

[next quarry]

And it's great for people who are into putting our the most damage on a single hit

[gaunt star]

also, best I've done in a single fight

[lilac crest]

so to me its pretty decent

[rain onyx]

Slash is great for classes with access to forced Crit stuff or big move buffers

[lilac crest]

yeah

drg

[rain onyx]

Not like you should be using support stuff as a DPS

Healers/tanks can do bravery and spell/steel

[sterile moat]

bravery expensive

[lilac crest]

I pop all my damage cds exclusively for lost slash lmao

not really

[gaunt star]

I'm still not convinced it's the best option for those

[lilac crest]

bravery is really cheap

[vivid notch]

does CLL have a parsing?

sorry

does it have a section in FFLogs?

[gaunt star]

You can parse it but there's no section for it

[lilac crest]

I can try doing banner of honored sacrifice and lost font of power and see how I do

[vivid notch]

F

wanted to know how I went

[lilac crest]

I have a decent amount of it

no more big boi hits

[sterile moat]

ah fuck why is lost font of skill so T H I C C

[vivid notch]

also what actions should I have slotted at all times?

[sterile moat]

fucking 20 weight

[vivid notch]

I was running with Bravery, but now I'm running Death and Cure III

[lilac crest]

lmao damn

the cure actions are pretty bad

I wouldnt use em anymore tbh

since people are dying less

unless your castrum group is really bad

[vivid notch]

I have the Omega tank skill but it's only 2 uses

[lilac crest]

I wouldnt use it

[gaunt star]

Skill seems good but

Feel like it's also not as good

[vivid notch]

also I mean in general

[gaunt star]

Even on drk

[vivid notch]

not just Castrum

[sterile moat]

Skill seems good but
@gaunt star presence of mind

[vivid notch]

what actions do you need to be able to do Gabe?

[sterile moat]

[gaunt star]

Skill would be great if it reset your other action cd too

[vivid notch]

or if you play well enough you don't need any Lost Actions?

[sterile moat]

just having essence is good

mixing in actions is where the fun starts

[odd yoke]

Gabriel needs manawall if you're not a tank

[gaunt star]

but like slash vs noble or font, I think slash just looks good because big number

[sterile moat]

lost font of magic was made for BLM fire phase

cause it drains all your mp

[vivid notch]

I'm a tank smile

[sterile moat]

absolutely nobody else gets a proper use out of it

[viscid monolith]

Powered by XIVAPI

[gaunt star]

Slash might be good on sam with font tho

esp if you had dance partner

[sterile moat]

cause the moment it runs out whm can probably deal with lucid and thin air but eh

[vivid notch]

I mean

I think SMN could use very well

[gaunt star]

cuz you can hit 100% crit rate every 2 mins with skirmishers and font+chain/tech

[vivid notch]

since in all my time as SMN I only ever had mana problems if I had to be rezzed

[gaunt star]

and use buff skill on it

[vivid notch]

same for RDM tbh

[gaunt star]

smn seems like the big user for magic font yea

[vivid notch]

the only times I run into mana problems as RDM is if I have to chain rez and/or am being rezzed myself

[gaunt star]

They might be the only ones that can do it effectively without needing ether kit

rdm doesn't get low by itself but you have to be strongly mana positive to use magic font

cuz it will put you straight into the floor

[sterile moat]

i need more skill slots

why only 2

😩

[vivid notch]

I wish there were more buff skills

[viscid monolith]

Wow I wish I liked SMN

[vivid notch]

or that Bravery lasted longer at least

[viscid monolith]

Sounds like it's killer

[vivid notch]

I love SMN

shame a) my guild already has a main SMN so can't really raid with it

and b) I'm trash at it anyway lmao

I can never figure out how many Ruin IVs I can fit into Summon Bahamut window

[gaunt star]

you can't cheese magic font with pom so

[vivid notch]

I always end up with either too many left or too few

[gaunt star]

I tried it on whm and got one use per fight

[sterile moat]

ofc not

why would pom help?

i mean once your mp runs out, you thin air + lucid so you can actively regain mp

ether kits might be a good idea for that

[gaunt star]

I'm saying it's not like magic burst you can cheese

[sterile moat]

yea ofc

i didn't say you could

[gaunt star]

I feel like if you have to ether kit it's not good

cuz you give up banner

[sterile moat]

you can have all of them up

but eh

[vivid notch]

other than Manawall if you ain't a tank is there anything else that is absolutely 100% non negotiable for Gabe?

also is Manawall really required or can you dodge the big hit?

[gaunt star]

you can't dodge it

actually

if u mean the dodge spirit

[sterile moat]

you can stack lost font with noble ends/honored sacrifice

[gaunt star]

maybe but do you wanna be the one to test

[vivid notch]

oof

[gaunt star]

only 40% anyway

[sterile moat]

i did earlier

[vivid notch]

a shame

[gaunt star]

I mean dodging gabes thing

[sterile moat]

that's how i got a 292k misery crit

[rain onyx]

You ideally want a damage essence anyways for the duels

[gaunt star]

I stacked font with sacrifice

[sterile moat]

and 69k glares

[rain onyx]

So you see less of the fight and get less chances to mess up

[vivid notch]

that's fair

so, Manawall, an essence

maybe an autorevive kit

[sterile moat]

also noble ends made me sweat on the 2nd boss of castrum

[vivid notch]

autopotion would be useless, right? since pretty much everything is a OHKO

[sterile moat]

i popped it during double holy IV

[rain onyx]

For Gabriel, yeah

[sterile moat]

i was like "oh shit i'm fucked"

[vivid notch]

though I guess since I'm a tank I could go with autopotion instead of Manawall

[sterile moat]

my poor sch co healer spamming me with lustrates

[rain onyx]

Can use Cure 2 if you’re a job with no self-sustain

[sterile moat]

[rain onyx]

Since it’s an oGCD heal

[gaunt star]

I didn't get anything truly crazy but a 118k non crit assize is pretty funny

[odd yoke]

If you're a tank then you invuln the manawall mech

[sterile moat]

during noble ends you receive 0 heal

[vivid notch]

can Gabe be Deathed?

[odd yoke]

No

None can

[vivid notch]

F

[rain onyx]

None of the duels can be death’d

[vivid notch]

GNB's invuln is kinda yikes

but I guess with autopots it's fine

[odd yoke]

Resistance pots/bloodsucker/auto pot

[vivid notch]

is two uses of Manawall enough for the fight?

[random anvil]

wiped to Adramalech

[uncut tide]

1 is enough

[odd yoke]

Only 1 needed

[vivid notch]

oh nice

[odd yoke]

For Intergrated scanner 2

[vivid notch]

so Manawall, autopot, Bloodsucker, Respots, autorez is the preparation?

can you even do all those?

also the damage buff of course

[rain onyx]

Yeah you can stack the non-essence item buffs

[vivid notch]

dope

!ac deep essence of the guardian

[rain onyx]

Though as a tank id maybe recommend Lost Slash for extra damage

[zenith ether]

What does haste+2 do? And how significant is it for a healer?

[rain onyx]

Or a banner

Each point of haste is -0.02 to your GCD

so the current max of +10 haste puts your GCD at around 2.2-ish

[vivid notch]

is Slash OGCD?

[rain onyx]

Yep

[vivid notch]

dope

[zenith ether]

That’s insane with the full set

[vivid notch]

I have like 20 of the damn things

also a defensive or offensive banner?

[rain onyx]

Offensive IMO.

Noble Ends is a pretty safe damage banner

!action banner of noble ends

[lusty shadow]

**Banner of Noble Ends** : lvl 0 PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD WHM BLM SMN SCH NIN MCH DRK AST SAM RDM GNB DNC (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[vivid notch]

oh

[sterile moat]

i lost 0.08 with the +3 earring

[vivid notch]

that's irky with GNB's invul innit?

you are going to be at 1 HP for a bit

though I guess not if you time it right

!action lost slash

[lusty shadow]

Warrior would be a little broken lmao

[viscid monolith]

Ya

[vivid notch]

thank you for the help

I feel like I'll be ready for the next time I get the duel

watch me get destroyed in the first twenty seconds again lmao

[brisk quail]

EZ

[vivid notch]

or the WAR buff

you'll get it

[next quarry]

How easily can you death star mobs at 100% hp

[brisk quail]

Do you have ordained/are a healer?

[next quarry]

Yes

[brisk quail]

Do you have lost sprint just incase?

Then its easy as shit.

[next quarry]

Now I do

[brisk quail]

You can solo them

You have like at least a 30% chance to death

Use repose

Sleep them

Then death

Everyone but angel is able to be slept

[vivid notch]

oh I forgot

[brisk quail]

But invite others into doing it

[vivid notch]

I have a problem with Lost Actions

[brisk quail]

It's rude to solo kill

[vivid notch]

it's annoying that if you get rid of them in your duty bar they go away

and you gotta get them again

[brisk quail]

Or kill when there is a party already foghting them legit.

[vivid notch]

at least throw them back in the holster

[next quarry]

Does everyone get credit if you death them

[brisk quail]

In the party? Yes

In the zone? No

[rain onyx]

Bozja is pretty generous in that it lets you keep the actions on the bar when you leave the zone, thoug

[vivid notch]

yeah

[rain onyx]

So it has that going for it

[vivid notch]

that's true

[brisk quail]

That's why if there is a group beating them without death... dont go deathing them

Join in

[vivid notch]

but I feel bad getting rid of actions for say, Death

for hunting Stars

or for Castrum

[brisk quail]

But if you just grab a parry of 8 healers and deathing. Go crazy

[sterile moat]

ok time to stop and think for a bit

these ruins

around the map

don't make fucking sense

look at this shit

what is this?

who did anyone manage to live here?

[gaunt star]

maybe that's a bathroom

[sterile moat]

ok

then there's another bathroom behind

plus

how did this get so full of debris?

[random anvil]

it's a bodega

[sterile moat]

did they just shovel dirt there?

[random anvil]

maybe it was a 10 floor bodega

[warm bone]

I blame the goblins

Wait, thats not dravania.

[sterile moat]

there's also this unsung hero

who for some reason

placed sandbags on top of the gates

[dim sigil]

but why

[sterile moat]

then we have this place

that despite collapsing

someone had the trouble of going ahead and cleaning the floor and push and the debris near the walls

[swift kraken]

sandbags might have been used for combat

and stored there

[sterile moat]

those are totally sandbags

they're used to stop the bullets which doesn't make much sense since the bullets that go that high won't hit anyone anyways

[swift kraken]

yeah they mightve put them there just in case they need to grab one

casually

go up with a ladder then sack a few

in the middle of uh

warfare

[sterile moat]

that's how you get sniped

also to nitpick

wooden gates

when the enemy has giant enemy mechanic gorillas

[lilac crest]

Lmao

[topaz dune]

another successful castrum run

[lilac crest]

Castrum is fun

But like

Bruh

I want a fucking augment

Please god

[viscid monolith]

Maybe those people were poor Dan

[lilac crest]

It wont drop

[viscid monolith]

Don't judge their housing situation

[lilac crest]

I’ve done so many runs

[viscid monolith]

You jerk

[sterile moat]

it's trench warfare so anything goes on the gates

that's why i said i was going to nitpick on them

[lilac crest]

Just hire black magws

And make them all cast meteor

Ez

[sterile moat]

also on houses, i don't think so since we've seen a lot of bozja on the dream mission

[warm bone]

Sandbags up high is usually for artilerry

[sterile moat]

not that high

[open verge]

Is the top boss of casteum from a previous ff game?

First top boss

[mental summit]

were their|| sin eater|| shenanigans in castrum?

[tribal plinth]

If there's a reference, it's probably to the Tactics/12 universe. I'm not sure though

@mental summit no

[mental summit]

ok I heard the theme playing and was unsure

[tribal plinth]

it's just the generic "bad things are happening" theme this expansion tbh

[pulsar yacht]

Castrum music is basically a giant 12 and reverent wings reference

[subtle pasture]

man why's it always the bot group that trolls

"we're all heals and tanks"

like aetherweaver and martialist exist

[topaz dune]

already got myt first augmented piece

a top one though

[gaunt star]

Meanwhile indigo star

[midnight nymph]

god same

[next quarry]

How rare is the orchestion roll from CLL

Not very rare

Oki

[gaunt star]

Yeah doesnt sell as much as mounts or upgrade stuff by far

[next quarry]

Well

I did my 3rd castrum run, getting Mechanics down nicely

[sterile moat]

😩 trying to push dps and people dying left and right

that first boss

my god

crit misery on opener

then i had to slow down cause dps was shit up top

[rain onyx]

Yeah the first boss is a massive noob gate

Who knew that splitting a group of people into even halves is so hard

[sterile moat]

i love that people panic

NO THEY HAVE TO DIE TOGETHER

meanwhile the enrage can be one shot with death

[rain onyx]

I think I like fighting the top boss more, people don’t like to stack for the big splits for the bottom boss

“The big split only needs 4 people”
all 3 non-tanks die from the split

Feels like it needs everyone in it

And then there’s the baited aoes that mess it up more

[random anvil]

doing the splits in order

[rain onyx]

...how else are you supposed to do them?

Unless you mean people putting the baited aoes in the splits

[random anvil]

half the time no one does it in order

some sit in the third while people in half health tank the second

etc.

[dim sigil]

ive only done it once how do u tell order i just remember chaos

[random anvil]

they show up in the order you're supposed to do them

[dim sigil]

makes sense

[random anvil]

90k Forbidden Chakra in Castrum

and Banner of Honed Acuity does nothing in there

[spiral wagon]

who is this smug woman and why do i want her to step on me?

[rain onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/jermichael-no-urn-spray-bottle-spray-gif-13258723

Horny B-gone

[random anvil]

same tbh

[sterile moat]

more like degens come over

considering what you're posting

[viscid monolith]

Anime was a mistake

[sterile moat]

better view of the dalamud explosion

i get they went for a flower shape but the fuck are those balls

[unreal wadi]

probably where the Citadel was

[sterile moat]

whole thing is rendered up there just like it should

the castrum we see from the bottom is actually where we run things

it's not just a placeover with something underground

[wind bough]

yeah you're actually in that location

you're still in the BoSoFo instance

just like it was with Eureka

[sterile moat]

yea

it's nice to see that they actually took the map design to make the architecture around it

rather than just come up with some bullshit underground

like a lot of games make the inside of the house completely different of what it looks outside

using cmtools to zoom really far away to look under prae is funny

cause it shows you how the elevator works

the platform stands still while blocks of the elevator move up and return to bottom

though i say this, it's kind of obvious that would be the method chosen to emulate the elevator

[rustic heath]

Whatever the Lyon fate was

I saw someone on Crystal do it successfully

It was really exciting to watch

[pulsar yacht]

@sterile moat that was one of the things I looked at during mining/patch downtime and I still have no idea what those things are

[sterile moat]

chad mch doing 30k dps

that's the highest i've seen

[hexed mango]

Caught up

[gentle temple]

Huh.

I was thinking Menenius is planning to betray Gabranth or has his own agenda, but his log entry claims he's absolutely loyal, so now I dunno >.<

[pastel coyote]

they all simp for Gabranth

[gentle temple]

IVth legion, more like Gabranth's harem.

not really

[pastel coyote]

jealous ?

[gentle temple]

Nah, there's only one Garlean for me.

[pastel coyote]

if we don't count the other yeah one

[onyx sundial]

Hi

It me

[pastel coyote]

suddenly my monday is shit

[gentle temple]

Rood Saki

[pastel coyote]

[subtle pasture]

hey which zone drops what for the augmented relic

in the HW fates

[wind bough]

!faq memoryfates

[lusty shadow]

Heavensward Areas for Bozja Relic Memories

Tortured Memory of the Dying (Yellow)
Coerthas Western Highlands
Sea of Clouds

Sorrowful Memory of the Dying (Blue)
Dravanian Forelands
Churning Mists

Harrowing Memory of the Dying (Red)
Dravanian Hinterlands
Azys Lla

[subtle pasture]

thank

[radiant ice]

How do you avoid the damage in the dog fate for bozja when he does the void tornado attack is it like proximity based or something because i see people take no damage and others who almost die

[lime igloo]

it has a target limit

[pastel coyote]

border are safe

[lime igloo]

so the people furthest away from the center exceed that limit

a lot of stuff works like this actually

[unreal wadi]

You know

where do you get bitter memories in Bozja?

[pastel coyote]

dungeon 60 or bozja low chance

[unreal wadi]

bozja low chance huh...

how low?

[pastel coyote]

if you can pull a bunch of rank I and kill them fast well i can work i guess

low like my mood

[unreal wadi]

meirl

[rain onyx]

I feel like I got a bitter memory every 4-5 normal memories

In terms of grinding mech monsters for clusters

[hexed mango]

Gabranth seems like

[mint berry]

The sprites feel like they have a higher drop chance for bitter memories, got 4 in like 40 minutes

[hexed mango]

Hrm

Anybody here play Metal Gear Solid?

They talk about Gabranth like he's Big Boss or something

[wet crown]

Well, he leads the IVth

[pastel coyote]

at first the area was called Kojima southern front but they changed it because the parallel was too obvious

[eager prairie]

I hit the RNG jackpot today. Got off work, logged into Bozja first thing, Castrum run pops, get 40 people, we clear it

now I can buy the entire Bozja armor set... that I'll prolly not wear lol

[wet crown]

I actually bought the gear for jobs I didn't get tomestone gear for yet

[subtle pasture]

Void Tornado can't kill, for what it's worth.

It's a Charybdis/photon mechanic

3 hours late to that but slow chat at 5am

I don't bother topping off before it as a result, waste of healing

[lilac crest]

I lowkey wanna meme so hard

where I like

eat all the meteors on red chocobo

and see how much dps I do

using reflect btw

imagine the vuln stacks

then reflected damage

and make sure to remove armor for bigger damage

[onyx sundial]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/767714315770789928/unknown.png

[lilac crest]

Yes

I think

I wonder if you take irregular does it make it stronger

Cause more damage you deal

And more damage you take

By 200%

[still fog]

Which fragments can you get Lost Reflect from? I've appraised more than 200 fragments now, but I haven't encountered it yet

[wet crown]

Fragments of support. For more info, check the pins

[still fog]

Ah, so the sprites that you farm with Lost Reflect... drop the fragments that give Reflect, genius

[pastel coyote]

reflect work for 10sec right ?

[wet crown]

You can kill some of the thunder sprites with ease until you get 1 reflect. Then you reflect farm the wind and earth sprites

[still fog]

Castrum gives Bozjan coins, which you can use to buy gear

[wet crown]

Various stuff but most of all, coins.

[still fog]

Also augment materials for your Bozja gear

[wet crown]

With coins, you buy the Bozjan gear

[pastel coyote]

the sprite OS themself ?

[wet crown]

yes, their attacks get reflected

[pastel coyote]

10sec is enough ?

[wet crown]

yes

never done Eureka?

to be fair, tanks can get it up to 30 secs with essense of the templar

which is how I did it

[pastel coyote]

hmmm

well i do the easy eureka

[wet crown]

but there's no issue either way

[pastel coyote]

gonna give a try

[wet crown]

Yes, you can strip naked to reflect more damage to the sprites

[pastel coyote]

good bye lost cure 3, you will be missed or not

[wet crown]

Yes, that is faster. But you are at the mercy of random adds in the vicinity killing you.

the best Lost healers are definitely PLD and RDM

essense of the savior is stupidly good

and cure IV is the best heal in the game, honestly

[pastel coyote]

it's fair sky

no sprite

[wet crown]

an oGCD and it heals really hard

[pastel coyote]

[wet crown]

and that regen on savior

dayum

[pastel coyote]

well if no one kill the star, i will do it myself

[wet crown]

just death it

like everyone else

[pastel coyote]

yep

but i'm nice, i get them to sleep before

[wet crown]

you can't sleep the urgh stingray

angel something

honestly, just use Swift to run away

it's the absolute safest way consistently

[zenith ether]

Is it possible to completely turn other players invisible? At least when I’m in a duel

It’s distracting and anxiety-inducing

[wet crown]

you can hide their names

[zenith ether]

ah, that’s the one I’m using right now

[wet crown]

and lower the max amount of players on your screen

[zenith ether]

Where can I find that?

[wet crown]

it's urgh...

under

[zenith ether]

It’s fine I’ll look for it, thank you though!

[wet crown]

...system config...?

[digital forge]

For Bozja, is there only a title for all 3 duel clears, or is there one for each win?

[wet crown]

99 lockboxes, a log entry, a title and an instance wide buff for everyone

[next quarry]

@digital forge there is a title for killing all duels

"Sword of the South"

And one for each win

[wary pond]

gl getting in duels

let alone clear em

[soft gyro]

castrum team https://img.thaun.dev/h3lfg.png

[cobalt ingot]

quick question guys, does lucid dreaming outweight font of lost magic?

[wary pond]

big doubt

whm cheeses font of magic by thin air

and maybe blm

rest dont

its something u use at last 10% or something

to benefit from mp pool

[cobalt ingot]

alright, thanks

[wet crown]

someone tested, it can't

You know, I'm amazed to learn that DRK's AOE rotation aggros sprites, which hone in on magic. Then again, it is unaspected and that is usually a giveaway for magic.

[sterile moat]

whm cheeses font of magic by thin air
@wary pond you can't

it drains mp anyways

[wary pond]

i mean

you use 0 mp at casting still

which eases it abit

[onyx sundial]

Whats the best combination ti achieve most dps in castrum...

[sterile moat]

yea kind of

[onyx sundial]

Banner+reset?

[sterile moat]

though in terms of slots i prefer noble banner

magic font is kind of eh since it weights a lot, on WHM the skill reset is pretty nice since it resets PoM

[wary pond]

honored sacrifice and font of power

and something to heal u

[onyx sundial]

Just healers adjust

4head

[wary pond]

you can use honed acuity but good luck dodgin 3 hits

[sterile moat]

speaking of noble, benediction works through the 0% heal you get

also asylum covers the ticks of dmg you get

[wary pond]

honored sacrifice give u more dps

[sterile moat]

so you can just drop asylum and pop sacrifice

it's like 1/10th of hp per tick

[wary pond]

also ask for bravery / spellforge or steelforge

you should be easily hitting 20k dps

even as healer

if you have deep aetherweaver

[sterile moat]

more like 30k, i did 19k with noble only yesterday

bravery+noble

had a mch do 30k

on my party

shit was nice to see

[onyx sundial]

Bravery?

I wanna try the cd reset on ninja

[wary pond]

@sterile moat did he have slash

[onyx sundial]

[sterile moat]

didn't check

but we had 3 healers, 2 dps that weren't doing that much

[onyx sundial]

Cd reset+noble/sacrifice banner

How much is the sacrifice tick

[wary pond]

5% of hp

[sterile moat]

and we beat lyon

[wary pond]

for me

[sterile moat]

with 7man

[wary pond]

getting 6k ticks

with 120 hp

[sterile moat]

we even only saw one exaflare

[wary pond]

120k

[onyx sundial]

Probably 5% for all jobs then

[sterile moat]

it runs out before you die anyways

[onyx sundial]

I can probably outheal with bloodlust and shadeshift+regens

[wary pond]

honed acuity feels the strongest one

but to triggering it require some effort

[onyx sundial]

!action lost honed acuity

[lusty shadow]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[onyx sundial]

Is that the one about dodging and getting crit

[wary pond]

yes

for 3 mins

[onyx sundial]

Oh yeah

[wary pond]

combine it

with font powwer

[onyx sundial]

Font power is

[wary pond]

and u get 90% crit rate

for 15 secs

!action font of power

[lusty shadow]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[onyx sundial]

!action lost font of power

[lusty shadow]

[sterile moat]

it seems you lose way too much to try to get it if you aren't a tank

[wary pond]

@sterile moat take aggro as dps
tanks wont be able to aggro back for a while

[onyx sundial]

Use the dps provoke

[wary pond]

hope u evade 3 times while at it

[wary pond]

oh and yes

autos hurt more

the more u dodge

inb4

u dodge 2 hits

then rest of autos do 20% more dmg on u

[sterile moat]

please

why does this exist

[onyx sundial]

Just use reflect

[sterile moat]

why are the production values of this so high

[onyx sundial]

Joonbob is basically raking in the popularity of the birb

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/100463940835762176/760200534665199646/d0Hy74ql.png @sterile moat

same as this

[sterile moat]

yea

that one is sadder tbh

[wary pond]

its funny how

it became hot business again

after the reintroduced math boss

[sterile moat]

had a guy explain math on shout yesterday

despite math being a requirement to enter bozja

[vernal haven]

tbf the alliance raid math boss you could bruteforce

should you? no, but people did anyway

this time you actually had to know for sure

[soft gyro]

what does PRIME mean

[autumn heron]

I keep forgetting about forced march

And walk into the death zone

[soft gyro]

is it this? without the e?

[sterile moat]

he casts indivisible though

[gaunt star]

March is assigned earlier as soon as order is cast

[maiden lodge]

A prime number is any number which has exactly two unique integer factors, 1, and itself.

[gaunt star]

A lot of time to see it before you get the required number dialogue

[soft gyro]

i understand the 3-5, but not prime

[maiden lodge]

To dumb it down though--in that boss so long as you get any odd number that isn't 9 you're golden

[sterile moat]

what about prime?

[wary pond]

2 3 5 7 11

[vagrant sinew]

primes are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves

[wary pond]

remember those

easy

[sterile moat]

yea

[maiden lodge]

Seenoc--specifically you should technically add in the 'two unique factors' clause

[wary pond]

maybe 13 if u are galaxybrain

[sterile moat]

meanwhile what murders everyone is the spin

[wary pond]

hp 9 + 4

[maiden lodge]

But instead of memorizing a list

[vernal haven]

the only time i ever mess up the math boss is when im typing in FC chat and dont see what the boss said lmao

[wary pond]

instead of 2

[maiden lodge]

'odd number that isn't 9'

[vernal haven]

[gaunt star]

The length of the spins is insane

[maiden lodge]

There done.

[soft gyro]

the spin is easy

[gaunt star]

If you have people that suck and die and kill slow

[soft gyro]

but i cant really cast anything

[gaunt star]

You gonna be in there awhile

[sterile moat]

spin is easy

but it still kills everyone

[gaunt star]

You can cast if you predict the cone going off and move in front at least if you're an astrologian, probably possible with long casters if you stand really close into the hitbox but fuck that

[soft gyro]

if you get full haste gear you might be able to cast fast enough

[wary pond]

oh yes

brd/mch/dnc

can get 100% crit rate

with skirmisher

[sterile moat]

rescue people that are doing well so they don't get into the 1v1

[wary pond]

thats trolling

[gaunt star]

I like drg with lost slash cuz it lines up with life surge

Does reassemble work on it?

[wet crown]

yes

[wary pond]

yes

[wet crown]

inner release, too

Personally, I think Slash isn't worth running outside of duels and probably Delebrum savage.

Just too rare.

[gaunt star]

What is it in, violence?

[wet crown]

yes

it's the rarest

[gaunt star]

I've done a lot of death farming and have like 50 total

[wet crown]

I have 121 deaths and only 17 slashes

[eager fox]

It is good for cluster farm

Yeah it is rare af

[gaunt star]

Damn

[wet crown]

just use banish

it's better than holy, art of war and gravity

[sterile moat]

yea 200 potency

i've been using it on mobs that are immune to stun and after stun wears off

[wet crown]

Banish is one of the spells I severely underrestimated

[gaunt star]

Is it flat potency

No downscale on higher numbers?

[wet crown]

200 flat, undead take 25% more dmg for 1 min

yes, that works on bosses

[wary pond]

banish have no cast right?

[wet crown]

it does

[sterile moat]

it's like +4k dmg per target compared to holy

[maiden lodge]

Hang on

[sterile moat]

it's good but it's not amazing

[maiden lodge]

How many shots does one slot take?

[gaunt star]

I havent used banish yet I'm gonna try it out when I get on today

[wet crown]

depends on the action

but banish has 99

[maiden lodge]

Noice.

[vernal haven]

does banish gain anything from buffs?

[maiden lodge]

!action Lost Banish III

[lusty shadow]

**Lost Banish III** : lvl 0 WHM BLM SMN SCH AST RDM (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 200 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Increases damage undead enemies take by 25%
Duration: 60s

Powered by XIVAPI

[maiden lodge]

Oh hey RDM

[vernal haven]

i imagine holy would win if you were in a group and could take the damage up

[sterile moat]

if you need to slot shit like bravery or something else you're better slotting that

[maiden lodge]

I might need to do some calculations

[wet crown]

RDM can definitely abuse it like a juiced-up throwback scatter

[maiden lodge]

Yeah it doesn't give mana though, but

200 is a decent

[wet crown]

so? it's stronger

[maiden lodge]

Yeah

That's what I'm thinking

[wet crown]

actually

banish -> impact

[maiden lodge]

I mean on two targets it's better than Jolt>Impact

[wet crown]

impact is 220

[maiden lodge]

Well yeah

Obvs

[vernal haven]

meanwhile summoner is just glad it can have an actual filler aoe

[wet crown]

Outburst...

Bane...

Painflare...

[maiden lodge]

not that summoner has aoe problems

[vernal haven]

bane and painflare arent fillers

swapping a 90 pot for a 200 pot is huge

yeah smn doesnt have aoe problems but if you can get more out of it, do

im not saying buff outburst, im saying if you have the option to take a 200 potency aoe instead absolutely do

[wet crown]

[maiden lodge]

Oh I hear ya

It's gravy

[vernal haven]

i cba doing a lot of stuff rn

i just wanna farm castrum

but thats not really a thing

[gaunt star]

Some instances will prepare for it like crazy and others just get stuck in ce regardless of warnings and not get enough people/fail the party split

[wet crown]

I just wanna get all my jobs to 80 but I don't like AOEing as BRD that much

I'm just soo lazy that I just hit quick knock and keep army's paeon on

[onyx sundial]

Brd aoe is not very strong

Compared to other jobs

[wet crown]

I can't believe Iron Jaws doesn't apply poison and windbite

[gaunt star]

Especially in bozja encounter length just ruins your dot application

It can either be really slow or really fast

[slim egret]

do u guys have any tips for the cross mechanic on the final boss on prepositioning for it?

thats the only mechanic i keep dying to in the dungeon

[wet crown]

outside of some core issues with BRD's rotation, I don't mind playing the job for trials and bosses

[gaunt star]

The cross is positioned from the angle he jumps to

It'll either be alternating patterns or doubled

So +o+o or oo++ you only need to see the first two to know

[maiden lodge]

do u guys have any tips for the cross mechanic on the final boss on prepositioning for it?
@slim egret

Yes, so, first off, it will always be in front and behind, so if he moves from say, a donut, to a +, you will need to get out of the donut because that won't be safe. The next donut is not likely to be in front or directly the sides, so usually future donuts are safe.

[slim egret]

ok ty, the answers help a lot. So im guessing when he jumps to the cross, i just move left or right after being under the boss?

[maiden lodge]

If you were in a donut, that should do it

[soft gyro]

if you were a donut aoe, i would dodge it

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, you just go to the side if you're in a donut and he's going to cross.

[slim egret]

what about when he starts at X, can I start under the boss and move left or right before he starts the combo

[maiden lodge]

No

If he starts with +, left and right are also bad

cause it's a cross

[soft gyro]

you have to look from where he jumps from, to know where the rotation of the cross is

[maiden lodge]

Just check the next donut, it is unlikely to be directly in front, or behind, or the sides.
