Tempted to re-sub and go alliance just for this! New expansion looks gud. I'm excited.

Interesting. Redoing the codebase and splitting it off from their regular servers is great because it allows them to do anything. Will be curious if they aim to more or less recreate 1.12 with a few bugfixes or do more of an overhaul and release as a "1.6 patch." Of course this is going to...

Precisely. Allegro is a way to make 3 healing BSB's incredibly powerful. Without access to one of those 3 BSB's, it's tough. If Onion could Bard6 that would be great.

Not having a bard to use Allegro with, shit's too niche.

I miss posting on the beta forums only to have Aristo blatantly ignore all of our feedback, ship broken spells, and then fix it months after the fact. Or @Elidroth shitting on us. I recall Elidroth being the only one to reply with any regularity even if 99% of his answers were "No."

It's like 854 SB exp, unless you get the dogs then it goes up above 1k.

This game will never be retail ready.

The III and VI dungeons are better exp under synergy anyway, if you have characters in those realms needing levels. I've spent a fair amount of time in the doge dungeons. Topping out my Magicite, 99'ing my recent pulls, and shoring up a few important RM's (e.g., Vivi). It's a grind and I'll be...

For a mage team, yeah! Mako Might with that buff and then off a couple wraths before entrusting another character for a full soul break bar.

Can't overlook the Onion Knight banner. TG Cid returns to broken OPness. He isn't the first to get the new toys, but he doesn't mess around when his stuff finally gets implemented.

Wrath is 180, Lifesiphon is 150. Under Ace Striker that's 270/225. Shelke is the best Entruster with her insane Legend Dive (arriving in two-ish weeks) - haste and instant cast 3. Aside from her, they're all pretty much the same. Faris is speedy and has good defensive equipment options.

Needing ~115k damage in 2 turns is insane. My TG Cid does ~67k (entrusted with 30% RM) after shout, which still means I need 50k damage from 2 characters in 2 turns (assuming Ramza and my Entruster aren't doing any damage). I've been farming everything else and haven't really put my head to it.

Playing EverQuest solo, without boxing, is about as entertaining as playing Monopoly alone. Group games are meant to to played with a group. It's by design, lack of imagination, and entrenched ideals. Part of why EQ cannot attract new players and grow its base.

Yeah, 4* motes will be farmable with the announced update.

Yeah. I ended the fight at 100% on my entire team. I only solo this stuff, I don't know how you guys deal with public MP groups.

Only after inserting 10 TucoCoins.

This is giving new players such a leg up it's insane. You're getting enough mythril to chase every god relic for the next 3 months. Us veterans had a wider array (but probably worse) relics to begin with - those old accessories and the tons of free orbs/eggs/abilities were what gave us a leg up...

Yeah Fenrir is a bitch like that with slow - you accessorize for the slow or for the resist element. On a positive note all the damage is physical.

He got them in the bard event we missed. DeNA hasn't noticed yet, but gave us 1 bard mote anyway. Same reason Zack doesn't have his Legend Dive.

I concur on CT. We might be overvaluing Fujin--I don't use Vaan much anymore and it's just a mage Vaan clone--but the relic holds up with powerful ninja magic. Two good uses don't make it great, but everything else is situational and most will be power creeped out. Congrats on your sub-30! What...

Fujin is the mage version of Vaan - a good addition to a mage team as a debuffer+speedy DPS in one. Wrath + Stitch in Time access is hot. Fujin's SSB is en-wind so these relics pair together incredibly well.

Ramza's USB is clutch - definitely something we didn't appreciate at the time. The FFTA event is only slightly +better stuff than I already have - Ramza's BSB2, USB, and LMR are fantastic, but the last thing I need is to form a 50-relic paladin team. The FFT event after that has Ramza's BSB2...

Sadly I didn't see the post for MP, would've contributed. I chose my 2 relics - Y'shtola and Ayame. Y'shtola becomes eligible for the only true healer I'll need for the next 6+ months, especially with having her old wall relic. Not game-changing, but for 50 Mythril it's peace of mind that I...

Whoever thought fire-absorbing trash in a Torment where the boss is weak to fire is just mean. I wasted Terra's skills since Ifrit was hot garbage. The Jump Start is farmable and easy enough, but FFV is easier and we still have a week on that. Two days left, still need to pick my gem and CT...

I remember using Vaan BSB as DPS on CPU, he doesn't even have support 5. Tonberry was dumb but again I vaguely recall brute forcing that one too with some stop dances.

I could field two raids worth of Dark and Holy teams and still have good characters on the bench. I'm expecting to easily farm ~40 seconds as I farm up Magicites for them. With +15% dark and holy sub-30 will be jokes.

Hivemind says FF15 wasn't good but FF12 is great. FF9 remaster just came out and is gorgeous.

What a tease. Of course I gambled - three 5* and a 6*. Aerith's USB is bottom-tier for me. And then I scored XI relics: Curilla BSB (AoE holy + team MAG/DEF), Prishe BSB fist (non-elemental monk stuff), Lion SSB (Wallbreak). Basically I pulled bottom-tier relics for XI synergy. Not the worst...

I never did any of the Vit0 stuff, it felt exploity. #BoyScout

Back when Lunatic High was our idea of a great Boostga and arguably the best RW in the game.

Omega has 3 phases: Phase 1 he does tons of damage and resists everything. Phase 2 he is stoppable and does even more damage. Phase 3 he gives you the 5 turn warning before destruction and becomes weak to all elements. Imperil+Elemental teams work great for the extra burst in the last phase...

Bartz gets absolutely bonkers with the 5* ability buff too, get full use out of that Celes 40% Spellblade LM.

I'm about a day's worth of roulette behind, which isn't awful. Did most of the VI event and some Magicites, plus I cleared the rest of the Fest (why did I waste stamina on Omega Tower normal AND hard so early?), but skipped the III Torment so will have to get that next time.

Zidane USB is amazing. Dive-worthy.

Yeah Luclin was supposed to be a lot more like Velious - huge and expansive with multiple factions warring against each other in multiple tiers. They needed a launch date to show off those fugly models and it all ended half-baked. Future expansions might have been launched too soon, but were...

I pulled: Quistis OSB (wrath mage with double +poison gear as I already have her BSB to en-element, even if a rare element is $) Papalymo BSB (+Fire rod and solid mage en-fire BSB) Yang BSB (Earth is one of my weaker elements) Eyeing a lot of the +element gear (Vincent BSB is a +fire accessory...

Apex Omga is silly. My non-LD Relm gets about 2/3 of the needed duration out of stop with USB weapon and armor equipped. Might try Terra USB RW strategy and abuse the hell out of Terra Wraith->OSB for predictable damage.

There are tons of gold prizes - starting with 20 of each 5* mote. The "gold" rate is 15% of all prizes - stark change from last go round.

PSA - expect to refresh mythril to complete the roulette wheel. May want to get those refreshes in during one of the current phases before they switch over.

I tried and of course I got more Paladin gear. Gambled away 150 mythril and the most I came away with was a slow resist armor for Fenrir. The future X banner has loads of water stuff, so content to miss out on Banner4 possibilites.
