I think it's like 3 quests, then nothing but trading. Also the quests just unlock the trading, so yea basically no questline.

Female Au Ra Bard. {Can I have it?}
I went last year. This year is your turn, buddy.
Are you trying to crystallize the biggest mistakes of Heavensward into one cosplay?
10/10 well done would recommend.
Man, I don't think I can handle glorious Nippon. Or it can't handle me. One of those.
Why are you still here!?
Transfixed by the horrific mental image of some girl made up like a dragon girl waifu toting a real-life recreation of the Berimbau monstrosity. And then whipping out another, separate harp to take play Ballad because this game is terrible.
Also work 2 boring.

Berimbau and hats are like the only reason to play BRD though!
The "let's sing high hymns Yoshi-P" narrative is pretty hilarious all things considered. They're so attentive, so pro-player! But making a TP bar display takes two years which should've been something fixed in beta of ARR. I mean, somebody in the design team thought that we'd really need to see the MP of the monk in the party. Or how sometimes their claims just go completely against what they're trying to do game design-wise (crafting?) or are able to do because of reasons (housing?).
According to reddit, not being able to control abilities of your class is what constitutes fun. Well, it's not. The problems with AST begin from the word go, it's a class that would benefit from taking it all the way back to the drawing board and coming up with better mechanics, and it's telling that impressions range from "It's okay that Draw is RNG because it's mostly flavor" to "Let's buff Draw real hard" from the same group of people. One suggestion I hear from time to time is that cards need to be buffed so that whatever you get benefit would be higher than normal, and it might sound sensible; but in reality it will lead to "AST didn't draw Ewer, we gotta wipe!" and standing in front of the boss for dozens of minutes until you finally draw the extended Balance combination for the openers. As long as RNG is what controls one of the main functions of the class (and it has five abilities dedicated just to the Draw mechanic) it will continue to feel feeble and unhelpful.
I'm not bitter, no. Maybe a little.
Welcome to Eorzea! The game usually takes its time to explain all the most important things to new players, so you should be fine as long as you read all the help messages
Are you still in your free 30 days? If yes, might I be able to interest you in a friend referal code? It gives you some useful goodies if you should decide to buy a sub in the future.
Yes, I should still be in my free 30 day's. I plan to get a sub from amazon when I'm get close to the end of my sub, and I'll take you up on that offer

Frumix letting out the frustrations of all we bullied ASTs. :')
I admit I do still hate the feeling of the ASTs, in 8 man content, being more of a EMT and tries to keep people alive until the doctor, SCH/WHM, does their thing.

Are you my mortal enemy. Should we fight.
As someone who pressed through turn 1-5 coils when it was server firsts era / prenerfish, the end game gear farm ideals from 2.0 are fine, in 3.0 however they tried to stretch everything from the old template out as much as they could. Originally it was the same, Philosophy and Myth tomes with exact same exchange rates to gear, 2 dungeons to farm them at the time, but knowing that, once you were farmed out in phil gear, you were pretty much near-raid capable, albeit only entry. In 3.0, you have to farm twice as hard for law gear, but then UPGRADE it, and still be sub sub par and need 75% alexander easy gear to savage. I have never been a fan of easy mode dungeons, and having to farm the simple mode of the same content just makes the farm stretch feel that much more drudging.

If you really really want to raid, you're gonna have to change servers most likely. Ultros is very east coast dominant and it's pretty tough finding raid groups if you're EU or don't play during primetime much. I speak from experience

aura girls are the 2nd best after highlander girls. Everything else is bottom tier

I have turrets. Their manasong is techno and TP song is synth pop.
Do you really want to challenge Lalafell Manderville, though? Really?

not as kawaii as you think
This is just lying. Where's the gif Red made? Lala /mdance is still the best thing this game has produced. It beats out Amon's Hat, even.
What if they made the Amon hat glow? Amon Hat Zenith?
BTW: is the Moonfire Faire housing item worth the trouble? So far the vanity gear isn't terribly appealing.

Could someone explain the changes made to relic weapons that people are going on about, or link me to details? I returned after a few months and am somewhat out of the loop. I never took my weapon past Zenith because I had a raid weapon and not enough time to waste grinding. Is there an easy way to catch it up now?
Also, will any of the old relic stuff be required for the new chapter in 3.1 or is that from scratch?
Sorry if this is commonly asked, it's hard to get up to speed after so long.

i sat in roulette with a tank yesterday night for 15 min. 2 dps slots were empty. it was terrifying.
They shortened each steps. So the you'll get atma from fates much faster (still RNG so it might still take some times), the book step take less time now I think (fate spawn rates have increased, and you need to kill less monsters), alex are a breeze (you get 5 per alex maps and the drop rate from fate has been greatly increased), light farming has been quadrupled (I think) since the original step, and so on... Still takes a while but it's much faster (and cheaper) than it was before.
I think it's been said that you get a slight advantage for the new relic if you completed your 2.0 relic but we don't really know more.
A stable boy? First, my character looks like 40 years old. Second, he looks like the Sultana Guards guarding somewhere in Ul'Dah. Get your facts right
Also, please, I saw your character fanning that Lalafell in Costa Del Sol.
Really enjoying playing as a Lala. People hug and pet you a lot, it's interesting. And the "Doze" animation while sitting is the best.
And when you get a people that dislikes lala on DF, you can just spam the "Happy" emote to keep screaming nonstop until they stop hating on you.
Unrelated complaint: Yesterday I ran into a Ninja that really thought he was Naruto. He kept running ALL THE TIME during the dungeons, circling the enemies while hitting them, and showing everyone how awesome his run animation is with his daggers out.
I also noticed that he didn't use Aeolian Edge at all. I think it's because it's a DPS loss when you're cosplaying Naruto and you're never behind the enemy to get the rear bonus. But I didn't even bother to ask why he was doing that...

Hey, it's alright, some people just don't get their life together when they are younger so they end up 40 years old and feeding the chocobos.
And no, Gegeruju can't afford my prices.
Is moving around like that a DPS loss as well? I saw someone doing that the other day and it annoyed me but I wasn't sure if it actually affected his damage.
It depends on how you're moving. If you're moving from flank to rear to get your bonus damage from correct positioning, you're doing your job correctly. If you move in circles for no reason, you're probably missing the positional bonus and losing a lot of damage. Even more if you just circle around the enemy without facing him, as you won't even auto-attack.
Ideally, you want to move as little as possible, and only between flank and rear. You just move around more when you need to dodge stuff or do specific mechanics.

If you keep facing the monsters and as long as you're in the right position when using skills with positional requirements(which ninjas have only a few of), then it doesn't really affect anything. If you're just running around throwing shurikens and a few attacks here and there though, it's extremely inefficient. Then again most ninjas I see leveling are completely awful and just do 1 2 3 with aeolian and spam Raiton if they use ninjutsus at all. Though this is really every class.
When did you race change to Lala
There are levels of acceptable in DF. I don't get bothered by people that are doing half of the expected DPS. But when you're a Ninja that's generating less aggro than the Astrologian that just stays there healing the tank, not even bothering to throw a damage dealing skill once in a while, I wonder what is wrong about you.
Most of the Sultana Guards are Hyur. They just protect a stupid Lala who should have stayed dead.
I wanna join the Imperials.

As a Lala I take offense to so many random strangers feeling the need to pet me.
I'll let you add the bolded together for your answer.
So I have this Madman's Whispering Rod that I use to glamour whatever WHM Rod I don't like and I noticed that now it has fungus, but prior to this it was blooming. I can't seem to find any thing online about this, so I was wondering if there are certain things that cause it to have different effects. Weather maybe?
Right now it's WAR >>> DRK > PLD
The damage output from DRK makes up for it's lack of physical defence cooldowns.
But it also depends on your healers.

Oh you mean a glamour that looks in place of the setting, class, and race
Come on bro, you need some sort of crazy hat. or at least something that isn't from 1.0.
