    I had a lot of fun doing the 2 skysteel tools I did. I really wish the BTN/MIN weapons came with a secondary tool also. It feels kinda weird to have done all that work for a sweet axe, and then have this lame scythe in my offhand.

    Isn't it 3? Or am I confusing Savage with Normal?

    I did most of my Bozja stuff on WHM, and just played safety mage and overhealed like a mad man. I think DR is the only thing I did on BLM because my WHM wasnt 80 when I was doing my relic clears, and I can't play anything else at a Savage level.

    Nah, I went into my first DRN, and the other Bozja dungeons, completely blind and was able to flub my way through.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Theres 6 or so huntresses down by that rock and in the close vicinity that are all placeholders for Morwenna. Also keep in mind you can sell unused Type 5 augs from CoV in Western Wastes for about 300 currency, and use that to buy any of the others, so if Morwenna is camped you can hit up...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    On Mangler at least GEBs and Djarn Rings didnt really hold their price. It might have something to do with Selo affecting prices, but they haven't been worth a krono in over a month. Krono are currently going for about 4.2k, and Djarn Ring/GEBs are only going for 1800-2kish and we're still a...

    I believe you can get the armor without the weapon, so you may not need to do Pagos light grind at all.

    Made it through Eureka, finished my weapon, got all my Elemental +1 gear. Working on BA now, hoping to clear Ozma this weekend. It's not very challenging for anyone who is a competent savage raider, but it's a lot like EQ that the difficulty is in herding 55 cats and everyone else doing their...

    The nice thing about the bonus EXP buff is it applies to secondary classes, and crafters/gathers.

    Made it through Pagos in less then a week. Started Pyros this weekend. After playing EQ for years, Pagos wasnt as bad as people made it sound. Farming all these logos and mnemes seem like they're gonna be a bigger pain in the ass then Pagos light farming. Also finally got an orange on my 2nd...

    I know you were asking questions about BLM a while ago, is that what you're raiding on? This tier was a lot of fun, except 11. I despise 11.

    I tried to figure out sheathed and unsheathed hotbars one day and gave up in a fit of rage, too big brain for me. Instead I just made a macro on the side of my screen that hides/shows 3 hotbars that have all my class change stuff on them.

    Ugh, the expansion can't come soon enough. Log on, do beast tribe dailies to level crafting, join a Savage trap party or 2, puttz around outside of FC house while wondering what to do. Game is so boring right now.

    I think I'm 32 or so, but I'm afraid of Pagos because I've heard such horrible things about it. Maybe someday I'll man up and go figure it out.

    Legacy camera took me a day or two to get used to, and I'm still not entirely sure how to do a couple minor things, but overall it's way better for moving while doing mechanics. The one thing that I couldn't figure out how to do is turn without taking a step, so you could pull off a "look away...

    That party was only 1 AST. Good RNG and using Time Dilatation and Celestial Opposition to extend cards doesnt make it super hard to get 50% balance uptime, from my understanding, but I don't actually play AST.

    I got padded to hell and back, but I finally got my orange parse. 50% balance uptime, and the group happened to be double SMN and they staggered contagion properly, so near 50% contagion uptime.

    BLM stat priority is SpS to taste > Crit > Direct Hit. Some people prefer more SpS because it gives you more wiggle room to mess up, or move, but overall substats on BLM don't really make a huge difference like they can for other classes. The theoretical DPS difference between a max crit setup...

    You can also get tick screwed on some mechanics. During o12s, the final fight of this tier, theres some 2 second long magic vulnerability debuffs you get on you, and we've had people die because they hadnt fallen off them yet, but the rest of the group was fine. Or things like AOE heals having...

    New 24 man was a lot of fun. We did a drunk/blind Party Finder group, and managed to clear it with 20 mins or so left. Couple wipes per boss as we figured things out, but fun place. Wasn't a huge fan of the new dungeon, but I got stuck healing it because of who went in with us and I'm a god...

    For a very generic outline Everything to 15 Culinarian to 37 Carpenter 50 Weaver 50 Everything to 50 is the level order I've been told to optimize cross class skills. Beyond that, I haven't touched crafting at all yet, and only just started leveling my first gatherer.

    Started M/F prog on December 20th. Cleared it on the 23rd. Killed Final Omega tonight. Goal of clearing the tier before 4.5 complete. Plus I won the coffer, so BLM weapon is mine!

    I love my BLM, but they get a real bad rap and pugs disable them a lot. That said I've cleared the entire tier, minus Final Omega which we are almost done with, on BLM and seeing those big numbers is awesome. Nothing like seeing 55k+ crits.

    If you ever want to do the anima weapon quest, think an epic weapon from EQ style quest, for glamour reasons you need to spend thousands of poetics on various things. On an unrelated note, we're about halfway done with Final Omega. We have 1 major mechanic to learn, Achieve All, and then...

    I don't think thats it overtuned, it's that its right before a lot of classes start getting some of their level 50 tools. Healers have like no oGCDs for instance. The skill pruning hit that dungeon particularly hard.

    Aurum Vale is the worst dungeon in the game. If I could remove a dungeon from my list, it would be that one.

    I can't wait. I've spoiled the fight for myself so I can lead the group in our quest to beat it before 4.5, we got a late start on the tier due to odd circumstances as people moved over from EQ and we figured out who was fit for savage raiding and what not. For the expansion we plan on having...

    It looks like a real fun fight. We had 20 minutes left on our instance, and the MCH that was with us had broken gear, but we did some pulls just to see things. . .and those first couple mechanics come real fast. Spicy stuff. Should be fun to try and clear.

    M/F dead after 3 days of prog without our full static, stupid holidays. Holy shit what a lot of work. Now 2 weeks to kill Final.

    Cleared o11s last Sunday, so we set a goal to try and clear o12s before 4.5. Saw 9%/4% M/F enrage last night, after starting prog on Thursday.

    So I threw 5 bucks on Mudfish and did 40ish pulls of o11s prog tonight. I notice a difference in my double weaves, and in my potion use especially. I don't slidecast a ton because I don't know AoE timings super well, and since we're still progging I play safe, but that seems to be more...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's only 1 doubleweave in the opener so it wont save me a ton of time, but I'm also hoping it'll help with weaving off fire 3 and blizzard 3 as well as slidecasting. Slidecasting with a longer than GCD spell is tricky D: Like I said, I'm not expecting this to be a miracle fix or anything...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I'm pretty deep into BLM, and knowing what I want my exact SpS to be. Obviously theres plenty to clean up outside of clipping, but I think I'll try one and see if it helps that aspect. I've heard it helps a ton with slidecasting as well. Seems like mudfish is the way to go, if I can just...

    Have any of you guys used any sort of VPN, like WTFast or Mudfish? I'm trying to break the 90%+ mark on FFLogs for o9s, and while looking over some of my parses on xivanalysis I noticed I consistently clip, especially on double weaves. I know a VPN isn't magically going to make me meet my goal...

    Been farming Suzako for my BLM weapon, can't wait to step into Savage on Friday with my half static. New fights have been a lot of fun so far, I'm really glad normal isn't just a faceroll like it was last tier. Plus BLM buffs are always good.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah for sure, I'm still working on slidecasting, and memorizing a few optimization things the BLMs in balance discord have talked about. I'm still really happy with it, considering my first savage raid was in the end of June.
