Finished The Ultimate Weapon...

I love this game and I can't believe it took me so long to give it a chance. I know I'm 100 quests away from HW but I don't mind it, there's lot of stuff I want to do at the sametime.
You're in for a treat. The story ramps up quite a lot leading into HW.

did Urianger's voice actor change? I dont mean from ARR onward like everyone else, I mean just now in 4.4. He sounds different.

Also,
Scions are just dropping like flies
at the end of 4.4 fam :o

I don't know why I waited so long to setup a mouse-over macro for Aetherial Manipulation, but it sure is nice.

I didn't really know what it did until I was watching Sfia's E1S BLM video last night and saw him using it without changing targets.

4.5 ending was good, mainly because the dungeon was fantastic. Excited to start Shadowbringers tomorow, here's to another 100 hours I guess.

Just watched the Shadowbringers CG thing for the first time.

I....have so many questions.




I have no idea what to expect from this expansion but it seems like its going to be a lot crazier than just dicking around in another country for fifty hours.

Damn, Rhaknar is setting one hell of a pace.

Back when he first started talking about HW, I was just going through post SB patch content. Now he's right at SHB too.

So real talk: can you even do ShB MSQ only without the road to 70 buff or do you have to compliment it with daily roulettes?

I've been doing all the daily roulettes as Astro who is now 77, and the normal quest stuff with various others (but mostly Dancer once I stopped fucking around), and I wanted to still do that in ShB but it probably doesnt work?

As in progress the MSQ as Dancer still, but then do the daily stuff on other jobs once Astro is 80 instead of "wasting" it on the Dancer.

You might need to do one or two leveling roulettes to get from 79 to 80 but the MSQ should be enough for the rest.

edit: I take it back. The Pixie daily quests give you a ridiculous amount of XP so just start doing those every day once you unlock them and you shouldn't need any extra roulettes.

That's not bad at all then. And either way, my goal was to have my Astro at 80 or close enough so that every dungeon/trial roadblock I hit I can just queue as healer, and at 77 and half, that's close enough, 2 or 3 more days of dailies should be enough for 80 and meanwhile the MSQ is enough :)

You might get level gated once or twice. One leveling roulette a day will be more than enough though (probably don't even need that much).

I won't sugar coat it some them quests still exist and if you notice and bugged by them now you will pick up on here more in HW even though they reduced massively. The plot and characters are vastly improved which helps MSQ are great i rarely do side quests unless I'm not levelling up enough for my liking or if like a area.

Ghimlyt is a great showpiece final dungeon, but as part of a tiny Expert roulette at the time, it swiftly wore out its welcome, and I can't really stand it anymore, lol.

Once you hit 80, you can engage in the True Endgame:

Jesus, do they still only have like two dungeons in expert roulette?

there's a expert roulette at 80? I assume that is only for level 80s, and thus pointless for xp purposes.

Man one thing from HW that fucked me up was
Post hw and stormblood spoiler
Ga Bu that broke me emotionally and I felt like shit it worse when you seen him again in Stormblood. I love the Kobold beasts quests and design so seeing a cute child one becoming a catatonic mess after seeing his family murdered was rough.

Im okay with a handful of them just not like almost 200 of them like ARR was lol.


Any tips for what to do first in HW before i start ? Should i go for the flying mount asap ?

that be given to you the downside is finding aetherspots on the map so you can even fly. You find all zones spots then can fly and increase movement speed when mounted if find a few. Some are also unlocked via side quests with the plus symbol next to it.

honestly just do story and your dailies to keep your level up don't worry about gear as the ARR quests gave you decent gear already or use your tomes for Aug gear in Mor Dhona.

They put the recent endgame dungeons into Expert for daily tomestones. It's quick, and you'll probably trash the gear for GC Seals, so that's something, too.

Expert is fine when you have a decent selection of dungeons for it to choose from (as we currently do, at 4), not so much when it looks like this for like three months:

The other roulette you probably don't have is the Mentor Roulette, which is certainly... Fun.

They actually said we are only getting one dungeon per patch from now on. So uh...I dunno what ex roulette will be in 5.2.
