If you are crafting, you're getting XP. Cowries are just based of supply/demand. XP is just "Yes/no - are you crafting?" So if you don't care about cowries, don't worry about following any guides. Just throw up whatever you can craft that you have infinite materials.

BLU didn't launch until 4.5 and not gotten substantial updates until the X.45 patches in ShB and EW, so I'd honestly never expect them to add another limited Job on an X.0 update. Being added during the patches when there's much less work needed to be done for already extant Jobs makes much more sense. Onean fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Oct 9, 2023 |

I committed to finally getting my crafters and gatherers up to speed over the weekend. So far I have two Brilliant tools and an Indagator chestpiece to show for it, as well as a Diadochos top in order to make some money back. Of course, I know that just crafting the gear is one thing, pentamelding it is another entirely.

Now that they're adding a dedicated face slot for glasses, letting blu's do more poo poo is my number 2 most wanted thing behind an account wide transmog index. It's stupid that blue mages can't do the potd-alikes or the exploratory zones at this point. Like just let me solo potd with blu, all it takes is a dedicated blu leaderboard, just let people do it! Find a way to not give necromancer or whatever if that's the holdup. And Eureka/Bozja would only be improved by letting blu's run around. Block em from BA and DR if you gotta. Let me do variant's as blu you corwards!!!! Edit: Give me a mentor-roulette alike except it's blue mage only. Edit 2: Uhh guess I am getting ahead of myself about variants, since those are 90 and maybe they will let blu in down the line when they raise the blu cap to 90.

I gave PFing P1S a shot back in the day and decided that I probably didn't want to drive myself insane after a couple hours of attempts with people who could not understand the concept of clock positions regardless of how much it was explained. League might be frustrating as hell at times, but I've at least got a reasonable chance of carrying alone in ranked.

one of the important skills to develop in PF is determining whether a group is a non-starter and when to simply dip. it's extremely mercenary and frustrating and feels bad to do which is why i don't PF anymore

Mister Olympus posted:one of the important skills to develop in PF is determining whether a group is a non-starter and when to simply dip. it's extremely mercenary and frustrating and feels bad to do which is why i don't PF anymore Yeah. In PF if you aren't willing to just abandon a doomed group (and you'll be doing this frequently), you're just going to subject yourself to suffering rather than progress. I could only take so many nights spending multiple hours going through one awful group after another before I abandoned the concept entirely. I'm happy with a mediocre static as long as everybody's having fun and at least making consistent forward progress, even if I'm not rocking BIS on week two or even month two.

You can get a good sense of the overall group's skill within a few pulls, usually. When I was doing PF savage I'd give it 3 pulls before making a judgment; if the group feels pretty good for prog/clear then I'll stay for a while, if the group is bad I leave by pull #5.

this does apply to statics too but the process is a bit longer-term and maybe more awkward, but also can be negotiated out in a way PF can't, and is more about incompatible goals rather than strictly just prog speed.

Being good at PF means knowing when to cut your losses and dip or not being afraid to call out the specific problem/person causing the issue and asking them to shape up. This is especially true for mechanics that are 100% solo responsibility and don't rely on other people whatsoever. So for example, stuff like P5S Devour or current Zeromus EX Void Bio. If someone is repeatedly dying on a mechanic like that, that's an immediate red flag. It's harder for mechanics that do somewhat rely on other people since it's harder to tell who exactly screwed up (e.g. P10S bonds 3), but being aware of other players' movement and mechanic resolution capabilities and knowing when to leave alleviates a lot of frustration in PF.

The caveat is of course that this means you need to be good enough to do your own rotation, resolve mechanics AND be able to watch 7 other people and resolve their mechanics mentally to know what's going wrong and that's a lot. Throwing out a false accusation can collapse an otherwise good party. An example of this is the meteors in Zeromus EX. If someone is blowing up on the first set, that's a red flag since there's a ton of space. But on the second set? Hard to tell if it's their fault or if they truly had no room because someone in the first set messed up. But that's why sac strat exists since there's a decent amount of time before the next body/heal check. But going even further, if you get a person who refuses to do sac strat to salvage a run because it isn't their fault that someone in the 1st set messed up meteors, that's a bad sign.

It can take me ages to learn how to parse something, separate the noise from the data, but once I've turned a diagram on a page into space on the arena floor, *snap* I've got it never forget the thing. Zone into some 3 year old trial roulette, people say "I've forgotten this whole fight" and I'm wondering how that's possible because my feet are already doing the steps. Some people don't seem to have that same skill and I have no idea how to help. Unfortunately those people are in my static. And I don't want to cut them loose because I'd rather spend hours failing with friends than succeed with randos, that's where my joy comes from, but... bruh. This pattern never changes, after that mechanic goes out you always need to go HERE and then read the tell to go HERE and end up HERE. That's it, every time.

I joined a static in the middle of August that was on HH prog for P10S when I joined. It took us a full month to finally get the p10s clear. Half a month later and we were only up to D&L on p11s and lost an entire week to reclearing p10s. I swore in the middle of the raid which is something I never do, and realised my expectations of prog speed were completely out of whack with the rest of the static, so I left. Sometimes it’s honestly better for you to just cut and run.

Hi everyone! If you didn't get enough Rival Wings during Mogtomes, we now have a calendar for scheduled RW events for the duration of patch 6.5. Like what I posted before Mogtomes, this will let you know where to go and when (roughly) matches should start. Each suggested world is there as a gathering point in case you want to form premades, but you can queue from anywhere on that DC. This may get adjusted if participation levels drop, but we're giving this a shot as it seems people have gotten through the new patch content really fast, and we were able to get consistent RW since Wednesday night.

There are a lot of fights where I never developed any kind of muscle memory at all, and I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat. Also, yes, some of us are not very good at video games, so please have patience with us

From my own experience of doing ult and savage prog, loving up and causing wipes is something that you have to accept and live with if you are going to spend any time trying to do the harder content. Most people are fine with others loving up (even in PF, in my experience), as long as people own up to it and are seen to be doing something to prevent it from happening the next time. The only real frustration, for me at least, is when people don't post at least a "mb" in chat, and then you notice the same person loving up on the same mechanism over and over again.

Note Block posted:How are y'all making these portrait collages? They are very cool, as are the portraits themselves of course I just edit screenshots with paint to get each portrait in a file by itself, and then copy-paste them all one at a time into the collage using paint again. The main thing is just making sure the dimensions of the individual portraits are all the same and I didn't accidentally crop one smaller than the rest. There's probably a better way to do it with Photoshop or something, but I have no experience with that.

There are a lot of fights where I never developed any kind of muscle memory at all, and I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat. That's the part that feels weird to me because I have a very kinetic memory. I did those fights a couple times three years ago too, but forgetting how to do them would be like forgetting how to drive to a friend's house I visited once ten years ago; completely normal for most people, but not something that happens to me. I have difficulty hanging onto names and faces ten minutes after learning them, but dances are forever.
