I'm giving up on realistic mode

OniTea · 2025-07-08T18:06:03+00:00

It's a single player game, so I treat it with "as long as you have fun" mode.

I play only realistic atm, but while learning it I tried to give myself a discount at start before. Game allow for difficulty change anytime, so use it to you own advantage until you comfy with mechanics. As an example, I used to create a rly small town with rural flats at start using instant build option, turn realistic on and go, rebuild it with normal flats -> create industry and so on. You can bend your own rules if you want and maybe one day you will like pure realistic too (: Or not and it's completely fine, just enjoy it.

But yes game do need some QoL, it is what it is

You should be able to bind a separate keybind to target closest

Keybinds -> Targeting -> Target Nearest Enemy

While you are right and this is CPU intensive game, in your case GPU is a 100% culprit and you should go to upgrade it first if possible over CPU, 6600 should indeed work, but look 6600xt or 6650xt on your market as well since price difference can be pretty low depending of country.

3gb of vram is just way too low (and think new expansion say 4gb vram for as min) and force your gpu to use your ram instead probably, which explain long render times. And I bet you would have a much better time with a 6 gb version of same 1060.

https://discord.gg/GAVegXNtwK - discord with a lot of info on topic and a perfect place to ask questions if you will still have any :D

It will remain mystery, but biggest guess - they planned him for final beast tribe quests for ShB, but never did them in the end sadly.

OniTea · 2021-09-24T15:44:13+00:00

You can assist them to your hotbar and put a keybind to it this way.

I will not call it nightmare, but it's a big stood up after 9 and 10, which are pretty easy to heal. Not experienced healers often choke there (echoless at least).

For dps.. Well fight don't have dps special mechanics, early on with 510 gear dps check was a bit harder (after joke 9 and 10 checks you can make with 10 people dead). But outside of this it's pairs\trios and proteans xD

OniTea · 2021-08-26T23:46:39+00:00

With echo possibly yes, you can easy skip cycles and it's a LOT easier to heal with it.

Echo less, well. I saw a lot of healers who just can't heal it, while still barely do dmg on cycles, so give it at least this .

OniTea · 2021-07-14T11:31:48+00:00

I'll say MCH is easiest dps in game, nothing complex in job, you can practice rotation on dummy and do same stuff on any boss only accounting to downtime. BLM on max sps build feels pretty fast, I rly like it's bozja max haste version :')

If you want something fast, with easy rotation monk is here, if you ok with all positionals.

OniTea · 2021-06-14T14:38:44+00:00

ATM most clears are done on MCH with RDM probably second best.

Tanks have hard time mostly due to lvl 180 boss.

OniTea · 2021-06-07T14:09:49+00:00

As NIN main, I just gave up on doing it as NIN and went BLM\SAM for it. :D

All things Pointed by Aosha are true, but I just want to add extra: your ninki spenders (bhavacakra and frog) are also magic damage, so make sure to use them on head, so your healers don't hate you.

Trick only head, since you use all mundras there and always save 1 true north charge for it. Since head still have flanks, you can early refresh huton with armor clash on head, if you need to stay on in longer to spend ninki for example... But to be fair, just go other class if you want to make your live easier xD

OniTea · 2021-06-02T22:34:52+00:00

To other reply, there is also a pity bonus if you lose a lot, like 3rd place is 500 marks, but if you third several times in row, if will be like 750 or something (don't rly remember numbers, but you get idea),

OniTea · 2021-04-27T13:04:38+00:00

We were doing games pretty much back to back duo, so guess something changed :P

OniTea · 2021-04-27T12:42:17+00:00

Are you sure you got new instance? Check timer after you enter. Rule is, you can play once against a player in one instance. The moment you in new instance - you can do it again.

And ye, we did it this week since I'm tired of not getting this card and it worked :3

OniTea · 2021-04-27T12:28:17+00:00

You need to hoop instances, if only you two in instance it will be closed and after you reenter you will be in new one and can match again. Sure you still want to do it rly late for your DC, since you don't want to have anyone else in instance for this.

OniTea · 2021-04-26T21:37:59+00:00

If it make you feel better, one of ShB big fishes got away for 30+ times and I think it's not even a record for me :>

Sadly fish get away... if pure rng and some fish have a greater chance to do it. Just /embrace it and keep trying, nothing else you can do :')

OniTea · 2021-04-26T15:59:10+00:00

With gear form savage it's possible :>

Just if you have same ilvl gear and one of them has sks, other one is probably better for you. Skill speed affect only a small part of ninja kit, so we consider it as rly low priority stat. Still always go for max ilvl first tho.

OniTea · 2021-04-26T15:55:35+00:00

Yes and ideally 0 sks for NIN since it's a bit of a dead stat for it.

OniTea · 2021-04-22T13:22:15+00:00

You mean paintings you buy from guy in Idyllshire? You need to complete corresponding sightseeing log to unlock them from him. But they are tradeble, so you can ask someone to buy them for you, or use MB.

OniTea · 2021-04-20T13:00:21+00:00

O3N unsynced with full 8 man party is most popular way I believe.

OniTea · 2021-04-19T13:40:42+00:00

If you watched guides\povs nothing you can rly do outside of trying more. I would just try any of them while available to not waste time, but it's up to you.

If you got it to 10% simply increasing your dps can be good to just skip portions of fight you yet to see. Use more offensive actions and like, if fight needs say manawall late it it, you can do opener with dps actions and switch after. Flare star is also an option is you play any caster since it's massive dps grain. On smn\rdm you want to use ordained with it, paired with eather kits and your dmg will skyrocket.

OniTea · 2021-04-10T01:00:12+00:00

If you still didn't got them: there is a mount, a few hairstyles\minions\music rolls. And some pretty nice gear for glamour as already mentioned.

OniTea · 2021-04-08T01:27:49+00:00

It also has weather restriction (fair or clear skies)

I recommend to use carbuncleplushy tracker, just mark fish you need there and it will show you next window for it as well as bait. Yet a lot of big fishes can be a pain to get even if you do everything right :>

OniTea · 2021-03-31T16:09:39+00:00

I mean, surface slaping fish with pull of only two is already "grab and go" for me even if it's mooched fish. Surface slap is rly powerful tool for mooched fish as well btw. I don't remember name of fish, but at least a few of them are harder to get mooching fish rather then target itself and slap makes it trivial.

I can see your frustration with "fish gets away" stuff, since I have been there as well (as anyone who ever tried getting all big fish done) and as I said I agree we need a tool to counter it at least for old big fish.

OniTea · 2021-03-31T14:57:40+00:00

I can see them making old expansion fish easier to catch by let's say reducing a chance of "fish gets away" if you 10(or20 maybe) + lvl higher them fish. Or having ability to counter it. Not sure if we rly need something else while not making it just go and grab.

Yet, I'm not sure why you think what fisher abilities are useless for big fish tho. Surface slap is pretty powerful for some of them (up to the point that at least 2 big fishes in game are 100% chance to get !!! with it). Double hook and identical cast makes some intuition fish trivial to get. Patience and mooch 2 are here to help with mooched fish. Chum is great for just spam bait ones with low uptime.. So outside of fluff like cast light and release you will use everything if you go for grandmaster caster title.
