    Actually doesn't sound so bad... but yeah, way too late. I'm not coming back.

    Apparently the trash encounter in A1 Savage (Faust) requires 6.9k raidwide DPS or it's a wipe. Considering that most DPS classes are hitting a ceiling around 1200 DPS, that leaves 2100 to be picked up by the tanks and healers. Holy crap. Gonna roll in with my static tomorrow, but I don't know...

    Oh. Lol. I got that done like right after you logged off by a master crafter in PF. Sorry. XD

    You're not gonna see me tonight. Got work all day then going to see some RL friends afterwards, and won't be home until after the servers go down. Send a tell to Gankz Fury, Xyltch Fury, or Gentle Giant for an FC invite.

    You can join Fat Chocobo if you want, there's quite a bunch of RR people in there. Gentle Giant, Gankz Fury, or Xyltch Fury should be online right now, just send them a /tell and say that you know me from Rerolled and you want an FC invite.

    Hunting retainers are a godsend. My Rogue retainer is level 57 and can collect most things I need. Looking forward to see what else I can have her gather when she hits 60. My mining retainer, on the other hand, is worthless. I think someone in this thread may have already said it, but...

    Yeah, Chimera Mane is AIDS. Luckily, (on Gilgamesh, at least), Chimera Felt is going pretty cheap; about 16k per bolt. Cockatrice Thigh also seems to have a drop rate that is abysmally low for whatever reason.

    I would absolutely recommend this, just pony up the $18 and transfer over. Even if you don't like the class you leveled up, you'll get a 50% (100%?) EXP bonus for any lower level classes that you level on your main. And Fat Chocobo would love to have you if you need an FC. =)

    You're going to want to start watching the cutscenes now if you haven't started already. After Steps of Fun, get some popcorn ready. There's about 30 minutes of back-to-back cutscenes, but they're extremely well-done.

    Stoneskin is useful for WHMs on fights like T10 with the Prey/Erratic Blaster mechanic. I would absolutely recommend picking it up in case this mechanic ever shows up again and you find your raid without a SCH or AST.

    You can. Base tier for new stuff is 5. When I raised my retainer's iLevel, she was able to start gathering 7 of an item, then 10. My Miner retainer can bring back 15 Myhtrite Sand.

    Yo, I only have two retainers, one of them is a hunter and the other a miner, but even having my hunter run full time, I just need so many different kinds of stuff and in such large quantities that it doesn't really offset the drop grind. Icetrap Leaves, Pudding Flesh, Gelato Flesh, Deepeye...

    I don't need to show you shit. Any SMN worth their weight can easily hit 1k; exceptional SMNs are hitting as high as 1.2k on single-target. Our static BLM and BRD - who don't even main SMN - can both hit 1k single-target. SMNs are the 2nd highest DPS right now, behind DRG.

    That's shit. You should not be proud of pulling 800 on a SMN.

    Lower level stuff should be no problem, but for stuff on your level, you pretty much need Byregot's Blessing.

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Was. I washed my hands of Trion and all of their products. They were very promising in the beginning with Rift, but they made several key mistakes (such as allowing a studio to develop a game with zero overhead while attempting to publish two other games and create a TV show jointly with SyFy...

    They backed themselves into that corner. They were supposed to play hardball during negotiations and they didn't, spitting in the face of the entire international ArcheAge community that for ALMOST TWO YEARS had been gathering opinions and data from the KR and RU versions of the game which we...

    Yeah, we're gonna try to cram in as many runs as we can before maintenance tonight. Most of us are going to be getting 3 pieces (feet, gloves, and head) before Savage comes out. Even if it's a minor iLevel bump, as a static lead it's important that I put in as much dedication as I would expect...

    Only reason I'm holding out for specific drops is because my static group is going to be pushing for fast Savage clears. We're not going to go for world or server firsts, but we don't want gear to be the reason that holds us back from clearing.

    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.

    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...

    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 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...
