Pretty much the only weapon I can use on RDM anymore is the Balder Tuck.

I'm hoping for some decent dungeon drops. The level 60 Doman weapon from the Forgotten Knight is alright. All the primal ones are both hideous and expensive.

That's got some amazing looking weapons but they're a pain in the rear end to farm. I haven't even seen them all yet.

Recently got the gun from it and it's one of the silliest weapons I've seen.

Here are all the Abanian weapons I have for the classes I've capped.

RDM: Schlaeger


WAR: Sparth


SAM: Kotetsu


BLM: Teiwaz


SCH: Ethica


Sadly, I appear to have misplaced (read: pawned for GC seals) my Enhancing Sword and Ritter Shield, so no PLD shot today. I've also never won the SMN book, but I think it's similar to the SCH one.

The MNK weapon is sick, but I have not leveled MNK so I never bothered rolling on it the time I did see it drop. Abania has great weapons all around, imho.

EDIT: Also of note for farmers: The RDM and SAM weapons have some recolours that may be easier to get. The craftable Silvergrace Rapier and the Storm Captain's Rapier for Maelstrom have the same model. The SAM sword Kotetsu is copied by the Serpent Captain's Katana, if you're in Adders. Those are the only ones with copycats though, so far.

I only have excellent ideas


Third time was the charm! If you're on the fence about pushing through Eureka, or dipped out immediately after finishing your relic, I really recommend giving BA a shot. It's fun, challenging without being brutal, not quite like anything else in the game, and on Primal at least the Discord community around it is extremely helpful and friendly.

i get that PF acts up and i've also inadvertently left locks on for specific classes when someone leaves

but i'm also running into a non-zero amount of parties that all their dps slots are set to melee only. not as in each individual spot has a specific need, but every dps slot can only be filled by MNK, SAM, DRG, or NIN. and it's like?? why don't you want ranged??????

Someone bitched me out in a Seiryu EX earlier for not taking him back to center for one of the double-lasers so the 1 and 2 waymarks didn't make sense

On the one hand I get that there's some preconceived script to be followed, but on the other, no one told me what that script was, up to now I've been fine just winging stack positions in groups I've been in. usually plenty of time to work it out during the cast

sounds like a dipshit because those beams frequently come after very heavy movement mechanics so it's really tough to control him. that's why people typically mark the healers, so you know where to go

That was my thinking as well, he doesn't cleave or really do anything without one hell of a windup, so why make the melee's job harder? (hell, come to it, war's a melee too, positionals or not; why would I want to waste my time and inevitably clip a GCD dragging those meatheads around?)

Next time I'll just clear the 1 and 2 waymarks after the pull if they put em down, see what happens for Science

Hey, quick question that has probably been answered a million times. I got ARR through Twitch Prime, got Heavensward through the free promotion going on, and I'm rapidly approaching 60 and looking to keep going. I went to pre-order Shadowbringers because I heard it includes Stormblood, but the store page says this:

quote:

Please note that the FINAL FANTASY® XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS expansion pack also includes FINAL FANTASY® XIV: HEAVENSWARD & FINAL FANTASY® XIV: STORMBLOOD, which will be provided at release on July 2, 2019.

Does this mean that if I pre-order Shadowbringers I won't actually get access to Stormblood until July 2?

This is what I did but for 70s. It was fun and not too difficult but I'm for sure not gonna do it for MNK, NIN, and SAM each sitting comfortably at 32, 32, and 56 respectively.

I've gotten to the end of the current storyline and while figuring out what to do till Shadowbringer I got it into my head to try out some of that Alphascape Savage content. Since I've never really done any high-end content beyond a few tries of Suzano EX when that was recent and I only got a small group to do this in voice with, are there any tips for doing this with pubbies? Mostly just curious if there is any weird etiquette or whatever I need to be aware of (since I imagine that kinda content attracts the more tryhard-y folks) and if there are any good guides to follow for the fights?

Also, how bad of an idea is it to jump in as a WHM like that? :v:

You have to be a homeowner to garden, they don’t let just anyone do it. I missed if you were on Excalibur or not, if you’re not there might be houses available that you can save up for. If you are on Excal then lol. Your other option is joining an fc with a house and getting gardening privileges from them. You can also buy flowerpots for fc rooms/apartments (which are a lot cheaper and more available than houses) but it’s really the same.

Ugh really :(

I'm on Odin with a bunch of IRL friends and nobody has a house. One of them is part of a FC that has guild housing.

Finally got every class (except BLU) to 50. Now I can clean so much ugly old gear out. :toot:

Also is it just me or does AST healing sub 50 feel really weak compared to WHM and SCH? Or maybe I'm missing something. Pissvale was the worst as AST whereas I kind of actually liked it as the other healers.

Yeah we're active, and have a pack of newbies right now if you're still leveling. Not that a lot of us aren't game to help out with levelling content anyway, but it's nice to have people you're progressing with and for whom old story beats are still fresh.

You probably just had a bad party with AST. At AV's level sync, AST is actually a stronger healer overall than WHM with Essential Dignity, cheaper basic healing, and the ability to Bole the tank.

There shouldn't be too much difference between AST and WHM sub-50, tbh. Cure 2 and Benefic 2 are very similar, Regen and Aspected Benefic heal similar amounts per cast. Even then AST should be ahead with Essential Dignity at that level.

It could be a badly geared tank souring the experience if anything.
