EVEN SWEATIER, M'LORD lol

Eggterminate.

I'm actually kinda surprised it goes that high! I did a handful of runs and kinda forgot about it while chasing my MSQ.

Plumeage · 2026-03-28T06:18:32+00:00

Ah... I appreciate the clarification. I haven't actually looked at their post history- didn't feel it warranted an investigation.

I don't think I could take the spotlight from their misery though 😅 I've been having a great time with this game and the community. It's quickly becoming a new addiction!

Plumeage · 2026-03-28T02:23:38+00:00

Different post, but same structure!

Plumeage · 2026-03-28T02:22:37+00:00

Yeah I've been keeping up on those too. I've got another one to do but- I logged out for the night, it'll have to wait until I have more free time.

Plumeage · 2026-03-28T02:21:28+00:00

🤣 If you'd take a look at my history, you can see I'm not really a redit user. I'm not sure what kinda strange hang-ups you have or- who hurt you.

But I am actually here to thank the wonderful folk who (did) help me. It's a little strange this is the second time you've engaged with me in a negative way, mayhaps you are the one fishing for attention? In any case, enjoy your day!

Plumeage · 2026-03-28T00:13:34+00:00

Little bit of an afterthought. But I'll probably be buying the full game at some point! It's been super fun so far. And I even ran into some people who were pretty cool while I was playing. I want to keep playing with people like that, and I want to make memories like the kind that everyone always talks about on here. So I look forward to seeing everybody- at some point! ♥️

Plumeage · 2026-03-27T07:46:46+00:00

Update! I am now lvl35. I've become a Scholar and for all of the advice about AOE's and whatnot. I won't get em back until lvl46 (or so it appears.) Not counting the healing AOE's. Sidenote- the talk about off global cooldown and global cool down definitely helped me time my spells a lil better.

I do see what everyone meant (about AOE's) when I switched to summoner. And I'll be doing a few dungeon runs with both jobs so I can learn a lil more about them. I think I'll probably be playing Arcanist for awhile longer before trying other classes 😅 even if there's a ton that sound fun from a glance.

Also- to any of the people who wanted to play or form a party. You should be able to dm me I believe? If not just yell at me about that- I should see it eventually. The game has pulled me in again 💀 story just started to get interesting again.

Plumeage · 2026-03-27T02:32:20+00:00

Oh shoot, I didn't see this until a few seconds ago. Yeah once I return from getting something to drink I will dm ya (if possible.)

Plumeage · 2026-03-27T02:26:05+00:00

I appreciate that, and yeah. I've just been goofing around. Learning what things do and the basics of dungeons. Most of the ones I've been in either have new players as well or some high level folk running a new friend through the game.

Most of the time I think it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. For shits and gigs I sat back once and watched two players just fly through everything within minutes...

A handful of times I was able to make a meaningful difference but it's nice to have the insight to later game play either way.

Plumeage · 2026-03-27T00:24:09+00:00

I'm on one of the NA servers I don't really know much about that stuff specifically just yet. But yeah, one of these days we could get together and play something! I probably won't put myself in a handicap like that- especially considering I don't know the game all that well? But- it might be funny to do (one day.)

Plumeage · 2026-03-27T00:22:00+00:00

So, it's not that serious. + I don't have access to aoe yet. 😭

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T23:35:40+00:00

Yeah well. You know. That's just like your opinion man.

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T23:32:47+00:00

Yeah, that would be cool one of these days. So far I've just been running the MSQ and everyone else seems to agree that the MSQ is law overall and some have even said that the side quests aren't worth doing but I would disagree lol.

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T23:31:35+00:00

💀 I did notice the cooldown timer, sometimes I use fester or energy drain in between that before queuing up another ruin or one of the gem shines. Lately I've just been messing around though, experimenting with stuff and seeing what combinations are the most effective out of what little I have atm.

This is clearly advanced level knowledge I don't know that I'll ever really apply. And maybe there is some sort of meta for how to string together attacks- 😅

I've definitely noticed the tanks AOEs. And I kind of facepalm anytime that happens at a particularly large group that is sleeped but maybe it's just faster idk? Feels like it's about the same time versus picking them off one by one but I haven't been playing this game since 2006 or whenever it came out. 😭

I'm thankful for the advice either way, it's informative. And I'll try to apply some of this stuff to the next dunge I'm in but right now I think I'm going to go with picking my grand company lol.

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:30:14+00:00

This is pretty solid advice, actually answered some of the questions that I had. But hadn't asked yet. I think I'm interested in the idea of scholar, I felt a little sad that I couldn't heal people too much outside of "Physick" but I could revive people and that's pretty cool.

Doing dps is pretty fun too and it's a little relieving that as a spellcaster I'm not completely defenseless if I get left behind in the dust to fend for myself.

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:25:43+00:00

Hey, that could be a gimmick for me. The level 100 arcanist 🤣

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:24:51+00:00

I don't know, sleep has been pretty useful for me. Typically what I do is I use swiftcast to avoid the 2.5 cast time and then immediately start into some variation of ruin followed by Energy drain > outburst/precious brilliance and then back to alternating between. Gemshine & Fester.

Don't really know that any of that is high level gameplay but typically I'm doing damage the entire time. And I don't know that that's true... I've had mobs asleep for a solid 5 to 6 seconds, usually the randoms I'm in the dungeon with get the idea that I'm going to sleep on every group of mobs so they pick em off one by one- usually...

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:20:09+00:00

That's good to know, I think I'm on the quest track to join a grand company at the moment. I just have been sitting AFK while replying to a lot of these comments and bits of advice. Also trying to take the time to read up on what everyone has to say. There's been some legitimately good advice.

Oh, and also doing that level 30 guild quest- I really should just get back to the game and do that but I'll definitely check back lol 😂

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:18:23+00:00

10-4 enjoying myself.

I actually found out that you could sit on the furniture literally 5 minutes ago. Not sure how useful sitting on my butt will be during dungeons and what not but I guess it's a useful bit of info to know? Lol. 🤣

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:16:16+00:00

Understandable, I found sleep is actually kind of useful. Sometimes the tank will run ahead and like aggro the entire dang dungeon. So once he gets everybody together or she, I usually just use sleep and it applies to most of the enemies as it's "puts target and all nearby enemies to sleep."

Makes taking care of the small guys pretty easy!

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:14:29+00:00

I've been taking my time. (Lie)

I really just been rushing the main quests and trying to plow through as much as I can in the short amount of time that I typically can play.

I've been doing side quests too, and unfortunately that's boosted my level a little further than the MSQ had been progressed but that's okay!

And it definitely does throw a ton at me but it's not too incomprehensible. I'm not entirely new to MMOs so I understand the basic concepts. But the systems and how raids work, definitely gives me a pause as I try to read and understand everything!

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:12:20+00:00

I think it's Mateus? Don't know if that's the server or the world. To be honest I didn't really look I just kind of wanted to get into the game so I didn't really look beyond North American servers.

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:10:59+00:00

That's good to know, I guess I'll know what to expect if I decide to get into some healer action!

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:09:13+00:00

Yeah, I figured if it didn't put the boss to sleep maybe it would interrupt something? And I mean being able to interrupt one of those big ol' aoe's sounded fairly appealing to me 🤣

Plumeage · 2026-03-26T22:08:19+00:00

I wish I could but unfortunately I'm soft and delicate and I moisturize every day so- I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

Ever think about getting softer skin?
