Just secondary stats, can't increase str/dex, that increases automatically when you turn in the scroll. You can however put more than two secondary stats on the weapon, a mix of acc, det, crit, whatever.
Any Dow gear can turn into savage materia, but the changes of it turning into IV materia are higher when you use 45+ level gear. You'll want IV Savage materia, as it's going for 500-600k in the market.
For low level dungeons, particularly when someone in the group is clearly at the level the dungeon is intended for, I ask if anyone is after specific gear and then I pass on whatever they want. I'll greed on most other things for glamour or seals if they don't need it for gearing their class. For higher level stuff I'll need or greed on whatever I can.
Looking forward to Moonfire Faire, this'll be my first seasonal event. The gear looks pretty nice and the Bomb Dance has me intrigued.

Pass in everything in low, only need on crafting items and gear I actually need in expert. Seals are so easy to come by and the limit is so low I'm not thinking about that, and my desynth levels are too low. I used to get salty when other pt members needed on gear they visibly didn't "need" because I was trying to gear up my other jobs, but I just take it as a given that no one in a pug gives a fuck
Cool. What are good dungeons to run to get the appropriate 45+ gear?
greed on low level dungeons if its for a class i'll be/am leveling up, pass if not.

Hype get, all of the events I messed return. That illustrations are also great.
You can run some high level dungeons for gear, for you should consider crafting or buyng gear from the mb.

I got shouted at for needing some i80 gear. The dps said I was stupid for needing since ive already had the item in i100. He said that it was common sense that I should greed instead of need. That was the first time for me someone complained about the loot system in a dungeon.
I greed in low level, will need in low level if I'm trying to level an alt class and could legitimately use it.
Endgame dungeons I generally need crafting mats and greed everything else, unless I'm there for a specific item. Then I need that one item. I'll pass if anybody asks for a specific item in advance (unless it's the one I'm there for, then I might greed and let fate decide, but won't pass entirely), or on the occasional run where RNG has been too nice to me for comfort (winning 3/3 rolls on the first two bosses against the party, I'll probably pass on the final boss chest.) It took me 10 runs to see pants drop from Hullbreaker; I was there for the pants, specifically, and wasn't going to greed so somebody else could go turn them into seals.
Part of the problem specific to the new dungeons is that I don't really see the gear as something that's particularly useful in and of itself; it's way, way too easy to get i90 these days to see i80 as an important step in somebody's character progression anymore.

Frontlines standings for characters added. That one twin adder dude for victory rate in the sea of Maelstrom is kind of impressive.

dat minifilia
lol wow. Didint think they would do individual standings
Most wins for a player on Ultros in flames is 19 :lol
Wow I'm actually ranked 23 in victory rate for my GC, and 89 for the server. Pretty happy about the result given the top 10 ( probably more ) is mostly people doing premade.
I hope that ladder will make some frontline linkshell appear, I might want to join one for some more 'serious' fun, some allies in solo queue really make me want to bang my head against a wall sometimes.

It should be noted that if you switch to Weekly and raise the number of matches, Flames do a lot better.

well but that's what my suggestion was about. a hunt system that is tolerable and better designed. hunts in the current state don't even function for many people with low-key PCs or PS3s. i could tell you i don't care because it doesn't affect me, but that's not why i made that post.
i like competition, lots of it. but this game doesn't have open world pvp. so if you want to go that way, ask for the basics first. can't have a real unsheltered contest in this environment.
Because they get ques lol

Yeah, but there's plenty of unknowns like Baramoht Klynhollsyn and Exelon Vex.

i didn't do so bad with 52% win rate. just need that 8 man static to boost it.
i mean boost up to 2 hour queues.
Linkshells are actually pretty useless unless Anas is on.
At least you can ask for a quick pickup through it and people occasionally post <POS>, but yeah, you're sorta right. Last night both Yolo, Anas and every other lead was gone or afk and it was like Can I get a party flag? No? Not even after 20m? Anyone updating the ToD page? No? Okay well...
It's fine though, in those cases the community tends to step up. I was keeping to ToD's on my own spreadsheet and when someone came back I handed the data over, meanwhile some leads at the time were calling windows. Dem Sranks btw, so good.
I died to Brontes though :< Fucking disappearing swings

but it's good to see you can make a difference in FL. all the good people i noticed ranked well.
The dance should be just given to us to use whenever.
You sound surprised. I'm not sure why.
Nin Py getting carried is the only explanation, I think.
I think it's more surprising that people from Maelstrom are able to be in those rankings considering dat queue time. Maybe it's not the same on every server, though.
My thoughts on it from other MMOs is "Need" if I'd use it on my current class, "Greed' if I'd use it on another class/DEing, and Pass otherwise. But one of my first dungeons in XIV had someone apparently caring a lot that I was greeding on loot for a different class so maybe I'm just unaware of how it goes around here

Ooh, they're bringing back all the events I missed. I'll be able to get my Shantoto minion.
Everyone keep up with Chinajoy 2014? Apparently Yoshida wants Hamlets back.

Everyone gets butthurt way too easily over the Need/Greed thing. Very rarely does it ever -honestly- matter. I don't know why people get upset over Greed rolls, since if no one Needs it, it's essentially a free for all. The only time I ever really pass on gear is if I already have it and physically am not allowed to Greed/Need.
But yeah, when I LLDR, I just pass on everything because the seals are laughable and the other people probably can get more use out of it than I can.

Related to this. What equipment are you guys spiritbonding?
I've pretty much given up on battlecraft equipment, I always end up losing money with those.
For crafting, I'm doing Patrician sets. Each HQ piece sells for around 20k and the materias you get are often in the 20-30k range, with a chance of a IV (which is always CP!), so it's not so bad. I don't go out of my way to do it either. I'll SB while I'm crafting and I'll equip it on my WAR for dailies or killing mobs for my last goddamn book.
It's probably more profitable to just sell the sets on the MB, so I'm interested to know what you guys SB with. I'm thinking the key for crafting is ensuring Tier II materia with cheap equipment that doesn't get you Tier I and has a very little chance of a Tier III (since some are worth less). I don't know what that looks like yet.
Well, I craft and gather my won stuff for sb, so I never loose money. Most of the time I do raptorskin set on the left side, and crafting gear 45-50 accessories.
I was surprised about it since everyone passed anyway on all the other drops, including the Gladiator that could've needed it anyway. Some things never change, I suppose.
I wanted it for my Gladiator that I hit 20 on (Free Trial limit) before doing the dungeons :x

I do too, but if you turn a piece of equipment you could have sold instantly for 18-20k on the MB into a materia worth 3k, (after a great deal of work too) trust me, you've lost money.

We've been systematically crafting up i70 sets and spiritbonding them in marathon CT/ST runs. It does take a little money, but just one Savage Might IV typically recoups all costs instantly (and you're guaranteed tier IV from spiritbonding i70 gear). If you get more than a couple---well---
Also:
- FC Buff
- Stick some Materia on it
- Use the rings if you want (I don't, I just use i70 rings instead)
- Get drunk off Spiritbond Potions (buy many because you never know how a ST run will turn out and the effect dissipates upon death).
I was quite obviously joking but good job not being overly defensive when I never actually said anything bad about Ultros.
Frontlines ranking stuff is really good, I like it a lot. Not something I really expected, its nice to be surprised.
Finding less and less motivation to log in these days. On non-raid days I'm only logging for an Expert to get the Alex then logging off. Syrcus was fun for the first 5 or so times, after 50 times it's lost its luster just like the Labyrinth did. I find people in Syrcus are far less crap than Labrynth so I guess Square did a better job of designing it. Hopefully 2.35 can add some little wrinkles to get me into it again, maybe I just need a break from full on play. I might get back into crafting and gathering, take it slow and be self-sufficient ala Grave Robber and make some gil haha.
I see where you're getting at now, you're right I need to check that market. However, getting a savage might IV from SB is so good.
Put those Hamlets in the Hunt. If I could come and wreck shit as a MIN/BOT I would lolEveryone keep up with Chinajoy 2014? Apparently Yoshida wants Hamlets back.
