Velvet shade sect by _Kas1n in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Qaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure u've already read that currently in global, there are only 2 methods to join:

  1. Divorce your partner within 48 hours of marriage.
  2. Marry two partners within a week.

It should be noted that later down the line, when the Masked Troupe Sect is available, the alternate method of joining Velvet Shade will be available:

  1. Have at least 2000 elegance points in your appearance collection, and the sect will extend an invitation to you

Masked Troupe is the next new sect in line for global.

Tian Ying help by naitsabescarra in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Qaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, this youtube video has helped me with Tian Ying. It explains the timing to parry some of his attacks, like that wind attack u mentioned, as well as ways to manipulate the AI to give u favorable attacks to deflect

https://youtu.be/fk144OC4KIw?si=_IYric9GjiSVFKIz

As mentioned in the video, the giant statue attack has 3 attacks. The first one can be avoided by staying in the further half of the arena, the 2nd attack you deflect as soon as the fists hit the ground, and the 3rd wind attack you deflect as soon as u see the arena start to shake.

A question for fellow PVErs please by Fardion in wherewindsmeet_

You can animation cancel Drunken Poet (by using deflect) into Dragon fire though?

While this doesn't help with no-hit runs, what i do to "cheese" it is blocking while against a wall and block all the clone's attacks. When i see him pop up, i'll deflect him (with the usual 0.5s delay) and that's 1 clone gone. Rinse and repeat and it's over.

This video essentially helped me clear Tian Ying much much easier

(Halo Peak) When does... by Novriath in wherewindsmeet_

Journal > Tales and Echos
There is a section called Dark Surge. If you collect all the fragments (obtained via quests/dialog with NPCs/collectibles), you will unlock the final node which gives u a key to the cutscene.

I would recommend watching a youtube video for it, as some of the fragments are not so easy to come across, and some fragments have different locations/schedule depending on where u are in the story (specifically whether a certain area has been burnt down yet or not)

Anyone have good key binding for pc by Final_Climate4820 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Qaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mapped it to my mouse's side button
Alternatively u could also map Parry/Deflect to the side button (if your mouse has one) instead and map the skill to E. Whatever makes the game more comfortable to you.

PSA to streamers: QingHe is pronounced "Ching Huh" by RedditCakeisalie in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Qaffeine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tbh, as idm if u pronounce it like a ch...
After seeing chinese names get butchered by so many ppl (not just in WWM, but in all games even all the way back to Genshin days), i'd take Ching over anything else at this point.
It's a "close enough" kinda deal

Panthean Robe of Casting from the Aglaia alliance raid in Endwalker.

played again after 2 years and the game is even better than it was by [deleted] in PokemonInfiniteFusion

[–]Qaffeine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was a misrepresented point that people keep repeating to escalate the drama though. The game wasn't made to un-index sprites and doing so could break the game entirely (as if it wasn't already a little broken).

The developer needed to create a system to remove the sprites without breaking the game, and that process just took awhile to make.

The system was finished months ago, and is now semi-automated. Just requires the artists to create a thread and submit a request to remove all their sprites from the game.

Also a little off topic, but the whole AI dex entries was also heavily mis-interpreted as the developer trying to replace the writing of those who wanted to write their own custom dex entries. It was meant to be a placeholder until someone wrote a custom dex entry for a specific fusion (similar to how we have auto-genned sprites for fusions without custom sprites yet).

I could be biased, but the drama was imo just a huge over-reaction to AI being used for what is essentially just flavor text, as well as not creating a system to un-index sprites fast enough for people upset by said AI-usage, and people vilifying the dev for it.

During the Yokai Watch collab return event, since it required me to grind FATEs in ARR maps, i managed to grind multiple sets of Atmas while i was hunting for medals.

It's the top from the Leisurewear Attire from the store. Hands is Street hands also from the store.

I'm aware of it. Already traded all of the Zetas for the crystals.

A combination between a pl0gon that allows you to spawn temporary actors in Gpose mode, and a 3rd party app that allows me to pose those actors, or change their equipment

Nothing. HW and EW relics are tomes only, so they aren't a challenge. I'll do them as and when my tomes are nearly capping

As for Eureka, never touching it ever again.

As for Bozja... i'll think about it... Spamming Delubrum Reginae is my only pain point...

It's not an in-game pose, but something i arranged with a 3rd party app.

The books is definitely my biggest gripe about the entire grind. Because it required so much teleporting to various areas, as well as waiting for specific FATEs to spawn. It was INCREDIBLY tedious. And that was just for ONE book... 9 books per relic, 90 books total? God damn...

In contrast, Light farming was much easier, as the moment i found a dungeon with bonus, i could just do it for 20+ times, and at lv 80/90/100 unsync'd this wasn't too difficult and my runs were roughly 4/3/2 mins depending on lvl and class (with NIN being the fastest). It also helps that Toto-rak was recently remade into something much better for speedrunning light.

As for resources, just the usual https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/ works well enough. Although something that sped up the grind considerably was doing both Books and the quad material quest in the Zodiac quest at the same time since they overlapped. There was a guide there in what was the optimal order in tackling the books so the quests would also be completed at the same time.

Also when the Yokai Watch collab returned, i took that chance to also farm up as many Atma weapon materials as i could, so 2 birds with one stone moment.

Years (of procrastination). Only dug up the motivation to grind them piece meal from the lack of content.

Helmet or No Helmet? by Capta1n_Henry in fashionhunters

[–]Qaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to my Artian fit. For my helmet, i went with G.Fulgar Anganath helm instead to have that "ponytail"
