    Namazu mount kinda rules. But if yer leveled past it with everything- not so much.

    Yeah fat cat is probably the only real point of the fisher retainer. I'm sure there is some edge case CUL scenario where it's helpful. But eh. If you have 3, I would 100% set one to a combat class.

    It would for the min ilvl shenanigans Asmon is doing, and MAY for everyone post stat squish. Depending on how rough that ends up.

    I think I figured out the doom organically the rest of that fight was ????

    There’s actually quite a bit of mechanics in those raids if you actually have to do them and not just dps blast all the things.

    Gearing out crafters is the typical money sink if/when you start that. Otherwise it’s saving for a house and or buying the top end crafted gear. You gain substantial amounts of cash just playing normally and tossing shit on the mb, sending out retainers, etc.

    That doesn’t bode well for the short term.

    OK minor exaggeration. Still 600+ and not being able to display the character is way closer to the xpac release usual. There are 3! instances of rising stones, took ~10 mins or so to get in, definitely getting there.

    If you've got some buddies to group up with for Savage Alex, that part will be pretty fast. Not super effiecient to do solo. Most people just grind out Brayflox (hard) which takes quite awhile. I mostly did that, and then double dipped on HSW fates for memories to knock out another 2 relic...

    Demo is the free trial. Steam is fine generally, but if you buy the game on steam- you'll need to buy the expacs through steam going forward.

    His chat is an entirely different level of sperg than most. Then again... so is he. I can't see that he'd ever put up with a solid month of story. But that's amusing, his chat hates the shit outta wow, or at least how he plays it.

    That healer lb was clutch as fuck. They almost blew it right after tho. That was skin of your teeth shit.

    yeah my fc on gilg has been complaining. Huge sub wave or more likely some kinda ddos afoot. Every server being congested is a tad suspicious.

    It's kinda like TF2 imo, or some other kind of zerg team based fps. The daily is an absurd amount of xp tho.

    Yeah took him 10? ish wipes. Which is actually not bad for the min ilevel and no echo shenanigans he was doing. Definitely needs to work on his cooldowns and using his resources.

    Just follow the pack- they're both very chill. If they're all shrubs. Well... Its still easy will just take longer.

    Thats probably the fastest way now. Grinding ishgard restoration will take your soul tho.

    I was actually going for a bored super model look. But it falls apart as the other facial expressions are too genuine, lol. Oh well, they are tweaking the models so they can more easily add hair styles to the viera and hrothgar. Still waiting to see how the hat situation works out, but i'm...

    There is some cool mounts and gear to get from PVP. But wacky doesn't even begin to describe actually playing it.

    They look bored. The faces are well animated during emotes, but the resting face is very bored. But the other face options were too much for me.

    Quin69 is trying FF14 now. Zeitgeist is real. Unlike Asmon, I don't think he'll dig it. Benchmark is out, jeez the bunny boys are ... well the best i've been able to manage is bored and pretty.

    Best bet is the discord. Otherwise fun with regex is n your future.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'd wouldn't be shocked if the bunny boys are in the benchmark character creator- depending on how far along they are. So you can get your phantasia setup if you're leaning that way.

    I was generally undergeared while leveling alt jobs. Partly for some vague challenge, and partly cuz cheap and lazy, but unlike tanks and dps, being undergeared is really rough as a healer. The job quests were especially stark for scholar- all their larger throughput heals are on cooldowns...

    Act install is way easier now, don’t install anything manually- the plugins basically have all the standard overlays built in now.

    The birb sucks as a tank, I wouldn’t put points there til you max the other 2. The tank barding you get is also uggo. The dps and healer ones are pretty nice tho. Drg and whm

    Rip. I finished my arr relic. Didn’t do the e teapot follow up but that’s a heck of a grind. Almost done with a hsw one now. Grinds ahoy.

    They're not gonna bother with another race admittedly- but it would be cool to have a more uhh "menacing" shorty race.
