Oh even the crafting stuff? I thought it was just the battle things.
It's just so great that there's another method to get them now. I've found I'm stuck in this cyclical problem where you can't craft or gather better gear or mats because you don't have better gear. The grind is still fierce to slowly claw your way up there, or you can spend millions of gil, neither of which is very tempting at this stage of the patch cycle.
That little miqo'te will be getting so many feckin' seals from me, she'll be running out of shelf space.
You realize the chances of getting 3-lines are extremely low though, right? Without the shuffle function it's 0.2%.
Hm, perhaps I didn't read into how it all works closely enough. I thought each seal comes from a randomly-chosen objective. Now that I look more closely, it appears the seals themselves are random as well. Definitely makes it...RNGy.

There's a mhachi demimatter for crafting Vs now, I bet that's wondrous tails to be as annoying as possible as well.

I don't mind the change to glamour prisms but I know a lot of people will cry bloody murder about it.

...Why? Did people really care about cornering the market on stuff that's like 2k gil?
didn't realize the maintenance starts today :O
was thinking of getting my DD save files to floor 50 so i can immediately jump in
Deep Dungeon update is in a month from now.
Last time I mentioned that I would like this system to be changed to eliminate grades I got told that it would be a disaster for money making so I'd say some people do care, greatly.
Hopefully it's a sign of things to come and we're getting a glamour log in 4.0.

Its a disaster for some and an opportunity for others. Empty prisms might finally be worth something.

Yes. You don't understand their madness Scything
At least they'll be less bullshit clear prisms falling into my inventory from expert. Only one grade as opposed to four slots being taken up.
I barely glamour anyway so it doesn't bother me one way or another.

Thordan weapons don't seem to need any materials from Thordan itself lol

Well the same number of glamour prisms are going to be needed so unless they don't want to adapt they shouldn't make that much less I'd think.

Hello guys, is there any drawbacks if I don't get any of the crafting classes with a char?
There are so many that I think I'll only up (some of) them once. Not the biggest fan of crafting stuff, though I'll try doing it in this game cuz I see alot of people crafting around Limsa Lominsa.

It's a slow grind, but if you just want to casually level a craft, take a few minutes each day and do the Ixali beast-tribe quests (and later the moggle tribe quests past 60). They provide materials, so it's free.
In terms of getting caught up after the patch in terms of lore gear, I have been out of the loop, but doesn't the lore weapon require a tomestone or 4x Midan Gears? I didn't see the patch notes mentioning a removal of the gear cap, but I would expect it would. I am trying to see if I should spend the time to get some alt classes caught up, or if I should just keep building my BRD since it has the PotD Glow Bow.
... Now that I think of it, I haven't even cleared any of Midas normal yet. I am way too far behind on the times in this game now

and I will be stuck as a BRD forever.

But does it cause any problems if I don't up them?
Like, if you haven't upped a blacksmith you'll have a hard time getting X weapon?
No. Just ask someone else to craft it for you.
Gear cap was removed last patch already.

They reduced the amount of gears needed to 4

Man, I hope there is a free weekend coming up soon. I might sneak in and at least clear the story parts of this patch. Rise of Iron kind of has me pre-occupied at the moment.
I was reading the full patch notes and noticed that the Alexander: The Creator (Savage) quest "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Retells Your Story" is a reference to a song "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who tells Your Story" from the musical, Hamilton.
Yeah, I always liked that one as well.

First thing I'm going to do is check out the new hairstyles.
There are a bunch of references like that. Favourite one is "Quake Me Up Before You O'Ghomoro".

FFXIV localization team is the best with their puns and references.
Seeing "Biggs and Wedge's Excellent Adventure" had me laughing for a solid thirty seconds. It works on so many levels.
They haven't for a few major patches in a row now.

Glad the new graphics update is default on PS4 now. It's really nice but most players probably never even knew the setting was there.

Make lvl 50 armor for all your lvl50 classes and your future lvl50 classes.
Are you planning on working on an Anima? Buy some items for the 230 to 240 step.
Anima items are Poetics, aren't they. That may work, thx.
Stone Ocean

Not worth getting Crystal Sand with poetics, they are too bloody expensive and its much easier to get them elsewhere.

If you've got nothing else to spend them on, why not?

I spent a lot of poetics for sand. What else am I going to spend it on?
Between poetics and the Leve spam trick, I was never short on sand.
Stone Ocean
Member
Maybe they'll add more stuff to spend poetics on, maybe the 4.0 relic will need these tomes, etc.
All I know is I'm not spending 450 tomes on one sand lol

Eh you hit cap easy enough, 450 is nothing; 4.0 relic is a long way away.

They shouldn't need to be spiritbonded.

I was considering getting an apartment but I would only get one if everyone else in the building was a Lalafell and they were the only race allowed. Don't want Miqo'tes leaving kitty litter sand everywhere.
Yea, someone pointed out that they have similar description to mastercraft demimateria, which is where the speculation of spiritbonding came from. So probably won't need spiritbonding, hopefully.
Leve spam trick is decent for about 15 or so out of 100. Blue scripts is still the fatest, if you are a crafter and gather your own mats.
How are you doing on your relic? D: you'll have your book before. then again I switched over to bard mage main a couple of patches ago.
like, 75% of the quest names seem to be puns/references. My favourite is a dragonhead leve called "We'll dismember it for you wholesale"

Haha, I loved that one too. PKD is one of my favourite authors.
Though on a more lowbrow note I also love "Birch, Please".

Thank fuck for that indeed. I hated how overpriced all those prisms were on the MB.
You're playing the endgame wrong then.
