I'll never get over how the Goobue mount's noodle arms flop around when it flies lmao.
It looks goofy as hell xDHave you seen the flying animations for the Behemoth mount? It's...a sight.
Churning air like it's heavy pudding.Have you seen the flying animations for the Behemoth mount? It's...a sight.
Yeah, most likely. Yet another character from a raid storyline that will probably show up in the MSQ at some point. That's why I kinda suggest people do them all if you can. You never know what they'll pull from.The LTTP post is around 3300 words lol. Probably will post tomorrow at a better time where I can respond.
Also finally did the Warring Triad questline.
Actually wiped three times at Zurvan hilariously. Someone pulled early and we all got cleaved leaving everyone dumbfounded. 2nd time no one knew mechanics and we had too many deaths. Had someone get sassy at me for saying the word "damn" after the 2nd wipe, it aint that serious folks. 3rd time the mechanics were explained incorrectly and caused a full party wipe. Got it the 4th time lmao. Though story wise
So Unukalhai is totally another part of us like Ardbert, isn't he? Only(?) survivor from that star and he possesses the echo. Not to mention Elidibus bringing him over and how Shadowbringers ends with him plotting something, makes me think we will get more out of him soon.
I have to do Warring Triad and the Kami ones from SBYeah, most likely. Yet another character from a raid storyline that will probably show up in the MSQ at some point. That's why I kinda suggest people do them all if you can. You never know what they'll pull from.
I expect another post tomorrow finishing the msq.
Was doing Tsukuyomi EX unsynced clear yesterday and we wiped 3 times on meteors because of ppl going to the wrong letters, 2 of which were the offtank somehow not remembering his letter. Like, you're the only offtank, you always get a marker, you go to A with it. How hard can that be? Luckily got it in the end cause we had good DPS so once we finally managed to get past meteors alive, she just kinda melted. Did a party before that couldn't clear her cause lvl 80s doing 5k and less DPS somehow, with 25% echo.
I'd say you go into party finder and either look for one or you make your own group, designate it as a learning party and go from thereOk, guys, so I've finally completed Eden's Gate 1-4 and all of them were done through groups from the Duty Finder.
Now I want to tackle Savage mode. How do I go about finding a group for this? Especially those who wouldn't mind doing practice runs and do having a couple of wipes
I actually found that MCH started being pretty fun at around level 40. It's one of the only jobs I've actually enjoyed playing at a low level.Problem is leveling a Machinist is ROUGH holy crap. The initial levels are so bad, a lot of what makes Machinist interesting is locked at high levels, whereas RDM has basically the complete rotation at level 50 with only a few ogcds and finishers added at higher levels.

Hopefully another week of gear and some i460 weapons helps out with the DPS checks.
I would start by watching a guide on some of the mechanics in the first fight so you have an idea what what you'll need to do to survive up until the adds show up. Preferrably its good to have an idea of all the mechanics in case your group can make it past there.
Initially join a phase 1 learning party. And then based off that look at what you need from there.
Also if you're on PC look into a program called Advanced Combat Tracker. Even if you don't want to use add ons like Cactbot (Equivalent to WoW's Deadly Boss Mods) its a good way to see how well you're performing DPS wise and from there you can upload logs to fflogs.com to analyze them even deeper and see how you compare with the rest of the playerbase.
Savage has DPS checks that require a decent amount of job performance. And since the raid tier is fresh there aren't many i460, 470, or 475 pieces around there to really carry DPS especially on the earlier fights.
Edit: I recommend searching your own name on fflogs right now. Chances are someone has probably already uploaded logs that included you on them so you can see how you're performing now. You should be aiming for 50-75 percentile DPS in i450 gear.
Been using one for years, you'll be fineI just searched my own name and nothing :(
If I don't speak about the parser in game or post screenshots with it, is there any risk that I get banned? I've always been curious about my dps as I feel I'm a pretty solid player.
PUGS? My static has problems understand flares

As long as you don't talk about any 3rd party stuff ingame you'll be fine. Plenty of hardcore prog streamers/youtubers record with an ACT overlay showing DPS and are fine. Basically don't use it to harass people in chat.
Any tips on getting to know SAM? I'm trying to pick it up during the post ARR quests, just so my BRD isn't grossly overleveled by the time I hit Heavensward and I don't burn out on it as I can't use any skills above 50 until HW.
I was hoping the old guy from which you get the job would show you the ropes, but his next quest is on lvl 52 and there is no meaningful explanation/tutorial in the game. I'm getting confused by all of the skill names, combo's and the huge SEN blotches on my screen. I'm trying to put the skills in a logical place on my crossbar, but it's a bit much to take in at once.

Bit of a dumb question(s) incoming.
I'm on my first playthrough, still working through ARR. Really enjoying myself, but had two questions pop up as I go:
1) Playing as a Warrior, and that glowing light when my beast mode bar fills is kind of annoying. Any way to turn it off? Right now I'll just unequip/equip the crystal.
2) How do I change/try new jobs? And when I do, do I start at Level 1 for that job? I'm currently level 38 and I don't really understand the process of switching over to a new job. If I start at Level 1 again, how do I quickly get to my normal level if I completed all the low level quests?
Thanks all!
Do we have dates yet on when the next content updates are coming, specifically dungeons, Eden part 2 and post-MSQ?
Right now I'm in that lull where the only incentives I have left are leveling up jobs, but FE: Three Houses is already scratching my "number go up" itch, so I haven't logged in aside from collecting weekly Eden drops.
Also, now that I'm done with Shadowbringers' story, I had a couple of lore-based questions. These are spoilers, obviously:
1. Since the Scions were essentially given "fake bodies" while in the First, why is it that Thancred gets both his eyes back but Y'shtola is still blind?
2. Sidenote, I feel like they're pretty inconsistent with how Y'sh's blindness works. Apparently she can still read ancient tablets but can't see the sky?
3. I'm a bit confused on the whole thing with Graha Tia/Exarch. So the Exarch is a far in the future version of Tia who wakes up from the Crystal Tower? From my understanding he's the same guy from the Crystal Tower Raid, except he wakes up years later in the Source, and then goes back in time to the First? Yeah it got a bit weird.
4. Does WoL not suffer the same time discrepancy traveling between Source and First as the others? If they go back to Source for story reasons and then go back to First, then won't years have passed during the latter like before?
5. When the dwarf member of the Warriors of Darkness traveled to the Source, were they given a Lala body to "blend in", essentially? Because in the First there are no Lalas, just dwarves.
5.1 should be Octoberish, which will have MSQ, the first Nier raid, and other stuff. Eden wings are 5.2 and 5.4. We don't have specific dates for any of these though, no.Do we have dates yet on when the next content updates are coming, specifically dungeons, Eden part 2 and post-MSQ?

1) *shrug*
2) I'm pretty sure she can only kinda "see" things near her.
3) Yes. Garlond Ironworks employees woke up Tia after the Calamity happens, and then they work together to send Tia and the tower back in time to the First to prevent the Calamity from happening.
4) It mentions how the time dilation is always in flux and it just happens to settle down and become close to 1:1 when you get there, very concidentally
5) The healer role quest is all about the lala/dwarf WoD. Basically, (hopefully this tag works for spoiler in a spoiler if you want to play the role quest yourself) dwarves are literally just lalas that wear a hat. The beard is part of the hat. Female lalas/dwarves also wear the beard/hat. The lala WoD took off the hat/beard and got exiled from the dwarf community.

3. Makes me wonder what would happen if the Tia from the present would be freed. Does he have to remain asleep until the future time, or is that no longer a concern? If it's the latter then they should go wake up the poor boy.
5. This is wild and makes me wonder why the dwarves had beard wars to begin with (and how they're even made)
The idea is that he sleeps until he's needed. He seems to have made his peace with that. Since the Calamity was avoided, he's going to seemingly remain asleep past the point where he was woken up in the Calamity timeline. (Don't ask how he doesn't just fade out of existence in the First since the timeline in which he was awoken was seemingly avoided. I'm half convinced that the 5.X MSQ will be about how we didn't really prevent the Calamity, only delayed it or something)
We don't really know anything specific other than the fact that they're giant assholes. They literally shut diseased people in a cave (including lala WoD's sister) and then exiled lala WoD for curing them just because she broke their traditions while doing so. They're real pricks re: their traditions. "Lali ho" is cool and all but high key fuck the dwarves, I'm glad the healer role quest ended with the dwarf/lala you were with leaving them behind and being better for it (Sin eater version of lala WoD only healed those without dwarf helmets, the lala/dwarf you do the role quest with put their own helmet on the sin eater WoD so it wouldn't heal itself, she literally stopped a sin eater and saved many people by taking off her helmet but dwarves are assholes)

depends on time travel rules. If it's avengers endgame it's 2 distinct separate timelines now. As he hasn't disappeared, that is likely what they're going with.
Super basics, look at the guide on The Balance if you want more specifics:
You have three combos which give you Sen: Kasha, Gecko, and Yukikaze. They also have positional requirements for Kenki bonuses.
Hakaze -> Shifu -> Kasha (Ka). This wants to be done on the flank. Shifu will also reduce your weaponskill cast time by 13%.
Hakaze -> Jinpu -> Gecko (Getsu). This wants to be done by the rear. Jinpu will give you a 13% damage buff.
Hakaze -> Yukikaze (Setsu). You can do this anywhere.
AoE combos are dead simple:
Fuga-> Mangetsu (Getsu)
Fuga -> Oka (Ka)
If that's confusing, just think of them by the colors they correspond to. Beating up a dummy helps a lot.
You spend the Sen on Iaijutsu, which changes based on how many Sen you have: One for Higanbana (DoT), Two for Tenka Goken (AoE), and finally Three for Midare Setsugekka (Big Dick Damage). You want to keep Higanbana up as consistently as possible, and then go for Midare or Tenka depending on the situation. Keep your chain going through Iaijutsu (e.g.: If you've done Kasha, want to spend it on Higanbana, but your Jinpu buff has expired, go through Gecko to Jinpu first, then use Gecko after applying Higanbana), and you'll do fine.
Turn the Sen gauge to the simple mode in the HUD options because there's really no need for it to be so big.
As for Kenki, you're going to be spending it to use Kaiten to buff your Iaijutsu until you get to level 62, when you'll start to learn other skills that use it. Don't worry about it too much until you get there.
Been doing the Labyrinth of The Ancients for the SAM/MNK set for my SAM. And after 15 runs, only missing the chest piece. Glamour is true endgame.
Can probably just run around a random housing ward until you find one in someone's yard.Are there any level 80 striking dummies out in the world?
I've gotta do this sometime for my NIN even though I don't play it now.
A lot of people run POTD on new jobs from floor 1. It introduces skills more slowly that way. Sam is pretty basic but any job where you suddenly get 20 skills dumped on is gonna take some parsing through your abilities to wrap your head around no matter how hard or easy.Thx Pandora012 and MochaKoffee , will have a look later with your explanations to see if it makes some more sense. I guess a training dummy somehwere is going to feel sore tonight!

I also wouldn't mind in on this, if you'll accept a lowly whm/blm main
