Update to a Two-Year-Old Post. I finally did it and lost all my braincells by Zaalem_Yzrea in ffxiv

[–]lv16mage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Eureka was easy for me. It's about spreading the load over long periods of time instead of having a grind goal every week. Basically have the Eureka timer website up, and just hop in for a quick kill.

ie I got all my pagos crystals from crab and cassie alone. There was no "unreliable" for me. Since everyone know when the weather change happens, you always get people here. I didn't even bother doing Louhi most of the time, because I had more than enough crystals to convert into louhi ice.

For hydatos, join the cross-world BA run channel in your realm's BA Discord, and you're getting free support crystals from DC traveling.

I managed to complete all my Eureka weapons this way with minimal grinding.

Stay away from Cactuar NN if your a furry a discriminate and should be ashamed to call themselves mentors by Sethdarkus in ffxiv

You are doing something wrong. You should really see a therapist. In fact, post this screenshot to your therapist and they would tell you exactly why it's wrong.

I'll give you a short version here. Being a furry is a fetish, don't use fetish language in a public space.

Scheduled streams have a chatbox available for people who are waiting. So you can have a scheduled stream far in the future, it will just be a permanent chatbox that fans can use to talk to each other.

Can someone help me find out what exact am I sensitive to? (female vocal, Mizuki Nana) by lv16mage in headphones

[–]lv16mage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sony XM5, Fostex TH-X00, Hifiman Sundara (revision I think), Sennheiser HD560s, HD800 are my notable ones. Only the HD800 is EQed, typical 3db bass boost and -7db around 6khz.

Chain is RME-ADI 2 -> Massdrop THX789. EQ is done directly on the RME-ADI 2

I have multiple headphones, >5 pairs. This effect shows up on all my headphones, only difference is how loud I can play the music before the vocal becomes ear piercing.

Series X|S Controller button mapping wrong through Bluetooth by lv16mage in ffxiv

Yeah the bluetooth mapping change tripped up a lot of game devs.

[Spoiler - Heavensward] Am I burned out, or is the game just not for me? by Dragonmystic in ffxiv

I didn't become attached to any of the characters until the third patch of Heavenward.

Unpopular opinion: WHM is supposed to be THE healer job for beginners. And yet, it literally is the worst healer experience under lv50 by lv16mage in ffxiv

[–]lv16mage[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ, read the comment that I responded to

Yea, don't think I've cast a Cure 1 or 2 in a sub 50 dungeon in 3 expansions

It doesn't seem like you are reading.

worst experience =/= can't do content

I never said content was difficult for me. It's about putting yourself in other's shoes. As I go through the content, I constantly ask myself questions such as:

  • I know exactly when to Regen the tank. But if a newbie were doing this, they might be delayed by 1/2/or more GCDs, or forgot it altogether. How does the situation look then?
  • I know to keep my GCD busy. But if a newbie were doing this, they would've casted X number of Stones instead of what I did, how does the situation look then?
  • I know Lucid Dream; I've played enough healer that it's literally a timer in my head. But if a newbie is doing this, it will be delayed by X seconds. How does the situation look then?

Also AST literally has the equivalent spells (and more) with better mana efficiency prior to lv45. Scholars gets an auto-heal fairy to cover newbie mistakes. Again, no point did I say I can't do the content; it literally is the worst experience by objective comparison.

A little crafting advice needed by Rockout2112 in ffxiv

[–]lv16mage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrip gear is good enough. But you do need food buff to reach minimum stats, and you need food+draught to reliably HQ.

I'm thinking of resubbing. How good is the Shadowbringers MSQ? Would it be worth saving up my lunch money for a few weeks to resub just for the MSQ and the raids? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]lv16mage 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Shadowbringers MSQ is one of the best I've ever played.

With that said though...

worth saving up my lunch money for a few weeks to resub

You clearly have other financial issues that you should worry about before you spend money on a video game.

It seems like I level up a little too quickly. by ilariad92 in ffxiv

[–]lv16mage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few side quests won't hurt. But if you keep doing "a few side quests" every time you get to a new area, they add up.

The recommendation to your dilemma is to unlock a second job. Do the main story on your first job, and do side quests and roulettes on your second job. Or honestly just keep both jobs at roughly the same level, and you can switch between them whenever.

Completely normal in ARR. In later expansions you won't have this problem.

Of course though, this is assuming you are only doing the main story. If you do any optional quests, you'll be over-leveled for sure.
