Earlier this week I started blitzing Sage to 79 just because I was curious what their Mt. Gulg weapon looked like, and the most obvious solution was to just get sage to that point since I had almost all of the armor drops anyway and could guarantee the weapon in a couple runs (I kinda hated it when I did get it tbh). Since then I’ve ended up continuing to play sage. Up to 84 right now. It’s fun! I’m sure this is true for Scholar too, but I really like how fast shields can come out now. As I’ve gotten my feet wet with the job I’ve had a few instances where I had to clutch out some shields that I know for sure wouldn’t have caught the damage I was trying to mitigate in Shadowbringers, but now I put them up and a mere moment later the damage goes out and I see them wear off. It’s awesome.

Speaking of Sage weapons, I feel like all of them are at least a bit disappointing. I wish the 89 ones dyed better, and I honestly don't like any of the non-Wing types.

Yeah the Cryptlurker ones work well with my glam.

I also like the ones from Dohn Mheg, and there's a crafted set with some purple effects that look good. Can't remember the name.

I like the Cryptlurker ones in theory and as their own thing, but they feel a bit too non-tech. I like the high-tech look of the AF ones. Also I like how the Wings are while sheathed, the Pendulum and Milpreve types don't look as cool on my back imo.

My Sage testimony is that I was in Dalmasca last night and couldn't get myself to run in the right direction through confusion to get out of an AoE on the last boss. So I just flew to my tank with Icarus and was safe at the last second. It will be hard to play a healer without a dash now.

Here are my G13/Razer Naga keybinds for MCH. I tend to keep the main combo on the "ASD" equivalent of it. (G13 left, Naga right, I only use the radial one since I think the full 12 button one would be too much).




Movement is done with the G13's joystick. I honestly bought this thing for FFXI 10 years ago and never used it. Dug it out for FFXIV and now I can't live without it :v: Too bad it's been discontinued for years.

I don't even know why I have it here, I figured I would've left it when I moved out and halfway across the country. But it was a lifesaver.


e: Chainsaw isn't nearly as flashy as Air Anchor/Drill and I am super disappointed in it. There's just no "oomph" to it and I find myself double checking my hotbars to see if it even went off.

As someone with 3 resistance weapons and the mount for getting all the notes, I find Eureka super tedious and I bounced off at the second zone. The challenge log only gets you like a level or two max, and the cap is sixty. And I played FFXI. Which is why I really want to finish Eureka so I can get the AV minion without paying millions of gil. :argh:

Does anyone else have a bit of visual overload during the fire/light phase of E1S? It's not particularly hard since you can move with the group for the most part but the glowy floor + the multiple set of orbs circling him + him swinging his chains all at once make it really hard for me to parse what's actually happening in a way I've never had before in any fight, Savage or otherwise.

If feels like that mechanic was originally going to be two different floor colors that you had to switch between but they pared it back last minute :v: I could swear the Normal mode only has one set of glowing orbs but I could be wrong.

And speaking of farming dungeons for hours for a single glam, finally got the Skalla jacket of aiming for my "formal" MCH glam. Took like 3 days of farming that on and off, I swear I got literally every other piece of gear from that dungeon before this one dropped.

So with all of the universal praise I've been seeing for Endwalker, I'm considering trying FFXIV out for the first time. I imagine these questions have been covered elsewhere in the thread but I skimmed several pages and didn't see the topic discussed; apologies if these have been answered recently:

1) From what I can tell, there is literally no way to start a new account right now due SE's "fix" for the congestion issues. Is that correct, or is there some backdoor way to create a new account if I'm willing to skip the free trial or something? If there's no way in for new players, have they definitively announced when they'll be opening up again?

2) I have not seriously played an MMO since burning out on progression raiding in WoW a decade ago. I have since grown old, had kids, and don't have time like I used to for gaming. Is it possible to make meaningful progress through the storyline while playing maybe a half dozen hours a week, or am I setting myself up for disappointment - is it going to take me years to get to the interesting story beats? Mostly I'm just looking to check out the story and experience some low key dungeon stuff.

1) The game is not on sale right now, but they have announced it coming back on Jan 25, when the new Oceana data center opens. They have not announced a return of the free trial.

2) While there is plenty to do outside of story, the story itself is pretty much a standalone JRPG's worth of plot for each expansion. The base game before Heavenward is about 50-60 hours.

Nothing like solo killing 40 robots to spawn a FATE, to then spawn the FATE I need, only for the drop rate to be obscenely low, requiring an hour wait for the cool down after.

As someone who farmed all the notes, I feel you. The Steel and Flame notes were killer, a good 30% of my time farming notes was for just that one.

Do any other Sages have trouble healing/shielding through wall-pulls in the 81 dungeon? That's twice in a row that my tank has melted once they have 7-8 mobs on them, despite me putting as much Haima, Zoe'd E.Diag, Physis+Holos, and Soteria on, and doing as much DPS as I can. They seem to be using cooldowns as far as I can tell, so it's not just a lack of CDs.

Yeah I feel a SGE can't really handle a W2W on the last set of mobs on that dungeon. Even after getting my rotation down, tanks still melt just because of how hard those mobs hit.
