I really wish they'd give private rooms a planter box furniture piece. Limit it to one per room if you want. But I guess that would still destroy whatever market there is for gardening grown items.

Mog is hilarious and owns but can be difficult if your healers aren't on the ball. Ramuh is kinda difficult if you're not on voice comms. Titan is the second hardest fight in the game and is a dream killer.

I wonder if they'll ever decide to make the relic weapon BiS or tied for BiS. As someone who probably intends to get their weapons via raiding and not relic, I would be fine with a tie. Hell, I'd be fine with the full Zodiac weapon being 5 ilvls higher than the best raid weapon. And that makes me wonder how many upgrade steps there'll be after Novus before we're at "Zodiac ______".

Yoshida has said that the next step after Novus will change the appearance dramatically, I would imagine we'll have at least 2-3 stages after that? Though with the point of them being to contantly upgrade I wonder how they can keep it going. The upgrades as of now are pretty ridiculous in terms of time commitment. They're going to need to nerf the lower stages pretty hard at some point if they want new players to bother.

bonewitch posted:Zenith and Animus, and somewhat Novus have all received nerfs through the proliferation of myth and hunts. They're definitely easier, but let's say we eventually get to the point where we're 3 upgrades from where we're at. No one is going to go through Atma RNG, then 9 animus books, then 75 materia melds just to have to do whatever long winded stuff they come up with for the future upgrades. It would be infinitely easier/less time consuming at that point to grab whatever other weapons are ilvl 130 or whatever at that point. Not that I have any fantastic ideas about how to do it, but they've been pretty clear that they want to keep the game easy for new people to pick up and become relevant without too much time and the Relic weapon quest line is a pretty integral part of the game. Not that you need a ilvl110 weapon to be relevant NOW, but it's a whole different ballgame once ilvl starts getting up past 120 and the potential of a level cap increase with 3.0. As far as alma goes, they've gone on record to say it's just flat chance, there's nothing special. My own theory is that carrying more Atma helps the drop rate as 1-5 took much longer on average than 5-12 did, but that's completely anecdotal and has a 99% chance of being false.

Oh sure, they haven't been directly or heavily nerfed, but compare Animus now to Animus back when Hardflox was the main way of getting myth. Hell, even Novus pre-hunts and Novus post-hunts. We'll probably see bigger Animus nerfs/actual Atma nerfs in 2.4 when myth goes away, they'll probably drop the price of Animus books by quite a bit and make them purchasable with Soldiery. Atma will probably be a flat increase to drop rate (as much as I'd like it to be changed to "do x fates in each zone"). Samba De Amigo posted:Throw fire. Lots of it. Quickly. Speaking of BLM, whats the best way to handle Firestarter procs?

You just suck it up and deal with it because an interruption or delay in your casting is a bigger loss of DPS than missing a proc.

Yoshi-P mentioned that after some time passes, they’ll make adjustments on the stages after the Atma parts to make things a little easier, after further observation. Guess I will have to bite the bullet and do my atma eventually if they aren't going to nerf Atma :/

Just keep casting and don't worry about it. Don't interrupt a cast in order to cast Fire 3, and don't delay casting your next spell to see if you get a proc. If Firestarter procs and you're in Umbral Ice, cast Transpose before you cast Fire 3, it's free damage.

I'd love to see Atma go to X number of fates in a zone as well, but a drop rate increase is probably what they'll do. I'd like to see Animus books become a little easier to complete in addition to dropping the cost, it'd be nice if it didn't take over 1 week+ to complete each one. Maybe drop the fates off, or drop it to 1 fate/1 dungeon per book. Maybe that's making it too easy and just wishful thinking since I just started my first book.

If it actually does scale to your level that would be crazy, especially once you get higher rank since you can do up 6 Ixali a day. Combine that with leves and daily Grand Company turn in's and you'll be omni-crafter in no time flat.
