POLICE CAR AUCTION posted:My wired 360 controller stopped working ingame and it's loving baffling. Restarted the client a couple times, tried disabling/enabling controller support and recalibrating the inputs, no dice. It's strange since the controller works perfectly with all my other games, and has worked fine with ff14 up until now. Any ideas? Maybe the controller is set to PS3 mode instead of ABXY mode in the game options?

HOT CRAFTING TIP - PRECISE TOUCH
|
I do not understand why anyone likes maker's mark. Compared to the "Name of X" line it seems really inferior. With my gear, my rotation, and my food choice the name of+brand of combo will 1-shot 40/35 dura synths without ingenuity 2 which let's me get an extra hasty in. on 70/80 synths it's worth 550~ progress. Maker's mark does not do this. Even if all the maker's mark hits land, I will still have to either careful twice, or ingenuity II+careful which is way more costly from a cp standpoint. Plus, it slows the whole process down by adding 3-5 stupid steps to each gsm synth. I hate it. Not too big a fan of the cul skill either because it falls flat in the same way, but at least it's only 1 action and 6 cp.

Maker's Mark is a lot better if you're not trying to land every possible Flawless it gives you. Use it to help a CZ tick down and fish for good procs to tricks. It adds a lot of time to the synth, yes, but very frequently results in an overall CP gain. There is a very noticeable difference when I use it vs. when I don't, especially on 70 dur synths. I'm not a fan of muscle memory, though. There's nothing it does that I can't do better with maker's, name/brand, and rapid synth.

On a 70 dur synth I'll do MM, CZ, IQ and then hit flawless synth to fish for good procs, using tricks as much as I can until my CP maxes out or the MM buff ends. I can almost always do a second CZ somewhere later in the synth, but I try not to waste an SH2 charge for it. On 35, MM is less useful, but it's still usually a net positive to hit MM, CZ, and then start fishing for goods. Second CZ can happen occasionally, but much more rarely. However, the extra progress from MM almost always takes more difficult crafts down to two CS2s when it would otherwise take 3 (or CS2 + SS). I have mostly stopped doing this for 35 dur crafts as my stats get better, but I'll probably fall back to it when we get harder crafts.

If you remove even one progress action from your rotation by using it, it's well worth it. Of course, it depends on the item you're working on and the stats you have, but you get one attempt at Flawless Synthesis for every 100 durability the item has plus one, which translates to between 30-40% of a synth on average, which is roughly as much as Muscle Memory, but costs zero durability. It is the zero durability thing that really sells it for me. If you can manage to get ten durability for 20 CP, that's a steal. But if the combine/stats don't match up, sure, it's not as worth it. And this is aside the other use of using it to fish for more good procs, though I'm not sure how useful that will be at 60+.

On the level 60 recipes, yes, I've heard this too (haven't observed it but I can see the logic behind it). Up to and through 59, I'm not buying it. Certainly have noticed crafts where I get no goods for 20 steps, but then I get 8 in the next one, so it tends to even out at around what I'd expect. And in other news, I've seen many posts saying that Onyxia Deep Breaths more in patch 3.01. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Jul 20, 2015 |

Or more specifically there have been a couple of niche cases where it does (crafting an aurum regis nugget at level 56 for example). Meanwhile the name+brand combo saves me a step in the vast, vast majority of synths that I do. They aren't even remotely close to parity in either usefulness or not being an annoying pile of crap that adds an extra 10-15 seconds of synth time.

After going through the ARR Storyquest as a WHM, doing Scholar for a bit is weird. I don't know if the fairy is doing anything but seeing as how HP bars are staying up despite me no longer constantly putting up regens and Medica IIs (And doing a lot more DPSing) I guess it's doing something.

It's not even enough to get you to 52. By the time you're 59 that amount of exp won't even be half a level, so it's about one day's worth of LLDR and mark bills. That said, free exp is free exp, so if you're going to buy it anyway you might as well do it as soon as you hit 50.

Just keep an eye open for it, especially since Red Scrips will be out soon and probably a lot of new, harder recipes. In the past there were situations where you could fit 3 CZs for some maximum overdrive.

For those still leveling don't forget about leves. The level 58 large scale battlecraft ones drop about 200k experience when you do it with +1 level of difficulty. I went from 59-60 yesterday with a LLDR, HLDR, trial roulette, daily hunts, and 3 leves. Plus you get a shitton of gold and plenty of items that sell well on the marketboard.

Temple leves are incredibly inefficient in terms of leves:exp ratio. If you're planning on leveling crafters you probably don't want to do them. If you never use your leves though, go wild.

Fun fact that not everybody knows about, you get a huge buff duration increase when you get sucked in. Pop all your cooldowns with 3 seconds left on blight and you can have all those CDs active for the entirety of that phase of the fight. It makes the tank's job a lot easier. But yeah just ask for a party of goons and you'll one shot it.
