[sudden spruce]

I have a feeling ||hes still not dead dead||

[frigid igloo]

this is so weird i know y'shtola had her eyes changed between ARR and HW ||but i never knew she can't see??||

[blazing edge]

Flow basically rendered her blind

[frigid igloo]

until ||the end of the unknown imperial soldier duty and the thavnir duty during the final days|| i didn't notice a thing :|

[blazing edge]

It gets mentioned after we recover her and meet Matoya

There's a scene where Matoya knows she's blind and is using aether sight to see instead

Around post HW iirc

They point out in Shadowbringers how she doesn't recognize you from aether sight alone because of the lightwardens you've absorbed

[frigid igloo]

she did indeed but it went over my head

thx for explaining

[granite nimbus]

RDM's Triple Melee Combo is SO SATISFYING.

I find it weird that people call RDM boring?

[earnest sedge]

It used to be boring

And annoying to optimize to a certain extent

Its better now

[warped socket]

So the difference between this channel and the #general-discussion is that on this channel you can write about and post stuff without censoring spoilers up to endwalker?

[warped socket]

#retired-patch-6-3-discussion message Nevermind alright

Question answered

I was wondering why people still censor stuff in this channel

[sleek prism]

My character just happened to look identical to hermes and I thought hermes was a reflection of your character and copied their appearance

[glossy hemlock]

Lmao

[jade relic]

because earlier/just after release, there was a separate channel to discuss untagged spoilers. This channel was originally to discuss job changes, patch notes etc and any spoiler in here had to be tagged - or go to the spoiler channel. That habit has stuck. I was wrong, check here #retired-patch-6-3-discussion message

[steady valve]

just noticed this corner of thavnir and this guy is in a perpetual state of getting mugged

[carmine basin]

Anyone knows where this is https://twitter.com/Seika1245/status/1484759989537611777?s=20

I know its in Thavnair but where

[wind bough]

Spoiler tags are still enforced here

[somber storm]

I think I remember seeing it close to the training dummies

[wind bough]

Check the pins.

This channel exists because of the high amount of server traffic that accompanies an expansion release

The only place you can post about EW stuff without spoiler tags is #916247709462200390

[carmine basin]

Thanks I'll check there!!

[somber storm]

actually wait, that little tower bit on the left looks like the daiva arena

[carmine basin]

Found it; its near the fishing village

[peak lake]

What Is best way to level alts now from 80-90 is running trust 85 dungeon better than 87 dungeon?

[late aurora]

Do the highest dungeon

[open rapids]

Why do I always click on this trying to click general

[granite nimbus]

Shrug

[inner heron]

Twitch Farba88

[late aurora]

No advertising

[wintry niche]

Question on the 89 trial: when she does the bit with summoning all the crystals, are you supposed to hide behind a crystal for the big attack from the center, or just get as far away as possible without falling off the platform?

[wind bough]

hide and break line of sight

[wintry niche]

Thanks.

[weary rampart]

wait which part? the 6 "targetable" crystal or the non targetable ones

[inner ice]

my character was wearing a maid dress in the last endwalker scene

he ascended

to a better plane of existence

[stuck trout]

At which msq level will ||bozja|| be referenced in the msq? Planning on finishing that before continuing on that part (currently at the start of lvl 88 msq)

[late aurora]

It already was?

[chilly bluff]

||It would have been by now, albeit not directly. A Bozja NPC appears when the Ilsabard Contingent gathers for the first time.||

[stuck trout]

Ohhhh so I passed it already so it's good to continue msq for now?

[late aurora]

You can always just rewatch the cutscenes

If it matters that much

[stuck trout]

Hmmm yeah I guess I'll do that. Thanks @chilly bluff and @late aurora!

Will continue msq now

[sudden spruce]

What content here requires spoiler mark? Anything post shb?

[chilly bluff]

Story related content from 6.0 iirc

[sudden spruce]

Oki ty

[trim linden]

cannelle: Im not sure..but I think one npc was at sharlayan harbour

[stuck trout]

Ohhhh okaay. Will he/she appear even if I haven't finished dal?

[trim linden]

i dont know

do the msq and we will see

[wind bough]

Happens again around 89

[stuck trout]

Ohhh okaay. Will finish lvl 88 first then~

I think I got to the good part too so dont know if I can stop xD

[stable ice]

||I just did mommy crystal I have never seen so many people keep dying to the same mechanic over and over||

[atomic tangle]

me all the time

[stable ice]

I mean I don’t expect anyone to know the first but when u explain all mechanics after every wipe and put markers is kinda sad

We could only clear after we told all to just follow ot or a healer

[lean ore]

|| thats why i did it with trusts ||

[stable ice]

Tbh after all the set up I was really considering it it felt like the natural thing to do

[lean ore]

felt more impactful with the MSQ too xD

tho i did trusts everything in EW

[frigid igloo]

entire msq spoilers || i just arrived to elpis, would it be correct to call these people ascians? they refer themselves as just mankind||

[onyx sundial]

Theyre very different

[frigid igloo]

oh

[indigo shale]

ascians specifically refer to those loyal to zodiark post sundering, only 3 ancients have become ascians (being lahabrea, emet selch and elidibus) as those 3 werent sundered, all the others are just sundered beings

[frigid igloo]

i will settle with icecream's answer. I'm sorry i'm scared of that spoiler =( i promise i will come back and read it after msq

[indigo shale]

this is shadowbringers stuff tbh, idk why i tagged it

[frigid igloo]

a

[wet crown]

Ascians are people tempered by Zodiark. It's that simple.

[frigid igloo]

oh that's what he meant by loyal to

[wet crown]

People who are not tempered by Zodiark are not Ascians.

[frigid igloo]

cuz like idk ||if my character is tempered or loyal to hyaedelin jajaja||

[indigo shale]

only 3 ascians are tempered imo

[frigid igloo]

wow i never noticed i thought they were acting in self volition

[indigo shale]

i dont think those that get raised to the seats get magically tempered as they are only imbued with the knowledge and memories of those who held the seat before

and i dont think black masks are tempered either, leaving only lahabrea, emet -selch and elidibus as the 3 who are tempered to zodiark

[grave jackal]

was there any interviews regarding how answers was created?

It still amazes me how they managed to tie the 1.0 ending song to the last 2 expac

[glossy hemlock]

I think most people || just call them Ancients || btw

[glossy hemlock]

In regards to your thing lol

[gaunt star]

Ah yes that 1 hour ||P1N|| solo warrior run was interesting

I kinda met the guy on PF too lol

[late aurora]

Those are huge spoilers, how hard is it to tag the names

[gaunt star]

Pls censor it by spoiler tag

Spoiler tag is ez on PC anyway

[warped socket]

Ok my fault

[indigo shale]

8 warriors only stuff is nothing impressive anyway, it happens all the time

[warped socket]

#archived-lore-spoilers Alright

[late aurora]

We tag EW stuff there too

[warped socket]

Yeah but to the changes to Raw Intuition and with Bloodwheeting its even more ridiculous now

[sick pier]

||"We will stand against this fate."

"No matter the cost!"

"This is Thancred."||

[frigid igloo]

entire MSQ spoilers || this dungeon makes it very difficult to find a group instead of playing with my best friends the guys on black i liked them soo much during ShB can i not play with both||

[blazing edge]

most people felt the same lol

[urban phoenix]

i just watched a preach video where he does last steps before the emet selch fight. and preach says or hypotizes we are emet selchs lost love

that kinda blew my mind....is there any weight on that theory?

[urban phoenix]

yeah really whoever didnt do that one with trust deserves a spanking

[late aurora]

Azem was very close, that much we know

[sullen sky]

people in DF will literally be like "no we need healer LB3 it's too hard" instead of learning the mechanics >->

[urban phoenix]

didnt he was like "uuugh" because azem was so reckless?

[urban phoenix]

goddamn i cant wait for preach to reach endwalker

[astral raven]

kekw

[brisk quail]

That's a faker

They're missing the first name ||mommy||

[urban phoenix]

these copies where funny back in the day. now they are just tasteless

they also spoil the game...

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah they actually can get reported tbh lol

[indigo shale]

they arent spoilers

its only a spoiler if you aready know about it, no one that hasnt done that content isnt going to know what that is, so it means nothing to them

[late aurora]

If your name is [insert character]’s ghost or something, that’s blatant

[urban phoenix]

A spoiler is an element of a disseminated summary or description of any narrative that reveals plot elements.

that there is pretty much a spoiler. even double before endwalker

[indigo shale]

its not a spoiler, because those to those that havent done 5.2 the name venat wont mean anything to anyone, and when you learn about venat you learn she is hydaelyn at the same time anyway

its as much a spoiler as the ShB collectors edition mount is

[urban phoenix]

it is a spoiler. it spoils twice. first it connects the name hydaelyn with the name of venat. secondly it connects both names with a human being. before endwalker most would have connected hydaelyn with the mothercrystal and not a primal chilling at the mother crystals place.

so yes since it brings up connections you cannot know if you did not play endwalker it is a spoiler

[indigo shale]

yeah, but by the time you learn of the connection it gets revealed at the same time anyway, and we learn hydaelyn is a primal in 5.0, EW has fuck all to do with that part

[urban phoenix]

and even more so with the outfit of the ancients

[urban phoenix]

yes we learn that hydaelyn is a primal in 5.0 true. but did we learn the visual appearance of her. no we didnt

[indigo shale]

its still not a spoiler, show that to someone in ARR/HW/SB and most of ShB and they arent going to understand a single thing of connect that with anything till they get to that respective point in the msq, you are just speaking from the perspective of actually having finished the content

[urban phoenix]

it doesnt matter. it reveals plot elements before their time and with that per definition is a spoiler

[indigo shale]

it reveals no plot elements

[wet crown]

Before ShB, we got hints that Hydaelyn and Zodiark are primals. Many even assumed so anyway due to logical conclusions.
In 5.0, we get direct confirmation for that.
In 5.2, we learn that Venat became Hydaelyn's heart.

Therefore, this is a 5.2 spoiler.

Why does that need to be discussed? What does it matter anyway?

[indigo shale]

its not even a 5.2 spoiler, all the way to that respective scene the name venat means nothing and has no connection to anything, though it can become a spoiler if you specifically tell someone the exact connection and when it is

[wet crown]

It doesn't tell you anything.

[indigo shale]

telling someone that that name is a spoiler is the actual spoiler and not the name

[gaunt star]

Next people will say you shouldn't use the EW MSQ mount

[indigo shale]

wait till people learn what titles are

[late aurora]

Borf

[gaunt star]

I remember someone here said "The name for the trials should be changed because I was spoiled by them because I looked at my friends list and saw what location they were in"

[indigo shale]

what would they change the trial names to, to avoid "spoilers" they would have to be named as such "trial #1, trial #2 and etc" and tha would be quite bad

[gaunt star]

Exactly

I got yelled at for using the Herois minion in Limsa one time

[indigo shale]

people get to sensitive about what is considered a spoiler, seems unless you use no titles, no minions, no mounts, use lore accurate names, dont use DF, no dungeons, no trials, no raids and only wear arr outifts then everything is a "spoiler"

[gaunt star]

How dare you use outfits the MSQ gives you

[blazing edge]

I can't wait for preach to come to 5.3

[river hound]

Finally i found someone that agrees with me about spoilers.

[brisk quail]

Petition to rename Amon's hat to Clone's hat

[glossy hemlock]

[wet crown]

Why is this channel still up. It should be gone by now.

[indigo shale]

will probably go when the tag spoiler rule is lifted

[wind bough]

That will never be lifted

[indigo shale]

which its been over 2 months now so its quite strange its still up

[wind bough]

Spoiler tag rules continue to apply for ARR and all expansions, in all channels except #archived-lore-spoilers

Always

The only lifting of spoiler tag restrictions would be allowing EW untagged in #archived-lore-spoilers

[indigo shale]

right but what do other channels have to do with this one and lore spoilers

[wind bough]

???

[late aurora]

Don’t spoil shit for people, it’s not hard

[wind bough]

Your question doesn’t make sense

This channel, like all other channels except #ALL SPOILERS ALLOWED - Patch 6.0 - Endwalker Lore (and eventually #archived-lore-spoilers ), has spoiler tags enforced

[indigo shale]

right, but that has nothing to do with what i said, why would i be talking about lifting the rule for non lore channels

[wind bough]

Because of the channel we’re in?

[late aurora]

I mean we are about to get an influx of new people

So don’t spoil em

[indigo shale]

right and this is an extenstion of a lore channel, even in the channel description it talks about msq

[late aurora]

It’s not

[wind bough]

No it’s not

[indigo shale]

this channel for every other patch has been the lore channel for it

[wet crown]

No, the extension of the lore channel is a spoiler thread directly linked to it.

[wind bough]

We’re doing a new model now with the introduction of threads

This is essentially a second #general-discussion

Spoiler tags are enforced here

And I’m not a blue but as far as I understand that will never be lifted

Instead this channel will just go away in the future

[wet crown]

I'm just wondering why it's still up.

[indigo shale]

i werent aware that this channel was changed that much, as during 5.35/5.4 and such it was just a free for all with lore

[wind bough]

Different purpose now

Hence why it’s in a different place in the list

[indigo shale]

its in the same place it usually appears when a patch comes out

[wind bough]

In the past it’s been by #archived-lore-spoilers

Though this may have changed a few times depending on needs

[crystal arrow]

Threads are just easier to archive and stuff. And reduce channel bloat.

[late aurora]

Also once they stop being used for long enough, they archive themselves

[frigid igloo]

entire MSQ spoilers ||asahi is a CHAD||

||whoa they really gonna let me queue for a full party and wipe to my heart's content without feeling bad ||

[glossy hemlock]

Doubt

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah there are some funny interactions apparently as well

[river hound]

I dun understand this. What trial/stage are you talking about?

[glossy hemlock]

|| Level 89 Trial ||

[glossy hemlock]

|| It allows you to use the Trust system for that Trial. ||

[river hound]

Oh yeah. I just wish the trust system is better . Fking standing there clearing mechs without casting is infuriating

[safe grotto]

you could always just.....
(o.o )
.... ( o.o)
|| (o.o) play with real players...||

[glossy hemlock]

That’s why I don’t use trusts lmao.. But.. || Use the trust to figure out the mechanics and then hope into a queue for it to clear with real players ||

[river hound]

I use trust to clear specific dungs that are hard to queue for. Aka ShB dungs for wondrous tails

[stable ice]

Patch note out yet ?

[late aurora]

You can look in #lodestone-news-na

[stable ice]

Thanks

[heady sorrel]

last i checked they were not, think they usually get put up when servers goes down

[balmy chasm]

Can't wait for the new servers

[proven rain]

i understand why dancer is getting a buff

I could not proc my combos cuz of RNG

[thorny flax]

lvl 86-87 spoiler. holy shit this fate is aggressive

the mobs do a lot of damage and the respawn timer is way too fast Oo

[glossy hemlock]

Sounds like you need to git gud

[wind bough]

sounds like it's just scaled for more players

fates scale depending on how many people were there to kill the last few fates in the zone

then if there's only one person doing it then fate spawns will eventually scale back down to ez mode

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah that’s the real answer lmao

[wind bough]

But if a larger group of players just left the zone then the FATEs will still be tuned higher for a bit

[thorny flax]

yeah that's probably the reason. people left the zone

there was a hunt train

that helped with the previous fate I did

[glossy hemlock]

Your guys’ hunt trains stop to do FATEs?

[thorny flax]

If one of the hunts is close to a fate yes

there's one in thavnair where the spawn location almost overlaps with a fate

[glossy hemlock]

Wild lol

[thorny flax]

it's 1 fate closer to the 60x fate achievement 😄

so I think that's why people do them if it's close to a hunt

[glossy hemlock]

On the Elemental DC hunt trains just go until the loop is complete no stopping for FATEs

The only time it stalls is to get people in the instance

[thorny flax]

on EU we mostly call the hunts even for people that aren't part of the train. So technically people that just want to go for this one kill might stop as well to help with a fate

but recently it got worse. People are pulling without waiting for other people

[glossy hemlock]

Wild

[thorny flax]

I'm so scared of tomorrow. On Phoenix the queue is finally on pre endwalker level again. I hope we won't get 1-2k queues again

[frigid igloo]

hello friends i finished msq

where do i get better gear now

also i have problems and feel like leveling a couple of other classes but i know i shouldn't

[glossy hemlock]

|| Radz-at-Han || @frigid igloo

[frigid igloo]

if it's the guy selling ||580|| gear i don't currently have the required gear to queue

is ||560 supposed to be easy to get?||

[late aurora]

570 is aphorism gear

560 is from 90 dungeons

580 is from EXs, normal raids and crafted

[frigid igloo]

ohh i see

[elder marsh]

you can get 590 gear from astronomy tomestones, and 600 gear from savage content as well

600 is the highest btw

[humble heron]

isn't 605 possible?

[balmy chasm]

Yeah, start gearing up by running the 3 final dungeons, then star buying pieces with tomestones, then when you can run asphodelos start doing that too

Or you can just buy gear from the marketplace

[late aurora]

Nah

[frigid igloo]

i don't have a lot of gil so i will just spam expert >_<

[balmy chasm]

Yeah do the roulette every day you get a good bonus

[humble heron]

the savage weapons are 605 smh pratai

[balmy chasm]

Plus you'll get 560 drops

[frigid igloo]

though it's a pity i gotta spam expert cuz i wanted the materia from the other roulettes

[balmy chasm]

Until you can start buying 570 and 590 pieces

[late aurora]

But you can’t get an average of 605

[late aurora]

You can do other roulettes, you still get tomes

[frigid igloo]

all 6 of them?

[humble heron]

yes, i was just saying in terms of individual

[balmy chasm]

I dunno I usually just did expert and levelling tbh

[humble heron]

you can't get an average of 600 either, right? @late aurora

[frigid igloo]

oh on second thought i don't need them cuz battledance ones are super cheap

[late aurora]

Oh yeah ring

I keep forgetting about unique rings

[humble heron]

ill never forget

[balmy chasm]

What's the quickest way to level to 30

I'm gonna say fishing

Ocean fish

[late aurora]

GC turn in

[humble heron]

you're both wrong. the fastest way to level to 30 is to buy a boost.

[balmy chasm]

I should say new character to 30

[humble heron]

[balmy chasm]

I want my million gil and 15 days free game time

[frigid igloo]

are these the rewards i can only get once a day?

[late aurora]

You can’t buy a Fisher boost silly

[late aurora]

The top ones

[humble heron]

pratai you said can instead of cant smh smh ur off ur game today

[late aurora]

Again tomes aren’t a spoiler

[humble heron]

they were protecting us from the adventurer in need bonus

[zealous abyss]

Any idea when the patch notes will drop?

[crystal arrow]

every time someone asks it gets delayed by 5 minutes

but in all honesty. no. sometime during maint.

[balmy chasm]

Anyone else doing a server transfer?

[astral lodge]

Does anyone know what tends to get released during a x.08 patch or is it mostly just balance patches?

[late aurora]

They told us it’s just balance changes

[crystal arrow]

it's entirely balance.

[vague fulcrum]

I think the next big content update is 6.1 in april?

[chilly bluff]

Considering the first preview for 6.1 is in March, yes, April is a safe assumption.

[fallen pilot]

Can we just make a new character on oce and level them to 30 and get 15 days free for our account? and just go back to my main on aether?

[glossy hemlock]

Why would you do that

You’d have to pay to transfer back lol

[chilly bluff]

You can, yes. Remember that the 15 day bonus is one time only per account. Ever. So if they add more new servers some time later, you won't be able to do that again.

[dim sigil]

i remember getting my free days doing a alt once was unexpected but cool

[vague fulcrum]

Didnt we also get 21 days of free play time due to the congestion of endwalker release?

[chilly bluff]

For those who had active subscriptions at the time, yes.

[balmy chasm]

Im transferring my main over as I live in NZ, be nice to finally play at a proper time zone and ping

But I'll also level a fisher to 30 quick for the bonuses

[late aurora]

I’m pretty sure it means an combat job

But what do I know

[chilly bluff]

That is pretty sick that even transfers are getting the exp bonus this time

Normally they don't

That buff is absurdly powerful

[balmy chasm]

Bonuses for characters created during bonus period that attain level 30 in any class

[weary monolith]

are transfers even available right away

[balmy chasm]

No

Next day

26th? Here in NZ anyway might be 25th in north America because of time zones

[chilly bluff]

20 hours later, give or take.

[rustic heath]

Road to 80 applies to every job

Friend leveled gatherers like that

[late aurora]

I meant the lvl 30, 15 days thing

[rustic heath]

Oh

That I don't remember

[chilly bluff]

Yeah that's only for combat jobs

[balmy chasm]

Oh is it?

The notes say any class

Bonuses for characters created during bonus period that attain level 30 in any class

Gift of 1,000,000 gil (*1)
Gift of 15 days of free play time (*2)

[chilly bluff]

Must have changed then. Makes sense if even transfers in are getting the exp bonus.

[rustic heath]

fisher is the easiest class to level so why go thru all that

[balmy chasm]

Yeah ocean fishing let's go

[rustic heath]

I leveled fisher from 1-80 thru leves and it took me 200k gil lol

[chilly bluff]

OCE bros getting treated pretty nicely lol

[potent raft]

ONLY 200k?

i thought you just do ocean fishing and get to 90 in no time

[glossy hemlock]

Ocean fishing is fast and easy af

[lone fiber]

ocean fishing stresses me out i dont know what im doing there

[wind bough]

You can just cast and catch normally if you don’t know anything else

And you’ll still do gangbusters exp

[frank raptor]

The paladin buff holy shit

[somber storm]

PLD mains rejoice

[sinful holly]

6.08

[earnest oyster]

Buff DNC...

https://tenor.com/view/dont-need-you-angry-throw-trash-garbage-gif-15769455

[sinful holly]

oops I meant to search that

agreed buff DNC

[onyx sundial]

The dnc buffs are pretty good tbh

[chilly bluff]

They got buffed, yeah. The technical step change is significant and the other ones may appear small but they’re on the buttons you’ll be hitting the most.

[onyx sundial]

Its 40 potency per gcd

Considering you hit 24~ gcds per min

Thats over 900 potency increase

[chilly bluff]

[onyx sundial]

Its actually bigger than you think

[late aurora]

One day I’ll learn how to dnc better

Not today tho

[onyx sundial]

People see only 40 potency, and dont even consider that its the standard gcds which you press every 2.5 seconds

[wind bough]

the dnc buff is colossal

[brisk quail]

WHAT?! BUFF OUT

PATCH NOTES OUT

LEMME SEEEE

[earnest oyster]

Tbh is a good buff

[pallid elk]

Hrmm assume mnk would've gotten abit more than 1 buff

[onyx sundial]

Mnk is fine

[brisk quail]

HOLY FUCK

YESSSS

[onyx sundial]

It actually really didnt need any

[brisk quail]

Omg

The BUFFFFF

[onyx sundial]

[eager field]

Mnk is fine DONT TOUCH IT ANYMORE SE DONT RUIN IT TO THE GROUND AGAIN

[brisk quail]

PLD BUFF GOOD

[pallid elk]

The only buff mnk needs is upgraded action effects

[turbid aspen]

^

[safe grotto]

my PLD is gonna be rainin blades and slamming ass after this patch

[potent raft]

is a good buff

[safe grotto]

like god fucking damn..

look how thicc those number increases are

ESPECIALLY aoe

[chilly bluff]

I’m still over the moon with that Dragon Sight buff. That range increase is nuts and they even killed the animation so sprouts won’t panic and die anymore if I tether them.

[brisk quail]

Agree

PLD deserves it

Mfw magic combo felt worse than melee combo because I couldn't FoF it

[strange wing]

Why did the Confeti combo hit like a wet noodle anyway

[brisk quail]

Cuz they wanted it to be a mild upgrade to normal starting melee combo

But it felt like ass cuz it was like a couple ten potency more

[safe grotto]

i just wanna do that magic aoe combo in a dungeon

[cunning arch]

Will paladin be worth playing? Friends trying to dissuade me lol

[brisk quail]

PLD is great.

I enjoy PLD but early levels suck for PLD

[strange wing]

Story aint to great for like 30 levels

30-60 is kinda painful

[pulsar current]

it was always worth playing, but if they were bad then they wanted you on a higher DPS tank

still waiting on numbers but by now it should be more than fine

[steady valve]

pld is jank pre70

[fast ivy]

esspecially since they are one of the few tanks with no gapcloser until shb levels

[steady valve]

very few mits, sheltron is weak before lv74 and you can't use requi for trash pulls pre 72, no gap closer till 74

[opaque hemlock]

I will miss my Dragon Sight tether but the range increase is welcomed for sure. now I can give it to a magic or ranged dps if they seem to be putting out the most damage

[fast ivy]

thats some real "Dragon [Fore] Sight" on your part

:3

[brisk quail]

Not to mention magic sucks pre SB

Heck even pre SHB magic sucks on PLD

PLD absolutely needed the buff

[steady valve]

they need to move some traits and skills to lower lvls for PLD, and just make dark mind all dmg types while they're at it

lower lvl pld leveling is extremely painful since your 'mit skills' are taken by cover, clemency, divine veil, and intervention, none of which works for you during trash pulls except clemency unless you want to piss off your healer

[lost canopy]

pallys eatin good tonight!

[gaunt star]

Pally and dancer

[potent raft]

DNC not so much lol

[tepid island]

lol why is this channel nsfw

[late aurora]

Spoilers

[tepid island]

o

[obtuse trout]

There is no spoiler tag for channels so they need to apply NSFW tags

[proven rain]

They buffed the basic combos for Dancer but not the fans

[late aurora]

Because they didn’t need to be?

[proven rain]

Oh

[gaunt star]

is mch really that bad? the forum talk make it look like mch is at the bottom now even below dancer after this patch... that cant be right

[late aurora]

How can they know

The patch just dropped

Also it’s the forums, their opinions don’t matter

[gaunt star]

i dont know tbf, probably some people calculate stuff and simulation or something maybe?

like this

i dont even know how people get this

[late aurora]

That’s the balance discord I’m pretty sure

They actually know what they’re doing

[gaunt star]

oh

[wind bough]

Yeah MCH should still be bottom after these buffs

seems correct and if balance math numbers back it up then yeah

[pastel venture]

I see pld lounge arguing still if they overtake WAR or not

But things should be closer now i think?

[rustic jackal]

either way things should be closer, yeah, even if they don't manage to overtake

[hazy apex]

Damn bro I was already having a good time with Sam and now ogi hits even harder

Sign me the hell up

[granite nimbus]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/0b4d33f59d99327644d97d7d4c863eec9fe3802c

Oh hey, Omega outfits.

[viscid monolith]

It's not just that DNC overtook MCH in rdps. Dancer has overtaken MCH in personal dps.

[wind bough]

[rain onyx]

[viscid monolith]

Should've buffed MCH's skills by 100 potency each

[pastel venture]

Oh my god

thats amazing

[frigid igloo]

hey guys any fun alliance/normal raid you suggest unlocking? I feel guilty dragging people to the crystal tower all the time

[rain onyx]

all of them tbh

gives you better chance of not experiencing crystal tower

...which is still what you usually get

[pastel venture]

A lot of people like Ivalice for alliance raid

[viscid monolith]

Oh people are absolutely bullshitting about ilvl cheesing being overstated

[pastel venture]

Just be sure to remmember what prime numbers are

[wind bough]

Every time I get Ivalice in alliance roulette I get a feeling so poggers

[somber storm]

also dread

[ebon edge]

Do you have the data on what it was before the changes?

[blazing edge]

So why is DNC and BRD theoretically higher numbers than MCH

[ebon edge]

A friend and I are have a debate if SAM needed a buff.

I said yes, he said they are strong enough.

[blazing edge]

Considering the only thing they're bringing to the table is selfish dps..

I think it should have buffs

[onyx sundial]

It did get buffs but it wasnt buffed a lot

[pastel venture]

Because the dev team has this idea that phys ranged is the party buffer and forget MCH has no party buffs

[granite nimbus]

I think people were hoping for a 100 potency buff on Drill and Air Anchor?

[pastel venture]

When it comes to MCH it honestly feels like a bit of an issue atm in terms of balancing

[onyx sundial]

It got 20 potency buff for air anchor, drill and chainsaw

[gaunt star]

nope, sorry

[blazing edge]

I'm satisfied with where SMN is rn

[onyx sundial]

You can check fflogs for that data and filter by date

[ebon edge]

Agreed. But we are in a debate about a few changes. He wanted more buffs for Sum and I wanted a few more for Blm.

[ebon edge]

True.

[wind bough]

Yeah MCH is the new meme

[gaunt star]

is fflog already up to latest patch?

[onyx sundial]

Thats not true

[blazing edge]

BLM already kinda stronk

[onyx sundial]

Mch adps was at least 1.3k more than dnc

No way the buffs will make it out dps in adps

It should still be prepatch since act hasnt been updated yet

[ebon edge]

Thank you

[blazing edge]

Summoner 3rd last lol

Better than being 2nd last I guess

[viscid monolith]

OCE is now officially known as cosplay RP

[dim sigil]

Ah yes The graha tia breeding grounds

[keen osprey]

Interestingly... ||Meteion should've been much bigger than us when we returned to the present||

||Like... she's the same height scaled to Eorzeans/Etherians(?) as when she was scaled to the ancients/ascians despite the latter supposedly being much bigger than the former||

[brisk quail]

Again I say...

||a 20ft birb girl visting the namazu or their long lost relatives would be a mess||

So ||she can change her size at will with dynamis, stop thinking too hard. You'll hurt yourself||

[keen osprey]

Speaking of visitng other races
||In the Final lv 80 dungeon, did Meteion technically cause the destruction on that Freedom Fighters world? From the data logs, it seems that the group of people she first met thought themselves as special since an alien graced them with their presence first, which inadvertently lead to the war||

[dim sigil]

|| have you ever read a young adult novel, it seems there was that kinda stuff going on alreadly then she showed up to one side and they thought they were like choosen ones and fought even harder ||

[late aurora]

Oh no

||Metetion: I love both of you but I can’t choose. You’re the rich supplier who’s the reason we’ve gotten so far. But he, he’s ripped. It’s such a difficult decision||

I’ve seen people simp over ||erenville||, but have there been people simping over ||loifa, the viera guy from the sage quest?||

[slate ridge]

Once DWU is released, will people use the abbreviation based on the official ultimate name, or use the same “DWU” acronym like UWU

Cause TEA and UCOB are based on the official name, but people prefer UWU over TWRU

[humble heron]

We will see

[granite nimbus]

Eh... I kinda wanted to slap ||Loifa|| for being as uhhelpful as possible over the course of the quests.

||Why are you defending that evil man?||

[gusty quiver]

No joke they should add dungeon EXs

[vernal venture]

Also, if a Nunh is genetically predisposed to siring male children he'll keep doing so over and over again I reckon. If he is constantly producing more Y sperm than X sperm he'll have a lot of sons (Henry VIII was on the opposite end, having mostly daughters). But the Doylist reason? People like playing cat boys :p

[slate ridge]

I feel like parts of endwalker’s story is yoship’s commentary on Covid 19

||the blasphemies, final days, the first area of the final dungeon||

What if it’s ishikawa’s way of showing her opinion and thoughts on Covid

[proper zealot]

Definitely how Zenos met us

[strange wing]

I dunno. I think it was "bad vibes" in general.

And a commentary on twitter

[slate ridge]

I think it could be seen as how Twitter is toxic

I think this isn’t the first time ||despair and nihilism is the final boss|| in the ff universe

[tardy hare]

the enemy being despair and the protagonist(s) representing hope seems to be a common jrpg trope. I can name like 3 series off the top of my head including FF that's used it more than once

[blazing edge]

its a classic jrpg thematic dichotomy

[gaunt star]

quite a bit from ff14 is ripped straight from/heavily based on a multitude of things from various games in the franchise

i think you are correct with that statement

[slate ridge]

i actually found out from the wiki that there were ||villains other than meteion that represent nihilism and despair, like necron from ff9, CoD and xande from ff3, kefka from 6||

[gaunt star]

ff3 does a really bad job at displaying the CoD as being an icon of despair

it’s literally just “this is the leader of the darkness”

[blazing edge]

im so happy i got my first ever savage clear

[gaunt star]

nice

[main umbra]

Attaching a theme to a boss and calling it a copy is slightly unfair considering a lot of theme have been explored already.

[vague fulcrum]

I messed up at intemperance and got my team a damage down and then we wiped at 0.1% enragez😂😂😂

For p1s

[frigid igloo]

i had the same thoughts on the before the final area of the game ||you ride a dog on the moon 😠 ||

[tidal mauve]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21jakeJ2_BY|| endwalker all

[weary rampart]

didnt YoshiP said that the story was thought out like long ago . Back in 2.0

[slate ridge]

so i guess it's more like when anyone sees pestilence and plagues now, they say "hahaha it's covid 19 uh oh"

[glossy hemlock]

Everything for the rest of our generations will be “lol Covid reference”

[slate ridge]

were people wanting soken to make a different piece for the final boss?

[slate ridge]

i was in the last area and with the ||omicrons, my thoughts were "i bet with the names of delta, lambda and omicron it's going to scare the crap out of someone on social media because of covid variants"||

[glossy hemlock]

Yeah I thought the same thing lmao like someone is gonna think way too hard about this

[slate ridge]

never again will we see greek letters the same

[late aurora]

“The greeks predicted it, but how?” - internet man

[slate ridge]

i think even all the way back to ||when we return to thavnair and the final days happen i thought "uh oh, will someone say ichikawa is doing this as a reference to covid, with the quarantine and stuff?"||

[glossy hemlock]

I feel like people don’t understand || that they’ve had this all planned for years lmao ||

[slate ridge]

was yoshi p planning for endwalker to continue or was he planning to have it end there for the first saga?

but yeah if thats the case, its most likely pure coincidence

[weary rampart]

6.0 story is about ||hopeless|| ,meanwhile covid is about "covid is fake ,lets go around spreading it "

[keen osprey]

The funny thing? I recall there was an article about how WoW had a bug that caused a "plague" in the game, and how people were trying to quarantine themselves to prevent the bug from spreading, and there were also people trying to spread the bug for lolz
When people said that this had academic value in studying how the human race can react in the event of an epidemic, gamers were laughing it off saying that it's unrealistic because people would never spread it for fun... ... ... right?

[dim sigil]

Every Plague movie is unrealistic

[slate ridge]

The Wikipedia article even connected that incident to Covid because scientists I think are using that as a way to understand how Covid spreads

But anyways

[keen osprey]

I would say the most scarily realistic movie to portray how the human race would react to any given threat, is "Don't look up"

Despite it being a satirical movie, i couldn't laugh at it, and actually became angry because of how i can't deny it...

It's not a plague movie, but it's probably the most realistic one...

[pastel venture]

If they dont portray ppl mass buying toilet paper its not realistic

[simple yew]

I was gonna say most of the stuff was pretty jrpg normal

But just told with bettercoherency

[static owl]

that's the thing with stories in general

most stories have already been told

a new/unheard story isn't necessarily good either. It's all down to how its told

tell a known story, subvert some expectations or build a better world. Just avoid being overly-tropish and not committing the proper time to your payoffs/plot.

[prime niche]

Well, that and many people probably haven't heard the stories...for example, people who weren't previously exposed to tons of jrpg content. I know FF appeals to that crowd, but part of its charm is also being accessible to a more general audience, imo.

[main umbra]

@slate ridge people were discussing themes of like nihilism and how if one person does a theme first now every future person just copied it.

Which is dumb

[ivory nest]

yea his second one was good

arr voice actors

xd

[chilly bluff]

Cid has been voiced by Gwilym Lee since HW. Not sure what happened between then and now to make his voice change so drastically but he hasn't been recast.

[past light]

wait, really???

[late aurora]

[chilly bluff]

Yeah he's in the credits as such lol

[late aurora]

It’s been like 9 years

[past light]

with how different it is, i'd have sworn it was a different guy

[somber storm]

Cid has been huffing too much cereleum

[keen osprey]

I have to say, of all the EW Role quests, only the Healer's one had an interesting storyline

the rest were pretty... meh... alhough ranged DPS quest seemed pretty good at around the halfway point

[pallid girder]

I enjoyed Healer and Ranged Phys DPS the most too, yes
(I stilll think Doma needing Phys Ranged is an odd choice tho)

melee dps and tank so far is eh, although a few interesting lore tidbits

every role quest can be summarized as wrapping up loose ends from past expacs

[somber storm]

Looks at a few more loose ends that needs to be wrapped

[quasi berry]

The healer one was good

[half phoenix]

Healer and tanks

Caster was so forced...

I’ll be doing melee or ranged in a week or so

[glossy hemlock]

The man now sounds like he smokes five packs a day

I loved his ARR voice it was so fitting with how cute he is

unless you're playing a tank, you actually only have 3? revives

since you're basically guaranteed to lose one on phase shifts

as you don't gain control until right at the end of the first mechanic of the next phase

[pulsar current]

You lose one, but you still have 5 uses

I agree that titan normal is prolly harder

But it just more punishing

We have to think about the common denominator, dumb people

the phys ranged one was pretty good

outside of that, just a lot of deep lore stuffs on chars that we didnt cover in EW

EW gave us more lore on kan'e senna than the rest of the expacs lmao

[proud jewel]

Question during the lv 83? i think MSQ cutscene || The one where you met all the people who will go to garlemald, Was there supposed to be a scene where alberic acknowledged you like the same with the rest of the job quest npcs ( Like the WHM guy ) ? Cause I thought something was missing when that happen and I probably thought maybe if I didn't buy a jump potion for DRG he would have acknowledged me ||

Or was there supposed to be none and I am overthinking this

[pulsar current]

||i know estinein mentions that they'ed rather show their prowess on the field first rather than "chit chat", or something along those lines||

[proud jewel]

|| Yeah i got that too, was just wondering if there was any more ||

[visual spade]

The bunnies marked the point where EW gets good and stays good 😄

[granite nimbus]

So many people dislike the Loporrits for being plucky comic relief.

Not sure why though.

Can't have Endwalker be all doom and gloom or we stop caring.

[wind bough]

I’ve yet to ever actually speak to one of these people who supposedly hate loporrits

[dim sigil]

I think it's more people hate the pacing of the story at that section

[pulsar current]

||"alright you killed god whats next" bnuuy||

[haughty crater]

protip: turn on the bgm for dead ends

[late aurora]

Imagine not having music on during the final stretch

[pallid girder]

at least the bunnies are adorable af

also after the high point of ||killing Zodiark|| you need some time to wind down a bit

[dim sigil]

After every big section of stress and crazy they did give us time to wind down during ew I guess there's people who don't like that I don't know

[pulsar current]

i preferred the overall tempo of 5.0 compared to 6.0

but also 6.0 was longer and i kinda bulldozed through it since i wanted to avoid spoilers

[glossy hemlock]

Same haha

But I also felt like it just went by super quick anyways

[rustic jackal]

5.0's tempo was super well set out but I'm putting that up to the really neat structure they set up for themselves with each region has a lightwarden/we're picking up scions as we go along/we're making our way to Big Bad

[dim sigil]

5.0 was very much a diff story like well duh but like idk how to put it in words exactly, it was a very jrpg plot? like it dealt with taking down the big bads Light Wardens and unveiling the secerts of our long time villains and defeating them once and for all, ew goes for somthing different

[rustic jackal]

imo 5.0 was a departure from the basic ARR storyline they started with so they prolly had more creative freedom

endwalker's impressive because it ties off what we don't know and ends the storyline that they had to start with in a fashion I think

[pulsar current]

the only part tht felt padded was 2nd trip to ame arang

[rustic jackal]

trolleys

[pulsar current]

and even then the stuff post trolley is great

[rustic jackal]

yes

tbh I didn't mind it that much but it did feel slower than the rest but the minfilia development and leadup to not-minfilia made it good

[pulsar current]

idk, at some point i mean to re-do the storyline

[pulsar current]

the goddamn "kill 7 worms" quest was just ugh

[dim sigil]

EW isnt about and ill tag it here i guess || it wasnt a story about taking down the big bad and revealing over an enemy like shb and much a story about its own themes even the final boss isnt really a huge villain who needs to be stopped exactly but more so the very theme concept and embodiment of despair itself ||

[rustic jackal]

gonna be honest I forgot that quest

[rustic jackal]

I'd say that's about as JRPG as you can possibly get

SHB wasn't really about that either seeing as we had a shit ton of sympathy

[dim sigil]

yeah thats why like im not sure how to put it in words

[rustic jackal]

none of the villains were very basic one faced

[strange wing]

[dim sigil]

yeah

[rustic jackal]

he was done wrong

I stand by that

I expected more from him

I hope pandaemonium does him more justice

[strange wing]

I hope so, but I don't see how unless one of the wings is in modern day.

I wanna rematch

[dim sigil]

shb has very human antagonists and ew is more so a thematic force? sure

[rustic jackal]

Friends have had theories that ||eric is our laha and his father will be a panda boss|| panda

[half phoenix]

Just over 2 weeks to the next live letter

[rustic jackal]

I think EW is very human in the sense of cheesy theme of ||despair and the humanity of people struggling over it.. or something. and meteion. something something meteion's humanity||

[half phoenix]

Hopefully one of the questions is going to be about Island Sanctuaries

[strange wing]

I hope Crystal Conflicts is fun.

[rustic jackal]

please

my cabbages

I want to grow corn

[half phoenix]

No news on that this liveletter, that's March's or the one after

This one is mostly a roadmap

[strange wing]

Well it's still coming in 6.1 right?

Honestly I'm excited for that too.

[half phoenix]

Yes, which is in April at the earliest right now

[rustic jackal]

nearly everything is dropping in 6.1 there's gonna be so much shit

[strange wing]

6.1, the actual expansion launch

I hope they announce like, the general direction of the story. Meracydia, New World, Corvus and all that.

[half phoenix]

Crystal Conflict, Empyreum housing opens, Myths of the Realm....

[strange wing]

Any announcing new Trust memebers.

[dim sigil]

i hope farm stuff is cool and has a lot to grind and just do

[strange wing]

And an Ultimate too.

[half phoenix]

Corvus is going to be Diadem/Bozja/Eureka

[rustic jackal]

will we still get a .3 trial?

[half phoenix]

Eh, that's cleared in a day and the vast majority of the playerbase stops caring, just like Savage

[rustic jackal]

?

[strange wing]

Will be fun to watch.

[half phoenix]

Meh

[strange wing]

Toxic casual

[rustic jackal]

if it's not for you that's okay lmao

no need to seemingly belittle it

[half phoenix]

Literally the only part of it that interests me is the final phase change

[rustic jackal]

sure thing man, np

[half phoenix]

Have zero interest in watchin the streams and people just repeating the same call outs over and over and over

[rustic jackal]

you don't have to watch it at all

or play it for that matter

sure is cool so much is dropping tho

[half phoenix]

Was I talking to you?

[dim sigil]

i think we'll get a .3 trial but it wont be msq

[rustic jackal]

plenty to be excited about

man this is a public chat what's your problem

[half phoenix]

I was responding to Lesti's comment

[strange wing]

Eh, it's more of a tone issue honestly.

Hmm. Nah not going into it.

[half phoenix]

Also you know people are just going to be selling clears and pilotings of it again within a month or two

[strange wing]

Anyway, I sure hope Myths of the Realm will be fun.

[dim sigil]

finally gonna cover what the 12 are

[strange wing]

It's a coinflip when it comes to alliance raids.

[half phoenix]

Going to be looking forward to the seeing the reactions to all the people who think the Twelve are actual gods find out they aren't XD

[strange wing]

Either it's fine or it's pain

[dim sigil]

its pretty clear now God(s) dont exist in 14 at least not man made ones

[rustic jackal]

nymeia please step on me

[strange wing]

Yea that too.

[rustic jackal]

[strange wing]

I wonder if

[rustic jackal]

nophica..

[half phoenix]

Well at least the story will be infinitely better than Nier's

[strange wing]

There are three options

1. Azem's static he saved from Hydaelyn's kick

[dim sigil]

even 0000.1% of effort is better then what neir did

[strange wing]

2. Primals

3. Aliens

[rustic jackal]

I hope it isn't primals

[half phoenix]

.... We're Azem...

[rustic jackal]

old azem

[dim sigil]

turns out a shell of azem still exsits without the soul

[rustic jackal]

I think it'd be cool to have it be tied to the ancients, one being named Azemya makes me want to see something come of it

[dim sigil]

i can see that

[strange wing]

Azem's Nobody.

Yea sure I can dig that.

[half phoenix]

Also doubt it, since Azem's appearance is supposedly based on us

That'd take a lot of unique rigging to fit every character creation combination

[rustic jackal]

they can do whatever the fuck they want with the boss, they could make it look like a sun

an Orb™

[dim sigil]

omza 3

[rustic jackal]

halone...

I hope halone is a lady tho

she's got so many statues

wife

[dim sigil]

thalls balls better be as good as its hyped up

[rustic jackal]

fr

been talking bout those since arr

[half phoenix]

In before Halone was a guy originally who was just really good with spears

[rustic jackal]

I'd be fine with that too

husband

[dim sigil]

halone is that drg who talks about butts

[rustic jackal]

ser spikeybutt?

fuck yea

[strange wing]

It would be cool if the bosses weren't any of the 12, but like based on the original FF creation myth or some other kind of myth

[half phoenix]

Well they won't be the 12, just related to who/what created the myths

[strange wing]

Instead of fighting Zeus, we are helping Hercules fight the Nymian Lion or something.

[half phoenix]

Since the 12 don't exist

[dim sigil]

remember when we thought 14 had gods fun days

[half phoenix]

Not really

If we had gods they should have been stepping in a LOT more often to help with all these problems, instead of... well never

[rustic jackal]

I find it weird how we have a patron deity

given how much god beating wol does they don't seem religious to any degree

[pulsar current]

we really only beat up gods that fuck with other people

also, alliance raid may allow us to beat them up 🙂

[rustic jackal]

that's still gods in general, the general concept of them as deities of help and assistance

it's weird we worshipped one in the first place

even if it was stemming off original XIV

[pulsar current]

we'll prolly know more about that in the future

[rustic jackal]

well yeah LMAO

[pulsar current]

cant wait to beat up thals balls

god kojis gonna have a field day with that one

[dim sigil]

it should be like that one boss from conkers bad fur day

[rustic jackal]

nymeia fucks me over in rng now it's time for her to fuck me over literally

[blazing edge]

I still want the gimmicky personal responsibility mechanic where you're put in a spot and have to resolve a mechanic based on what your patron deity is

[rustic jackal]

tbh I think that'd be fun too

something, anything to do with your deity

[gaunt star]

The 12 are actually aliens who genetically designed us and became objects of deification as a result.

[still lance]

i'm not sure we'll be fighting gods, i mean to think about Menphina the goddess of love, how are they going to make her appear ? like a succubus throwing hearts to you so you'd be charmed everytime aka Lakshmi 2.0 ?

[pulsar current]

sounds good to me

[glossy hemlock]

If she’s as hot as Lakshmi I don’t have any complaints.

[static owl]

Once the Warrior of Light brought Hope, now they killed love

[glossy hemlock]

Maybe if we bargain with them they’ll help Gaius realize he loves my WOL

[main umbra]

I want menphina to just be minfilia, but actually interesting. Biggest twist of century

[keen patio]

Does the main hall in the Baldesion Annex actually populate with more posters if you've done more side stories?

[frigid igloo]

hey guys how long did it take you to clear your first ||asphodelos savage run|| on duty finder? I'm 5 ilvl over the minimum but no balls to queue as tank and i cant believe youtube guides turn from 3 minutes normal to 15 for savage

[late aurora]

Don’t use duty finder for Savages

[gaunt star]

what if the twelve||are just creations the ancients made after hearing about the wol and thinking it was a familiar with a soul||

[late aurora]

||Minds got wiped||, remember

[gaunt star]

||everyone else remembered you only the ones inside that dungeon forgot ||

[frigid igloo]

oh, what should I do instead?

[humble heron]

Party finder

[frigid igloo]

thx i will give it a try and report back in 6 hours

[stiff charm]

?

[rustic jackal]

I'm going to get fucked by nymeia em you heard me

[stiff charm]

what about nophica and her gentle bosom

[rustic jackal]

nophica's not my deity I'm loyal

[stiff charm]

i got llymlaen

[rustic jackal]

llymlaen deez nuts

[stiff charm]

ok

[rustic jackal]

anyway

[stiff charm]

[rustic jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/sailormoon-sailor-moon-anime-manga-gif-5833442

[wind bough]

Don’t do that at all. Use the party finder and find a learning or “fresh prog” party

[frigid igloo]

idk why i thought i could easily snatch the weekly rewards right before the reset ahahahaha

[brisk quail]

Never ever ever ever ever queue

Unless you're in JP

And even then

DON'T

[crystal arrow]

On crystal if you queued now it wouldn't pop at all in the next 20 hours

[glossy hemlock]

It’s possible to queue for it in JP, done that sometimes to fill in when players can’t make it

It’s not bad

[slate ridge]

What did the hades ex drop upon defeat? If so, ||can it be the same for endsinger ex?||

[pastel venture]

Weapons

And yes it will very likely be the same

[dim sigil]

Honestly I expect the weapons to be kind of lame

[pastel venture]

They wont glow

[granite nimbus]

Titania Weps were great though.

And Susano.

[dim sigil]

Yeah just people who would rather have innocent weapons and I'm like no? Why that would be so generic and boring

[pastel venture]

No shiny. But can look cool regardless

Innocence weapons would just be sos weapons

[dim sigil]

Sos weapons sucked to

[dire pond]

fucking got this at lunar new year

[copper tulip]

Just a couple of amazing action shots

[visual spade]

I literally cannot imagine how that scene looks for a Lalafell lmao

[copper tulip]

XD

[glossy hemlock]

Some people have screenshottes it with their lalafell characters

[potent marsh]

i like to imagine that ||lalafells do the mario uppercut on zenos||

[glossy hemlock]

They basically do lol

[solid knot]

hmm... shouldnt we have been able to see that Heaven on High tower ||from space...||

[frigid igloo]

You must be right cuz when i checked after i sent that message i didnt see any party with more than 1/2 players

idk if party finder is just for my server or includes the entire Crystal though

[pulsar current]

tbf you cant see the great wall of china from space either

[bright lion]

It's very small actually

And very thin

[frigid igloo]

the widest part of the wall is 16.7m /54.8ft 🤔

[frigid igloo]

what about the EX versions of the last 2 ministrel ballads from last patch?

[rain onyx]

same thing

[frigid igloo]

i will cope with normal gear thanks

[blazing edge]

just use PF

[frigid igloo]

i sucked 💩 playing heroics on another mmo so im not very confident

[blazing edge]

you can join prog groups precisely for learning

half of the time they dont even expect to clear lmao

especially on PF

[gaunt star]

i did 3 practice groups b4 clearing EX2

[blazing edge]

took me 4 practice groups to clear EX1

[frigid igloo]

Oh so it's for fun

I will consider it thx

atm my brain is being fried trying to level 5 crafting jobs at a time

[haughty crater]

Ok but now whats the deal with the mythos books? Am I supposed to buy upgrade materials or the 600 drops?

[prime niche]

Whatever you need for your class - it's basically a "bad luck token" so you actually get something provided you clear the content consistently

[iron scaffold]

that shouldn't be hard

as long you have the Gil and food buff

[frigid igloo]

it's not, but i'm trying to hoard on gil, leves (full refills every 16 days :| )

i have mining too but i'm on a questionable server and the part i hate the most is jumping servers to save 20% on gil

[keen patio]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[glossy hemlock]

Loved that scene lmao

[earnest sedge]

In JP people do re-clears in DF

DF uses mainly JP strats so sometimes diff from PF

[lime zealot]

Hello, some ew story questions ||so basically the amaurotians where too perfect aether capacity wise but also perfect in that they lack the experience of suffering and despair? So there really was no way for them to fight back against meteion, save for stalling towards doom eventually? ||

[wind bough]

||Yeah||

[oblique gate]

Does anyone happen to know where to find Lyse after Endwalker MSQ?

[wind bough]

doesn't appear in the overworld

[lime zealot]

Help i still cant stop the tears ||every time i hear flow||

Also i think the stuff ||zenos said post final trial about that desire for more hits harder after finishing the game because now i am on copium for a good game and story||

If game for fun, why am sad

[glossy hemlock]

[marble charm]

Ending spoiler incoming: ||Considering MNK is a "punch things" class, you'd think a MNK WoL would be at least a tiny bit more effective against Zenos in the ending, after they both lose their weapons||.

[hollow ice]

||youve entered manly punch out mode, damage is normalized across the board, there is only willpower||

[marble charm]

||I activated Brotherhood just before the cutscene, the damage booster should count|| /s

[late aurora]

||Zenos cast dispel||, because fuck you

[gaunt star]

||Speaking of Zenos and that last cutscene with him, I just replayed that quest/cutscene and all that. Finally noticed that Answers, the song played with ARR's announcement trailer makes a reprise in piano. My heart hurts.||

[tidal mauve]

the biggest revelation of endwalker is that ||we've been playing to the tune of answers this whole time||

||they been building this up since warcraft 3 1.0||

[gaunt star]

||Exactly. Literally the entire song was 10 years of content.||

[brisk quail]

Counter point:

||LIQUIIIIIIDDDDD||
||SNAAAAAKKKKEEEE||

[marble charm]

🤣

[lime zealot]

Ok i have a confession to make so i saw the art spoiler ||that you see at the end of the cutscenes with the scions and the ancients walking through and I thought hermes w/the bird was the wol so I thought xiv would pull a nier and have us wipe our existence from present time(in the pic alphi is leading everyone who looks happy) and have us stay in the past to fix sht || that was rly sad and im glad i was wrong

[slate ridge]

you know how ||when you defeat zodiark in the msq and the final days start again, you hear a voice afterwards. is that meteion you hear?||

[wind bough]

||yes||

[gaunt star]

Do not click if you're not through endwalker, or level 90 ish in the MSQ

||as Lyon pointed out, yes. The Final Days you're experiencing then is Meteion's Song of Oblivion, not something caused by Zodiark||

[orchid plinth]

yes is the answer

[mossy pawn]

I love endwalker

[keen osprey]

So like... when in Radz, when the ||Alchemists made grabby hands to Estinien, do we have an emote for that?||

[dusky shoal]

uh anyone know what this is?

[rain onyx]

sightseeing node, use /lookout on it

[dusky shoal]

oh dope ty

[keen patio]

I love how Alphinaud is just slapping a training dummy. Boosted sage

[pallid girder]

Thats what you should do if you boost your job

Alphinaud setting a good example

[keen patio]

That's what I did when I boosted SMN Then again, it is probably the easiest job in the game, so it's not as if I was missing out much on the learning process.

Simps.

[pallid girder]

the best fans

[urban phoenix]

well he has to master the nauliths

after all its a job change

[keen patio]

He should skim some Balance guides

[old rain]

Hopping in her to ask one thing then dipping so I don’t get spoiled by anything

||What’s the song that plays when the alchemists at the Great Work wake up? It sounds super familiar but not||

(Thavnair)

[keen patio]

Yoooooo, G'raha wears Urban glam

[glossy hemlock]

You’d think Worst Fortemps Boy would be used to the cold smh

[granite nimbus]

He's the biggest nerd in a nation that prides itself on being made up entirely of nerds.

[old rain]

I swear I know this song

But at the same time I don’t

[primal basalt]

||radz at han day theme||

[river hound]

He is the worst for multiple reasons, this included

[indigo shale]

He’s the only named ishgardian that bothered to come and help us, no other high house or even another fortemp came to help, that makes him the best ishgardian, the only one willing to help the wol

[keen patio]

This is already the best expansion.

[keen patio]

Does Aymeric count

[indigo shale]

Just to ask where abouts in the ew msq are you
