Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?
The new dungeon gear is pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the fire hula hoops from the raid and the tome gear is meh (imho). I like the crafted stuff for the most part, though I already have Crystarium weapons and it's still to expensive for my tastes.

I just want the Maiming set from the new 4-man. I've seen the entire scouting set drop in groups (and have never seen a ninja in any of them) but I'm mostly getting right side drops for Reaper.

Saw the minion once. Rolled low.

At least the music is good.

Feeling a lot better about the EX after having joined two parties today that finally got me past the problem part of Phase 2, though that fight does feel like it takes a million years due to just how many phases there are. Still think that fight is really fast to expect most pug groups to clear it, but I actually get most of the fight now, and I saw enrage so hopefully I'll clear tomorrow.

while you have to read out a lot of the fight without them being mechanics you can call out and preposition it is more generous with time than you would think given how well they made it feel frantic

Yeah, my island is a bit "behind" because I had to buy the chocobo barding first thing, and that's 4000 shells. So I now have to wait for my workshops to ship a few more things before I can get a granary going.

Is there any reason why I'm unable to hand in completed spearfishing levequests at Crystartium? I'm just getting a big grey text box with cancel in it when I click the appropriate npc.

It looks like the latest patch introduced a bug with levequest turnins. I ran into the same problem and was able to work around it by cancelling all but one of my levequests.
When there was only one left, interacting with the NPC allowed me to turn it in.

Agreed. I am also down to 52 of them and need 1500 each for the 2 remaining upgrades I can get at this sanctuary rank and I don't have high hopes that I am going to wake up to that many. On the upside, the sanctuary rank caps out at 10 and I am at 7 now, so it doesn't seem like it's going to be the biggest ask to get everything upgraded. I'd bet 2 or 3 weeks, barring a massive and arbitrary cost increase, so you don't have to wait too long to get your hands on the glams.

See, I just roll need on everything and accept whatever I end up with. It's all an upgrade on anything, and I don't do higher-difficulty content, so I just accept whatever mess I get.

Admittedly, this does usually mean I get to kit out every job with accessories and gloves before I can piece together a single chestpiece.

Despite the stated intent It's just a bunch of numbers that go up like every other progression system. If they really wanted to make a new Downtime Relax Zone that isn't Limsa plaza or the Quit Game button they could have stripped all of that out and offered cosmetic/creative choices only.

Just because it has numbers that go up, or any other progression system, doesn't mean it can't be a relaxing and chill experience. Stardew Valley has levels, strict time limits on what you can do during an in-game day, villager friendship, the community center/warehouse and more, yet it's still a standout in chill games.

I've been referring to this. It's still not complete and has at least one mistake I'm aware of (the crab spawns 12-3pm, not am I believe) but it's mostly a good reference and he updates it frequently as the info improves

I can confirm first-hand that Beachcomb spawns when it's raining at midnight, though I think he stays until dawn not 3AM. Just caught him.

If you haven't done them yet, do your 12 weekly Custom Deliveries. That used to get you more than the cap before they raised it from 2,000 to 4,000 this patch.

If you need more after that, though, I don't have an answer and someone else will have to chime in. Personally, I'd do whatever the highest level craft I had access to that had the fewest required mid-step crafts, but I don't know if that's the best option.

I was going off video of a streamer catching it at 2pm. After I posted I saw the person has updated to reflect that the spawn mechanic there isn't well understood, it's probably all of the above via some mysterious condition

I personally went for Rarefied Syrup (level 79 Alchemist Collectible) at level 90, you get 99 White Crafter Scrips for each turn-in (at max Collectibility), you can just hit Trained Eye to maximize collectability and jam Groundwork to finish it off, AND the recipe only requires simple gathered materials, no timed/hidden nodes or intermediary crafted steps. That's probably not the only simple recipe, but I didn't exhaustively study the list, I just looked below 81 because Trained Eye only works on recipes at least 10 levels lower than your current level. The part that took me the longest was gathering since I didn't really like the market board prices I saw, but 200/200/200 didn't take me too long and that's all I needed to finish my book collection after my Custom Deliveries for the week.

Rarefied Chondrite Culinary Knife. Lvl 89 so they're not too hard, you can just go gather the mats since they don't take any mats from timed node, monster drops or what have you. You can get all books with 49 knives (198 scrips each at max collect) if you don't have a single scrip to your name.
