    This just had a major update today. I haven't had much time to dig into it, but they changed a lot of stuff and made the game world substantially bigger. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/625960/view/3119301148805317019

    And to start things off tonight, they drop a bomb. Endwalker delayed by 2 weeks. Early Access is December 3rd, release December 7th.

    I would say 'until after you chose your faction' and the main story quest sends you to see the Hermit. Your starting location will also set a bunch of quests specific to the newbie experience for that region (they still have some work to do here, though), but once you hit somewhere between 8-15...

    Level 100 Death/Flare basically counts how many people are in the effect. If the total level is a multiple of 100 (ie - an even number of people are in the effect) then BOOM. Otherwise nada. The tethers you see are indicating it will go off but people constantly move in/out of the effect so...

    Yeah Bismarck was the second "half" of Sea of Clouds. Most of the zone was unused in Heavensward as far as MSQ was concerned. The northeast specifically.

    Ifrit Ex's vuln stacks (from destroying nails) were always just a few seconds in duration. There's no shenanigans here. Most times you're right, they last longer than that, as a "you got hit by something you shouldn't have" mechanic.

    Yep. It spreads an existing Galvanize (at whatever strength it's at at the time of Deployment) to those near the target.

    Basically. The breakdown is roughly this according to a level 62 WAR. 50/60/70 Dungeons - 100 poetics Main Scenario - 300 poetics* Alliance Raid - 100 poetics Normal Raid - 80 poetics Once you hit max level the tomestone rewards for max level kick in in addition to the above so there's...

    May Update Notes Surprisingly ahead of schedule. Was expecting next Tuesday. Takeaways - Discoverable fast travel points -- no longer limited to teleporting to settlements! - Coin was rebalanced; no longer always drops from NPCs, capped at 500k (player) and 5mil (company) - Houses are now...

    Not sure what they're up to since Greataxe was put into the game in December's update. (Source) Wonder if they're going to reveal that weapons are getting 'ultimate' skills or moving towards a 4th ability for each weapon.

    April Update Notes Some of the takeaways: - New weapon: Ice Gauntlet (Intelligence based) - Two new (high end) expeditions/dungeons - Gunpowder doesn't require fire motes anymore! (It's easier to make; requires saltpeter) - Stat thresholds = passive bonuses like having a chance to deplete a...

    After finishing MSQ I'd say it's a pretty clear bet that Nier raid was pretty good I thought, plus it has the music I've been wanting since the series was announced back in 2018/-19

    Necrolord gets an upgrade which unlocks a second one as well. It's not even closer to the flight node so it also makes no sense to me.

    There's also the question of what the other sundered Ascians are going to do with their leadership decapitated. Since Zodiark's story is going to wrap up, either we see the rest of them come out of the woodwork during 6.0, or they'll be held in reserve for future plot points.

    I don't think it's really possible for Zodiark to combat the Final Days, simply because we don't have the means to empower him to the level required to obliterate the phenomenon on a planetary scale. The Ascians gave up half their race twice over to first summon then empower Zodiark to stop and...

    Sage! - Starts in Limsa Lominsa at level 70. - Weapon: Nouliths - Barrier healer. Healer Balance - Astrologian will be retooled to a "pure healer" (no barriers). - Healers will be clearly distinct as "pure healer" and "barrier healer". Two of each. - Matchmaking will also take this into...

    Best spell ever. Level 5 Death is what we had to use in Temple of the Fist until the ghosts, but boy was it a shocker when Ram's Voice finally failed to work on anything. lol Either way, the BLU update was everything I hoped for: several hours of murdering mobs and bosses to get cool spells...

    It sounds like you're volunteering to be the target of my Super Siphon. Only gives you 30% mitigation while healing you, as of Preview anyway.

    Pre-orders get access to Closed Beta when that launches. If you're wanting Alpha access, which is what's currently going on, that's where the "No, it's random signups" comes in.

    And they lowered the number of weapon slots from 3 to 2. That's a game changer; you have to commit now! I was a little surprised they moved Warding food from Cooking to what I assume will be Arcana (potion making), though. Will be very interested in seeing how they'll make crafting relevant...

    Just lucky I guess. I've gotten over 10 myself, so I'm done with Enchanting leveling. If you're not getting them, it makes me wonder if you need to go higher in the campaign for your table, but that's strictly a guess. Could just be RNG bending you over. RE: Anima I've gotten daily quests...
