The "six weeks" thing is a weekly quest that takes a few minutes to do but the reward from it (besides seeing a conclusion to the story) is the longest title in the game. You're not missing much

I enjoyed the conclusion. It is a bummer that it takes so long to get to it, though.

Next Mogtome event starts 24th April https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/mogmog-collection/202304/y7377p4z7j

These events are almost always 4weeks before a patch, meaning it's a fairly safe bet that 6.4 will drop 23rd May. This would mean the next savage tier unlocks on 30th May.

I'm excited for this now that I have nearly fully gotten my Blue Mage online!!!

A little late to RP talk but I decorated my FC room up like the Velvet Room. I should RP by telling anyone that comes in that they are fated to die. Or become a blue mage.

I mean blu shenanigans are usually easy to setup, you really only need a few abilities, most of which are soloable, or only need the help of one other level 90. Plus you get a head start on the blu grind to 80.

What is going to be the best level 80 blu powerlevelling? The one beach in thavnair with the crabs maybe?

Oh gently caress. The Magitek Predator Key.

Good rewards on this one imo. Probably one of the better moogle troves in recent memory.

Time to dust off my blue mage.

If you don't have your BLU leveled yet, just have someone in this thread power level you. I've powerleveled multiple people in my FC. Takes about an hour per person to go from 1-70.

This is what Blue Academy has on it:

quote:

Thavnair in general is unappealling because while there are small pockets of good density mobs, they're kind of far from anything else (such as the beach in the soutwest).
Labyrinthos is largely the same, but it has a couple relatively large pockets of mobs we could use.

Is this a reportable thing or am i being an rear end in a top hat here? I did the last nier raid bullshit last night ( :stare: ) and it was kinda insane, the battle mechanics i mean and not in a fun way either.

There was a healer in my party and they just gave up and died in the first fight, it looked like they had disconnected or something so after the 2nd or 3rd fight when the other healer was struggling to keep us alive, i went to vote dismiss the afk healer and i couldnt cos they were rolling for items and winning them while not active in any of the fights lol. We get to the end and everyone leaves and i stick around and they just get up, take their winning items and exit.

Tbf i think it only really annoyed me cos goddamn the nier raid sucks poo poo (and now to finish it off takes 6 real in games weeks lol comeonnn) and we all had to suffer cept bunnyboy.

I had a similar thing with a MCH in that raid. Each fight they'd die like twice and then reset to the start rather than stay in the fight, which yeah, just seemed like they didn't want to do it but also wouldn't leave.

Those fights are kind of tough, but not "I give up you guys do it" tough.

Edit: They do need some kind of rebalance though, just to speed them up a small amount. The Endwalker raids are comparably much easier and quicker, which is kind of striking.

So probably the nw corner of laby. That makes sense.

Pro tip for anyone powerlevelling a blu mage: make it a cross world party. This allows you to keep party chat, but all mob xp/credit works the same as if you were solo.

My assumption for Alex fights was A4. No trash pulls, no running, just start hitting the boss. I think with random groups during ShB the fight would end in about 2 minutes so it was my choice for the 30x6 relic step.

For Blue Mages, Cutter's Cry is going to be a decent option too:

I recently had Nightmare drop from doing EXs for catbook. Part of me is relieved I won't be wanting to collect tomes for it, part of me is slightly annoyed my cool rare horse is slightly less rare.

That's fair. I'd actually say the EW raids aren't all that much easier, as the mechanics are still fairly challenging, but the fights just go faster which makes them less of a slog and makes mistakes less frequent and costly. Some people don't like the Rabanastre raids, but I do think those strike a good balance of being mechanically tough while not lasting forever.

I haven't run any of the older alliance raids in ages, but how long do they actually take?

Euphrosyne still routinely takes 35+ minutes for me, based on food expiring before Menphina is pulled. It's a joke of a raid but that feels like it's on the long end looking back at it.
