    I've done over 10 runs of both A2 and A3 and still haven't gotten my drops from those. Did about 20 runs of A1 before I said screw it and settled for a Pedal instead of a Chain.

    Leveling desynth in HW is absurd. You can't even start desynthing the new stuff until you hit 100 desynth, and good luck getting there on BSM...

    Make sure your buttons for Shoulder Tackle, Form Shift, Snap Punch, and Demolish are easily accessible and you should never have a problem target switching.

    You could come join Fat Chocobo! We have a lot of players at level cap doing content together. (There's a Bismarck Ex prog going on as I type this.)

    Let's be honest, you're getting carried by their gear. All of those people still suck.

    Hell no lol. Ravana EX is the most difficult Ex Primal to date. Difficulty-wise, I'd say it's as hard as T6, mechanics-wise, it's slightly less complex than T9 (there are a LOT of mechanics to memorize).

    Difficult four man content would be extremely obnoxious, mechanics would have to be relatively simple due to not having much to work with from a design standpoint and the mechanics that they did manage to implement would probably be extremely unforgiving considering that in a 4-man, if one of...

    Sweet. Send a tell to Irene Adler, Gentle Giant, or Gankz Fury - one of them should be online. Tell them you're one of Krip Tini's friends.

    Need a Free Company? There's a few people from Rerolled in Fat Chocobo <LB4> and we could help you gear up/give you people to group with that aren't terribad. Most of us high-levels are going to be busy the next few days with the release of Alexander, but we could help you run story dungeons...

    It's called "ReCliqued," I think Jaen has invite power. When I get home from work today I can upload my RainbowMage config to Mega and you can try just downloading and installing that. I've configured it pretty thoroughly to make it work well.

    My static is looking for a DRG and a WHM/AST for Alexander Normie/Savage raiding. Raid times are W/Th 8pm - 11pm PDT. Please reply or PM me if you're interested or want more information.

    My group and I only bothered clearing it once, and we were all i145, so for us, the DPS check was substantial. You can say that you will kick people for low DPS and actually do it, just if people ask how you know they're doing low DPS, don't answer the question or say something like "I've been...

    Cleared and farmed Ravana Ex today. I had to play it on my NIN because he had better weapons than my MNK (I'm switching my main to MNK), and both of them had low item levels (around i150). Had to REALLY push my DPS in order to pull my weight, but I succeeded! I got 6 Hive tokens and the i190...

    Bismarck and Ravana Ex are both very challenging. (Ravana especially is extremely unforgiving.)

    Being able to heal while moving is actually an amazing benefit and can be used to trivialize some mechanics. For example, think about Megaflare Dives from T13 (or just Megaflare in general). If one of the people that got the marker took damage from a random splash flare or one of the...

    Spear is an amazing card, why would you ever Royal Road that? Give it to a Dragoon, Ninja, or Summoner and their DPS will spike pretty significantly after it wears off. If you don't have any of those, you can give it to yourself for more emergency heals or more cards. If you're going to RR...

    I disagree with this completely. Benefic might have 20 less potency and the class might have less "oh shit" buttons, but as long as the healer isn't retarded, ASTs are amazing. Cards are fantastic and I would always prefer to have an AST over a WHM.

    The Mexicans that clean my house and do all of the yardwork are fantastic. Always in great spirits, get the job done well and quick, and very friendly (though it's not like I'm flluent enough in Spanish to have any conversation with them that's more meaningful than small talk). They don't...

    It won't, because they don't give a shit. During contract negotiations with XLGames for publishing ArcheAge, they were FULLY AWARE of all of the problems with the game, because for a whole year the international ArcheAge community (which I was a visible figure of) had been presenting them with...

    I read MSQ and job quest dialogue and watch MSQ and job quest cutscenes, but I skip almost all of the dialogue for sidequests with the exception of actual storylines (like the CT and Coil quest lines.) The post-50 pizza delivery quests are cancer and I can't believe most of them weren't cut...

    You have to unlock Hunts through Grand Company first, I think. You need to be a certain rank and then grab the quest from your GC HQ. Youmightget bonus Law tomes for running those High Level dungeons for your first time on your level 60 character. I'm not positive. But if you have the time...

    He's a good senior producer, but he's a terrible CEO. While he was producing EQ2/Rift, I really enjoyed those games. That being said, I've disagreed with almost every business decision he's made at Trion since he came back as CEO. He makes the company money, yes, but the games are terrible...

    Eh... Careful Synthesis I isn't good IMO. At level 50, WVR gets Careful Synthesis II, which can be a game-changer. (120% progress, 100% success, 0 CP).

    AFAIK, the amber only comes from Temple Leves, but I could be wrong. Yes, you get double the EXP for an HQ item. At level 50 it's not going to be much, but as soon as you hit 51, it's going to spike up.

    Press Ctrl + U to access your Timers window, then click on "Supply and Provisioning." Bring those items to the office at your GC HQ. There is no quest, you just give those items to the officer at the HQ.

    I don't think they got the utility they needed to stay relevant for cutting-edge progression. My initial thought while playing one at E3 was that their damage was gonna be too low, but having played one at home now I really don't feel like that is the case; their damage is on-par with MNK. I was...

    After being disappointed with NIN at 60, I've been doing nothing but grinding out MNK for the past two days. Went from 17-48 doing almost nothing but FATEs in N. Thal. Help.
