So what's the word on Relic/Zodiac weapons? I resubbed and got my Zenith Relic for posterity but should I bother doing all the Zodiac stuff or just leave it?

Just leave it. You get handed an equivalent to a Zodiac or dreadwyrm at 56. The zenith will be fine for doing 2.0-2.55 story with.

We had the main tank and a dragoon fall off during my bismarck run and we still managed to one-shot it somehow. I did wipe twice on Ravana before a friend and I managed to convince the DPS to stop tunnel visioning the boss and kill butterflies though.

My first ravana fight had a few wipes because people kept falling off. OT kept a wall behind him during his phase, too which didn't help.

I know that this is just a base set you can buy but it looks so good that I might just roll with it for a while.

I'm a little annoyed that the box on the side doesn't change based on the design of the gun (or color scheme), so it's nice to find something that can match.

I'm honestly tempted to keep my 58 tank set for glamour. It looks really pretty.

Halatali NM, me levelling my BLM for The Professional title. SCH healer put themselves on follow on me, and told me to keep up behind the tank, so they could AFK. Because they were doing us all a favor by being there.

/angrynerdmode on

Cue me doing my level best to DPS at the very limits of my range, using the leash distance of SCH and SCH's fairy to leave fairy just outside of range for healing. And to lock fairy and SCH outside of the first boss's door. Got kicked, sent a report.

Have a screenshot for funsies:

Speaking of DRK I just completed the level 50 quest. God drat that whole story was fantastic, I went in expecting Greatsword Batman and instead I got to experience my character having a psychotic break.

Take note of where that 50 quest took place. The people helping you literally pull yourself together absolutely hated you when you first arrived. I also thought my dark side looked legitimately sad when I rejected it. All she wanted to do was help.

I used to think AST weapons would be the coolest, because you'd whack enemies with the astrolabe. But then HW released and you're just doing paper cuts with cards. It's cool, but it's not nearly as cool as whacking a guy with your big, fat tome.


WHM and SCH are actually in a pretty good spot right now. SCH has slightly more single target DPS, and WHM has this hilarious AOE burst in the form of holy spam under presence of mind. It amounts to a hilarious amount of dps on just two targets, and just goes up from there. It's not something you use often due to MP constraints, but when you use it, it feels the best.

It used to be way better before holy got nerfed.

Upgrading Antiquated gear is past Esoterics tomes, not just past Law.

You upgrade Antiquated stuff with items you get from Alexander Savage.

Presumably, there will be a method in 3.1 to acquire those things. Might be tied to Alexander normal once people are done getting their gear.

As with most things, the design probably came first, and then the lore team went and concocted some explanation for what the art team had wrought.

But it still says something that they're actually willing to take the time to polish it up like that. The fact that every last thing in Eorzea's got some sort of story to it, even if it's some tiny blurb in the Sightseeing Log, is why it's a good setting.

The fishing log is a great example of the tiniest detail getting some great story to it. Buoyant Oviforms while common remain a complete loving mystery to eorzean scholars. There's some great flavour in the fishing log.

Meracydia is a continent to the south that used to be inhabited by dragon people, until the Allagans conquered them and killed their ruler, Bahamut.

Apparently catgirls also originate from Meracydia.

Then afterwards, Tiamat was approached by the Ascians and told of a way to bring back Bahamut as a Primal. Who was now filled with rage and NOT the man-dragon that Tiamat loved. Bahamut, the elder primal was captured, put in to Dalamud as a power source for the Crystal Tower and then the Meracydian dragons were enslaved and tortured so they would keep praying to Bahamut.

Oh my god

I don't usually run into PotD pubbies who insist on trying to kill every enemy in every room, but having to deal with them in three different, non-consecutive runs tonight was driving me bonkers. It's really bad when a full party takes as long to clear a set as it would've taken me to speedrun it solo.

Even if you were doing a full 1-50 run avoiding as many fights as possible you'll easily reach 60 well before the endboss, especially since the only difficult fights are in the last set and they throw hordes of rooms filled with three or more enemies at a minimum.



Every person who complains about stubborn pubbies sticking by the open Passage cairn is part of the problem, because the stubborn pubbie is right. Especially if all the treasure chests were already looted.

I only kill EVERYTHING when Fortune is up.
