Everyone was throwing around these stupid loving ideas about how Blue Mage would learn skills, but thankfully now we know that you buy them for 14 Kupo Coins or 3 skills for 40 Kupo Coins or BEST VALUE 20 skills for 250 Kupo Coins.

Intriguing. Not really a service I'm interested in but I can both see its place and why there would be concerns about it.

Okay so I think I’m going to resub but I have not touched Heaven on High, the MH Quests, or Eureka (I played probably ten minutes of the very first Eureka, saw a reimagining of the Normandy Beach landing but with a lot of giant crabs).

What has been the consensus on the new stuff and, uh... what kind of grind am I looking at if I didn’t even do the first Eureka grind

HoH is a heavily streamlined version of PotD; there's slightly less relative exp payoff but a pretty solid i365 weapon reward that's somewhat easy to get. Some of the worst-case scenarios from the start can be a lot deadlier than PotD 1-50 but it's otherwise pretty easy.

The MH content consists of a normal 8-man trial and an extreme 4-man trial. If you want to get all the rewards it will involve grinding a lot, but you can take it as slow as you want as the content is permanent and it'll just be harder to queue for later on if you aren't bringing friends.

Eureka isn't worth touching at all at this point so don't worry about it. Pagos is especially egregious.

Maybe it's just that HoH is bad for leveling when at that point you can get like a level a day just through roulettes? Though PotD was largely the same.

In other news, I got MCH to 42 and I'm already feeling like there's too much to keep track of. I'm going whole fights forgetting to use Hot Shot or my autoturret like a dingus. I've got the hang of my ammo rotation but keeping Rapid Fire and Reassemble lined up is haaaaaard even if they have the same cooldown as Wildfire.

And when I say "too much to keep track of," keep in mind that I'm a BRD main.

Get used to always using your cooldowns in the same order during Wildfire and they will always be lined up. If the boss jumps or you die mid Wildfire and didn't use all your 60 second cooldowns, just hold them until your next Wildfire. It's usually better to lose a use than to have them misaligned.

Also since each area of Eureka is basically gated by the previous it has the amazing double-whammy of loving over people in the newest incarnation because a dwindling number of people will ever be able to get there, while also loving over people who want to start now because l-o-loving-l no one's gonna want to go back to the old zones.

It's even worse then that since anyone that completed it and did want to go back to help can't since the archaic grouping system means the high levels would just gently caress over the low levels.



I love this.

Housing/apartment-having is a good way to make yourself destitute! You can go here if you want to preview other furniture items later. Also, a lot of the more basic furniture items are fairly cheap from the vendor in the apartment lobby, so take a look at what they have for sale!

Also, my alt's mooncat adventures continue!

I still need 8 elementals for my challenge log for this week... :negative: I'm 25 in Pagos and tried killing a level 26 one, and of course it buried me alive. I'll try one of equal level while abusing Eureka Potions, but my prospects aren't high.

Also, a happy bunny gave me 1000 gil and a quicktongue V materia for heading into extremely dangerous territory and nearly dying. Not worth it. I should note that it took me and another person 15 minutes to duo the bunny FATE. :smithicide:

I like how there's nothing of value in the app worth paying for. A retainer costs $2 a month on the mog station, so they're basically saying that having more bird bagspace and the ability to manage retainer inventories offline is worth $3 more than that. Paying real money every time you want to make or change a single MB listing is even worse. It feels like there was a mandate from Squenix to push a tie-in app with microtransactions and they just rushed out something only the world's biggest idiots would pay money for.

If they give it a Kinna equivalent, people will be back. Everyone who had at least 100 tomestones in the currency tab by Monday night reset could be able to buy an i370 by the end of next week with a little effort so there's not much demand for the current HoH weapon. Also, the 60-70 grind isn't very hard on alt jobs.

I probably won't be on until like 9 central, but if you're still doing any O5S and there's room, I'd love to join. This is on Primal, right? I've cleared before but I just resubbed after a while off, so I'm a tad bit rusty.

I assume raid school will stick to 5+6, and you won't ever be teaching O7S? :v:

For some reason I thought you'd be able to chat with your FC and your linkshells with the app. But you can only have 1on1 conversations with other people who have the app. This makes it absolutely useless to me

Even for a company as Bad At The Internet as Square-Enix, this app is a low point. They've been tossing the idea of a companion app for years and what they come up with is crash happy, chat functionality is stunted to the point of uselessness, and retainer management costs roughly 20 cents *per price adjustment* on top of the existing sub cost + monthly retainer costs? :cmon:
