Been getting some good mileage out of the hipster glasses lately. Makes me wish I could tag what I craft as Artisan.

This ARR post-Ultima Weapon content has a Au Ra refugee from Doma. Did the Au Ra race exist prior to Stormblood, but it just wasn't playable? Or did they retroactively make this character Au Ra?

Of course, she was the only Au Ra character until Stormblood.

Or did they retroactively make this character Au Ra? She was au ra from her first appearance and was finally revealed without disguise in the final arr patch. When HW launched au ra became a playable race and they showed up a little more frequently as npcs.

I think the main problem was that they're persecuted in Ishgard, and the only non-Ishgardian humanoid settlement in HW was Idyllshire.

ImpAtom posted:What's the best way to level gathering classes anyway if money isn't really a concern? Are there levekits for them? As someone who recently got everything to 70  if money's not a concern you'll still do the gathering leves, but make sure to buy (or gather I guess ) your GC turnins every day, with HQ giving double exp. Other than that I guess you can go buy or craft HQ gathering gear to make doing the leves and class quests less painful, but yeah there's no real leve-kit option like there is for crafters.oh yeah all those seals you'll get for doing gc turnins? buy cordials, you'll need them

This quest where this adventurer you meet early into the MSQ apparently is getting married to the decapitated head of her fiance and "invited" the corpse of her dead friend to the wedding is pretty hosed up. I've been sidelining a lot of these hard-version dungeon quests, but I think I'm gonna need to check this one out.

They're pretty painless to do, and some of them have exceptionally dope music and environments.

All this stuff with Doma refugees and Ul'Dah 1%er financiers is more interesting than anything from the original ARR story (which was just a long chain of addressing different primal threats and spending like 10 hours trying to find where Cid's airship went). I hope this quest chain ends with guillotining the robber baron lalafel.

I did Tam-Tara Hard and it had a suitably creepy ending. I also did Sastasha Hard, whose final boss (the kraken) was confusing as poo poo and took like 15 minutes of me running around hitting tentacles and occasionally whacking the boss's main body a couple times (I imagine there's some more correct way to do this, but none of the other party members knew what it was). On an unrelated note, someone needs to compile a list of all the times people (and particular Minfilia) effusively praise you in this game. I feel like every other MSQ quest involves people being like "I would just like you thank you again for being so incredible and saving the world. Words cannot express my gratitude. The world owes you a debt it can never repay. Only God Himself is more worthy of praise than you, and even that is a topic up for debate."

I feel confident I could kill god if he showed up. Kraken strat- There are two kinds of tentacles, regular ones and nubby ones. He puts them out in waves. You pretty much want to kill the regular tentacles and ignore the nubby ones. The sole exception to this is when there are 8 regular tentacles out, in which case just ignore them and get beat on a bit.

Yeah it gets pretty annoying and even though the writing steps up quite a bit with the expansions that part never really goes away. It does make the few characters that don't shower you with unending praise stand out more though.
