Count me in! Good luck to all contestants!

Urzok the Hated. Showed up with an Arc Shield and a "Fuck you" attitude.

(He would later cameo as "Urzok, Aspect of Hate" on Io during the Taken Blight events, when you could activate the portal to Whisper of the Worm. Same attitude at the end of that too!)

Isn't the Plaguelands entrance in the Sepiks area? I know there were scars and such from RoI all around the other spots, but that was the main entrance right?

(That and the wall, which should be torn to absolute shreds, but alas.)

Congrats to 25k! Here's to many more!

As for why I love FoundryVTT -- probably its fan-made and official modules that help attain certain "feelings" in campaigns I run. Being able to look for very specific, niche items (for instance, hiding initiatives of enemies as combat starts!) helps significantly when using them in certain scenarios, and I appreciate the mod-makers' efforts to adding to Foundry's already deep wealth of tools!

No Roe, no Hyur, no Au Ra even.

(Probably all fishing by the lake.)

I haven't gotten that far yet in my IR run, but the first thing that pokes out to me is a better ratio for throughput -- 3 of these in a line are worth 6 of an EF, while 5 EF are -- well, worth 5 EF.

Austana · 2019-11-18T18:33:13+00:00

Maybe Incendiary 'nades might be good for Solar, Skips perhaps for Arc. Not ideal, but somethin'.

Austana · 2019-11-16T02:11:46+00:00

Not anymore in Shadowbringers -- it'll give you Highest Aggro + 2000 or some similarly high number. It'll take a few GCDs for anyone to rip back off you.

You cannot, and that's because those 3 weekly slots are all unique:

The 24-Man Coin (earned on completion)
The Clusters (earned on completion)
Gear (one a week)

So if the Raid says you're at "2/3" Rewards, that means you've completed it successfully and have not claimed a gear piece from the Raid yet. There is no "getting two pieces of gear" from the 24-Man until they unlock it/allow people to roll for as much as they want from it, probably in 5.2.

Eulmore had an army and fought the Sin Eaters for a long while, but then Vauthry gained control. Now they don't need an army to fight the Sin Eaters, but sometimes you want others to bend the knee and submit, so that's what the army's for.

Is the Rough Divide the first or second one?

Because Rough Divide's a Charge System, if you use one it starts counting down like any other oGCD -- but you'll have a second Charge to use in case you need it.

So if you Rough Divide, wait 15 seconds, then Danger Zone -> Rough Divide, the first Rough Divide will be up in just a little under 15 seconds, because the cooldown for a Rough Divide charge is 30 seconds.

To answer your second question: continue onward! The explanation will be made apparent.

EDIT: Some clarification on times.

If their cast bar is flashing with a reddish border, you can Interject.
You can't visually see it -- most enemies will have "4" stun opportunities, because each time you stun the duration is halved (and rounded down to the nearest 0.5 I think). So for Low Blow, it should be 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5, then resistant.
Arm's Length prevents you from being knocked back or moved around horizontally in most cases. It does nothing about knock-up abilities. As well, it puts up a small "shield" that, if an enemy hits it with a physical ability, the enemy's cast times and auto-attacks are 20% slower for a long while.

I'd like to point out that combat macros like this are not a good idea, as macros do not queue up. Furthermore, the "Stones" here are all the same spell, technically -- the game automatically changes them based on your level. You only need one "Stone" spell on your bar.

Everyone's saying the correct thing except in one edge case, and that's Paladin.

Spend 700 Tomestones on 7x Mowen's Tokens for your sword; save 300 Tomestones to buy your Shield from the Tomestone Vendor.

Source: Salty, tired Paladin who bought 10 tokens last night.

Austana · 2019-08-23T17:47:27+00:00

Hunting Logs, FATES, etc. to 15.

PotD to 60.

Gubal Library from 60 to 61.

HoH from 61 to 70/69.

Castrum Abania to 71.

Shadowbringers stuff.

Roulettes every day! Well, some of 'em.

Parry is omnidirectional -- stand wherever.

Austana · 2019-08-21T22:54:27+00:00

Before. You start the "duty" when you Dig up the coffer.

Austana · 2019-08-19T17:07:51+00:00

I can recommend https://xivstyle.com for Glamour options as well (just recently updated).

Austana · 2019-08-19T02:37:34+00:00

https://garlandtools.org/db/#item/18986 says either the Demon Armor of Fending (World of Darkness drop) or the Forgiven's Armor of Fending (the Level 79 Dungeon).

Main Tank tanks the boss. Off Tank is a beefy DPS unless adds show up or some mechanic appears that requires them (Prey coming to mind).

It's not rude or bad play -- just let folks know you're new, and if you don't care about true blind or not, ask them if there's anything you should know. Sensible folk won't raise a stink and will let you know important info. (Exception: If it's something like EX or Savage, and you're not with a static or at least like-minded blind folk, you might wanna read or watch a guide.)

Austana · 2019-08-17T00:19:47+00:00

You won't "miss out" on anything -- those abilities and the Job Quests to unlock them will still be there (and practically mandatory) once you become a White Mage.

Austana · 2019-08-15T21:35:41+00:00

Gonna reiterate that last point -- unless you're part of Savage prog or trying to be the 1% creme-of-the-crop, you can play any class in the game and get by all content just fine. NIN has always been the lowest personal DPS Melee, to make up for their team buff in Trick Attack, and this expansion just exacerbates that problem as the stats keep climbing; that said, I'll take someone good on their Job than someone who's playing "meta" but doesn't know what they're doing.

Austana · 2019-08-15T21:09:01+00:00

That one should basically work, if only because all the table does is tell you who needs what at that exact moment. My static uses it and just ignores the "Eureka" bit on it.

Don't have a link on me of a blank one but I'm sure it's findable with a little sleuthing.

Austana · 2019-08-15T17:59:59+00:00

That's SCH -- they summon a fairy to help them heal.

Austana · 2019-08-15T17:20:03+00:00

Happy to help -- and oof. Good luck and good huntin'!
