Shards/crystals is the one thing bots are good for, the prices are pretty low so it's worth just buying them, although you have to keep track of the prices a bit and check other servers, since sometimes for whatever reason one type will go up like crazy for a few days. Ymmv depending on how...

It is somewhat overtuned compared to some other dungeons, but is overall not that hard, it does have weird quirks though, like how the pulls aren't clearly defined with walls. There's walls, but pulling wall to wall is pretty brutal to heal and tank because it has many high damage mobs and the...

Get MGP FC buff(via FC or via the tickets from the weeklies squadron stuff) and do Fashion Report. It's 60k every week, with just that, and generally takes about 5mins and 2 to 50k gold depending on the items. After that you can either do challenge log with the minigames+GATE stuff(that's like...

Oh so fucking nothing then, good. Oh well, have plenty of games to play until Endwalker and then should last enough time until Lost Ark with more filler games inbetween.

To be fair, they don't really "throw their lot" with anything, it's just kinda stupid to release 2 mmos close to each other, even if they weren't ran by the same company. It'll just make more money to delay them, and since they control both release dates, it makes even more sense to do so(and...

Some of it changes yeah, but it's not adapted further after more events pass, it's like 4.0 events only, so with everything happening after until 4.3 and stuff, it just doesn't make much sense anymore.

The class quests were originally meant to be something you did at the "correct" level, so they actually lined up nicely enough. I played MNK for SB's launch, and I did the quest in parallel with the MSQ so they weren't out of place, but yeah if you do them separately or after the fact, they...

This was specifically for new classes which start 10levels lower. There's no new storyline for these until you reach 80. Speeding through that part asap(and especially getting to 71 so you can do Bozja) actually somewhat matters, since you get to the new content faster and can potentially do EX...

Can't do Trusts at 70 iirc? As I mentionned my plan is to turn in 30 sidequests(I left a lot of them in the 2nd half of Kholusia and Ahm Aereng) and then do one leveling roulette, that's what I did when I played DNC first in ShB, although that's assuming I go with Reaper or Sage, which I'm...

Yep, although it's generally pretty quick to catch up cause you get armory bonus(the full one, currently it's 50% for these levels but after expansion it's 100% cause it's not the cap anymore)+earring(as long as you preorder which you should anyway since it's an expansion, and you can "preorder"...

I don't think I saw anyone mention it but they announced next Live Letter will be on September 18th(11AM Japan time). Will have the combat info stuff, like the new skills every classes are getting and likely a demo of the 2 new jobs. Probably some more stuff too, but definitely something to...

They already trimmed, could trim more but I guess they still wanted a certain experience with it. Hopefully once they start 7.0 they just offer a way to bypass the entire current story arc for new players, with a new summarized start that basically act as a boost. I think 7.0 would be a good...

There would be a better way(as in higher dmg), and that'd be what you'd end up doing though. And filling just one bar is even more boring, since you're literally just spamming the same 2 buttons as it fills up. The class is boring and I hate it, but it's designed to be simple for people who...

A lot of the classes are realistically "impossible". Some have 1 to 3 clears, and generally by the same 2-3people worldwide who just spam potd all day like Angelus Demonus. It's pretty easy to check the scoreboards and see the classes are nowhere equal when it comes to potd(it's a bit better for...

MCH is actually the strongest class in potd currently, although it is somewhat harder to learn than RDM but has many advantages over it. The main issue with MCH is Behemoth, which is noticeably harder than on RDM since you can't heal, but you make up for that by having a much easier time in the...

Na most dungeons follow the same pattern after HW, basically 2packs > wall/door/bridge/whatever > 2packs > wall > boss, repeat twice. Sometimes it's 3packs, sometimes 1pack, but still the same concept overall and since you pull everything together at the wall, it doesn't really matter. The xp...

I remember the Sunday scaries, when you had a literrature report on Monday but you hadn't even started reading the book yet so you're trying to speed read it but you know there's just enough time and you have no idea what's going on in the story so you just make up some generic shit and hope...

Iirc AV has level sync to 49, which means item sync to 49 also, which is basically nothing. I remember they changed some shit in AV though so might have changed but otherwise people doing it wouldn't be any better than if you had say AV gear. Then on top of that, people having gear doesn't help...

Leves are not good for combat no. Neither are FATEs really, although they were buffed so they're not terrible. Could probably do one char on FATEs before it gets too boring. Other than potd, it's just dungeons. Honestly DPS queues aren't that bad. While waiting, you can do beastmen daillies(not...

While RNG plays a part, it's more knowledge and focus that matter, a lot of the RNG can somewhat be edged out with proper play and decision making but you need to learn a lot of stuff like what type of detection every monster has, what monsters can be killed without poms, which can be killed...

I'm not sure why one would pick RDM for potd if it's party based anyway, I mean it's not bad but it's not really much better than anything else I think, weird choice but I guess he wanted to level it, or he listened to chat telling him stupid stuff. But yeah in that case it's much much easier...

A tank should be able to solo mobs even at high floors, although some of them have gimmicks and some will still punch your face in if you don't have Steel on, so guess he took it too carelessly. That said people can rez at least in parties. PotD is deceptively hard once you get to high floors...

You can just level it by fishing normally. Unlike the other 2 gathering which are slow as fuck, Fishing actually gives pretty good xp, so you can for example go around completing your fishing log while getting xp. Once you reach HW+ you can also fish a few scrip fishes to speed up the process...

Yeah as mentionned the 2nd step of the aoe combo can be used raw if you need it, it's a standard circle aoe too instead of the weird cone shit, so it's nice enough, although when the situation allows for it overpower is better since it unlocks the combo on mythril tempest. You can also use the...

The questing gets A BIT better, but it's still questing. The story gets better so it makes the quest less annoying, but ultimately most quests are still "Go talk to that guy, kill a couple of trash mobs, talk to that other dude, eh here's a solo instance where you'll likely fight 3waves of trash...

Check that the fights actually have files for them. Not everything does, a lot doesn't actually, it's mostly raids and EX trials that do(and normal raids often don't have full support either). There's a debug mode to check things out if you read the readme, like you go fight the dummy in...

When I checked their innocence progress, they didn't seem to be lying, or they purposefully explained some of the mechanics horribly wrong. Individually maybe some of them looked up strats, but overall EX fights are a not really a good example to figure out if they're lying, cause EX fights are...

A bunch of them didn't boost, in fact Datmodz who I was talking about actually leveled through the story, and that's a good example that leveling properly actually doesn't really teach you shit. Unless you're willing to do research, doing dungeons and easy mode trials won't teach you shit but...

Yeah a proper log would require a lot of work. With that work they might as well make a full damage log that basically parse all info sent by the server and render it into a text form thing, which would be very helpful for confirming mechanics and such by seeing dmg done, but unlikely to happen...

I don't think the party make up is an issue at all, a lot of statics just use whatever and this one is perfectly fine, 2 ranged DPS would be a bit harder since they do noticeably less dmg but 2 casters is basically just as good as 2 melees until pretty high skill level since melees uptime is a...

Damn that looks like a cool mount, and obviously I'm sure it plays that actual song too, first mount I'm considering buying. Also checking Datmodz stream quickly they're doing EX Twintania, definitely doesn't look blind though.

It's just levels, get more levels and they'll get a few more stats and eventually you have enough. If you add up all their stats you'll see your 41 has a few more points than 39 and 38 a couple less than these. Your squadron rank is maxed(280/280 on the top right) so nothing left there for now...

Retainers have additional inventory yeah, it's kinda the first option iirc? They have a bunch of bags each, they're basically your bank. You can also list some of the items(10 per retainer) at high price to get a few more "slots" but that's a fair few slots with the inventory, chocobo slots...

Yeah cactbot doesn't do balls, it's not that hard since you just follow a priority system or just follow your healer if you have no idea, it was more like while you know balls is coming a while before, you basically can't call anything besides "get ready for balls" cause they spawn in random...

Oh yes absolutely, I think at this point it doesn't look like they're going in blind though if they're already looking into cactbot and ACT triggers, but maybe they just want to set them blank to do their own triggers, which I guess is ok. I just don't know how much the "casuals" in the party...

I don't think they'll ban over that, that'd go against what they usually do. Although Cactbot and such are beyond the scope of what the devs explicitely said they don't care about, as long as they're not actively harassing other people with them or obviously cheating, I don't think they'll do...

There's also the fact that we don't really know how this league was received in China, if they even got the same league and the same balance changes at all. I mean could probably figure it out with google translate but for all we know this isn't a "shit league" in China currently and so Tencent...

Well obviously, but it still sucks, and might affect some of the modding stuff. And it's unlikely this won't be piratable anyway, unlike D3 which was entirely reliant on the servers to do anything.

Makes finding off meta skills as 21/23 more or less impossible as a result too cause few people are gonna roll some shit skill in temple double corruption over just using the meta gems and making several more exalts in the process and shit. I guess you can buy the double corruptions to roll for...

Oh don't get me wrong obviously it's very easy to figure out what it does and how and it is somewhat important for raiding, just you technically don't have to figure it out and can still clear all content. It's kinda like substats, you technically don't have to know how they work, you can just...
