[thorny flax]

compared to Innocence which was insanely boring and a 20 minute prog boss

[open verge]

i think ex1 is just as bad as inno and tit

[thorny flax]

true

I was fine with it until I heard that people get motion sickness from it

that's a freaking no go

[open verge]

really lol

i just think the fight sucks

its not annoying or anything just boring

[thorny flax]

the stars are the worst part of the fight because the visual feedback is very misleading

[open verge]

stars arent much of an issue

because my job can cheese the mechanic

wonder where we go next

[brisk quail]

Only if we knew. Game's dead

No new raid hint either. Smh

[open verge]

sadge

we still have no clue what the trial series is

or the relic

[simple axle]

is there a way for the last area to be in gold state in dead ends explorer mode

[open verge]

nop

[brisk quail]

||I'm still hoping there's a Greg relic set. Where we fight shit to make a sword legendary with him and he tries to steal it from us||

[patent siren]

Is there any word as to when cross-data-server travel will be enabled?

[open verge]

6.1

[viral dagger]

is there a place to put spoiler memes

[jade relic]

Here, just mark as spoiler

[patent siren]

thanks! is there an expected timeline for that? just want to know if I have to transfer my character to play with my friend

[open verge]

i have no clue

could be delayed

[inner halo]

Huh, my mind just randomly popped out saying: Probably mentor and NN feature shouldn’t exist

I dont find the NN useful though. I was automatically invited into NN back from Day 1 and no one ever answer my question

[frigid light]

whats best way to lvl BTN this expansion?

[inner halo]

Levemetes, LV80-90 Gatherer Story Quest, Turn in Collectables for scripts (yes it comes along with EXP)

[open verge]

DAAAAMN

pvp roulette gives a shit ton of exp

that was half my level

wow fandance 4 animation is so stupid

[lean ore]

pog

[obsidian notch]

This is the new warrior skill?

[maiden ridge]

today i healed my healer with this

[obsidian notch]

So warrior and paladin are sub healer now

[maiden ridge]

i just finished 25% zod by myself cause party wiped 4 times

yes, war gud

[obsidian notch]

So warrior are

Dps
Tank
Healer

[maiden ridge]

well a really bad dps still, its about 30% less damage than dps

but otherwise very angery tank and now partially a paladin as well

redemption

[obsidian notch]

Butt butt butt the CrIt

[maiden ridge]

they saw that half the warriors switched to dark knight and yeah, they solved that problem now

[maiden ridge]

[maiden ridge]

but im stealing that meme

Post 83 Dungeon be like

[keen osprey]

I just noticed... why is ||Meteion's|| size scaled to us?

[open verge]

Is it really?

[humble heron]

Probably of her own volition

[keen osprey]

Think about it

The ancients are tall, huge

[tranquil igloo]

yey, I got lucky and rolled 97 lol

[humble heron]

A lonx

[open verge]

Oh

[keen osprey]

so on ||Elpis||, when we were ||scaled to the size of the ancients||, that should've been our baseline height

[open verge]

||Hermès or maybe her lack of aether?||

[keen osprey]

but when back in our own ||timeline, somehow the height comparison between us and meteion remains the same||

[open verge]

Ohhh

Your right…

[humble heron]

I mean we already know ||she can manipulate her physical appearance and aether|| and essentially is a god being in ||ultima thule||

[open verge]

The reality definitely being it’s just easier to develop that way

[keen osprey]

||She has only ever demonstrated changing to the form of a bird, and even then, it's also not scaled||

[humble heron]

||sure, but shes also able to instant transmission better than goku so i would be willing to accept shes got quite a few tricks up her sleeve||

[keen osprey]

||Emet and Hythlo being scaled down makes sense, because we were using our magic to give form to them, and in our mind, that's the height we're accustomed to for them||

[tranquil igloo]

I mean if ||we kept the size scaling we'd be dwarfing every npc in the game post elpis||

[keen osprey]

But ||Meteion has no reason to adjust her height depending on who she interacts with||, and i think is basically a minor inconsistency that was overlooked

[open verge]

I don’t think it was overlooked

It was definitely just a gameplay decision

Like yes in the story your right

[keen osprey]

||The size scaling we had on Elpis being only on Elpis i can accept. The size scaling problem is only with Meteion who by right should've been way bigger because she's scaled to the ancients, and not the sundered people||

[granite nimbus]

||Big Lala||.

[tranquil igloo]

lol

[keen osprey]

lmao

[gaunt star]

when is ishgard housing dropping?

[tranquil igloo]

6.1 iirc

[short edge]

For the people that have done them.. are the extremes for this trial to hard to start out on? Literally haven’t done any type of extreme content before synced and want some of dem ex2 weapons

[late aurora]

EX1 is basically follow the leader

EX2 is more “in depth”

[jolly shard]

I find ex2 easier if you have a group that knows what they're doing but both are fine

[short edge]

Good to know

[glossy garnet]

Sitting at Absolute Horizon and cheering on the people showing up there for the first time. 😌

[untold gull]

random thought about height inconsistencies ||zenos is essentially 2/3rds the height of an ancient, isn't he||

[late aurora]

He’s 7 and a half feet at least

So yeah seems bout right

[gaunt star]

What inconsistencies

[untold gull]

height inconsistency topic

[brisk quail]

Complaining that a being made of ||pure emotion energy bullshit should be a diffrent size but completely forgets the fact she's made of bullshit energy and can change her form at will||

I'm pretty sure if ||she showed up to any civilization while not 'at their scale' shit goes down alot differently than it did||

Like with the ||Namazu facing down a 20ft birb person asking them what makes life worth living. To a fucking fish. Yeah that'll go down well and not cause a mass panic||

[proud jewel]

Can we replay the || final instance cutscene? The one where you fist fight zenos ||

||My brother said we can't and I'm still at the credits so i cant check.. I really wanna screenshot that scene||

[quick owl]

I mean... I was listening to a podcast or something like 90% of the times that I did that so...

[brisk quail]

Not yet

New game+

[proud jewel]

I see, thank you!

[stuck oar]

You know what I just remembered

||why did they play big fat tacos during the meteoin fight||

It was very off-putting like I was back fighting a weapon or something

[severe finch]

||because the phase 1 theme is an amalgamation of every final boss theme thus far; ultima weapon, king thordan, shinryu, and hades||

[stuck oar]

||did they play that theme in the previous final bosses? I guess I just connect it to ultima, ruby, emerald, diamond||

[severe finch]

||it was because of ultima weapon yes||

[exotic spade]

||Can't blame you for it, it is pretty much an arrangement of the previous final bosses from ARR up to ShB, it started from Worm's Tail because Zenos then Ultima in the start of the fight. When it transitions to Revenge of the Horde and Invincible you're in the thick of the fight so it's not as noticeable. Add to that the fame (infamy?) of Big Fat Tacos, so it's pretty much the most noticeable of the tracks used.||

[gloomy axle]

I've completed 6.0

I'm aimless and know not what to do with my life.

Guess I'll become a blasphemy

[half phoenix]

If you mean that scene, cutscene 5 or 6 of that quest. If you mean the actual fight, no, not yet

[proud jewel]

|| just the cutscene, speecifically when you start trading punchees with him ||

[half phoenix]

Yea, scene 5 or 6 of that quest in Unending Journey

So check the book in the inns

[proud jewel]

thank you very much!

[robust atlas]

Why is bloodwhetting so good

[proper zealot]

[pulsar current]

why not

Fair feedback

[vital brook]

I cant believe Cid just went and took full credit of the ||ship the Sharlayans built||

[cloud roost]

you mean ||the ship he built||

[wind bough]

||Not wearing the sophist robes dyed white, failure of a glam||

[vital merlin]

So trying to think on what more to do

I have the Raid, Shared FATEs, Crafting and full 90's left i believe.
I done all quests, i finished all Role Quests, and Trusts full 90 too

Got the full Boss FATE Tokens too, all the Hunt items...

Am i forgetting anything Endwalker Specific they added?

[humble heron]

I guess you could farm for the 90 dungeon minions

[vital merlin]

Well, i am right now wondering on the "One Time" Activities, so to say

One time clear, or super short

Minions and Mounts and such are in the bucket list of "Things to do oncei am full 90"

[humble heron]

Then i think youve got it all figured out

[vital merlin]

d.w .

I am a full clearer

No sidequest escaped my sight

[blazing edge]

sounds narcissistic i think

[iron birch]

Ngl, I need ||zenos enshroud mode and its outfit for reaper||

Namely ||the enshroud mode||

[open verge]

||rewatched all the Zenos endwalker cutscenes this guy is 100% a tragic villian||

I just feel bad for the guy

||never having enjoyment and the one time you find it you realize you’ll never feel that good again so you die||

||and then being forcibly reborn you just look for a way to get that feeling again||

I see Zeno meme back again since stormblood

[vernal dust]

i misspoke

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/rsw85o/new_years_message_to_ffxiv_players_from_yoship/

it's not an interview

[lean ore]

oh

[vernal dust]

it's a message

[obsidian notch]

Since shadowbringer release 2 race with opportunities gender why does end walker not release the same 2 race fill back the 2 other gender that was missing?

[vernal dust]

because that was something they decided later in development

vs femviera and maleroth

which were greenlit from the get go

[wet crown]

they wanted Hrothgar but fans demanded Viera

[vernal dust]

plus apparently they had plenty of issues with bunbois

[wet crown]

so they compromised

and because people were mad we didn't get male Viera...

they shifted their work around, added extra work for female Viera hairstyles, etc etc

in 6.1, we'll get new hair styles for male Hrothgar and in a later patch we'll get femhroth

tbh, it's very likely a new MSQ NPC will be one as well

[regal lantern]

I really hope one of our new companion is a fan service type waifu. This game is full of fan service male NPCs but there's not nearly enough female characters that does the part. Y'shtola has been waifu for a long time alone and she isn't really exactly the fan service type. I'd really like someone like Cid from FFXV on the team for once

[strange wing]

Just like, walk down Limsa when it's busy

[humble heron]

I mean, i can understand that sentiment. Between thancred, urianger, and graha theres a lot of different male archetypes

[strange wing]

Okay but like, why do the female characters need to be "fanservice"

I'll happily take a Femroe in fullplate however. More roe representation in general

[humble heron]

I just want moenbryda back

[open verge]

The msq needs more hrothgar

I can’t count a single important Hrothgar In Endwalker

I don’t think a single Hrothgar was voiced as well

[late aurora]

Do any of you guys remember the 1.0 companion that was super horny

Pretty sure it was a miqote

It’s the miqote

Not to worry, though, she’ll be gentle—assuming that’s what you like.

[gaunt star]

story is bangin

at lvl 88 quests rn

this is way better than any of the other expansions

[open verge]

I wonder how they’ll handle 6.1 and beyond

New arc but I still have so many questions grrr

[open verge]

GUYS QUESTION

Does the song thats plays ||in the first cutscene of this video have a name? https://youtu.be/ySqsYUPoa9U||

[slender siren]

Can’t believe I missed this

Us in the past

[late aurora]

Dude that was the cutscene right before a12 unlocked, how didn’t you...

I didn’t notice cid Biggs wedge and us there

You’re too busy killing the adds

Is this a bug?

that's thancred

But that specific scene is likely just photo editing

woo, when tank goes "Good job" after a massive pull when you're healing

it was close

last big pull in Tower of Zot

[frail rapids]

Hey bois when will patch 6.01 happen?

or it's already released

[chilly bluff]

6.01 was last week. 12/21.

6.05 hits next Tuesday. 1/4

[frail rapids]

cause I cna't seem to see the pandemonium quest giver @chilly bluff

I'm already done with ew

[chilly bluff]

Should be right in front of the Annex in Sharlayan. Check journal? Do you have a quest called "Crystal From Beyond"?

[gaunt star]

Reposted for correct channel:

What a way to end the new year, I finally beat ZFex for the first time.

Now for the second ex trial

[frail rapids]

@chilly bluff Ohh shit yeah I already have it hahaha i guess that's why

thanks a lot man

[granite veldt]

has any1 seen a snippet of pandy savage ilvl req for p1s?

[pulsar current]

prolly 570 but we dont know 100% til patch notes

[granite veldt]

im capped on tomes and holding my pandy normal tokens til BiS is released lol

hopefully we can desynth moon gear next week and not wait til 6.1 ><

[sick kiln]

I finished EW tonight and it was so good. 😭 I can't wait to replay with my friends and for the next expansion... I know that's overly eager, there's lots to do in the mean time - but I'm still excited! This is the first time I've been totally caught up since I started playing a few years ago.

[fluid basalt]

the payoff after 10 years of ffxiv.... so good

[tranquil igloo]

It'll prob be another 1.5 years before another expansion, though we do have quite a few options for what we do next

[stiff charm]

well, 6.1 might as well be the start to a new one

so we will see

[tranquil igloo]

Though we'd prob need something to depower us in a sense since most stuff would prob feel basic by comparison now lol

[stiff charm]

no

we are still just a really strong fighter

90% of the insane shit we ahve pulled off is because of external help

[tranquil igloo]

We've beaten up ||zodiark, hydaelyn, and the endsinger|| so what would even compare in strength

[stiff charm]

who cares, new adventures

doesnt have to top the old one

[tranquil igloo]

But tbh we do have a lot of options atm

Everything from meracydia, all the other areas mentioned, and even other shards

[granite veldt]

i know of 2 areas we might be going to in 6.1 but if they are still standing.....

theyll probably be snippet zones, not the full thing

[tranquil igloo]

We're at least learning of the twelve with the alliance raids, but entire new zones prob won't happen for a while

[stiff charm]

closest things to zones we will get are hubs like the one in pandaemonium, stuff like terncliff and the like

and exploratory areas like bozja if we get another one of those

im sure the alliance raid and trial series will get at least one hub each

[granite veldt]

yep

and who knows what direction theyll go with trials

maybe crap in 86 zone

[stiff charm]

im still praying for four fiends

||we got 5 ascians unaccounted for still, and one of them could be dead||

||so that would be 4||

||pashtarot, halmarut, altima, and deudalaphon are still unaccounted for and likely alive||

||emmerololth is a bit iffy as its implied she(?) was raised after being killed kicking the isle of val into the lifestream but that could be an inconsistency||

[fluid basalt]

imagine ||emmer requiring completion of Eureka and BA||

[stiff charm]

||perhaps for ex ||

[granite veldt]

Etymology
"Pashtarot" refers to the Scion of Light "Pashtarot, Knight-Star" referred to in the profile of Zeromus from Final Fantasy XII. thats an interesting funfact....

if we ever go back to ivalice, they might bring him up there

[stiff charm]

every convocation seat except azem (and altima, sort of) refers to a scion of light from xii

it doesnt mean much

[regal lantern]

Listen, if we can exist as some super OP god slaying nodding hot shot, there’s no reason to not expect more super OP god slaying nodding hot shots

Imagine if we go to New Worlds and they’re like “oh you beat Hydaelyn and Zodiark? Pity, we saw them as mere tools. Yeah Ascians tried their shit here too but we told them, they can do whatever, and we will survive regardless and kick their ass”

This could explain why they didn’t intervene in the end of days

Cause it posed them no danger lmao

[stiff charm]

forgive me but this would be really fucking dumb

[tranquil igloo]

Tbh I wonder... While yeah we ||killed zodiark in the source, what happened to the other fragments? Do they just disappear now or are they still able to remake another half strength zodiark||

[stiff charm]

i assume ||they just kinda dispersed, since the source was killed||

||same reason ascians never wanted to blow up the source as it would probably blow up the shards too||

[fluid basalt]

we need someone to ||devise a way to stitch together a frankenzodiark from the surviving fragments||

[stiff charm]

what if we didnt do that

[fluid basalt]

gotta tie that loose end somehow

[tidal mauve]

14 Kars on Mars

[stiff charm]

how about ||"hey we killed the source so the shards died too"||

[buoyant hatch]

I figured that ||Anima basically gave the explanation of how Zodiark would be handled as well.||

[regal lantern]

The main part gone, the rest will be rendered useless. In the fight you can see parts of his body missing

Part of his limbs, torso, etc

Just like how if the source died, the reflections would die too

[tranquil igloo]

Tbh I really wanna see what mount we will get once we collect all the extreme mounts for EW

Since it's always the final reward mount that's the coolest

[half phoenix]

There were ||some severed arms and his waist.... not really anything they can do by themselves||

[half phoenix]

Eh

Kamuy of the Nine Tails would beg to differ on that

Also I doubt anything would top Landerwaffe

[fluid basalt]

can we have smaller mount as a reward. maybe winged shoes since this is the ||hermes expac after all||

[fluid adder]

[gaunt star]

Damn someone actually had a cool idea for next arc

What if ||the 13th Shard of Azem got corrupted by the Darkness and became the ruler of the Void?||

Imagine fighting ||yourself but empowered and corrupted by the Darkness||

[half phoenix]

Um.... 1. Not how darkness works. 2. Did you not see the new years post?

[gaunt star]

What post?

Also,it was something about rhe ||13th shard being flooded by darkness or something, that was the point ||

[half phoenix]

The annual New Years lodestone post, almost always has a poem that alludes to the upcoming story

[gaunt star]

Link?

[half phoenix]

Check #lodestone-news-na

The last line says “Unfettered from our trying past”

All but confirming Azem and the ancients don’t matter anymore

[gaunt star]

Doesn't necessarily mean ||azem can't be our evil twin BBEG affected by darkness on his shard||

It more implies no more ||ascians/ancients and any relevant plot points||

[half phoenix]

As for Darkness, it’s not evil, it itself can’t corrupt, it’s activity, those who are exposed to excessive amounts of darkness aether get starved of aether and constantly seek more

Like how light aether isn’t good

[gaunt star]

That's... pretty much concept wise the same thing 🤔

[half phoenix]

No.

You’re saying it’d basically turn a just soul into Diabolos

Someone who actively seeks destruction

Voidsents are literally just looking for food most of the time. Reaper Avatars feed on our aether and/or soul

[gaunt star]

Corruption means various things

Also the part with destruction v eating, the voidsent did literally the same thing but different reason

In terms of FATE, which area should I choose to level up from 80->81?

[rain onyx]

Thavnair or Labyrinthos

[gaunt star]

Thanks

[iron birch]

Or just bozja

Unless you don't have it

Also the darkness in the void naturally corrupts people

[graceful lance]

Everyone saying how bloodwetting is best thing warrior got yet nascent flash healed pretty good too in shadowbringers

[pulsar current]

bloodwhetting is nascent flash with more mitigation

And balance changes probably

[reef yacht]

yeah, treasure map dungeon and probably job changes

and new crafted combat gear

[humble heron]

Oh and capped tomestones, duh

[deep lintel]

any idea when they're opening up the Land Sales for the new plots?

I'm sure if someone actually knew then I wouldn't have a chance anyway lol

[cloud roost]

the soonest we can say any land will be available at this time will be 6.1 when empyreum releases

no one has any idea when auto demo will be turned back on

(and the former is assuming empyreum releases in 6.1 as planned)

[brisk quail]

Tomestones, Excitatron 3000, job balance patch, new crafted gear, savage raid

[dim sigil]

How will maps work lore wise in eplis tho

[granite nimbus]

Oh man, Ameliance would love Dulia Chai.

Alphinaud's mom and second mom.

[urban phoenix]

i think

the range phys job quest teased the new job we get with 7.0

gosetsu uses it

oooorrr he might be just a doman whm....

[untold gull]

i haven't done it but didn't he become a wandering monk?

so maybe it's just that?

[urban phoenix]

yes he became a wandering monk but returns in the job quest

oh but it could be a new job. they call his staff a cane....so maybe hes not a doman whm but something new

taoist / daoist came to mind when i saw what he used in battle

or Ascet....he calls his healing arts "ascetian arts"

[untold gull]

isn't ascetism just hermits?

[urban phoenix]

oooh hermit

that would be a fitting job description

hmt the shortening then 😄

[pulsar current]

But you could send the void sent to check up on them!

[urban phoenix]

eh im happy about the ending as it was

so far

i cried over every job quest once again

really the sobwalker....

[untold gull]

i've only done healer but i loved every bit of it

because it's just another one of those loose threads they tied up

am i the only who doesnt care bout the tank job quest

the gridanians have so many bad points i dont really can come up with concern for em

[glossy hemlock]

I liked the tank job quest more than the melee DPS one

[urban phoenix]

mhrm

i just dont have much sympathies for gridania

[glossy hemlock]

Can’t say I have much sympathy for any of the city states except like the ala mhigan refugees tbh

[indigo shale]

yeah none of the 3 city states + ishgard are that great, each having their own unique problems,

[urban phoenix]

yeah

but the gridanians are the worst tho

[indigo shale]

have you been to ishgard

[urban phoenix]

with the open racism and the "oh well some imaginary being said so so you better die if they say so" bs

meanwhile the leaders are....just incompetent really

[indigo shale]

the elementals arent imaginary, they can wipe out everyone should they so please

they ushered in the 6th umbral calamity, you dont want to anger them

[urban phoenix]

we both know thats not true and the ascians did that

so far the elementals are just the kind of story made up to scare the common folks...like the bogey man. did they even ever do something oô

something tangible? cant remember

[indigo shale]

the elementals flooded eorzea bringing in the 6th umbral calamity because they had enough of the war of the magi

[urban phoenix]

again thats what the people in the source believe

[indigo shale]

and their is nothing to really suggest the ascians influenced this war

[urban phoenix]

but we as the player know its the work of the ascians who joined another shard with the source

[indigo shale]

well tell the writers of the game and encylopedia eorzea that they are wrong about the war of the magi and the elementals

[urban phoenix]

its called making up a story while the rest isnt planned yet.....

i want you see making up background stories for a world as huge as ffxiv without any plotholes

[indigo shale]

whilst true the ascians prepped another shard for the rejoining, they did this based on what was happening in the source the incoming war that was causing the aether to go all whack

but it doesnt take away the fact the elementals caused the calamity due to the war of the magi

just because you dont like gridania doesnt mean you can ignore the entirety of the lore in game

[urban phoenix]

eh i still have the impression it was made up with arr to prop plotholes

which in turn got bigger later on because it couldnt align with the overall story

funny thing is

[indigo shale]

they were present in 1.0 aswell, reinforcing the laws of the shroud and even took on forms as level 90+ creatures that were guarding certain places

[urban phoenix]

you never hear of em again outside off arr

[indigo shale]

and also appear in the conjurer questline

[urban phoenix]

oh really?

i never played whm so

but its still all arr stuff

kinda a shame they didnt have the means or time? to spin that plot line further

but who knows

maybe they clean it up next?

[indigo shale]

well they did withdraw a bit after the 7th umbral calamity as it did have an effect on them, but how much we dont know, and its not worth genocide to find out

[urban phoenix]

oi cmon elliot its not like the elementals exist in irl....that sounds kinda weird now

[indigo shale]

i mean, if we are to anger them, and they kill everyone in the shroud it wouldnt look good no matter what anyone thinks of gridania

and greenwrath is not the way you'd want to go out

[urban phoenix]

eeeh well

i think if earthchan would be real some spanking could help

[indigo shale]

its also why gelmorra was built underground the duskwights didnt want to deal with that shit iirc

and even without ascian influencing calamities and rejoinings could still be a possibility

[urban phoenix]

you think so?

a lotta shit would need to go wrong though

[indigo shale]

well its just aether going whack on the source and another shard at the same time

[urban phoenix]

but aether doesnt go whack just like that

some hard labour is needed to make it go whack

[indigo shale]

causing the aether of the shard to join with the aether on the source to stabilise it so to speak

im pretty sure in the war of the magi that the ascians didnt have to do shit on the source for that, but they did take advantage and prepped a shard whilst that was going on, but i will have to brush up my understanding on that war to confirm or not, as the elementals were the tipping point for the source to be ready

[urban phoenix]

imma call it a day for now

i have my 3th shot today

[indigo shale]

the war broke out for "unclear reasons" now that could be a number of reasons, maybe ascians did something, maybe it was just a myriad of other problems with one thing to tip it over the edge, but either way a lot of shit went down, like the plague being created that transformed the nymians into tonberries and diablos being sealed away

[urban phoenix]

i probably flatline totally like i did on the first 2

[indigo shale]

fair enough

[stiff charm]

i dont think mhach suddenly did as wacky shit as it did with 0 ascian involvement

[urban phoenix]

5 am here

[stiff charm]

water spells arent naturally weaker or anything, they just chose not to use them

im pretty sure that may have been coerced

[urban phoenix]

fun fact water i seen as one of the weakest if not the weakest element in many games....mostly useful for healing

[indigo shale]

maybe, maybe not, its just not to clear what the causes and the tipping point was

[urban phoenix]

and im like "bruh....60% of the human body are made of water...what are you talking about?"

anyway imma sleep

happy hunting

[wind bough]

What about the fact that it happened

Of course the Ascians had a hand in it

It caused a Calamity

That means ||the Ascians had to carefully line up a water-heavy shard to coincide with the tipping point||

[granite nimbus]

I mean, it wasn't just the elementals.

It was the Black and White Mages going ham against each other that tipped the aetherial balance toward water.

Mhach also has all the hallmarks of an Ascian-handled civilization.

[echo orbit]

i mean ||panda|| looks to be basically mhach, so

[granite nimbus]

Astonishing advancements in technology and magics, imperialistic tendencies, a thirst for power and the desire to use it...

It's basically Allag or Garlemald but with more Lalas and more magic over alien tech.

[crystal arrow]

i'm gonna guess fandaniel had a part to play in mhach

[granite nimbus]

I just find the image of Emet building Mhach as a Lalafell hilarious.

It probably didn't happen since Mhach also had Hyur and Elezen.

But it's still a funny thought.

[indigo shale]

yeah but i mean i dont think the ascians had much a hand in getting the war started on the source, ofc they had to prep the other shard for it to work, they were just taking advantage of what was already happening

[wind bough]

Probably safe to assume that if the potential for a huge war existed, the Ascians got involved.

[untold gull]

It's always ascians

feel like the 89 dungeon should be put under expert and level 90 dungeons later

[tropic frigate]

What was the 89

O wait i think i remember

[untold gull]

||aitiascope||

the ||"hello, we serve tears in this dungeon"||

[dim sigil]

It's one im not going to mind into getting lot over shadowbringers .9 dungeon

[viral dew]

Get gud at retail suckers.

[mint sail]

dammit cleve, i'm a godslayer, not a fishmonger

[gusty birch]

finally finished EW, gonna listen to ||Close in the Distance and cry ||ok bye

[untold gull]

coward

||listen to Flow and cry instead||

[gusty birch]

|| I did that after ||

[untold gull]

[proud jewel]

whats the best way to level up from 83-90 aside from fate farming and roulletes/WT?

[stiff charm]

highest level dungeon

as usual

[dawn plume]

zadnor also still works

if thats more to your liking

[dark coyote]

I see people leveling in zadnor a lot with jobs past 80

I'm finishing up jobs to get to 80. Then going to do dungeons. Since new dungeons are pretty cool. And they give lots of XP

[dawn plume]

you should level to 81

no ew dungeon at 80

[fluid basalt]

not possible to run 81+ dungeons in trust avatar mode?

[untold gull]

you can use scenario mode

just won't level up any trust avatar

[vital brook]

@late willow this is you

[clever nebula]

holy shit ma dude.. i did that and listen to ||flow||

[open verge]

The best part is how the song references every expansion in the lyrics

[blazing edge]

||flow is gonna be the lullaby ill sing to my kids ||

[granite nimbus]

||It's hard as hell to sing though. So many high notes...||

[blazing edge]

its has very opera flair to it lol

||im just gonna sing it within my range as best I can||

[granite nimbus]

||She gave him the sickest burn he ever got though.||

[untold gull]

||And moped about it for most of the expac ||

[open verge]

||endwalker is just the existential crisis of being brought back to life||

||moral of the story if you die don’t come back to life||

Sicard was a stand out character this expac he’s tight

[fluid basalt]

Limsa role quest really shows they don't have enough side characters to feature...

[open verge]

I liked the Limsa side quest

Lyse ||in endwalker is based I love her||

||she even gives a nice speech in the ilsabard contingent cutscene that’s character development 😤||

[glossy hemlock]

Does she?

[open verge]

Yea

||it’s the one where she talks about how garleans were humans just like the rest of them and every started clapping I was so proud of her 😭||

||it’s before you make it to Garlemald in the lochs||

[untold gull]

Funny what not being in a spotlight of an expac gets you

[fluid basalt]

the Ilsabard contingent was great overall

i like how the ||secondary reps from each country got their airtime, instead of the usual leaders||

[open verge]

Yea it was a great decision

I said it before but Garlemald was the best individual zone story they ever did

[somber storm]

I'm half tempted to watch the cutscene again and see if it doesn't reflect on all the quest progression

[robust atlas]

I know for certain that the one cutscene in Sharlayan is effected by quest progression for sure

But realistically you could just look in the book and see if it has a quest progression icon next to it— if it doesn’t then you know it wouldn’t change

[somber storm]

And that's what I fear

[glossy hemlock]

???

[somber storm]

Look I don't want the pain of seeing all the characters that I met through all the jobs not be there/greet the wol for the first time

[glossy hemlock]

You mean || right before you go to Garlemald? ||

I just want NG+ so I can do the stuff directly after that cutscene || in the palace with everyone || again

[somber storm]

Ye

[lilac abyss]

I think they patched that to make it significantly more forgiving tho

[urban phoenix]

man i really dislike the tank jobquest

[indigo shale]

we had this conversation about 14 hours ago , about you not liking gridania

[urban phoenix]

nah nother reason now tbh

[open verge]

It’s pretty cool

Ngl

My only problem with it so far is

||kan e senna going nah bro trust me like 5 times when people have genuine concern||

[indigo shale]

so far id say the worst is the phys ranged

[open verge]

I liked the melee one so I’ll probably like all of em

[urban phoenix]

reaaaally?

[open verge]

I should finish up tank then do physical ranged

[urban phoenix]

i really liked the phys ranged one

what i dont like about the tank one is

they dont learn anything

they dont reflect

they are just like "oh lets use a even greater supernatural power to bruteforce our will"

i still have to do the healer and melee one

im workin on that now Xd

[languid summit]

I just finished realm reborn! Cannot wait to start the next expansion 😄

[steep coral]

I liked the tank and caster and healing one, I think by them showing cutscenes on ala mhigo and ishgard that they intended those to be the most important ones

The tank one in gridania from what it seems like is addition to kanna and gridania lore rather than focusing on the final days itself tbh, but the tank is fine imo(also the fact that paladin was the class they wanted everyone to play which is also a bit weird considering the role quest didnt have as much impact as the magic/healer roles), i have not tried phys and melee but judging from what im hearing, I hope its not that bad

[wet crown]

It does feel like the caster and healer quests were more focused on the Final Days, than the rest. Where they were simply something occuring in the background.

[humble heron]

This is the spoiler channel for the most current expansion so I would suggest not hanging out here until you finish shadowbringers

[wet crown]

I have yet to even start the tank quests but personally, I'd rank them as healer > caster > melee > ranged
They're all good for different reasons though. Don't get me wrong.

[steep coral]

Gotcha, ill do em and see whats up, and tank is good imo

[languid summit]

Oops thought I posted this in beginners chat 😅 thankyou!

[glossy hemlock]

I didn’t like the melee job quest at all lol..

At the beginning it was okay and then it just wasn’t enjoyable to me

Tank one was fairly good though

[wet crown]

Merlwyb carries the melee quests.

No suprise, it's Merlwyb after all.

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah so when she stops being as involved it’s like “oh okay hi guys whatever”

[wet crown]

I'm just in awe every time she's involved in a quest because I know she'll just do something extremely cool.

[glossy hemlock]

Lmao she’s just a badass tbh

[simple fiber]

You guys ever have a job you like mechanically, but hate the spell effects or sounds?

[open verge]

Nope

[reef yacht]

not so much hate but whm's afflatus misery is underwhelming af

[simple fiber]

Sage's kit feels good to use, at least so far in dungeons, but the spell sounds are not my favorite hah

[cloud roost]

if you aint max level yet, the sounds do all change

so you might like the higher level sounds

(or you may hate them, alas)

[open verge]

Only sound I actually hate is chaotic spring

Chaotic spring sounds ridiculously stupid

[gaunt star]

The 2nd extreme (the one with weapon) looks hard, but what is the difficulty of it? Is it manageable to clear within a few practice parties?

[wet crown]

I dunno how to answer this honestly. If you play well, you'll clear with ease.

[cloud roost]

It's harder than the first extreme, but it's still relatively easy to clear with some practice

[wet crown]

Everything below ultimate is designed to give you time to learn how mechanics are resolved. From there it's up to you to figure out how to do them without dying. It's not hard, it's a learning process.

[simple fiber]

I'm at 85, dps spell effects are at their cap. They aren't as annoying as the first two ranks thankfully. The heals sound weird to me too.

But sage spells just irk me a bit. It's the same with drk's weird lightsaber sounds.

[wet crown]

People love the sfx on SGE for exactly what they are.

Very sci-fi-y feel.

[simple fiber]

It's the thing that bugs me about the job but the kit is nice and fluid with ogcds I like.

[steep kiln]

what the CHRIST did EW do to blm

[dim sigil]

Fixed it

[steep kiln]

enochian maybe but what the hell did they do to freeze

[dim sigil]

I don't know I haven't leveled blackmage yet but I I heard some annoying parts are gone

[steep kiln]

enochian becmae a trait

but now freeze is back to like. heavensward

[wet crown]

You use freeze to get umbral hearts for flare
It's worse than ShB but better than HW and SB

[steep kiln]

shb was perfection

[untold gull]

pew pew pew pew

[steep kiln]

literally the only thing it wouldve needed is that enochian trait

also anything is better than sb tbh

“blm is yoshidas baby surely they wont remove anything”

[tidal mauve]

now you use 2 whole fire 2s in the aoe rotation

[simple fiber]

Hey, at least you can use flare when synced low

[sudden spruce]

Do we ||still have the blessing of light with mommy gone now?||

[glossy hemlock]

Yes

I don’t think her magic just disappears if she’s gone

[humble heron]

I mean it did for papalymo

[glossy hemlock]

He also had to like constantly keep that up though right

[untold gull]

||it's a traveler's ward really - something venat created before hydaelyn is a thing so i doubt it would just disappear||

Yeah, he probably did

[open verge]

When the hell will the ||azem crystal be written out||

[somber storm]

||Never, we'll wear it||

[open verge]

||the WoL trips and falls and clutches the azem crystal summoning 7 of the universes most powerful heroes||

|| pandemonium does show the memories of the crystal can fade out so I’m not that worried||

[untold gull]

||tbf that was a crystal that's been in aetherial sea for so long||

[open verge]

Oh that’s true

[untold gull]

they probably would keep it mostly as a plot point ||after emet just told us to do our job so we'd probably go back to asking help from our adventurer friends and have azem's crystal as a back up for major fights we needed friends right away||

[somber storm]

||Azem crystal is just a permanent party||

[keen osprey]

So... i've always wondered... what happens to the people summoned by Azem's crystal?

Do we send them back where they came from? Or do they walk back after we're done using them?

Imagining teleporting across great distances, or across reflections, to fight the ||Endsinger at the edge of the universe||... and you're stuck there now... oops

[solid knot]

the funny thing about the final zone is that i tried hard as i could to sprint the whole way through because of muh immersion, but i couldnt do that and soak it in, so i had to do it in two parts... to say nothing about the absurdity of ||leaving most of the scions in bleeding limbo and the Twins staring at the crystal bridge as i fucked off to do dailies and handle stuff back on eorzea|| there's also the fact of just jumping to and fro with ||Ragnarok|| just sitting there...

and then lo and behold ||this Jammingway fellow just waves that thing with Ragnarok|| off, but only after the fact lmao

[solid knot]

Azem's crystal is a job crystal, and you are actually just an Ancient version of SMN

[gusty birch]

But like, who is ||Azem||

[tidal mauve]

me :)

[gusty birch]

I finsihed EW, and I dont remember meeting them

just that ||Venat's old role was Azem||

[dawn plume]

you didnt meet them

you just heard people talking about them

[gusty birch]

but why does everyone think you are ||azem's familiar||

[dawn plume]

||and your the part of the sundered azem||

[gusty birch]

||sundered azem?||

[dawn plume]

|| you know what sundering is ?||

[gusty birch]

not sure

heard the term used but I dont think I ever made a connection

[dawn plume]

||like how venat sundered the first into shards||

||and every person with it||

[gusty birch]

||So we are a shard of Azem?||

[dawn plume]

||we are part of azem thats why our aether looks like azem and why the ancients assumed your his familiar||

its like how ||amon was a sundered fandaniel||

[gusty birch]

||But Venat stepped down, and there was a new Azem... that's where I get confused. Even when we first arrive, emet selch and hythlodaeus think you're Azems familiar, but theyre like "Oh Azem isn't here" and they say Venat was the old Azem||

[dawn plume]

yes there is ||another azem we havent met there||

||you know that azem is just a title ?||

||like how emet selch is just a title and his real name is hades||

[gusty birch]

||Wonder if the other Azem is the weird person you see in a short clip at the end, but that seemed like a man and they refer to Azem as a woman, so idk||

Oh okay

[dawn plume]

||that person had elidbus voiceactor fyi||

[untold gull]

||Azem's gender is whatever your character's gender is||

[dawn plume]

||and you can find out about them in the raid series right now||

[gusty birch]

Ah okay, I still have to do that

[rain onyx]

Probably gonna be a beast tribe

[warm trench]

I'm giving an EX a go and I just wanna say fuck these meteors I swear it must be ping dependant lol I hit sprint and everything

[untold gull]

everything is ping dependent

[prisma niche]

just bring a scholar 4head

[open verge]

Which fight is meteors?

[spare delta]

||On Azem. The question is if they mean Venat or the current Azem. Because surely we would have some kind of spiritual similarity with Venat given our connection, or do they mean current Azem? That would mean that Venat chose us, or Azem as a worthy champion, even if we were just a sliver of their soul, or 9/14ths if thats right. Which would make us similar to Fandaniel or Amon in a way.||

||Unless Im missing something and am being dumb which is most the time||

[untold gull]

the latter

[gusty birch]

||Like Venat retired, so when they call it an Azem crystal, and keep referring to Azem, it just confused me. Because actual Azem is someone we never met. Venat is just post-Azem, as it were. I know it is the title, not the person, so why is Venat still connected to Azem if she is retired? It just isn't as clear or maybe I wasnt paying attention. The multiple names for the people confused me a lot. And then theres different races. Theres the ancients, the ascians, and modern people. I guess I needed an ELI5 somewhere in the story, if its really not that confusing to others. ||

[untold gull]

||well, i mean, she was current azem's mentor||

[gusty birch]

||So is it implying the power is in the role of Azem, and once you've attained that role, you're forever tied to it||

[blazing edge]

||Ascians aren't a race btw, they're moreso a death cult group than anything else. They can pick up lackeys as any sundered individual||

[untold gull]

you mean with the crystal?

[gusty birch]

||well there is the Azem crystal, and then everyone kept saying you were Azem's familiar, because your aether looked like hers.||

|| How could our aether/soul/whatever be Azem's if we were made by Venat, who is no longer Azem||

[untold gull]

||with the crystal, it refers to Venat's successor. so every time it's referred, it's normally talking about that. also, we just told everyone we are because that's the best way to explain our circumstance without having people ask questions on why we're awfully like azem||

we weren't made

[indigo shale]

||what, we werent made by venat||

||we are just a reincarnation of whoever azem was at the time of the sundering||

[inner ice]

|| we are the sundered soul of the sitting azem, we have the blessing of hydaelyn (venat) ||

[blazing edge]

||Venat just gives us the Blessing of Light, we weren't made by anyone besides being born||

[untold gull]

||and whenever she refers to all of us as her children, it's more of hydaelyn acting like everyone's mom because she's the reason we exist like that||

[gusty birch]

||okay, we werent made by them, but they still act like we were in Elpis||

[inner ice]

because they think that

|| we don't elaborate on our identity until later ||

[untold gull]

||because at the very start, we were told to tell everyone we're Azem's familiar. it's outlandish enough that people would believe it if it's Azem||

[indigo shale]

||we were pretending to be current azems familiar, venat has nothing to do with that||

[inner ice]

|| and since hythae and emet can see peoples souls, and we are the sundered azem, they think we are a familiar ||

[untold gull]

||if anything Venat outed us ||

[inner ice]

|| our aether was thin enough comparatively to the ancients so that we could just be considered a familiar ||

[gusty birch]

hmm, it seems like people recognized ||us as Azem's familiar before being introduced, but maybe im wrong||

[untold gull]

we look like em

i mean Azem, we look like Azem

[indigo shale]

||no we dont, as that would made no sense as no other race exsited really back then||

[blazing edge]

||We feel similar to Azem, and Azem apparently does whack things like having a very sapient and incredibly capable familiar||

[untold gull]

cough volcano story cough

[gusty birch]

Wonder if we will ever meet Azem

[indigo shale]

no reason to

[gusty birch]

why not, if theyre so important ||and we made from their sundered soul or whatever||

[indigo shale]

they havent already so we never will

azem is not important anymore

the HvZ arc is done

azem means nothing

[inner ice]

|| Elidibus specifically told us to not do anything that would alter history ||

|| so when emet recognized our soul as azem's we just took the role of his familiar ||

[gusty birch]

||Azem means nothing, but the Azem crystal is literally part of what saves everyone||

[indigo shale]

||now like the 2 people who cared we were azem are dead, their is no reason to meet azem, plus from what hyth says no one really knows where he is atm so its about a 0% chance of meeting||

[untold gull]

||i still think there's some way unsundered Azem would know about us. With the raid and all...||

[inner ice]

i should do the raid

[gusty birch]

me too lol

[inner ice]

im just too lazy to grind out the stuff to get to the ilvl requirement

[untold gull]

you should do the raid

because it puts into question all this about meeting Azem

also, more pretty eyes

[gusty birch]

whats the ilvl requirement

[untold gull]

565

[gusty birch]

Oh, doesn't seem too bad

[untold gull]

only reason i remembered is because one time i got stuck at 564

[gusty birch]

lol

cant you just buy some rings or something

[untold gull]

no

well, yeah but you need to grind for tomes

[gusty birch]

of poetics or others?

[blazing edge]

High ilvl rings you can only get with tomes or EXs rn

[gusty birch]

I been grinding for tomes forever

[blazing edge]

No the tomes you get from using a max lvl character on synced content

[gusty birch]

synced content?

[blazing edge]

So lvl 90s on roulettes

[gusty birch]

ohhh

I need to do my stupid job quests

idk why, but I hate doing them

[untold gull]

you don't have to

[blazing edge]

Should probably do them, what's your job?

[untold gull]

not unless you want to dye your job gear

[blazing edge]

Wait are we talking role quests or job quests lol

[gusty birch]

i have the tank one and the ranged dps one unlocked

[untold gull]

oh wait

so role quest

[gusty birch]

role quest

[blazing edge]

Yea you don't need to do them then

[untold gull]

yeah, you don't have to

[blazing edge]

They're just there for story and AF gear dye

[gusty birch]

oh, then how do I do the lvl 90 roulettes

[blazing edge]

Beat the MSQ for Expert Roulette

[gusty birch]

I beat msq

and it says I cant do that

because of "???"

[blazing edge]

You need to do the extra dungeons

[gusty birch]

I will show you, but I am in main scenario roulette now D:

extra dungeons?

[blazing edge]

Blue quests in Sharlayan iirc

[gusty birch]

ohh

okay!

good, because I dont wanna do role quests lol

I will probably do them to unlock the dye thing

but ugh

[blazing edge]

Inb4 future content needs you to do them all for the super secret special questline

[gusty birch]

I'll just suck it up and skip it all like I did with ShB

[blazing edge]

Dang

Caster and Healer were the best role quests for ShB though

Missed best girl Giott

[gusty birch]

oh

idk why, I just didnt care, maybe it was a good story, but it was uninteresting to me

[untold gull]

healer on EW is good too. ties up that plot thread nicely

giott story is really nice

[blazing edge]

ShB role quest was mostly uncovering the story of Ardbert's companions

[gusty birch]

I was just like, wanting to get on with MSQ

and they were stopping me

so I did them saltily

[blazing edge]

lol

[limber kite]

What's the fastest way to reach 100% on DoH spiritbond? I'm level 90 and I want to earn some gil but I don't know which process is the best

[untold gull]

ya know, one thing i hope they update is the night skybox

because pretty sure they can afford to do so now

[dim sigil]

Is 11 good

[pulsar current]

story is decent

gameplay is...

[somber storm]

old

[dim sigil]

Well whatever it is I bought it so it's going to be fun I hope baby

[placid sail]

it's from a different era of MMORPGs

[pulsar current]

before the evil of wow took over

[iron haven]

So weird question, do we know what we're getting next maintenance tomorrow ? Savage raids ?

[narrow elk]

wait

there’s a maintenance tomorrow?

wtf am i gonna do for 12 hours of my day

[iron haven]

I've heard people say stuff about keeping maps for after this maint so I guess there's somethign there ?

[urban phoenix]

shame

no follow up after the job quests

They where all good besides the tank one....devs must have been out of steam

[wet crown]

or maybe, you'll simply have to wait

the full resolution of the ShB role quests didn't happen until 5.2 and the follow-up void quests

[placid sail]

6.05 adds the weekly capped tomestones, new gear that you can buy with them, the savage raids, crafting recipes for the new highest ilvl of crafted gear, and a new treasure map dungeon

[pulsar current]

savage raids, ilvl 580 crafted gear, and portals appear for the lvl 90 maps. LOTS of gil to be made from them.

[placid sail]

basically the real end-game progression starts tomorrow

[pulsar current]

its only 5 hours long thankfully

[high swan]

So crafted 580 tomorrow

Why do The current ex trails then

I started both of them yesterday for the first time and cleared the first one. Cba doing the second one if I can just craft a weapon

[mint sail]

glamses

[high swan]

They don't even glow

[snow plaza]

Because they’re both super easy trials and u can gear up like 4 classes in 30 minutes

[high swan]

Okay

[dim sigil]

I hope crafted is going to be unique

[tropic frigate]

Is crafted not as good as trial 2 ex wep? But equal when penta'd?

[pulsar current]

they've been around for a month, have different substats from the crafted, and dont cost any gil

[pulsar current]

we dont know yet

[tropic frigate]

Its a lot more effort to me to go through penta meld

[pulsar current]

it'll depend on what gear gets what substats

some crafted may be better than the ex with no melds

some may be worse even when pentamelded

[brisk quail]

Easy trials, better substats possibly

[dim sigil]

Because cool weapon

[brisk quail]

You have technically 3 sets of accessories to choose from with substats

And 2 weapons

3 if you choose to wait 6 more weeks

[blazing edge]

tell that to Crystal PF, ive only done 4 clears with about 45 runs

[dim sigil]

When you get to like 5% but people die stupid

Like most people not spreading into light party Stacks after the 8th man stack

[pastel venture]

Greed is real at low boss hp%

[weary rampart]

what , which EX ? cant be EX 1 rite

[blazing edge]

Yes

EX1

[weary rampart]

.......

did u went into practice group?

[north silo]

I still don’t understand what greed is

[blazing edge]

15 of those runs were yeah lol

[gusty quiver]

Taking damage and disregarding shit you should do in order to do more damage yourself. That and taking risks like "that wont kill me probably" or tunnel visioning

[weary rampart]

aka High risk high return .

[late aurora]

“Sure I might get hit by the bad, but my damage”

[pastel venture]

Essentially going for big dps at the risk of failing a mechanic

[distant elk]

Do you guys think that || Gaius || will rejoin the main plot at any point going forward? Disappointed to not see the character in Endwalker

[pulsar current]

probably, at least he was there for a little bit and explained why he wasnt in the garlemald part

suprised he didnt show up in any of the role quests

[urban phoenix]

isnt he helping that one country he once ruled and that was ruined by that other guy?

why dig up old bones if they tried to finish it with 6.0

[indigo shale]

werlyt? that werent ruined by anyone else but gaius

valens if thats who im thinking you are talking about hasnt touched werlyt

[urban phoenix]

eh wasnt gaius known for having a merciful hand?

[indigo shale]

no

[urban phoenix]

he didnt force peeps to fight for garlemald

and let people rise ranks on ability not background

[indigo shale]

he did, anyone that was non garlean was forced to fight, look at all the ala mhigo conscripts

that was there under his rule

[urban phoenix]

that was under zenos

[indigo shale]

no

[urban phoenix]

yes

[indigo shale]

zenos was there barely a year, gaius was there for 20 years

[urban phoenix]

its said not only once that he didnt force the ala mhigans who didnt want to fight

they had a shitty life for sure

but he didnt force em into the frontline

[indigo shale]

if they werent forced to fight they wouldnt be called conscripts

[urban phoenix]

you can conscript people for more than just battle

[indigo shale]

gaius wasnt ever merciful, the only legatus that came close to that was garbranth, and thats cause he fucked off to create his own nation

also having people rise ranks due to ability was not anything only gaius did, both gabranth and zenos had high ranking non garleans, with both of those 2 having way more non garlean officers than gaius

Why isn’t this an emote in this discord

Smh

[prime niche]

lol, I made it

small enough version for discord xd

[random rock]

Ty I’m saving this

[gusty quiver]

Zenos de Boomer

[random rock]

[prime niche]

I also have this version, but as it's towards the end of the MSQ I haven't used it, lol

great scene tho

[gusty quiver]

I dont remeber it looking like this

[high swan]

samke

[wet crown]

time of the day isn't fixed for the meal scene

[high swan]

except no clears and about 14 atempts

[gusty quiver]

It looked like this because of all my tears

[prime niche]

heh

[haughty crater]

prices are cracked rn

Just made 800k in 20mins with a tradeskill

[prime niche]

it really do be that way

[haughty crater]

shes sipping a cup of nin tears

[prime niche]

[open verge]

Lmfao

[granite nimbus]

||Just make sure to talk to Urianger for silly drunk Urianger.||

[gray trench]

Is there a WHM staff like the ||Hermes staff?||

||The caduceus staff would be perfect for my Doctor glamour||

[prime niche]

Not from what I can see

[gaunt star]

does anyone know what the title of the song at phase 1 at trial 3? the medley one

[wet crown]

I don't think we know, yet. Unless I'm wrong?

[late aurora]

We don’t have an orchestrion roll for it, so...

[humble heron]

Biggest Fattest Tacos

[uneven condor]

Yeah we’ll probably get it in 6.1 when the ex comes out

[primal swift]

Any patch notes Yet?

[rain onyx]

Nope

Have to wait for the maintenance to start in 6 hours

And then usually the patch notes go up within the first hour or two of maintenance

[brisk quail]

I'm hype to see PLD buff

And WAR nerf

And RPR nerf

[glad thicket]

not too sure on pld buff (if any tank drk would get it) but expect rpr nerf if not here than in .1

[slate ridge]

i heard the ew msq is underwhelming compared to shb. is it as least better than sb?

[dim sigil]

Rpr needs a buff pret bad

[stiff charm]

all up to your own personal experience. art do be like that

[obtuse trout]

I loved it personally

[stiff charm]

endwalker is my favorite part of my favorite game ever but of course that doesnt have to be the same for you

[obtuse trout]

And I'd personally put it above ShB but as emerald said it all comes down to personal preference

So if u in the end enjoyed ShB more that's 100% valid

[stiff charm]

shb is probably """better""", whatever that means, but endwalker resonated with me more on a personal level

i can relate to the themes of shb a lot less than i can ew

[high swan]

I'm with you

Plus I hated the purple trees of lakeland

Everything about EW was great bar Loloporis

[brisk quail]

Loporrits rocked

Wym

[high swan]

Ok. They are cool

But the MSQ section with them went on far to long

[brisk quail]

Okay fair

[gentle rose]

I enjoyed pretty much all of Shadowbringers, but although Endwalker was also good, it had some very skippable parts.

[hollow ice]

EW > SHB but thats mostly because I still have the other expansions fresh in my mind

[granite nimbus]

I'm debating whether to farm white scrips for folklore tomes or purple scrips for materia.

[limber kite]

How much will each master recipe cost? I want to know how much scripts I need to save

[granite nimbus]

800 each, I think?

[cloud roost]

they cost 1200 in shb

but we have no true idea how much they will cost

[granite nimbus]

That then.

[cloud roost]

i think the general consensus was bank white scrips assuming they could cost as much as 2000

[limber kite]

White scrips? Not purple?

[granite nimbus]

White Scrips.

[cloud roost]

yeah, precedent says it will be white scrips

again, nothing can be said for certain, they could do anything, but it should be white scrips if they do the same as before

[limber kite]

Fuuuuuuck I had over 4000 saved

Purple scrips

[cloud roost]

there should be more stuff to buy tomorrow with purple scrips anyway

[limber kite]

Time to buy materia I guess....

[cloud roost]

so they wont go to waste

[limber kite]

Farming white scrips from cero.... I wasted hours gathering and crafting collectables thinking i'd need purple scrips

[cloud roost]

look at material costs for old collectibles

if you can find something that's easy to craft at level 80 or below, you can spam craft it with Trained Eye

[limber kite]

So they will add new stuff to buy with purple scrips as well?

[granite nimbus]

Yes.

[limber kite]

Hopefully it will be worth my hours wasted.... Should have asked first

[cloud roost]

don't worry, there will be materials you need to buy with your purple scrips for the new master recipes

so the purples you've spent time getting will be useful

[sour ivy]

Does anyone have a link to the updated patch/event timeline?

[cloud roost]

it's just that you will indeed have to get white scrips instead for the recipe books

[limber kite]

Hopefully it will be like that

[halcyon violet]

Historically food / pots use purple mats afair

[gloomy shale]

when deez patch notes go up?

[pale mirage]

Is there any news regarding cross dc travel?

[echo orbit]

it'll happen soon(tm)

[open verge]

6.1

could be delayed because you cant even world visit lmao

[rain onyx]

Sometime during maintenance

[open verge]

no fucking way

LOOOOOL

[gaunt star]

Pupperfilla

[keen osprey]

omg lol

[gaunt star]

I actually think they might give warrior slight potency buffs

[pulsar current]

bloodwhetting now benes everyone for 25s

[gaunt star]

I mean I get our healing is strong but our dps is only a fraction of the power we had in heavenward.we aren't fully back to the glory days yet
