The entire WAR quest this time was a happy bit of Hildibrand-y hijinks. Here's hoping actual Hildibrand is better this time around.

Do CUL entirely through collectables, to save leves for other crafts. It's the only craft where doing so is truly cost effective so you might as well.

CUL is cheap.

For 60-70 both CRP ad GSM have some pretty cheap options in the

Mudhorn fishing rod/larch accessories

and

the jewlery that only takeskopranickel ingots and bars

Respectively, if you want to save leves

I'm actually kind of impressed that the Shisui striking set is basically a fetish cheerleader outfit and is still somehow the least visually interesting gear from that dungeon. Also the wristbands (the arms are literally just wristbands) still block visibility of rings which is... strange.

is there a consensus on the proper war rotation? also, levelling crafters

The most important thing about War rotations IMO is properly making the most out of Infuriate's passive CD reduction.

So, for example, in the Inner Release, Berserk window, I do this.

Heavy Swing prep, Release+Berserk,
Cleave, Upheaval, Infuriate,
Cleave, Maim, Storm's Path
Cleave x4

This is assuming Infuriate is off CD when you start. But doing it this way means you're losing out on one CD reduction because the first Cleave won't be reducing Infuriate's CD.

So what this really means is that as long as Infuriate is at 35 seconds or less before you start your Inner Release/Berserk moment, you can stand to gain the extra 5 second CD reduction. I have no idea how this really plays out on a dummy, but in my experience in Susano, this means you can essentially Infuriate on CD and still have it ready for 6x Cleave phases and get the full 6x reduction on Infuriate.

The one other thing is that Upheaval is insane in Defiance because it's kind of broken right now. It benefits from the health bonus of Defiance, ignores the damage penalty of Defiance, gains an additional 20% damage out of nowhere while in Defiance AND gets boosted by Unchained for no reason allowing you to get like 16k crits (with Thrill) off of a move that only has 300 listed potency.

Absolutely none. They can and have split skills between the two classes (see: summon 1 and 2), they just don't want to because they're dumb.

The actual raid tiers don't have that token system and even guarantee you loot after 4-8 kills, fwiw.

Try this-

Go to: My documents > My games > FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
Open the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file with something like Notepad.
Change the number next to B4EulaAgreement from 0 to 1. (Note: CAREFUL there is another line there that is "EulaAgreement" -- you need the "B4EulaAgreement" one!)
Save.
Restart the client.

I have to believe this is sarcastic because no one could possibly hold any part of this opinion genuinely.

Unless the new bard quests are good, haven't done SB's yet. So far all the SB class quests are good, so it must be possible.

HW are the strongest of them. But I guess if you somehow don't like Guydelot, Sanson, and moogles then I can see those falling flat. The SB quests were interesting to me lore-wise (I haven't read the lorebook fwiw) and gave me more time with my boys Guydelot and Sanson, the main things I enjoyed in HW.

The most important differences between the factions is fashion, and really only the Adders suck there. Flames get a badass helmet and the storm gets a bunch of neat coats.

So if FFXIV is the first and only real FF game I've played (did a little of XV), is it a good gateway drug to trying something like the XII release this week? I used to say "I don't like JRPGs" but I'm starting to think I just wasn't playing good ones, and XII seems like it could be a good 'next step'.
