I was today years old when it occured to me that the wanderer's palace is named for Oschon and not just some weird name.

Options for spending excess poes, if you aren't farming some relic weapon, include buying rings and giving them to your GC in exchange for minion lootboxes, or buying stuff to desynth and sell the results of.

my poetics have sat capped for months except when i needed to buy some reaper gear. a stack of 2k is worth like 20k gil or something. not worth it for me to put any effort at all into selling them.

If you’re not leveling anything you’re probably better off speculatively buying old relic stuff in case you get the brainworm that makes you think that you should try completing all those lux weapons or whatever

Qwertycoatl posted:buying rings and giving them to your GC in exchange for minion lootboxes I usually get retainer ventures through Wolf Marks as I have nothing left to buy with them, but I'm not currently doing PvP so I have been buying ventures with GC seals as well. edit: As far as good lootboxes go, I have gotten a Zu Horn and Flying Chair out of lootboxes as well as a few 100k+ minions. I'll get a Eureka mount or dark pegasus someday. iPodschun fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Jul 18, 2022 |

I just started these missions last night for the first time. Namazu are very silly in appearance and I'm curious what nonsense I'm going to have to do for the tribe. I liked how, during the unlock quest for it, Cirina suddenly has a desire for some catfish buuz.

They make great use of the expressiveness of Namazu faces. It really helps sell the "eager but clueless" shtick. Also IMO I really like that you're making components to help rather than doing the work for them. Probably because they needed it to work for both crafter and gatherer, but it feels good to me.

I know the data mining isn't as prevalent as it is in other games, but is there anywhere to figure out ahead of time which currently accessible crafting mats will be useful for the next tier of recipes? I wouldn't mind trying to stock up ahead of time if I know that Integral Logs are going to be relevant again, for example.

This probably won't be minable until the patch actually drops and the recipes / new mats are in the data. And it'll probably mostly be new mats for everything - either tomestone, timed nodes, or desynth.

If we go by the last few expansions, you'll probably need some intermediate materials from base 6.0 but not in great quantities - we're talking like 1 6.0 lumber, thread, or cloth per recipe in addition to multiple 6.2 materials. The safest thing to stock up on in advance is Immutable Solution because it should be involved in all master recipe gear for the expansion, but that's not exactly something you can gather from a node.

No PTR and a simultaneous worldwide release means the majority of information of this kind is going to be unknowable until the patch becomes downloadable during maintenance. Sometimes they'll have some content that's not immediately available, but it's usually just holiday event or Mogstore items that are going to release before the next downloadable patch is available.

the reason all doh/l guildmasters are all "wow you're so good at this profession" is because the actual apprenticeship stuff is the boring part of the storylines and we can fast-forward to the interesting bits, like helping a dude not dress like a clown so he can get the girl, or raising the dead. this even goes for the leatherworker guildmaster because she explicitly says she's hard on you because she noticed you're extremely good at this leather thing and wants to nurture your talent, then also quickly has you make stuff with her brand name on it for herGyro Zeppeli posted:Good thing to do if you're using PF to do EXs: Do it as BLU. The ARR EXs have a 100% learn rate of really powerful spells if you do them as Blue Mage, and it's super easy to find other BLUs who want to do it for that reason. the only requirement for a 100% learn rate as BLU is being synced. doesn't matter if it's a dungeon or a savage raid. more concretely, this means for the vast majority of primal spells you wanna do the normal eight-person difficulty synced to learn stuff, with the only exceptions being ifrit where you can learn his spell from the four-person version, and garuda and shiva who only use their spells in the extreme versions. frankly, much as i think BLU's cool and fun and people should try it out, you shouldn't join synced ex parties as a BLU until you're mostly done with spell-hunting and know how to actually utilise your spells. A BLU without the proper spells or know-how is as useful as a dps job pressing their level 1 button and literally nothing else and just straight up actively detrimental in synced ex parties

The next Mogtome event starts on the 25th. The unique glam is a Demon Brick earring, the Alliance raid is the StB set, same with the regular raid, and the Trials are the Weapons. The new versions of MSQ dungeons and trial are also present. Praetorium is worth 7 tomes, Castrum Meridianum is worth 4 and Porta Decumana is worth 3. I was kind of hoping to see Crystalline Conflict show up, but no luck, there's just Frontlines.

Okay, for everything I do want from this Mogtome that's 114 runs of Aurum Vale. Assuming five minutes a run, that's nine and a half hours of Aurum Value I might be doing over the course of the event.

Kwyndig posted:Availability isn't the real problem with Rival Wings, it's finding enough PCs who actually want to play it. Which usually only happens in mogtome events, unless Frontlines also gets those tomes in which case Rival Wings' incentive is completely nullified. Hopefully they're aware of that being the problem when they bring Rival Wings back, or else there was barely even a point in taking the time to retool it.

I know there's a pvp discord that was doing revival nights for rival wings and it meant good queue times for an evening. Rival Wings probably won't get much play in-between CC and Frontline unless they make a roulette for it, honestly. It just sits in the awkward zone between the casual button pusher mode and the serious PvP mode.

hazardousmouse posted:Start an ARR relic now, get it to the light stage, 2 birds 1 stone get that light done while getting tomes Yeah, it has to be sync'd. I got my usual BLU Ram's Voice + Ultravibration setup ready for this. Though an optimal setup is 1 tank + 3 BLU and I have been slowly chipping away at my WAR relic, so that's an option too.

Has to be synced. Ideally you want more for bosses and dashes, but you'll contribute well for trash. I had sub 4 minute runs when I ground during a previous attempt. You can have a tank but a Blu tank is still better IMO. This event would have saved me a few million, seems better than the last few. Just need the earring though myself. derra fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Jul 19, 2022 |

What the heck are you buying that you need so many aurum vale runs? 114 runs is like 8 hours of it. At that point isn't it easier to just get the items the normal way?

Speaking of it, BLU note: be aware that the easiest way to get Diamondback, a very important BLU spell for invulnerability, is going away with the Steps of Faith turning into a solo duty.

Stone Vigil (Hard) also has the spell, and i'm pretty sure it was always faster to get to the second boss of that dungeon than it was waiting for steps of faith to progress to the same mob, but that might just be because doing nothing is gonna feel longer than doing something in the same timeframe edit: like, even if steps of faith is the "easiest" option, dungeon spells are still incredibly easy grabs

If you prepared with other BLU spells, the other source in Stone Vigil (Hard) is not really all that bad. It can be killed with Level 5 Death or Tail Screw or Missile or whatever instant death method you prefer, ignoring the cannon fire gimmick.

I've been getting Dun Scaith in the roulette a lot lately, and it always turns into a shitshow. Deathgaze I can understand, but Diabolos will usually cause a wipe too. I think the mechanic that kills most people (besides the little orbs) is when he drops meteors that everyone needs to soak. Often an entire alliance or two will just die. People in chat will say that only tanks should soak the center meteor, but a lot of older guides say the center should be soaked by a lot of players. Is "tanks only in the center" the more reliable strategy?

Unsync steps of faith, wait for the armored dragon to use the skill, then kill it. If you get the skill you're all set, if not exit and repeat.a cartoon duck posted:Stone Vigil (Hard) also has the spell, and i'm pretty sure it was always faster to get to the second boss of that dungeon than it was waiting for steps of faith to progress to the same mob, but that might just be because doing nothing is gonna feel longer than doing something in the same timeframe Main difference is that you can't unsync Stone Vigil by yourself since that boss has its weird canon gimmick.
