And if the level gap within party is higher than 8, you get nothing.

Is SMN/SCH XP retroactive? As in, if I unlocked a SCH now I have a level 70 SMN, what would I start at?

I care less about per mob XP and just getting the challenge logs done, when I was partying up on the fate train at level 6-7 nothing was giving me challenge log progress, even stuff that was tagged to our party.

There's also some skills gated behind Job quests, so you won't have everything dumped on you, but you will have an odd mix of abilities for sure.

I once had a smn try out for a static I was in. It came out that he was using Ruin 2 bound to his spacebar. We did not end up recruiting him.

shift+forward is for your mount, because it makes you run faster. shift for faster has been common sense since doom

Spacebar is for your most commonly used action, or for an action that you use frequently while moving, since you don't need to move your hand off of WASD (or ESDF if you're some kinda weirdo) to press it.

how do people using legacy controls do the part of o8s where you have to backpedal towards where Kefka is teleporting while staring at the statue?

orcane posted:I agree the change is awful, but this specific part isn't new - when the 24-mans are fresh you're not running them in 15-20 minutes and to even see your item drop may require running it those 4-5 (or more) times in the first place. The only part they changed is that you can't count on better odds by being the only job for your armor. Back in the day I used 24mans as an easy way to keep my healer geared up since they had better queues and you only had to fight 1 other person for loot. That's all out the window now though, lol. Wacky Delly posted:Basically I roll on anything that is an upgrade and not for something I never play like NIN or DRG. It's worked so far only had to make 1 run each week. Yeah, this is how I'm approaching it now, too much other stuff I'd rather do. Hobgoblin2099 posted:I actually believed this back in ARR when I was fighting Titan. I still do this on some attacks out of pure reaction. Mentally I associate jumping with moving faster.

Frankly they need to just move 24s to a token system, and let it become an infinite farm for Second Chance points for WT or some other incentive to keep the queues full.

I run out of orange circles, then turn around until it lands then keep running. I got caught by the mechanic a grand total once once we had it figured out, but I would've been anyway because I zoned out and wasn't paying attention to the symbol at all.

I've never had a problem with it because the timing is a lot more generous then you may think. I'm assuming you're talking about the end of the graven image phase with tethers, mind, where the party is all clustered in the centre. Even if you want to play super safe and not move from dead centre until the last look/don't look resolves, popping sprint will get you safely to the edge before his teleport attack goes off. Sprint may not even be necessary.

Vermain posted:The "good" news, I guess, is that there's at least multiple ways of doing gear catch up this time around. 340 gear is pretty easy to get with repeated Rabanastre runs, you can do Eureka to upgrade to 350s, dungeons drop good gear frequently, there's craftable items that are (or were) fairly cheap, there's no Delta/Sigmascape lockout, etc. Back in the day, hammering my head against Syrcus Tower was pretty much the only viable gearing option as a catchup when I joined in 2.4. What's the grind like for just getting 350 gear in Eureka? I was on hiatus for 4.25 and had written off Eureka because I didn't care about relics.

I have no idea if it's true or not, but back when Titan was The poo poo I was told that the game doesn't register your position while you're in the air, so if you tried to jump out of the puddles right before they went off then you'd still get hit by them. Nowadays it's probably more about latency than anything, but that stuck with me enough that I don't jump around when dodging mechanics.

It’s about the same as it takes to get to level 20, which you’ll need anyway for the next Eureka zone. The next zone will be just weapons, unfortunately. No one knows if the relic armor will continue past dyeable AF3.

Locking on to the target by pressing L3, obviously. (I have not actually done this fight nor do I ever actually use target lock but it is amusing that this would technically be a use case for it)

I just wait for the "look at me" eye to complete and then run to the edge he's teleporting to. There's lots of time.

Strafe as close to the safe spot as possible while facing the eye, then book it the rest of the way when the eye resolves.

For you nerds who are trying to get a house on Excal but don't like Goblet. Just buy a goddamn Goblet plot anyway and sit on it. It'll let you transfer to any available plot the instant it's vacant instead of waiting for the cooldown to go away and praying it doesn't get scooped in the 1-24hr timeframe where it can't be bought by unlanded peasants.

Thank you to the brave goons who almost got me a Tsukuyomi EX clear tonight. If only we hadn't hit enrage that one time. I hosed up the moon mechanic a hell of a lot at first, sorry. I'm impressed we managed to get past the meteors without using Discord, though.

Wait, Tsukuyomi actually has an enrage? I've died to mechanics plenty of times but every group that's gotten past, like, the second Akh Morn has cleared.
