Haha and also the music scroll afterwards lol
Two HQ Ginger Cookies
I've seen quite a few people pushing for it recently looting today
i'm not ready to do CT again for another relic
At this point, farming Clusters and just selling mount for a big bucks is better than doing DB
I'm doing DB for relics average run takes 40mins
Only die once now because of stupid mistakes or ppl LB and can't see screen lol
yeah I got all the mechs memorized at this point
and red mage LB3 still gets me killed
Yeah
The only time i died is at temperature blades
Rdm lb3 looks cool if you get rid of the flashbang
Why they had to make it blind you I'll never know, it just ruins all screenshots you want to take with it
I love dropping meteorite on blm, it just has a nice, Chunky sound
Having everyone LB3 same time sucks
3 way samurai lb3 looks badass tho
Yes
Or having 3 ninjas do it at the same time, unlimited blade works right there
Someone find that one guy with the cringy lb3 macro
Omae wa mou shindeiru <insert boss name>
Well that's ok because it's small
I'm talking about the people who have an entire paragraph for theirs
I see that quite a bit lol
I remember a sam that has a macro, when the sam uses midare it inserted a quote from Yasuo from LOL.

peeps be putting lines straight from Naruto for their NIN LB3 macros
Every sam I see that has a anime macro for the lb3 always does while using it
The lb3 doesn't even look like the move they are referencing at all
Sam's lb3 looks nothing like unlimited blade works

once had someone copy pasting Sonic Fanfiction in Alliance chat during Rabanastre
One of my favorite paragraph limit breaks I've seen was a "this bitch empty yeet" chat macro
Perfectly timed with the monk punch lmao
I can understand that
you can bet I switched off party chat real fast
I remember people posting dad jokes in chat when, firmament got updated
Full chat of dad jokes
People should MSQ spoilers in my chat
I remember there was a guy who shouted "Haurchefant dies!" Which was funny because in order to do the firmament you have to have completed 3.3 which is way after he dies
The only funny was "I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it, it was a shitzu." Joke
Ok that made me snort
Wait he dies 

I am happy that Queen was Roegadyn, i was begining to think square hates them
Well she is antagonists, so probably they do 
I wiish that for myself 
Again, best time was 43m32s, dare i say WR
Anyone got link to gnb relic?
pins
Hmm??
blue mage dps is rediculous once you get all the new spells
Main. Tanked
killed last orbonne boss during maze
The queen wasn’t a Roegadyn.
That was a handmaiden or priestess, can’t remember which
At long last the hw raids are done
Roe Queen was a patsy 
No they aren’t 😛
Go run them 288 more times!
Whats the drop rate on fates for that step anyways?
you can do
fates with any class right?
curious
since ill just use my BLU to tear through all the FATEs
Yep
sweet
Just need the weapon in your inventory/armoury
Imagine doing fates is a guaranteed drop if you are using the weapon
Well the critical engagement
are blu spells you can get from masked carnivale mobs not guaranteed?
for step 2 of relic is the drop rate from fates relatively high or low?
Unless it was changed, then I’m pretty sure yes.
From what I hear most people say, it feels like it’s around 10%
T_T
so basically atma drop rate atm?
well I mean
now
and i did after they buffed the drop rates LOL
i just remmeber doing 40 fates one night
without a single srop
i was like do i not have smth equipped
but it was just bad luck :(
ok but how did yall do that relic grinding before buffs
Atma have better drop rate in vanilla then crystal drop from mob and CE in bozja
which crystal?
hahaha... no
hell the fuck no
i was relatively lucky when it came to atma
but i knew people that spent days in a single area
People legit sometimes spent a literal day on a zone
comes to show how much higher it is
yep
and fates aren't like CEs
they're always up
and dying super fast
I do think they should’ve given CLL some love in the relic steps
DR and castrum should've had relic drops
The queen looks fucking insane
yea
some normal coin drops would've been nice too
cause you only get silver
or some exchange rate for them
if you're spamming DR normal for the rare drops
you aren't progressing at anything else other than the judge armor
yeah
they kinda fucked bozja progress and relic
Only good thing that you can have multiple relic quests open
DRS cleared? nice
And dont need to be on the job and neither need to wep equippef
We did it!
Great fun with the NA/EUs haha very nice and dedicated bunch of people
thanks for having me "Aether Group 2" ^^
Its was a pleasure!!!

haven't seen any other bosses apart from the 1st one and the queen but
queen savage looks insane
seems the same
do blu's do the most damage at level 70 ?
Hello, which floors of potd is for the last relic weapon step?
out of all the jobs
If you have the primal spells it’s on par with normal 70 jobs I think? If you’re unsyncing things it’s best with a Max ilvl 80 job
blu is the superior job xd
Even that isnt true anymore necessarily
since with a fully buffed Final Sting you can just flat out oneshot bosses that 80's cant
meaning that you skip phases
Yeah, it’s actually faster to do my ARR extremes for Wondrous Tails as BLU now instead of my level 80 jobs
One-shotting is whack
i heard that once you've completed the memories step for the new relics you won't have to do it for the rest? is that even true?
also be careful leaving on all animations during 24 blu run.you might get blu screen of death xd
The step that specifically involves the Mhach / Ivalice memories
thats the one i mean
you can do that step with blu mage btw
it actually doesnt matter what job you use for the alliance raids
All I know is if I’m organizing an unsync run I wouldn’t let a blue in who doesn’t have their primal spells
i mean
Luckily those aren’t that hard to get anymore these days
its funny, i've actually been leveling blu while waiting for queues for those raids lmao
that's not really a BLU yet at that point
yeah
thats a blu in training xd
meanwhile blu mage gets their relic weapon just for completing masked carnivale boss
next level troling by se xd
Bit of a stretch to call it a relic
BLU weapons are basically vanity besides the materia slots
i mean its kinda funny though
the fastest way to progress relic for jobs is to spam alliance raids with the one job that doesnt have relic from bojam xd
im looking forward to see how much faster you can kill marlboro mount raids now with the new spells
as theoretically blue gets stronger at lower levels than other jobs each patch
Ultravibration is so broken for solo levelling
Kill like 3-4 solo mobs to get your chain bonus up, then pull a gigantic pack and instadeath all of them
If only there was good mob density in SB areas
There's a few decent places
Just gotta know where to look
Like, at 64 (which i just finished)
the Lupin mobs have a very dense camp that you can use for this
Yeah I found like 2 decent spots in Azim Steppes with the Halgai and cows
And Lochs has a decent one with the fishes kinda near the other aetheryte
The one not near the zone entrance
Yeah
Ruby Sea is decent with the Isle of Zekki
I never grinded in the fringes but the Ananta hostile place is pretty packed
the Ziggurat was good at level 61 or 62, i forget which
woooooo
The Carmine Kitchen is another packed spot in the peaks
There’s good mob density in yanxia
As for Yanxia, best spot for lower half is probably the Lupin craters
There is a place I leveled that was a square
So you just want around in a square to level
I'm thinking at 66, just scouting around
Yeah those golems/slimes/elementals are decent
the 2 legged elephant things in teh caves
And I learned triple trident and Nibel
Those are super dense
Bit angy that the elementals resist the death spells for whatever reason
Leveling in yanxia was super worth just for triple trident
Eh, triple trident has felt very underwhelming
when it was datamine everyone was like "this is the new shit!"
annnnnd its a 1.5 min cd
lol
Matra magic is where it’s at.
tripple trident is actually quite strong in blu opener
as long as you prebuff it correctly
I purged my BLU bars and I realized I have a lot of free space once I consolidated my damage filler spells
i dont like rose of destruction though.400 potency and 30 sec gcd and has to be cast.jsut annoying to remember to use it amogst the 15 other spells xd
Yeah that one is a bit of a bother
its like for what it does im kinda not bothered too much rememberign it
everything else is more important
kinda curious this theorizesing about a dot blue mage.on paper it sounds good for dps.but it's probably also a pain to keep up and not overwrite ticks
Too bad half the dots either overwrite themselves or are only a gain on multiple targets
I think current endgame builds don’t even use Song of Torment anymore due to how busted Nightbloom is.
you still need song of torment because nightbloom is a minute dot with a 2 min cd
!action song of torment
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 50.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 50
Duration: 30s
Favored by sirens, the Song of Torment carries in its melody a malicious enchantment. It ensnares the listener's spirit, inducing phantom pain that soon becomes physical as the body struggles to process the mind's trauma.
Siren / Pharos Sirius
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 2
!action Nightbloom
Deals unaspected damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 400 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 75
Duration: 60s
This extravagant technique belongs to Tsukuyomi, Lady of the Moon, whose malignant ire manifests as a field of flowers which then burst apart in a hail of deadly petals. Accept the inevitability of the grave, and the power of the nightbloom is yours to wield...
Tsukuyomi / Castrum Fluminis
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 5
Nightbloom is nearly quadruple the damage, and you always use it in Moon Flute
So it basically balances out
for opener yes.but its still exrta dps keep up torment after it falls off
Have to think about move spaces though
And the 24 spots are becoming more and more valuable
i know
its frustrating
its really depends how much of the debuffs etc we can dump on tank and healer responsibility
either we we still need to keep raise and diamond back
and the blue mage limit break (aka final sting)
Everyone having Raise is usually a no brainer, especially due to the long cooldown
Better safe than sorry
the main issue i ahve right now is keeping space for aoe for trash phases that arent ogd ones
Debates are still going on about Song. But I also think it and Bristle are still mandatory.
Personally I like not having the two around for ease of rotation
I'm of the firm believe some new spells should've shared a cooldown with old actions.
And just add Main & Mend VI
agree i hate having a dot i have to refresh every 30 seconds
You must hate SMN and BRD
i do but summoner and bard have way less buttons to press xd
and all healers, too
I hate it more so due to needing to pair it with Bristle
But BRD has 3 buttons to use for dots. BLU only 2
Bristle is basically only for the DoT and as a downtime thing
But for the downtime part Whistle is better if you use physical filler spells
whistle is needed now for trident
oh ofc
Whistle/Bristle are in weird positions
The INT down makes it great for mitigation
that too
And I’m pretty sure it has a fast cast time to allow for weaving
And it’s also stronger than filler
like magic hammer was almost complety neeed for parts of t13
So a nice package of +’s going for it
MP is not an issue as far as we are concerned for now.
Tanks and healers absolutely still need it though
cuz if Addle is needed, then hammer is mandatory, too
but the DPS can skip it
Yeah Tanks are slaves to Diamondback and Healers need all the help they can get with their lack of oGCD heals
magic hammer is good for recovery after being ressed from death
just a +20 potency gain anyway
if the other thing is on cd
Though I guess Diamondback isn’t your main/only mitigation option anymore with Dragonforce and Chelonian Gate being a thing now
Gate is a weird one...
(Yes cactguard is a thing but it felt pretty weak)
have to say fog seems like great tank spell for increasing their dps
fog is a tank spell
is avail strat still manditory for t13?
or solo
Nah you can use it for upcoming raidwide damage
Get that gold parse that no one will probably care about!
if we ever get blu ultimate that parse from tanks might be needed xd
can always have angel snack instead
!action angel snack
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 400
Additional Effect: Grants healing over time effect when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: Healer
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 15s
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.
A spell attributed to the guardian statues of the New World wherein the caster manifests a spread of aetherial treats with panacean properties. Those nourished by the feast find their wounds quickly closing─an effect which lingers when provided by a practitioner with knowledge of healing.
Level 70 - Whalaqee Totem
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
dunno either, i don't think i have it yet
2 minute cooldown makes me think Short End and Nightbloom
also the long cd doesnt justify the useage on dps
And DPS have tons of spare MP
Not even sure if healers want snack
They do
It's an AoE heal with more potency than exu
Exuviate
Strotam is a straight upgrade to that unless you need to cleanse
8 x 50 is still 400 potency
BLUs are DPS no matter what
Maybe if you have one healer take Gobskin and the other takes angel snack
Instead of the two taking both
But it depends on if the fight has lots of outgoing damage
!action matra magic
Deals an unaspected eightfold attack, each hit with a potency of 50.
Potency is increased to 100 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: DPS.
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.
A variety of magic employed by New World voidsent, this spell pummels the target with a barrage of incandescent orbs. Its name, likely familiar to scholars of the arcane, is said to have once encompassed the Whalaqee arts of near-death curses and converting life force into mana.
Learn 100 spells.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
800 for DPS, 400 for the rest
Damn
absolutely worth to bristle
Our conversation also let me forget about my pizza
it's burned

Delivers a threefold attack, each hit with a potency of 150.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.
Originally developed by the Namazu as a spearfishing technique, this blindingly fast triple strike has proven just as effective against creatures more intent on devouring the fisher.

Rank: 1
Current number of spells is 104
definitely need whistle for trident
So it’s pretty packed
Tingle makes that into 750 potency too
Yea
bristle and whistle are worth it, as long as they are above the average of 220 potency in combination
Whistle+Tingle makes trident 1,350 potency. 
That’s what I do
Yeah I honestly avoid using it
so what are the best alliance raids to spam for the mhach/ivalice step
Void Ark with randoms, maybe Mhach with a good premade
well then
Ozma with randoms is omegalul
time to go do a few HW fates then
2 birds with 1 stone
I get HW fates for the recollection step
and I get mhach/ivalice done for the law's order step
LOL INSTAQUEUE FOR RABANASTRE OK
Yea
What’s that?
void ark premade
with 24 blus
yeah moonflute opener is really tight
i hate it
i think they should remove waning nocturn and just make it like a 20% increase buff for 10 seconds or something
because if you mess up timing its a huge dps loss missing a ogd and dealying for a further 15 seconds

If you find any incorrect data or have suggestions, reach me on Discord at soft#8888 or in the Blue Academy, or The Balance Discord server.
Everything on this sheet is still up for debate, but these are the likely suggestions. It isn't clear which set is the best yet, but these are t...
thats the one ive seen
btw you cant oneshot garuda ex
i just tried
when you delete all her hp from final sting she still jumps 😭
Wonder why that is
its likely because garuda have so many jupm phases
jump
they probably didnt factor her being onshot first phase xd
Hopefully it works for Nael too so I can easily farm her for replica gear
That assumes people will put in effort
True, laziness is a thing
Getting BLU to 70 and learning the needed spells takes a bit
Especially since Moon Flute needs you to do some of the Carnivale
!action moon flute
Grants the effect of Waxing Nocturne, increasing damage dealt by 50% and movement speed by 30%.
Duration: 15s
When effect ends, the player is afflicted with Waning Nocturne, preventing the use of auto-attack, weaponskills, spells, or abilities.
Duration: 15s
This technique imitates a peculiar flute wrested from the grasp of a vanquished voidsent. Said creature was initially welcomed as a god by those New World peoples who worship the moon, but it soon became clear to them that the flute was the true source of its power and cruel authority.
Complete 10 stages in the Masked Carnivale.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 1
Huh, thought it was 20 stages
Yeah that's a fair point.
Even so
10 stages is still more effort than most BLU's willing to do
Sorry should’ve phrased it better
Any confirmed reports that you don’t need to repeat step two for future weapons?
"confirmed" is a stretch. ive seen reports, but i havent seen it for myself from anyone i find to be absolutely trustworthy. it seems likely, and we'll probably be certain today.
Based on the text/dialogue in the quest, it not directly upgrading your weapon, and the fact it’s from Gerolt instead of his assistant, it’s likely a one-time quest.
And it doesn’t use the repeatable quest icon supposedly? I’m still on the first step
it's hilarious how bad phantom flurry is
About 1000-1200 potency for an AoE channel sounds pretty decent
From my observation the channel hits every second, is it faster than that?
this is the same logic that makes people think flamethrower is bad
oh wait
They don’t share
you can
nightbloom doesnt share with anything
Nightbloom shares with Both Ends
Oh, i didnt know that. The hell does both ends even do....lets see
Just 600 pot aoe
Oh
600 potency AoE that’s big as hell
No fall off
It’s nice for dungeons that you can’t kill with ram+vibration
Yeah
Still, gonna have nightbloom on 99% of the time once i have it
saintly beam 
That's such a weird ability
it's just a pillar of light
Like, what's the use case for saintly beam
i cant think of an undead enemy a BLU would care about killing
other than if they let BLU into POTD someday
and/or eureka
i wonder if the people that put "join as the role you're going as" on blu parties realize how fucking annoying is to get mimics back
mainly if you're tanking
that and i wished they revamped BLU interface
swapping skills is annoying
Erm. Just to clarify. The new relics are a different weap rather than an upgrade of the existing relic?
E.g. WHM doesnt upgrade the tree branch?
different weps yes
How do we get the non-glowy weap?
I think it just skips to it this time
No powder exchange or wdeva?!
Let me look that up to make sure, haven’t gotten there yet
You do need the recollection weapon to get the new relics tho
Does King of headpats mean you receive all the headpats or give the best headpats?
I give the best ones
That's fine then. Headpats must be made available to all
Right, the recollection before glow up is a generic side quest right?
Plus some scale powder
So lemme just confirm
Generic relic exchange with powder -> glowy with the three memories, then the bitter one -> which i gotta turn in for the new non glowy relic?
Its the shit before that does my head in
The 20/20/20
Generic Relic > Augmented Relic > Recollection Glowy Relic > New Relic (Laws Order)
Laws Order is coming out next patch right?
Oh no shit
is there a lore explanation for changing it?
Okay it just goes into a second glow phase before the final form.
Ah.
Laws order is not the final form
Ahhhhh
I wish some of them were. Don't trust SE for jack anymore
Stat-wise, how good are they vs exarchic?
Not good
Exarchic is still better
Also, was I the only person who like WHMs tree branch?
No but gross
Okay so expect 5.5 for best weapon in the expansion
Ah. Er, melded or not for the exarhic?
Nope Savage will always be slightly better
save for savage yes
Not melded
Sorry, to clarify, is BiS weaps now still exarchic, or tomestones, ignoring savage?
New relics are only ilvl 515
Yea relic weapon will be the best for players who don't engage in savage content

I wonder how epic the final glow will be or will it end up being a dud like Eureka
Bruh I ain't worried about the glow. I hope glows are more subtle cause
I think they get in the way of the aesthetic of the actual weapon
I'm a fan of the HW style of final glow
You can still see the fucking weapon
I don't want a glow stick
I want a weapon I can actually still see
But has some cool effect
NIN's got fucked in that regard
Like you worked for a while for a cool weapon but you can't even see the actual design cause it's blinding 🤨
Still crazy how some jobs had their best relic in ARR. Artists trying to repeat masterpieces lmao
yeah agreed
just had a rabanester run with one of the blus crying non stop over it taking 20 mins

sounds like they wont finish the grind
i know right? xd
he spent the whole time flaming everyone in alliance chat over not having all the spells etc
BLU Ivallice sounds fun
its funny .like blu openers just delete a chunk of boss hp
new blu patch
new blue mages
I'm going to get mad at you for not having every spell unlocked
blu makes them all nice, with instant trash getting blown up
🤨
Wish I was there to see that. "Oh no. How will we ever clear the nonexistent enrage dps check or do the one thing bc you don't have a few spells"
yeah and the blu opener is crazy lol
although i dont think some peoples pcs will appreciate the nighbloom spam xd
Ive yet to experience it
Where is the freaking blue mage opener
Yea blue mage seems about the same in void ark
My fastest run of void ark was 12 minutes
The bosses always go invuln so it’s not much a difference
With a normal alliamce
nightbloom is as bad as red mage lb xd
MFs going ham
except there are 24 of them being cast
Ye
it's kinda hard to fully optimize the blu without looking up a flowchart
to be fair id say half the people are jsut moonfluting and mashing all the primal spells without a rotation xd
Errybody killing Mateus in 2 minutes
its still strong that way
yeah most people are not even halfway optimizing it but I don't really blame them
quite a lot of options
yeah and some spells even though they may not be dpsed just ahve interesting interactions
i mean the floor board spell is funny as hell as a spammable skill
i don't think ive tried that one yet
it sticks out like a sore thumb
which is weird considering all the blu spells xd
its got one good thing going for it
it gives a 3 sec stun
so you can rotate it with butchers knife
butchers knife is 450 potency if target is stunned
sharpened knife you mean?
yeah
So having done the quest, I think I THINK this might've been a one and done thing
Butchers block
hmm I guess there always isn't a raid group going in pf for alliance raids
yeah usually but I haven't seen one in the last 10 minutes
Can always start one
is there a way to make one without having to go into each spot and change it to blu?
I think it’s faster to just queue
Because you won’t be getting multiple runs on blue mage parties
There is always someone that’s leaves
that's a good point
when we did ct spam people didnt really leave and if they did they were replaced really fast
Doing it on blue mage is worth from the fact blue mage is just fun
yeah ive seen it fill decently fast too
Atleast imho
i prefer blu runs to be fair
there is something special about the blu community
]
generally in character and the memes xd
its jsut generally a super fun time
i think for ct we had it set up that for each boss one alliance would use final stings
there's a blu syrcus farm in pf on light right now btw
BLU farms are faster too
assuming it's not just a bunch of people with water cannon that is
I was getting 8-9mins runs yesterday, and there were a bunch of slackers in there
its hilarious how the boss melts at the end when everyone moon flutes
ive set up one in pf on light for void ark
can someone tell me how you unlock the second new BLU weapon? The fire one?
i think it's one of the carnivals im not sure though
Yes
Very very very much so
ah interesting
Like alot of your Damage comes from it
so even if you just sit there for 15 seconds doing nothing?
Yes
You use a fuck ton of high pot skills
It was worth it even before this patch because of Surpanahka
and now its even MORE worth it
Get Perfect Azure on Stage 31, finish under 6:50 with no vuln
How the fuck do you do that
His first phase takes so long because of the stupid mimic mechanic
I guess you have to use dps mimic instead of heal and rely on White Wind for heals
Do more damage, want a link to a 2:57Min Run?
where do you get the trade in items for the augmented judge gear? I've had zero lucking trying to find info on them
You need:
- Bozjan Augmented
- Regular Bozjan Armor (Coins)
- The Augment for it (999 Coins or Castrum drop [rare])
- Regular Judge Gear (Gold Coins)
- Upgrade Token (Savage Drops)
@ashen tundra
Man... Everyone getting the hair and then selling it :( then there's me who actually want to use the hair and I can't get it I am seriously nearing 30 runs now T.T
😭
F
I'll start dreaming DR
you could wait a bit and see how much the price craters
you can buy gold coins via silver coins that drop from normal Debra
@digital forge Ah, thanks. just needed to know where the 2nd part of the judge augment dropped. Had the rest.
this grind is too much, lol. so boring
yeah i'm already feeling it and still have like 24 runs
Is blu the best tank and healer for 70 content as well?
finally done 
nice
I feel your pain.. I am starting to grind gil on the side, maybe that will be faster than rng 
Im glad DRGs finally get a real spear
And not a fucking trident
Aquaman uses Tridents
And no one wants to be Aquaman
that's more of a glaive though
wasnt the first bozja glowy weapon a spear

Yes
dun scaith done with team blue
was a shitshow though
wiped on last boss once
It's wqy way too expensive rn
Maybe not for some veteran who has few hundred millions
14 more ruuuuuns
For as hard as it is to get right now in a decent timeframe I'm surprised it's not more
Yeqh, I can't dwell in those waters
I am no crafter I barely can afford gyr abania
Let alone 30m hair :/
Guess my only option is to grind haha
I just hope I can get it before I receive 50 DR clear achievemtn XD
What am I doing with ny life...
there was someone here this morning with like 45 DR clears and no hair :(
this was me also
i ended up watching netflix while doing it
Did u get it?
nah but I finished my relic at least
hair was a side thing which would have been nice
Yeah it looks nice or u oyld make some gil off of it, i should probably start relic quest too since I already run it this much
Can you get the gold coins from DR normal?
now I feel like I want to farm it more but then I remember every run is like 45minutes
i think so but it's rare
you can get a bunch from the weekly quest
so 3 per week guaranteed from repeatable quest, in normal mode
you get silver coins from normal which you can turn into gold
100 to 1 eh?
yeah
A gold coin can drop in the chest at the end but that'd be the last thing you want
If you got 17 you missed a chest
fak
5 weeks to get a full set
Not that bad in retrospect
Thats shorter than getting the tome gear
quicker than that if you turn in notes for silver coins
I'm assuming that only Savage would drop the materials to trade for augment materials?
Savage drops the plates to buy the law augments
good luck~
Hmm? I don't remember that achievement
You have to beat him in under 7 minutes without taking any vuln stacks
Also unlocks the new weapon
Yes, that is a bit odd
how much do u wanna wager it's Misija of all people who saves Mikoto during that flash forward
That was the first thing I thought when I saw it. Misija is going to be another Fordola
and they've already established Misija can see them too sooooo
the fordola parallels keep happening

There is no way Misija will live though
why is that
She has a synthetic echo, betrayed her kind, and her captors desperately believe they can turn around to do good.
wonder where we've seen that before

Just to complete the meme
it'll end up just being more queer-baiting

5.55 relic story. Calling it now
Does anyone know if you get replicas of the relic weapons second stage?
Menenius steals Save The Queen and uses it to become a version of Zalera, as others have theorized
does anyone have an average time for the alliance raids?
or 10 minutes with full BLU
I was gonna ask that
if you can find a premade it's gonna be faster yeah, especially with a bunch of BLUs(assuming they have the good spells)
But yeah. how exactly does the stat selection part of the relic work?
Is it randomized, selectable?
Wuts the cap
you get a bit over 1k points and it's like 510 cap per stat
1174 total substat i believe
okay so immensely less painful then eureka?
More anima than eureka/diadem stat roulette
thank fucking god
eureka was super painful
especially with having to roll multiple times to get a higher stat cap
Got the hair after 29 runs... i want to cry
i dont understand why the drop rate is so low
probably to force people to run it over palace of the dead for relic
well it worked on me, still gonna get 50 clears tho, just for a checkmark
the funny thing is there are people spammign it now for the hair
before gettign to that stage in relic quest
wait, you have to do it only when quest is active

ah, does not matter, got the hair, time wasted not pointlessly
2 questions. is it true that the 2nd phase of this relic step (18 & 18) only needs to be done once and future relics won't need it? and 2, is POTD not a 100% drop rate in phase 3?
Gimme ue blessing I beg u
I'm currently going to be on 25th run
Still nothing
from the bottom of my heart i hope you get it, because i felt overjoyed after getting it
I've done like 4 runs so far, I do 1 a day

Thanks!! Ill do 2-3 more today and hope
PoTD runs aren't guaranteed, Reginae runs are the guaranteed drop to the step I believe
which makes sense given the time investment diffference
thanks. and what about the 2nd phase where we have to do 18 runs each of HW and SB raids?
also potd tests have been kinda meh I think, everyone I've seen who "tested" it ran 1-10 or 51-60 more or less
it's unclear if for example 151+ is 100%, or if it's the same random chance for any floor
But, I mean, it probably is since the quest isn't a repeatable step
I've seen several reports it's only 1time for the 18 things yeah
some guy on reddit showed "proof" but not really proof since he hasn't cleared his first relic yet
but he's on 3rd step, and using a 2nd class, he can't get 2nd step anymore, it instantly puts him on 3rd step again
so it seems for future relics you just need the 15 CT and 15potd/dr
fate areas full of blu mages again now.its hillarious seeing the fates get nuked to oblivion
any idea of the drop rate in potd?
Low
from what I heard, every set of floors can drop the item, but only 50 and 100 are guaranteed? still not fully sure on the details.
tfw void ark and rabanastre queues are so quick that I don't have any time to do the fates lmao
I want in on the savage 
Does the savage drop gold gabriel?
normal drop i think
I heard you get a Cerberus mount from savage
yes
cerberus mount is for 1st time DR savage clear yes
I assume both savages share loot drops so
that's pretty good
just cut down on deaths, use your banners/fonts
you'll kill it 😄
The stat system kinda blows
You're locked to 4 substats
So if the weapon is det/pie/sps for example
Ur locked out of crit
Im only going off of what my friend's shown me for 1 weapon so maybe it doesnt carry across all of them
But
Finished all my void arks
Nice
How long are the ivalice runs
Dunno about blue
Think I’ll do 5 a day for ivalice
Regular que is 21mins to finish
I’m taking a break for today tho screw that
I've done all step 2 so yeppie
Just need to do 255 CT and 255 reganie
Which crystal tower raid are people queuing up for? For the relic. Syrcus?
Lota was fast for me
Oh ok, I didn't know which one was the fastest.
You can do blue mage it finished it in 8-10min syrcus tower
syrcus is fastest imo
Ppl are doing syrcus yea
Lota is kinda bad cuz u cant attack the thanatos boss
Unless ur alliance is astral
Wod is horrendous
Syrcus p good
Only part u get held up at is xande
Alright thanks, I'll prob try both and time them.
If you spin xande around endlessly you skip mechanics
Spin?
Because I'm pretty sure people were spamming syrcus for the moogle tomestone events so it's the fastest one.
speen
It's always:
Crit
[Spellspeed/Skillspeed] based on if you're primarily weaponskill or spell-based job
Determination
[Direct Hit/Piety/Tenacity] based on if you're a dps/healer/tank respectively.
Being locked out of dhit as a healer feels pretty bad

None of your healer gear has direct hit on it.
Yea
But my melds tend to be crit/dhit unless im remembering wrong
And you lose the materia slots
Losing the materia slots costs you 0.5% damage from direct hits. Big fucking whoop.
What do you get by being able to max determination?
iirc for the most part like, dh and det are near enough, plus det hits your heals
just the min/max pulls DH ahead, bc it's a dummy thicc stat
I get it probably affects very little unless ur nitpicking but still
Man I want the tome event back
i have edenmorn anyway so it doesn't affect me that much
True, tomestone even would be cool
Piety is just a shit stat to have
Finally something I can feel good about burning my old tomes on
To contrast, the equivalent has 515 one secondary, 361 second +120 from materia slots for 515+381=896 total secondary stats, vs 1167 on the relic, for a difference of 271 secondary stats you get free on the relic
So the question is 'is losing 0.5% from less direct hit feelsbad when you get more than 1% from the extra determination?'
Math doesn't care if it 'feelsbad'.
And this will carry over to the final relic.
Then take spell speed
Obv
515 relic beats emerald in all cases, no question
It's even pretty close to 530 tome weapon for drk at least
Relics are for glamour for me anyways
It's definitely not an efficient alternative
Im only building cuz theres a chance it'll be bis for ultimate
But damn i hope the next/final step glows get better
This step is so ugly overall
wut
rdm relic atm is probably the best looking one
nothing wrong with more simple designs on relics imo
as long as they're not TOO simple like war anima
I hate war anima 
I wqnt relic, but i can't farm both loathsome memories and DR
I like the bard one
Looks like is a MH weapon to me
The monk one is also good because they are gloves
Tonfas are ugly
I like how the BLM staff opens up
In comparison to last step
Ugh!
They were finer and had designs and shit
Got queens warrior tabletop piece on last chest XD
Dont tell me I wasted all my luck on that shit
The glows are just shapeless vfx now
Theyre not refined
Its just blobby (?)
Drg weapon is the only one that looks good this step imo
Step and weapon
glows are stupid
Me reading Save the Queen field notes: OK but why is it a BDSM motorcycle
I don’t care about glows they all look bad
And monk too maybe
Tbh i still like ARR relic best, for example Nirvana looks nice, it looks fancy, but not too glowy either
Anima lux are meh, way too glowy qnd colors are bad
I hate the eureka final steps
I like the ninja weapons
Khadalanda and Cronus (and w/e the bard one is called) are the ones i like the most
Literally just a lightsaber
The monk designer deserves a raise
such a good weapon
