I haven't really been doing Eureka much, what's all this with rolling on your 405 relic weapons? Do you also do it with the armor?

When you complete the Pyros step the Eureka weapon is stripped of all substats. It has weapon damage and main stat and vitality. You then have to grind light to make crystals to roll substats with.

At first you get one line worth of stats. A line is up to +200 of a stat. As you reroll you will see a resuly with two lines. You want to accept that to lock in two lines as your new baseline. And so on until you reach five lines.

None of this has anything to do with the armor.

Yeah, the armor is fairly easy to obtain, though you do have to grind up to at least elvl 50 and obtain all the logos actions, so it's not very quick if you weren't already doing eureka anyway. They have appropriate stats for i390 armor, and on top of that they have five materia slots!

More importantly, when you upgrade them in Hydatos, they glow!

Also a lot of them are actually BiS.

BLM and SAM BiS is almost entirely 390 Hydatos armor. A lot of jobs use 2-3 pieces because it turns out being able to jam five pieces of grade 6 materia in them is Just That Good.

Warning: using auto-targeting shukuchi is a good way to get yourself dead on bosses who stand outside of arenas that you can fall out of. Like Sephirot.

Because it goes to the center of the hitbox :v:

I would kill to be able to consolidate a combo down to one button. My hotbars would become so much cleaner and it isn't like there's a huge difference in MECHANICAL SKILLZ between pressing 111 and 123.

Yeah it wouldn't work as well for classes that don't have static combos or some element of RNG involved like MCH, but they're really the minority.

Now that I know what to look for, I need to see if someone out there has Ektachrome or HP5 presets.

Especially the HP5, I shot more of that than anything else in my portfolio.

Most of them have a good amount of ss as is, which is part of the draw. The other part is a fuckload of crit materia.

Yeah, last time I checked BLM uses all five which is insane. They only need two raid drops for BiS, and those are just from O9S! drat.

DRG uses two pieces... Which also changed one of our rings to the Yama ring. Which is weird.

Re: elemental armor being easy to obtain, I just found out from a friend trying to do that literally just a few minutes ago, that you have to finish the pagos weapon first. He finished getting all his logos actions tonight and the armor guy would have nothing to do with him :(

e:f,b on the BLM stuff.

That is a good gif, good job!

Them just saying "okay every combo works like pvp now, deal with it" would be super awful and I desperately hope Shadowbringers does nothing of the sort. Like you said, some would feel weird and lots of people just dont want that functionality in the first place.

But having the OPTION to have one button running down the entire Goring Blade combo would be neat and wouldn't harm anybody.

So I finally finished leveling up the gathering jobs to cap and I'm trying to figure out if there is any real way to gear it up outside of just buying whatever is best off the marketboard (the good stuff seems super expensive). Is there something worthwhile to farm to get the gil to buy the stuff that I can do with crappy gear or should I look into the yellow scrip stuff?

im still trying to figure out scholar. im not 50 yet (48) so i dont have lustrate which i think will smooth things out a lot for me

my gear might also be terrible, but it seems like tanks are consistently hovering around 50% for most of the dungeon. Granted i'm trying to heal as little as possible, but even when i do adlo it seems like it doesn't really DO that much. usually i bane big pulls and then drop a sacred soil and ignore the tank until they get super low, if it's a big pull i'll rouse WD but otherwise i feel like i'm not really DOING that much (other than making dungeons faster)

Scrips. Do the weekly custom deliveries and get some cheap upgrades with the scrips they give.

the yellow scrip 350 gear is very good and the only thing you can't farm with it is HQ of the highest rank stuff (evergleam, etc) so go with that, its easy to get with deliveries
