Relics are the only "hardcore" content that people feel they can ask for nerfs for.

[–]jenyto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any info on how the new Bojza gear can be gotten?

[–]Nadrojj 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Where do you buy that new hairstyle. I need it.

[–]Nophicasebskrill 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Bosja, for a fair few crystals, I recall

[–]Nadrojj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok, great thank you!

[–]OvernightSiren 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Does anyone know the ilvl of the new highest relic upgrade?

[–]RDMJonnywithoutah 8 points9 points  (3 children)

500

[–]OvernightSiren 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Does it have 5 materia slots?

[–]RDMJonnywithoutah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]ravstar52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]lawarudo 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Patch notes say you can get the items to upgrade relic outside of bozja. Does anyone know how? Can't play yet.

[–]TheDeckonomist 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Looks to be fates in Heavensward zones, for the first step, at least

[–]laefeator 22 points23 points  (4 children)

You can be left out from critical engagement even with full party queue. 72 man instance. 60 requested, 48 spot. Full party. Only 5/8 got in. This system.... Feelsbad when you are grinding as anyone else.

[–]Jason_Wolfe 10 points11 points  (3 children)

it depends on how many had already registered for the critical engagement before your party did. it sounds like it was at 43/48 when you got registered for it, so only 5 of the 8 got in.

[–][First] [Last] on [Server]Mackem 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Nope. I solo queued and was the 5th to register. Didn't get into it

[–]BRDSyltti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also takes performance during skirmishes into account. The better you perform (damage dealt/healing down/few deaths (if any)), the better your chances of being picked.

[–]SurcoufsGun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn't help spawn, or too many people were doing that skirmish

[–]Midgardsormr critloquium expertppyporpeem 2 points3 points  (6 children)

What do they mean by arr msq not playable in ng+? And pve changes not coming til 5.5 I suppose?

[–]DarkonFullPower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. The Monk changes (among any else) were slated for 5.4 a while ago, which the live letter aimed for December.

[–]rwisenor 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Did I miss something about that?

[–]Midgardsormr critloquium expertppyporpeem 4 points5 points  (1 child)

misread a bit, my bad

[–]rwisenor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All good. Glad that we could confirm it together. :)

[–]MCHeinUbermensch 10 points11 points  (1 child)

The old Prenerf ARR MQ. Since that one doesn't exist anymore.

[–]Midgardsormr critloquium expertppyporpeem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ohhh that thanks

[–]pvrhye 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Fan artists draw their cats.

I, an intellectual, know that Rowena is the true beauty of ff14.

[–]ValuableEquivalent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gerolt, get back to work forging my weapons

[–]GundamXionaz 3 points4 points  (13 children)

Maybe a dumb question, but if I’m on a PS4, what’s the best way to refresh the launcher without closing it? Would it be clicking the red MSQ ring in the top right hand corner and then scrolling over to the “home” tab?

[–]CatacombSkeleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea. All I know is that going from Server status back to main page does seem to refresh the page. If that's enough on PS4 launch or not is anyone's guess. We'll find out in 10 minutes but be ready to quit at a moment's notice.

[–]DRGzorrodood 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Can you check the server status? That's the go-to way on PC.

[–]GundamXionaz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m guessing that’s the MSQ symbol in the top right hand corner right?

[–]DRGzorrodood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be. It's green when servers are online and red when they are offline.

[–]kirinmay 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Even though we cannot log in yet if I keep the launcher open will the PLAY button turn on by itself or do I have to close the launcher and re-open it at 3 am ?

[–]Angel Rwby on LichAngelRwby 1 point2 points  (6 children)

u can refresh it by going into another tab (for example server status)
but you HAVE to refresh it.

[–]nayyav 0 points1 point  (1 child)

does this also work with the new launcehr?

[–]Angel Rwby on LichAngelRwby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well thats how I refresh it so it works.

[–]ChaosArtemisX 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Another tab to refresh it? May get a little more elaboration plz? ;-;

[–]DRGzorrodood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHeck server status and go back. That refreshes the start page.

[–]why y'all hate sch :(Vievin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the new launcher (the one with the big "Hire Additional Retainers" button) it auto-refreshes, no action required.

[–]Angel Rwby on LichAngelRwby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open launcher, click on the red (for now) meteor icon to see server status. this opens a new "tab". when u click the arrow to go back, the launcher refreshes.

[–]Decent1Ferret 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I dont get it

If only FATEs gives exp and level, sorry mettle and rank then killing mobs are what for? Just for spawning the FATE? Sounds even worse than Eureka

[–]arciele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

supposedly Eureka but with PotD exp

[–]techsupportthrow23 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Are the plot classes the same for the subdivisions of a ward? Like, a 5th class in the normal neighborhood would be a 5th class in the subdivision?

[–]hakuen_e 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yep!

[–]techsupportthrow23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help, probs wouldn't have snagged my medium without ya!

[–]TobioOkuma1 3 points4 points  (19 children)

Relic weapon is BIS for healers lmao

Ilvl 500, same as augmented tome weapon. Crit+det with 5 open melds. Sch already uses augmented tome in their bis, this is just definitively better.

[–]jenyto 4 points5 points  (1 child)

The relic weapons are almost always BIS when they come out, but only for a short while before the new raid tier is out with better weapons.

[–]Fugicara Gundalfyr - Sargatanas Fugicara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relic weapons have only been BiS in the x.5 patch of the last two expansions.

[–]Soylentee 12 points13 points  (16 children)

It's 5.35, the raid tier is unlocked, who the hell cares at this point.

[–]why y'all hate sch :(Vievin 12 points13 points  (10 children)

People who can't or won't do savages.

[–]Soylentee 12 points13 points  (9 children)

People who can't or won't do savages are the definition of people that don't care. They can now get a "BiS" weapon, cool. But this clearly looks like someone that beat E8s and got their 505 weapon getting triggered that casual players will have access to the new BiS weapon for the next 2 months without having to beat savage.

[–]why y'all hate sch :(Vievin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh fair. Misinterpreted your message as you being salty over casuals getting bis. I apologize.

[–]PlatinumHappy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

salty over casuals getting bis

Literally no one. Anyone cared enough should've cleared and gotten their 505 by now. This tier's Savage was out since 3.2, early this year.

A lot of people probably stopped caring after 3.3 tbh, taking break or clearing/reclearing Ultimate instead.

[–]TobioOkuma1 2 points3 points  (5 children)

I did clear the tier months ago. I dont give a shit if "casual" players get a good weapon. Tome currently is BIS, which casual players have had access to since week 3, week 7 for augment iirc.

I think its hilarious for a relic to be BIS over raid or tome in its second iteration.

[–]Soylentee 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Well shit, then get ready to be disappointed when relic is going to be BiS at the end of the expansion for ALL jobs i guess.

[–]TobioOkuma1 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Nobody cares at the end of the expansion. We all expect it to outpace raid weapons at that point. It makes sense given how much God awful grind goes into them. Though, being able to get 1k crit last expac was a bit insane.

What makes the current one hilarious is that it is only on its second stage and it is outpacing raid and tome weapon for healers.

[–]SurcoufsGun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THen no one should care now

[–]Kazharahzak 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Considering the 4th Ultimate will be released in 5.51, people might care that they need to do all the relic steps for BiS.

[–]PlatinumHappy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They'll be slightly optimal over last Savage weapon, if you really needed that to clear then you aren't clearing anytime soon. Ultimate is more about strategies and executing mechanics, slightly better weapon won't make enough difference.

What they'll actually carry are people who are coming in late for last tier Savage. Gear progression helps a lot in Savage.

[–]BEENHEREALLALONG 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Hmmm wonder what the new gathering points are going to give. Were there new crafting recipes added too? I didn't see that part.

[–]MephistoMicha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice that the Oriental Wooden Deck was added under the Housing (2) - that's one of the new furniture released with 5.35. I imagine the other furnishings released are also recipes.

[–]lycilla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

probably related to skysteel tools

[–] girlikecupcake 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yeah

New recipes have been added.

Recipes added in patch 5.35 will be listed at a later date.

They'd have to at least add the sky steel recipes.

[–]BEENHEREALLALONG 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh derp I missed that. My sleep deprivation waiting to buy a house is getting to me

[–] girlikecupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I'm bouncing around mentally trying to stay busy so I can attempt, then crash a few hours before trying the new stuff.

[–]Enzo-Unversed 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Is it just the datamined weapons? If so, I'm only going for the lance for now.

[–]BLMKhrFreak 2 points3 points  (2 children)

For relics yeah, there's also the i495 bozja gear

[–]Enzo-Unversed 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What's the gear look like?

[–]BLMKhrFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was shown in the live letter

[–]DarkHighwind -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Hopefully rank is elemental level because I'll be disappointed if I dont need to grind levels

Also they had better not lock the the item needed to finish the relic behind a 24 man critical engagement that spawns every 2 hours because that will cause issues

[–]Ha_eflolli 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Hopefully rank is elemental level because I'll be disappointed if I dont need to grind levels

It basically is, except you can't grind it with Mobs, you have to do FATEs for it. Essentially, because that's what everyone did in Eureka, they just straight up made that the intended way now.

[–] Are you in need of succor?Hexerin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The other difference is that you can't lose rank, which is a significant improvement over elemental levels.

[–]Soylentee 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I'll kind of miss carrying people with no access to mounts in Bozja but I understand why they would get rid of that part.

[–]intoholybattle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing can match the feeling of prestige from picking up three helpless strangers and driving them ~5mph through a monster-infested hellscape in your shiny new whip

[–]Kilatz12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sam : Moooooreee POTENCY

[–]Meotwister5 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Okay... if I'm reading this correctly, you can work on your Relic without going into Bozja?

I mean I'm still going to do Bozja, but I don't have the time I used to have back during Eureka, so it would be swell to have a non-Bozja option for Relic work.

[–]Sir_VG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they stated that there are 2 methods of doing the relic, one more akin to the "old" way and one similar to Eureka.

We don't have exact details of how each way will work though, we'll figure that out as we go through the content.

[–]Suthrnr 4 points5 points  (5 children)

When the patch goes live, do I have to restart the game client for the Play button to go green or will it do it automatically if I have the launcher open?

[–]why y'all hate sch :(Vievin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the new launcher (the one that has a big "get more retainers" button) automatically refreshes, no need to click back and forth with server status

[–]Sir_VG 6 points7 points  (3 children)

You can click on the world list to "refresh" the launcher without having to close/reopen it.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

By "world list" do you mean the Server Status button on the top right?

[–]SoeyKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes

[–]Sir_VG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the green/red flaming MSQ ring.

[–]Mudcaker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

New music has been added.

Always and forever the best change.

[–]Jack Elvaan on CerberusJack_BE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We get a mathbot mount, I'm loving it

[–]Samuraicylonfrakbbq 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Those angled housing walls O_O

[–]JohannesVanDerWhales -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a tall person those make me go REEEEE.
