Working on building a holy/phys team, and a mage team. Any advice would be appreciated. Currently here's what I'm running (I've been doing some swapping because I really need more MC2s and I don't wanna waste xp while I still have tons to level  ).Agrias (BSB/OSB) Protectga/Lifesiphon r2 Orlandeau (OSB) Drain Strike/Lifesiphon Vanille (BSB) Shellga/Curaga Ramza (Shout) Magic Breakdown/Power Breakdown Tyro (Wall/USB) Full Break/??? (usually whatever spellblade strike boss is weak to) Ideally I'd like to swap out Tyro for more damage. I have Basch and his BSB, but I've heard he's not that good? I also have Firion and his OSB, but that's about it for holy/phys dudes. Also, would Eiko be a better healer (I have Vanille, Eiko, and Y'shtolla all with BSB)? For my mage team I have these so far: Cid Raines (BSB/SSB) Wrath/Memento Mori Alphinaud (BSB) Ruinga/*ga (3* elemental) Golbez (BSB) ???/??? Vanille (BSB) Shellga/Curaga Tyro (Wall/USB) Protectga/Full Break I think that looks ok, but it seems like most mage teams seem to run someone to provide more team buffs than I have. Also, same healer question here-who should I go with out of Vanille, Eiko, and Y'shtolla? I tried to pull for the OK bsb, but had no luck. I'd really like to add in the breakdowns too, but not sure who would fit in here. My other mages would be Terra (BSB/OSB), Reynn BSB, Penelo BSB, and Ashe (OSB). Also any advice for skills I should work towards for these guys?

UHD posted:I dunno, Gaius van Baelsar pretty well qualifies for FF XIV. Even if he's dead. Or at least MMO dead. The Ascians or the Emperor are more of a main villain. Gaius was just someone being used by them who also happened to be a massive rear end in a top hat. Really though any of the generals, several Ascians, or the grand company leaders, would all work as playable characters as would Hildibrand. I'd be down with having them add characters like Raubahn, Nero, Estinien, Godbert and Gosetsu for us to use.

Gaius has a much better claim to being the main antagonist of FF14 than Y'Shtola does for being the main protagonist.

Yeah, the protagonists of FF14 are, you know, the player-created characters They should do an FF14 character that lets you customize them like OK

Egg hunt has started, the first batch had a couple clever/tricky ones.

One is obvious from the announcement, two are findable with some looking, one is hidden well but possible, and one is just downright sadistic. For the cheaters: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/65mukc/egg_hunt/

I found two on my own and saw another one but I thought it wasn't an egg, since nothing happened when I tapped on it, and I had to just tap wildly around it until it worked. I would never have gotten the other two without cheating. Good grief!

Eggs aren't too hard once you get a sense of what kinds of places you're likely to see them. I know one screen I bet they're gonna hide one on in the next batches.

Gonna be shocked if they don't hide one inside the Nightmare dungeon center crystal. Only one of them so far was really hard to find, though I think another would have been hard except a blank screen with just the egg showing loaded up for a split second before the rest of the screen did.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Gonna be shocked if they don't hide one inside the Nightmare dungeon center crystal. They seem to not be hiding them in places where tapping will make something happen, plus it seems like they're putting them in places where even players who just installed the app could find them.

I decided to go all in for Ahriman kill and shoved my eggs down OK's throat. Though more than eggs the MC3 was the risk as they seem super rare. Luckily the OK bank pays heavy dividends. 99 synergy boosted OK was the difference maker but the guy still wasn't a pushover taking a dozen tries with ability and RW trials. Where the hell do I get 3* motes? I can't even use these rewarded 4*

You can get 3* motes from the multiplayer fights which you should probably be doing if you haven't. You can also get them from Ultimates in events and from fat chocobo for 200 greens per mote.

Specifically, you can get them from the Hard and Ultimate+ Raid Dungeons. The Normal gets you some Major eggs, and the Apocalypse gives you 4* motes.

I didn't even notice when we started getting them in the + battles. I only noticed because I was running low on 3* Wisdom motes after diving people after Anniversary pulls so I actually started paying attention to them. Meanwhile I'm still at like 1000 3* Dex motes.

pichupal posted:Meanwhile I'm still at like 1000 3* Dex motes. Dexterity Motes are borderline useless at 3* and the second most used type at 4*. Naturally, as of such, we get boatloads of the 3*s every event, but only get 4* motes once every two months or so. What's the most used at 4*? Vitality, which we haven't gotten in about four months aside from the Nemesis dungeons.

Yeah, I've fully 3* dived basically every character that I use with any real regularity, and the only motes I ever even come close to running out of are vitality, just because everything uses it. I've got almost a thousand of everything else just sitting around in case I pull a good relic that drags someone into my B or C team. edit: Definitely feeling the pinch on 4* vit, yeah. I'd love to fully dive Rikku since I use her all the time, but lol at spending 75 4* vitality motes on the Berserker sphere alone.

Hopefully we'll have a few events that give out the motes now, since most of the ones we missed were in collabs, and there's no more of those for a while.

Don't 4* motes start being rewarded a lot more frequently once legend material come out?

Boogaloo Shrimp posted:Don't 4* motes start being rewarded a lot more frequently once legend material come out? Both 3 and 4 star, yes. There still aren't enough 4 star motes that you can dive everyone you want to without having to plan things out (example: I wanted to LD Lightning because I pulled her USB, but that required me to fully RD her and I actually ran out of 4 star Wisdom Motes on her Spellblade sphere because I'd been Diving my mages pretty indiscriminately). 3 star motes are spendable without much worry, though; I 3 star dive basically any character I ever intend to use and I still have 1500-2000+ of each mote type.

Plowed through MP Hein without too much fanfare (I'd honestly say prioritize Earth resistance, Ultimate Quake hurts). Garuda was a pain and a half though. Even with my amped up Wind team I had to RW Wall for it. Bring Gravity resistance so you don't run into the back-to-back Lightning like I did and have everyone suffer 40% unmitigatable damage.

I'd prioritize Sleep or Confuse resist myself for Heineken; just because he has AoE confuse as his counter doesn't mean he can't use it whenever he wants, too. That was a bit of a scramble when two of our healers got confused right after a Y'shtola dropped Asylum.
