Things go fine until 25% then everyone shits the bed.

Ozma isn't even that hard honestly.Then again I am a tank so all I ever do is just stand at the side in front of him and occasionally if i get marked go a bit out of the way.

really fun fight in general though, the boss after that is easier but has the ass to make up for it.

...

I agree, after you learn what the shapes do it's not all that bad. Last group I had was impatient as fuck and nothing but DRG shit dropped.


I'm so sorry.

why is fagbot so awful at copying the OP edition

I just copy and pasted it. no idea where the spaces came from.

twitch.tv/squareenix

during E3 well get a sneak peek at palace of the dead and yoshi talking about 3.3, maybe even some hints at future content.

why are some people like that? do they really think people will leave when they could stay and possibly get a minion or a shitty crafting item that is worth millions for some reason?

Because they figure that you'll get tired of waiting and leave without rolling.

I just wish they'd allow you to vote kick someone who hasn't rolled a minute after the raid ends.

That's happened to me for the past four runs. Some dipshit always seems to vote abandon before we even attempt the second boss in Mhach as well. People are retarded.

People already whining about Weeping and hardmode Nidhogg being too hard. Is the average casual really this fucking bad? They both require you to pay more attention then not at all yet they can't even handle that. I really hope they don't nerf Weeping, its my favorite raid so far and im kind of tired of every single 24 man being nothing but faceroll easy content

i'd appreciate all the normal mode content to be decently harder, and the savage content to be slightly easier. anything that isn't an ex primal or savage raid is a total faceroll

Void Ark by far the most boring raid ever, I almost fall asleep tanking it. Its even more boring playing as healer or OT there

The sad part is, Weeping city isn't really difficult. You just need to pay more attention. People try to call it midcore but it really isn't.

...

feelsgoodman

What are you, an idiot?

Hey I've been out of this for a few months now, since whatever update introduced sephiroth. Is this new patch worth coming back in to? Are there new things to ease lore grind? Any new cute outfits for healsluts? is the new manderville amazing as usual

...

Shit, there is no way to force rare items to pop in nodes more often, is there?

So anybody beat Nidhogg ex yet?
Shits hard

Feels pretty good

The best feel.

Is everyone back?

Should I come back?

...

yeah one guy in my linkshell cleared it, I heard from another in my FC that its easier than sephirot.

I really like the armor and just want to play dress up. Also, it has a great atmosphere.

there is also aquapolis which is pretty fun, if you are unsure though I would recommend waiting for 3.35 when palace of the dead comes out.

...

Aquapolis is probably done with established groups though. I just have a really busy schedule and can't stay geared up like people would expect. This game's art just keeps drawing me in, and it's awful.

nah man aquapolis is totally doable with just you and a buddy. I went in there with a random in my FC and a linkshell m8 and we got to 5th floor until we choose the wrong door.

end it

end it now

I've cleared and been farming. It's not terribly difficult, the worst bit is the bombs at the end, but there's a surefire way to beat them both.

you talking about the new relic step or something? I still haven´'t done the unidentifiable shit part.

yes

Is it seriously that bad?

I'm still working through the unidentifiable section.

It's 300 esoterics for half of a stat upgrade, and the other half can come from a large variety of tradeins. Each stat upgrade is anywhere from +3 to +5 of a secondary stat of your choice. The worst part is the esoterics farming, the other bit is super easy, especially if you have a DoH/DoL at 60. Do your roulettes every day, and if you really want it soon, speedrun dungeons with people to farm quickly. It really isn't awful, tons better than alexandrite was.

It's a good thing I'm working on getting Botanist to 60 then.

That doesn't sound all that bad.

...

...

DO
IT
FOR
HIM

it doesn't get any easier does it?

Why the fuck do people undercut so hard? It was at 600k when I left for work and I'm willing to bet it's around the 300k range now.


With the buffs to scrips this is going to be easy as hell.

...

It's ridiculous. You can get +2 gathering attempts on the trash 10/15 blue scrip nodes, so in between the big loot ones you can farm that and get tons of easy scrips. Plus with the blue scrip gear being bought with blue tokens now, you can have tons of perception in no time. It's a joke.

I dunno. I ended up with a 4.4 million Orchestrion roll that has now dropped down to 3 million simply because people keep undercutting.

Fuck undercutters, just mark it at exactly the same amount as the lowest person, and you'll probably both sell at that price.

I think I might do some of that scrip trash, because yet another Mhach ended in failure and double DRG loot dropped again from the first boss.


It's still 3 million, but it's nuts how people are willing to drive the price down to near worthlessness.

Anybody know a good and cheap artist I can commission to draw a good armor?

Do you hate capitalism user? Then get the fuck out you commie bastard

...

If only I wasn't on Levi

yeah, that's bait

I always just stick to private servers. the community is always better if it manages to get in the comfy middle ground of having enough players but not too many that gold sellers start showing up.

not sure if worth it or not.

Beats what you used to get. I still dread having to actively grind for this shit though, I'm getting tired of not having the relic.

20k for this stage seems bad but at around 500 per day just doing the roullette and the raids each week with the odd chemical run it can be done pretty quick compared to the 680 each 80 things needed for stage 3.

i just hope they dont patch the vilekin since thats almost an exploit in terms of easyness. my daggers are at 45 crit already and ive farmed nothing.

Try having your chracter run away from the camera than back to the camera in a short burst to watch the jello on a plate animation occur.

Those absolute madmen.

New OC

Ala mighans are clearly donkey fucking muds already.

story mode nidhogg was bretty gud

Taken a peek at the OF since the patch? Holy fuck, I've seen some shit.

WEEPING CITY TEARS

NIDHOGG PISSBABY MODE IS TOO HARD BECAUSE IT TOOK MORE THAN ONE PULL

and people showing their socialist upbringing in EVERYONE DESERVES EVERYTHING NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY TRY.

someone claiming to be an English teacher in japan that is also dyslexic thinks 3m is a lot of money for housing. A truly unobtainable sum.


These people are the reason that the USA is failing.

Just beat Ozma, took 4 attempts but what a quality fight. Just a joy to beat. Fucking top tier shit.

beat hairjob girl, not as good or fun as Ozma, got a coffin lid though, naturally people waited till the last second to roll.

Its the most gorgeous fight in the game.

definitely the most fun boss in HW for me

time to go on hiatus again i guess

fucking what is it with dragoons being fucking retards?

Why is this game so great?

Superior Au Ra Thighs.

I meant for ARF by itself. I fucking hated the place because there was next to no eso in it and no gear to turn in for seals.


If only more clothes didn't prevent that.


Dunno, but I'm glad I ditched WoW for it.

Dragoons are literally the "MUH DPS" class and I con't know what causes it. I had someone on my static who acted like that saying shit like "If I do more damage it means the fight will go quicker so I skip mechanics" and it's like nigga if we fail mechanics we die and the fight becomes longer

Fucking hotwheels

Ninja and Monk master alliance is the true patrician melee jobs.

isnt monk the highest mDPS class though?

Mah nigga


Yes but it didn't stop him from messing up mechanics in order to be try and be top dps

The benefits of income.


I always hated DPS spergs like that. It's the one thing keeping me from trying Dragoon. We had to stop on three different duties yesterday because a fucking Dragoon obsessed so much over DPS that they wound up dead.

They tend to ragequit after you point out the Ninja has a higher DPS because he's not dead.

On the plus side, dragoon benefits from what I call "white black guy" syndrome.

A black guy who acts like a normal person who takes part in society properly isn't really any different than anyone else. But because overwhelmingly blacks act like fucking enraged apes, the regular guy will end up looking far better than he would have otherwise. Because your expectations are so low.

No one ever told me "Wow great tanking. You really handled the boss and the adds brilliantly. No one was hit once by anything, even when we were out of position!"

No one ever said "Wow what dodging and perfect DPS rotation."

But play dragoon, do a normal job. People go "Wow that was one good dragoon." and give me commendations.

i remember when blizzard banned a bunch fo botters from WoW last year that turned out to be dps that needed a bot to fucking finish lfr.

I do all roles and enjoy dps because it lets me have more freedom of movement, thats it. These retards seem to think its just for ease of being carried.

So would monk/nin be the black weebs?

You might be on to something.

...

fucking 1:35 get on my level niggers.

Vienna hip-slider when?

Viera* FUCK

how are people so bad that they play weeks on end grinding tomestones and still don't play their class well enough to perform better than someone in esoteric and normal midas gear

I have a few questions about this game,

Why is it $20? Do I pay $20 for one time, then $13 a month after that? Also does the $20 include heavensword?

Also, I heard this is cross platform. Does that mean If I buy it on PC, I can use the same account to play it on my ps4?

20 probably doesn't include heavensward, and no, you have to purchase a ps4 license separately.

your best bet is to either wait for a sale on heavensward (hasn't happened yet afaik) or buy the bundle for 50

But after I pay for the $50, do I have to pay a subscription fee of $13 a month, or do I pay $50 every month?

oh lord no, you pay 13 a month after the first one which is free

okay, thanks

Felt like I was in bizarro world. That dragoon earned himself that player commendation.

well maybe he is just high level and want to get through everything.
well i just dont know man, if he is new why would he rush it? if he ain't new how did he not know that? game even tells you in big letters "boss is healing himself in the green goo!"

WoWfugee's.

You see them now and again, bunny hopping and spamming "GOGOGOGOGOGGO" like every game plays like WoWs pre level cap heirloom zergs where roles dont exist and wipes dont happen.

More fresh OC

His tumblr: givethysuccor.tumblr.com/

can we make a blacklist of shitters with picture evidence? would be great for giggles and knowing who to avoid.

fucking faggot mch with the gear from a8 needing on everything.

why can't there be a rule that you can't roll on raid drops if you have the corresponding gear equipped or in your armoury chest for your current job

...

tanks that cant handle big dick dps should be gassed

You can buy more auction house space. If you wanna be a king Jew in game you'll need to be a good goy in real life by buying more retainers for more space. Also having more retainers mean more free loot which you can sell.
Game is paid, with paid expansions, monthly fees and still has p2w. MMOs are truly dead.

I know this is just bait, but ingame money isn't nearly as useful as in other games. You can get fancy crafting gear, but the raiding gear you can buy with gil is pretty meh and outclassed quickly.

Paying for any advantage is p2w. With paid retainers you have
It's pretty pathetic that these advantages are being sold to people who already pay a monthly fee, expansions, and the base game. But you fags will eat it up and defend it.

...

you don't get any advantage with gil, other than having a pretty house.

also retainer and auction space is a non issue if you manage it properly. your definition of p2w is pretty shit and probably encompasses literally every game on the market

If I pay money and have any in game advantage over someone who doesn't no matter how small it is, it's p2w. Though I doubt you care modern MMO players eat this shit up and defend it like you are right now.

Someone shoot me please

We all did it, take your lumps.

oh totally, so in any game you pay for, that enables you to have a chance at winning said game while someone who does not pay for that game can't play and therefore doesn't.

bam, literally every game is now p2w by that definition

Are you legitimately retarded? Are you seriously comparing buying games to paying for additional advantages in multiplayer game you already payed for? I don't think I've seen a bigger strawman in my life.

At this size we call them a wicker man.

...

your retarded definition is almost as bad as that example. if it doesn't provide a meaningful/significant advantage, it's not pay2win.

this game's extra paid features are a non-issue and you're literally the only person ive ever seen complain about being able to pay for more bank space.

I've been told tanks got a serious DPS nerf and thus, a nerf overall, while warriors became even more stupidly broken. How true is this?

if you're referring to the nerf to strength gear for tanks, I don't know. I wasn't playing when that change happened

I mean, i've been out for some time, so when I was told that every tank class except warrior got the nerf bat, I was a bit worried. But it was weird, then, when I queued up for paladin and found my job to be a lot easier than it was before. Maybe I just had a good group.

Must've been before SE went and ruined this shit. There was no reason to raise the price when its only use is crap for the house.

I mean, must be nice before they ruined this shit.

Best way to get UIs? Doing dailies and beast tribes, cant do hunts because theres a plague of early pullers right now.

I hope i can get all my UIs before SE nerfs this part of the relic.

esos for 2 of them in idyllshire, the other 2 from the ARR tomes in mor dhona, do the top tier 3 dailies for the 4 base arr tribes and every 5 days you get one from each. Might not seem like much but in those 5 days thats 60 pieces of level 4 materia to sell on the market as well.

Also do the crystal tower raid quest once a week for a few weeks to have the next steps mat ready and waiting.

could someone post this cutscene with card headshot?

Needs just 230 CP and then as much into the other 2 stats as you can get.

the new moogle dailies will help gear your stats.

...

which trial? Ifrit HM?

all tank classes got nerfed, warrior got hit the hardest since they were in the best position and had the furthest to fall. In the end though WAR is still the highest DPS. It's just not as high as it could potentially be in 3.1. PLD is better through less damage reduction for being in tank stance. DRK got nerfed in that the current raid doesnt cater to them like Gordias/3.0 dungeons did. They also require waaaay more work to get DPS that is only now nominally higher than a PLD

in my experience, I NEEDED strength gear to hold hate as a PLD. Now I can hold hate well in vit. I will say it does require a bit more attention when I'm trying to meme and pull in sword oath/deliverance/sans grit

Haven't played since 3.0, should I resub? How friendly is nWo? Anything specific I should know about nWo?

are there pirate servers yet

Yes lad, 9 more unidentified bones, we can do it. Even my lazy ass can get a relic done.

Fuck.

Do you actually have build choices in the game? Is the game just "wear best gear, do optimum skill rotation"? Is there actual teamwork and not just player autonomously doing their roles? Did they add more god damn single player quests (this is my biggest annoyance).

A lack of teamwork is why so many people are fucking up the new 24-man raid.

I was doing more dps that some of those guys back on ARR
As a SCH.

How are hunts going for you guys? Cancerous as ever in my server.

can you link the patch notes concerning this?

It's shit. I just lead hunt parties at late night now to weed the early pullers.

healers work with eachother and so do the tanks, less so for dps except for certain mechanics though.

there are more single player quests with every patch.

the amount of coordinated teamwork is dependent on the level of content you're doing. The reason Weeping City of Mhach is blowing up so many people right now is that its the 'casual' no-thought-involved raid but this new one requires the teams to coordinate placement and mechanics or the group wipes repeatedly.

build choices are mostly minor number fiddling here and there. the current stage of relic allows for direct control of substats but its really fucking like… doesnt matter what you do. its not optimal, for example, to max out parry but its not going to kill your damage either.


afaik the details were never posted in the patch notes. the basics of the change was that vitality was changed to boost damage generated and strength was nerfed to not be as beneficial. that being said, more strength is still good, but wearing melee dps right side is now not an option. you should still meld strength in your right side since its still a main stat, thus better than any other option.

oh I know what change you're talking about now. That's pretty shitty.

As a sch, is is possible to solo at best and duo at worst the ARR primals?

Pretty cool guys, just don't draw attention to the fact they're from Holla Forums and everyone's usually happy.

they all have mechanics that prevent them from being soloed. some can't even be duo'd.

garuda ex is definitely possible although triple wicked wheel might be dicey.
titan ex is straight up impossible without 3 people. two people get gaoled and its an instant game over.
ifrit ex could be run with two maybe. suppuration would be a real chore, i haven't attempted it yet so i don't know how it scales.
leviathan ex in theory should be soloable.
ramuh ex i have no idea what would happen with chains
shiva ex would probably kill you with sword.

I would think Ifrit EX would be doable since the only insta-kill mechanic is the nails and if you do it unsynced that would be a breeze. I just heard that a properly equipped scholar can solo LevEX and ShivaEX if they do them unsynced at level 60.

Titan ex has been solo'd multiple times. In HM/NM, if there's only one person left and he gets gaoled it fades to black, but in ex the gaol just explodes after some time. Does a lot of damage but at 60 it's survivable.

3 hints in a row some asshole pulled early.

I hate this shit.

huh really? i stand corrected then. i swear EX did the same at 50


its been forever since I did ifrit ex but afaik doesnt suppuration just keep stacking higher and higher?

As an aside I really enjoy running old content with a minimal group or even solo, it changes shit that was a joke even at 50 to a tense situation, especially if you aren't playing as master race sch.

I fucking hate the Ultros server.

4 more bones. Then I can still feel like I'm behind the curve because I don't have at least 3 relics at 230 and 1 at 240.

fuck

I forgot how fucking WONDERFUL the forums for this game were.

forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/295213-I-hope-the-next-expansion-reverses-Heavensward-s-emphasis-on-rotations

"With so many good games being released; many want a game they put down and easily pick up later. I by no means feel that difficulty should be nerfed, but I don't think the investment time to get back into the game should be so high. Take a game such as Dark Souls. Difficult, (arguably) but the combat is simply light attack, heavy attack, roll, parry, etc. Highly addicting, fun and difficult gameplay that the player can simply pick up without having to research how to play again. With Heavensward, if I take a break, or if I want to switch jobs, I need to spend a good amount of time in front of a dummy just to memorize my rotation. To be honest, the thought of having to get familiar with the rotation again often prevents me from logging in. You can still have a difficult game without forcing the player to memorize attack patterns. "

" Memorization is not hard. It's a growing pain I feel many have to repeat over and over again."

Holy shit I want the casuals to go and stay gone


This is why genocide isn't always a bad thing

you know genocide aint good but attempted genocide is fucking great for weeding out weakness.

I like to think the reason most of europe is so fucking weak is because we haven't had real wars in so long. or maybe im just being too edgy I don't fucking know man.

...

I don't understand how such a grindy game was so fun. Maybe it was because while playing, you were chitchatting with friends.

I like how the game is now too, with the trust system.

Fucking this. Mhach isn't fucking midcore content. It's still casual content with more punishing mechanics.

you know you should go there and tell them that if they really want to protect gays they will vote for whatever party is against mass immigration.

Wish we didn't fuck up and die at 25%. Took like half an hour to do this. Think of all the epic reddit karma we could have gotten for a Weeping city final boss 3 man!

At least I know now there are anons on Ultros, suffering alongside me.

Waiting for that Amazon promotion to start so I can get 60 days and inevitably not renew when it gets boring after five minutes again.

Even though Palace of the Dead is only three hours long, random dungeon crawling may be fun. 3.35 will be out before sixty days are up, right? I vaguely remember .05 patches follow a month after the main patch.

The interview about the game's future relying on old-style content like Diadem and Deep Dungeon to keep people interested sounds pretty interesting. Diadem's utter failure is what drove me to lose all faith in the devs though, and it sounds like he still doesn't understand where it actually went wrong in design. Making it more faceroll and removing the need to communicate defeats the entire purpose of trying to design old-MMO content.

What now? For the maid outfit?

Yeah, and fat chocobo. I'd rather get it now and receive game time than potentially give money to SE's cash shop to fund another piece of shit like XV.

Holy fuck the average person who plays this game is so fucking bad I swear to god we should be paid just to let them breath the same air as us.

YES I MAD, I WANTED TO SLEEP EARLY TONIGHT

CUCKS

MAKE A LIST OF THE TRAITORS!

[23:12]Xerca Soryu: What is wrong with you? /yell Does it make you feel good to belittle someones good deeds? Then use the tragic deaths of people for your own sick hate? Its truly sickening. Lets solve hate with more hate, that always works. ~rolls eyes~

...

this is now a Islam thread

Thordan Extreme was kino but Nidhogg is cancer enabler.

So is your character a new warrior of light or one of the warriors of light from the calamity? If your character is a new warrior, are the warriors of darkness the WoL from Cartenau and the Calamity that have been corrupted?

If your character is legacy (made in 1.X) then your character is a WoL from the calamity. If your character is new (made in 2.X) then they're a new WoL.

As for the warriors of darkness it's speculated that they're the ones who listened to the Ascians since we didn't.

can anyone think of a better gear progression system? weekly tome cap and grinding faceroll "raids" got old after a few weeks in 3.0

Not without either the poopsockers going full Tingole on raids and abusing the system or pretty much telling 90% of every server population to suck it up if you can't find a group of 24 others that won't ruin the run. We are living in a time where western fanbase of MMOs will either have to embrace casuals when creating new content or accept the fact that the game will die after a year or two.

For anyone else who cares, the Amazon promotion works only on physical purchases $19.99 and up sold by Amazon itself.

Well, there goes resubbing to try out Place of the Dead in a few weeks since I don't want to bother with the potential headache of preordering and refunding with Amazon credit.

...

Seeing people's glamours is the thing that always makes me want to resub even though I don't have the time to farm the equipment.

Fuck you too amazon and SE. Why can't we just buy a fucking soda and it come with a promo code like in Japan?

Nintendo eShop cards are physical and work with the promo.

Next thing you will tell me to buy an amiibo.

Oh man didn't they have a vigil for Yugiri's VA too? Shiiet my fellow Ultros anons

The worst part was that they didn't. Why is my server full of leftycucks?

...

THE PROMOTION WORKS WITH PRE-ORDERS so you guys know.

what the hell promotion are you talking about?

Spend $19.99 or more in the Amazon Video Games Category to receive six exclusive in-game items for "Final Fantasy XIV." You will receive your code by email within 2 business days. Here's how (restrictions apply)

It includes a white fat chocobo, a meido outfit, a butler outfit, titan and ifrit mask, and some wing prisms

oh neat, guess ill buy a copy for a friend and keep the loot for myself

...

Siren had a service for Yugiri. All you had to do was show up in purple.

Also, I cant find anything on the promotion hitting the US. How to acquire maid outfit?

I just ordered it. Hopefully get my maid outfit soon

Make sure amazon.com is the seller and not one of the third-party vendors or else you dont get credit.

You can preorder ANY video game, wait 5 minutes for code email and then cancel the preorder.

This will fuck up my game or amazon account, won't it?

i started with a qualifying pre-order since there was nothing i really wanted and didnt get the code after about 6 hours. i thought maybe it didnt apply to preorders so i cancelled and just bought a physical nintendo e-shop card for 20 dollars and got the code immediately.

It works. It's how I got it.

I made a throw away amazon account on a throw away email however.

Awww yeah, gots me a fat chocobo

...

god dammit all.

guys i died ill be back soon - tiney

come back to us soon bby

soon

I always figured your character was one of the original Warriors of Light regardless, just afflicted with the same post-Calamity amnesia that made everyone else forget them. Granted I haven't played through all of the MSQ yet so maybe I just don't know the lore yet. Do cutscenes or anything actually change for a legacy character?

I think some dialogue does yeah

I think the reason it was so fun was because there was always a sense of fucking danger. Take grinding in any other MMO:


FFXI grinding was more like:


I think that's one of the things I miss about older MMOs, everything looks so pretty and neat now but there's zero sense of danger in anything.

Let's do the Aery tonight and call it there, it can't be that bad.
How do I get people like this? I thought being unable to clear Seph Ex when maxed out was bad but holy shit. Kill me.

Just made my first million on the market
Why does the Jew-feel feel so good?

i don't really know how to act with these people anymore. is playing the game like that fun for them? sitting there and hitting cure/physick once an hour? not reading or paying attention to anything? like sometimes i've got a movie or something running in the other window but for christ's sake

At this point, I just sit back and let people be retards in instances. It's not helping sure, but what can one person do?

is this bizarro world?
ive never waited on dps before

i give up. fuckin christ

a lot of older content is wont for dps nowadays. when i was trying to farm relic bits in 3.2, gordias ALWAYS wanted dps

I have no clue, but that combined with every shitty attempt at finishing the one extreme at full is really starting to piss me off.

Did you know that you can't get anymore party members when there's 10 minutes left on the clock?

They are ascians in clone bodies from the chemical facility.

Didnt you read the encounter text? They were trying to lure regulus into the biological weapons testing to mass produce him and got you instead. The boss tests your anti naga, anti machina and anti beast abilities and states your are "outstanding, approved for mass reproduction".

The warrior of darkness is your clone.

...

the ending

i see it

its in my sight

but its far from my sight

we tight yo

...

why do people even do this

it doesn't make a god damn difference in the world

For upboats on reddit and to have people heap praise on them. Disgusting is what it is.

...

They feel like they're making a difference. that's all they care about.
They're the same people who will throw gays under the bus if you bring up Islam, fuck them.
sage for off topic

It won't ever happen.

Something interesting happens if you preview Yoshi's glamed shit.
He hasn't even melded his gear, what a fucking casual.

why is aimi such a qt

HOUSE RESELLERS BLOWN THE FUCK OUT!

THATS SO FUCKING FAR

...

THANK GOD

What are the odds of samurai being announced as a class?

Can someone summarize what's going on for those who cant watch stream?

More on apartments.

They're working on a raid roulette.

Weeping City won't be nerfed and he may or may not be open to the concept of a savage mode to it.

Some mounts like the broom will have their actions given back since after you get the mount, you can't use them anymore.

Shitty Balmung questions that are RP related.

Armory Chest and Inventory being expanded in 4.0.

You aren't missing much.

...

Next expansion got announced then?

Wtf are you guys even doing?

The usual.

...

Why do that when I could get him to meld my weapon instead?

o-okay, no potato tiamu for me.

wasnt it possible to get 4 or 5 sand?

The chances to get a bonus increase after 120.

fug

you know I was wondering what that place was all about but I still don't think its really that, I mean if that is the case shouldn't he look like me as well? and possibly have an army of clones?

That exact guy has always been the placeholder model for the millions of player avatars, go back and look at every trailer, thats meant to be you they just use generic Hume instead. The dragoon in the heavensward trailer? thats meant to be you, that slow walk is the events before the final stepps of faith.

I'm thinking about transferring over to Exodus to join nWo, but want to know how active the server is. More importantly, how quickly do queues pop on Primal? I'm over on Aether and shit almost pops instantly when I tank.

Are Dark Knights related to Mhach lore wise or did they just recycle the icon?

white fat chocobo looks kinda like a chicken lol.

also I am on an EU server how the fuck did he even get one.

Enjoy your market cartel running the MB!

Tank queues are fast as fuck on most things

FUCK.

Don't read this shit if you haven't cleared 3.3

Is Nidhogg a primal by the point the MC fights them at the Aery? Not only did Hraesvelgar denounce Nidhogg as kin upon meeting them at Final Steps, calling them nothing but a shade, but primals are essentially born of meme magic, like King Mog. All the buzz about Niddy's rage could have potentially helped drive him to being completely consumed, along with his own desire for vengeance, and the Horde basically worshipped him.

Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure that you kill him in The Aery (or at least Estinien does) and meme magic plus Estinien's similar hatred/whatever and the power if his eyes transforms him into a primal like Shiva/Ysale but takes him over instead.

That actually makes more sense. Estinien's entire existence revolved around killing Nidhogg, making him the perfect catalyst, much like crystals to invoke primals. Esti even said so himself Nidhogg and he weren't so different. That makes me wonder if a catalyst is even necessary for primal invocation. Ysale became Shiva out of delusion/sheer force of will. Did the moogles collect crystals for Mog? I keep referencing him because he was an entirely fictional character willed to existence, I apologize.

Mog isn't fictional though. The mists moogles mention that there was once a chieftan named Mog around the time when the shroud group left. The story surrounding him his bullshit but at some point there was once a moogle ruler by that name that served as the basis for the legend.

Wouldn't say it's worth it unless you are 100% damaged NEET and with 0 friends, FC buddies or anything on your current server.

If you're that pathetically friendless than you'll fit right in with us.

Well, you just described me verbatim, so I guess I'm gonna transfer over.

someone explain this horseshit. I want to be a badass lightning-calling wizard god of death and destruction. What the FUCK does learning how to shoot a fucking arrow have to do with magic? Am I going to strap a fireball onto an arrow shaft? perhaps carve arrowheads from a primal's left asscheek? Maybe I'll be like pic related and just use magic to fire a bow, but even then that's fucking stupid. I'm confused.

You get access to a +20% damage boost through archer. Also it's a holdover from 1.0 that they're hopefully going to be phasing out with the next expac.

I recently got a small house and have been decorating it.

r8 my crib Holla Forums

Don't even care nigga the prices be low as fuck on my server.

I feel sick as a Cuchulainn today and not sure if I want to log in for raid.

Lewd.

at least I got my enchanted rubber so im like 1/4 of the way there.

...

...

I thought it was just a minion?

outfit and minion.

horrifying.

What.

crafting and gathering are jewish territories.

hahaha
hahahahahHAAHA
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

so haven't played for a while come back cause maid outfit and 3.3 patch.

missed out on a emote eureka think I'm gonna go kill myself cause it won't come around for another year or so, and is the only event i missed

How much were these tickets again?

I'll be honest, i have never bought addons for games ever, but to give my goth looking au ra qt lulus dress AND release the bust slider limiter?

i'm sweating.

I'd rather just release the limiter. Or hell, quit having so many damn clothes nerf bust size. Most of the actual armor is fine and all but cloth like the company tabard shouldn't flatten a character.

I just want to see more tiny girls with large oppai. Its the best combo after full /ara/

The retards that make shit like the summer dresses that lower bust size should be gassed though.

derishuss

That. Why the fuck are casual clothes so flattening?


That's fine too.

Light brown with dark freckles

So what the fuck do I do now that I've hit 60 Botanist?

I know that I have to farm scrips for those tokens to get the folklore books, but how the hell do they expect you to get the stats to get the ilvl180 equipment?

I don't have much gil, and I sure as hell won't start spending millions on 1 piece of equipment.

You might be on to something.


You'll probably have to cough up the money for serpentskin stuff depending on your perception, but after that getting the scrips for the 180 stuff gets easy.

I've got full serpentskin. My main problem is that I can't get the Counterfoil I need to get the 180 stuff.

Do you meld? theres npcs that do it now you know.

I've put as high of materia as I can into each slot I have available. I'm sitting at 627 Gathering, and 631 Perception, with 605 GP.

L== ==O== ==L

Then you either use moogles to boost the FUCK out of leveling LTW or you camp the marketboard hoping your server doesnt have a german black market.

Don't Moogles require a level 50 DoH just to get started?

I think so but theres the ixal and craft levels to gat 1-50 really fucking easily now. i got all but GSM from 1-50 this way in about a month.

How much are you hitting cysahl greens for? You might be able to get it with the rng based rotation but that's usually a crapshoot.

FUCKING HOW.

i can only assume rich as fug and buying all the marketplace stuff they can for the 60-80 sand but 60-80 umbrites? the daily roullettes allow for 2 or 3 umbrites a day depending on the dungeons you get, how bad do you farm for the 14-28k worth of umbrite esos already?

and where? premades spamming aether reasearch facility all day?

I can get them to 500 with the Discern into normal Apprasial.

Hunting whenever the fuck you can and doing aetherochemical at odd moments. Sands are a complete nonissue, and this is coming from someone who hates crafting and is a poorfag. I'm currently at 192. I would be done by now, but I want to preserve some of my sanity. I refuse to do another relic after this.

The only thing putting me off more than 4 or 5 sand a day is my only crafter at 60 is LTW, that means blue scripts are all from dragonskin which is never on my MB and the best drop is from green dragons in churning mist that drop it maybe once every 7 kills. The time just dont seem worth it for the sand.

and im not playing 2 million kill for the type 0 stuff cus god damn

...

Anyone remember the names of the stacks of books for housing?

Pile of Tomes.

The what now?

source? I mean if its true then I still dont feel bad for korea, bunch of shit taste faggots but I really hate nexon getting anything.

ff14.nexon.com/main/

KR nexon is better than NA/EU nexon, doesn't mean it's a good thing though, just not AS BAD.

Is this game worth starting over in current year? I only got to level 30 or so last time.

If you have friends or the mental capacity to make some, then yeah. If you plan on exclusively trying to be a solo player ala kirito uchiha then it's probably not for you.

We have a free company on exodus if you need faggots to play with.

Daily reminder that AST is a shitty healer.

AST is fine

butt.

Final boss of weeping city of mhach by the way if you haven't done that yet

Rip in peace FFXIV general.

ast is awesome but only when they give me the balance card so I can pad my dps

Here's hoping 4.0 gives us better asses.

...

anyone here clear nidhogg ex? is it possible to do without a seph ex weapon?

Probably, but I can't let myself to go in with fucking rising suns with the relic 9 ore and 2 oils away.

I never even started the relic, rip my dps

sephi Ex weapons isn't even the best weapons, get your lore weapon nigga.

I haven't even tried nignog EX because i still haven't done sephirot EX.

fuck that, I only have like 3 gears and you need like 7 for the lore weapon

also FUCK welfare weps

Sheeeeeyiiiiitttt

Sheeeeeit.

...

SO FUCKING CLOSE
