Yeah but people do old relics all the time for appearance
Me in eureka rn for DRK weapon
and as an aside to that
while the Bozja story isnt.....terribly well written
Its highly relevant unlike Eureka
and it would be a shame for it to just get dumpstered
better story than Stormblood
Hard for what
Oh lmaoo
Speaking of which
Do the DR boss themes have a orchestrion roll yet
I really want them
Have you done DR yet Estelle
I did Dill
facts
How was it
I need the queen song
Was it fun though
Yes
DR is super fun
That’s good
Its long tho
it was very fun
and "not hard" is.....a matter of perspective
You need to set aside time for it
I spent all day helping a friend get to rank 10 yesterday
So didn’t get a chance to do it yet
its harder than most any 24 man except for maybe Orbonne
which isnt a high bar
but its also not a "free win"
Orbonne is only hard because people still suck at TG
wipes are possible
Yeah. DR is like......extremely unforgiving of bad players
that's the big thing
bads cant just skate through and pray the healers can keep them up
fuck up twice, you just die
Didn't a JP group clear Savage?
Not to my knowledge
Did they? I was only aware of NA progress
Where’s NA at
Sleeping
NA is at 3rd right?
I feel like that’s how it should be in all content
idk
Ye tho people SUCK at Cidolfus, still
tbh i cant remember the order yet
Its like
- Ravana like bitch
- Alligator
- Queens knights
- ghost thingy
- Fire and ice
- Uhhh spoilers I guess
Geez there’s that many bosses
First boss is Ravana mashed up with the 2nd boss from Xelphatol
Sorry I'm laying down and typing
Yeah the alligator really only has two gimmicks. you see them once and you instantly never fail them
Same with ghost tbh. he can kill you the first time you see the mechanic, and then thats it.
I made dumb mistakes at the ghost but I get it
I remember when people thought that thing was an ascian lol
on normal the 3rd/5th/6th boss are really the only ones that i would say have some staying power in terms of potential to wipe
Mhm yep
Dubya's been popping all night 
Yeah same i did it right after maint blind and it was super fun
Always good to try and get in first thing before there are guides
Ya
so that the expectation of knowing doesnt exist yet
I did it in the afternoon because my bf wanted to do it with me so I waited for him
Was my first time doing so for anything 24 man related
so like, the savage version, rank 15 and same bosses, but savage?
I mean.....kind of
Savage is super hard
and there's extra shit
like 1v1's in-between bosses that you have to beat to advance
extra shit? like im asking if there's more bosses/minibosses. sounds like yes?
Yes
and for gear. it all syncs in there, how does one optimize other than having good actions/essences?
Savage is ALWAYS gonna have extra mechanics. That's how it goes all the time
Have good actions/essences. And augments if thats actually good for your job.
Haste is dogshit for most jobs but for a few.....
no i know it has extra MECHANICS. i was asking if there's more BOSSES or minibosses or trash packs etc
No
Yes
There are non-boss encounters in savage that dont exist in normal
Oh
like trash and 1v1's and all sorts of shit
I mean, they're the same models and names?
yes that was what i was askin cuz i had seen ppl say a BUNCH is added but all i knew for sure was the usual "upped to savage difficulty so more mechs, everything hits harder"
Huh I didn't know that
Yeah a bunch is added
what do you mean by 1v1s? like legitimately one person vs a boss?
Yes
literally there is a 1v1 you have to beat to advance inbetween the 1st and 2nd boss
who are they?
not everyone has to do it, just one person
like who are the fights
idk
rip ok
someone said it was like AV from BA
i won't be able to go for a while and never did BA so
i only did normal mode DR so far
Im not attempting savage until I have normal mechs all down
I still need to brush up on my mistakes in normal
ye same
At this stage given what we know
Granted I did do it blind
its not worth attempting savage until its cleared
NA hasnt cleared it for certain. Someone thought JP might have but i havent seen a source on that.
What ilvl are the new relics?
Ty
holy crap that's wild
ye i have to hit 15 still n start a new job tomorrow so it'll be a while. just scoping out lol
where do you get the augment materials for the Law Order gear? Runner's Plating (Body Gear)
Man, ||Gogo|| is straight up a FF6 reference
What are the mechanics for Gogo's Meteor
correct outfit & all
Yeah you diamondback last one
And heal / dps between
Got the achievement earlier and it wasn't too bad, I just played reckless af for a bit
I've died to every existing mechanic for Gogo that isn't just damage now
are there level 70 blu accessories?
Yes
good
yes
So is it any group of 10 floors for the relic step? For Palace of the dead
CLL really needs a buff to its rewards
I think it is pretty efficient but it still is a huge time investment for so little
with a possibility of failure as well
I've just done the start of the new Bozja quests, up to unlocking DR. The only thing I can think about is "why on Hydaelin did Mikoto, a complete noncombatant, come to an active battlefield??? Multiple times???" Seriously, she's a huge liability that constantly needs to be protected. Just stay in camp love.
LeOn!
I feel like CLL giving like 3-5 of the memories for the first new relic step would be a cool
yeah only getting 1 per run kiiiiinda sucks
I don't have the god damn mana to Diamondback
Go in on healer mimicry and use pom cure
I did it as dps mimic but it was a little tight on mana
Alternately - you're making sure to use magic hammer on CD as well as the obvious Lucid?
I wasn't healing out of MP
Yes
Lucid Dreaming restores less MP than I use during its time and Magic Hammer is only 600 MP
Normal Derigible isn't that bad tbh
first time in that dungeon was hell
lost so much mettle
second run went alot smoother
for some reason, the second party i joined for that raid, it was mostly filled with people who already cleared it, except when i first queued, most of them were new.
same. second clear almost took half the time of my first
Do rezzes in CLL and DR count towards Bozja rezzes for the purpose of the achievement?
Anyone got a recommended place for blu leveling 60-70?
lochs
bring a friend if you can, otherwise you may have to start from fringes
so can you not farm Haunting memories of the dying, in bozjan?
man
ultravibration is broken

freeze mobs
then use ultravibration to instakill them all
what's ultravib from again, officially? i know some hunt in peaks has it
you mean where do you learn it from?
the derpy looking dragonflies near ala ghanna right?
Kongamato
Okay
Exuviation needs to stop cleansing Frostbite before Heavy
Otherwise this is a guaranteed loss


btw
has anyone tested using
malediction of water in public
wait no its party only
I am in pain

I've being fighting Gogo for 2 hours
you have plenty of time to remove both debuffs before thunder
so even if it hits the dot you should be fine
It's not the thunder
Does dr give times
It's the tornado that's on top of me before the thunder
Tomes
the charybdis? they spawn at set spots
2 first spawn, then you get debuffed, then the last 2 spawn in the other cardinal spots
North and south iirc
just stand inbetween where they'll be
So, cleanse before going anywhere
no go to the right spot so they don't spawn on you
alternatively stay middle iirc it's safe
is Chelonian gate a better diamondback 
20% vs 90%
true
but yeah if you're just eating a small tank busters or a raid wide
you can chelonian and then get free dmg
if you use healer mimic you can bring pom cure instead of white wind
and that basically makes you have infinite mp
not that much
but if you're struggling with mana it'd be worth it, unless you're going for the achievement
I am no longer struggling with MP
even with healing mimick you can make the time for the achievement though with the 70 skills
By doing a staring contest most of the time
So is anyone else getting lag spikes in Bozja and in the new raid since the patch drop?
I actually dont understand why its lagging in the raid as its not even in Bozja itself, is it?
I don't get this kind of lag in regular Alliance raids
I noticed some pretty bad latency issues in both, yeah.
Like Bozja itself I can sort of believe but why is the raid itself lagging?
I don't have lag spikes lately
havent noticed any latency issues
I just straight up disconnect
20 minute Syrcus Tower.
dudes can really press their buttons when they want to i guess
regardless I hop the lag dies down in the next patch or hotfix IE soon
because I really like the new raid and its kinda sucking when I cant do mechanics due to lag spiking
Freestyling gamers

join a static to farm crystal towers
That hug the Lalafells shared in the BLU Quest Cutscene
Arms clipping through bodies

Do you have to do Bozjan for the relic now?
think you need to complete the new raid on normal once to get the new relic quest
as for grinding the relic out you dont
Damn I never did bozjan will that take a long time?
It'll take effort yet
yes*
in order to access the new raid you're going to have to complete Castrum which was the prior raid in Bozja but that particular rate is time/locked behind FATE grinding
That sounds great.
Anyone know in order to get into savage prog for DR if you need to maintain 700k mettle to do it or is it just 700k to unlock it and you can do it anytime you want?
you need 700K to unlock it but afterwards you can lose as much mettle as you want haha
Anyone know what the queen'ts knight/soldier/gunner pieces are for?
presume thats boss
boss?
yeah im talking about the items tho
and nvm I discovered what they are, they're for household stuff XD
how will the cerberus mount be acquired?
so, with the new relic you have to rank in bozja, will it therefore be more efficient to lvl tank class in bozja fates or do dungeons with insta queue popping?
I'm thinking bozja as you get 500k from lvl 71 and mettle, but dungeons give a shitton of xp too 
what floors of potd are required for the last step of the relic?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not much info is known
some ppl say floor 100, someone here said 51-60 works fine
which makes me assume floor 100 is guaranteed, and 51-60 is random

Honestly
Seeing how the new steps has two options, one low probability, one confirmed.
I have a feeling PotD is the former
And DR being the latter
it only takes ages
because ppl don't use essences
Because people not using lost actions and essences
Yea
I had an organized discord run just an hour ago
Was pretty quick
I wish I could meme in there on WHM and bring deep profane + Font of Magic + The no healing Banner
Lmao
I just want to do ultra maximum DPS
I want to do tank WHM

Because WHM/BLM can do one-handed + shield at no cost to damage
I wonder if the shield actually blocks
I think later today I’ll go Defense banner + Provoke + the Tank Essence as WHM
its doable to do dr pretty easily with no healers
I had an RDM go Savior + Cure 3 earlier lmao
So anybody hear have a new relic completed up to this step yet? Trying to get an idea for total length of one
It was pretty funny
I don't think anyone's up to the Potd step yet
I've been checking jp sites as well, still no concrete info
Some say low droprate on potd
btw how low is the memory drop rate in ce for the next step of relic quest?
Low
I'm levelling DRG in Bozja rn with the quest active
Haven't seen a single drop
The first step took about 3-4ish hours of gameplay for me
Not counting breaks
damn i had a gold coin drop at the final chest on normal
I don’t think anyone has the last step yet unless they literally didn’t sleep lol
hmm ok.because i was considering instance hopping and just doing ce if one was there and hooping to another after
Just spam CT alliances
In case the potd step has low droprate so DR is better
Its actually faster
Syrcus tower in particular
Specifically Sycrus Tower
i cant suffer ct any longer though.alliance roulette has broken me already
Only way to wipe there is to Amon
The “fastest” method is alliance raids for the first 2 steps and probably potd for the last one
This is the ez step btw
I'm planning to just maybe do fates while in alliance queue later on
Step 2 is 18 Mhach raids amd 18 Ivalice raids
If the stats are mandatory it will highlight how Eureka did something right lol


Thunder god is so fun
Do Rabnaster and Clocktower
unfortunaly echo cant help people stand on markers
They’re all around the same length but people just suck at orbonne
Nah
ive seen hashmal clear house still these days
They really made a drop rate worse than atmas lmao
It’s the easiest assuming potd is a 100% drop
That shits quick
Assuming potd is 100% drop
But with the trend this patch
One is likely a low droprate
True
I have question about the Crystal Tower alternate grind method for loathsome memories. My journal doesnt say it has to be synced. Can I just cheese thru this 15 time with a BLU party?
Other guaranteed
No
It has to be synced
blue can do synced
Yea it can
I mean you could pf with blue mages and do it synced but it’s probably slower with the waiting
But u need a full party of BLUs
Its probably faster if you can get people
No you don't
Yea I just seitched to healer
non blues can join too
Whereas with DF you can just queue as healer and instant queue
ST requires almost no healing so you just mash your 1 button
Tbh I saw a BLU log ridorana yesterday
and with blu can final sting stuff
It was almost full
Do devs actually see forum post suggestions? Or is another way for us to howl into the void?
Like on the official forum?
It depends more if the Japanese community bitches about it I think. And they usually love a good grind

people on official forum think they use the feedback there
but they actually use platforms like reddit
probably as half the people on forum are jsut long time trolls.and have them are really bad at game
so their feedbacks isnt very accurate
I don't mind the 1st 2 steps (I really do), but the substat grind is pointless for ppl who just want glam
Wish there was an alternate method to get the Garlean Synthetic Fabric too. Spent all day in bozja and saw zero drop
i mean some of the threads you see there
drop rate is bogus
I need to find the quote about SE saying you should unsub if there's nothing for you to do
Feel like they're always trying to generate something regardless of the something's quality
If they want the 5.55 relic for the glam they’ll have to do the substat grind
Either now or later
But it and of itself is pointless as it provides no benefit akin to how ppl doing Eureka weapons don't need to do BA
at least ARR and HW relic substat led to visual changes
And those grinds got easier several expacs later unlike this entire relic
All they have to do is increase the drop rate for CEs and SB fates and it’s a fair relic imo
Railroading you into alliances if you want it in any reasonable amount of time is a bit ridiculous
IF they did that I would agree with you, but something tells me they won't until 2 expacs later if that
Wasn’t eureka nerfed while it was still current content?
Iirc it was at the start of 5.0 it was, but I may be wrong
I think they nerfed 1-2 older zones so by pyros they nerfed anemos, hydatos they nerfed pagos? and i think first patch after Hydatos they nerfed pyros?
People think the XIV dev team cares about what the english playerbase thinks
They are a JP company, most of their money made is local. If the JP playerbase isnt angry then nothing will be done
And JP has the mentality of "Dont complain, take what you can get"
That's what I assumed. This'll hopefully be the closest I get to an abusive relationship ever
By that logic it would mean Japanese players did complain about eureka and that caused SE to nerf it
Not gonna make any comments about JP player base outside of them being better at harder content than us on average
So maybe they’ll complain about this too. Who knows
We need them to respect their time, which may be a big ask
Tbh the first steps have babied everyone
Partially, but the monotony of these steps isn't good design either
This 👏 is 👏 what 👏 relics 👏 are
Literally like compare the steps to previous relics
😔
Relics have always been grindy but they also usually were a grind of current content
And not old content
Not gonna hear complaints, but Anima last step was good design
A victory lap even synced
You can grind current content for the relic
With a lower than 100% drop rate which deincentivises doing it?
Welcome to relics baby
Deal with it
Some people have calculated it to be as low as 2% on CEs and fates
Atma grinding anyone?
@topaz river 100% this. We out here doing years old content when we have banger trials and raids they could've pushed us into
Hello?
You’re essentially forced to choose one path while the game pretends you have a choice
When you don’t if you value your time
Again. People have been literally fucking babied by the first steps
It's not the amount we're talking about. It's what content they're making us do that amount of
And you can do current content
Nobody is going to grind the relic in Bozja
There is literally no reason to
So why have the choice at all
Can you do current content for 510 to 515 step?
And that’s still significantly slower than doing it outside Bozja
And yeah the 2nd step doesn’t have any current content attached to it
Only the second step for the new one is exception
It’s all previous expansion content
Hell you only had to do current content to start the relic and even that required old content
There’s a difference between “technically you can do current content” and “you’re being incentivized to do current content”
Mob farming first 3 memories and bitters is actually faster in bojA
Because while the former is true for this relic the latter is not
Like no joke
With a fully coordinated 24 man
Just fucking spread out dumb asses
This isn’t true
It is
Fates and antitower spam were faster
Vinyl is right, but they're skipping over a lot of details
At least Eureka was up front about needing a group. Props for designing more monotonous content that it
People haven't fucking seen efficient farm parties cause they're fucking small brains
Being 8 or 4 people in a pack
Regardless with this current step it doesn’t incentivize you to do current content. It incentivizes the old alliance raids because the drop rate is better. Just because you can grind a relic in one place over another doesn’t mean that’s the way most people are going to do it. People are going to do what they think is faster and that’s the content that gets the population boost
Not the slower option
i mean if it was the other way around, you'd get people whining how bozja is dead content and that they're forced to do it
can't satisfy everyone
I mean I’d rather that Bozja be forced than this mess. Because the way they’re doing it now is killing Bozja anyway
The incentive in bojza is you can do literally multiple steps at once while making money
Which is a greater discussion about Bozja in general but I digress
The CE drop rate is extremely low. Possibly lower than older relics but we don’t know for sure yet
The time spent vs reward gained is not balanced out
Its true this relic is more in line with the previous ones
Welcome 👏 to 👏 relics 👏 you 👏 big 👏 babies
Anima amd Atma pre nerf were MONTHS of grinding
And dont get me started on those ARR relics
Dismissing arguments against poor game design with “you’re being babies” is a bit yikes
Because even as a grind fest this relic is poorly designed
tbh
Because you’re railroaded into grinding otherwise irrelevant content
@topaz river it's a common tactic. Logical fallacies abound
This is actually the least grindy relic thus far
This amount of complaining from people who are basically upset they didnt finish their patch content in less than 24 hours
is pretty "babies" tier
As long as alliance raids are faster than Bozja, no one is grinding this step in Bozja
But I do agree the way Bozja has been handled is a big oof
That’s how it is
Relics are DESIGNED TO TAKE TIME
Eureka was quicker than this after your first
fuck Bozja my party has been wiping in Cape Westwind for the past hour and I can't find a good guide anywhere, anyone have any tips?
@odd yoke so you would agree that this content is not enjoyable?
when have relics every been enjoyable
Why are grinds good design?
It’s not the grind I have a problem with as much as how the grind works
Its a time sink
Because even as a grind this relic has severe problems imo
Some people like hrinds
Like you people dont know how bad the anima grind was
In terms of what content it directs you to grind
Because there's literally fucking nothing else to do in the game
At least aetherochemical was current expansion content at the time lol
But why are grinds good design?
MMOs are designed to be grindy
It gives people something to do
Its part of the genre
Vinyl you know how this shit goes.
SE puts in a grindy thing - "Waaah its too grindy why is this taking so long"
SE puts in the same thing but not grindy - "wtf game is dead there's nothing to do"
The cycle continues
Cape Westwind man's return
Is there no other content that SE could ask us to do that is not more engaging?
The important thing in grindy content is value vs time spent and on the “bad” options for this step that aspect just isn’t there
Savage is both a grind and engaging
Until you've cleared it then its zzzzz
That depends on who u ask
Many people find savage dull cause its formulaic
Personally, i welcome the grind in a X.45 patch. Because this, the dyeable Judge sets, etc? That's your "shit to do" until 6.0. 6.0 is going to be months and months away
Theres no actual reaction
You mean the "Hey, you wanna regrind the same item you already had?" approach?
Only fight interesting this tier is 12s and door boss is already a fucking snooze
Just know what times to do the things
Back when Omega was new people liked the normal fights betyer
If you’re not a midcore static that takes months to get the tier down Savage is probably already dead content for you
And, as much as people are complaining about the Bozja droprates - it has advantages
And even considered O12N harder than O12S cause there was some needed level of reaction to ut
Assuming that to be true, isn't it still more exciting to have a lvl 80 moveset as opposed to a lvl50 one?
In Bozja, i can :
Level alt jobs
Grind Steps 2, 3, AND 4
Collect resources for DR / DR Savage
Make money
all at the same time
It does give something
Alternately, i can "go fast" and do CT and get nothing for it but a step done on a weapon that isnt an upgrade
Appently CE drops memories too
CE drops step 4
But literally no one tried
But it’s not guaranteed
Good luck getting in there
and during all of that, collecting stuff towards eventual dyeable judge sets
And even if you can justify step 4 being the way it is doing all that it doesn’t forgive step 5
Which is entirely outside of Bozja
And entirely old expansion content
Which you get nothing for other than a step in a weapon that isn’t an upgrade
does help new players get that ivalice queue pop at least lol
That's the only thing i actually agree with you about
Step 5 being entirely non-Bozja is actually silly
And unlike step 4 you’re not incentivized to actually put up with the low fate drop rate
I'm not asking for the grind to be quick. I'm asking for the grind to be consistent. If they triple the number of items you need but make CEs guarantee them that feels better than having less but no guarantee
Same commitment, but different player responses
Unless you’re a chad and grind ixion at the same time or something lol
Unless you're a
chadBLU
Most of the grind I see people complaining about seems like its designed to be done over time
I can accept that for step 4 and maybe step 6
also true nobody is forcing you to grind the relic out in 2 days when 5.55 is far away
Even if you spread it out over time the grind itself is still boring. Why not have us do current raids or trials or dungeons instead?
But step 5 I don’t see why our “over time” grind has to be in irrelevant content that we don’t get anything else from
that's been every relic minus SB
my only real issue is the Crystal Tower raids being part of getting this new relic
there's already incentive for doing that since it's an MSQ requirement
should've been the HW alliance raids instead or something if they wanna revive old content for free players
What happens when there's not many ppl doing this relic in 1.5 yrs? New players don't get a boost from relic pop and relic players don't have other relic players to help. They make this content part of the next relic too?
there are still tons of players in eureka
That’s okay cause you go and do HW/ Sb raids at step 2
or they'll raise fate drop % eventually
@radiant pollen could you flesh out this thought pls? Not sure what you're trying to say
there will still be players in bozja
so it's not like you wouldn't be able to find other players doing the same thing
Bozja will stay populated because it’s faster than dungeons for DPS jobs leveling wise. Probably more populated than eureka is now if just for that
But how does that help newer player doing 24 man's like we believe this relic is trying to do?
it won't
Content is gonna die a year from now just like everything fucking else 
at that point if you want the relic you'll just farm the fates
Stuff like this in the relic quest is for short term optics
People queueing for alliance raids -> people who got the free trial in 5.3 thinking the old content is still active
Even if the relic quest is artificially boosting it
It increases the chance of people who came to the game from the free trial expansion actually subscribing
That being said it doesn’t give the people who are doing the relic quest anything other than progress on the quest. Whereas it can be argued that you can grind for other endgame things while doing steps 4 and 6
A sentiment that I don’t fully subscribe to myself but I can see where the argument comes from
@topaz river I think you're right. I don't think there's a reason we couldn't be doing shb dungeons or trials or raids or bozja for these steps. It would be a celebration of ShB
I got queens barding 😩 😩
Wasted probably all mu rng luck on that
I would personally have less of an issue if I was farming ShB fates, dungeons, and the nier raids
I did the first step
Working on the second
1/36 :)
I just wanna know if the (presumably) non-glowy one dyes.
Oh my god
I don't even know if ai should bother with new relics
They aren't really that cool looking I stil prefer anima and arr
At least the whm one sucks
And getting it for stats, meh i think there are better ones
I don’t like that many of them
Relics are almost mever for stats tho
That looks a lot like anima
I’m doing them for my mains PLD and DRK at most
With the purple glow
Probably not more than that
Relics only become BiS at the end of the xpac
It's a color associated with the job.
After the final step
For my main jobs the DRK and BLM ones are great at least
Waaaaaay better than the previous ones
So nobody's got the first few steps done yet? Drat.
I have 3 at 510
At least 2-3 days
I did the first step but I’m not logged on so I can’t check if the non glow one is dyeable
Wait, does the CT step get you the non-glowy one?
Or is that after all the alliance raids?
Ye
Yes
O-Oh.
Step 2 gives you the glow
Glow is after step 2
That...Motivates me quite a bit more. XD
Step 3 is just the sub stats
So if you’re doing this purely for glam and don’t want to continue the relic in 5.55 you don’t need the last step
Did anyone here get the new hair?
@wary hawk So does the 510 one dye?
Glow is last step?
Glow is second
Substats is last step
Oh so first step raises ilvl, second adds glow and third u can modify stats
First step is 510
Second step needs 18 runs of Mhach and 18 runs of Ivalice
Then 515
Or fates but the drop rate is abysmal
That aoinds like pain
Logging in now to check
Lol haha nope
is the final relic or is there another step in the future
Better than CT.
5.55 is the final relic
will it add another glow?
It’ll probably be a new weapon model and a different glow
At least Ivalice hasn't been drilled into my brain for years.
I queued for everything Mhach/Ivalice except dun scaith
The relics are always 3 tiers. The final one at X.55 is always BiS
Orbonne is a pain but I have more patience for that than first boss memes in dun scaith
yeah and usually the final tier has the penultimate glow right?
I love it too but people can’t do the first boss lol
It's funny.
do we have a rough eta on 5.55?
I know someone who got all the anima relics before it was nerfed
Nope.
No
Just wait till Friday, we'll probably get an ETA for 5.5 itself.
5.5 is probably mid to late April
510 relics aren't dyable
5.5 is probably April or May with the expansion by summer or early fall. Place 5.55 somewhere in there lol
Dammit.
Well thanks for checking.
I would put expansion at Oct?
I'd still say 5.5 will be March 31st
yeah and usually it's summer but delays who knows
I say September-ish.
expansion early access could be Sept 21st (Friday) for meme reasons
full launch whatever the following Tuesday is
I cant wait
For it to turn out the only thing being show this weekend
Is shirts

lol
You all thought it was the next xpac but Yoshi said in every interview its just T-Shirts
Please look forward to it

Wish me luck as I head back to try and grind another 45 ST runs
What wep did you go for first?
I got DRG, GNB, and DNC at the same time
Nice I too am going for DNC and GNB first
Kinda wish I never started on the relic grinds. By playing I fell like I consent to this game design
feel*
Yeah I could see that happening
6.0 should be in sep since the schedule is delayed by 2mths
Is there a shortest crystal tower raid? Or one that has been the most optimal?
ah you can undersizse it?
missile doesnt work on the bosses does it?
lmao
on the blu mage note, is it better to run the new dungeons solo or group it?
oh didn't know if basic instinct played a role
Basic Instinct is good
Its good but it takes like 30mins solo
4 people is 400% damage
So
Groups will always be better
Basic Instinct is good if you want to challenge yourself or you need to get skill from a mob in a dungeon but don't need to beat the entire thing.
If you do solo a dungeon then Healer Mimic would be best.
Ya have fun doing that 15 times
lol
you had fun?
Is there a most optimal job for those raids at that synced level
some of the DPS jobs are abnormally strong at certain levels
NIN's seem to be extremely good at 50, for example
iirc RDM is really good at 60
if im gonna do it 15 times might as well bring the deeps
actually do they contribute to the tank mounts?
What were the conditions for Rose of Destruction for BLU? I know it's a stack-up, but I didn't get it last time because he didn't actually use it.
Its late in the fight
hm
After 2nd spirit wave in phase 2
I thought I saw somewhere he had to be pushed to 75%?
We got him to 7% and just waited for him to do it
Sounds good to me
You know what's more fun than it should be? Choco Meteor.
You know what else is also more fun than it should be? Ram's Breath (or whatever it's called, I can't remember) + Ultravibration on big packs of mobs.
I cackled my way through Temple of the Fist last night as we pulled w2w and murdered everything with the Freeze + Ultravibration combo.
What's the name of the blu set?
mirage (lv70/i400)
that's clean as fuck actually
this may be one of the few times i actually just glam a full artifact set
except for the pants cause whoever at square keeps declaring male chars get suit pants and female chars get stockings and short shorts can go step on a lego
Oh fuck for real? What's the reqs this time around?
I wanted the achievement anyway
there's a video i think
Oh dope, thanks!
Fight gets significantly easier if you keep high dps throughout, skipping several annoying parts.
If you do not have enough dps to skip last part of Act 1, bring Eerie Soundwave to dispel his 100% crit.
Final Sting goes 18-19% without crit or dhit, and as such with dps mimic you can probably safely Final Sting around 20-25%. (I just do it so lat...
What does the drop rate on the new hair seem to be from the new raid?
how did they fuck it up?
and yeah the hair's selling for 30-45m
mount's selling for 40-50
its too hard
Do the blu job quests require any specific spells to get through this time?
apparently
it's... not?
still no clear
i went into it fairly blind and figured out most of the mechs
dps check is too spicy
'oh no it takes time to clear it's too hard' can we not have this attitude, i don't get it
someone
got mad
earlier
you'd think they'd get mad at the hot and cold one
nope
they got mad at the cone aoe on the crcocdile
and the bozja gear upgrades are ludicrous
i cant tell if ur trolling
imagine if bozja gear actually did something
not if you need the augmented bozja gear
which takes a months to grind
It's been one day
trolling
the fact they haven't cleared savage yet is good, it means it isn't a face roll again
yea
Meh
i wanna jump into savage once im done farming normal and reclears and eureka and etc etc etc
its our baby first times in xiv for actually communicating big teams
being hard is ok but bozja gear being required is dumb af
That's cos everyone die after 2 stack
it's not?
in important content
for normal??
savage
for gear
o
savage needs bozja gear??
yes
u were replying to him
is it actually required or is it recommended
Not really need the bozja gear
actually required
source this.
raises eyebrow
Since it's only up the ss
^
theres streams with 24 people that are good at the game progging
they cant meet dps check
Bojza gear only adds haste
okay..
haste is huge gcd boost
Not for every job
so you're teling me
For jobs for like Speed
are they all using the new actions?
barely any deaths you cant meet dps check
^
If your job doesn't like speed then it aunt much
Doubt there is 0 death
only in Bojza (Idk if it was clarified)
Thats what we're talking about
just making sure
Probably need to optimize the bozja action
well you had how many months to grind for the new gear
it speaks for itself, they cant clear it as fast as new savage tier
also people need to use the essences and actions for the savage
and have the gear
then i believe it will be possible
just do castrum and hope you get lucky in augment drops, farm the coins, or buy it from MB
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ive gotten 3 drops
Unless the team didn't eat stacks and waste gcd for full heal to remove doom
you can't remove the doom right?
I doubt bozja gear help much
Only jobs that benefit from _speed can actually make use of the bozja gear. It offers no stats to help you otherwise.
doom is there to make you fail
I heard it's removed after heal back to full hp
it's there in lieu of vuln stacks
mind you bozja has fixed stats
Might as well one hit kill
so haste is your only option to increase dps
which means the gear has no effect outside haste, so how can it be required?
Not every job benefit from haste
but a lot do
there is no reason NOT to prog without the bojza gear
unless you do not need the haste apparently
For some jobs it's 'haste helps' for others its '_speed is not as good as other stats' and for stil others its 'you do not want a single point of _speed why do you think haste is any good?'
cries in low pie + 5 haste
This isn't like eureka gear where it give stats boost from the element stats
And even then, element effect gear was exceedingly rare until later
If savage required haste gear then it's gate behind a heavy grind
Ridiculous to think, "It hasn't been downed in 24 hours it's broken"
Or you have millions to spend
Your real dps gains in bozja are from Lost Actions
Not saying that
No, it's what the conversation started with
Yea it's probably more on lost action then bozja gear
I know, I'm just saying the idea you need the -gear- (minor dps gain for some jobs, actually detrimental to others) is rediculous, when lost actions are sitting there being obvious and necessary.
id guess people are using them
yea
when its 24 people with brain trying to clear
if i was trying to prog that fight i'd want to use the Bozja gear
Bozja savage is only hard because mech kill you in two hit max
bc my og gear doesnt effect anything
And no res
I forget, is Savage the 48 or 24
24
dps check?
48
the savage is 48 people my dude
