Spent a good chunk of the day crafting and gathering for it but totally worth it. Haven't even started on the inside. Thinking of sticking with the dining theme and making the top level some small but classy restaurant style, and then making the bottom look like either a fancier VIP room style thing, a kitchen/wine cellar set up, or some sort of seedier bar style area.

I'm assuming the answer is "no", but i haven't actually tried it yet, so: Can you stack the crafter teas or can you only have one of them active?

The SMN plot feels weirdly lazy but also more coherent than the AST one did. I guess to be fair they probably worked hard on the new fancy-dress-witch class in HW, while SMN has the intrinsic reward of murdering mobiles with dragon lasers.

Look at this snail.
All I remember about the ast questline is I kind of wanted something to happen between the elf guard of the obnoxious elf and the main quest girl. Then SB came around and I don't think the guy made an appearance? A huge let down.

The Ladies Day furnishing looks like one of the contest winners, if I'm remembering correctly. I wonder when we're going to get the awesome he Steppe bed. Maybe they'll add a new awesome questline there and have it as a reward!

Save all your cooldowns for a tight 10 second window where you mash them all at once and watch your wildfire damage be unimpressive due to getting no crits.

Finally got MCH to 70, how do I shoot guns good.

Opener is 2 ammo preloaded, Hypercharge (Potion) Hotshot, Gauss Round Split Shot, Reload Slug Shot, Flamethrower 5 ticks into Overheat Split Shot, Reassemble Wildfire Clean Shot, Quick Reload Rapidfire Slug Shot, Ricochet Clean Shot, Gauss Round Cooldown, Overload Cooldown, Overheat ends.

During lockout you do a couple regular shots before reapplying hotshot as the last global without gauss barrel, immediately Quick Reload Split(/Proc) Shot, Gauss Barrel Barrel Stabilizer Slug(/Proc) Shot, Gauss Round Reload, then shoot gun as normal.

Use Gauss Round, Quick Reload, Reload on cooldown. Use ammo to get a proc if you can but don't delay your Reload. Once your wildfire is coming off cooldown you can do the usual 1-2-1 setup, should only need a single tick of Flamethrower to overheat which you can do even on the move, cancel with Cooldown and do Wildfire sequence as above from Reassemble onwards.

Every odd cycle you get to Hypercharge again, fire it when Wildfire has less than 20 secs cooldown left and you should be able to get your cycle into the window without losing any hypercharged shots when you Overload.

There's also a different cycle that works off 3 ammo preloaded which comparing perfect to perfect outputs a miniscule amount more damage but you have to stop for 2 tick Flamethrowers when you overheat like some kind of animal. Plays nicer when you have too much skillspeed though.

Disassemble is good, figure out the big bad moves of each boss and cuck them. Remember to use Refresh so your healer likes you and you can tell them to adjust on O7S.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/7uqi5m/quick_crafter_gatherer_endgame_progression_guide/

Scroll down to where the header says "1320 / 1220 / 500 Macro for 2.5** Recipes"

It's a long sequence, so triple check your food, tea, mats, cross class actions. You may also want to add an additional second to the <wait> calls 'cause sometimes your game can lag, and the macro will skip a couple of steps.

and you'll probably wanna run the macro with your stats on the crafting simulator thing just to make sure that it'll work.

So lore question, is it politically a problem if the WoL is a Black Mage? It's a forbidden art, right? I don't remember a lot of the 1-50 quests, but I do remember the 60 (55?) one being about dumbasses trying it.

You'd be amazed the kind of things people let you get away with when your hobby is murdering gods.

But seriously, who could tell the WoL no in this matter? Some white mage like types get to complaining? Bitch, I have the elder seedseer on speed dial. Same for all the other nations.

Yeah, I assume with the WoL it's like "Okay, so you're casting Flare 27 times a minute, that's illegal, but on the other hand you're casting Flare 27 times a minute and that means you could obliterate this entire country singlehanded so... godspeed, Warrior of Light!"

To be fair they're not White Mages, they're conjurers. White Mages are in a similar territory to Black Mages IIRC where they don't want people running around using it willy-nilly because it fucks up the land just as good as black magic.

Of course nobody is going to tell the WoL they can't spam Holy.

Well I mean Summoners require you to rip a piece off a land-killing god before you can even do anything.

AST seems pretty good though so far. I'm waiting for the twist about how you're actually murdering other stars to fuel your magic or something.

The guy mentions he was sent specifically by the Seedseer Council, of which Kan-E Senna is the Boss and her siblings are members. All three are proper, capital-W White Mages. You'd think at least one of them would have gone, "Uh hold up, maybe let's not accuse the Warrior of Light who has saved the ream like six times at this point, minimum." The questline would have been way better if the dude had come to us for our help and expertise in dealing with black magic, instead of instantly calling us out on being some kind of evil warlock.

Red Mages are cool people though, and their entire questline was good fun.

Yeah. IIRC before the WoL became a White Mage, true White Magic was only taught to Padjali. I haven’t followed the arc that far so I dunno if they ever let anyone else in on the action.

But then most of the jobs are special in the lore because almost nobody else there is capable of becoming them or is trusted to learn this lost forbidden power. Or are MCH where you’re basically inventing the profession as you go.

Wasn’t that guy just sent to find whoever was up to no good with Black Magic? I was pretty sure he wasn’t after us specifically, he just found us while looking into the Black Mage teacher and flipped out at us, but it’s been a while.

Summoners are still comically outrageously dangerous.
