I want to buy two copies (one for myself on the PC and one for her on the PS4). What I want to know is whether or not she can switch between the PS4 and my PC to play without needing to buy a 3rd copy? You would need to buy a third copy to do that, licenses are per platform unfortunately

Kinda fitting for a job known to be a master of none  I'm also wondering if I might want to shuffle the UI around a bit to make the procs more visible but I assume I can't mess with the UI for one job without messing it up for the rest? Also which folder/files do I want to backup in case I mess up my UI again?

You should be somewhere in the 53-54 range when you enter Heavensward, which should smooth over some of the leveling gaps there.

I have: 1-4: Jolt II, Veraero, Verthunder, Verflare Shift 1-4: Impact, Verstone, Verfire, Verholy E, R, F: Riposte, Zwerchhau, Redoublement Shift+E and Shift+R: Fleche, Contre Sixte Mouse 4: Corps-a-corps Mouse 5: Displacement It's really just up to what you feel is comfortable. I'm leaving off things like Acceleration and Vercure and stuff because where you find cooldowns/rarely-used heals to be most comfortable is probably more subjective than standard rotational stuff. My general philosophy here was to put similar abilities together: white mana generators on 2, black mana generators on 3, finishers on 4, that kind of thing.

Club Penguin Expats on Excalibur is recruiting a DRG, NIN or MNK for Delta Savage midcore raiding. We raid from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM EST on Fridays and Saturdays, with a sanity clause to stop early if we're clearly making zero progress a given night. We'd prefer folks who are already 70, already i310 or so, and already have at least some raiding experience, but we're willing to relax these preferences depending on the circumstances. If you're interested, contact me on Discord at kc#5063 for more info.

Don't forget the Coils of Bahamut. You can accomplish them quick, they're fun (mostly), the gear in the last set is good looking, and T13 is still one of the best looking fights in the game. Don't worry about having a group. The mere mention will summon Fister from the aether to deliver 7 goons to you. He's like a weird Coil Angel in that way.

I personally recommend waiting until at least 60 to do coil so that you don't spend the entire fight on the ground while the other 7 people beat up the boss. Having more HP helps a lot with surviving not knowing the mechanics.

Harrow posted:I have: That makes sense, yeah I think my biggest hurdle might actually be HUD layout, because I find myself spending way too much time looking down at my hotbars to see if I get procs or not (god I miss addons like in WoW.) I messed a little bit with the HUD, and it seems like you at least get a few "slots" for it now so you can keep multiple layouts? That's nice if it works like I think it does, it's new right?As for the hotkeys, I've kept the same basic hotbar layout for multiple MMOs, dividing it into rotation skills (num, mouse), utility (ctrl/shift+num), buffs/cooldowns(F1-F5) and procs/mobility (surrounding WASD).... but Red Mage has a very different balance of these categories from what I'm used to and it's messing up my system

Your Computer posted:That makes sense, yeah One thing that might help is using a couple of non-shared hotbars in a central location just to track procs/cooldowns. You can set whether hotbars are shared between jobs in Character Configuration. You can put an ability on more than one hotbar, so maybe mirror your procs and cooldowns on another hotbar or two and then put them somewhere more central, like right under where your target bar is, so that they catch your eye when they light up.

I recently hit 52 as a botanist and have been messing around with collectibles, but I think I'm doing something wrong. All the guides I see say to use "reveal with a hit" to start the rotation, but that doesn't seem to be an actual skill. Are they saying I need to not use that one revealing skill for 300gp and instead manually guess at the out of reach slots?

Yeah I noticed that one my second run which dropped the Katana, thank goodness. I was managing under 20minute clears on my RDM, but I was starting to wonder how long it would take. Now thanks to that and spending a bit too much on the AH, my Glamourai is completely until I get a better leg piece.  Well, almost complete, I can't pick between Blackflame and Blueflame.

But yeah, you just click on the slot to swing at it, and it'll reveal if you have enough gathering.

The Eorzeans had no idea who Shinryu was, but Yugiri knew. It just feels weird that it's not explained how he summoned fourth a primal of a mythic figure from another cultures folklore that he himself was unaware of.

Shinryu was a name given to it after its summoning based on Doman Legends. The Domans probably would've called Bahamut "Shinyru" too. They just see "Angry dragon god". "Shinryu" was the product of Ilberd wanting to create another calamity as revenge on everyone and his idea of a calamity is influenced by Bahamut's rampage, thus what he created takes the form of an angry dragon god. The fact the largest fuel source was an angry dragon probably helped too.
