Just curious, in Heavensward, when do we normally get gear that’s stronger than the Augmented Ironworks Gear?

FrenchBen posted:Oh thank everything for that, CT was a painful ride near the end; will check the rest out after the regular story for Heavensward is completed Just be warned, it can really drag on because each and every boss has their own individual raid and prerequisite quests. The ending is pretty good, but hoo boy does it take a while to get there.

It's usually just one or two quick quests between each one.

The 57 dungeon is likely the first place where Augmented Ironworks will start to feel a little out of date, although it's still perfectly doable.

This is also why folks basically point to the relic weapon grind as being useful for glam gear, and for access to whatever side content they create that ties into it (a few trials in ARR, and Eureka and Bozja for SB/SHB), and not for actual long term utility of the weapon itself. It's great getting a weapon that's the highest ilevel possible for that level range! It's also going to be replaced with a dungeon drop 5 levels into the next expansion.

Good gear only lasts 6 months, at most, but a good glam is forever.

Is there any information on what the Eureka/bozja equivalent relic grind area will be for Endwalker?

Also, its actually a 12 part series where each part deals with a single short section and boss, cut up with story quests and plot, so its fairly bite sized to progress through at your leisure. Imho, Crystal Tower was a bit of a slog overall but I thought the last raid part in the void was pretty kickass. Feldegast42 fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Oct 16, 2021 |

I am so freaking addicted to this game it's not even funny I just finished ARR and I'm working on getting every single job up to at least 30 so I can start on shadowbringers afterwards At least I got my Regalia Mount  but what's funny is I almost want to play Triple Triad more than the actual game. I don't know why but it's such a good mini gameAnyway hi fellow players!  I'm on Cactuar because it's my favorite character in the FF series

Nailed ( I've spent like 250 hours in this game). MMORPG Dungeon diver? Pff. Done. RPG class/alt builder? Yup, no talent trees or w/e but new job every time I get bored. If they add 1/5 of Stardew/AC to the Islands I dunno. I guess I'll still buy and play some action games? Maybe? Like GoW, Bayonetta 3, but this is such a fulfilling game. squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Oct 16, 2021 |

Lmao Heavensward ending "Oh no, the ascians are escaping again, what do we do? I know! Chucks crystal at them Also lol that the final boss was the knights of the round summon Also also, the PC is kind of a dumbass. Like, why would you let the guy who has severe problems controlling one eye hold both of them?

They just stand by with a gormless look on their face while the bad guys chew scenery and power up, then punch their open palm while smiling and nodding before kicking their rear end. It happens multiple times.

In the scene just prior, (3.0 ending) WoL stands there with a stern look on their face while Thordan monologues and completes his transformation to god-king. That fight would’ve been so much easier if we stepped in one minute sooner.

That fight would’ve been so much easier if we stepped in one minute sooner. I could at least see the argument of ”screw it, let him do it now, and use up all of that stored up prayer energy instead of leaving it lying around for the next archbishop who gets delusions of grandeur to become an even harder battle”. Still no defense for not immediately squishing Nidhogg’s other eye, though.

It happens multiple times. Oh yeah (first Stormblood ending spoiler) Zenos has the WoL loving pegged in his "we're not so different, you and I" monologue. The WoL just loves to fight. Any other motivations are secondary to that.

Well, I finished 5.0 last night so it'll be on to the epilogue stuff next. I'm really enjoying this game, and the plot/writing is such a breath of fresh air after the last 10ish years of WoW's fumbling around.

I did some light googling but still cant figure out what they're used for Unlike most of the Alexander items, those are traded in for materials as part of the Anima weapon questline. Sabina in Idyllshire will give you one unidentifiable bone for three bolts. Those weapon require a lot of different materials along the way that can be bought in many different places. You can also get the unidentifiable bones/ores//etc with beast tribe currency, or for hunt currency, or just with poetics tomestones. I think they used to be a Diadem thing, but that got completely reworked for the Ishgardian Restoration and doesn't have them anymore.

McCloud posted:Are these anima weapons worth getting? If you like the look, yeah, I guess. Don't get them just for the stats, they're very marginally better than Poetics weapons. It is a lot of work and something you should try to do over a long period of time rather than grind out all at once.

Interesting news, I'm watching a streamer's coverage of Yoshi-P's interviews in recent stuff, and he highlighted something I haven't seen talked about : according to Yoshi-P, from the start of April to the start of October, FF14 has grown by two million accounts. And that this is why they're struggling so hard to cope with server issues and population: had someone suggested to the team in March that they'd grow by 2,000,000 accounts over six months, they would have been laughed out of the room. So bear that in mind when taking into account how hard they're working to cope with such unprecedented success. Edit: Wrong FF14 thread, but gently caress it, it stays.

Every expansion has a twelve raid series (except ARR which has 13 one of which doesn't have a boss so it is also 12 really) and Alexander is it. They released in 4 raid segments originally.

So basically what I want to do is at least get the soul crystals for the main jobs like conjurer, gladiator, etc because I want to find be able to explore different classes in the future and find which one I like the best. My "main" job is Black Mage, which is fine and I like it, but it can be a bit boring at times Does that make sense? Please correct me if I've made any weird assumptions!

Also, if you have fun playing classes at very low level then go wild, but know that once you have finished Heavensward you can powerlevel a level 1 job to 20 in 15 minutes or so which skips some of the most tedious levels where you have no abilities and can't queue for dungeons.

I was just wondering about the "so" since that implied you thought you needed to do that, and "Shadowbringers" since you're still 2 expansions away. But if that's what you wanna do to try them all out then go for it. Just keep in mind that you won't have THAT good of an idea how they play by 30.
