Doesn't seem so bad especially if elite marks sound like they're essentially fate boss zergs. Could see players getting a sand a week from this without much fuss.
From what I understand you can just kill elite marks without a hunt for them since they just exist in the open world, and be rewarded with 20 seals. The weekly elite hunt just gives a bonus seals on top of the normal payout (think roulettes) plus a specific target.
Could be wrong though.
What do you mean?
That's a pretty good amount, actually surprised with that.

Did a few elite hunts including Naul, which I didn't get to in time to make any real effort (ended getting one seal). Daily hunts aren't worth it (three sets of enemies, two enemies from FATEs). You'll only get 7 seals from completing all tasks in the bill (although the gil is nice)
Only other quest I did besides getting the ability to do hunts, was get access to Syrcus Tower. I'll try that out later with hopefully a GAF party. I'll try out Ramuh Hard later too

How are the new dungeons? I unlocked the quest but won't be doing them till later. I also see that unlike the last two sets of patch dungeon you have to complete the dungeon before finishing the quest
I'm so jelly. Listening to the mrhapy stream, no work being done.
What I quoted from the patchnotes before:
If you timed it correctly you could cast a Flare right as the mana tick from Umbral Ice filled up your MP bar. Then you could cast another Flare straight away.
They have tried to "fix" that in 2.1. now they did it apparently.

So I take it Ramuh Hard is piss easy right. I see people battling the EX version already on streams
No different than Levi hm and em then.
They probably learned their lesson from Titan hm lol

Savage rafflesia being its first iteration of the fight is pretty obvious haha
New shirt is nice.
Where do you get it from?
New HM dungeons.
Jesus. So I get DC'd at the worst possible moment (right when the 30 minutes for the Elite Mark are up, as its being counted so far) cause my power goes out, and I'm in a rush to log back in. Thankfully Naul is still MIA as I get back, so I go forward a bit, turn to my right twice only a bit, and what do I see at the distance...
I was so nervous that I then proceeded to fuck up the <pos> three times in a row.
But man, this thing has like no health. I flashed him all the while the rest of my party made it to him, and their auto attacks were enough to get him to half health before someone else shouted his location. Bunch of people gathered just in time to watch his corpse lie on the snow.
Love the new patch, lots of new stuff to get into!
But oh man, the Borderlands queue system is so messed up. 72 people has to press accept, if one cancel you have to accept again.
Why can't they handle it like other games do battlegrounds. Start the game without having everyone needing to accept oO

Ugh, this. While I was getting ready for work I idled waiting for the FATE that has my daily mark. ~40 minutes later, I get 2 lousy seals. Also "just missed" Naul about 3 times this morning D:
Tam-Tara HM, the "victory" CS
was pretty messed up, not sure what to say about it besides that. First boss mechanics were pretty clever.
Got the i80 healer body piece too, i kinda like the look. Might try to make a glamour set out of it.
and the final CS of the completion quest

The new gathering tools need 99 NQ of a new item. At 408 gathering, you get 81% chance and it is NQ-only. You can use the ability to increase yield per hit, but you also want to use GP to up that %. The Botanist item is Redolent Log at Central Shroud, Greentear, 6AM, slot 6. The Mining item is Antumbral Rock at Eastern Thanalan, 2AM, slot 7.
EDIT: Based on early reports for desynthesis, you need high level desynthesis skill to reliably desynthesize the primal weapons so I wouldn't try doing it right away. NQ/HQ and spiritbond % do not make a difference on desynthesis chances. People recommend working on lower-level items first and going from there. I might buy a bunch of equipment from NPCs later tonight and desynthesize those to bring my skills up.
EDIT2: I said Botanist item twice.

Not that bad, better than 90HQ items. Even without playing the odds, that's 17 visits max.

Considering he's not a Savage like other primals that was a pretty nice way to introduce the Ramuh fight.
The Lodestone site is updated with the 2.3 stats as well. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/
It looks like the CT2 DRG body has accuracy and determination, which I prefer over the i100 soldiery body. That shall be my goal this week.

I downloaded the patch this morning but I'm stuck at work for the time being. I'm not going to be able to really play until about 7 hours from now but I should be able to hop on during lunch, setup the Chocobo stables and do a few other things.

Did the game just crash for anyone else?
Rowena needs to break into the materia market; I accidentally capped myth running the new dungeons and getting marks this morning.
First boss framing innocent bards with AOE!

Okay, mostly satisfied with the new gearing options. I'm a little annoyed with the Rahmuh spear.
"Accuracy yay! Skill speed? boo!"
But it'll still be a slight upgrade for me.
Also, tried the new dungeons, and they're fantastic. Though I mostly just Brute Forced through them today. I'll work on polishing up mechanics when I'm less tired. I'll try new CT and Hunts when I'm off work, and then work on unlocking Ramuh proper.
