Yes, shuffle is a complete crapshoot, only risk it if you have no lines to lose.

Yeeeep. Still might be worth it if the second line is good enough.
It's not cheap at all if that's what's holding you back. One of the better plushies I've bought. All the FFXIV ones are pretty high quality.
Yep, fun right?! I generally hit 7 stamps before I do anything. If I have a line by 7 stamps, I sit on it and pray to the lottery gods that my last two stamps fall nicely. If I don't have a line at 7 stamps then I will use my Second Chance points to shuffle until I hopefully get one line. So far, I've hit one line in the last three WTs (which are the only three WTs my newbie Au Ra has ever done).

Thank You!
I guess the AA being nonexistent, with the combination of moving around just looks really bad to me on this new PC.
Although I'm still not sure it looks quite as good as yours in still photos either.

Yeah I read about cutting polys from the butts but I didn't know that they cut them from other parts of the character models as well. I guess that explains why Elezen no longer have abs that beat 2.0 Highlander abs.
I just want something to put this extra PC juice towards. Better character/armor/clothing textures would be a start but like I said I'm not holding my breath.
I'll settle for a set of transformable tank armor.
You could possibly not have DX11 turned on, which is under config in the launcher itself.

Conjurer ended up meshing with me more and easier to maintain battles. I am really enjoying this game and the story.

There's probably less than zero chance of 3.55 allowing for Zurvan totem turn-ins for bird, isn't there?

Considering we're getting increased drop rates for Triad birds, I wouldn't hold my breath

They're going to increase Zurvan drop rate so soon? Well, that's one nice thing.

Stop GAFing hunts, GAF!
I need those seals more than you do and so does everyone else! D:

I think it is pretty silly Zurvan bird is getting a buff rate so soon. They didn't do this for Sophia when it was still relatively new. I guess it is an excuse to make the phoenix mount less rare.
forgot to post a pic of my alt warrior in training . yesterday .
Why are you posting random screenshots from a Star Ocean game?

So... for my blm. What the heck is BiS? The shire gloves or Alex gloves? I have multiple people tell me I have too much SS and to put alex gloves on for crit. Is this the better choice?

Meeting accuracy cap? SS>Crit
Edit in case: I did say crit>ss first, but it is in fact SS>crit.

I was in a hunt last weekend where someone pulled early and everyone went on for five minutes about how pulling early is going to be called GAFing. I saw a few GAF people hunting, too. I saw Katarina Arius quite a few times over the weekend and a few times last night.

Shire hat, boots, ear, wrist, one ring, rest Alex. Acc>SS>Crit for melds, with one Piety meld on the shire ring.
SS is barely better than Crit this tier.

I have 1174 SS without food. My crit can hit 900+ with food but people say my SS is too much. I'm confused. Yeah, I hit the acc cap a long time ago... I'm just wondering why the additional crit apparently helps. I always prioritized Spell speed. Got any suggestions or do I just keep my Augmented shire and buy something else with my 10s pages?
While mostly true, ~1051 SSPD (1001 pre-Flaugnarde) is generally accepted as the last relevant SSPD breakpoint to hit for BLM.

Actually scratch that, you're supposed to get two Piety melds, not one.

Half joking, but I do actually do this to the obvious jerks that are actually rude with this meme in game.

Either that or Det
There are multiple people in my FC that repeat this meme and swear everytime it's actually GAF that does it.
9/10 times it's some guy's Egi. Or there was a pull time determined and you weren't there to see when the pull time was determined. And hunts are awful anyway cause everyone complains about S ranks being pulled then never shows up to any A ranks that are called that spawn ten times as much and add up to way more than one damn S rank.
Spell speed lets you cast faster, but one of the primary motivators to stack is to get your garden variety enochian rotation in under 20 seconds and your 6 F4s in under raging in the opener. Beyond that the value sort of tapers off--your individual casts are faster and it may let you complete a cast you'd have to have canceled anyway, or move a little more without losing your rotation, but you don't benefit as much from spell speed after that point as you did leading up to it because you're not really getting anything extra into your Enochian cycle. There might be another breakpoint where suddenly you can get another cast in somewhere that matters, but that's why people settle around where they do.
Crit, on the other hand, basically always gets better the more you have. More crit makes you crit more, and makes your individual crits crit harder. The more you have the better it gets, and there's no point where adding more crit isn't worth it which is why pretty much every job ends up stacking it.

It hasn't been GAF every time, but every one in a while. Last 20 hunts, three early pulls as I call out pull time, call for otws.
Two of them were GAF tag.
It's ok, though. See,
You have to suffer GAF FC chat and I don't. :^)
Really though, does GAF have a linkshell? I have FC leader responsibilities for my friends so I can't go joining the FC.
Getting excited about Stormblood. Haven't played much at all, only to do holiday events. Still stuck at the end of Dragonsong war after beating it.
Improved inventory seems coolio and is something I;ve been wanting for years. Curious as to what the battle improvements could be.
Saw the special edition up for preorder on squares store but man that's some rich blood right there. Wonder if we can get the pet/mount dlc buy just buyin it digitally or something.

I skimmed through my Encyclopedia again and I keep being speechless and so damn impressed by the littlest of details about everything in the world of Eorzea. There's the history of the card deck, what every country's flag means, how the aether works in mother nature and even the stupid weight of the gil coin and the history of it.
Also I'm really not looking forward to doing the PotD floors 51-60 six plus times tomorrow just to level up to lvl 46.

But doesn't it get real hard? I actually haven't gotten further than floor 61 so I might try it out, just for something new. I just hate failing at the boss and having wasted time on 10 floors.
Just started playing a few days ago.
Started off as a Lancer because I love dragoons, but ended up switching to Conjurer since healer is more fun to play in groups and this would allow me to queue faster.
Once I unlock DRK, I may switch over to that since I like tanking as well.
Man, one thing that's surprised me about the game: the music. I always turn off music in MMOs. I loathe the music in WoW. But in FF XIV, it's perfect. This seems like it could be one of the best FF scores out there. Time will tell.

If you find it fun do what you like!
So far I've found myself enjoying the intense stress of healing in duties. In most cases I know that if I mess up and die the party goes with me. Same for a tank.
So I guess there's just extra, personal risk/reward stuff in it.
I'd say it's fun though.
generally they're more "important" compared to a dps' role
i wouldn't necessarily say they're more fun, everyone's definition of fun is different after all
i've been a blm main since 2.X and i think the class currently is pretty fun (at least more fun than blm@50), but i'm sure there are plenty who doesn't like blm because of casting time

Lol, and it has the Alex gloves. Looks like my bis was 2 pieces wrong which I can easily fix.
Edit: Kaladanda is better than Alex rod though and it will go to 275 so there's no point in getting the rod besides glam.

I wonder if they will re-order the skills that you learn as you level.
For example they could re-order Dragoon skills so early leveling is no longer Impulse Drive city until level 26.
Paladin could get Shield Oath at 30 instead of 40 for smoother aggro gen (never understood why Warriors get Defiance at 30 but Paladin gets Shield Oath at 40), etc.

i find them both fun i main WAR.
they're going to start selling jump potions, i doubt they're going to bother with low level stuff anymore
Depends if you find those roles fun in the first place.
I think it's easier for new players to play a dps for their first class, so they can see how all the fights are. If you ever get bored of dps, it's easy to switch to something else though.
GAF FC doesn't do any sort of organized hunting and no longer has a hunt linkshell. Anyone pulling early is on their own.
Dresden keeps telling me to try out other classes before committing too much to lancer. I don't know if it's actual advice, or if it's part of a long con where he and haly try to get me to play a tank or healer because they're both dps. On one hand I feel it's probably good to try out the range of roles to see what clicks best with me. On the other hand I'm a stubborn turd who tends to stick with game decisions I've made based on totally arbitrary reasons (in this case it's because after creating my character, a spear looked the best when I was scrolling through the classes and looking at the pose).
