Finally tried the first extreme as a solo healer last night. Went pretty well on my end, got all the CDs for phobos and styx figured out. Got four kills. I think at this rate I’m gonna have 99 totems before I get the mount, been rolling poorly and only seen four of them. Chris, I think the...

Yea. I had to turn down non-party members spell effects when I started really grinding out there before EW.

My brother mentioned something about warrior threat when he was tanking Pandemonium last night. I figured he was just drunk or playing badly. But he said basically the same thing.

It can’t be said enough, Expedient is fucking baller in the current extreme trials. Do you need it? No. Does it help immensely while learning? Yes. I am also mostly pugging the ex’s and will be doing the same for the savage next week. Have got 6 RL buddies playing, but a couple don’t seem...

Has anyone done the first trial extreme with just one healer? I got my AST up to 90, 575 the other day. Healed six or so clears of the extreme last night. Man that Macrocosmos move is perfect for the six hit stack mechanic (styx). I felt like I was doing most of the healing. May try to 1 heal it...

Gonna be teaching my buddies the second extreme trial tonight. The only thing I’m confused on is the lightwaves (not 1 and 2). How does the tank decide which side of the arena to take the group to for the stack up followed by the spread during lightwaves toward the end of the fight?

Anyone know where I can buy something like these? I think it'd be a cool gift for my mom for Christmas.. I'm late buying stuff as usual, kinda figured I could just order it and tell her it's in the mail.

Anyone tried leveling 80-90 in Zadnor or Bozja? One of my buddies says people are leveling that way. My AST is 83, was planning to just spam dungeons, but if Zadnor is faster then that’s what I’ll do.

Lol my go to is “hey boys and catboys”

Couple of tips for those: on the second lightlwave, you’re going to make a Z pattern around that center Crystal. You can identify which side to start on by looking to see which wave spawns first as she finishes casting lightwave. For the chakrams, you’ll want to position yourself between the...

Looking forward to data center visits so I can play with y’all. I’m oh Crystal, which kinda sucks, but at least the queues aren’t like the other data centers.

I spent a few hours yesterday learning the second primal extreme. The group I got the clear with took about 4 hours to do it, but we weren’t on discord. I’m not sure which of the two I think is harder. Second one requires quite a bit more individual responsibility. First one you can just follow...

I put some time in on the first trial extreme today. Any tips for finding the safe spot when the snakes are in play? That seems to be the last mechanic that I can’t quite figure out fast enough. Maybe the snakes are visible earlier than when I’m looking for them, I dunno. Spent 3 or so hours...

Role quests unlock at level 85 in the MSQ. You can’t miss them, it takes you right to them and has a dialogue box to click through about them.

Yep same here. I hit a roadblock at 88, needed to do one dungeon to hit 89 and continue MSQ. Otherwise just mainlined MSQ

It’s incredible what quality music can do for player enjoyment.

Really glad to hear that. I’m going to finish up MSQ tonight, leveling AST is next on the list.

First trial is awesome. Pretty challenging for a first trial, too. The dungeons have had a lot going on in them as well. So far it's all been fun, engaging content. (edit: except as pyros said, the "follow without being seen" crap) Looking forward to doing the dungeons with my buddies, they're...

I’m on the fence about BLM or RDM. Played BLM since ARR so it’s my most comfortable job. But I’m trying to get my buddies to do extremes and savage when they come out. Leaning toward RDM so I can res on our progress stuff. Only played RDM in Palace, HOH, and Zadnor though. Not sure I’m as good...

I’m hopeful they’ve used the extra two weeks to ensure it will be playable. When SB launched there were a couple of solo duties early on that caused people to stall out. You had to talk to Raubahn to start the first, and Pippin to start the second. The instance servers got overloaded and people...

When you buy endwalker you’ll get two codes. One for early access, one for endwalker cd key. You can go ahead and plug in the early access code at the mog station. Have to wait until later this weekend (I think) to apply the cd key. Edit: if you have your level 80 exp earring, then you already...

Early access starts on the third.

Shiiiiiiiit I’m 6/6/0 and I’ve spent a ton of time in there for my relics and my brother’s grind as well. I think I’ve only ever had the duel buff twice though, and once I wasted it in a Dalriada. Stupid Crystal data center.

I didn’t mind that step so much. I leveled one job to 80 and another about half way from 71-80 doing that step of the quest. I really like how you can use Zadnor to level other jobs while working on the resistance weapon(s). Think I only had to run a handful of raids to finish up the memories...

DR has a mechanic where getting hit by any two mechanics within a minute will result in death. First time you get hit you get a debuff called twice comes ruin, second time you get hit you get doom and die. Lot less forgiving than CLL.

Well, I hope it's not too late to change my PTO for expansion launch.

Level two or three jobs up as you do MSQ. Otherwise you’re “wasting” exp.

Create your own learning party and dust the haters off. Titania and Innocence are super easy now.

Honestly I’m just glad to see them enjoying the content. And also glad it’s been more of a challenge than they anticipated. I don’t think they had any clue how challenging ffxiv content could be. I will say, watching them struggle makes me a bit nervous for my static going into EW. We’ve never...

The last rapid of the Upper Gauley is known as Fluffy Box of Kittens. It used to be named Guide's Revenge, because it's easy to dump the whole boat while staying in for the guide. Our guide took it easy on us, because of the dude with emphysema. Still almost got two of us, but Kevin (our guide)...

These are the videos from my white-water rafting trip this weekend. Some friends and I went to the Gauley River in West Virginia. We stayed at Ace Adventure Resort and did a reverse Gauley trip. You do the lower Gauley the first day and the upper the second day. Upper is quite a bit more intense...

Here's the video for the white-water rafting pictures I posted yesterday. Again, this is our run through Pillow Rock. The goal for us was to touch the rock with our paddle or hand. The guide had other plans, he was seeing how much of the front of the boat he could get up on the rock. I half-way...

Went to the Gauley river again this year. Our guide took a different strategy for Pillow Rock. Instead of skirting it and smacking it with paddles, he played “pillow game” and tried to get as much of the boat on the rock as he could, while we tried to smack it with our paddles. I’m back left...

The one reread I did of this series I skipped anything that wasn’t dialogue or action.

Wow that yellow team is an absolute disaster. Also LOL at Jeff referring to the survivors as “guys” on two separate occasions this episode, despite last episode’s faggotry on removing “Come on in, guys!”

Been leveling up SAM recently. I really like the job. It just feels good to play; the animations and sound effects are great, and the whole job just seems really well put together. It seems to be more “busy” than I’m accustomed to with other jobs (I haven’t played NIN or MNK). The Kenki gauge...

There’s a setting in there somewhere to automatically skip cutscenes you’ve already seen.

Man I loved that game on my Xbox 360. Was my first exposure to the game, but clearly there are earlier iterations. I’d be interested in playing a new one, if anyone knows where I I find that. Also really enjoyed Trials HD on my360. If there’s a modern version of that I’ll ask for recommendations...

Yea it’s a cool class. Saw your earlier post about doing it wrong. I also played it wrong for a week or so. I was using the procs in place of verthunder and veraero, instead of in place of Jolt. Once I realized that, the Acceleration move made a lot more sense, and everything just flows together...
