Man, this Fisher questline sure is laid back.

O-oh, okay then.

Hey just because you're a bad person doesn't mean you can't have nice chill hobbies where you share friendly banter with legendary heroes that just want to catch one more of the right loving fish.

How do I get in on the hunt trains in Excalibur? Is there a linkshell?

How Wonderful!: Jul 18, 2006; I only have excellent ideas

I saw this glam on someone's yard-retainer, so I was unable to check their gear myself-- but does anyone know what arm piece this is? I love the tucked up sleeve a lot and would love to be able to steal this look.

I've carried exdrs where the healers are bad and die multiple times with me raising and becoming the healer and also using mana shift on the healer. And got jack for commends.

What is with this patch cycle and the bad healers? I have never dropped dungeons so often because the healers want to slack off. From scholars who want to just sit and have their faerie do everything to white mages to don't press any of their AOE abilities and single target heal.

I really don't know. I've basically solo healed and carried whole parties on my back multiple times.....I did it for a ENTIRE WEEK basically with no comms at all. Then I played Paladin and off tanked for two weeks as a break and I've been getting consistently 3 comms for largely doing jack poo poo.

Eikon Leather Armguards. Cuts off whatever sleeve you have on the right arm with that armband.

Am I late for commend talk?

1st O12N clear for me, 2 wipes, 2 deaths, 0 commends

(The RDM and WHM deserved all the commends though so that's fair)

Well, this one is an actual fire zone, so it's more literal than usual.

Joking aside, did Eureka get any better from day one where it was either mash your rotation out for 10 hours fighting trash or follow a train of RDM to a Fate and watch your framerate drop?

It actually managed to get worse with the second iteration of eureka

It was kind of impressive that way, yes.

Can't wait for the playerbase to be split between three different eureka zones now too, totally sustainable.

You got a challenge log, so you could cut that trash fighting to like 2 hours for more exp. :v:

My guess is it was a Party Member number 4 macro, since that is usually a DPS in dungeons.

get in on one hunt and then ask if anyone there can invite you to a LS, is the easiest way

The feels when DDoS and general lag has screwed you out of a clear all week, you find somebody with gold parses to fill in on Monday night while you're racing server maintenance, and then when all is said and done their parse comes back as a 9/100.

At least we got the page (fill in had already cleared for the week, somehow).

Was it a healer? Healers with gold parses are not to be trusted.

Item of most interest (for me)

New prizes are available for purchase using MGP.

"Rise of Heroes" (Chiptune Version), is a combination of "Rise" and "Heroes."

https://xivhunt.net/ lists their spawn windows. The client is the real treat though, and gives you the location pin in chat. It works by having someone who also runs the client encountering the mob, and typically people that do hunt trains will be running this. It's basically the same thing guildworks did in AAR.

It also has a /perform macro thing that works pretty well, so that's fun to mess with.

Pyros looks incredibly bad, which is really impressive since it's following up Pagos
