reversefungi posted:Thanks for this! I had started doing Diadem along with GC turn ins but had been wondering if there was a better way/other stuff I could be doing. Helps to have it in a list form like this! For crafters, you're looking at Ixal for 1-50, Moogle for 50-60, Namazu for 60-70, Dwarf for 70-80, and Loporrit for 80-90. For gatherers, there's no tribes until Stormblood, when they let Namazu pull double-duty. Namazu 60-70, Qitari 70-80, and Omicron 80-90.

I just met Erenville! I did not expect for him to have an implaceable accent lol. I really like him though, it's high time someone that interacts with all the cool fantasy flora and fauna in a non-destructive became a main character (I only know he's in Dawntrail ok).

Hogama posted:While it's not necessary in the slightest, you can also supplement your experience with tribal quests, which do provide some decent chunks of experience daily. It's a little more effort in running around, though. The XP they give also gets better at max rank, and they are much less tedious once you hit Namazu and later tribes.

It's also clearly bait cause cleretic has spent the last year constantly reminding everyone in multiple threads how bad she thought 16 was and how she wasn't interested in it so I think that might be coloring her decision to actively ignore the mechanics.

I mean I don't think the event was any great shakes. It is literally just a fight from FF16 put into FF14 with minimal context. But refusing to engage with the mechanics will make any fight suck.

I know there are multiple reasons it's not a good idea, but I would have liked near-endgame Clive to like, get hit by a chocobo cart and wake up in Eorzea and the quest is him going "okay what the gently caress happened and why is everything strange" and the quest would be a comedy of errors.

The way the dodge actually works, as far as I can tell. Is that as long as you would be hit at any point during the animation, you take no damage and trigger the active dash. Which means it is entirely based on how accurate the animations are to when the hit happens to time the dodge. Additionally if you dodge "out" of an aoe that then goes off whilst you're mid dodge but no longer getting hit, it doesn't count. You specifically have to have the damage you would take be negated by the short term invincibility of the dodge.

My complaint for the FF16 quest is we did not have a kaiju fight between Primal Ifrit and Eikon Ifrit. Edit: Also could have worked it in better with the amnesia aspect where he is like SoP Jack instead of just generally being confused about everything.* Clive: I don't know who I am but I know I have to kill Ifrit Random NPC: Hey we know Ifrit is bad mystery man but Ifrit is not around right now. Clive: No I know I have to kill Ifrit Random NPC: Look here is the WoL they have beaten Ifrit like 5 times by now they can confirm we currently have no Ifrits WoL: Affirmative silent nod (Somehow Primal Ifrit Returns) Clive: "You are not Ifrit, I am." (Kaiju battle fun time) *Though I am glad Clive got to ride an airship and enjoyed it. Vise the Stompy fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Apr 3, 2024 |

Yeah, I feel like they missed a lot. "You're using healing magic on me? But you're not a bearer!" "The land is so lush and green... what about the Blight?" "Wait, you killed an Eikon? Like, you, personally, killed one?!" "What the hell do you mean magic doesn't make you turn into salt?"

I'm a quest away from completing Endwalker base MSQ, though I will still have patch content to go. I'm assuming at this point there's no real reason to try and get into a raid group given that everything will be sunset soon. What are my gearing options for going into Dawntrail aside from running the patch dungeon content? At a glance it looks like this expansion's relic weapons won't be TOO hard to get, assuming the tomestones aren't too difficult to get?

YorexTheMad posted:I'm a quest away from completing Endwalker base MSQ, though I will still have patch content to go. At the outset you can grab a set if Diadochos gear for your job. They're relatively cheap and'll let you get your foot in the door for all Endwalker patch content and into early Dawntrail. You can either buy an entire set or pick and choose while filling holes with tomestone gear. If you wanna take it slow you can run roulettes on your 90 job for capped and uncapped tomestones and use those to buy gear. Credendum gear is higher base item level than Diadochos and can be further upgraded with token items from the Endwalker 24 mans. You probably still want to buy a crafted weapon though, as those are a bit more of a grind to scoop from tomes. You can maybe find a group of people looking to get their feet wet in raids even now, and if you're interested in that I'd recommend a group that goes at it once or twice a week to see if it's for you. You'll still need to meet a baseline of gear though, so I wouldn't recommend doing it if your intent is just to gear up.

You could do a million Hunt Trains in the next 3 months to get all the relics, or just chill until DT when it'll all turn into Poetics and you'll get given level 91 gear in the MSQ anyways.

YorexTheMad posted:I'm a quest away from completing Endwalker base MSQ, though I will still have patch content to go. Highest ilevel stuff: Relic Weapons -- Max 665 -- all use the Causality tomestones which are easy to get (can get a bit grindy, but not difficult) Crafted Gear (Rashti, Radz-at-Hahn) -- Crafted at 640, turned into tokens for 650 -- Probably not worth it compared to other stuff you can get, but if you want a leg up at the start of your 90 life check on the marketboard for Diadochos gear. If you want the 650 stuff it takes both tokens (gotten from handing in 640 stuff of any type, an HQ 640 item will give enough tokens for an equivalent 650 or you can buuild up to it depending what's cheap) and Divine Rain (gotten for basic tomestones so it's gonna conflict with relic weapons) Causality Tomestone Gear (Cihanti, Radz-at-Hahn) -- 620 -- Probably not worth it if you're trying to do relics Comedy Tomestone Gear (same person) -- 650 -- come in slower than Causality and have a weekly cap, but better Augmented Comedy Gear (Khaldeen next door) -- 660 -- require the Comedy gear and Divine Solvent/Twine/Shine, which either comes from doing the alliance raids (one coin per run, a coin from each can be exchanged), Savage Raids, or getting Nuts (slower, only useful when the alliance raids were capped per week, but if you really like hunt trains you can get these) Normal Raids (Anabaseos) -- 640 -- This is really easy to gear up because most folks skip the raid tokens and there's no cap now. So if you do all four you can walk out there with pretty much a full set of gear. Alliance Raid (Thalea) -- 650 -- Slower than normal raids because people often roll anyway and it's RNG, but another easy source of gear up to that level. Note that none of this is required for Dawntrail, which I think will start at around ilevel 620/630, whatever the MSQ dungeons are dropping by 6.5. Don't think of it as required gearing up, but rather as where to look if you want stuff that'll still be useful in early DT. If I were just trying to gear things up without pursuing other goals I think I'd try to do relic weapon and whatever 650/660 I could get for my main job, anyone else I was gearing up would hit the Normal Raids for 640 or buy Diadochos if it's a cheap price and/or I liked the look. Alliance Raid gear would be whatever I could win rolls on to fill in gaps. EDIT: another note, most of those vendors have old tiers of gear as well so double-check that you're buying stuff for the items you want to get. Diadochos crafted gear (certificates of Grade 3 Import), Divine Solvent/Twine/Shine, Credendum tomestone gear. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Apr 3, 2024 |

Jetrauben posted:Yeah, this was what I was hoping for with the crossover. Ah well! The timing has a lot to do with it: A Nocturne of Heroes was released around 2.5 years after FFXV had been properly out, whereas FFXVI's release window is within recent memory, and the PC port still isn't available. It's more of a tastefully done marketing tool than it is a neat tie-in, so getting into the finer details of Clive's backstory and his thoughts on Eorzea vs. Valisthea might be giving too much of the mystery away for potential buyers.

FFXV also got a crossover with FFXIV at the same time which was neat. Maybe there will be something in the last DLC for 16.
