I finally understand everything there is to know about axes!
Do you need the quest for the new relic drops, or can anyone get them regardless of where they are in the relic chain?

Meanwhile, on the ~cash shop~ subject: the only one that sticks in my craw a bit is the Legacy event outfits being put up on the shop, rather than being made freely available to those of us who missed them in Legacy (like the yukata and clogs were for Moonfire). Moonfire left me hopeful they'd just rotate everything in for new players, but the way it's looking now, if you miss an event one year, you can get dunked. Don't quite know how I feel about that.

Of course the good news is that nothing I really want is in the paywall and I own the stuff I really wanted (read: Lightning outfit, summer clogs). And on that note, I'll admit that for a few outfits this might be the only solution, as there won't be a good excuse to run the existing crossovers again, so the cash shop really is the only option for keeping those items in circulation.

So yeah, I'm not too keen on the approach being taken to event outfits, but it's just like others said: I simply won't pay up. I have no real need for a reindeer outfit anyway, so whatever, it's not a ton of skin off my bum.

(The marriage tiers doesn't bother me at all, because everything I'd want is available from the free option and I think that's handled well. Besides, I don't plan on getting lala-married any time soon anyway :v: )

What legacy outfits are only available in the shop now? The only things I remember were previous events.

On the other hand, in other games when you miss an event you're just sunk. I'm happy I can pay a couple bucks to get a fun outfit I missed a year earlier.

Specifically: Sweet Dream, Reindeer, Howling Spirit. All three are from the 1.0 version of the game. Snowman and Wailing Spirit, meanwhile, are actually from very early in ARR's patch cycle and were last year's Christmas and Halloween outfits. I don't have those either because I was lazy about events back then :v:

Being a SCH fan and a huge dork for Nym I am also super pumped for more WP. Hopefully we get more info about Nym's fall and how the War of the Magi in Eorzea went down.

WP hard mode: the scholar quest guy convinces you to dress up as a tonberry for some reason. Now, you must fight your way past waves of manic relic farmers in order to escape from Wanderer's Palace.

Every seasonal event item from the 1.0 days was made available the first time the same seasonal event happened in ARR. The Halloween event was the first one to take place in 2.0, so now that we've come full circle I guess they've decided "well everyone's had a chance to get it so it's time to cash shop this shiz".

The items you get from the dungeons go into the key items part of your inventory, they're fully part of the quests.

So I'm a bit late to the relic grind. I'm just starting the atma->animus part. I know that FATEs belong to "sets" in the sense that only one FATE from each set can spawn at a time, or something like that. Does anybody know if anyone has documented this anywhere? As in, if I wanted to do Giant Seps, what FATEs should I clear out to have a better chance of that one spawning?

None, if you don't park your rear end there he's dead less than a minute after he spawns.

I'm just getting to Ramuh ex, i'm a monk, and while knowledge of the fight has disseminated to the point where everyone seems to know the mechanics right out the gate, no one can do the add phase, something i'm having particular trouble with

what happens is;

adds, i go into the water, ramuh starts to cast thunder, i have to stop hitting the add, run out of the water, dodge the people standing on the edge of the island so that i don't zap them and they don't zap me, see if it's actually my responsibility this time to break chaos, and keep my grease lightning stack up, and then we just never get enough DPS in

this seems unnecessarily difficult, there's gotta be a better way!

Yeah that.

Although Nichijou is another good suggestion.

Since you like actiony costume tokusatsu stuff you'd probably like Tiger and Bunny.

Ramuh just really, really sucks for melee. It was even worse for DRG pre-buff because a thunder with like 2 orbs up oneshot them.
