The Xbox beta client is now available to download. It's about 80 gigs.

Trip report: seems to run at locked 60fps at 1080p, reasonably well at 1440p (Limsa main square drops frames, otherwise seems fine), choppy as hell all over the place at 4k (which is perplexing given how simple the graphics are but I guess that's consoles for you).

Note that you not only need a new Square account but also a new Microsoft account (since you don't want to link your main Xbox account to the trial one).

You'll need 230,000 MGP for everything in the Event:
  • Car: 200,000
  • Hairstyle: 20,000
  • Triple Triad Card: 10,000

Time to start spending Genesis Mogtomes on MGP Platinum Cards! You'll need 5 of them, so that means you need to farm up 150 Mogtomes.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
There's also the Fashion Report for 60k, challenge log(i.e. go punch Gilgamash about 5-6 times) for some freebies, and beating up that poor Greenthumb gal in the Triple Triad battle hall 10 times. And Verminion, which I don't understand because it's part of the ten billion optional things to do I haven't gotten to yet.

Nobody wants to die except the suicides. They're no fun.
verminion is a quick ~100,000mgp per week. sign up for tournament, play 5 master tournament matches, you get the 27000mgp for challenge log and roughly 70-90k from the tournament reward

if you've done hildi and some of kojin tribe it's super simple, before the start queue 4 wind-up kojin. when the match starts send them at the left or right enemy crystal, then queue up 4 more and send them at the other crystal when they're made. queue 4 wind-up gentlemen and send them at the middle crystal. when a crystal explodes send the kojin to the middle crystal. in roughly 2 minutes total you win

95% of the time this is all you need to do. like 5% of the time the AI gets tricky and you have to improvise at which point you kinda need to figure out a bit more how to play

also if instead of the minimum 5 for the challenge log, you play more and win 10 times, do that 4x and you get a penguin minion

What is the best use for Ventures now, just Quick Explorations? Currently still level 80, as are my retainers. I have a ton of ventures but have been lazy about using them since I resubbed.

Just QE for me since I log in a few times during the day and I just have SMN retainers to save effort. Honestly, the best items I got were slightly outdated glams and every few months black/white dyes.

FWIW: I trade all the GC for ventures and I have 9k of them but nothing else I can buy from there.

Awesome!

I forget, is there any particular level point where retainers can start bringing in dyes/rare glams, or are they always able to even from 1?

It's just RNG but I updated their gear with my old stuff so maybe? I didn't notice an increase in the chance for better items tho.

Dyes come from Venture Coffers, which are only available to max level retainers.

The gear and other available returns seem to be based on level, with higher ilvl being more likely to return multiples of crafting stuff, or HQ equipment or crafting items if available. Gear doesn't influence the actual returns other than HQ/multiples, and can't change how many coffers you get.

I was thinking of buying a couple more retainers (just have the two free ones now). I assume the best way to do this is to get the Companion App upgrade for the first extra since it also comes with more Chocobo inventory?

Might take a while, I'm a slow gamer and the only reason I decided to haul rear end through this weekend is because the weekly mogpendium challenge was from Eden stages I haven't unlocked yet (which I guess they can do?). I was totally blown away by 5.3 though, and also, would like to extend a formal apology to Emet-Selch for my previous posts

5.3 is the patch that made ES go from "bastard" to "magnificent bastard"

If I understand the app correctly, you don't get an additional retainer. It lets you buy an additional (9 instead of 8).

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

It took me a long time to come around on 5.3 because my initial read of it was you get to be the hero in all of this stuff because you're a Special Boy Reincarnation and that doesn't sit well with me. It was only recently that I realized the context is that whatever Emet-Selch's feelings about your aura and previous soul-owner implications, you got the crystal because he was bestowing the role to YOU. We were doing the job anyway, so we get the title to go along with it.

The companion app sub includes an additional retainer.

imo that and the extra saddlebag are 100% worth it if you're wanting an extra retainer to begin with.

Alder

I have the free saddlebag and I realize it's where I just leave all my old raid tokens that I clear out once a year now.

Although the glamour dresser is far from perfect it let me clear out my inv and retainers which is always nice except I have only <100 open slots now :shobon:

It's not that I wear all my old glams ...I just like the idea I could if I really wanted to and that's enough.

And some of them were already such a pain in the rear end to get once, why do it again if you later finally think up something you could use it in

Each extra retainer is $2.00 per month.

The Companion App upgrade is $5.00 per month, for one extra retainer and extra chocobo saddlebag storage. Plus the Companion 2 Framer Kit is unlocked as well.
