The glasses are the Endless Summer Glasses which is from the 2018 Moonfire Faire and the sword is the Ghost Barque Katana from Sirensong Sea. The rest, Sky Pirate's Jacket of Striking, Expeditioner's Gloves and High House Breeches are all craftable/tradable pieces you can probably get cheap off the MB.

Thanks! Hope you don't mind, but I whipped up a wholly unoriginal Monk take on it.



Really should have waited until day before taking the shot. And learn to gpose better.

Funny, the day after I grind out the tokens for it, goons go and beat me to the punch on the screenshot game. Better late than never!

Shinten spam always makes me feel like a proper fencer, unlike RDM which just poses, so a straight blade is perfect.

I'm a little late to the party, but since we're SAM posting - The 375 gear actually makes for a pretty strong look on a Roe, only thing I'm missing that I wouldn't mind having is the Bardmom Katana but that's just a matter of time.

The entire point of my SAM gear is to look like I'm playing XI again so the Osode is top tier. I'm honestly sad that tanks and drg didn't get their proper haubergeon.

All your SAMglam posting prompted me to actually eqip the sword for the first time and now I'm just staring dumbly at all these skills with no idea of what I should use or even what to bind where.

So if you need me I'll just be over here in my ley lines quad casting Flare instead.

You know, it occurs to me that with the addition of Dancer and Gunbreaker they could give us a Kingdom Hearts Crossover Event and have appropriate weapons for every class.

Come on S-E, replace the Garo event with stupid-rear end Disney weapons for the Grimdark Angstfest expansion. Please.

As someone who was recently in your shoes, I have a protip about playing SAM without learning any of the skillnames: Put the various combos in directions related to which job flower thing they fill up, and then just fill them up for your special moves. One flower is a DoT, two is an AoE, three is your big crit generator.

Yeah, this. Especially if paying on a controller, then you can even map them according to their respective positional.
It takes a bit of doing to map the combos, but that's a one time process at least.

I should level DRK before PLD. I’m working on getting all the jobs up but PLD seems so boring to me even though I know they get cool stuff. And the changes to DRK look awesome in ShB.

You can always wait for Shadowbringers, where the pruning means even Paladin, the job with the most skills, will be under 36 skills (aka 3 bars)

If you just want suggestions for button keybinds, here's mine



Second row is just shift bindings of the first row, third row is alt bindings of 1-5 and qe, with c, v, shift c, shift v, and ` for the last 5 buttons.

I also find alt r, alt t, and ctrl 1-5 not too annoying to hit if you need ~even more buttons~ for macros and what not. (I hopefully won't need them in ShB, but right now it's got my remaining role actions like shirk and intervention)

Best thing I did was to bind Ctrl and Alt to two of my extra mouse buttons. It doubled my available hotkeys while improving ergonomics.

I just love this hat. When leveling I never really cared about what my gear looked like unless there was a hat I didn't like, then I'd swap this one in.

I kinda forgot to glam my weapon after I bought the 400 tomestone one but I don't have any interesting ones anyway, I mostly just try and match with the sheath color. I think SAM looks pretty good with the ironworks/allagan techy stuff, though.

There's a few - some of the more popular ones are ENB, Reshade, Stormshade (a fork of Reshade). Each has community-created presets as well.

Man the MSQ is so long my god

I'm almost wrapping up the first one, then it turns out there is a SECOND one before you even get to start Heavensward. I mean I like having the structure but this is a lot of quests.

If I outlevel the quests can I start to turn them in as a crafting class for loads of crafting exp

No, normal quests can only be handed in by a combat class. Unless a quest is explicitly flagged for DoH you can't get crafter XP out of it.

You also can't turn them in on an unleveled combat class because while the game lets you start most quests as anything so long as one class meets the level req, you can't finish the quest unless the class you're in actually meets the level req.

Enjoy your 60 someodd quests worth of filler before things actually pick up. :shepicide:

The ARR MSQ is definitely the most fillery and uneven of the game, it gets a lot more consistently interesting once Heavensward begins.

Boooo

Is there any sort of benefit to switching classes halfway and like, starting to turn in quests as a MCH or something? Because they give great exp right now but I am out leveling them.
