Fishing questions: - is there a point to keeping lower level bait once you have the higher level stuff? - How obnoxious does trying to fill out the fishing log get? - Is there a quick way to reference what fish is safe to sell vs save for crafting? I'm chilling and watching fireworks in Limsa as I fish and fill out some levequests and this is the most relaxed I've been in days, it's great.

StrixNebulosa posted:Fishing questions: If you keep any low level bait, then pill bugs is probably the most broadly useful. If you do the Ixal beast tribe quests, certain high rank dailies of theirs require you to catch fish using pill bugs. Though in general, I'd say it's only worth keeping lures just because they're theoretically infinitely reusable. Don't try to fill out the log. There are some fish that only appear during certain weather conditions and certain times of day. Think the annoyance of the sightseeing log, but taken to its completely illogical extreme. Sell 'em all. Don't worry about hanging onto random garbage because it might be useful for crafting. That's the way that your inventory fills up with bullshit. If you need a specific fish for crafting, then go load up with bait and catch it when you need it instead of holding onto it forever.

StrixNebulosa posted:Fishing questions: As far as I understand, filling out the log is a journey. It's not unlike the ARR sightseeing log where certain fish will only show up under certain time and weather, and even then there's layers of RNG. CUL doesn't use fish to level very often, IIRC. The best selling fish are going to be the same ones you're getting for levequests. e: Beaten with basically the same info.

If you think of fishing as anything more than a chill way to spend some time you're going to end up frustrated

StrixNebulosa posted:Fishing questions: They added freshwater and saltwater boilies to the game with ShB. You literally only need other bait for the specific big fish, since the boilies will catch nearly everything available from 1-50, including the Ixal daily fish. The downside being they'll catch nearly everything in the pool if you're just trying to catch one specific fish. Allarion fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Aug 13, 2019 |

So if I read all of that advice right... - Fishing log is a chill journey I only work on when I want to. If I stress over it I am doing it wrong, and absolutely cheat and look up stuff that requires specific times/weathers. - Keep only the highest level bait that I'm using + pillbugs - Sell everything Sounds good. I'm treating all of the crafting/gathering stuff as chill stuff to do whenever I need to take a break from killing things. I'll probably finish the respective logs for everything in, oh, ten years? More?

I fish when I really need certain items I don't want to buy and I have a show to watch on the side. I don't fish as much as I share in the fishing experience. If I happen to get what I need, so much the better (I don't fish often outside of leveling to cap every expansion, and that's surprisingly fast)

Just finished Susano, probably my favorite boss so far! I usually find it hard to keep up with everything that's happening on-screen in trials, but the field wasn't all that big, the AoEs were all nicely telegraphed and easy to avoid, and everyone clustering together made Cure III amazingly useful. That ridiculously huge-rear end sword and the tank holding it back

I finished Shadowbringers last night!  Big ol' spoilers: Holy moly that final dungeon is insane. Everything is just going to poo poo. The weather is "Termination". The first boss is just nonstop AoEs, the second boss is a giant trash mob and a DPS check before it explodes on you. And then comes that final backdrop of the world burning beneath you and you're in motherfucking space and you can see so many stars and there's meteors raining down and the music is pounding and aaaaAAAAAA  Waaaait what the gently caress? Why did I look like an Ascian all of a sudden? Maybe our souls were from an Ascian that Emet-Selch used to know before the Sundering? I'm intrigued. Holy poo poo, Hades? Well that's one way to get him in FFXIV. lol Alphinaud just passes out after swimming for miles lol Urianger is just floating in the water as the camera fades out Elidibus is the only one left! Let us go to the moon so we can kick his rear end already! HOLY poo poo ZENOS IS BACK BABY  FINAL BOSS OF 6.0 CONFIRMED?!What a wild ride that was. I'm hungry for more MSQ already. Now I can start leveling other jobs and unlocking all the new stuff!

I been working on getting all my crafters/gatherers to 60 while I wait for my wife to catch up on the MSQ. Since my bag space / retainer space is getting close to 0 I should just sell off all the random crap I been keeping and only gather what I need to level up my crafters right?

As a player returning after Stormblood and maining BLM, I don't think I've ever hated a dungeon more than the 80 story dungeon. Thematically it's amazing, but every single boss fight and trash pull seems designed specifically to mess with casters. First two bosses are aoe nightmares, and the trash pulls even have those fixating mobs that require movement to clear debuffs. This dungeon gets removed from EX roulette in 5.1, right? It's a wonderful, fantastic story dungeon that I never want to play again.

The dungeon has a boss that's literally just trash piles that let you stand in one place and do the BLM AOE rotation, the best AOE rotation in the game. It's great to run as a BLM.

Ran Shisui of the Violet Tides, things went well until we got to the interior. We're in the middle of a trash mob when suddenly one of the DPS runs off, even taking the time to type "don't be a wuss" into chat. None of us followed them because we were, you know, busy with the trash mob. They died almost immediately.

Hogama posted:The statement from Hythlodaeus, your giant pal in the DMV, was that your and Ardbert's souls are both unmistakably reincarnated fragments of a known Ascian/Amaurotine soul (corresponding to your character's sex, Hythlodaeus uses either "her" or "him" when talking about this mystery Amaurotine). Emet-Selch sees you briefly as one right after Ardbert joins with you, which suggests the Warrior of Light's soul is approaching a more "complete" state of that someone that Emet-Selch recognizes. And with all the mention in Amaurot about an unnamed 14th member of the Convocation who disagreed with the whole Zodiark scheme, the implication is that this is who the Warrior of Light shares their history with. I wonder if the WoL (continuing ShB MSQ spoilers) or at least their Amaurotian precursor is the one who summoned Hydaelyn in the first place, in defiance of E-S and Zodiark?

Used the marketboard and just got a bunch - can't use 'em until level 15 tho! Anyways, this is the perfect game:   I'm watching a documentary and fishing and I can feel my shoulders relaxing. I'm also mixing it up with a little botany (filling out that log is a similar "yep I'll be doing this for ten years" deal) and admiring the scenery and ahhh.
