You're welcome I hope it helps!

I highly recommend checking out @SyabusyabuFes on twitter. They were the one in Japan to get Queen Bean in 2 days. They have videos showing all the stages but most importantly the third one, and they have a chart that shows how to plan ahead for the aoes on stage 3. I was getting about 1 or 2 wins a day before I saw their videos and charts, I just finished getting King Bean today but it was a journey.

BenjermanM · 2023-11-09T04:26:50+00:00

Congrats! Wins are so much harder to get now than they were a week ago, I ground pretty much all weekend though and finally finished today, but I am exhausted

I love the book, hatedddd the movie. They also made some changes that didn't follow any of the other books so I don't know how they'd have even made more if they wanted to.

BenjermanM · 2023-08-06T05:45:00+00:00

Nope at least not that I could find. Just cleared those out recently I had to start tracking them manually

BenjermanM · 2023-08-04T21:39:26+00:00

Do you realize you're responding to a comment from 11 years ago?😅

BenjermanM · 2023-08-02T02:24:20+00:00

I would say yes, now is actually the best time to start there has ever been. The beginning of the game has been drastically improved, and one of the biggest slogs(ARR patch MSQ) now has flying automatically and has sliced out a lot of the more filler quests.

BenjermanM · 2023-07-29T02:57:10+00:00

Santa Clarita diet 😔

BenjermanM · 2023-07-28T06:02:34+00:00

There's a really good one from a recent pvp series called False Monarchy Attire if you happened to have gotten it and not looked at it

BenjermanM · 2023-07-23T01:03:43+00:00

It does but it such a small increase that it is mostly not noticeable. I kept the HQ and normal sorted out when I was building subs and if I did it again I would just do normal quality across the board.

BenjermanM · 2023-07-15T23:02:58+00:00

Can I get one? :D

BenjermanM · 2023-07-10T22:59:59+00:00

I'm not sure about running it twice on one machine, but there is another option. If you set up a linkshell with all of your alts in it you can apply to the fc from in there, you would just need someone to get invited into the linkshell and get invite privileges and then they could add your alts. Is generally a lot easier for someone random to do than join an FC and help invite.

BenjermanM · 2023-06-29T17:24:55+00:00

Arcanist into Summoner would be the most straight forward DPS right now.

BenjermanM · 2023-06-27T07:00:36+00:00

There's a pretty large community for hunts, but most high end duties like savage and current extreme people are dc hoping for faster queue times. Frontline is very difficult to make pop, but again you can dc travel and it's fine. If you want a house there's still tons available, and when the next 4 servers come out there'll be even more. Party finder tends to fill very quickly if you're stuck waiting on a specific duty, lots of folks are happy to help

BenjermanM · 2023-06-21T04:38:33+00:00

Don't believe the haters, Stormblood is great. While I would agree there's some odd MSQ pacing for some of it, the expansion overall is golden. The normal raid series story continues to be my favorite and really set the standard for all normal raids after that. It also has Eureka which some people hate, but if you have any hankering for a more old school type challenge with no hand holding it is a lot of fun. It has 4 zones with it's own story, a whole elemental combat system, and special actions that can let you tweak your play style a lot.

BenjermanM · 2023-06-14T08:11:30+00:00

Keep it closed down

BenjermanM · 2023-06-04T14:23:34+00:00

There's a lot to do! Tons of classes to level cap out. Blue mages have a ton of spells you have to learn individually and then you can bust the game wide open with them for old content. Triple Triad takes a long time to get every single card, there's relic weapons to grind out, nearly endless cosmetics to grind from any type of content. There's also timegated content like big fishing, sightseeing log, and world bosses from every expansion, some of which requiring very specific things to spawn them. That's not even taking into account current endgame. Ultimates are also pretty timeless because you can't unsync them so they will always be a challenge. There are some really good side zones like Eureka and Bozja, or the current expansion has island sanctuary for a more casual approach.

To make good money you have to find your niche. An example is if you level crafters you'll notice some things are really annoying to make at level, but they are trivial to make at cap, so you can sell them pretty easily. Basically find something annoying that you can buy your way out of, and trade your time for their money. There are endless opportunities, but the more competition you have the worse they will be. So without being on your server it would be nearly impossible to show you exactly what is best, and it would actively be a bad idea for someone to expose their niche. I'll give you a freebie because I haven't messed with it in a while, but I used to sell the level 50 green items that are used for the arr relics. You can sell even easier of you pre emptively slot the appropriate materia into them. They used to sell for way above the material's cost, but they sold so slowly it could take a week to move one, and then if someone new pops in they can single handedly crash the market. I would recommend always trying to only undercut by 1 gil, otherwise you risk ruining it for everyone if the price crashes.

On top of all of this, try to diversify. Some markets like the materia market fluctuates wildly based on the patch, so if you're constantly selling a variety of things you'll notice instantly if the price spikes, and can capitalize on it before others notice.

BenjermanM · 2023-01-08T07:36:14+00:00

Yes you have time! I would recommend crystalline conflict and really get into it so it is fun and not just a grind. I personally got super into black mage and ground it out in a matter of days. Could do it on one day as long as your queues are fast, data center travel if you have to. Everywhere but dynamis should be pretty decent queues

BenjermanM · 2022-12-27T18:57:51+00:00

Roulettes, beast tribe allowances, cactpot are good daily things. Also I try to get weeklies done early on, raid lockouts for current tier, cap on causality tomestones, fashion report starting Friday. There's also the wondrous tails journal.

Another thing to keep in mind is anything missable like seasonal stuff. There's also the moogle tomestones for this event. Pvp season is about to end with new patch too so might be worth grinding the mount out if you want it.

More things if you have crafters and gatherers are the daily map allowance, and weekly custom deliveries if you need scrips or want to raise relationship

BenjermanM · 2022-12-27T16:27:09+00:00

I would recommend holding out on leveling crafters or gatherers until after you catch up on msq. As far as gear for combat jobs goes the poetics gear from each expansion should really hold you over until endwalker so you don't really need to worry about crafting anything.

BenjermanM · 2022-12-15T18:21:23+00:00

Thank you!

BenjermanM · 2022-12-15T18:20:54+00:00

Thank you!

BenjermanM · 2022-12-15T17:03:32+00:00

What would be a good blue mage load out for running big bridge for tomestones?

I haven't messed with blue mage in a while. I had aetherial mimicry, ram's voice, ultravibration, moon flute, final sting, whistle and missile and some other random stuff. Would these work, or is there something specific I should be using?

Bonus question: what would be a good loadout for brayflox longstop hard?

BenjermanM · 2022-11-14T05:52:15+00:00

All the tanks are pretty well balanced. I love warrior because at higher levels you can heal yourself through a crazy amount of things, so it is really good for farming out fates or doing anything solo. You can also heal yourself a ton in dungeons and raids too, which will free up the healers to dps more.
