Anyone else really like the Gnath/Vath, if only that they are the only beastman tribe without an obnoxious vocal tic?

On the other hand, I can only guess the guy who was in charge of writting those tics must have been out sick when they translated them, which led to him overcompensating on the Vanu Vanu :cripes:

I too really like the Vath, can't wait for their beast tribe quests. I bet the Vanu Vanu give you a sanuwa mount, we've already seen it in the benchmark, but I don't know what the Vath would give you. Maybe another palanquin? A myacid? A goat?

Im only 25 and it didnt seem spoilery to me. There really isnt much context to it, its a very specific scene. And its also god drat hilarious and makes me want to keep playing.

It's not spoilery in that it doesn't give away the big plot twist of the entire Hildibrand questchain, but it's much funnier if you don't see it coming.

Also go do the Hildibrand quests right now you loving scrub.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing with collectables? I mean, I understand the concept and what not, but I can't reliably collect them.

Right now, I'm level 56 in BOT/MIN, but I can't even get level 52 collectables reliably. I'm currenly in all level 55 NQ gear, so I have 458 Gathering, 457 Perception, and 565 GP.

My rotation had been Toil > Discerning Eye > Methodical Appraisal > Methodical Appraisal > Collect

This works on level 50 items, but nothing beyond that. What should I be doing? Do I just need better gear? A better rotation? If I'm expected to have HQ melded gear, I'm just going to leve my way to 60 and worry about collectables at a later time.

Don't use Toil, it's a complete waste of GP. Single Mind does the exact same thing for collectables for only 200 GP.

Anyway, get 600 GP and then do Reveal -> Single Mind -> Discerning Eye -> Methodical -> Discerning Eye -> Methodical x2 -> Collect x3

If you can't hit the minimum collectability, get more perception. It shouldn't be an issue with up-to-date unmelded HQ gear and food.

e: I guess you need 57 for Single Mind, so until then just use Discerning Eye on each appraisal and collect twice.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that would require 700 GP.

Some of the facial work in Heavensward was wrought from all of the experimentation into Hildebrand's expressions. It's one part why it's quite enjoyable :allears:

Not spoilery in the slightest. You might have forgotten Godbert there from when you oiled him at Camp Bronze Lake though.

Also get used to him Limit Breaking. He doesn't need a party to do so either.

No, it makes the next appraisal not cost a gathering attempt. You reveal the item manually. Come on, this isn't rocket science.

I know basically nothing about high level gathering. I leveled mining/botany to 50 before and then never did anything with it. I didn't know there was any way to reveal them other than Toil.

bonewitch posted:

You want to replace one of those Snap Punches with a Demolish and re-up it when its at less than 5 seconds or so. Do the same with Touch of Death. At 50 you get Dragon Kick which replaces one of your Bootshines, and your full rotation becomes essentially DK->TS->Demo->BS->TS->SP (you'll need to change up the timing of demo as the fight progresses or else you'll end up clipping it too much)

To clarify, in that rotation the first TS is Twin Snakes and the other is True Strike.

You're going to alternate twin snakes and true strike like you do dragon kick and bootshine, assuming you don't have to miss GCDs due to mechanics.

Still messing around with openers, but being able to form shift so that you can get in a free demolish (and dragon kick) before you pop perfect balance is handy if your connection likes to act spotty.

bonewitch posted:

Assuming you have enough TP, Fracture is a dps increase on MNK

With the amount of skill speed we're getting, keeping Fracture up more often without having DK/TS/Demo/ToD fall off is getting better. Using Fracture more will burn our TP faster but DRG still burns out faster than MNK does and if you have a NIN in the party a little Goad goes a long way. Burning through A1 I start getting low on TP (with Invigorate on CD) right around when the Oppressor launches in to the air and at that point you're not going to be running out of TP because of those breaks in the action.

Rei_ posted:

Apparently people were getting sub-2m kills on Manipulator by being able to target the body from the jump without touching the legs, which I'm assuming was the exploit in question

Emergency downtimes are for things like "we just found X issue (and players might know about it) and doing X lets you dupe items/rob other players/enable open world pvp/etc."

Taking down the server for "this dumb faceroll fight can be done faster via a bug" is a big issue but not emergency shutdown big. Those tend to be for game-critical issues like duping.

This is the most reliable rotation, though it does assume you get a little over 100 collectability per (unbuffed) appraisal and that you have 600 GP. I've done a lot of different things when under 600 GP.

I'm not too far from 600. I'm using all level 48ish accessories that could use an upgrade. So I'll just craft some HQ new ones and then I could just shove some GP materia in them if needed.
