if you use the custom launcher there's also the TriadBuddy plugin that tracks a lot of that stuff inside the card list menu

Nine Triple Triad cards left that refuse to drop. Four Field Notes left that refuse to drop. Six Gwiber mounts left that refuse to drop.

it took me 50+ tries to get, but yes it exists. hang in there buddy, i'm praying for you

it took me that many tries INCLUDING all the savage clears i did, which should arguably have higher drop rates. why the gently caress does this fight with a four minute cutscene in the middle have such a low drop rate aaaaaaaaaaaaa

does any healer on Excal want an easy P1S + P2S clear wednesday night at 10PM est? our static's AST won't be around for our reclears. obviously people who've beaten the fight only, we only set aside like 30-40 minutes on wednesday and don't have the time or energy to bring someone up to speed.

I just got SCH to level 70 today and set up my Sage bars with how I've been playing SCH in mind, and I'm so, so glad I took the time to learn the job. Sage makes so much more sense now, and I have a relatively comfortable crossbar setup for the job.

It's weird revisiting a class you haven't played for a bit and just marvelling about how garbage your bars are. "drat bitch, you played this way?"

I picked up BLU for the first time in months and immediately rearranged everything

I'd like to get more active on BLU now that your spellbook presets also save your keybinds (I've never been fond of the "save your bars on a class/job you never play" macro method), but yeah one of the big things I did in the last few days of shadowbringers was a complete review of all my job hotbars since some of them had 6+ years of cruft on them. the ones that saw the biggest change were healers, swapping the priority of healing and damage gcd spells on my hotbars, and some general rebinding of skills to get common skills (knockback immunities and tank short cooldowns, for example) on the same button on multiple jobs.

if anyone cares I documented my process in a twitter thread here

just unlocked the 89 trial - very surprised (and pleased) to see it's Trust-supported, but slightly annoyed by the plot lead-up to it, specifically the trope of proving oneself in deadly combat with a close ally. that one always gives me a big ol' eyeroll, even when it seems completely justifiable in the plot

not that that matters at all, mind you :black101:

The Fatter Cat is an A+ purchase that I can wholeheartedly recommend, it is just so squishy and cute and it's feet go patta-patta-patta and it goes MROW when you summon it or get off of it! :kimchi: It has brought such joy into my FFXIV life.

I will be there on day one to give them all my money if they make a Fattest Cat.

don't read until after, but I am curious if it being a genuine 'I'm fading and my time has come to an end, I want you to kill me so you can show you're worthy of protecting things without me' thing made it better for you. I also hate the 'prove your worth to me by fighting me with your real sword and super magics!' trope but I really liked the angle of 'no but for real killing me proves you're able' sincerity.

On the subject of Triple Triad, is there any way to get cards out of your inventory besides going through the tutorial and, I guess, getting the card bank or whatever? I don't really want to do TT stuff, especially since I have enough distractions in this game as stands, but I got a few cards from Heaven-on-High and it'd be nice to get those inv slots back.

it does make it better, yeah

tbh that annoyance was replaced by annoyance at myself for wiping out twice well, six times before i finally noticed the mechanic indicator the whole fight is based on. in my limp defense, it didn't help that the Trust bamboozled me by loving up mechanics intentionally early in the fight, i'd kind of come to expect them to be perfect mechanics barometers from previous dungeons

You can sell them for a little mgp at the gold saucer, at least I think you can, no idea if you need to have unlocked it I guess.

I've never played it either, but I still learn any new cards I get and sell the rest
