Quick AST question: what's the value of Arrow/Spear compared to Balance now? Is it still always worth it to fish for Balance in 8-mans, or is its value low enough that playing it safe if you get an Arrow/Spear draw better?

Hyper Inferno

Balance is still better, but a spread Spear during the opener can be quite competitive with all the crit stacking.

I want to stay that if you draw a Spear, it's worth using it instead of redrawing (especially on a Bard) unless you have a spread Balance already and don't have an AoE Royal Road stocked up. Arrow I'm not so sure about unless you have a BLM in the party.

I know BLMs love that Arrow and so in some situations it may be better to throw that arrow on a BLM than let it ride.

Two questions

1. I'm a scrub, what do I meld onto gear for DRK
2. Is there a way to transfer the game files onto a new PC to avoid having to re-download everything? I know you can save your settings but if there's a way to transfer all these huge files full of catgirl panty textures, that would be swell.

We post character shots and poo poo all the time. Taking fun pics is just part of the game.

Also do not speak to me of mods. That is a darkness I have fully drowned myself in.

1. Strength right side, Direct Hit (if you don't also play Warrior) or Crit (if you do) for left side.
2. I think you can just transfer over your FFXIV folder.

You can copy the folder and get your settings too.

You can just lift the whole game directory, put it anywhere on your new PC or new hard drive and make new shortcuts to ffxivboot.exe

For desynthesising, is it better to focus on a few jobs or go jack-of-all-trades? I'm guessing both have advantages/disadvantages, but what are those? Also, if I choose to focus on a few, how many is it actually possible to max?

Probably best to focus on 3. You can max out 3.

It should be noted that it will probably take literal years to make the money back if you wanted to fully level desynth.

At the start of an expansion you can print as much money as you want with desynth by buying all the quest rewards people put up for below vendor price to a few thousand gil and selling the fresh new mats everyone needs to level crafting.

Quick ventures while you're online, then an 18 hour hunting mission when you log off for the day are the quickest way to level retainers.

Squadron is the worst. It feels like it punishes you for playing a DPS, but as a Tank I can handle the same mechanics just fine despite not being particularly good at tanking.

Brayflox Hard's final boss is the worst in squadron unless you have Unleash or Overpower. :argh:

I don't have quick venture-- I have hunting, exploration (which is 18 hours), and quick exploration.

Alas, I'm also a Balgoon and will have to settle for showing off in the thread. My Warrior of Light's gone full weeaboo native.



Living area, with a study/stuff area to the right and a kitchen/dining area/shrine to Sophia to the left. I'm kinda sad I can't use the dress rack or the little hat/handbag stand for anything, but eh. Also, beware of Ted the blobfish, some say he's a real killer.



And the bedroom/other stuff area. I like to think my character is secretly a huge fashionista and dabbling clothing designer, so her room's full of dressers and drawers and kimonos and makeup kits. :3: And, you know, a loom, because the WoL doesn't play around. Also there's a bathtub in there because I didn't want to try to make another room and eat up even more space; I'm really happy with the kimono rack as a semi room divider to make it seem less out of place.



Also, it's in Shirogane, so the hidden shores are right there if you and yours want to enjoy the sunrise.

Shirogane, Ward 13, Apartment 74 if people want to come invade my privacy.

Quick exploration is what he means. It takes an hour and is basically a pull of the slot machine for almost any item in the game, quality weighted based on how good your retainer's gear is. (I think it only checks item level for combat classes and the gathering stat for DoL but I'm not sure.)
