You don't actually need to use expensive mats unless your optimization process is to get the most exp/leve at a particular level or whatever.

Anything 81 and above is still a bunch of exp, gc dailies custom deliveries, collectables etc. are there as well.

levequests in particular give absurd amounts of XP if you hand in an HQ item.

The One True Oden

Burnt Poffin posted:

I'm working my way through 4.2 at the moment, and have turned in three catbooks since I completed the base Stormblood story, however, all the listed dungeons for all three catbooks have still only been the ARR and HW dungeon options. Does Wonderous Tails only have those types, or have I just been unlucky at getting any Stormblood dungeons to pop up?

Speaking of 4.2, all the drama and tension that might be drawn from the Garleans attacking the Confederacy, is sort of removed with Alphinaud's vocal effect when he dives. :)

That moment is great in every dub :allears:

Wait... are there Stormblood equivalents to the Crystaline Mean and Studium quests?

The actual answer to this is no. There's just Stormblood leves and Stormblood individual crafting/gathering questlines.

It looks like the clown facepaint is going to be its own option separate from the outfit, so get ready for people putting together their vest Joker cosplays.

The reflections canonically have time distortion relative to the Source, demon clowns just hit a spot of time contraction on their side.

The same way they explain anything else regarding the passage of time since the start of ARR: by not mentioning it at all.

That really is a good Fandaniel voice.


I assume the Modern Aesthetics item is actually the clown face paint rather than a haircut. That would be the first time they've added a face paint option as a limited time thing to my knowledge.

Just did P2S in PF (i'm going on holiday and won't be able to clear it with my static for the next two weeks). Not a huge fan of the fight. Kind of boring, and with some insta-wipes if even one person fucks up. Really liked P1S much more.

Thundarr
Dec 24, 2002


I dunno I think P2S is pretty fun, with some panic spots like the brutal stack damage during the second Overflow. At least my reclear for it this week wasn't nearly as cursed as the P1S reclear.

My group is mostly stable up to Fountains in P3S and has passed that a few times, so hopefully we'll have it down this week.

I think PF might have soured my experience, because the groups in Chaos DC were a very mixed bag.

I've been enjoying P2S the more I prog it. The normal is perhaps my least favorite of them, but there's something about the savage that's just really fun. I like what they've done with the arena to make moving around and doing mechanics more interesting.

I got very emotional several times in Shadowbringers and Endwalker but this was the one moment that I full on cried and had to get tissues, the whole nine yards. It might be the single most masterfully executed moment in the game, every single element worked and if even one thing--camera, animations, vocal performances--had been off it would have just been a really good beat instead of being shattering.

I don't think those sorts of moments are inherently bad but they're definitely the leading cause of burnout or bad blood in my experience in statics.
