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.
So finally got my dumb Private Eye themed dude a cottage, or rather, an office to work out of for noir shenanigans.

...itchin to write some words for this.

Got to 11% enrage on O7s, so hopefully next week's gear and clean up of mechanics will help push us over. I wonder if my healers have glanced at o8s...

Doing the Stormblood Dragoon quests, and am I supposed to know who Orn Khai's dad is? I don't recall meeting any male dragons in HW's ongoing quest of plot importance.

He's Aymeric's dragon ride MSQ wise. He's basically the Zenos fighter of the family.

Otherwise, Verdfolnir (Vidofnir's big bro) is part of a Chain FATE in the Churning Mists where you're helping out Hrae's brood and some moogles getting attacked by Nidhogg's general Darkscales.
I know this because there's two cheevos for it, one for beating Darkscales along Verd, and a fight against Verdfolnir which requires you do 4 FATEs.

Your reward for all this is Ishgardian Half Barding.... :flaccid:

Speaking of, I don't recall meeting any girl baby/kid dragons at any point either. All of them are grown up, which leads me to believe they're rare(?) like some Beast tribes.

There's one (and a teenager as well) in the Moogle Beast Tribe quests.

Edit: misread, sorry--there are kids but they're male.

Is there any way to advance higher than 2nd Lieutenant in GCs, because I swear it has be related to Squadrons or something.

Virdfolnir mostly shows up in the FATE chain in Churning Mists with the execrable writing.

I don't remember it being that bad, but's also been months since I did it for a lovely Barding and hell if I'm going to try it again without a PF party.

The enemies in the FATE chain constantly shout out banter, and it's at about the level of a middle school kid running his first D&D game. Also, after having dragons with names like Midgardsormr, Hraesvalgr, Nidhogg, Virdfolnir, Vidofnir, and Tioman, these fates introduce you to... Darkscale. And it all feels like it's being played seriously rather than as a gag (like, say, Sir Spiked Butt).

The whole chain is just such an egregious outlier compared to everything else in Heavensward that it still bugs me.

Yeah, you need to level up your squadron. I think a special advancement mission shows up once your squaddies reach a certain level. If that one is succesfully completed, you get promoted to first lt.

At the end you seem to get a free bonus piece of seals on the hoof piece of relevant gear that could have dropped in the dungeon, which you can use. I think this is to ease the flow of things in case you get RNG-hosed like my FC's resident NIN main.

You need to clear the second advancement mission, which is a level 40 squadron mission. It's like the one you get at level 20 where you need to hit all 3 of the numbers to complete it.

Here's a calculator if you need to figure out what to train to get over those pain in the rear end missions. http://ffxivsquadron.com/

HW and SB leveling dungeons (51-59 and 61-69) give you a guaranteed job piece when you finish, it gets lost among other messages. Most reliably way to see what you got, for me, was to just /isearch the unique term in dungeon gear like Shisui or Nomad.

Are the lvl50 Artisan equipment items the best source of Mastercraft demimateria? I have my LTW desynth up high enough that I get 100% desynthesis chance on the gloves but the Mastercraft demimateria seems to be rare. FCIII isn't a problem because of the Best Man's shoes.

I wish i could trade in my mastercraft for fieldcraft 3. I have like 40 of the former vs 2 of the latter. Mastercraft also goes for like 8k on my server, so i can't even really profit from this pile.

It really is Late in Heavensward he started to lose his touch a little (Sophia's Choice :magical: and the whole spoiling the climax of 3.55 with a title thing), but by the time Stormblood was being localized he apparently went to go see Hamilton and has been on a roll again.
