it's not so bad as long as you exclusively farm them late at night on aether. aether morning crew is a nightmare. i got 15 clears last night in about 3 hours, and 0 clears this morning after 3 hours. trap party after trap party.

I am legit the opposite because you can master an ex-fight very quickly and have it down to a science whereas that takes much, much longer for savage

It's the repetition that gets me. Those things are always gogogo with zero downtime, as soon as I've finished leaving the instance the timer is ticking for the next one. Feels like I can't breathe, brain turns to mush after doing two in a row.

if you run your own parties you can determine how much time there is between runs!

99 clears of ex1 and 70ish on ex2 is enough for me. i'm very happy with my luck on ex7 with only 4 clears. maybe i'll get the bahamut mount in 2 expansions when the other lynxes go up on mogtome events.

in the meantime i get to wait patiently for the gwibers i don't have to go up during dawntrail :)

knowing now how consistent they'll be with trickling out the gwibers is very freeing

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

I finished the gwibs just before one hit the mogtome event, so that's on me. (The last one was the only one that I went to 99 totems with, even... I suppose it's good that that only happened once?)

I've got EW Ex1 in my catbook this week, so maybe that's a sign to start learning, despite my performance anxiety.

After banging my head against the wall that is P10S clear parties in PF for a week I went for the P9S reclear today since I still need the gear and the difference was staggering. I was barely even trying but just having a party that can handle mechanics makes such a huge difference. We had a couple wipes while people adjusted and then an easy clear way ahead of enrage. 20 minutes from first pull to clear.

I'm still going to take a few days off from P10S but this has restored (some of) my faith in PF.

I really liked the caster set this tier, especially once I saw how nicely it dyes. Really makes the sparkles on the shoulders stand out.

are the drop rates on ex mounts really this abysmal on release? 74 totems and i've seen a single mount drop from ex7

I've stopped after 106 totems and I've seen 7 mounts drop.
Got to 120 Rubicante totems without seeing a single one that update though.

Has it been determined yet if the felicitous solicitations on the island are the same for everybody or actually randomized? The three I got this week (butter, dino bones, crook) are all high or very high demand so I guess making them won't be too much of a loss even if they aren't part of the optimal workshop rotation this week. I'd just have to dig out that old infographic to figure out which day to make them.

The problem with trying to come up with a nice red mage glam is that their level 89 artifact set is already my favourite outfit in the game.

I’m not sure what you’re looking for. You can rename gearsets and then put those on hotbars.

You can make a macro that swaps gearsets and changes the title.
code:
/gearset change RPR
/title set "The Reaper"
or similar. /gearset takes the name or number of a set.

Make a macro that combines /gearset with /title?

Might need a /wait in there to prevent errors or might now, I've never tried it.

Now, if we can just get Hairstyles added to Plates, we'll be golden...

I doubt hairstyles will ever be added to plates. The whole aesthetician interface is outside of the game proper and they've done very little in terms of improvements to it.

How does rez placement work? Had an interesting interaction in Thaleia's second boss where my placement was off on the knockback before the big movement mechanic, get knocked into the water and die, someone casts a rez, I wait until the mechanic is over, I revive outside of the arena get the DoT, the game forces me back into the arena, but I still have the DoT and I die again.

When you see it, you'll shit yourself.


You rez where the player that rezzed you cast the rez (at the end of the cast, of course). The only time where you rez in place is LB3.

Tamba
Apr 5, 2010

You get rezzed where the caster was, unless it's a heal LB3, which rezzes everyone on their corpse (which might kill them immediately again, if they died from touching the wall)
