It's actually surprisingly classy and effort-filled on their part. It was fun, I fully enjoyed watching two cat people get married. I also fulled enjoyed my male prostitute garb being front and center in the cut scenes. I highly recommend everyone take part in at least one wedding, either watching or getting gay potato people married, whatever. No judgement, all love.

I got invited to a potato wedding but it was on Christmas and I don't know if I can live with myself if I spent Christmas attending a virtual wedding.

Yeah, this is a safe bet given their current patch cycle, with 3.0 probably around June-July.

If I'm just looking for something to burn ventures on and sell incidental value stuff to get money, does it matter which professions I choose for my retainer? I'm interested in getting the Fat Cat minion but I hear it's hella expensive to get gear good enough to send retainers out in.

Sometimes I can see where people asking for in-game parses are coming from. (This comes from a run of Sastasha HM I was in. The duration's a bit out of whack since I didn't start ACT until just after Karlabos. Everyone was in i100+. In total the run took 35 minutes.)

welllllllllll I tried the game for the month that comes with registration and I got like 4 days left and I hit level 46, and I'm not happy with the grind at these higher levels but it's ok because they even it out with good amounts of content in the main story and whatnot.


Oh cool there's a magitek armor plotline this is kinda weird but whatever, oh the sands are set up neat. Wait I have to be what level to continue the storyline?

Well that was a good month, I think that's my only subscription I'm getting so :toot: I'm out!

While we're on the subject, actually, what is decent DPS for a SCH, assuming party members aren't taking a ton of avoidable damage? I can push out 200-220 on a good day, but I still feel I could get out more than that.

Is it still profitable to run Praetorium for tomes, or is there now something that everybody wants to do instead?

Depends on your ilvl. I'm at 117, with a 125 weapon, and I can do up to 300-325 DPS on bosses depending on the 4-man and group comp.

Well odds are moderately good you'll be able to get Encrypted Allagan Tomestones in World of Darkness, so you might be able to get an iPad eventually. Or we might have a breakthrough and get into Final Coil. Either way.

The Preatorium is the second worst way to get tomes these days. Unlock and complete all the dungeons to get High Level Duty Roulette, then do the three newest dungeons (Sastasha HM, Sunken Temple of Qarn HM, and Snowcloak) to unlock Expert Duty Roulette. Do that every day for 70 Poetic and 20~30 Poetics (EXDR and HLDR respectively). Also, trials roulette, that nets you 14~17 a day also. That will give you more than enough to cap if you play for ~7 hours a week., and you'll get a lot just unlocking what must only be like 25 dungeons.

Anyway I say to get EXDR last because it requires going through all of the post 2.0 storyline to get to and it has an iLevel requirement of like 80 so you may wanna get geared out before it anyway, if you decide to beeline for it.

Thank you Clitoris, I've been wondering the same thing on the best way to farm Poetics.

How worth it is it to put in the farming hours to get to the end of Zodiac?

That depends on you and what you deem worth spending your time on. You can get an i110 weapon fairly quickly now with Sol, and getting your Relic up to 110 is going to take a while, not to mention the 2 steps after that. If you play a lot it might not take you literally forever, but it's still a giant time investment.
