Queues in this game seem to resolve quickly. Have I just been lucky? I've never waited more than a minute or two.

That's always the case unless the servers suddenly have a hiccup and everyone logs back in at the same time, like what just happened, or an expac releases. In the latter case it is severe.

If the queue is less than a hundred then it's not actually the case that the world is full. It's just that they only process one login at a time for technical reasons so it takes a minute to get to everyone

Nah that's normal, the usual like 40-50 person queue is just limiting the number of people logging in at once, the world isn't actually full. You only get real queues when the server crashes, like today, or when an expansion launches. There were really bad queues for Endwalker, since the game had an influx of WoW refugees in the previous year so they had a lot more people than they expected. The waits were multiple hours at peak times, it was rough. It also revealed an old flaw in the client software from back in the 1.0 days, where you could randomly get disconnected and lose your place in line. They did finally fix that, at least.

Do you guys keep every artifact set in your glamour dresser? That eats up a lot of space, and I feel like most of them have limited potential for mixing and matching, being class locked to begin with. I keep most of mine on retainers, unless I really really like the set, and then I usually just use the whole set.

I don't keep anything that can be gotten back from a Salvager in my dresser unless i'm actively using it for glams. I can spare the 1000 gil it costs to get something back. I hit 400/400 in my dresser recently and even with the coming dresser size increase, I've worked on cleaning out what I currently have in there. I think I'm now at 257/400. I figure if I do it now, I can get rid of pieces I don't really care about and then I'll be able to leave my dresser alone for years to come.

Aside from the obvious stuff (FFXIV Store purchases), I keep anything that I like that would otherwise be a pain in the rear end to replace, like a specific drop from a hard-to-run dungeon (usually content within the current leveling band or content with limited drop opportunities like Skalla), something that would require an inordinate amount of effort to replace like Anemos gear, or expensive glam items. I make a few exceptions for pieces I like that I both use frequently and have applied a Jet Black/Pure White to.

The Spring Bottoms you can get from the vendor near the fashion challenge are close enough and work for all roles (female only as well, the male version is longer)

Martman posted:Man... I'm just wrong and confused today. I really thought they all unlocked at the calamity salvager, no idea why they made it that confusing. To be fair though a full set of that armor including weapon is less than 600 centurio seals which is not a huge deal if you suddenly need a particular glam. it's a leftover of them figuring out what they wanted itemization to be, how they wanted people to gear up, and the existing patterns for gear retirement. In 2.x and 3.x both the first capped tomestone set was artifact gear (in ARR's case, the i90 version you get from your level 50 job quest). in ARR, when the tomestones advanced to the point where the former capped tome was deprecated, they moved it to dungeons, which didn't really work out long-term since nobody runs level 50 expert dungeons now. HW is therefore a halfway point in the development of gear progression, since they had hit on the idea of "first capped tomestone set moves to seals" but hadn't fully committed to the idea of "artifact gear for the expansion is your base set at level cap." Having the first set of capped tomes be job locked instead of role locked gear also meant gearing slowed down, which meant progression slowed down as people had to commit to gearing one job over one role, in an era where job variance within each role was immense and swapping out even one DPS meant massive potential variance in your strategies and what you're allowed to do. In ARR slowing progression down was wanted because they were still trying to fudge their way to content longevity, and in HW it was a response to requests for raiding to be harder--so they gave Midas savage pretty harsh gear gating. the hidden corners of this game have a LOT of these relics of previous decisions, though it's become more and more difficult to find them as things gradually get smoothed out.

No, because I really only care about glams for my main job, which is currently reaper. So my glam dresser is something like 90% a mix of reaper and universal glams and then a tiny handful of others that I just really liked enough to give them a plate. Off the top of my head that's a nin glam I have used forever, current gnb af, an alch glam that mixes af1 and 2, gsm af2 and wvr af... 4? The shb set. Oh and a healer glam. Looking forward to the cap going up because there's a bunch of crafted reaper sets I've been meaning to make but can't justify it since my dresser is nearly full and so is my reaper specific glam retainer.

Any recommendations for the best quickly soloable dungeons to grind up a ton of GC seals for the ARR relic in a jiffy?

Yeah, I'd probably just Trust out whatever ShB/EW dungeon you find the easiest or need a minion from. Otherwise, just the highest-level dungeon you can solo.

Probably whatever the highest level you can comfortably solo without using the Duty Support or Trust system, since those practically halve the amount of gear you get. I don't know if there's now some break point between the GC turn-in value and time taken, but I didn't see anything like that when I last went looking a year or two ago. You might also look into the daily DoH/L turn-ins, since those reward seals too.

Onean posted:Probably whatever the highest level you can comfortably solo without using the Duty Support or Trust system, since those practically halve the amount of gear you get. Yup. Usually whatever the highest level dungeon you can do from two expansions ago is fastest, since you'll be able to nearly one-hit normal trash and can safely power through most boss mechanics. Hard St. Mocianne's will probably be your best bet, since its trash is fairly straightforwards and it lacks bosses with weird immunity phases.

Fastest way to get GC seals is to buy cheap green gear people mb from quick ventures, it's trivial to get over a 1 to 1 seal/gil return.

you can beat ravana ex in a minute or less as a 90 dps, then open the coffer as a paladin to have three to four items to turn in.

The best dungeon unsync'd is Shisui, but I think the best seals per second is mass crafting level 80 accessories from the second ShB tier.

To list the entire set of currently relevant options for accessories: 580: Crafted, Extreme Trial 1, Normal Raid 590: Augmented Crafted, Limited Tomestones 600: Savage, Augmented Limited Tomestones 580 crafted accessories are generally better than all the 590 stuff if pentamelded. Pentamelding costs >1M gil and is unlikely to be a thing you want to do this late into the patch. For some jobs (specifically: healers who want min Piety), using one pentamelded 580 crafted ring remains best-in-slot.
