I missed the early patch day quests but I'm certain I haven't missed a lopporit day since then. But I'm at 720, which isn't enough to hit Honored tomorrow. What the heck, man.

I think that's correct? We'll be hitting the 4th stage of it at that point

On patch days it's possible to log in after the patch goes live but before the daily reset to do the first round of tribe quests, and then do another round after the daily reset. People who did that and continued doing quests every day got the next rank today, people who've just been doing the normal 1 a day hit it tomorrow.

Edit: I missed the earlier post. I'm at 900/990 without having done the extra quests the first day, though.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you do the thing where you accept all quests one day and turn them in the next, and those quests rank you up, you don't get the extra set of quests from ranking up.

I still don't get why they wasted precious dev cycles making male viera when they had lopporits. Femhroth would've been a better use of their time.

Male Viera were just requested so loudly and so widely. Thankfully we are getting female Hrothgar as well, though almost certainly not until 7.0 comes with its graphics overhaul.

I did. You probably did miss a day on accident. Although theoretically, sometimes the rep math works out in a stupid way. IE you get a set of 3 dailies and only need to turn in 2 to unlock the next rep step so if you hand in that 3rd daily before doing the phase unlock, it's rep is lost to the ether.

"complementary", not "complimentary". That's some Rowena branding magic right there.

This looks great, I love this person's style. What's the process people usually go through for commissioning artwork like this? I see that person's Twitter is Japanese which I don't speak or read a lick of and would feel very weird asking questions about price and whatnot.

Skeb is the go to at the moment, and since it uses your twitter login you can see artists you follow who take commissions on it, along with things like who people you follow commission from. It is a Japanese first platform but used DeepL to translate requests, although if you can find someone who is willing to manually translate you’ll probably be better off. Artists will sometimes turn down the auto translated ones because they don’t want to deal with the layer of ambiguity but plenty of people go through it

There are some things to be aware of, Skeb wants you to limit communication to your initial description which means it has some restrictions on what you can link. I know a friend who got flagged when she was just attacking reference images, but she was able to just change where she hosted it and it worked fine afterwards.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!

I can't read this guy's posts and the translator isn't super reliable, I think he might be floating around the idea of commissioning WoLs and putting them into the center of the big group photo he made? Can anyone confirm or deny that? I'd do that in a heartbeat if that's something this person ends up doing

Every time I've tried to use Skeb and register for notifications when people open, it did jack poo poo and I never got updates. Do you have to actually... be on twitter to get these notifications?

Wish they had a non-twitter option right now, I tell you what

When I check the skeb page you get a notification but overall I find skeb to well, sketchy as in they make you agree to TOS that even if the artist ignored your guidelines for the art you cannot ask for a refund. So you end up gambling each time if the artist actually understood your request or not and maybe they didn't feel like drawing that day after waiting like 30 days for artwork you might not even like the end because of reasons.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Not the biggest accomplishment in the world, but I just soloed Holminster Switch on my summoner unsynced. Everything was okay (though possible to overpull) until the final boss. Had to do some planning for that one.

Everything's okay at the start until the chains you're supposed to have a party for, no choice but to eat it. Phoenix comes right afterward to heal you but you get 3 vuln stacks and then there's a tankbuster, line stack and Pendulum right in a row before they fall off. Had to maximize use of my shields to make it through that.

Learning what I can solo as I advance is pretty fun. I generally use Red Mage for speed and survivability, though for a while I was regularly doing Ifrit EX as SCH. Just today I soloed Living Liquid for Wondrous Tails. Wiped on the trash pack because the Karlabos-type hit me with Tail Screw and immediately Dropsy. Living Liquid itself was simple but tedious.

Still can't do Bahamut, though. He just throws multiple unique vuln stacks at me until he farts and I fall over.

Anything with imprison mechanics is a crapshoot, need to wait it out to see if it's "damage until dead" or just "take a big hit as you're freed." Titan's Granite Gaol is the latter, and while you're in it you're also immune to his other attacks so it's almost a rest break.

Is that "as you advance in level"? I remember doing that with Coils as I leveled my Bard, can't remember when I hit various thresholds but it's the sort of self-imposed and only-self-affecting (as opposed to doing raids as a lancer and similar "annoy the other players" gimmicks) obstacle I enjoy. Being a Bard main definitely affected things because of their lack of burst, gone back to some on Summoner that go a LOT faster when I can punch through invuln phases.

This was also the perfect patch for the time it came out. It was the first patch that came out during the pandemic and was delayed for two months while they were figuring out the whole work from home thing.

It really helped that it was loving fantastic patch and not something just ok.
