Maybe maybe not, they're completely unrelated events and even debuted at different times.

What makes you think 01-04 aren’t duty finder able? The only one I’ve ever wiped to is 04 with entirely random pugs. Just queue, they barely have mechanics.

Savage on the other hand you want competent groups for.

Sorry, I did mean Savage. I typed that on mobile waiting on an appt.

hello my group for bads and newbs needs two more healers (or one healer and one DPS if I swap SMN for AST) to get rolling. Though I'd suggest springing for the i320 crafted weapon and shoving the materia the game rains on you into everything.

I'll PM you to talk about some of the details of your group, like what day/time, etc.

O1S and O2S are on par with some of the easier ex primals for difficulty, so don't be afraid to queue up for them in PF. A quick YouTube video and basic competence in your job will get you most of the way there. 3 and 4 are a step up in challenge and much more complicated mechanically, but can still be done with randoms if you're willing to run then enough times to learn what to do (and then run it some more times until you find the PF where the other people know what to do also).

I still think running with a static is more fun regardless.

Should I wait until I get my 330 weapon next week before I start attempting O3S + Shin EX? Currently at 326, but I'll probably be closer to 330'ish by the end of the week provided I can farm enough 1.0 Datalogs. Did around 4.2k on O2S, and that's with loving my cooldowns up in the last half and having to deal with less than great tanks loving me out of positionals

Mechanics are more important than damage.

The DPS check for O3S isn't that tight anyway. My static beat it in the second week, so none of us had 330 weapons yet.

Are you sure you don't have another copy of the quest running for a different class? I've done that once or twice.

I just checked, I can't find that quest anywhere in my completed logs (i'm further in the quest chain), and definitely not from the person who initially gives the quests. I'm additionally not on the relic reborn quest at all.

Still can't figure out whether I need to do atma quest first, and then the original questline becomes available, or if I need to do something else first.

All you have to do is equip your relic and farm the atma. There is no repeat quest entry for that stage. I don't believe there are any repeat entries for any stage after the pre-atma part at all.

Oh, nevermind, I didn't read correctly.

Assuming you've completed up to or beyond Up In Arms, you should be able to just accept the Relic Reborn quest again on any job, and proceed up until the Atma phase like normal. Afterwards, if you've worked on a Zodiac, even if you never finished, those quests do not show up again, and you just do all the things you needed to do in order without ever speaking to an NPC except for the materia scroll and dungeon atma items, and upgrading weapons to the next tier.

Just encountered a bug/issue where Kabuto refuses to do anything if you kill a group of enemies before he gets there. I guess he's pissed I mopped up the foes and he didn't get a chance to do his super cool limit break or something?

Well, if that happens, you can't back out of the duty, nor can you fail, just wait out the timer. So that's my night.

I wonder if maintenance is related to that.

I think the reason it's not showing up is probably because I may have not completed the level 50 SCH job (I was trying to do the SCH relic quest), but I wont be able to tell until servers are back up and I finish grinding out yokai...

I didn't shout out what my costume was at the time, but I was going for David Bowie in Labyrinth. I was the second person up. Obisidenne before me was Dr. Frank N. Furter from Rocky Horror.

Also, Rhaine's Tiny Skullcrusher was the best.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
They should get rid of Selene's silence and let her have the eos aoe heal to replace it. Then it comes down to which matters more: the tiny dps boost or dispelling poo poo like shinryu's paralysis, or having eos for hardcore progression where the healing/dr matter

IMO there's times when Selene's worth bringing over Eos for the extra dispel. This google doc might be useful for you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1taiR05AMe_PPLZ4oQ4VPKBLgMWd9cS7E5IXhFOnQSfg/edit#gid=0

I imagine the problem with Selene is that if you buff her at all it's probably going to get ridiculous. To be honest I suspect they'd just have gotten rid of her if not for cutscenes and stuff. It feels like Eos is the one they genuinely want to be part of the kit and Selene is a leftover legacy mechanic.

Yeah they did a big fairy rework, I think when heavensward came out or a patch or two after, that changed most of their abilities and messed with sch in a bunch of other ways. I think selene used to provide some kinda magic damage boost? She was considered the dpsing sch fairy at the time while eos was the boring safe one. But that's gone now.
