Set pet to Obey and control it manual. It'll only use it's main attack. Once you get used to it, it's easy. ACN is pretty basic in the beginning. Ruin. Ruin. Ruin. Bio. Ruin. Ruin. Ruin. Bio. Rinse and repeat until you can add Miasma to the list.

Holy fuck, Twintania is one complex asshole
Gonna have to watch quite a few vids on this fight before clearing it.

The help Icon when I summoned for the first time said press "R1" to go to my Pet Cross Bar. R1 never goes to the Pet Cross Bar though; it just cycles through my 8 sets. The only way I seemed to be able to get to the Pet Bar was to use the touchpad as a mouse to bring the cursor over the pet command that I wanted to use. Ridiculous.
i'm a blm, and i think it's better if you keep going as smn
they deal so much more dps compared to us it's not even funny

Hmm, guides do a really bad job at explaining how Conflags are basically like Gaols and not just some temporary thing. Thanks for the vid.

I wasn't aware of the better dps, but the cross bar problem I complain about in the above post makes me not want to bother.
Oh my god.

Clean your blacklist out man. Old spammer names don't get reused. I basically empty mine out once a week so I can add more spammers.

One important thing about Twintania is that ever since the echo started, she started messing up her conflags.
Instead of slow, fast, slow, fast and maybe slow, she sometimes skips the first fast conflag, and the Fireball icon for the person that needs to go in appears before the conflag, it's really weird.

It's actually much easier now.
Don't run fireballs in anymore and just treat every conflag as a fast conflag.
The Echo makes downing them in time incredibly easy unless the DPS is horrendous.

Make sure you go through their chat support (avoid email), it seems to be the most reliable in terms of getting results within a reasonable amount of time.

Can someone help me understand why, when dungeoning, the recommended routine for tank(gladiator) is:
Flash, Flash, Combo, Flash, Combo
I have had several higher level players request that I run that flow and it makes no sense to me. A second flash up front is pointless because enemies are already blinded. It seems like a waste of MP/Time. But if I don't cast that second flash, people get pissed and kick me from the party and the dungeon.

That happened before the echo too

I didn't say it's harder, it's just weird that she skips a conflag and changes the icon order.
Is that because of higher DPS? I wouldn't think the phase would change itself, only end sooner.

Flash builds enimity quickly.
The combo has ramp-up time before the major enimity generation (3rd move)
Ideally you open every pull with a shield lob to the first enemy the DPS will attack. Then Flash to lock the enimity down and then combo away.
Yeah. Every time someone in our group got an upgrade, we'd have conflags change timings. We just ended up learning to adapt to whatever happened on the fly.
Yeah, we would get two slow conflags in a row, fireballs before conflags were up, fireballs after conflags died, etc.

The Death Sentence timing carries into the next phase.
If you DPS the first phase faster, the Death Sentence timing could play weird games with fireballs and conflags.

What is the process in joining the GAF FC on lamia? I'm a friendly guy enjoys the occasional jrpg trope and long walks on the beach if that helps...j/k but seriously looking forward to joining up with other gaffers on the red headed step child of servers. Let me know
I heard that the GAF FC on Lamia is nonexistant now. I should probably remove it from the OP.

If anybody wants to play with GAF, they should be on Ultros. The other groups pale in comparison.

I can't stop smiling..
I'm planning to play it like I'm playing Nintendo Pocket League right now: Get in a few games while the duty finder is doing its thing.
All the lewd! All the lewd!
This fucking game is driving me nsane.
Every time i try to log in it gives me a wrong password prompt. I subscribed, played five minutes, logged off and now it won't let me log in again.
After i had to delete my previous square enix account cause even if i succesfully changed password it wouldn't let me log in to it.
Is there a way to fix this fucking mess? Even the square enix site is fucked up.
I spent a good three hours trying to get this shit sorted, but i'm seriously thinking of beinging this game back to the shop cause right now i spent more time trying to change/create/log in with my account than with the game itself. It seriously is making me sour about this game and square enix's dealing with such mess. Even square enix customer support site and boards are clueless about this stuff.

Are there any other FC I should remove from the first post?
I created a one password like they asked, should i not put it in when i log in? It asks for both my password and my one time password.

Stop filling out the one-time password box unless you have a one-time password application/token.

You don't create a one-time password. It is an authentication token (think RSA Token) that generates a random 6 digit code for 2-step verification.
Just put in your username, password and leave the one-time password blank unless you have enabled 2-step authentication on your account.
Maybe SE didn't anticipate the type of customers they would get in the NA region. They should dumb down the login and put a picture of a security token or something. I see way too many people who have issues logging into this game.
It doesn't let me login even if i leave the one time password blank.
Wheter i put it in or not, it gives me an invalid username and password screen prompt.
Edit: and now it worked, at the third try.

Are you trying to put your email in the username field? Try the username proper. Or vice-versa. I don't remember exactly, but some SE services only work with the email and others with the username.°°ToMmY°°;109092663 said:
Also, they should just stop using the stupid "one time password" term. Just change it all to Security Token Code, like the subtext in the Mogstation login form.
Welp, I've got a question about Materia melding.
Today I broke down and bought the HQ ilvl90 Crafted Tank head piece, even without materia it's still better than the Warriors Myth helm, and it was being sold for less then the cost of the base materials it would've taken to make it.
Well, sometime today I'm going to break down and have somebody materia meld that sucker, but I know very little about crafting, and materia melding specifically. I know that you can meld more materia to an item then the number of slots would indicate, I've heard five to be precise. However, I've also heard that there's a set limit to how high you can drive any given bonus stat on an armor piece. So, for example, putting two level 5 accuracy materia's may not do you much good, because that's 18 Accuracy, and the item maxes out at 15.
This is actually the exact scenario I want to avoid, because while the price of almost every other piece of materia has all but collapsed in the past few weeks, accuracy materia is still absurdly expensive.
So I guess my question is this. How do you determine the max any stat can bet tricked out via materia, and what's the practical limit for number of pieces that can be attached?
Edit: Yes thankfully I have the Gil to afford all this, but I'll probably have to step up Gil gathering a bit in the future, if I want to grab personal housing quickly in 2.3 that is. XD
Edit Edit: Crafted helm's bonus stats are Crit Rate and Parry, Myths were Determination and Skill Speed. Thus why I'm saying that the crafted helm is better, parry is worth more than skill speed, and I'd rate crit rate as about as good as determination. If I can get even a little accuracy onto there, I'll be set for weeks.
Edit Edit Edit: Believe it or not, my main motivation for doing this now, is that I want to be able to equip the Fending Ribbon, next time it drops. In other words, I want to be less of a slave to the accuracy cap. XD

went there last night. Totally felt the same way regarding the music. Amazing
Yeah, it's incredible. Been playing just through the TV but stuck my Pulse Elites on now after getting there, even the battle music is even more awesome.
Got the collectors edition but not listened to the CD yet. Going to rip it tonight now and really hoping those 2 tracks are on it.
I love Coarthas, especially when either storms come up and it's a near whitewash, or everything's gone perfectly clear.
I'm a big sucker for snow scapes. XD
Edit: Also it's the only place in the game where the Warrior Artifact and Myth armors actually look in place. I mean, dat Crimson Viking look and those furs.

Could have saved a ton of money and just farmed the T5 helm.
I know, but I don't think the group I'm in is very keen on the idea of farming T5, and it's only imaginary money. Besides, I'll be done with the books soon, so hopefully I can get back to selling Myth Tome Mats. I don't expect the price to hold up as well as it has, but even at 50K a pop I'd make up most of the money I'm planning to spend in two weeks.
Feels like something out of Might and Magic 6.
