Only piece I care about it healer chest for glamour, but body pieces are a bitch to get. I got minion first try but it sucks so don't really care about it. First 2 raids are REALLY boring, especially first one is a super snoozefest. 3rd is mostly boring, 4th is actually kinda fun(although...

The dungeon xp buff seems very substantial. I don't know if it's consistent in all levels since I'm too lazy to scour my old logs to figure it out, but I did a 85 dungeon run right before maintenance and again after maintenance, and it's a flat 50% more xp. Got about 4m xp from one run(need 8.2m...

That or they're necessary grinds so you get sick of it 1week in but you still have to farm the stupid minigame for months. This shit should be cosmetic rewards and stuff, with maybe catchup mechanics at best(so you don't have to do them if you're current).

Yeah they're kinda at the bottom too, but even with this larger than usual gap it's still less than 10% kind of shit, ppl just make it sound like the "bad" classes are unplayable shit but it's fine. Ninja looks kinda weird though so don't know, I'm lvling it now to get it out of the way so I'll...

You can check fflogs but currently SMN is undertuned, does really low dmg for its role. It's still like within acceptable levels and you get a bunch of utility, just the dmg isn't good and I assume they'll be buffing potencies in 6.05 or at least 6.1. At a casual level though that doesn't make...

Literally just buy crafted gear once the patch hits and you'll be full 580. Current gear is pointless other than saving money, it's even technically worse than the crafted gear since you can pentameld that(even if you just throw 50g lvl 7 materias at the pentamelds to save money it's still...

BLM has a ton of options for mobility now though, they already had a bunch but you can for example hold a Triple Cast without any loss since it has 2 charges(well you lose a triple cast during burst window but it's not even that much since you're just triplecasting Fire IVs anyway), you still...

Well the 5% lower dmg or whatever it is wouldn't account for much slower speed when doing dungeons, it's a lot more likely the stat squish and unsynced echo not being properly scaled at all level ranges and overall the usual gap in power not being obvious. That said, the first tier is generally...

RPR is really good and really nice to play, however that + the edginess means it's extremely extremely popular, they're fucking everywhere, which I find a bit annoying. Also annoying to find groups for stuff as a result since a lot of PFs have the no double rule thing on. But it was great fun to...

89 is exactly the same amount of xp as the levels before, besides 80. It's 10 quests exactly(every level is 10quests, other than 80 being 20 since it splits into 2 as usual), which is about 5m xp, not even half the xp needed for 89 to 90. There is a dungeon run too which is like 3.5m xp or so...

I don't know if I'd call them upside down, but basically someone explained it as a waffle toaster kind of thing, the constellation is the lid, and it just "closes" on the arena. So the top of the constellation is the far side from it and the bottom is the close side. There's only like 4...

Man getting those last accessories is such a pain. Just did 5 runs on my tank and not a single accessory I needed dropped(I still need 2 on tank, 1 on healer, 1 on caster, 1 on melee). Gonna have to use totems once I have enough I guess, just annoying cause I'm almost done farming EX stuff, just...

Anima is definitely the easiest, a lot of stuff is easy to do cause it's old and it's just straight grinds with no fancy shit. You do need like 6000poetics or whatever though. Zodiac is absolute ass once you get to the books part, a lot of them require to clear specific ARR fates, which are...

DC visit wasn't gonna be ready by release regardless, if it had been they'd have tested it during 5.58 since they had plenty of time then, but it was likely not done and at that point they just pushed it back to later. It would be pretty good IF you could change to a different region's DC, which...

New congestion post on Lodestone, 14 days of sub added for free(on top of the 7 days they gave already), and they're turning off the sale of the complete/starter as well as Free trial until the situation improves. Also some stuff about opening new servers sometimes next year. 6.05 won't be...

That's cheaper than on my server but haven't checked rest of the DC. Anyway yeah it's just the new way to sell bicolor, in ShB only things you could sell past the initial mats release rush was like orchestrion rolls, and while they had good value, very few ppl wanted to spend 500-800k for a...

You can buy the vouchers on the market. It's basically a way for random ppl to farm gold, but instead of generating gold out of thin air which leads to inflation(see triple turn in leves), you just transfer the gold from the mega rich to new players. It's fine imo, these are basically a status...

Speaking of tank healing, there's already a 8 tank EX trial clear on reddit(1st story trial, the acc one).

As far as I could tell with my limited experience, the snakes just like normal only spawn in set opposite patterns. If a snake is against the wall, the other one is not against the opposite wall, and vice versa. This means you don't have to necessarily look at both snakes, only one. I like...

Oh yeah, you meant to fix the errors and shit, yeah I guess that'd be a possibility although no idea if it'd really be easy for them to switch all the login servers to the cloud. But you'd still have a bunch of queues until they add more actual servers and that's really a large part of the...

Didn't Blizzard servers complete shit themselves for a while and have hour long queues for classic launch?

WAR and PLD already had a lot, but they did buff GNB healing a fair bit, and they buffed PLD and WAR too. DRK didn't really get much in terms of self sustain, although TBN was always a pretty strong tool for that due to the low cd. PLD is still best at keeping someone else alive so you don't...

Most classes are stupid easy at low lvl, stuff really only starts to get semi complex as you get to HW/SB levels and start getting more complex abilities. BLM's pretty fun as you get higher as the rotation becomes more interesting and you get a lot more tools, plus you stop chucking the puny...

Waves? Isn't that the first EX? Although I guess in the story order it's 2nd but since it's weapons it's the one I started with. Cleared on 2nd PF, first was 30mins of people being terrible at the basic stuff but got me to see the core of the fight, then I joined a "clear party must have seen...

Ah yes Diablo 3, the utter failure, could only manage to be the 3rd best selling PC game of all times with only 20million boxes, truly a disaster. Whether you like the game or not, it sold way more than they probably planned to sell. It was a resounding success, however they did "lose" the money...

That's only gonna work if you're lucky there's an empty server on your DC, and during prime time there just isn't any empty servers overall.

The first batch is definitely harsh, I guess cause they wanted to split and not have any personnal instance to prevent Rauhbahn EX but at the same time it's a fair bit longer than the split in ShB which makes it pretty boring. After that though it kinda picks up decently, although there's still...

The combat part is the forced dungeons/trials as well as the solo instances. Admitedly due to how much story there is this time, the pacing feels off at various points because you do A LOT of story before you get to the next combat section. The first dungeon especially comes really late but even...

Why do they have the cutscenes in the PTR builds though? Surely they could just have placeholders instead?

As mentionned, start at 85. Entirely optional as they only reward the ability to dye your AF job gear. There's titles for them but not for individual jobs sadly, which really sucks since titles don't really require any work. The story quality so far varies from "absolute trash tier" for the...

So was planning to do GNB for my tank but then saw some WAR meme on reddit and checked out the skills a bit more, did some sidequests/FATEs to 81 and did a dungeon and gotta say WAR is really fucking fun with the self healing, so probably just gonna do that instead. Now you can just pop Raw...

Well yeah if you do sidequests you'll be overleveled. Early on you get more xp from the MSQ(cause of the split thing they do every expansion) so you'll be like 2lvls above normally but as you progress you get less than you need every level so it evens out halfway, but any side activities will...

That's just the role quests stuff, non repeatable, same as Crystarium deliveries. Also gives pretty shitty xp overall, still worth doing since it's easy and relatively cheap though but yeah that's not customs.

No new custom for now, in ShB it was 5.1 so I'd expect the same. I have a bunch of deliveries to make with the last 2 NPCs to fully cap them(150 achievement thing) so I'm not in a hurry, plus there's very little to do with scrips for now. And yeah quicksynthing your way to 90 is definitely very...

Na just wanted to get it out of the way, but you can slow lvl it. The only thing you can do atm is prepare crafting gear(which is white non starred gear so it's piss easy to craft) and farm materias or whatever. There's absolutely no rush for really anything. All the current combat gear gets...

There's currently no 90 combat gear, highest is 88 stuff like the ones you get from the MSQ. That's because 90 gear is added along savage, when they release tome materials as well as add master books(currently no books for crafting). The ilvl should be 580, same as the current EX drops and...

Alright done with that stuff, was surprisingly fast and cheap, only spent like a million on mats, I guess part of it is how easier it is to gather large amount of mats and how much more xp you get out of leves it feels like. 3leves self crafted is usually a level up, plus the external xp(2+ lvls...
