I got SMN and SCH, tried getting into a dungeon as SCH and got matched with sprouts at Haukke Manor. The tank said they forgot about the place (and ignored the first room where the first key was), we wiped due to overpulling Succubi, the THM facepulled ahead of the group, and no one else tried to put the Void Lamps out (we almost wiped due to the tank not bothering to aggro the trash, which went to me instead).

So... how do I play SCH? At level 31 I don't seem to have an equivalent to Medica, have a vanilla heal and a heal with shield... I guess I use shield+heal on the tank, then? Which fairy should I have out? I summoned Eos before the final boss and I think that might have prevented us from wiping.

Eos should have been out the whole time. At that level the fairy is 50%of your healing and it’s automated to some degree.

I will say I hate healing on sub 50sch because without aetherflow healing spenders your kit is remarkably incomplete.

Also I’ll agree with Estelle that placing your faerie is generally unnecessary.

Please to be restful, it is only a puffin that has from the puffin place outbroken.
I'm hoping that it's Lahabrea possessing Elidibus, then using Elidibus to possess Zenos. It can be like an Ascian nesting doll.

Finally got some time to start out in Pagos this weekend.

I'm glad they added Eureka challenge logs when they did, because Pagos would have been a total nightmare without them. I haven't been getting invited to any parties, so I've just been grinding out the logs solo. It takes a while, but it's reliable, and you can chug Eurekan Potions to stay alive. It's basically impossible to solo 30-chain, so I'll stop for a quick breather at 10 and let the chain reset. Tanks are safer; DPS is faster.

Some mobs have Adaptation and Mutation abilities which change their properties. It also apparently grants extra EXP equivalent to a 30-chain bonus, which I wish I knew about before I kept stunning them out of it. I'll have to play around with that later. I wonder if it stacks with the actual chain bonus...

And sadly there's no massive NM train rolling over everything since very few players are anywhere close to "finishing" the zone. This could change in the coming weeks, though.

I'm not gonna use the "just watch Netflix" argument since the grind is harsh right now and it's definitely going to turn off a lot of players.

All signs so far point to Elidibus, if only because of Elidibus taking off his hood to show his face to Varis (4.0), people talking about Zenos still being alive (4.1), Zenos being shown alive (4.2), and then Zenos with Varis (4.3).

That said, there is no solid confirmation yet, so they could pull a bait and switch.

If it is Elidibus then before he revealed himself to the emperor he was a normal sized person, then when he takes the hood off he presumably grows like 3 feet taller and 5 feet wider?

Did Moonfire Faire. I detest platforming in MMOs, and this was compounded by people in loving large mounts idling in key parts of the course. Charming story, at least.

Hilariously, I paired the summer outfit with a skirt, but the DRK battle stance is so wide-legged that my WoL's panties are easily exposed, I think I'll just switch to the regular bikini and just dye it to my liking.

Also did Amdapor Hard. Wow. What an aesthetic dungeon. Seriously. Then I started the SB job questline for DRK. I don't like this new character...

All dungeon content is 4 man. Cover the core skills healer/dps/tank and the odds of the last dps causing a total wipe is less.

Pretty much all of the quests in the game are solo'd, with forced group content every few levels in dungeons and trials.

The group content is all done via the Duty Finder which automatically assembles parties based on job roles, so you don't need to run around shouting for people to help you clear content. Of course, that doesn't stop you from partying with friends and then filling in any remaining gaps with the Duty Finder. It's a great system.

The top-end raids are all done with 8-player parties.

Are you serious? I was stunning that poo poo. It’s a huge long cast bar on a dangerous enemy, why wouldn’t I stun it? Why is everything about eureka so stupid and backward?

The chimera NM in anemos could do that too, but it was a bug with the range check on its shock breath thing that was hotfixed. This one is probably intentional though, because Eureka.
