Get more and pentameld it onto Eikonic gear and see if you can solo Ramuh EX.This makes 3 elemental V materia through ventures now.
Just kill me.
FOR SCIENCE!
Why you complaining, thats better than getting fish or some shit. Two more and you gamble, unless you want to now.
My FC's dedicated all 3 of our airships to finding the island it comes from and RNG keeps refusing to let us discover it.
Why can't I sell items if I glamour them? Surely they could do a script or something that removes all glamours of the item you're wanting to sell >.>
lmao

SSS is addictive, might be my favorite part of 3.2.
Much needed nerfs to SMN. It's rather annoying that they could just insta-burst you from afar and run without having to expose themselves. MCH and BRD at least have a ranged damage penalty, and BLMs have to stay in place. I've come to hate SMNs in PVP because of that burst and I will one ilm punch them the entire match just to rob them of their dreadwyrm trance.
Now that sucks. If you guys find the island do you know if the drop rate is good?
I'm not even sure if my FC would notify us if they found it because i don't know how airships with us work but that's more my fault because I took a break from the game and came back and haven't really spoken to the FC much xD
I don't know what the drop rate's like but it's probably not very good, although there's actually a decent amount of Zus I've seen around on Ultros. Depending on how many stops you make them take per voyage the time for them to come back can be pretty long too, so that's a factor.
In my experience the drop rate is fairly low. I've only found one so far. Sending four ships to that sector alone gets pretty good throughput so the market might get flooded with them eventually.
The Heavy Medal change is kind of rough since I feel like I have to play safer much earlier, though I guess it's balanced out with shorter match times.

The Feast makes me hate human players far greater than any PvE content can or ever will. Getting the whm who always says you LOS'd them is the reason you didn't get any heals (even though both of you are literally on the same bridge section) makes me want to go healer just to not get them on my team, but that opens up the chance of getting the MNK who forgot 5 seconds in that we agreed to stun lock and kill the Healer.

My FC has 2 airships (that aren't geared that well) dedicated to getting the mount tokens, and we've gotten about roughly 1 iron voyage spoil a week.
Minfilia being the worst. Even in joke trailers!

Same with us, I think. Maybe a little more common.
Haha.
I was just thinking that as I was watching. Bloody Minfilia. Do something useful for once instead of standing around!
Call out buffs in your pull macro? Why?
Aw man it took me forever to make one too.
It's alright. I just made one like two weeks ago
Just what happens when you raid with voice chat 99% of the time
So my Ninja can open with Suiton and Trick Attack while under Huton and my Monk can open in Coeurl Form with Demolish into Perfect Balance.
Yep, pretty much exactly why I didn't have one until now.
I prefer macros to generally call out seconds to pull, since the respective jobs should know how many seconds of prep time they need (I have three to five seconds of crap to hit before pull; I don't need anybody to tell me to hit specific skills since it changes depending on CDs, just let me know you're pulling in five seconds.)
I will admit preferring to have the NIN run the macro since it's their timer that generally determines when we pull. Otherwise it tends to be the NIN telling the tank to start the macro, or eternity long macros to give NIN prep time. NIN does NIN things after 8/8 ready check, hits macro at appropriate time, it gives 10 second warning, it counts down from 5 to 1.
That how I usually do things when I run my NIN, I wait for the ready check and then Huton, but sometimes the tank himself either hits the macro preemptively or way late. I don't know the openers for other classes besides those two, so wasn't sure if it helps to point those out or not.
This is what I prefer as well, but then who cares, our MCH always body pulls before it reaches 0 anyway.
Is that something that I as a tank should be pointing out to them? I know absolutely nothing about Ninjas, to be honest. For trials and raids and stuff, I have a 15 second macro with notifications at 15, 10, and then 5-1 seconds. Is that not enough? o:
Make it 20 seconds. Mudra are on a 20 second cool down so they can cast it and be ready to cast again during the pull.

To be fair, the top 2 reasons in Feast you don't get a heal from me when you need it is either you're out of range (usually a tank is guilty of this) or I picked a nice spot with lots of direct lines/lanes and you somehow are constantly managing to LoS, even when I move around to try to re-establish a line to you. Though if you are both in an open area, that shouldn't be happening.
I mean... I agree with iammeiam, you really shouldn't have to play your other teammates' classes for them. My group has a regular pull macro that they just time with regular huton pre-cast of the ninja once everyone's ready. There's no real need, I feel, to micromanage other peoples' classes. If you group likes/wants it then that's fine I suppose.
That is a very fair statement.
Pull macros are just better overall. Have to pre-cast my fire I.
Minimum of ~10s for most pre-pull routines anyway. Huton really just changes the countdown announce to be on the Ninja, not the tank (though if MTing, I'll Infuriate on Huton use). Want the ~5s buffer over most routines so people get ready for it and then 5s for actual pre-pull things.
ok ok ok what do i do for the pull again?
My group used to have me verbally count down after a ready check.
You know what happens during verbal ready checks.
FIVE FOUR THREE TW-HOLY SHIT STOP STOP STOOOOOOOOOOOO ON-FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Then the ninja's like HUTON'S TICKIN BOIS
BLM/SMN is like I ALREADY CAST IT'S TOO LATE
BRD/MCH and MNK/DRG are like MY FUCKING CEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
And as the tank I'm the bad guy in the end because I couldn't stop it
So I'm okay with pull macros because there are no brakes once it starts.
Trains out of the station and we're taking the enemy to pound town with or without your fucking help.

We should just agree that if someone body pulls we should wipe and restart. Don't make me do my ritual after the battle starts.
Ugh I keep getting a lobby server error.
That's actually not too bad. How does your FC handle the rewards? Do leaders take them first?

Drop rate is good on it. The loot table on the island is small enough that it's pretty common to get the zu item. I think we're doing about 11 trips a week and getting 3 Zu's out of them. We're also trying to get other stuff though, if you optimize all 4 ships just to go after Zu's I think you could hit 20 trips per week.
I'm not losing sharpcast just because someone was too late on something, once that macro says 5 seconds left, there is no stopping this train.
But my cooldowns...
On a mildly related note, I made my static rather uncomfortable by referring Sephirot's slams in his final phase as Pound Town.
You have to learn somehow, and booping you on the nose with a rolled up newspaper clearly isn't working.
