    So what I read was Aladain is fronting the bill for all of us to have eight retainers! Yay!

    Penn & Teller: Fool Us

    Shin Lim's slight-of-hand with the pen vanishing was superb, but you can tell when he got rid of it (his right hand goes down to below the table height). Still not sure if the pen is collapsible or not, because his motions were just that dexterous.

    I was doing my daily hunt bills for them (about 100k/120k/140?k for 1/2/3 respectively) so that adds up over time. Also some roulettes and 50+ dungeons thrown in. I'm not in a huge hurry, but I've gotten ACN (SCH/SMN) to 56 with that method after a few days.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Finally got around to seeing this. Damn if those action sequences weren't amazemeballs. This was the first movie in a while where I was a bit on tenterhooks because of them.

    Chimera Mane is on the battlecraft ventures (I think it's L60). YOU'RE WELCOME FOR NAGGING YOU. @WageSlave - Do your daily hunt bills as the alt class, at least the I/II and some of the III bills should be fairly painless for the most part. Doing anything on Azys Lla will probably...

    I'm still secretly hoping Alkorin will resign the LS to me. =p That said, Valos may well have invite privileges to the original (real?) Rerolled LS that was set up way back in beta phase 4/"early release" (since the data wasn't wiped). I left it a loooong time ago, when errbody was quitting in...

    RE: Pyros + AST Largely in agreement with the cooldowns. If Lightspeed reduced recast times by about 1.0s-1.5s it would be far more awesome than it is now (and would have to have a duration nerf, likely). As it is, it doesn't really merit its current functionality except for "rapid" AEs.

    3 per rank, so once you finish the first rank, you can do 6, then 9*, then all 12*. * - Used to be 6 beast tribe dailies, out of all of them (6 allowances), but 3.0 raised it to twelve, so hypothetically you can do 6 for two tribes at once, or start with 4 tribes by doing all their three...

    Doesn't seem like there's a big difference between Preliminary and Full patch notes, specifically only thing added was a couple **IMPORTANT RED NOTE** sentences, and the fact that Soldiery mats are on the GCs now... which still were not mentioned as getting a rank boost, nor Chocobo rank maxes...

    Did that today too. :P The launcher completely froze up while updating the expansion files, so I aborted it (via task manager). It acted as if all was well when I reran its .exe, but to be safe I reinstalled the whole damn game. 23G download, did everything fine while I was afk at work, but...

    As of this writing, it's functioning fine for me (on Win 7 64-bit). The black window sounds like it's not connecting properly to the server that provides you the launcher content. Check to see if the launcher update required you to reauthorize/de-firewall it, is all I've got.

    That's correct. They haven't made anything that's an exception to this, anyway. On the subject of leves, I'm really curious how hard the 10-allowance ones will be (and/or if they are THAT MUCH HIGHER a reward).

    lol, wow. They hit Lustrate HARD for nerfing, but I almost called how. No longer 25% of max hp, but 600 Cure Potency now.Lustrate cannot save a tank's ass if it's under -heal debuffs, and/or the SCH is in Cleric Stance. Ramuh Ex just became "must tank swap" nao.

    XOXO for the SCH stuff. Dissipation is completely craycray good, such that I can see why it's the Lv 60 now. The notes say they changed quite a bit of the Arcanist and Conjurer/White Mage abilities. Any details here?

    Premade parties can opt-out of level sync, is what it basically is. There's also a "sync to lowest ilvl" feature for some of the time-attack challenges that are supposedly coming in 3.0(?) too.

    I got the impression that since it will take "the same time" to level 50-60 as 1-50, and the i130 comment, that we'll be seeing roughly +20 ilvl per 2 post-50 levels (assuming i90 at 50). Exactly how we're getting that, I can't help but wonder if it'll actually be Soldiery/Poetics gear.Then...

    Not necessarily on the 'everything', because of all the Machinist/Astrologian/Dark Knight levelling. It really depends on how many of the first are being levelled. If anything, it might be like the weird Syrcus queues I was having last night where NO DPS WERE QUEUEING. How is it poor...

    They allowed delivery of Titan/Ifrit/Garuda, so it seems weird they wouldn't put Leviathan/Ramuh/Shiva gear on the GC tables as well. Soldiery and HA gear seem a natural extension, though more likely the Coil gear will end up as desynth bait for later on in the way Allagan Silk/Leather/Wootz...

    Aetherial/Pink quality items have random secondary stats that can roll in ways as to be a difference of 1 in stats (assuming they roll the same TYPE of secondary stats). All other, non-crafted gear has set stats and does not randomize that I know of. (Crafted items vary due to HQ versus...

    I interpretted this to mean the attacks behave more like Monks. Lower potency (numbers mostly unchanged from now) unless you use the positional for higher. So, say, Dancing Edge or Shadow Fang gets the flanking/rear required in order to do the debuff.

    Classes (not jobs) get 10 cross-class skills (at Lv50), and have a larger variety to choose from. Jobs are restricted to two "subclasses" for their cross-class skills, of which they can have 5 at Lv50 instead of the 10. I'm guessing this is why it seems there's more. EX - Dragoon can use...
