Tataru was the biggest bullshit player of triple triad and made me wish I lost the trial by combat on her behalf because of her stacked deck and lovely rules.

I just hope there's another way to get the cards she has. I'm so close to 30 beaten NPCs and 60 cards.

Have someone cheat at the triple triad tournaments for you and get platinum packs and prey like hell.

I got both my cards from dueling her though. Kill me now.

It's a "general purpose" dye, therefore tradeable despite being a rare dye.

I may have missed it in the notes, but it has been 12 possible beast tribe quests per day out of x per beast tribe. It was not possible to do 12 stage 1 quests in 3.0.

I'm assuming at rank 1, only 3 quests a day will be allowed for them, so it's gonna take some time to get up to rank 2 and start raking in the quest allowances.

Well you can only get one Void Ark piece per week, while they're removing the cap on Alex gear so you can theoretically get the gear much faster assuming you can consistently win rolls against 7 other people because there's no longer any reason not to roll need on everything every time

Well before you would pass on things you don't want since it's one drop per week. But now there isn't a limit so there's no reason to pass on anything ever in duty finder groups unless you're polite enough to pass on things you don't really need (which will not be the case with most of the people you're rolling against)

Do any of the new MSQs have trials? I saw in the preview that Ravana was back.

Also, what happens to Fractal / Neverreap? It's not being added to HLDR, and isn't in the EXDR rotation. RIP those dungeons, I guess.

edit: from the patch notes regarding beast quests:

quote:

Furthermore, players will not be allowed to proceed with a class or job that is different than when they accepted any of these quests.

Not surprising since it's level synced, but using a level 60 class then switching to a level 40ish class to turn in quests was great :v:

Removing AST and PLD would actually do a lot to help the game out because they don't care enough to balance them so they should really remove them as an option as they currently only act as a new player trap.

An issue wherein the description for the astrologian ability Lightspeed mistakenly said it reduces attack magic potency.

If this isn't some hand-waving and it actually was broken for 3 whole months, I'd be inclined think the devs agree with you.

I'd assume the change to how having a party with same/similar jobs means the limit gauge charges slower, not that each job has their own unique version.

Re: Vanu Vanu beast tribe quests.

Well the Ixali leveled the fastest out of all beast tribes and they had 7 ranks form the start, so with being able to accept 12 beast tribes quests in conjunction with them probably leveling faster than the base 4 tribes Vanu Vanu shouldn't take too long.

They changed it so that LB builds slower if you have 3 melee, 3 casters, and anything other than 2 tanks and 2 healers rather than LB building slower if you had multiple people on the same job.

They explicitly want 8 man content to be 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 melee dps, and 2 ranged dps. Personally I think it should be 2 tank, 2 heal, 1 support dps, 3 other dps but my opinion doesn't matter.

Apparently it's from the live reading of the patch notes. Got the reddit topic here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/3s5cmc/the_new_limit_breaks_restrictions_will_be/

(The limit break changes were that it would charge slower if 3+ party members in a premade were of the same role - tank/healer/melee/ranged)
