the only time it would be fitting to play it would have been at Zenos. After that there's no really thematic place for it so it is ok. Also Revolutions is the weakest of the main themes so far imo
Aetheric Density? Pretty much anything Heavensward and before, as I recall. The typical strat is to get some buds to spam A1S, and you'll get it done in like half an hour. Otherwise, spam Brayflox Hard unsynced if you're flying solo.
This video goes into detail for all the steps:
Thanks, im doing this stuff solo so Brayflox unsync sounds good.
This entry still has my favorite takes on the traditional jobs in the series. They give them more personality and flesh them out.
Warrior felt like your bog standard melee guy with swords in classic games but here, they're sort of these badass berserkers with giant axes with their own lore.

There's usually a party on party finder doing the A1S. I would highly recommend getting a gropu as it's faster.
If you want to mix it up, I'm pretty sure anything Heavensward and ARR is fair game. Brayflox Hard unsynced is just super fast.
I got a good bit of it for my Pally Anima while I was farming for the Valkyrie's Striking set in Gubal Hard.
Either way, the remaining steps are pretty much just persistence. You'll get it eventually.
I never did any A savage stuff, would it require any learning unsync?
Yeah this is stuff im doing while watching/listening to other things, so im not to worried about the grind of it.
If you have max lvl gear then you should be able to solo the regular stuff and that'll unlock savage.
Nah. You just zerg it down now unsynced. It's done in like a minute.
It is faster to go the Alex Savage route, but if you're not worried about the grind, then do either.
Lol no i meant learning the savage fight so i dont fuck it up for the rest of the party.
Iv had mixed experience going into unsync raid stuff blind, sometimes theres that one mech that just doesnt care about how op you are.
I made a Lux in 3.5. Even then, A1S was a tank and spank. It will be no problem unsynced now.
Awesome, thanks for the help yall.
Just stalk PFer and spam A9S Takes no time. Can kill fight in 2 mins.
Oh no, what did I say wrong here?
I like the Rak'tika music, or at least I did at first. After a while though, the LAHEE got really grating.
Sar exatrine this week and more wormhole pulls turned into Perfect pulls than not. Got 3 days next week instead of one day so should see clear woop woop.
Time to show some respect for AST for all the effort we put into playing it.
They're gonna juke us with WHM in the first trailer and reveal its actually GEO.
Man SHB Thancred sucks I prefer goofy Han Solo rip off not this Thancred and he only been back in the plot for 10mins.
god please tell the Il Meg is not going be Slyph nightmare again god I hated the Slyphs

Il Mheg is a fantastic zone with fantastic instance content. East Shroud doesn't hold a candle to it.
ok my initial impressions on shadowbrigners now that I did the "intro" let's call it up to the first dungeon
Anyway its great stuff and a much better start than Stormblood for sure.
edit: Kinda felt like trying the new Trust system but I didnt.
- I love how bleak it is. On Alphi's quest, you meet a bunch of poor people desperate for a safe place to stay, and rich fuckers taking advantage of it in their fancy city. A trope always easy to apreciate, it's easy to ahte rich people lol. On Ali's side, it's even bleaker with MORE poor people, this time with no rich safe haven, instead just a assisted suicide center (yikes) and the stuff with the girl was nightmare fuel.
- I like the villains because im a big sucker for the "light / angels/ good as a force of evil" trope (probably because I think religion is a sham but that's neither here nor there lol)
- The zones are...ok. Not bad but not exactly a visual splendor so far, both were very desert-y, I do like those purple woods tho.
- First dungeon was good, not amazing but good. Last boss was actually kinda hard the first time. I had a hero tank which always annoys me (if you're pulling so much I can't keep your health above 30% even tho I'm spamming you, maybe that's a clue you shouldnt pull so much mate?)

The Trust system has positives and negatives. Positives are that you get to practice the dungeons without worrying about messing things up for a group of real players and that you get to skip long DPS queues if that's what you play. Negatives are that the AI companions' DPS is abysmal so dungeons take forever, AI doesn't use AOE at all which only compounds the previous problem, and if you die it's treated as a party wipe.
It works for it's intended purpose of getting players who prefer to play solo through story dungeons, but now that I've completed 5.0 I doubt I'll use it again.
Hopefully they get a buff, no aoe seems pretty needlessly dumb.
I really love the idea of getting to use the supporting cast members as party members.
When I first got to Eulmore, I was subjected to a bunch of chucklefucks and their shitty "IS THIS THE SOCIALISMS???" takes in shout chat, so take heart in knowing you probably have the better experience lol
Trusts are way too slow for me to bother wanting to use them, but they're probably the best way to experience the dungeons for the first time, since they have some neat character interactions in them.
The main thing I really want at this point is for NG+ to have EXP added.

I enjoyed going through the dungeons for the first time with trusts. Mainly for the little bits of dialogue you get but also because Shadowbringers really feels like you are travelling with a traditional FF party so it felt right to do dungeons with that party when I got the chance.
They're definitely painfully slow though.

Alphinaud: whew i'm glad everyone's alright :)

They're a good source of experience and nice for a quick scrip fill-up (I believe it's enough to over-cap you). It's worth it to turn in HQ stuff if you can, also.
That said, between leves and manuals, you'll have no trouble hitting 80 whatsoever, lol, so they're also kinda just there.
I imagine they wouldn't want to do this just to avoid the situation of there being a bunch of Y'Shtolas in one place.
That said, I want an Amaro companion. Give me my own Seto, YoshiP. :(
I've never done a single sidequest that doesn't unlock a feature since I started the game. I want to do them just to clear up the maps, but I have so many to do that I know I'll never do them.
Yeah. I've never been a fan of the Hobo Thancred design.
does Thancred drop his stupid 1 eye cover thing then?
YOU HAVE 2 EYES DUDE!
I do them on alt jobs to pass the time, like if im queuing for something that is 10m+, il clear out some sidequests on a alt for some free xp and to play the alt job a bit /shrug
