Well both Esoterics and Alex normal have weekly limits, so you can be doing both for multiple jobs. Edit: Also just going to post it in the thread in case people missed it in notes: There's an NPC named Goodly Adventurer next to the Idleshire Aeytheryte who ports you to Hinterlands.

New Frontline map is crazy. Lots of changing battle sites, and the 72 man doesn't feel as dumb as slaughter was. If nothing else, it's as good for capping quickly as it ever was. [5:38]You obtain 50 Allagan tomestones of law. [5:38]You obtain 20 Allagan tomestones of esoterics. [5:38]You obtain 50 Allagan tomestones of law. [5:38]You obtain 20 Allagan tomestones of esoterics.

So Esoteric weapons are just straight up Esoterics only, no Goblin Tomestone attached. However the upgrade item for weapons is it's own thing now, and going by the fact buying from the vendor takes Page 4, probably drops in A4 Savage.

Just about everything end game drops some amount of esoterics. The EXDR dungeons themselves drop 40, so it's 6 EXDRs to hit 450 esoterics a week. god drat law drops like manna from the heavens now. I actually feel incentivized to finish leveling some poo poo to 60 so I can dump excess law into it. Good timing for a patch, since my interest was juuust waning and I was ready to wait for 3.1

Pierson posted:I've never done PVP in this game but I may now because savage alex isn't really a thing for me. Is it hard to start doing? I.E. do I need to craft/buy some PVP gear like in WoW, or can I just wade right in using my PVE gear? For frontlines, you can wade in wearing whatever and everything is ilvl synced. For wolves den, which is bad and nobody does, you need pvp gear, but nobody does it. The advantage to PvP gear in frontlines is that none of it has accuracy, as spells can't miss in PvP.

Coerthas FATEs seem to be about ~800k xp an hour...? I'm level 58, though, so that figure is higher if anyone's doing them in hinterlands/mists/asyz lla, probably.

Poultron posted:Can someone explain the new Fishing abilities to me? They're nearly inexplicable. Is there a difference between Precision and Powerful hooksets? Roughly, patience 1 and 2 radically boost hq chance while lowering the chance to pull fish in I think. While using patience you can use either precision or powerful hooksets and they will somewhat ameliorate the catching debuff. According to nerds elsewhere, you want to use precision when the controller vibrates once and powerful when it vibrates twice, which is useless advice to me as a keyboard user so I've just been assuming that the light and medium tugs are precision and the big tugs are powerful. I have no loving idea what snagging does other than make some fish available (for example, you need it to get pieces of blue cloud coral in sea of clouds) and you also turn it on to catch maps. Haven't done it myself yet but according to  the internet you use it next to bodies of water to locate hidden fishing locations or some such.

I just grabbed a copy of A Realm Reborn/Heavensward on disc. Its all setup and is (slowly) dowloading a 13GB patch through the launcher. My concern is the patch is dated 27/5/2014. How many more of these things am I going to have to download on my lovely Australian net connection before I can play?

Thundarr posted:Patience, when properly used along with the two Hookset skills, makes catching mooch / double mooch fish much less of a hassle. As long as that mechanic continues to exist it is the Best Skill. I use Chum when I'm trying to catch a lot of fish and don't care about quality, like Hundred Fins or Blue Cloud Coral.

Also DRG buffs on the positional finisher!!  I love the new drg rotation, trying to sneak as many Geirskogul in as possible without letting blood of the dragon drop is a metagame in itself, trying to get that 1,2,3 out the door with 10 seconds on the clock while dodging AOEs without losing potency makes you feel like a dps superstar. Looking forward to Spikyarmor 2.0

To anyone that wants the physical ce with the statutes and books and whatnot, Amazon has both the ps3 and ps4 versions back in stock as brand new. I'm tempted, but I already have the non-ce version for the only system I can use and can't justify basically spending that much on the statute alone

So if I Only did EXDR, it would take 6 days to cap esoterics? What if I threw in frontlines and trials? Or even just extra EXDR runs?

abraham linksys posted:So, if you're not doing Savage, is the Esoterics gear kind of the last grind until 3.1? Like, Esoterics gear is all better than the story Alexander gear, so the only reason to run Alexander at this point is if you like the way that set looks, I guess? This is all confusing. Basically, yes. In fact upgraded Esoterics gear is probably going to be the best gear available until 3.2, as in the content model to date, odd-numbered patches have been "catch-up" patches. You're limited in how much Esoterics you get a week, though, so Alex normal will help fill that in. I didn't anticipate Esoterics being that much more powerful than Alex normal, though. That is one gently caress of a power spike we're seeing at 60 at this point.  Farg posted:So if I Only did EXDR, it would take 6 days to cap esoterics? What if I threw in frontlines and trials? Or even just extra EXDR runs? Actual clears of Fractal/Reap will provide Esoterics too, so it's more like four days. If you do EXDR and Trial consistently, which takes less than an hour, capping should not be remotely an issue. SpaceDrake fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jul 21, 2015 |
