 Yeeeah I'm number 1! Holding it down for PBC on the Verminion front. Of course, there is a 100% chance I'm not #1 by morning when the tournament ends, but let it be known, when it counted (right now, at the time of this post), we were #1.

And here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPmeKA5-03M Well there's certainly a lot to digest here. The deep dungeon is what they're doing with Gelmorra? Cool. AND gently caress THAT'S EDDA ISN'T IT And also the MSQ looks aces. We fight Velgr at the end of Sohr Khai? Just what the hell is in there? Is Velgr keeping some other secret from everyone? also shapeshifting ozma jesus yes give it to me Basically it looks like a lot of the patch budget went into this patch specifically. I am now Fully Hype for it and can't wait.

While on the subject of Verminion, does anyone have any advice for Challenge #12, the one with the big Demon Brick? Once it destroys my gates, I can't keep up. It may just be that I don't have good enough minions. I only have a bunch of quest and purchasable minions, and some of the veteran reward ones. I try spamming poppets, including minions of light, Wind-up Neros and mammets, but they're slow and I eventually end up holed up by my final crystal and I run out of time before I can kill the brick. The lowest I've gotten it is maybe 30%. At this point, I throw myself at it three times a week for my 10k MGP and then leave it.

If that character at the end of the video is Niddhogg's Shade, I think some fuckery or influence from bahamut going on because wow. e: Someone mentioned they saw some dyed Final Coil armour in the trailer

Assuming I didn't miss anything for people who get gated by the IT department at work: * MSQ * Palace of the Dead Deep Dungeon Thing * Hullbreaker Hard 4-man * Sohr Kai 4-man * The Aquapolis is maybe the timeworn maps thing? * Fields of Glory (Shatter) PVP * Final Steps of Faith 8-man * VA2/Weeping City of Mhach, RIP PS3. I don't know how they can keep doing poo poo like this on console, long loading times or otherwise. * Manderville Quests * Moogle Beast Tribe Quests * Flowerpots * New clothes * THE POMPADOUR HAS PHYSICS

When in doubt, the solution to every verminion problem is either wind up odin or gentleman. They both have max speed and huge amounts of atk/def, with decent hp. Doing this I've never failed a verminion challenge before.

Also there is indeed a (slightly awkward) transmog system, but it doesn't unlock until level 50 of all things. I do wish they unlocked it earlier. OTOH you'll blow through gear so fast that if you dislike your look now, just wait a bit and it'll change.

It is there, and we complained a lot about it not existing in 2.0 and 2.1, which is why it got added.  The main problems are that it takes a reagent per "glamour", and you also must own the item in question to use its appearance - the item isn't consumed, but if you want to use your starting chestpiece as your chestpiece at level 60, you have to keep it somewhere, either on a retainer or in your inventory proper. Given how many items there are in the game, this is already proving onerous.Also.  important information for everbody: the Gold Saucer event is live, and not only is the quest cool, but the extra MGP applies to all sources earned in the Saucer. All sources. Including the Challenge Log entries.Needless to say this makes some of the challenge logs comically lucrative to do compared to the effort required, and they refresh SpaceDrake fucked around with this message at 13:16 on May 27, 2016 |

DGKK has awesome folks who keep the company chest stocked with prisms, so if you are in there then the reagent requirement is mitigated. Can't speak towards the other Excalibur FCs. But yeah, we need a proper wardrobe or expansion of the armoire, stat. Gear quantity bloat is getting a bit much, and I'm someone who got extra retainers and have a lot more room to store things.

TPT's company chest is like 40% glamour prisms. Your note about the extra retainers makes me feel like it's not an issue SE would change, though, because you need to give them money to have extra space, so eliminating it for a kind of glamour catalog like other games have would dis-incentivize paying for extra retainers.

I would agree but they have honestly been really good in general about implementing quality of life improvements. I bought the retainers to get the whole venture class set filled out anyway, that need will never go away.

Aquapolis is the loot dimension that sometimes spawns from Dragonskin maps. Palace of the Dead is the endless dungeon. Hullbreaker HM and Fantasy Dragon Place Name are the (only) expert dungeons.

Palace of the dead is the new endless dungeon that's coming in 3.35. It's set in the ruins under the black shroud, a little like Tam-Tara or Toto-Rak.

Just in case you thought the official forums forgot:quote:HOW did we go from having a female looking miqo'te booty that was rounded and well formed in 1.0 to looking like you are some mid teenage girl with no hips at all in 2.0? I mean come on I am female, and I am disappointed in the form of the Miqo'te booty.

Aquapolis is a % chance spawn from doing Dragonskin Maps and it's balanced for 4 people. POTD is an 'endless dungeon' that scales from 1-4 people. It's going to be available from a lower level than 50 or 60 and the way stats work in the POTD instance will be different to 'normal' dungeons. It's coming in 3.35 so there's not been as much info on it.
