So, I'm currently sitting in 380 crafted gear. What's my next step as far as gearing up? I know I can trade the Rhakshasa gear for some 390 in Rhalgars, but how do I make the jump to 400?

Most cool ideas, designs, settings, etc. are unfortunately hosed up by KMMO grindy poo poo and it's depressing.

I maintain if you want an MMO where you make your party and you have granular control over them, just play Guild Wars 1 it'll scratch that itch. FFXI to a much lesser extent, and FFXII is still a good game.

There's not many games in general that have you actually build your party out to a more granular degree. FFXII is a good one, Dragon's Dogma is also good.

Alphascape savage drops i400 gear, or you can buy i390 tomestone gear and upgrade it to i400 with items you can either get from alphascape savage or from trading in the ivalice raid coins (you'd need a full set of all three per upgrade item.)

I think with weekly limits you can't go from 0 to a full set of genesis before the expansion drops on a single class. Maybe I'm wrong actually. Seems the max amount of genesis you can get is 8100 until ShB drops.

A full set of current tome gear is 6385 for every slot (including a second 390 ring) so even if you skimp a little you can get a full i399(400 with a O9S ring) set before the expansion.

There was actually an MMO with exactly this concept called Granado Espada. It was a neat idea that was completely ruined by it being a KMMO with terribly punishing grinds.

Oh wow this game actually came out? I remember reading about it back in the day, but after playing one KMMO I never tried (or even followed the development of) another.

I remember that one, and I also remember wishing it wasn't a lovely KMMO and could actually let its premise be as fun as it could be. Kind of a neat setting, too.

Also keep in mind it will become the new shire gear, purchasable with poetics and probably cheaper, so just pick the set for the class you want to level first and it’ll work out just fine.

Yoshi-P showed up on Asura for their Ixion stress test and said the Shadowbringers benchmark is delayed, but will hopefully be out before the end of May.

For comparison, Heavensward benchmark came out on Apr. 27, 2015, about a month before the Job Actions LIVE, and Stormblood benchmark came out on Apr. 28, 2017, also about a month before the Job Actions LIVE.

This game had an insane OST; part of the wildly expensive development was commissioning like 4+ full pieces of BGM for every single zone (and there were a lot of zones).

Shame it could never live up to its legacy of the successor to Ragnarok Online.

I think in general if your server:
Had lower prices than the Data center average
Had a closed economy (balmung) meaning your crystal prices couldn't be fed by bots
Had a slow economy.

This data centre thing is gonna be a net gain (which is most servers honestly).

This only probably hurts servers with inflated MB prices, and even then I bet a lot of people wont' bother going cross server for goods soon.

The economy wasn’t shaken up as much as I thought it would. My weekly MB shenanigans have been pretty flat since 4.57 and the markets I’m in haven’t moved that much; I made 4k more this week versus last week.

I'd sacrifice a raid tier for more glam chest slots.

Related. I just need one more shaft from Deltascape 4.0 to get the last piece I'd ever want for glam and it never pops anymore. I wasn't a huge fan of most of the armor this expansion, but I thought they did a super job with the Deltascape stuff. Especially the SAM armor.

EDIT: And as the prophecy foretold, bitch about something, queue pops and I win my shaft with a 98 making some other poor dude upset he didn't win anything.

Along with more dresser slots they need to let us put all AF gear in the armoire. Let us put in relic weapons while we are at it.

Do your daily Frontline roulettes and get all the clothes you want in a few months. Going for the mounts is a whole other ballgame, because they require that you actually win.

You're not for awhile. No changes at launch. Priority is adding more plates > letting you change glams more places > more slots in the toilet. 5.1 at the earliest for anything, unless they changed their plans.

I mean, there have been several times where they've said, "we just barely got this thing ready before the presentation!" Hrothgar, several music zones, the Shadowbringers trailer itself...

It seems likely that they're running a bit behind.

I hope the team isn't exhausting themselves to cross the finish line like HW, but I also hope this won't mean ShB will be rushed, because I like the idea of this expac and it has promise, and I'd hate to see it get petered out to meet the deadline.

At least they buffed the XP you get for the chocobuddy so it's not completely awful anymore. Of course, the best time to level it was exploiting the BLU XP bonus before they changed it :v:
