Final Fantasy 14

[simple elk]

I'm currently stuck between wanting to clear p10s and not wanting to prog it

[fair fjord]

Understandable

[simple elk]

at least my ilvl is going up but if I want to continue this trend I have to do p10s

[fair fjord]

Prog pf usually only gets worse as time goes on, better to jump in now if you can

[simple elk]

too late for me now

did it with 2 different groups got through turrets once

[dusk wave]

p10s definitely the biggest pf hurdle

p11s theoretically is alright

[simple elk]

I like how the best group for p10s I found was on monday

turret/bonds 3 group and we cleared it

[fair fjord]

Whenever I pf'd on an alt my best bet was always making a 0/1 chest party late into thr week to try and get some bored people that already cleared

[dusk wave]

yeah

the desperate people on mondays can get shit done

[simple elk]

This was a 1 chest party as well

Still won the roll though on what I needed

[dusk wave]

cleared p12s! GET ME OUTTA HERE

[simple elk]

congrats

I tried 2 parties from the start in p11 and I didn't have much luck

got to shadowed messengers a few times

[dusk wave]

yeah if you take a bit of time to trudge through PF

p11s should be easier than p10s for sure

the early strats for p11s are really really good

[cosmic zenith]

Facts, actually

Still one ofthe best and most hilarious storylines in the entire game

[dusk wave]

Rookie mistake not having your LL 50/50 on the outside and inside

Pro black mages know perfect LL spots

[dusk wave]

Time to start p9s

[tidal saffron]

i might

ive failed progging p1 and p5 so might as well fail 9 too

[simple elk]

I'm currently unsure if I should prog p12 or not

[tidal saffron]

id like to actually prog

at least i have time for it atm

for the time being

[simple elk]

p9s took me the longest I think

p10s is apparently the hardest one from what I've heard

I had the most issues with p11s myself

[tidal saffron]

9.was fun when I did it in pf

The normal version

[simple elk]

main issue with pf is that whatever mechanic is listed as prog you go back like 3 steps for the real prog of that group

in p9s it is usually either lc1 or 2nd ruby or lc2

also tried some p12s and it doesn't seem like there is any step up in difficulty really

[dusk wave]

p12s isn't hard. p10s definitely the most movement intensive fight

p12s p1 is the second most movement intensive

p11s gives you a lot of time to figure out shit

p12s p2 would normally be a tricky fight

but the PF strats are so good for that fight

makes most of the mechanics a cakewalk

[tidal saffron]

what can i do for ez money with 90 mining botany alch and culnarian

my gear is probably out of date like crazy too though

i have pactmaker and ophtauroskin or whatever

ok so its the first tier of crafted gear iirc

[simple elk]

You can get 620 gear for purple scrips

And I always sucked at making money in this game so no clue

[dusk wave]

Yeah just get crafter scrips. And buy materia/mats with them, then sell

Also what you should do is.

Use miner or bot, go to Lakeland and find Gliderskin Maps

Do one of those once a day

They drop some glam mats that are very sought after

You can solo the map with a level 90 battle class

Or you can just find the most expensive map. Get it and sell it daily.

Usually one of the Stormblood ones are the highest on the market

[tidal saffron]

I remember doing something in shadowbringer

The solo maps

Had a chance for something

I think u showed me that one

[tidal saffron]

i think i remember there being a meal you can make with a macro

for scripts

like you just buy the mats on the market and you can profit w/ scripts when buying materia w/ them

does that still exist or

is everything just so saturated atm that prices didnt hold up

bc materia is super cheap rn

[dusk wave]

no idea

[simple elk]

money from coffee biscuits is not longer in

don't think you can make money from collectables like this anymore

[tidal saffron]

I need to stop quitting halfway through an expsc and just turbo sweat it out

I want realboy money not just like 1m

[simple elk]

I'm at 15m needing like 175m

[tidal saffron]

testing my luck

[simple elk]

ok I didn't expect the erp to be this popular

[dusk wave]

There are definitely servers where the ERPers flock to

I think Balmung is one

[tidal saffron]

paladin seemed to have changed quite a bit from the last time i played

[frail kite]

paladin had a pretty big rework a while ago

mine's only level 60 or so

[tidal saffron]

moreso referencing the dvine might procs

i guess you just rnadomly get free holy circles/spirits now

which seems kind of weird to add considering how air tight the pld rota was

[dusk wave]

yeah

this is the most simple paladin has ever been

and flexible

you basically just

1-2-3-1-2-Atone-Atone-Atone-DMHS

repeat

when FoF and Req comes off cooldown

Double weave them into Goring blade

magic phase

then ideally use any DMHS

all atones

or do Royal authority into DMHS

until FoF wears off

then back to your normal rotation

[tidal saffron]

[dusk wave]

atonement not breaking combos was really nice

it basically means that

the extra 3 gcds that we have during FoF after goring->confetti->faith->truth->valor

will always be our higher potency gcds

we never have to hit fast blade or riot blade during FoF windows

[tidal saffron]

thats awesome

sounds like its incredibly more simple

[dusk wave]

[tidal saffron]

undercutters be like

[dusk wave]

Strange

[tidal saffron]

make up

[dusk wave]

that's a bun-ass boi

[tidal saffron]

85 pancakes time

85 is enough to afford every single book that im missing all the way to 10

and i just bought all the white scrip gear from l70 and l80

so after this i should be set to just sit in ishgard and

hate my life

[wispy mango]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-for-an-answer-stare-hmph-angry-glare-gif-16391871

[dusk wave]

it's popotos all the way

[tidal saffron]

well once i have my carp caught up its gunna be ishgard

i got all the books for 1-10 mastery and all the gear for 70 and 80

should be easy sailing once everything is on the same tier

gunna become an omnicrafter and roll in money

retire in a mansion or something

[simple elk]

I keep hearing that all the time

but I have yet to get any money from being an omnicrafter and I have no idea how to get it

[tidal saffron]

craft armor that you gather yourself i guess

idk

take advantage of the hilarious price on quest items

[simple elk]

it's a pyramid scheme I'm pretty sure

[tidal saffron]

lmao

[simple elk]

tbf the most money I made was when I was leveling in ARR

made some of the items needed for the crafter quests and it sold pretty well

[tidal saffron]

can do uhh extremes for the weapon mats

and then sell those

[simple elk]

making 10 raptorskin jerkins selling them all for 35k each was enough for my teleportation needs at that time

[tidal saffron]

the fae weps are still like 3m a piece on my realm

i think

[simple elk]

on my server it is 600k-1.8m depending on a weapon

last time I actually made money was when I was doing Eureka

[tidal saffron]

I got carp to 63 and called it gunna get everything to 70 tomorrow probably just gotta do math and see how many circles I run

I gotta look into purple scrips too or L90 crafted set for something because I did the math and it's 81 crafts for all the gear and eveything

[simple elk]

remember to do your custom deliveries as well if you are looking for scrips

[frail kite]

If you know what to prep for on patch days with new gear and get in ASAP you can make a lot

How ppl make money consistently idk

Retainers prob make most of my money just sell all the shit they get for you

[frigid summit]

[fair fjord]

Submarines

[frail kite]

FCs I join are always doing submarines already I've never even seen how they work lol

[tidal saffron]

LETS FUCKING GO

BLUE MAGE TIME

level 80 blue mage is gunna be so fun so many cool spells in shadowbringer

[tidal saffron]

forced to ironman all of my quest turnins because theyre overpriced as fuck lmao

[dusk wave]

Oof

[frigid summit]

so ready to survive Elidibus LB4 💪

[simple elk]

interesting p11s this week

my arms length got used and still got knocked back, party description said kindred but they did kindred uptime, cleared p11s on first pull and at the end I got a dm from a person named Gowon that I'm Blacklisted

[tidal saffron]

Do any of y use plugins or more specifically allagantools

It's helping me w these class quests but it won't read the hqs in my inventory and I've checked every setting I can

[frail kite]

excuse me espe that's illegal

can't say I've used that one

[tidal saffron]

rules were meant to be brokennnnnnnnn

its basically just garlandbells website but ingame

and it reads ur inventory

but its not working lmao

[simple elk]

I personally don't use any myself

even though it would probably help with savages I just don't like the idea od add-ons in general

[dusk wave]

I use a lot of qol tools

Better chat functionality. Gather buddy. Simple tweaks.

[tidal saffron]

yeah i use those

allagan tools just wont update when i craft the final product for some reason

[dusk wave]

Allagan tools i don't really use.

[tidal saffron]

do you use anything for crafters?

or just garlandbell and manually

i suppose i could just cope for the time being since once im done with these quests itll be a non-issue

[dusk wave]

Crafting i just use TeamCraft and copy paste macros from there

[tidal saffron]

yeah this basically just garlandbell ingame, so i can just cope for the time being

once everything is done i dont need it

[simple elk]

I use this to make my crafting list myself

http://www.garlandtools.org/

but I used teamcraft to adjust my crafting macros around the food that I had made beforehand

lot of macros are made around using Calamari Ripieni but I made like 200 of Jhinga Biryani

[tidal saffron]

yeah garland is epic

[fair fjord]

Teamcraft has a desktop app that can read your ffxiv network data to basically scan your inventory

Very convenient

[dusk wave]

Tfw you have a macro to make Calamari Ripieni but you need the Calamari Ripieni buff to make it.

[simple elk]

I have a macro for a bunch of stuff that overcaps the quality by like 5k

[wispy mango]

ur getting banned

[tidal saffron]

i should consider this tbh

probably better than what im running rn

[tidal saffron]

i love legally scamming people

you can make these with like 10 goldsmithing for less than 100 gil

[simple elk]

I used to do that with Baked Sole as well

people give zero effort into looking into cooking and I sold them by 3 for like 30k

[tidal saffron]

a lot of the class quests stuff sells for 15k-50k depending as well

probably a fortune to be made

problem with that is limited on demand

there was a gil selling website that had a 1-80 or 70 or something crafter guide that used specific gear for ishgard and i sold some of that gear every now and then for stupid prices

like 99k for a holy rainbow coat or whatever

just because theyre gil buyers anyway so theyre gunna just blindly follow the guide without thinking

[tidal saffron]

I GOT THE MOUNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[dusk wave]

niceu

[tidal saffron]

literally by a hair

[frail kite]

dang I forgot about patch yesterday

can actually play again

[tidal saffron]

blue mage is fun

the new stuff looked interesting

leveling is just as miserable as i remembered

[unique whale]

i think you need a partner to help make it less of a chore

[simple elk]

sitting while fishing has a little advantage actually

if you reel in a big fish and it is a succesful catch your character will stand up if not he will stay on the chair

[tidal saffron]

yippie

[tidal saffron]

do any of you use the teamcraft desktop client or just the website

[tidal saffron]

inventory management at its finest

[tidal saffron]

lol

close

[dusk wave]

Now you gotta get those desynth levels up

[tidal saffron]

theyre kinda up there

i think my highest is gsm at like 400

[simple elk]

I was way too lazy on clearing normal raids

I have more p11s clears than p12n ones

[tidal saffron]

[peak crypt]

nice

[supple oxide]

that's like half the money i currently have

never complain to me about being broke again

[tidal saffron]

crafting is expensive

[dusk wave]

big bangers

[peak crypt]

[fair fjord]

[tidal saffron]

GLASSES

AND HATS

[simple elk]

you play viera espe

what hats?

[unique whale]

hes cat girl now i think

[tidal saffron]

yeah but im also a serial fanstia-er

i was kinda hoping they would announce something along the lines of "hey they can wear hats now too!"

but i guess glasses > 2 entire races not being able to wear hats

[simple elk]

I wonder if this explains why the current tomestone and savage gear is a circlet and a forehead guard

for tanks at least other jobs don't matter

[frail kite]

they didn't say anything about viera hats 🙂

no mention of female hroth at all either

[tidal saffron]

[frail kite]

another big change, alliance raid roulette going to be based on char level and not ilvl. so people can't cheese roulette by unequipping gear anymore

[peak crypt]

orbonne monastery is my all time favorite alliance raid lol

[cosmic zenith]

That was a thing? lol. Bunch of suckers.

[frail kite]

yeah ppl forced themselves into syrcus tower that's why it happened all the time

[simple elk]

it is still going to happen all the time because it is required for msq but not as much

https://i.redd.it/ttvkrzmvu5fb1.jpg

[cosmic zenith]

Unironically though, I feel like we do not need more healer or tank classes

[tidal saffron]

we dont tho

4 adn 4 is fine for now

they still hvaent solved what they want the identity for the shield healers and pure healers to be yet either

and with the ast rework coming soon-ish its likely gunna get all fucked up a fifth time

since ast has been reworked every patch since its inception lmao

[peak crypt]

i wish they had just left it as being able to switch between shield and regen

[dusk wave]

dawntrail is continuing the trend of StB

so if we follow along:

8.0 gonna be phys ranged + tank
9.0 gonna be healer + melee

[tidal saffron]

I'd like them to do healer + tank together tbh

Also I don't think they're gunna do melee for awhile after this

We don't know much Abt the new one but 7.0 alr gunna have the dragoon rework as well

[cosmic zenith]

People seem to be expecting a magic DPS, actually

Which makes more sense, it's been a long while since RM

[frail kite]

we're getting a magic dps in 7.0

[peak crypt]

^

someone thinks it will be a painter class cause of the tmnt shirt

pictomancer

i saw people talking about beast tamer but that seems like it would be a job you cant use in normal content like blue mage

well actually i guess 11 had a beast tamer that was different from the one in v but i think it would be a cool special class if it were like v tho tbh idk how realistic that would be lol

[frail kite]

another limited job is unlikely with how blu is rn

I have no idea how they'd do pictomancer to make it cool/fun

[simple elk]

there is like 8 theories for the TMNT shirt

[frail kite]

I'm happy just waiting for more info

next fanfest too far away

[peak crypt]

feel free to tell them all lol

ive seen pictomancer and beasttamer and "green mage" lol

[cosmic zenith]

Gotta take the ARRRR theme into account, so maybe we'll get a swashbuckley thing

[simple elk]

you also have geomancer because of Genbu who is a turtle

the master of TMNT is a rat who has coarse hair = corsair

you can also take any of the 4 turtles and make a job out of them I guess

realistically you won't be sure about what the new job is gonna be until the fanfest in london

or maybe until the japan one next year

I personally don't see a green mage or geomancer making it though

those would probably be healer jobs

maybe they are gonna make some sort of a shaman job as well but that is not a speculation based on the shirt

[peak crypt]

ugh i dont want corsair

[frail kite]

corsair almost confirmed with what we saw of the WoL. one handed sword, no shield, piratey outfit

[peak crypt]

it seems likely esp from the trailer thats what the wol is but i dont care for it lol

yeah lol

[cosmic zenith]

I thought shaman as well but figured that's more of a green role

Maybe we'll get a voodoo priest who summons zombies to sic on enemies

That'd be kinda cool, actually

[simple elk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283690371433889793/1136645016366878750/image.png

i dont even have a viera lol

Omg ears are real

this is in the 2nd round of fanfestival pre-order

for a small price of 215€

[tidal saffron]

worth tbh

[simple elk]

looks like people are making a petition to lower the ilvl sync on endsinger

[unique whale]

is it being cleared too fast now?

[simple elk]

you are skipping entire phases

like the fully voiced later stages are gone

it kinda ruins the experience when you cut the fight in half

[unique whale]

thats fucked up

i hope they fix it. if any fight needs to remain as long as it was after it came, its that one

[simple elk]

some people were wanting other msq fights to have some sort of threshholds as well

the ARR fights are basically unskippable like Ultima etc.

but Thordan for example if you can stand in every aoe and not die

[tidal saffron]

thordan is insanely underscaled

i havent run endsinger since the story though would be sad if people miss a lot of the story because of it though

for thordan after the intermission hes supposed to swing wildly and be completely lost that you survived but it gets missed 90% of the time because he dies instantly

the wild swings are my favorite part because it showed so much character :(

[cosmic zenith]

This is why you gotta play expansions somewhat close to release

Never know what you'll miss otherwise

[tidal saffron]

yeah

or i mean

they just tune it properly

[unique whale]

yeah im not going to blame people for not playing at release

thats just dumb

[cosmic zenith]

No one was blaming anyone for anything though. Simply stating facts.

[tidal saffron]

ideally you do play on release but it should remain the same or similar experisnce throughout

you shouldnt be forced to miss things because tuning is so wildly off balance

[simple elk]

this is basically the issue of Endsinger in one picture

https://i.redd.it/rkbyx8uz8ggb1.png

it's the difference between ilvl 657 and a new tank at 540-560

[frail kite]

wow lmao

[fair fjord]

They dont even need to tune anything, just slap an ilvl sync on it like they do for every other trial and dungeon

[cosmic zenith]

You can't really fix that bit, it's just the gear difference. But you can fix it so that if there's someone doing the instance for the first time (and ONLY then, really) all the important story bits will be playing

[tidal saffron]

Wait endsinger isn't synced? Lmfao

Sync to max 580 or something that's ridiculous

[simple elk]

it only has average ilvl of 540

so basically telling you to get some accessories with that 560 artifact armor

[tidal saffron]

That's hilariously overlooked

For a story boss it needs to be synced thats just silly lmao

The only other thing y can do is force intermissions with invuln phases and that would make people even more mad

[simple elk]

funny thing is that mothercrystal actually has ilvl sync at 550

but it is also a level 89 not a level 90 trial

[dusk wave]

Nowadays they just skip the cutscene and the last phase with all the scions giving you boosts

So anyone experiencing the trial for the first time doesn't even see the hype shit

Whenever I get endsinger, I basically just hit 1-2-3 and mit buttons

I don't use any ocgds

[dusk wave]

where's that jade clip with JB

jae tried to ruin everything

[tidal saffron]

Atm I'm a dragon girl but bun boy is my identity

Serial fantasia user

And yeah they all are, I doubt it lasts long but they have fun once a year before moving on lmao

[dusk wave]

o

yeah i think

unless a couple of them really find the story interesting

and make friends with people in game

i can see them sorta just peacing out in like a week

going back to valorant or whatev they usually do

[tidal saffron]

[dusk wave]

Half my static on Thursday were power Rangers

[cosmic zenith]

These are kamen Riders, not Power Rangers

[unique whale]

Thank you grumpy

Finally someone gets it right

[cosmic zenith]

I got u

[peak crypt]

lol

[tidal saffron]

made this the most convuluted way i could, but i just hit 90 warrior

next plan of action is tldr;
gnb > mch > rdm > rpr > sam > drg > mnk > drk > blm

[simple elk]

I just leveled them up by roles

so all tanks at once just so I can get rid of all the old fending gear at once as well to clear up the inventory

[tidal saffron]

iw ould do that but drk feels like absolute ass to play

and blm will blow my brains out if i train it rn

so imma just go gnb, finish phys ranged then all the melees

[frail kite]

I have like half the jobs untouched still I ain't ever doin that

so much work

[peak crypt]

im like this too lmao

at first i leveled what i want but now im doing it in order to try to have the least clothes as possible like once i get all my healers to level 70 i can discard the level 60 healing gear, that kind of thing lmao

[simple elk]

I haven't played a summoner since like level 70

it is one of the classes that I have no clue how to play thanks to scholar

[peak crypt]

i havent played summoner since level 30 (is a scholar main)

lmao right

now that i have everything to level 70 i will finally pick up sage and reaper lol. im like that too where i wont pick up the new classes until i get all the old ones to their starting level

and one day when i have everything capped i'll pick up blue mage

[simple elk]

I did it like that as well

basically finished the expansion before moving forward to the next one

it also took me almost 2 years to get to the end of endwalker because of that

[peak crypt]

oh i didnt wait to finish expansions for it

[dusk wave]

Do you care about leveling trusts at all?

If so, probably use trusts to lvl your dps to save queue times

You get a fancy title

[tidal saffron]

Hmm I didn't consider that but maybe

Considering they're all level 80 for the most part might be the easier route

[dusk wave]

yeah

[dusk wave]

this only works if you have leveled your trusts from 70->80 during shadowbringers

[tidal saffron]

Uh oh

Well I have gunbreaker and reaper to level to 80 still I guess

[cosmic zenith]

Reaper is at least fun, albeit slightly repetitive

[tidal saffron]

True

[dusk wave]

and reaper has the fewest positionals

lemme verify

but I guess it depends on what we consider is a positional

because the default spot is to be behind the boss

so if you have a rear positional, you don't really have to move unless it happens during a mech in the fight

whereas flank positionals you gotta move to the side

i think i'll just look up positionals

[dusk wave]

dragoon ~23 positionals per 2 min
monk ~17 positionals per 2 min
ninja ~15 positionals per 2 min
reaper ~10 positionals per 2 min
samurai ~16 positionals per 2 min

[peak crypt]

lol dragoon

i dont main melee so this means almost nothing to me lol

[dusk wave]

some melee weaponskills get bonus damage if you're behind the boss or on the side of the boss when you hit the button

[peak crypt]

i know this much 😭

[dusk wave]

that's about it

[peak crypt]

is 23 like you have to swap between back and side 23 times in 2 minutes?

[dusk wave]

so dragoon has to make sure they're positioned correctly on 23 of their button hits every 2 minutes

every 2 mins, in general, most jobs hit 48 spells/weaponskills

the global cooldown buttons

of those 48 buttons, dragoon has to make sure 23 of them are positioned correctly

[dusk wave]

pretty much

except usually

[peak crypt]

wow lol

[dusk wave]

the whole party is like

stacked right behind the boss

so you don't really have to move if you have to hit a rear positional

only when you have to hit a flank one

do you have to move to the side

and then you just move back to the party behind the boss

but when the fight requires you to like

move around and stuff

then you have to start worrying about where your character is positioned before hitting those buttons

[peak crypt]

ive played melee enough i just wasnt sure what "23 positionals per 2 min" exactly meant since i dont care about being efficient on melee

[dusk wave]

ye

that's fair

[peak crypt]

thank you for explaining tho lol

[dusk wave]

monks used to have

a lot more

but they removed the rear bonus from their two most common weaponskills

so the # is a lot lower

if i only cared about flank positional buttons

i think dragoons goes down to like

8 or 9?

monks down to around 7-8. ninjas i think only 3?

samurai goes down to 7

and reaper goes down to 5

[frail kite]

does that take into account that drg doesn't have to do positional during dragon sight anymore? but that's only 20 seconds

[cosmic zenith]

I mean, all melee DPS have their cheat button for mech timings during bosses to make sure their positionals still hit

Outside of that the flank positionals is really essentially just "move one step to the right, attack, move back"

[frail kite]

I never use true north tbh lol

but dragon sight is already part of drg rotation

they just added that in 6.4

so you don't even have to think about it, it's free

[cosmic zenith]

But that's one of the most essential and important skills melees have, lol

[frail kite]

it's not really that often that you just can't do positionals

maybe in Savage

[cosmic zenith]

It's also a "oh shit" button to make sure you don't end up with a bunny on your head

Even though the bunny is cute

[frail kite]

well I don't play ninja

drg I have no problems

[cosmic zenith]

It's less about being able to and more about it often times just being better for the flow especially in normal fights/trash pulls when you can't be bothered to move behind every fucking mob or when you're soloing stuff and getting behind aggroed mobs can be hard

But I guess that's the beauty of it, everyone can just play however they want (but you'd definitely need it for optimal savage )

[simple elk]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/487344

a digest of it incase you didn't watch it or didn't want to watch it

[peak crypt]

HUH

true north can stop your mudras from messing up??

[dusk wave]

Good point. With the dragon sight buff it goes down to 18 positionals

[dusk wave]

Don't think so

[cosmic zenith]

It does indirectly

As in, you can focus on not fucking up your mudras instead of running about to hit your positional

[peak crypt]

ah i see what you mean

[dusk wave]

Yeah it probably helps people learning ninja to pop True north more often while learning mudras

Eventually ninjas get to the point where they don't really have to pop True north

Since you only have one weaponskill with flank and you only use it to refresh your buff

Exceptions would be like

When savage strats require you to be in a very specific spot

P1S fourfold. P3S darkened fire. Stuff like that.

[cosmic zenith]

Basically endgame raiding in general requires you to know and utilize your full skillset, ye

[dusk wave]

Or if youre doing roulettes and tanks are just flipping the boss back and forth

[cosmic zenith]

Not that I have done any endgame raiding in years, but you know

[dusk wave]

Probably still the same deal

Maybe more interesting mechs nowadays and fewer bullshit due to bad coding

I've heard horror stories about the savage coils

[cosmic zenith]

I dare say mechs are a little more intricate nowadays than it was during Alexander raiding

[dusk wave]

Yeah even P10N was pretty ahead of the rest of EW raids

Mech wise

And p10s even more so

[fair fjord]

Theyve pretty consistently been shifting difficulty away from jobs and into encounter designs yea

[cosmic zenith]

I've just accepted I'll never do endgame raiding again cause I just don't have time for that shit

[dusk wave]

My raid group is worried about finishing p12s on time and I'm like "hey you all got through p10s. It'll be fine"

[cosmic zenith]

But I like watching people do it

[fair fjord]

You have like 6 months to clear at the very least

[dusk wave]

Yeah

I think on time for them is before 6.5

[fair fjord]

Oh

Which week are we in? Like 13?

[dusk wave]

And finish = get 8 clears of p12s

Uhh

Yeah week 13.

[cosmic zenith]

I'll probably resub, like, 2 months before new expansion to make sure I get everything ready for it

2 months should be fine, right

[fair fjord]

Okay I think 8 reclears is mathematically impossible already

[dusk wave]

I just got my 8th p12s book and I cleared it week 4

Oh wait

[fair fjord]

Depends on what getting ready is for you lol

[dusk wave]

We are approaching week 13

We are in week 12 atm

[fair fjord]

I kinda wanna do older ults again

[dusk wave]

Wait no

We are in week 11

[fair fjord]

Endwalker ults were rough

[dusk wave]

Yeah week 11

DSR seemed fun. I've only heard that TOP is not fun at all from pretty much every ulti raider I know

[fair fjord]

Idk about not fun at all

But it definitely has some turn offs

Hope they do something to ucob and uwu cause starting those at 70 when the max is 100 is gonna be so strange for job kits

(They probably wont or they wouldve already announced this)

[cosmic zenith]

Make sure I have all the shit done that has piled up between I played last and expansion. Which is basically anything after... err... idek man. I dipped shortly before they introduced the new beast tribe I guess.

Obviously no gearing cause none of that matters

[fair fjord]

Theres a deep dungeon, new 4 man dungeons with difficulty degrees, Island sanctuary and I think thats kind of it besides the usual stuff like 24 man raids etc

2 months should be more than enough

[cosmic zenith]

ye

I heard there's a normal dungeon that's actually hard now

Surely that's just made up nonsense

[fair fjord]

Dont think its officially called normal dungeon

Criterion dungeons have a normal mode and a savage mode I guess and they both have savage-esque mechanics

[simple elk]

I personally find p10s fairly easy now

I had the most issues with p11s

[simple elk]

https://i.imgur.com/d1pOZzA.jpg

[dusk wave]

I fuck this up on red mage. Not on purpose tho

"Oh shit the healer is down. Ill make sure to use my next dual cast to rez!"
muscle memory hits the Verthunder

[cosmic zenith]

I will admit I get mad whenever RMs "forget" to do their rezzes

But that's also true when the healers are not down. Rezzing has always been a magic DPS job

Not in all situations of course, but certainly whenever the healers are just fucking busy healing

[simple elk]

just don't die lol

[cosmic zenith]

Tell that to dumbass DPS' standing in poop

[tidal saffron]

honestly when theres a red mage i dont res

its not worth the huge mana loss (if youre not thin air whm)

id rather save my res for when they die

[dusk wave]

i just tried to do p12s as red mage

we got to the last mech and people kinda lost their minds

rip

[tidal saffron]

i tried clearing uhh unsync e12s and diamond wep and just got too confused with certain strats that i just dipped after a kill each

[simple elk]

if you ever feel bad

these are my p11s parses apparently

[tidal saffron]

oof

[cosmic zenith]

B-but parsing is illegal

[tidal saffron]

I don't think anyone's gunna report grey parsers

If u were purple and bragging maybe

[cosmic zenith]

kek

[tidal saffron]

Oh grumpy ig u havent seen bc I cba backreading the two events that drop on the 27rh have a ton of stuff

[cosmic zenith]

Still trying to lure me in rn I see

[tidal saffron]

Well you should be able to get the free 2 weeks game time soon I think

If u haven't played in a while

Rising has a Phoenix mount that might make the twins sad for spoiler reasons, and the moogle tombstone event has a ton of neat shit

Like all of the stb dogs and fat cat minion+parasol

Fat...Cat...Parasol.........

[simple elk]

has a lot of things from Eureka that made me a bunch of gil in the past

[dusk wave]

I was trying to get a p12s kill earlier today

Got a really good parse on a part 1 kill

[tidal saffron]

the two hairstyles should be nice too

[simple elk]

Golbez is kinda funny as well nowadays

with a good group you kill him at 2nd meteors

7 minutes 59 secs

PF group btw

[dusk wave]

Yeah with tier 3 gear some fights get really silly

Still happy that I got a top 20 parse on p12s part 1.

[tidal saffron]

🐐

[simple elk]

it's not like Golbez is some old fight though

[dusk wave]

it's true

but for golbez bis was like

640

but you can enter it at what

630?

having a combo of 650+660 gear is a huge upgrade

[simple elk]

ye it is but seeing how my first clears were around 6k dps and now it's at 8.9k

not sure if there isn't echo now though as well

since it's still listed in the high-end duties with scary purple face probably not

[dusk wave]

and it's also 8 players all with pretty good gear

the kill time alone

shows that

i don't have much knowledge when it comes to optimization

but from what i understand kill time is the #1 important thing for parsing

[simple elk]

[peak crypt]

lol

[dusk wave]

Spreadsheet memes are always 👌

My notes for p2s paladin rotation were actually fucked up

Back then the rotation was extremely tight and p2s has at least 3 spots where you lose gcds.

Current paladin wouldn't give a shit.

It's really hard for 6.4 paladin to go into FoF with bad gcds after magic phase

[tidal saffron]

I wanted to learn blm but it's like, not even worth it tbh lmao

I'll get it to 90 for completion sake but it's just not for me

[unique whale]

thats what khloe is for

and pvp

[simple elk]

when I was leveling blackmage I did the most basic stuff

[peak crypt]

and the tribal quests

[dusk wave]

Atm blm is pretty close to easy mode

The meme shit is all like

Top 99 percentile optimization

If you wanna play blm doing high end content

It's not too bad

Oof

[dusk wave]

slowly getting there

[unique whale]

im at 0

[simple elk]

I played it like 5 times and then I saw like 6 different cheating methods on videos and I was a bit dissapointed

on one hand I would like to get it but on the other I won't be able to use it because people will assume I cheated as well

[dusk wave]

[simple elk]

my second pillar of virginity in this game

[light mist]

im actually mad. why is this a thing. i spend money on this like what

[frail kite]

google says crysta expires after 2 years how much did you have lol

[light mist]

u can see there hm i got

it is literally the only way i can buy my subs with so i just been holding for next expansion

this is fcked

[frail kite]

gotta spend it on the mogstation or something I guess

[light mist]

ill get 1 month first iguess. ill do the msq only did whatever was available when endwalker released. after that i am completely lost on what to do. nothing in the game rlly intrests me

[frail kite]

saw a reddit post where someone had 9000 crysta expire and they didn't even get a warning

$90 gone

[light mist]

yeah i saw that one. i got a mail today

[dusk wave]

I got the last boss down to 40% in my first lockout for Aloalo Criterion Savage.

Since then, haven't been able to even get a party going on PF

[simple elk]

I haven't even touched those fights because I feel like it's already doomed trying to find anyone for this

[dusk wave]

[light mist]

started my sub and logged into the game by the vanu vanu rep ppl lol. doing them as im here anyways and really reminds me once more how slow and boring sidequests are

am missing 76 crysta to buy a mount

pog ||vrtra grew up ||

[light mist]

okay, spend like 150k on auction house gear so i can continue msq. am up to 590 now. gonna be intresting to see what keybinds i remember

[dusk wave]

Need/greed every dungeon run

Also if you start the Pandaemoniun raids you should snag all the gear pieces

You have to do each raid maybe 2 or 3 times to get enough pieces to turn into gear

But it will be a big ilvl boost

Current msq ilvl is 640? Or 650

If you wanna set yourself up for dawntrail, I would run the last dungeon a few times and do the alliance raids to get geared up

Also make sure you have level 80 scouting gear and magic dps gear if you plan on picking up the next two jobs

[light mist]

ill prob quit againg after the msq. the combat is still just too slow and boring to me. being used to big open worlds instead of a million areas like in ff14 i cant stick to it.

but ty ill make use of this so i can do the msq

[simple elk]

yeah definitely need on every content you do

and the latest dungeon is ilvl 620

best crafted gear is 640, gear from latest normal raid tier is 640, gear from latest alliance is 650 and gear from comedy tomestones is 650 upgradeable to 660

[dusk wave]

tried ultimate for the first time today

dsr for an hour and a half

saw a good chunk of that fight which is cool

I mean, you're normally supposed to switch off WM with 3 sec remaining, but it's fine to move it to 5-7 sec

You just have to compensate on the other song timers

The worst is when MCH pops hypercharge right when a gaze mech starts casting

Benchmark test thingie? Since when is FF14 terribly taxing on your hardware?

[simple elk]

the new expansion will have a graphics update

so the min requirements and so on is different

the graphics update is also a reason why the expansion is gonna be like 140GBs

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark

Damn, they're going HD?

Nice

has character creator too and you can import your char data so you can see how they're gonna look

[gilded quail]

i looovoe energy drain...

[cosmic zenith]

This is painfully accurate

[wispy mango]

I remember this

[cosmic zenith]

I will need to resub soon to get shit done before expansion hits

live letter is on rn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh5piV-0MWQ

[cosmic zenith]

Reaper mega effect spam

WOah, WHM finally got a close in move

[cosmic zenith]

Man, I don't remember the game being 90+GB big

How big is it gonna be after the graphics update, geez

[frail kite]

the newest system reqs are 140GB

[cosmic zenith]

I guess I'll go watch a bit of Kdrama

Should I even bother with the island stuff

I have done nothing of that yet

[frail kite]

if you enjoy lots of gathering

has mounts and minions to buy

[cosmic zenith]

I don't mind gathering, I have the jobs fully leveled

Definitely have to do tribal quests daily to get that out of the way before DT

How I looooooove daily grinds.

[frail kite]

my favorite part is once you get caught up and have plenty of mats all you have to do is look up the weekly setup to earn cowries from the workshops, they add up fast

[cosmic zenith]

First order of business is getting un-rusty anyway. Being a rusty healer is the worst

At least as DPS you can sorta chill

But I guess I'll have the silly returnee leaf above my head

[frail kite]

yes I love dps chill

I think last time I came back I was doing roulettes on Sage and forgot to set Kardia every time

[cosmic zenith]

Maybe just do the new ally raids first and just be the bad healer. There's always one per alliance.

Go spam cure 1 to really annoy people

[frail kite]

I love tanking or healing in those, ez

[cosmic zenith]

Stand in every pile of goo

While the people who have done this dozens of times curse my name

Honestly though, I could never be bad-bad. Just plop down a flower, pop medica 2, assize, repeat, amirite.

(in ally raids that is )

[frail kite]

play sage just press every button, probably fine

[cosmic zenith]

Pewpewhealing

I haven't even read up on what the upcoming new classes will be and which classes will be completely nuked and revamped (again)n this time

Probably summoner. It's always summoner.

[frail kite]

they went over that in the live letter this morning

nothing too crazy tbh

even drg didn't get changed much

[cosmic zenith]

But... traditions

[frail kite]

they did change AST cards again

[cosmic zenith]

If DRG players aren't angry after an expansion drops, what's even the point

[cosmic zenith]

Ah yes, the ever shifting stars

[frail kite]

well some people are mad cause they removed one of our jumps but meh

[cosmic zenith]

New classes are.. idk, Viper and that blue mage if the WoL drew monsters instead of eating them class?

[frail kite]

pictomancer

[cosmic zenith]

No healer and no tank? What a sham.

Viper just seemed like a rogue that decided to not learn ninjitsu

If it doesn't get bunnies on head it's 0/10, clearly

And I guess I wasn't too far off seeing how it uses ninja gear

(as in it shares the same gear as them)

[supple oxide]

this is edwin

[cosmic zenith]

The callout

Well, the dl finished so I guess it's time

HelloDarknessMyOldFriend.mp4

[supple oxide]

please

[cosmic zenith]

Oh god, all my settings are gonna be gone, aren't they

Yep, pain

[dusk wave]

Oof

[cosmic zenith]

I love setting up my HUD and taskbars for 3 hrs

And then do it again once I realize it was different last time

First order of business is turning all HUD elements besides main hotbar to 60% size cause yikes

[frail kite]

gotta manually upload that stuff to the cloud on the character select screen I think

[cosmic zenith]

Well, it's a new installation on a new computer. Can't be helped now.

espe is evil

i hate him

[tidal saffron]

:)

[dusk wave]

so rood

[tidal saffron]

i have to inform sam of the sages abilities

it was actually one of the rougher ones i did, i wasnt watching his cast bar and did it early because i was afraid of dying too

[dusk wave]

if you think espe is gonna rescue you, you can use arm's length to prevent it

[tidal saffron]

dont teach him how to counter me

:(

[supple oxide]

i don't have those kinds of reflexes

[cosmic zenith]

Rescue is still the most troll move

And the healers' way to tell you to stop being useless

[peak crypt]

lmfaoo

[supple oxide]

It's okay he laughed so hard it started to hurt so I'll take that as payback

[tidal saffron]

bruised rip go brr

my favorite was just the instant realization of "how did i... DID YOU DO THAT "

[supple oxide]

I thought I might've fat fingered bc I do that with my reaper dash sometimes but I went BACKWARDS

and you had mentioned you were gonna kill me earlier

[tidal saffron]

:)

[cosmic zenith]

I call that healers adjusting

[dusk wave]

You can also just pop arms length when the mechanic happens.
