Any job with good enough burst to kill it before it does so, or SCH, since the attack only does your max HP, so you can Adlo through it.

Yeah, you just need to burst it enough, which again, RDM is pretty good for. The glamour change I want most (aside from the obvious more slots/plates) would be a mirror option for all gear/hair. It shouldn't be that difficult to implement right?

Square Enix told Square Enix there was only eighteen months to make the new game, so Square Enix really had no choice in the matter. Also sure, they wanted to start making cash again because they're a greedy rear end business, but their lovely work nine friggin years ago should not be used as a valid excuse for why the game is lovely now. Especially when this game is gonna run for another decade.

FuzzySlippers posted:I meant like is the XP from MSQ roulette worth doing after the bonus if you are still leveling? The dungeons/MSQ dungeons themselves don't give much, so it's all in the roulette bonus. You get decent XP regardless of level if you run your highest level dungeon, but running roulettes after your bonus generally isn't worth it.

50/60 dungeons give like no XP I think so don't run those. If you're level 50 exactly then Aurum Vale is still decent XP and can get you to 51 so you can start running Cold Vigil.

Thanks good to know. My current DPS leveling strategy is mostly just log in once a day to do my roulettes but if I feel like grinding a bit this weekend I'll probably do HoH. I dungeon leveled on tank/healer but that'd probably be pretty miserable on a DPS with the queue times.

If you level your Grand Company squadron you can level to 60 decently that way, but it can take a while to get them leveled up. Not sure if they're going away with trusts or whatever, but consider leveling them up if you make another character. FuzzySlippers posted:I dungeon leveled on tank/healer but that'd probably be pretty miserable on a DPS with the queue times. It's not too bad since you can do a few other things while waiting for the queue, like leveling gatherers/crafters or staring at catgirls.

The Black Stones posted:If someone can make it to aetheryte just let them attune. It makes Pagos so lovely because you have to beg for rides and hope they’re willing to cart you around without any teleporting until you hit 23 where it becomes even slightly bearable and not bad at 25. It used to require 30 and 32 instead of 23 and 25. YOU HAVE IT EASY AND IT HAS MADE YOU SOFT.

How expensive is it to get the things that let you dye the Wyrm set armor? I’m approaching level 50, and kind of want to be a white Dragoon. I’m Cid Justice in DGKK if there’s anyone that can help. Game is addicting as gently caress. Been grinding dungeons to get the Sleipnir barding for my chocobo.

Now that I'm starting to get more classes to 70 I gotta figure out good glamours for roes I'm currently using (all with Elegant Rimless Glasses): Caster (Shire)  Ranged DPS (Shire)  Melee DPS (that set from MSQ)  Tank (WoD Tank set)  Healer (Midan Coat of Healing)  I like the coat, but I am iffy on the collar...but I think I found a workaround

A Sometimes Food posted:Well should be trivial. I got the other birds fairly easily. Bismark appropriately is my white whale. 80 totems and counting. It's faster at this point for me to grind to 99 totems than go for moogle tomes probably. Hello fellow Bismarck suffering friend. I started grinding for that bird before they added the 99 totems -> mount system. And since I determined I didn't want any of the weapons for glam or gearing up alts, I did what I always do with things that clog up my inventory: discard them. All in all, I've probably cleared Whale EX over 150 times.  Worth it.

If you have the time for them, that is. Praetorium takes a long drat time and Castrum takes just a little less but if you're ethically okay with being a lovely DPS then they are completely mindless. You can just run up and mash a combo through most fights and mess around on your phone or PC until the cutscenes are over and you get half a level or more for it in the end. It is not at all the most efficient method of leveling but I am a terrible person so I will take the slow easy XP over the faster XP that requires effort and engagement.

You're conflating the people who actually write code with the people who make strategic decisions for some reason. On a completely different note: I finally finished a Pagos weapon. Got to Pyros and found out that I need to be 41 to unlock all the aetherytes, but I'm only 38. Seriously unsure if I want to go to Pagos again to try and amass enough XP to hit that.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:I feel like they were joking. You get half a level from Praetorium if you have the roulette bonus, you sure as heck don't get close to that without? MSQ roulette Praetorium got me about 5.6 million xp at level 69 and 4.7 million of that was the roulette bonus.

aers posted:You get half a level from Praetorium if you have the roulette bonus, you sure as heck don't get close to that without? EDIT: I've never had a house or even cared to have one so I never felt the allure of orchestrion rolls. There are entirely too many minions, including some locked behind exclusive events and merchandise, so I've never wanted to have all of those. Back during the ARR and early Heavensward days, I spent some time trying to have all the mounts but Ravana Ex ultimately killed that dream. I thought, perhaps, if nothing else I should have all of the Emotes. So I've been dutifully doing daily Frontlines roulettes only to stumble by chance today upon some emotes locked behind Mythic Clan Mark Logs. I've decided I don't really want anymore.

I realized last night that cryptic seals and damascene cloths go for a lot cheaper than they used to so if you were looking at a kirin's osode or vermillion cloak to complete your boomer outfit it might be a good time to jump on it
