Regular melds with an eye to Craftsmanship and CP, along with Bouillabaisse or Tsai, should get you 100% HQ every time. I imagine master crafts will look similar, but you'll probably fit in an extra Trained Finesse before Great Strides and maybe use Veneration on the first two Groundworks.

The last 4 raid tiers I've gotten a macro that's worked with my set. The only time I've been close to not being able to craft something was in 5.05 and that was because the craftsman req was kinda insane compared to alphascape and I barely skirted by because I always go hard on my melds. I think people already have an idea what the 2 star reqs will be though and have stuff lined up.

my macro for making the level 90 stuff (like crafting/gathering gear, sykon bavarois, purple scrip collectables) is this: /ac Reflect <wait.3> /ac Manipulation <wait.2> /ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2> /ac "Innovation" <wait.2> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Great Strides" <wait.2> /ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3> /ac "Veneration" <wait.2> /ac "Groundwork" <wait.3> /ac "Groundwork" <wait.3> /ac "Groundwork" <wait.3> imo reflect is still good as it saves you a prep touch to get to 10 inner quiet stacks this worked for me as soon as i got my HQ crafting set, and only got easier as i melded it up.

Kerrzhe posted:my macro for making the level 90 stuff (like crafting/gathering gear, sykon bavarois, purple scrip collectables) is this: The main reason for MuM over Reflect is that 5x Prep and 2x Groundwork lets you squeeze maximum efficiency out of Waste Not II. The aforementioned rotation also gives you an Innovation-boosted Trained Finesse, which you can either use for guaranteed HQ on harder crafts, or swap out for a Tricks line pre-Great Strides to avoid Excellent spaghetti when you're macro crafting pots or collectables.

It'd probably be unfeasible to incorporate blockchain tech into it when you can just build some gacha game with it from the ground up. "Give FFXIV the budget to rework the code into something that doesn't hold them back so much!" *monkey's paw finger curls* "Coming in 7.0, we're finally improving the engine for FFXIV! On a separate note, here's a first look at the new Limited Job Beast Master, available on *insert Blockchain marketplace*! Capture monsters and then sell your access to the Job to someone else now that it's worth more due to the unlocks moving with the Job!" CJ posted:The workaround is that you just buy the NFT on the mogstation and it gets added to your account through the database as always, but at that point who cares. Have they aggressively changes the cash shop in the last 10 years? If not there's no reason to think they will now. They updated it quite significantly just a few months ago. It's not a whole lot better (it still doesn't have a search feature, just a filter list), but it looks better and isn't inherently joined to Mogstation's hip so it's better to navigate. Waffleman_ posted:FFXIV runs on Crystal Tools, which ran XIII, not Luminous, which runs XV. Luminous has been used to run two games, Final Fantasy XV and the upcoming Forspoken. 1.0 was Crystal Tools, but they changed to Luminous for 2.0. Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:I don't have that option, is there something I need to do to unlock the ability to buy master books? Crafting has had more than one rework done to it since HW. There was a massive change in StB that changed crossclass skills, ShB had a couple changes that removed and simplified abilities and added a crafting combo, and EW reworked how Inner Quiet works. All of this means that crafting is much easier to parse if you're doing your own stuff, but macros from before EW's launch are completely dead.

Maybe they thought it would take the wind out of EW's sails if the rogue legions are still doing their thing.

Unless they cancel the Relic they'll have one. Don't know if they're going to tie in the new Deep Dungeon to the relic steps. Relic steps have been pretty consistently released in the .25 patch for 2 xpacs now and I'm hoping its more Anemos and less "Spend 1k poetics for an instant relic weapon"

I swapped to elezen in Stormblood I think and planned to fantasia to bun, roe, and back to my OG au ra at each expansion start. I've got 6 looks and names saved as alts. But the ShB and EW cutscenes became so expressive that now that's my WoL and can't change. I'm going to have to boost an alt or two at some point. That said elezen does look uncanny valley off occasionally, usually it's the neck. It bothers me for a while then I hit another good cutscene and all's well.

Oof. I'm finally feeling the pressure of only having so many glamour plates. I mostly use a few that work with every class and have a couple casual glams, but now I've got a bunch that are Job specific that I really like. I've narrowed it down to a few Jobs (and Healer), but there's still more I want to make.   Dragoon's next on the chopping block since that's really only there for the weapon and it's not even max level yet. As soon as I get gear to replace the BTN set I'll be needing that slot.

Estinien really emulates the real player dynamic in his trust implementation. During my first run of the Hydaelyn trial he had a stack marker on him - the team all moved into position only for him to Dragonfire Dive away to one of the crystal adds at the last moment - killing him instantly. Which I've done myself several times. It was just fun seeing a bot make the same mistake.

Just realized they avoided Garlean overworld mobs for StB just like Sin Eaters in ShB, but that means the various Eorzean castra are just getting more and more into Japanese holdout status as time passes. Like do they even know about Solus dying? That was early ARR patch content right? stev posted:Estinien really emulates the real player dynamic in his trust implementation.

The Garlemald empire is destroyed by Fandanial concurrently with some of the later events of Bozja. This could have potentially been handled by pointing out that Gabranth was kind of a break-away legatus to begin with and the people under his command were more loyal to him personally and to his professed ideals than they were to the Garlean empire. So even after Garlemald has fallen and most of the legions are dispersed or surrendered, there would still be room to have a remnant legion off doing their thing that needs to be cleaned up because, kinder and gentler though they may be, they're nevertheless occupying Dalmasca and the bulk of the locals don't appreciate it. Unfortunately it sounds like it's a dropped plot due to staffing and dev focus changes though.

The Garlemald empire is destroyed by Fandanial concurrently with some of the later events of Bozja. This kind of adds to the evidence that early plans were for 6.0 to be more focussed on Garlemald and the fall of the empire was brought forward. When work started on Bozja's plot the plan may well have been for Garlemald to fall at the end of 6.0 or in the 6.x patches giving time for that story to be properly resolved - and they had to come up with a plan B when the direction changed.

I hope the next Relic zone is more like Eureka than Bozja. Now that I've cleared BA and completed everything I set out to do in Eureka, I feel confident saying that it was a much more fun experience than Bozja. Bozja is more player friendly sure but it's way more loving boring. Both zones are like Hydatos and have zero interesting geometry or navigation, just a big open space. I like CEs and they were a great addition that Bozja brought to the table though, but Bozja did not have that great feeling of being spooked walking around an area and then coming back later and just waltzing by because the monsters wont own you anymore. Or having to drop down cliffs and carefully navigate tunnels without getting owned by sleeping dragons. It was an adventure! The sense of adversity in the zone also meant there's people actually interacting with eachother and not just shitposting in shout chat. No one waits for people for skirmishes in Bozja but people will wait for stragglers all the time in Eureka, or go and help people who are stuck or rez them etc. It was great. And I did half of Eureka when it was current (and only the other half now) and it was the same back then so I know it's not a new thing!
