Question for housing nerds:

How long does the NPC keep your furniture stored after the auto-demolition?

From the SQEX site:

quote:

* Players will have thirty-five days to redeem items from the resident caretaker before they are made irredeemable. Items belonging to a free company estate can only be retrieved by members with the authorization to purchase or relinquish land. Items belonging to a private estate can only be retrieved by the owner.

It's not like they can use electroshock through your keyboard if you insist on doing things in a weird way. A more specific primer on job rotations at 50 / 60 / 70 would benefit new players who want to play better, and the people who don't care wouldn't have paid attention to it anyway.

I think my favourite pug mechanic has to be the black and white circles. I love every single time I get a black circle and run towards a white circle player only for them to scream and run away from me.

Every job should have access to Rescue imo.

“esuna” I post into party chat watching the 4 stacks of poison refresh

“esuna” I plead as I watch it refresh again

“esuna?” I inquire watching those 4 stacks hit 45s

the healer is dead. I am next.

the level 35 lancer is not long for this world.

Most of the time it's not worth cleansing poison, especially at low level, especially if it's going to be refreshed again.

On the 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 pattern you look for the 4th color in the pattern and start on that one. Then you move onto the 1st color tile after if explodes. Run around always following just behind the explosion. You might lose a bit of dps by moving, but it's a 100% safe way to deal with that mechanic.

I'm late but this really isn't even necessary. Just stand on 2 right at the border to 1 and move to 1 as soon as the explosion starts. Then move back to the same spot and do it again.
Don't wait until the explosion has completely resolved, as long as you aren't on the platform when the explosion starts you're fine.

Considering the reference to a level 35 lancer, that's almost certainly Aiatar's poison, which you really, really want to Esuna. (Shoutout to the good old days where SCH's only way to deal with poison in Brayflox was Adlo and Whispering Dawn.)

But the extra 5 role actions were added a week ago, and before that, a lot of 50+ healers didn't have Esuna slotted at all, which is the main reason they were added in the first place.

Yes, that is correct. It still doesn't require you to be level 70 to use, as the post suggested as a reason for why people aren't using it, still. People aren't using it because it's Esuna in a dungeon, and barely needed in most content.. so it isn't a relevant button outside of very limited of situations.

I will repeat what I said back from whichever raid it was that would throw doom on players at the start of Stormblood:

Healer A: I thought you had esuna slotted?

Healer B: I thought YOU had esuna slotted!

*drg dies, healers look to the camera, shrugs*

V O4, that was the raid.

I did this all the time on O4 because I (and the other healer apparently) always forgot Exdeath had Doom.

This doesn't really work if you don't have good ping but if you do it really does work well.

On the subject of advanced training halls I think that would be fantastic, the existing stuff is nice but very much geared for four person content. If nobody explains to you how to tank swap, how to use shirk, how to manage co-healing, etc., the game certainly isn't going to tell you, and I think the ideal purpose of such halls would be to fill in gaps that under ideal circumstances would be filled in by the community.

I'd also like to see a sort of interactive glossary of markers and indicators. Running Alphascape and Suzaku it's surprising how many people grasp their own rotation but get confused about what flare markers mean, or how the purple AoE puddle interacts with the stack marker, or even just to stand in meteor pads. It's just a lack of exposure, I think, or an honest failure to internalize mechanics they might have only seen a handful of times.

I'm pretty sure the only reason that O4N had Doom is that they realized that there were literally no cleanseable debuffs in max level 4.0 content.

It's an FFV nod. Exdeath almost always starts the fight by casting Doom on a party member. Making it specifically an Esunable Doom is probably for that reason, though.

Sure, it's not needed. But if you run around behind the explosions you're always 100% safe.

So I'm going to fantasy-Asia in Stormblood next. Stopped playing last night as I was sent to Limsa Lomnisa presumably to get a boat to take me there. Hopefully the zones there aren't hellish deserts full of giant insects.

edit: By the way, that story fight against Zenos was surprisingly hard for a single-player duty. I almost feel like it would have been easier if I played as a healer or tank (I did it as Samurai).

one of the recurring themes of SB is that the solo duties have dialed up to 11. it's why the paladin sb questline is really fun even though it's ultimately just an anime tournament arc.

So I can’t beat that recent “Will of the Moon” quest where you fight whatever Dotharl lady.

I’m a Paladin (and only a Paladin, unfortunately) at iLevel 355, but that last phase I just can’t beat her before the timer is out.

Am I missing something or do I just need to gear up?

...or level a DPS class? Aaaaaaa

I was probably that ilvl as a healer when I did it, its just a really tight dps check at the end and you have to kill the adds or whatever I forget incredibly quickly. If you gently caress it up 2 or 3 times do you get echo? idk

I did it as a paladin ezpz with about 6 ilvls higher than you. These questions will sound either stupid or condescending, but are you doing your rotation right? Using FoF and Requiescat? Are you in sword oath?

For a solo story duty that's tight. I was shocked the first time I did it and failed, just because I stopped half way through and took a drink and a bite of a sandwich. Wow yoship that's hosed up

I managed it as a sub 350 PLD, by completely ignoring the adds in the last phase and just tearing down Sadu. Stay in sword oath, pop your defensive CDs and eat some of the AoEs so you can stay on her - the duty regen will keep up with eating the add damage and a few AoEs.

Edit: vv It's just the three pot golem adds right? Or am I misremembering?
