<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

The addition this tier was scrip gear for the left side that matches pactmaker's, so I think 6.3 is where you'll get the upgrades you're hoping for.

Yep. Pactmaker left, Integral right is what we have until 6.3. They always alternate adding combat gear on savage patches and trade gear on off patches.

There was a lot of rain today so I decided to do a thing.

Despite the rain it never spawned for me, even after leaving and re-entering the island several times. Is the x18 y13 location not the right one, at 12AM?

People think it's bugged. It was happening to me every time I tried for one of the time and weather required spawns until I started doing the workaround described here. Haven't had a spawn fail since

So in my case, the issue was that it started raining at 4PM while I was on the island, and continued raining at 12AM, so since there was no actual weather change, Beachcomb did not spawn. What a silly bug.

How do I know what the actual weather schedule for the island is, though? Did they add it to the weather watchers in the city zones?

Yeah, I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved. At least all I have to worry about is getting my poo poo melded properly to beat the new stat requirements.

There was a lovely codepen you could use to predict future weather events for it but it looks like someone made a better onepager with all the info in one place recently: https://www.lalachievements.com/islands/

Sadly there's not enough space even at max capacity to fit one of each animal if we include the rare variants and the superrare mobs.

The description for why you need to schedule two days off for your workshop mammets says it’s because you’re such a kind boss, so it’s either non-union and your WoL really is a good person OR the mammets are fully organized and that description is the lie they tell you so that you think you’re totally the nice guy in this situation.

Tataru doesn’t strike me as friendly to collective bargaining, however.

Like Rownea and Godbert, Tataru uses refugee labor. She did pretty good for herself during the apocalypse, got the NGO she worked at to donate most of its material assets to her, got cheap workers from basically the textile production capital of the world, managed to open up shop in a famously isolationist nation that's been untouched by war unlike pretty much everywhere else, got her world famous friend to do free product placement for her etc.

I have legitinately asked around about this. On top of chocobo racing, and Crystalline Conflict being framed as a training exercise turned sport, there is some kind of ball-sport named in lore around Ishgard but with no details about how it's played.

I assume it's B-Ball with adjusted rules for a 4-person team, which is why everyone organizes parties in units of 4. Probably two defense and two offense.

The third Umbral Era was begun with a Chaos Dunk.

If the inventor of the Ishgardian ball sport is named Jaimbert Naismithoix, we have our answer.

Barkley 2 was supposed to be delivered in 2013. ARR from 2.1 on, introducing Ishgard and stuff beyond trivial details, was in that time frame.

This fight is easily the best EX in the game. Only like 4 mechanics but they happen so fast so constantly. There's not lull in the fight just non-stop poo poo with actually healing checks. So good.

Yes, which is why the achievement for melding 5 materia to one item has the most achievement points of any in the game + a cosmetic reward. Even if you just melded cheap materia to trash items, it was still very expensive to do.

And now there are items that have five slots in 'em so it's not much of a gamble.

Of course, I still remember how long that getting materia from spiritbonding also destroyed the item. That was well into... Shadowbringers wasn't it?
