Have you seen the Nendo market? The market where dolls that are made are decided by the perceived market demand they'd garner?

It's either creepy stalker commentary or scathing commentary on the figurine market and I for one, have decided it's the latter.

How many of the jokes in stuff like minion descriptions and FATE descriptions are also in the Japanese version and how many are Koji Fox inventions?

The Lyse one at least has a similar joke in Japanese. It says something like "The beautiful dress Tataru faithfully replicated is so lovely, it looks like a dancer's. But it's not for a dancer. Definitely not."

The "creepy stalker" joke on Dress Up Y'Shtola was good, though.

Just post it competitive / around what the current minimum is, provided that isn't absurdly low. Check the History button at the Market Board to get an idea of the average selling price. Full stacks are fine.

Heck, you might be able to sidestep board fees entirely, sell it to a craftergoon. Silver ore is always in demand because it is used to make GSM glamour prisms, and to a lesser extent, compunding Durium in SB crafting.

I figured out what it wanted me to do pretty much as soon as I saw that it wanted a 7-letter word. Were people seriously just doing anagrams with their letters rather than solving the puzzle the intended way?

Yeah I didn't pay attention at all to what the numbers/letters meant. When it was time to input a password, if you look at the letters you collect, some of them leave behind the allagan node and some don't. The ones that leave behind a node are the letters to your password, so you can anagram it out from those a little easier.

I just wiggled back and forth on the floor 1 to 2 stairs to get the answer. :shrug:

That particular anagram looks like it might be "crystal".

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
Pretty sure that one is "Crystal", yeah.

I went around to old alts on other servers just to see what the variants were, got Fantasy once, Crystal three times, and Chocobo once(Which I really didn't need the numbers for. That many O's was a dead giveaway.)

Has any of you moved the installation folder for the game (steam version)?

I have it installed on my regular drive and want to move it to my SSD, but Steam doesn't have the 'move' option; do I just move the folder manually and then 'reinstall' to the new location? Won't that gently caress with settings and stuff? I really don't want to have to redo my hotbars. :<

Just when that was starting to dawn on me, the solution jumped out at me from the jumble of letters so i didn't have to actually look. Mine was FANTASY

Copying should work fine. If you run the launcher and click Config, there's a Backup Tool you can use to save your settings, if you're worried about that.

There's a thing you need to do unless you want to be forced to reinstall though. You'll want to create a SteamLibrary folder on the drive you want to move the game onto, move the appmanifest file for FFXIV there, then start installing it. After you start the install -then- stop it and overwrite it with the old install. If you try to move the old install first Steam will think it's wrong and delete most of it forcing a full reinstall.

Also, I'm leveling BTN through the mid-50s right now. Are ephemeral nodes just the same basic thing as unspoiled nodes, as in they only spawn once or twice per Eorzean day?

I think they just have different things in them. I remember hitting the same ephemeral node multiple times within an hour while mining... something or other.

Ephemeral Nodes are basically slight variations on Unspoiled. They do have a limited time per Eorzean day where they're up, but during that time they respawn like regular nodes do, so if you hit a few other nodes in the area they'll be back again so long as the window is still open.

Yeah, I didn't see this and tried to move/install and it ended up downloading most of it again. I was mostly concerned about losing my configs, so it's not really a big deal. Thanks for the warning!

This look is pretty popular, I'll have to steal it soon.

Ephemeral nodes have a window of about 4 game hours per day where they respawn normally after you go bonk some of the nearby regular nodes. Sometimes you can get items from them that you can use directly, but the primary reason for them is to get things you can reduce to aethersand (or lots of crystal clusters) using the gathering collectables skills. A number of HW and SB crafting recipes require assorted types of aethersand so if you see people descend on an ephemeral node as soon as it appears, that's probably what they are up to.

If you are hitting enrage it is probably because of more than one dps loving up in the fight
