-Pyros weapons roll a total of 5 substats for each reroll
-Max of 200 substat per roll
-You can roll multiples of the same stat


So in theory you can get a weapon with +1000 Crit on it

So I got +65 Det with my first roll. ...How can I get rid of it so I can start rolling for good stats?

Fill your kettle with light then go allllllll the way north and reroll it at the forge. 2 Light per reroll

I am protector of the innocent! I am the light in the darkness! I am truth! Ally to good! Nightmare to you!

Get two light crystals, use them to roll again. Rinse and repeat.

The Eureka discord thinks that the more rerolls you do, the more likely you are to get multiple stats. Seems too soon to me to call it more than just a few people having good luck, though.

I feel it's unlikely I will "catch up" to top gear levels before 5.0, but anticipate the first vendor I encounter in a new zone will have ilevel 400 white gear for 30K.

I mean you got like 8 months to do that before the next expansion. The only way you couldn't get caught up is if you literally don't play the game

I imagine it'll be like SB where the top-level gear lasts until about the second dungeon and after that you need new stuff, maybe a bit earlier if you're a tank.

For both SB and HW the rule of thumb is that the second dungeon will have gear equal to the previous expansion's best gear, and the third dungeon exceeds it (by 1 item level, as far as the weapon is concerned). So if you get yourself BiS by the end of SB, you are going to be effectively geared until level 75 in whatever the next expansion is.

Mostly yes. Augmented Ironworks is just slightly under most Aery/lvl 55 gear while Augmented Shire is slightly under most lvl 64 crafted.

Swear to God, if job boosts didn't auto-complete all your job quests I'd heavily consider dropping $25 on one instead of going back into POTD. The first 30 levels before you get your job crystal are mind numbing.

Do leves and poo poo to level 12 or so, whatever lets you queue into 1000 Maws with your Squadron. Do Squadron poo poo to 50. Do Roulette's to 70

The best way to level is to not be in a hurry and just doing what's fun (dungeons) until 70. Grinding potd is a cool & good way to make yourself hate the game.

Way faster unless you're running with an actual POTD premade that's doing speed runs.

so does every pyros weapon have the exact same particle effect?

edit: hell yeah sastasha run where the sprout tank doesn't know he's the tank. He keeps trying to pull bosses outside of the arena and pausing for 10-20 seconds after each pull

Got my 50 Logos actions, mount, haircut and horns. Just need to farm crystals to finish out my weapon, and maybe pick up the 6th magicite along the way.

I'll say this for Pyros, it's over faster.

Something terrible has happened. I was dicking around in POTD and the basic idea of how SMN is supposed to work finally clicked with me. I think I like it a lot.

I wanted a new melee job to mess around with, damnit, now I have to level this thing to 70.

I got Ninja up to 59 and 9/10ths so I decided to do a quick POTD run to knock out the rest of the level without having to sit through another queue.

It would've been less painful to go out and FATE grind

No really, you can't
51-60 are the floors everybody spams, so to get a party for 41-50 you're gonna need to queue during peak hours i.e. not 6 am.

pretty convenient

I just realized: there are five XI races but only four instances.

Are we not getting one minion of every race?

Also, why is Wind-Up Elvaan so rare!? :argh:

So in case you were wondering what the odds of you getting a perfect 1k roll on your desired stat for the stormblood relic in Pyros

It's 1 in 100 QUINTILLION

A lot of words about Hello World.

I forgot to reply to this but you wrote a lot, so thank you. I'll be pouring over it for a while, probably will give final omega a shot in the next few days so we'll see how it goes. I always have the reflex of trying to learn the entire fights for every role since I used to be a static leader, but it's clearly a bad idea for this mechanic at least to begin with. After a while I should be able to absorb all of that.

throwing together a new glam for drk because there's too many god drat big swords i like a lot and want to work around

here's what i've currently got for mighty thunderclap but would like some suggestions:



anyone know any good headgear to wear with this? i don't typically wear a lot of helmets but was wondering if there was anything that might match what i've got going on here. something pointy maybe. currently leaning towards hachigane of fending but not dead set on it.

my main drk glam uses a jet black head bandage so i'd like to go for something different than that

I've found optimising the 3 ammo opener was easier, but it's all personal preference.
