I've been playing on the Demiurge private server for the last few weeks and it's pretty solid. It's a small pop newer server, currently 75 capped. The guy who runs it is a DSP coder so it's constantly getting worked on. I like it because with 2x exp and working FoV and GoV I'm not forced to party to get levels. Another to consider if you want to try private servers.

gobbie stew is almost never in the roation, Shantotto II is frustratingly rare. For the stew at least, the next time the Mog Garden event rolls around it should be in there for cheap.

Supposedly there's an Alter-Ego Extravaganza coming up sometime in April-May where some will be available, probably not Shantotto II though which is the one I really want. Don't really remember if it's via login points or just Sparks/other currencies, but I think some are available with login points.

Can you use trusts in abysea now? Back in 2014 you couldn’t and it made that place that much worse.

I had one viewer for like ten minutes, lol. Nobody wants to watch a stream of a 20 year old game with no webcam or stream information or anything, I guess. I was in a party with a guy today (and a few times over the past week, I like that I've been grouping with familiar faces for the most part) who had 300 people watching his stream, though, which I found very surprising.

Anniversary is next month, so anticipate a lot of trusts being available in May.

If anyone finds or can make an app or addon/plugin that can auto trade SP Gobbie Keys, I would greatly appreciate!

For retail do you guys prefer windower or ashita? I keep getting a crash when trying to launch retail with ashita. https://i.imgur.com/kyC27Vn.png

Using default client works fine. But obviously is awful.

I've never had a problem with windower outside of a few cutscenes which are well known to make the client hang.

If I were to start multiboxing again I would probably make the switch to Ashita.

That's error suggests that the installation is messed up or the registry is getting messed up with something ashita is trying to do with the client

LiquidFriend

Ashita is more resource intensive than Windower, but more stable and much friendlier for multiboxing.

Zero issues with the chat log bug with Ashita and I can easily get around and cutscene hang ups from not using Vanilla.

Are abysea leech exp parties still a thing if you're sub 99 or should I just keep with leveling using my trusts?

Very dead.

Abyssea exp isn't normal so doesn't get any of the exp boost. You can get way more than the ~600exp per kill that abyssea caps at just chaining EM or DC enemies elsewhere.

Perfect. So just keep going to zone appropriate levels with my trust group and I’ll be 99 in no. Time.

How far into rov do the exp bonuses stop? Having to stop doing rov to then go do missions in other content has been a bit annoying. Like currently having to do some wings of goddess stuff since I was only on cat sith.

And once you're in escha zi'tah, anyone with a decent -PDT set and a bit of cleave can get you to 99 in like 30 minutes. 10 if the Gain XP RoE is up.

I'm a degenerate who loves grinding, but I'm on a different server with a friend from home. I wish you luck finding someone with base 119 gear and like, the Shockwave WS who can spare like five minutes.

Did you already Limit Break by the way?

The issue with doing that, and the biggest drawback to being on Asura, is the good camps are usually swamped

Well assuming I got all the exp rov kis. How long does it take to go 1-99 with just trusts and going to different camps based on level?

keep it down up there!
Jun 22, 2006

How's it goin' eh?

When I was trying to get every job done I could do 30-99 in a few hours solo with trusts, though that may have been during an exp campaign as well. I forget.
Either way it's quite fast even solo.

I may be remembering wrong, but pretty sure I took a 26 Cor to 99+merits, in a handful of days (3?).
