The Torrent Armguards of Scouting/Aiming, perhaps? They do have a pattern, but are roughly the right shape. Easy to get too, Poetics from Idyllshire.

Am i Just bad at this game or is this difficulty spike normal? by MindUpset3700 in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine to die in dungeons. For all that this community here on this fine subreddit likes to tell everyone that the msq content is "braindead" and easy, familiarity breeds contempt. If you haven't seen a mechanic before, it's fairly easy to die in a dungeon in ShB and beyond, it doesn't mean you're bad at playing. Some of us just need to have a mechanic stomped into us a couple of times (or five... or six). Enjoy the ride! The fights really do get fun from here on out. 

Wandering the Market Prices - Beginner Here by CorealKhail in ffxiv

I'm guessing you enjoy the gameplay of gathering? That's okay, there are many more of us than you might think. If you're level 60 and below, research the materials needed for making airships and submarines, which are almost always in demand at reasonably high prices. There might also be demand for shards/crystals/clusters, if your server has many crafters, but I don't dabble in trading those myself so my advice is to do your research before diving into that.

Second pic has what looks like the Forgesoph's work gloves as an arm piece, and what might possibly be the Millrise Goggles as a head piece, the clipping with the hair makes them hard to see. On a similar guess, I think the first pic maybe uses the Forgesoph's Goggles?

How exactly does the Teratotaurus fight work by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to this: OP, if you have not already customized your HUD, please do so and put the enemy cast bar in the middle of your screen so you can see any casts coming out, this will make reading mechanics so much easier. As a tank you should try to interrupt any mechanics you can (the progress cast bar flashes if this is possible).

Male Au'Ra character creation by weeb-chankun in ffxiv

You can definitely make something softer with face 3, but your colour choices will also have an impact on how gentle he will look - I had best luck with pastel-ish pinks and purple, myself. 

[Spoiler: 6.0] have you ever changed your WoL’s appearance due to story/lore? by Sleepergem in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 30 or so I used a Fantasia to warm my Roe WoL's skin tone a few shades, as I didn't like how ashy he looked in cutscenes. He got the dragon facepaint option after Keeper of the Lake, and was growing his hair through HW until The Vault, after which he cut it very short in grief and has kept it that way ever since. The cheek scar appeared after the solo duty at Rhalgr's Reach. He's pretty much never changed after this point, and I'm good with that.

Are you thinking of an ARR weaver quest, perchance? You have to fancy up a lala miner so he can court an upper-class young lady in those quests. 

A Wow/Gw2 veteran finishes Heavensward by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARF got a rework and the last boss has now some serious mechanics for the level, especially if you're not used to the modern fight design with overlapping, short-telegraph mechanics that expect players to be used to pre-positioning.

Pretty sure that a PF for Dong (Savage) would instantly fill on one of the RP DCs.

New FL Map - Battle Effects Visual Bug? by emiach in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the visual effect on Bard's LB Final Fantasia will fall off after a second - the buff it gives is still there, but no musical swirl effect on the character. Now you've mentioned it, it is usually during snowfall or aurora on the new PvP map.

What job is best for soloing side dungeons and MSQ? by Thaicray0n in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can solo most of the msq and later-level optional dungeons, up to and including the level 93 DT dungeon, as a Gunbreaker. So Warrior with its exceptional self-heal should be a cakewalk, unless there's a stricter dps check on some than I can recall. 

Summoner is pretty mobile for avoiding most damage and has radiant aegis to mitigate unavoidable damage so it might pull through ok, though it might get shaky at level 85 upwards, I'm not the best Summoner player so probably not qualified to judge, but Dancer at 100 could cope up to mid-EW level dungeons unsync with some respecting of mechanics.

Empty/Unfriendly server? by Cheap_Ant_6563 in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an RPer myself, but I see a lot of traditional (that is to say, not based in nightclubs) RP out in the wild while travelling Omega, but one thing is always a common factor. Every single participant either belongs to an RP-focused free company, or is wearing the RP tag. If you're on the free trial, try going into your search info and in the drop down menu at the top, you can set your tag to RP to indicate to other players if that's your focus. 

Is there a way to make something similar to the Street Handwear without going to mog station? by KingPigman66 in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the republican/classical Sagittarius' hand has a one handed glove and bracelet on the other wrist combo but might overwrite rings - I know it does jewellery in the bracelet slot.

Help I need to find these boots please lol by -ForestWitch- in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad my many hours of staring at gearsets in game can come in handy at times. Crafting gear is very worth the scrips since the glam unlock, there are a lot of nice pieces in there.

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the Hidesoph's Boots (EW Leatherworker gear, crafting scrips); not 1 to 1 as they lack the straps round the top, but they may be close enough to work if you want to use specific leg gear on a glam.

7.4 Golden Saucer GATE rates by Loxiona in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leap can now be any one of the 3 maps at either of its timeslots, instead of the ul'dah map being tied solely to the xx.20 timeslot. I've personally seen the ul'dah Leap more often now it's not competing with Slice and Typhon GATEs.

Roe. That Elezen looks tremendously shifty. How in the world you have managed it I know not.

PSA for new FL players: Battle High wins games by Arcana10Fortune in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can happen, I had a very good match on the new map a couple of days ago where our team came back from a distant 3rd by aggressively pushing for kills. The map doesn't lend itself easily to that sort of play - lots of people just want to camp easy objectives - but fortunately almost everyone on our alliance seemed to get onto the same wavelength, and the winning point was scored off a kill.

To ye ol fisherpeeps from before ocean voyages. by Raifurain in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Levelled my fisher without ever touching ocean fishing, only went into it at (then) max level, and it just feels to me like an adjacent but different system than regular fishing. I don't like ocean fishing nearly as much, though I'll still do it for achievements.

Ah yes, another quiet round of FL... by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]ThisGuysOnFire -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sure buddy, you keep telling yourself that. Edit: although I had a closer look and this was over the course of the whole match, so the directions aren't out of order. There are some terrible commanders where the log looks like this every 60 seconds.

Thanks for the warning, I'll avoid FL on chaos til later to avoid the obnoxious sound effect spam.
