I know that feel.
Someone mentioned earlier about tanking positions for last boss in AK, thought I'd throw my two gil in. I tank him like so:
Never had any complaints. Plenty of room for everyone. I've tried doing it on other side of same statue, but I've had him bug into either the statue or the wall to his left twice so I don't bother.

i am. they will add some new rewards like money or crafting items and call it a day. the masses called for more rewards when they kill boring mobs, they didn't demand interesing gameplay. that's all what we'll get. but i still want them to add random spawn revenge minibosses for generic mobs. give them a chance to wipe the party hard and give them some extra penalty for wiping. that will keep them on their toes.
Yup, sell them to npc.

Why do you have RoH set to both L2 left dpad and R2 triangle?
Any NPC will do right and they have no other purpose right? Also where can i get drops of Gold coins since i finished all my quests now
Any npc is what I do. They only drop from dungeon chests.
I can do this. I pretty much accepted the fact that I will probably get Full Darklight before I even get one Primal weapon (hell, probably relic too). Might as well make good on that self-fulfilling prophecy.
I like to have my big powerful cooldowns on second bar, so no reason/nothing else to put there atm. The game put RoH there when I first unlocked PLD and it changed hotbar configuration, I just never changed that spot.
When I get Stoneskin I will probably put it there.

Edit: nvm
Well I got my password problem figured out, so now I am wondering if there is a guide for returning 1.0 players somewhere who are completely lost. I have every job at 50 and yet I have no idea how to play any of them anymore haha.
I have 17m left over from 1.0, is that still a lot of money? What do I do with all this cracked materia?

That is by far the most idiotic, stupid, piece of crap, dumb design ever. Did they even play test Odin before releasing it? Wow. It's like Dimps got ahold of Square Enix specifically for this boss and went ahead and collaborated with Backbone for server coding.

Or if you are dps you can do the fight completely reactionary without learning anything. Only things you really have to know is that the purple lines are the outer limits of landslide, and to never let yourself get boxed in by other players in case of weights.
I believe it was somewhere around $85 CDN for me.
Square-Enix loves you.
Check your hunting log again. I could've sworn some of the Imperials were level 50.
Ah it was 46 quid, thanks.
Basically:
AF2 Hat, Body, Gloves, Ring, Belt, Pants and Relic +1 are all best-in-slot items for Bard. Boots and Wrist from BC are better.
However, the individual DPS benefit from each item varies depending on its stats compare to Darklight.
Relic +1 is best-in-slot bow so you will want to get it eventually, however the biggest DPS upgrade comes from the AF2 pants and body. Those two items are less efficient DPS upgrades compared with gloves and ring, however, when considering their costs. You get "more for your myth" essentially with gloves/ring.
Since you eventually need to get all the BIS pieces above, there is nothing wrong with getting Relic +1 first, and yeah if you for example like the looks of something then by all means grab that first.
I would save hat for last and just never get the boots or ring because the BC hat is so close to AF2 that it'd be fine and not need to be replaced if you got it from a drop while still in he process of gearing. AF2 boots and wrists are pure garbage
Did you guys buy the Relic Weapon yet? (not the +1). I can buy either Breastplate or Relic Weapon next week, I have been unsuccessful getting the Ifrit weapon and only run Garuda once
So it wouldn't be worth going for Wyrms for the Crit?

Those big Magitek machines in the Imperial bases.
Found them, awesome.
Too bad you can't get an exp chain at 50 apparently.
Word of advice to anyone wanting to level chocobos then: try and do it before 50. At 50 Exp bonus items won't trickle down to your chocobo, rested exp doesn't apply and you can't get Exp chains to feed the chocobo even more exp either.
Edit: though being partied does give a bonus - though far less than the text claims.
Simple thing but, at the beginning when he shakes he ground you are staying inside the red circle right? It you are outside it you will fall. It's a bit counterintuitive because the game has been teaching you to always get out of red circles up to that point.
So for the members of GAF who have made it past Turn 3, what do you guys think about all the weird stuff that happens in there? 10 or so of the same enemy who don't attack, have tons of HP, and can follow you to the bottom parts of the map? You think there is something else to it? I've been reading into the secret boss theory, and though I'm not too sure its even possible there is so much weird stuff that goes on in there that I almost think it could be true..
that'd be crazy but i doubt it
Only the chest has crit when the allagan doesn't. otherwise it's going to be crit/skill speed vs crit / determination and the latter is always better. only the waist, chest and two accessories are best in slot for drg from the myth vendor for armor.
Gonna have to get the chest and +1 eventually so unless you're the min maxing type whatever.

I swear... some of the people I've run into with Duty Finder have been great.
Finally made it into Manor last night and I stated right off the bat that it was my first time running it. Tank was like... no problem. Explained each fight, gave me the heads up when to use limit, and even when we lost our healer right before the last boss, everyone was just chatting and being friendly while waiting for another one to que up.
Makes it a little nicer when all these dungeons end up being mandatory for story.
So yeah, Para Selene thank you again... where ever you cool peeps are.

It's good, but remember he will do landslide immediately after the bombs in P5, therefore standing in the center it's not advised for the first formation. Iirc I usually stay a tad left or right (depending on what bombs go off first) and after he landslides i move toward the center/first bomb exploded.

Saw a Tank doing it last time I did AK, honestly I don't find it an optimal position. The one posted a few pages ago is the best, It allows you to tank him without moving once.

Having just hit 50 I've been having the same experiences. My first CM run had another awesome tank that explained everything to me whether I neeeded to know it or not for the speedrun, my first Prea run went off without a hitch, and my first AK run same deal.
I was kinda worried afrter hearing a ton of people with bad experiences and I'm sure I'll run into some soon but so far my DF groups have been pretty phenomenal.

Clock, xmen, tictactoe.
pretty much. i imagine the negative experiences are shared more so than positive ones as with anything. one tank during copperbell literally did not take any of our suggestions or even respond to anything half the time. this resulted in me dying from trash mobs because he just stood there attacking one mob. next tank knew how to hold aggro, listened to advice, implemented it and it was easy going from there.
I've had some great experiences on DF as well. For example the other day my wife was doing Cape Westwind and one DPS left immediately and another died quickly. However through communication with the one DPS left they were able to take the boss down.
What annoys me about Duty Finder though is that since that person is from another server it's impossible to find them after the duty is over. In situations like that it would be cool to run all the end of story dungeons with someone you find randomly and click with but there's no way to do it. I wonder if Square could ever implement friends lists cross server or something.

It's not really counter intuitive. "Stay out of red"
do you like your drg? compared to brd?

Anything less than them adding a myth tome or two to trash groups in AK preemptively sucks really. The only other OK thing I could see them doing is better gil drops. I mean is there anything else "good" they could change? Philosophy Tomes are basically worthless as well given easy options like Castrum, so I'm not interested in those either.
yeah since some skills give debuff to defense of ccertain damage types
