The bogatyr caster eyepatch is i100 and drops in the expert roulette, and also looks dope.

It'd be cool if the /visor command made the eyepatches switch eyes.

Okay, good to know. I really want to give it another shot with the expansion dropping. I might just roll a new toon since I basically don't remember anything at all though. Are there any active goons at low levels?

There's a new goon free company (aka guild) called Third Party Tools that was made since the previous two are pretty full. There should be old and new goon alike there that sign up for the expansion. Plus there's three new jobs in the expansion that start at lv30 and they'll be doing low level content to level up, or even people leveling other classes up. There'll be plenty of opportunities to play with other goons while getting to expansion content.

And the English translation can lead to all the same conclusions. One just has to actually have the ability to infer things from context! :v:

I never said that it couldn't! :v:

I am not really equipped to comment on the localized version of the scene, but I have seen quite a few people scratching their heads over it. Which would suggest (to me, at least) that either it requires a higher level of inference, or the less-is-more approach to dragonspeak could use some work.

Can someone with more free time than I have right now prepare A Min-Maxer's Guide To Pre-Thursday Challenge Log Preparation?

Unless you're trying to save challenge log for a higher level closer to Monday night, this should work for you:

Combat:
- Run 2 dungeons via Duty Roulette (commend 2 people)
- Run 2 more dungeons via direct queuing (commend 2 people)
- Run 9 guildhests (commend no one, sorry sprouts)
- Do 9 fates in 4 zones and get A on all of them (Make sure one of the starting zones is left out of the 4)
- Complete 19 Leve quests using only 4 different levequest types
- Complete a 20th levequest of a 5th type, but do not turn it in

Now when HW is live you do:
- 1 dungeon via duty roulette (commend a person) [ Completes 3 challenge log entries ]
- 1 guildhest [ Completes 1 challenge log entry ]
- 1 fate in a starter zone and get A [ Completes 2 challenge log entries ]
- Turn in your saved levequest [ Completes 2 challenge log entries ]

That alone is something like 105 or 115% of a level in experience. How you min max it by finishing them at different levels or anticipating running dungeons is up to you.

I'm with this guy.

Since we're talking story... Back when you're still running stuff for the Adventurers Guild, you run into a NPC party that is bitching out their healer for letting what I think was the tank die. At the time my FC said I would see them make a return later in the story but I've finished the MSQ and can't remember if they did or not.

Do they actually show back up and I just totally missed it? Seems like a minor thing but it stuck with me for whatever reason.

I played back at 2.0 launch but ended up on Faerie because of all the massive queuing. I'm looking to come back and play some more. I'm currently level 35. Is it worth rerolling on excalibur to come play with you guys?

There are several goons on Faerie, but we're all spread out in different FCs. If you want to be in a huge FC with goons on at all hours of the day, you're only going to get that on Excalibur. However, come Friday even Faerie is likely to have queues (albeit smaller / less often), so it's something to consider if queues were an issue for you before. I'd be happy to help you as long as you're on Faerie, but I won't be on much until Friday.

There's not much to know before level 30. It's MMO training wheels for people who have never played an MMO before, so you should be able to jump right in at 35 with minimal difficulty.

I'd still recommend making a new character on Excalibur as soon as possible just to keep your options open. After early access starts, it's going to be extremely difficult to transfer or roll a new character there, but if you have a character made already then that won't be an issue.

Buster Sword for DRK, Vincent's Death Penalty for MST (assuming the name doesn't get used elsewhere), Premium Heart for MMNK, Princess Guard for WHM, Venus Gospel for DRG? Maybe a pop-up Cait Sith book for SMN/SCH.

Seriously though, I learned that I need to do better with my cooldowns. For what it is worth I did try to use then before Sanngetall. Then again I was a WAR so maybe a PLD would have a slightly easier time of it.
