For any DNC who like number crunching, looks like the new BIS is 2.47 GCD instead of 2.49/2.50.

Don't you loving change my BIS set while I'm already in the middle of obtaining it. :mad:

Though it turns out the only actual gear difference is the hat and that's the only leftside I haven't picked up yet, so I guess it isn't too dire. Did they post an updated opener anywhere?

This is incorrect because the ARR ALC and LTW and HW BSM quests are all very good.

LTW holds a special place in my memory because it's the only one where the guildmaster actually criticizes your work and isn't constantly blowing smoke up your rear end about how you singlehandedly saved the business by crafting 5 pieces of starter gear with your amazing natural talent.

Nothing like solo killing 40 robots to spawn a FATE, to then spawn the FATE I need, only for the drop rate to be obscenely low, requiring an hour wait for the cool down after.

As someone who farmed all the notes, I feel you. The Steel and Flame notes were killer, a good 30% of my time farming notes was for just that one.

So, a very weirdly specific question: does anybody know if Eulmore's post-MSQ day and night themes were available as orchestrion rolls at launch? I just today learned that the music you get from Radz-at-Han after maxing out all shared FATEs is the song that plays there during the MSQ. Which is fine, but... well, it's not the banger of a night theme.
At launch, you could get the post-MSQ day theme for maxing out all shared FATEs. 5.1 added the post-MSQ night theme to the same vendor, while the original MSQ theme was a MSQ reward that same patch.

I never actually won a duel. Got all mine from the chests or skirmishes/CEs.

I actually got all my CLL/Dal ones before getting my last skirmish one.

Probably helped that I had also been doing 3 relics.

the problem with crafting to make money is that leveling crafters is super easy now so there is a ton of supply. margins on popular foods and gear is small (sometimes even non-existent if people are being dumb).

try looking at stuff like gc turn-ins, quest turn-ins and possibly HQ intermediates.

I'm not exactly the monopoly guy in game, but I have a steady cash flow when I care to.

There isn't some easy answer like make master recipes, or make x, or gather y. Especially now there's a huge amount of people throwing level 90 gear and consumables onto the market, and I don't think it's worth it to compete with all of them on stuff that doesn't necessarily move quickly any more. Food and pots probably still sell fast, but competition is thick. Especially early in the week when people restock their raid items.

Leveling gear sells well enough, easy 5 figure amounts, especially if you have retainers gathering the ingredients for you. Housing items are generally not competitive markets, so if you find a few items that are lacking on the MB, craft them. Prices are often high, but materials are often annoying, but still common enough, although housing items don't fly off the shelves either. This will change when the new zone opens up.. Either way you need to know what your marketboard has currently and what you can supply easily.

Sometimes certain intermediate materials and other items are only available in stacks of 99. Crafting your own and selling in normal stack sizes can often let you up the price by 200 - 400% and sell instantly. This takes up a lot of retainer space and doesn't have huge profit compared to a few big items, but it's easy and reliable.

Have spiritbond potions in effect whenever you're bulk gathering or crafting. Sell the extra materia if you don't need it.

I just need Lyon (Red Comet duel, CLL) and Lyon (Zadnor 3 duel, Dalradia). I can do Comet fine, the issue is the rest of the party doing it fine too. There's enough group-up stuff I can't solo it after everyone else dies.

become what you must, a warrior with bloodsucker and you can handily solo red comet (or any other BSF content short of DRS)

Thanks for the crafting advice, all, it mirrors what I've seen in the market. I mainly leveled them because I love seeing numbers go up, so I wasn't banking too hard on this. I may just spend time at work doing braindead resource runs and sell base quality materials to everyone else at a small margin.

I started Eureka a few days ago because I want one fairly attainable thing from it. (Dyable level 70 RDM AF armor, and I only really need the hat and top) I can't imagine doing it for anything that would take serious grinding, it isn't fun at all.

Yeah, I was in a similar position, except instead of CUL and ALC it was BSM (I did rush BSM to 90 at the start of this process, then I started leveling the others evenly.
