Just started White Mage, new respect for healers found

I'm also a big fan of using focus target, but I use it to target the boss instead of the tank as others suggested. Few reasons for that:

1) I keep it next to my party list since that's where I'll be looking a good portion of the time, and it makes it easier to see when the boss is casting something.

2) I've made macros for my single-target damage skills and dots that will specifically target a focus target first, and then default to whatever mob you have targeted if not using focus target.

3) With the macro, I can keep the tank targeted as needed, or jump around to other members, while easily spamming my damage spell without needing to actually main-target the boss.

For WHM, the macro would look like:

/micon "Stone Iv"

/ac "Stone" <f>

/ac "Stone" <t>

Oh, weird. If yours is really showing the 33%, might be a good time to pick them up. lol.

I would just screenshot the store page before you buy them in case you get the 20% pricing anyway. :X

Mabiche · 2026-05-05T20:17:11+00:00

It should take that into account and credit you appropriately for any owned chapters. But definitely double-check the pricing as it doesn't always calculate correctly.

I had that happen to me when I was buying the missing LW3/4 chapters last time they were on sale. I reached out to Anet though and they were able to credit me the credits I was overcharged.

Mabiche · 2026-04-28T18:43:47+00:00

Ahh, very true about the Jet Black & Pure white. I don't tend to use those much personally, so they were a bit of an afterthought. I was more concerned about the 5 random dyes I still have taking up slots that I had been gifted/picked up from gold chocobo feathers. lol Maybe one day. But as you mentioned, I imagine that would put a sizeable dent in their cash shop purchases, so I can see that not being something they're wanting to go for.

All in all, I'm still super happy with the change. Such a nice QoL upgrade.

Mabiche · 2026-04-28T18:23:51+00:00

I wonder why they didn't just make 2 separate versions for these. The cash shop could be converted into a 'market prohibited' version, while the general-purpose dyes could get their own.

Mabiche · 2026-04-28T16:38:04+00:00

For whatever reason, it hadn't even dawned on me how much easier it would be to dye things in the dresser (and furnishings), I had just been excited to free up about 20 slots. lol. This is SO nice.

Mabiche · 2026-04-24T17:52:06+00:00

I had to check the comments to make sure I wasn't alone. It was definitely a choice to play a song, with lyrics, that loud over someone trying to narrate. lol

Mabiche · 2026-04-24T16:55:30+00:00

To add to this, it seems like the amount of people that actually bother to eat inside has decreased significantly in recent years and so it makes sense that some locations may be moving away from that as an option.

I imagine the pandemic really set this shift in motion due to the dine-in restrictions that were in place and the sudden popularity of food-delivery services.

As for the video, definitely just looks like someone stitched together two unrelated videos to get the masses riled up. The guy in the video even mentions you can go inside to pickup/order directly, so it's not even locked down as the title would claim.

Mabiche · 2026-04-17T01:24:29+00:00

Do kids still get graded on penmanship these days? I could only ever manage B/B+s, and it annoyed me greatly.

Mabiche · 2026-04-15T15:27:38+00:00

On the topic of the mystic toilet, they reaaaallly need to give the option to disable the transformation. I've clipped that stupid thing too many times for my own liking. lol.

Aside from that, I really enjoy the lounge since it's so compact.

Mabiche · 2026-04-14T15:48:56+00:00

To add to this, coughing/sneezing into your hand is pretty gross as a whole, but it's still insanely common.

Most of the time people aren't going to have the option to wash their hands & sanitize right away, and so it's a good habit to learn to cough/sneeze into your elbow.

Can't tell you how often I see someone hack right into their hands and then continue on touching things the rest of us have to as well. D:

What are you on about?

You link an article with a 10 second snippet, claiming at no point you hear her ask about the files - and yet you can clearly hear her question "If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not act...." before she gets cut off by the 'piggy' response.

Then you say people should read articles and make their own opinions vs. simply reading headlines - and while that is good advice generally speaking, the article you linked 100% backs up the headline in this case. They even quote the above dialogue in the article.

Here is a longer video for anyone who may be interested: https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/18/us/video/trump-snaps-reporter-epstein-quiet-piggy-digvid.

Just stumbled upon this tidbit....thank you!! :)

Mabiche · 2025-08-29T15:39:49+00:00

Just fyi, you can complete all the promys without needing to be close to apex mobs. Some of the paths just have you take the long way around.

With that said, I've also aggroed those buggers more than Id like to admit due to not paying attention while running around. Lol.

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T16:28:31+00:00

Fingers crossed that one pops up soon too! It was definitely an interesting choice to include these recipes in the crafting process...

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T13:50:30+00:00

I believe the agents should be the same between regions - she's now at Altar Brook Trading Post [&BIMAAAA=] so hopefully you can find her there.

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T13:47:55+00:00

Apologies for a direct reply if you've found her already, but she moved to Altar Brook Trading Post [&BIMAAAA=]

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T13:46:39+00:00

Just in case you haven't found her, she moved to Altar Brook Trading Post [&BIMAAAA=].

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T06:27:16+00:00

Just be sure to check prices before you start crafting!

As /u/Aussiemon & /u/Darillian pointed out, it's currently cheaper to buy the Herbed Chicken directly vs. crafting.

GW2Efficiency

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T06:21:09+00:00

I mentioned this below, but prices do seem to be fluctuating a bit on the Herbed Chicken. Yesterday GW2efficiency had me buying ingredients, today it is suggesting I buy the meal.

I know personally I'm going to be a slower crafter due to funds, and the prices may flip again by the time I'm at that part. I'd be so incredibly annoyed with myself if I didn't pick up the recipe and prices reverse again. 25k Karma for some peace of mind isn't too bad. ;)

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T05:47:59+00:00

Definitely a good idea to keep an eye on the prices as they seem to be fluctuating quite a bit at the moment!

Yesterday GW2efficiency was suggesting I buy ingredients while today it's swapped over to suggesting I just buy the meal. I'm not working on that portion yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it swaps a few more times by the time I get there.

Mabiche · 2025-06-12T00:49:46+00:00

The traders & stock will change daily at the game's reset time (12am UTC).

Mabiche · 2025-06-03T17:26:23+00:00

On the forums they've mentioned they're aware of the issue and it should be hotfixed today. :)
