awww yeah 8888 comms
Wau.
haha, haha
oh my god this triad is kicking my ass
gimmie ur bahamut, bitch
neat.
new glam
LMAO
i fucking bonked Zurvan with a book
Hell yes
best lala
hey i wanna make the EW DRK relic because it looks cool and i need a Poetics dump
buys the wrong fucking magic rocks
MOAR POETICS
we love leveling roulette in this house
i am still trapped (positive) in medieval bohemia. i finally tore myself away from all the shiny side quests to enter the largest town... and spent two hours on a shopping spree
remember kids, bullying is bad, unless its lalas
Deserved
this is the diabolical shit i get up to during raid breaks
either that or listening to Platinum Disco
Fuck, the instanced area won't be implimented until May, are you shitting me? 
Well, it'll give time to catch up on Extremes
"What about Savages, Hc?"
hahahahhahaha fuck off
"So how's P4N going?"
not dracula got hands
Playing through NG+ when suddenly
lmao
(EW 83 Trial) This pic goes hard, feel free to screenshot.
bruh i did Seiyru again and two of the adds said
"They see me rollin'"
"They hatin'"
lmao yeah
cause criterion
new sword tho
"my little potato legs can only go so fast!"
"okay now that i've done nothing but play DRK for 3 days, lets throw myself into Expert with GNB"

(7.1 dungeon) absolute pinnacle of greed
because y'know, i am the most goated GNB player 
me, learning new skills on the fucking fly
Ugh j forgot about little.ladys day
i do quite enjoy the excuse to freshen up a glam :3 this weapon got some lowkey fire emblem three houses vibes to it
so you're the one who stole my zeromus katana
then again i don't even have SAM at 60
looks rad tho, still thinking about what to do with my coffer
kill me
wait, the other one is just a Timeworn map 
time to exploit the market
... wait, shit, i need to get rid of my other map
GEE I WONDER WHERE THIS MAP IS
cute
Oh GOOD. PTSD.
yay first
(7.2 spoilers, very obviously)

Ayyyyy!
No more Walks of Shame
jfc the ILVL requirement for the next EX is 730 
Oh good. Another fucking Roulette to add onto the pile 
(For the record, it contains the 3 level 100 dungeons in 7.0)
THE REST OF THE ROCKS IN 7.2 IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY
oh im gonna need to rework those shelves stat
oh beloveds i adore you
perfect pieces of decoration actually
finally, looping read emote for the nerds
oh lets go
yoooooooo
oh do make my punchies prettier very yes thank you

Ayo?
wonder if jog sits between sprint n peloton now in amount of percentage? is everyone nin passive now? or do we get to run faster??
squeenix, details
Basically it's so you don't have to spam sprint in cities
Or switch to BRD
To go anywhere in a decent time
its for an event, itll wear off soon
dont worry about it, not relevant in threads
should be gone by tomorrow
Aren't those usually opt on?
This is about a character whose aim was to turn everyone equal.
So it's topical
I have those, but never used them. Too inconvenient for me.
i think you missed the most important change
I did read that too
and AFK doomscroll the Solution Nine social media
i found a purple smart
The knives... Are sharp!
2000 of each tomestone poetics, aesthetics, and heliumotry
It's almost a certainty they add crafter mats that will cost heliumotry, and if so, those will be big money the first day
I also expect materia prices to spike too, so I've been gathering a modest cache overtime

I should probably spend some of my tomes
Is there a way to copy the HUD, macro, etc settings from character A to character B
you have to go into the character config files
its like. under documents\my games or smth like that
make a backup first before messing with it ofc

look how they massacered my boi
wait, reduction in potency being lower is good right? 
yes
so cyclone is less good but primals are better for crowds
its a general buff for the class
drk had impalement be nerfed but got similar buffs

You've done it. You've forced me to fish. How many years of playing...
Lots of people seem to be crying about BLM
i don't understand the complaints other than the leylines nerf
To my understanding, people like the job being very complex and demanding, so it getting streamlined is an especially touchy subject for that crowd
I should start playing again
BAKARINA SPOTTED
i should get back to Otome Game Destruction Flag
still need to watch S2
(but ye hamefura is great. and even when it was rewatch for me this time i still cried over ||acchan bc dang it. lesbians cut short...||)
gotta do SOMETHING while servers are down
Wedding scene > hamefura
no XI expansions
XIV expansions
don't blame me for what the list maker had on there
I love my internet.
dunno what to first
MSQ? Raids? G LA M?
At the very least I have to check ut what they did to the Street stuff
My DRK glam! D:
oh shit! I have to do Tails yet
As soon as I can login I will try to unlock the 8 men raid 1st encounter, in case we try to do it togetherater
ohno i just realised
Wonderous Tails got updated
i don't wanna do the FFXI alliance raid!
you can't make me!

7.2 installed
Wau.
(7.2) ||GLIMMER?
||
Waif spotted
also yes i'm using GNB because
Squapes
||YES I WANT MORE HONEY B LOVELY PLS||

||SHE||
Ok I unlocked the first fight.
I'll wait a few days to see if we do it as a group before going in by myself
(7.2) ||"Shit, using Feral Souls is bad? I'mma retire then."
- Honey B Lovely being based as fuck, 2025||
||OH NO HER THEME IS PLAYING||
||Could... Could you not have the bomberlive anywhere else for fucks sake?!?!?||
oh yea, i said i'd see if the streetwear has changed from 7.1
It MIGHT BE the lighting playing tricks on me, but the right one looks more defined 

-# no there will bo no return of the lala hc
||KITTIES
||
forgor the spoiler, lmao
||Hey, I'm not "Unenhanced", I'm just Built Different||
||Poor kitties tho :c||
M5 unlocked! Holy shit I barely scrape by the ILVL requirement
Oh actually, I don't thanks for pointing it out
yeah, 715 is pretty damn high, but I suspect the new dungeon and gear will help
I mean at worse I'll grab a ring at the last minute
New tomestone gear should be way way over anyway
oh yeah, the tomestones have changed, so if you have some Aesthetics you can exchange those
and Helio gear is 720, I believe?
Yeah new tomestone gear is 750
which holy fuckin moly
It's the usual jump
You can also upgrade the helio gear to 730 with the token you get from the 24 men
Good thing they added a new roulette (Cap Level Dungeon)
And those give you 100 Helios
I'd probably be a bit better off gear wise if i did some Expert roulettes prior to 7.2
Yeah I wasn't playing much, I did a rush a few days ago to get the ring and upgrade it since that's gonna be around for a bit
And the 720 weapon
I had 720 already by end of 7.1
That new trial is a little spicy
I was hoping for a lot spicy
wau. with 720 armor i can BARELY do the raid as GNB
still prolly do it as WAR tho
also
HELL YE I GOT THE LAST 7.0 DUNGEON
BLASTS ||A TRAIL UNENDING||
Doing the story.
7.2 MSQ ||Ok listen FFXIV, it happened twice now that I kill an end boss, and somehow in the post patches two of them pops out, what is this?.||
Did they run out of ideas
Actually, this makes a lot of sense.
||I mean the living one, I'm not sure for the evil AI, but I like where this is going||
(7.2) ||Pet the Sphene||
||Man we are fucking up the Alexandria population real good.
Step 1: Listen Spehene is dead, rip her, let's have a funeral
Step 2: Evil Spehene *Oops, there goes some of your memories of it, and actually yeah that was just a memorial for the attack, I'm fine.
Step 3: Actually that's not true she is dead, you see these people actually remember right, it's the regulators
Step 4: Here have another Sphene, no the one we killed is still dead, this one is from 400 years ago, what do you mean you are confused random citizen with scrambled up memories? It's very very simple.|| 7.2 MSQ
(7.2) ||Sphene pretti||
7.2 ||Shale no, you can't use someone name in the plural, that seems rude as fuck||
||Ohhh...she is gonna wear the hood isn't she?||

When you meet ||Garnet in FFIX she goes around hooded to not reveal her identity, this is 100% not by chance||
Oh wow, you weren’t kidding about being distracted
7.2 raid story ||cant argue with that logic!||
don't forget to claim your free Fantasia
same as the last one in Old Gridania
didnt i get that in uldah... or was that 7.0
they handin them out like candy these days
Hmmm should I look at spoilers for fun?
(7.2 raid) ||PERFECT GROOVE||
7.2 arcadion ||splatoon? in MY MMO?||
It took me too long to realise ||the frogs in the background indicate which side of the arena is going to get hit||
7.2 arcadion ||no goin back no going back no going back-||
still arcadion ||"how the FUCK do i, a literal 8 year old, have more common sense than you both"||
||"As it turns out, there was some going back."||
the puns. they do not cease.
hehehehe
||a bomb inatior||
haha now i'm sad again
and of couse it's already on YouTube ||https://youtu.be/8gepFKfOf8M||

(M7 spoilers)
oh my god i thought there was a censor bleep in the song but i couldn't really tell because
the chaos
there is
this song is fucking peak
as a miqo player, standing next to ||two other miqos, making for 3 miqos, watching him play with 3 cats was weird||
at first i was debating between this and M5 but that detail clinched it
both songs are fantastic but
i am a sucker for death metal
stiiil arcadion haha! ||at last! babybabybabybabybaby
||
Can't wait for next week reset.
These are really fun fights
Ok this is gonna make the reclear next week a lot less traumatic
Probably also something from the MSQ and the tomestones
i bring an obvious meme as a goodnight gift. spoilers for all 7.2 arcadion bosses
lol, lmao even
we found three of this new leather from braxskin maps; https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/d7095451442/
8m each
yeah theyre always crazy high day 1
they tend to not sell well until price has crashed though unfortunately
(7.2 Arcadion) ||RAID BOSS FIGHTTTTTTT LES GOOOOO||
||"Lemmie 1v1 that bitch."||
(7.2 MSQ) ||PAT THE (real) SPEEEN||
||Ah fuck... This oughta be good.||
||"And this is where all the endgame gear is, so there's like 500 fucking players here."||
keep forgoring to spoiler images 
Wau.
Didn't think the raid and MSQ would end up next to each other!
||it's kinda cool to see the two stories exist at the same time, though! Like you're dealing with the Sphene stuff and the Arcadion concurrently!||
||Holmgang moment||
probably a dumb question but i am new to this; is scrip gear for craftgatherers that just opened up in 7.2 better than the crafted gear? they have the same item level, so im unsure. are they same? is crafted better bc iirc blue gear cant be blueprintsupercharged overmelded?
I think? it's case by case basis
i love you stones!!!!!!!!!!!!
*gets seat of sacrifice on blm
.... ah. so thats what they did to it. how does one play this now 
glorious
GET BACK HERE
You use Full Metal Field.
Critical direct hit! Denn the Orcatoothed takes 343600 damage.
i don't think blasting ultrakill music while doing Tails is a good idea, I end up committing many atrocities

truly though, what the hecc is the blm rotation now
i spent seat of sacrifice absolutely flabbergasted
god dammit i always forget which side of the arena to stand on for Sophia EX
me hitting superbolide right as the healer puts me to full HP mid pull
maybe i should stick to WAR, i'll kill less healers that way
murdered less by your angry healers that way*
well they're going to have to wait for Superbolide to wear off
fuck
According to the balance discord you do this for the opener.
I guess you just do the same things after without the cds.
BLM is a big mess now, its just not fun anymore that's why i stop during 7.0
alas i am still leveling blm 
Ow nvm then
i appreciate the intention though, thanks
its not like i find blm very fun in the first place
too casty for my monk main sensibilities 
It was before, but yeah if you like the pace of melee's better i understand.
but its basically monk with its like 1.94? gcd now

oh yeah, this dungeon got reworked
oh my god they fixed the fucking faces by anchoring them to the buttons
😭
Oh you can't ignore the staffs anymore because
- They get faster
- They go boom
i could not for the life of me recognize that as ff at first because i was like "where the hell are all the everything". and then i remembered most people do not in fact play on a small laptop and as such their ui elements dont take 40% of the screen 
(7.2/speculation) ||can't wait for M11 to be "I'm driving the corpse of Brute Bomber like a fucking Mazda!"||
my friend who stopped playing in 7.0 is expecting that to be ||he comes back as some undead|| in M11
||His corpse doesn't disappear, we just left him there, lmao||
the capitalists recovered it
best 60k MGP i ever spent
Its so simple now i don't see the point of playing it anymore, no timer , non-standard gameplay is gone.
There is no punish for mistakes.
Every BLM main is giga hating the recent changes because it cater to casuals and they just deleted every little fun and complex thing we loved.
If you like it don't let me or anybody discourage you from playing the job tho.
Its just yet again a homogenization of gameplay, like in wow for Legion/BFA shadow priest.
7.2 msq ||i really want them to do the spiderman pointing meme lmao||
msq ||this is honestly really exciting, as a sphene fan im really interested in what they do with this setup. absolutely sipping it up
||
someone should make art of that
actually ||co-ruling 2.0 sounds dope as fuck||
bringi did you end up doing M8 (mate) after I dipped?
Heh, the quest is right next to my favourite spot in Solution Nine
i usually hang out with this lalafell when i'm waiting on something
(Arcadion) ||YASSSS QUEEN BEE!||
lmao ||I love how Honey's theme pops up every time she's relevant in a cutscene
also she gives me big Iono (Pokemon) vibes... Not what I expected to compare to, lmao||
we did yep
I used to not like her. Used to, past tense.
HAHAHAHHA ||THE WOL JUST GOING BETWEEN THE CAMERA AND HOWLING BLADE LIKE "da fuq do i do now"||

||"I have serious gambling issues..."||
I picked the third option
HAHAHAHHAHAAAAA
||HONEY B USED THE POWER OF SIMPS TO GOAD HOWLING BLADE||
aw fuck ||howling blade is a DRK main|| 
LMAO I GOT BOTH THE GLASSES AND THE COAT ON MY FIRST ROLL
||is that fucking Dancing Green?||
i'm so happy the glasses are a thing you can get
goofy aaa WAR
i got a 91 on the glasses, jesus
someone in M5 said to follow the dance, and i said "i'm a tank, not a physdps"
|| > disappear aftercontracting turbo cancer
find out turbocancer can be cured by getting another soul
soul belongs to the saviour of the universe
fight anyway
lose
Relationship goals?||
oh yeah, i wanted to see the weapon touchup. apparently i didnt take proper screenshots of my main weapon in sixty billion years so get miqosilver-blasted
i love you new sphairai
preeettyyyy white tigers
|| > Adopt a cat
you're a literal catperson
Racism?||
||YES I GET TO LOOK AFTER KITTIES||
well that's Arcadian until 7.4 
GOOD GOD you need ILVL 740 for the last Savage of this tier 
yup, you tend to need real high numbers
well, time to do M5 until I get the last torso for the week
i should prob get some gear
~~especially since only my healers have any gear should we move onto more content
seein them side to side is so funny actually
"i am you but more buff"
i am not beatin those "designs all their characters to look the same in spirit" allegations
7.2 msq ||well THATS fuckin rude, trying to electrocute me. what am i, phoenix wright in 1-4?||
||"generally murder attempts are considered rood"||
yeah that's poor etiquette
I like how ||that was an attack that would have killed just about anyone, but for the WoL it just made them dizzy for a few minutes||
somethin somethin ||if you sip light aether for an expansion you adjust||
msq ||i love you evil scientist song. a banger||
mmmm the tension
got a 2 on the chest piece so i settled for a ring
honestly i should have gone for accessories first
720 on WAR 
bruh i replaced the 720 earring instead of a 710 ring
FUCKIN
CRINGE
the fact you need a full set of raid gear for Savage 4 almost is absolutely crazy
because with 450 tomestones a week for the 750 gear, you ain't replacing that anytime soon
ah, if you have deep pockets (or a crafter friend) you can buy ILVL 740 gear
that makes things a tad less grindy
people that do all 4 savage week 1 can either afford it or make it 
and also if you have a party of 8, you can ignore min ilvls
well at least I can do the first three Extremes in DT, that'll work for now
implying our ragtag group can clear DT Ex content
they're easy enough, ya just gotta believe
there is a reason i offer to give advice after every time we clear
except to me lmao
"weave better" 
i mean i guess in my case its just "fix ur uptime dummy"
"stop getting hit dumbass"
dying do b dps loss
i need that uptime
explodes the entire party
you have pretty good uptime bringi! i just would need to actually watch a clip as apposed to looking at logs for you
outside of the people who i summon, who are generally considered very good, have been playing a long time and reliably do harder content than this, you also tend to have the best dps by a fair amount
i mean, im a melee so isnt that kinda expected 
tank uptime is a myth anyway
its what the job is for
unga bunga
i have 17 mits and a dream
it used to be that melees have real good damage as a tradeoff, thats not as much of a thing anymore
random raid example
or a more modern one to be more reliable

i am very funni
i wouldn't know about high execution melee DPS i play VPR and RPR
inhales <@&1128722919405650000> pspspspsppspspsps, is anyone on the 7.2 msq trial?
nowhere near
I have yet to unlock it
also
loving the new role name
i was logging in on umbra when i remembereed
🐸 
thank you, i have great ideas
alas it do b like that sometime. thanks for info
i really should be more dilligant since I do want to have Expert roulette unlocked again, but lazy
i am also not there yet, i'm just getting roundt o the raids
M7 is brutal. That's your warning.
a fun kind of brutal tho!
ugh i know soundtrack always slays but fuck this music is good. i love you epic orchestra
i'm sure even by weekly reset it'll be a lot less brutal
because better gear + people have actually played it now
oh dear lord thats a mechanic. wahoo
really good fight. absolutely terrified of its extreme
i looked it up earlier and it's like ILVL 730
NOT THE MECHANICS, just the like, base summary of it like you know the instance itself
7.2 msq extremely funny ||how ff14´s antagonists for the last three expansions are like: but what if we committed just a little bit of genocide? just a tiny bit? why do you take such an issue with it?||
Ea
but i mean it was a given id like it, its ||beatrix ff14-ified|| 
7.2 msq ||honestly, fair thing to blow my ears up over||
This next recipe is very easy, anyone can make it. You can't, Beatrice.
Sorry, you can't beat rice
asghkhyezguge ||2ft tall alphinaud||
he's always 2ft tall
BEATRICHEEEEEEEEEE!
that name has a lot of Umineko related trauma to it, lmao
auuggh truly all they need ||is sappy music and some determination to face existential crisis|| and i am tearing up then n there
you're having fun
7.2 MSQ ||Did Light Yagami just blast me with all the electricity they had in the fucking city?||
the first thought that came to my mind when i saw that was "||IS THAT FUCKING NINTH REFLECTION OF FUCKING ASAHI OF ALL PEOPLE||?????"
I'm gonna stop you right there lil bro, ||you are in dire need of an Akh Morn to the face already, no need to explain further||
the song playin durin this is a banger
||Can't be, he's clearly a lot less punchable than Asahi,||
Still highly but it's not world class level punchable
give it time...
THE FF9 REFERENCES NEVER STOP
||Oh god when Roses of May hits||
A game after my own heart
I REALLY want to play the extreme of this
I sucked incredibly hard at that fight, I beter pratice a bit
Can we take a moment to appreciate how right I was, ||down the the number of the reflection||
very nice
i also scrolled down on those predictions and its funny how we're both right that "conqueror sibling is joining the tech dudes for antagonist purposes" and "two head is a red herring", theyre just both different people
of course thats sprinkled in between totally wrong assumptions lol
lol, nice
Yes and it only made you dizzy for a bit
i'm having intrusive thoughts again
as in, "hey, i should do the DRK HW relic!"
hc no you have the Manderville relici f you want a pretty sword, don't put yourself through that please
me playing DRK in 2025:
got ensinger in trial roulette and i could think of for 70% of the boss is those fucking meteors in extreme (if you recall i was very bad at them)
...and then it went full anime and i though "oh yeah i forgot endsinger has the power of friendship moment. nice
in conclusion still 12/10 trial but i am scarred for life
extremes give you trauma
GOLBEZ IS STILL ON MY SHITLIST
and ||Hydaelyn|| gives me pain still
i like how they made a stepladder for this lala
and even with that i'm taller than them.
reminder that female Au Ra are the second shortest race 
Umbra tall tho
It's actually quite common for when they need to put a lala behind a counter. You can see it with Grand Companies Headquarters, or Momodi in Ul'dah's inn.
tbh they probably bring the ladders themselves
maybe it's because i made Harq minimum size but she's shorter than 90% of non-Lala characters
exceptions being... Literal children, lmao

I guess all the chaos and screaming and dying means I don't pay that much attention to the other players
to be fair, Umbra did look like this for a while
she was sick
screaming
but she's doing better now
The first time I ran the new trial I died like, a million times, so now I'm running it some more because I love it and I want to be good at it
Ok I'm decent at it now, so far favourite trial of the expansion but like, it's like they made this for me.
So I'm not especially surprised I like it a lot.
Trial based on one of your favourite characters from your favourite FF game is like, an easy win on any long time FF players.
It helps that ||Roses of May|| fucking slaps
isn't ||Something to Protect|| a variant of the same theme?
yes
it's the good stuff
been playing theathrythm again and both of them are on there from 9
Sadly not on PC, so I never played it but heard great things.
On the plus side, I can't be forced to confront how much I suck at rhytm games if I can't play it.
i play it on switch
tbh i don't recommend because of how much the dlc costs
for... not much benefit
I just don't buy consoles in general because when I have disposable income that I could throw at a console I have an hard time buying that instead of upgrading my PC, since I use it for so many thing other than gaming.
crafting is a menace on my time. "lets craft some collectables for scrips, sure why not"
....
why is it 2 hours later
I plan to get back into the game next week and start leveling crafters and other classes.
Also catching up on role quests and stuff...I didn't even start the society quests yet
breaks are important
short term goal i wanna try n craft myself the 740 gearset at least for monk, and then spend billion years in cosmic exploration once that drops
what a coincidence
oh yeah check my new DRK glam
Hey, is there a way to copy an adventurer plate design to an instance portrait?
It's a simple pose to re-create but if I can just copy it, I'd like that
BUT WHY THO
Man I just keep getting level 90 duties, lmao
Not that I mind, being able to practice my DRK rotation at 90 is good
gets Antitower
fuck
Did they change SAGE much in DT?
Like, can I just swap to it and not bee too traumatised
It was fine
I still haven't even looked at AST
Yeah no, not today, that's for tomorrow Gen
i like WHM, is a very comfy and easy healer
Agreed, but I need to level the other healers so I can toss healer gear under lvl 100
I need to make space
I ended up tossing a bunch of stuff because I figured I can easily just get a full x0 set with Poetics and MB gear easily
Kept saving stuff for "ahh but what if I eventually level monk"
And yknow it doesnt come lol
i'm sure M3/4 as SGE will only go well!
-# what the fuck does SGE even do anymore

nvm i queeued in as GNB instead because I HAVE ZERO PATIENCE
me when i'm tired of your shit
Thanks SE
What the FUCK is this drone strike of a skill
(7.2 MSQ) ||Gra'ha calling me friend tickles me!||
||I like the third option! Can't spell Wrath without WAR||
||MY BOI I WISH I COULD DO DUTY SUPPORT WITH YOU 😭||
CHUG CHUG CHUG
(I like how there's a different model for the different food)
i did, it went well
IS THIS A SPY FAMILY REFERENCE
(TIL Briars are thorns)
(so Yor Briar being known as the Thorn Princess makes total sense!
)
Why don't I have any anya emotes


I did see an Anya in FFXIV once
i was trying to make a lalafell alt called Rob Anybody but then i found out you can't make a blue skin lala
Yor swords
yor swordger
funny aaaa potato
reeeeee

(Arcadion) I like those odds!~
honestly ||i'm really suspicious of metem after those last two fights, i think he's not as nice as he seems||
||he said he only did the commentary because he believed all the participants were perfectly safe... but he seemed completely fine during M7||
||also the president said he'd spilled the beans after M8 so he's not exactly on our side there||
||insert gif of Hector punching the shit out of Metem||
WHO WANTS TO DO SAVAGE
ahaha. maybe not
but id be happy to replay raids tonight
if only so others would shorten my queue
i'm sure M7 will NOT go HORRIBLY WRONG and involve A LOT OF SCREAMING AND DEATH
-# hot take M7 and M8 should have been swapped
Nah, M8 is the one that I want to see the hidden phase of
i can't recall if M8S is 740 or 745 ILVL
86!
but i am 96 on DRK
oh, 87
stylin'
plays tank
finds the most bikini armor shit possible
strangely i ended up using the Manderville weapon because iit was a tad better than the 660 sword so those tomestones weren't wasted
right then! <@&1128722919405650000> who wants to hang out doing cruiserweeeeight reclears :3
but hc da gear!
is it fun to blast things with my surprssed trauma?
ye
also i was saying fuck no to knowing how to play DRK
bad timing 
eh my readin comprehension took a hit its on me 
Give me 10 minutes
i love being flashbanged by bisexual lighting
wow i have so many options
i can play tank
or i can play tank!
I'm in
i can hear my neighbours outside
having FUN.
sucks to be them, i have my pooter friends
Oh right which DC?
i'm already on Light/Zodiark
with my Zeromus gunblade
which one detail i really like is that it resembles the original Zeromus from FFIV more than the FFXIV iteration
Lemme actually check what my BIS pre-raid gear would be
So I actually try to get good pieces this time
i can't afford sheeeet
I mean from the tokens in the raid
Hmm, I think this week will be one coat, two boots and a ring
I'm not sure if I want to tune up my non-tank jobs for variety or go all in on tank
then again the ILVL 725 gear from the new dungeon is a good stop gap for my non-tank jobs, isn't it? 
i'm not going to need more than ~715 until 7.3
Ok seems like for SMN, the pants are really good, I'll go for those this week
what i think i'll do is after raids i'll dut y support the dungeon once or twice, since I'd be happy with any non-Striking gear
Either for scrips or to use as actual gear
not scrips, Company Seals (i love gambling)
My modus operandi now, will be to try to get every class of a certain gear type to lvl 100. then I will grab all the gear from the previous raid for that class to have a 710 floor and go from there
And find a weapon somewhere, IDK, I will make something up for that
We don't have the relic weapons yet
no matter what the ILVL 740 weapon will take 3 more weeks
The 730 I have for now is more than fine
Buuut you could just do the alliance raid and get the ILVL 730 weapon 
i'm planning on defo upgrading my axe
You can get a 720 one with the previous tomestone and upgrade it with the token from the alliance raid yeah
It's easy enough
actually i wonder if i should do the alliance raid and get the 730 axe/gunblade
Now, if you want a 745 ilvl weapon
ahhh shit, i only have the 700 gunblade 
We could prioritize the recent EX
With the group
Since we are kind of current, doing that would actually drop relevant gear for us
Still ILVL 720
Yeah I'm just saying, we could do it as the 2nd EX we try
We don't have to, but it's a nice weapon
ok i had a duty to finish, hopping to zodiark now
also before we start
ranking raids on vibes:
- M6
- M5
3 M7 - M8
Music:
- M7
- M5
- M6
- M8 (i'm sorry i don't like M8)
how can you do mr el woo woo dirty like this...
also i should say
M5-8 are very good music wise
Easy A tier
i mean if you fucked up the disco song i think people would riot

I have my pants token
YEAH ngl, this seems like a niece piece of gear, gonna meld some more crit on it and it's gonna be a good thing to have for a while
laughs maniacally i did it!!! i crafted a top tier gear from scratch!!! this is so cool!!!!!
Very nice
Victory screech!
i have also made a hat 

||CORN! CORN! CORN! CORN! CORN!||
why does this feel like the perfect day to do Cornservant quests?
weird ass motherfucker (affectionate)
DARUDE?
Here's a very quick dungeon guide through Sastasha, the first dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV.
If you take this seriously, then I don't know what to tell you. Touch grass maybe?

AND my VPR/SMN are at 715
It's Jake from Dog's Life!
new parasol
watching a mentor roulette video and
absolutely dedicated to the bit, huh
speakin of caetsu, that new blm guide eh?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygmgx5Y4RI0 wacky things happening to the aoe rotation. wacky. what do you MEAN "just flare it lmao"
New to Black Mage, or experienced but want to get better? Let me help you with this guide!
I explain all you need to know about the different actions of the new 7.2 Black Mage, level by level, starting from the very beginning, with a summary at level 50, as well as smaller summaries at level 60, 70, 80 and 90, finishing with a level 100 Opener a...
what do you mean its optimal to just not touch aoe fire n blizzard 
black mage scares me
but also can we talk about this. why. why would they emotinally scarr me with yda and papalymo
hello? rood
i miss them tails. i miss them a lot
btw the new glam from treasure dungeons is fire 
oh GOD the pieces go for 1.6 mill.
each.
truly, they knew true furries would be too powerful otherwise
so we had to get hat nerfed 
i mean im just, not into modern glams 
i am the fantasy part of final fantasy 
i gotta blend in
plus it's nice to finally have a modern glam that isn't
you know
waves at online store
a scam?
Cae is my fwend :3
i heard Solution Nine theme in that video and I was like "wait i'm not fucking logged in"
my crafting spree is proceeding apace, tis all comin together 
just need shoes, rings n a bracelet now 
so my ability to actually comply to it aside, i decided to read the full balance guide for monk, and im happy to announce that the monk mentors know how to not have it be a boring 58 page long piece of wet cardboard. it has jokes!
some more hilarities
calling reaper "bluey the dog" now entered my vocabulary for the forseeable future
right, so predictably the last part of the guide devolves into a bunch of math i realistically will never utilize, but what ive gained from this is one) i really need to clean up my opener bc i am not placing my buffs exactly right and id like to be able to, and two) apparently double lunar opener is now better in most fights? rather than solar lunar? if im reading correctly. which is a surprise to me
guess ill try to relearn that
last time i did the book i got the cube and i havent done it out of spite ever since
for reference, the cube is insanely unlikely, and most commonly got when 3 lines is most likely
still mad like 3 years later
my retainer found this
A few nights ago we found 3 more Flexible Leather Bands
They've fallen hard in price from 8m to 3.5-3.8m but damn

tbf yeaaaaaah i would not touch it for three years after that either
absolutely evil
I'm up to 128m 
honestly most guides for ffxiv are pretty good nowdays unless they need to devolve into mathematics for some reason
but yeah, buff allignment is pretty important for overall raid dps, because you want those to overlap everyone elses as much as possible
i didn't know Rekindle was a buff until now...
which i think i deserve some leinaincy on...
she said the thing
(7.0 last dungeon)
Death can have me when it earns me.
Now we come to orange, gotta rhyme something with orange,
Said that nothing rhymes with orange, think that I'll just work without orange
lyrical genius
Yep
I love that quote. Not a GoW fan but that line is so good.
nah, i think mine was better 
Yes
yeah but you can't deny my Valgia edit is fire 
DT Ex 1 Experience: Explosions, fire and explosions after fires
oh and six cleave tankbusters. in a row.
BOI LET ME BE USEFUL
reason 20354 to hate leviathan:
since my ranged and AoE attacks are magic, attacking the tail with those attacks damages me
also goes for Edge of Darkness to have my damage buff up
i fucking hate ARR
"YOOOO RETURN TO OBLIVI-" doesn't get it
"i'm running low on gil, i should fix that" - me like an hour ago
i lied, chipmunk continued to be bored
i have not yet researched how to get rich
i guess once im happy with my gearing i could craft some raid food or materials or more clothes, that´ll probably sell
rn i just kinda sell whatever lands in my inventory that i dont need
the problem is that a lot of it is playing the market, and as a result if people share reliable money makers, it makes them less reliable money makers
my favourite dumbest market is spearfishing gigs, for some fucking reason they're relatively easy to sell at 50k a piece, even though the shop price is 3k, and you get given one, and you only ever need one
nowdays it usually takes a couple of days between each sale, but its still hilarious every time
and the amount of times i've refunded people i know after scamming them with it is like, way to many
yeaaah no playing the market sounds more annoying than fun
i wanna relax in my silli anime game not think about parallels to real life capitalism 
for now money hoarding can wait i have more enjoyable things to do 
not playing markets as in flipping, more "oh, noone is selling this thing, easy money"
though flipping also makes money, i cant be bothered with that shit
back above 10 mil, now i'll stop
740 yay!
but yyyyyy
f for maggie
lmao the healer got a party stack and ran away from us
fucker got one hit 
Hmmm, I'm tempted to run First Walk to finally get the ILVL 730 Axe
sure as shit not getting the ILVL 750 one for like... A MONTH.
plus it doesn't eat into my Tomestones
because I must level ALL THE JOBS
uuuughm to get ILVL 720 I need to run Wicked Thunder 4 times... Each.
it's not a bad fight, i'm just not a fan of doing the same fight like 10 times in a row 
... this is the last time i use RNG to pick my job
for reference, i had WAR, GNB, SMN, VPR, RPR and MCH as options
i'm so 🌈*lucky!*🌈
ah well, i put it on the list, might as well.

GOD DAMMIT I QUEUED INTO ZURVAN
you included it on the list, why
just so i could get that line
tbh i always adored the way he delivered that line
not the best haul (Aiming and Healing gear)
727 WAR and I ended up replacing two 690 pieces
so i can't be too rattled
i still need 3 ILVL for Ex 4, tho.
what the fuck, Lodestone
i'll probably grab raid gear tomorrow Might be able to get some tomestone gear too
i still need to clear ex3 and ex4, i'm suffering in savage atm though
people dont like doing damage
(FTR, I just mean M5-8N. No way in hell I'm touching Savage)
yeah my rotation is kinda baaad at the moment
you've also had like 70% uptime on your gcds in general 
I try to focus on mechanics more
Which is fine for Ex but not for Savage, I presume?
its not really fine for either
enrage is just looser on ex content and other players in the group have high enough dps relatively to cover the slack
Ah...
I'll.. Have to look into WAR rotation.
opens WAR guide
Ex 1 footage
AGH SPOILERS FUCK OFF

HOW IS THIS "BASIC"?
for context of uploaded logs (sorry it took a while to find them) you're parse was lower than the outer bounds, mine was top 20%, though that was obviously effected by cross expac changes+ us doing min ilvl
thats simple enough, pull with ranged attack, use infuriate get your buff with your 123, use inner release
drop all your onslaughts+ fell cleaves+ primal rend combo
outer bounds? 
these bars, i think a day 1 parse would be like 5% but final day it was lower than the minimum (because everyone had good enough gear to outscale)
-# (being facetious because making fun of people is fun)
Bottom 7%? 
N E W 😭
i'm fucking retiring
*jk i know i'm new to high end stuff so my rotations are poo poo
new
nearly been a year since we first took on EW Ex 2
i don't understand any of this, lmao
i'm always happy to explain things if needed
how does one set this up? i am somewhat interested in getting better and to my understanding there is something called fflogs that should tell you purely from rotation standpoint where you make mistakes, yes? but you need to feed it that data, which im guessing comes from this... i call it "that bar web thingy"
"bringi didnt these logs use to make you kinda anxious just by looking at them" yes but great news i had character development and now my curiosity is winning. im ready to let a program bully me
(it might also be two different... webs...mods...extensions or whatchacallit, i am honestly unsure)
remind me tommorow/ in like 2 hours
alas ill be asleep
no rush tho 
(doing savage atm)
finally cleared last pull of the week
that was everyones first clear
noone watches the cutscenes in savage, historically they're identical to normal mode
that could have changed anytime within the last 4 expacs and i'd have no idea
i'll have to reclear m5s wednesday before trying to prog that
"yeah sure i can take a tankbuster as a monk in ||splatoon lala|| its fine its fiiiine"
and you know what, i popped on everythin i could and i lived on 2% 
i love this dungeon
yeah thats about the usual for that dungeon
jealous
You ever encounter someone who is so completely confident in something wrong?
Had someone in Brayflox trying to lecture me that Cure 2 is better than Cure 1 lmai
yeah i've run into someone who thinks cure 1 is usable
At end game, it's not
While levelling, Cure 1 is generally better due to the speed at which it comes out
that's an asterisk
you should'nt ever need to care about how fast it comes out
even early as soon as you have cute ii, cure is redundant
That's not been my experience
can you give an example of when the 0.5 cast speed increase would help?
tbh it can be useful if you have high latency
that is something i haven't experienced so can't speak on
Yeah I've seen it save people
I've NEVER seen cure 2 recommend
Did something change?
cure 1 has never been better than cure 2
but you also wanna avoid cure 2, because it's a gcd heal that could be used to do damage instead
I have never heard this
I learned the exact opposite
like, cure fishing for a free cure 2 has been a meme for as long as i remember
yeah freecure has always been a "noob trap"
Right exactly
Freecure has never been good
(the joke in that scenario being that you are using cure 1 at all)
that's because it's not worth using cure 1
most white mages take cure 1 off their hotbar
(i've had some run into trouble in tam tara deepcroft because of this)
the only kinda benefit you'd get is easier weaving on high latency, but i dont think that's worth the potency loss personally
You guys know I'm talking about in Brayflox right
yes

(im aware you don't have weaves available at that point, i was trying to find a cure usecase in general)
Every single WHM guide and discussion I've been part of has always denounced Cure 2. Cure 1 was also denounced for being an effective waste of a GCD, but still preferred over Cure 2 when other options are not available
at that point what you'd be using is stone, aero, cure2, and maybe medica if shit goes south
Is this not the case? 
it is not
but cure 2 is generally ignored in favor of the lily counter spells and OGCDs
maybe it was true in 1.0
in that case it's 11 years
2.0 came out in either August or September of 2010
Was it?
wikipedia says so
I just looked it up
ffs Google giving me incorrect results
Wow I am just all kinds of wrong today, I apologize <_>
was it the google AI?
that's why we don't trust AI, ever
Yeah
Either way, thank you for informing me about that. Somehow I had it backwards this entire time and man I feel so fucking dumb right now
Time to do some old msq
I don't go that far. What else am I supposed to use when I'm dropped in a sub-30 dungeon by the roulette?
panic put it back
Looks good to me
but yeah, this is my whm bar loading into sastasha, its defo a "i need to move cure into an easier place"
also note that cure ii is also just in the "this is a useless thing but i should probably leave it on my bar anyway area
I admit, I still use cure 2 fairly often, but I don't really do anything harder than an alliance or normal raid, so I was never really challenged enough.
-# meanwhile me using Rekindle on myself exclusively because i think it's an attack and not a buff and reading is hard
fwiw i don't expect any SMN to use Rekindle correctly 
Anyroad.
I do drop in on tank...sometimes...depending how high effort I'm feeling
same
sittu
How do you change the names in party chat to show role/color like that?
Doumo doumo
Wipe pls
proceeds to immediately leave after wiping

enjoy your 30 minute lockout then, biatch.
just want my damn shoes
in the meantime enjoy my GNB glam
Groovy.
also apparently at some point EW EX 2 gained craftable weapons 
i take this game very seriously 
is it me or do PCT and PLD have similar poses
Holy shit is that Futaba Sakura from Persona 5?
kinda sucks i can't get the pants this week
but come Chewsday when reset hits i'll get right on that
really need to plan this raid gear shit better
i'll prolly get a ring and wristband for tanks with the two accessories i have
won't make much of a difference but you know
tank main gotta max out that gear
Wonder how much you could make from crafting current gear
Savage raiders that try to compete seriously for week 1 clears usually reserve crafters ahead of time to make their gear.
The demand is so high and the supply so low that it doesn't even get to the markets, stuff comes pre-ordered
Looking on the market, an axe goes for around 300k
still thinking about getting the ILVL 720 swords for VPR
If you have older sabers from lightweigh you can get the 730 one for a few tomes
these and then upgrade them with the raid token
Wait a sec, these look sick actually, I wonder how the feather dye, I should get these
oh yea i already have those
Ok so channel 1 governs all of it and the red feathers, and channel 2 governs the green ones
iirc i had the 690 swords and i was like "well i have four blades from M4, might as well upgrade VPR"
scissors
Well once I'm done with getting the gear I wanted for my SMN I know what I'm getting next
i like the swords with my glam, has the golden highlights that go well with gloves
i still havent picked up picto. wanna level blm first
91 nice
fuck it, old fashioned way

but dont ya wanna be blue and have trauma?
To be fair, leveling lancer is pretty boring, probably the worse of the melee starting classes as far as fun factor goes until you start getting some jumps
i have no clear idea how dragoons rotation goes aside from their fiveish step main rotation. theres so much ogcds to press at once!

POG FELLOW WAR OF CULTURE
ILVL 733 WAR, 728 GNB and 727 DRK 
(The weapons are what differentiate)
730 axe, 700 gunblade, 690 greatsword, if you were curious
and as much as i'd like them all to be equal, that involves 8 runs of M4 and 2 runs of Jeuno
Omega-M hits you for 0 damage.
You take 616418 damage.
a bit more than my HP
You take 403984 damage.
You suffer the effect of Magic Vulnerability Up.
You take 4593182 damage.
You suffer the effect of Magic Vulnerability Up.
allegedly O12S is soloable
i'm giving up on that prospect
(Dumbass 6.0 Shitpost) ||"TEN YEARS IN THE FIRST MADE YOU A FUCKING PUSSY!"
- Zenos, probably||
This guy always had good taste
(6.0) ||Is it ever explained why you can breathe on the moon/why there's "normal" gravity?||

Yes. Well. The first part is.
