Ironically you need to farm GC Seals to spend on the far and away best way to level (squad dungeons)

Sometimes I just like to take a walk and do some FATEs on the way.

I keep waiting for the patch that removes the FATEs from unlocking Crystal Tower. Those suck.

what do you mean that hotkey disappeared
Little late, but my attempts at climbing the Moonfire Faire tower were a case of "a bridge too far". I made it as far as the last corner jump multiple times before getting tilted and accidentally flying off the tower.

The last stretch of the tower isn't fun. The pegs are so small and their hitboxes so janky that when you reach the corner jumps, you have to jump on thin air and land on thin air. At that point it becomes pure fake difficulty which is where I have to draw the line. The corners should've been given more wiggle room or at least had the pegs lengthened.

Man, Scholar pretty much plays itself at lower levels. The fairy pretty much does all the healing needed on its own.

Yeah the fairy can cover all your healing for ALOT of lower level dungeons if the tank is remotely doing their job right. A couple of bosses will require you to throw a heal now and then. Otherwise you are a dps arcanist with a 5th party member playing healer.

You don't want me owing you
It's 100% sufficient for heals until, like, Haukke or Brayflox (which makes sense since the job is balanced around the idea of being level 30+)

Remember that if you place it it won't follow you and drop casts. Placed fairy = more embraces = less targeted heals = more deeps

A bunch of stuff has weird scaling, like essential dignity basically being benediction at lower levels. CNJ/WHM is the only low level healer that actually has to cast cure (which as we all know cannot crit).

Yeah Scholar is pretty fun and easy to heal with, like you literally just have to remember to reposition the fairy to avoid her eating poo poo. It's definitely more engaging than White Mage is, for me at least.
I'd level mine more, but Im a dumb idiot who likes Red Mage way more.

Yeah, I got very close to the top a couple times and just gave up after falling off too many times. It wouldn't be so bad if one false move didn't send you all the way back down. This is far, far worse than any of the other jumping puzzles for sightseeing logs.

e: except the one in Kugane where you have to jump all the way from the top of the tower onto that loving lamppost. I still can't get that one done.

Oh cool, I'm not the only one taunted by the Kugane lookout point on the stupid light. How the hell do you even get onto it, I tried the Ninja teleport and it wont target it.

Nah you can just peloton off the last wooden beam before you hit the top of the tower and land on it every time

I only have excellent ideas
I only managed that one by having my wife do the eternal bond teleport up onto the roof with me and take turns jumping off. It took fewer attempts than I'd anticipated but I definitely would have been sick of jumping up the loving thing if I'd done it fair and square.

Remember that if you place her you get to resummon the fairy 1-2 times a dungeon, at least, because you moved on without her.

Force of habit. My work schedule has usually landed me with Americans anyway, so I thought I'd cut out the middleman this time!

Turns out there are a lot of sleepless lunatics in the EU too.

It looks like the new event is bugged, the recruiter that's required to start the optional part of the quest didn't spawn.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I was planning to just horde all the eureka crystals and such until the later steps came out so I could see which weapon I liked best and just make it all at once. Turns out geralt won't let you pick up the light grinding quest if you don't have an anemos weapon. Now I have to actually pick which relic to grind. I don't know if I want to make the DRK, SMN, or Ninja weapon. Ive already got the HW DRK relic so I should probably do one of the other two

Amon's Hat from Syrcus Tower is probably the biggest/floofiest hat, yes.
