I'd bet this is the tank armor from the 3.2 dungeons instead, since it looks like that Amdapor boss

Can't believe it took a whole page and nobody could identify it right, was just coming to post this.

New patch looks great, Antitower looks great, Lost City looks AMAZING

EDIT: With six dungeons to choose from, Eso grinding won't be so obnoxious this time around, which is swell.

Seriously, upgrade it to Zenith so it glows then just stop there unless you want to sloooowly work on Zeta as a side project. It is never going to hold value to you as an actual combat piece unless you deliberately gimp yourself gear wise.

That looks pretty reasonable. For those that don't want to click: no change in anything you fight via the duty finder. For midas savage or anything you access outside of the duty finder, it penalizes you for duplicating jobs, having three or more tanks, 5 or more dps, or 3 or more healers. It forces you to stick with the 2/2/4 composition but otherwise allows for any combo of ranged/melee dps.

If you're in any of the Goon FCs, there will be crafted level 50 i115 weapons in the FC chest to grab. This is the best "free" weapon you can get. Anything else requires some amount of grinding for tomes or something. Theoretically, since you technically have your own newbie bonus, you could bang out an Ironworks weapon (i130, once upgraded) with relative ease. But the crafted weapon will hold you over until you start getting drops from HW content.

Yes, where ranged consisted of BRD, MCH, SMN, and BLM, so basically "Any static with two casters."

The level 50 relic is a whole lot of work for an item that is beaten by gear you can easily get at level 55 and beyond in Heavensward content and the only contribution it makes to the level 60 relic is letting you skip a relatively easy phase. Also spending time on the relic is time you could be spending getting through the story and dungeons to get into Heavensward. The only reason to get it is if you REALLY want it for glamour and there are a lot of cool looking weapons ahead of you.

(Don't get them off the market boards though, ask someone to pick them up from a vendor or craft you the HQ versions, it's much cheaper, unfortunately you can't access the vendors directly as they're in Ishgard).

Seems like a mix of IV and VI, with a nod to VII at the end of the expansion's base story.

It's not quite as thorough as III got, but I've been pretty excited to see what's next.

Duty Finder is the death of this game. Its so unpersonal doing stuff with cross server players and the world maps are extremly empty with barely any content to do on world map aside from hunting gathering and fates."

Haven't watched it yet--at work--but does that trailer mean 3.2 is dropping next week or so? I got BRD to 59 last night, and wanted to get him to 60 and go through at least one Void Ark (still haven't seen it) before 3.2 drops.

In every respect, except for the latter having guns, I'm liking BRD a whole lot more than 60 MCH. Didn't really expect that.

You can! The chain you have been doing, though, was the 2.0 relic weapon chain, not the new 3.0 version. It is legacy content that caps out at i135, which was outstanding pre-expansion but is now in the middle of the leveling gear range in the expansion.

dromal phrenia posted:

If there isn't an i115 weapon in the company chest, ask if someone in FC chat can hook you up. I have seen multiple folks get HQ gear created for them when they ask for assistance.

From a healing perspective Mizzteq (MTQcapture on Youtube) had a video that was fine imo. But really for SCH on that fight you want to find an image or list of the ability orders in the last phase and pretty much commit them to memory, or use something like ACT Triggers / ACT Timeline if that's your jam. It's less of an issue with higher ilvls now, but missing a succor / virus / soil can be pretty bad news in the last phase.

So, me and my friend are starting our third month. We made our own FC (basically for the Chest), and made some friends. We have a lot of money that we don't know what to do with, and think of buying a house. The problem is: there isn't a lot of info about housing. Should we buy a small house frist, and then can somehow return our money, or save money for the bigger one from the beginning? What the gently caress is even a "class"? I don't think game tells you anything like that. Also, is the game getting more houses? They're pretty much all taken, and it would be nice to actually choose a place. I guess, finally, is it even worth it when story-wise we're barely out of ARR, or should we wait?
Sorry for longass post, it's just that whole thing is confusing and there's nothing I can find.
