Worst dungeons for zodiac relic:

1) AV (this one is obvious, mobs just have WAY too much HP and it's too slow when used to speed running)

2) Snowcloak (all the lazy players run this over and over for their poetics. healers that don't dps all over the place.)

3) Pharos Sirius (that first boss sucks with new players and can even be more annoying when overgearing due to adds spawning faster and DPS trying to burn down instead of taking care of those adds)

Everything else hasn't been so bad so far. I find outside of WP, AK, and EXDR dungeons, it's mainly just relic people running with an occasional new player (rarely do I see 2 new players).

No male Highlander hair styles??? PLEASE!

Seriously, male Highlander hair is the absolute, dumpster-tier worst.
We have the best hairstyle in the game.

It just so happens we also have some of the worst hair styles too.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who was seeing The Last Remnant in these hair styles.
They directly reference it in the blog post, saying they look familiar and he'll have to ask Hiroshi why(the director of TLR)

Project Manager M is a girl!
 
Got my 2nd Zodiac, Lilith Rod. Already dyed it to Snow White.

My BRD will bave to settle with the Gundam cannon next hopefully. Someday I'll have Dreadwyrm...

I'm just starting alexandrite farming, what's your preferred method for that seeing as you've done it twice now?

highlanders are like the best at all the things

The appropriate way to tell him would have been the winner linking it at him in FC chat. Both now and at random intervals for the foreseeable future.

Can't argue with the Sc part, it's so boring that it's literally hard to not fall asleep.
I dozed off, didn't dodge Lunar Cry and died 3 days in a row.

Snowcloak sucks and I'm glad I never get it in EX Roulette.

I hope they add something to Main Scenario roulette. I've just stopped doing it and given up the 80 tomes because of how boring I think those TWO areas are. I don't mind the Ultima battle I guess but everything else is zzz

Really? I happen to like Snowcloak. Actually, that's the dungeon I run/hope for in-regards to my EX Roulette/Poetic grinds. I will agree that it can get boring, though, which is why I like Q'arn HM to appear occasionally.

Anything but Satasha HM. I hate that place. -_-

Anything with that funky organ music is good, actually. The Haukke HM one.

I'm doing it now and I would say hunts are the best because you can straight up just buy the Alex without having to mess about with treasure maps. You also get your one-a-day from ex roulette and the rest is just farming sol and buying maps from Rowena as far as I can tell.

But good job @ 3 meteors. I thought me doing that last night was special ;_; And damn I should use some sort of voice chat program. Having someone call out everything sounds convenient.

Sadly there's not much advice to give. I already had the Stardust Rod on the Animus stage when Novus came so I've been getting Alexandrites at a somewhat steady pace since day one with the daily quest.

When the Novus was introduced you could rush it thanks to the crazy amount of Myth tomestones you could obtain in The Hunt. It was something like 20 from a B, 80 from an A and 200 from an S. With 10 Rank A you had a mysterious map and an alexandrite bought with allied seals and since everyone was farming them like crazy for sands and oils it was easy.

But currently it's way worse. Maps are 400 soldiery, but you only get 20 from a Rank A, meaning you have to kill 20 instead of 10 for a map.

My advice is to not try to rush the farm and kerp going steady. I farmed the first 75 alexandrites in like a month, and the other 75 are come from from the daily quest and spare alexandrite bought with seals. Those took like 2 to 3 months. At least until they improve the Soldiery droprate, which seems likely with 2.5

I'm waiting for Alex nerf in 2.5. Alex for 100 Soldiery each, believe.

In case it's not obvious this is not confirmed except in my heart.

I never had issues with the first boss in Pharos, I really like that dungeon too, the music is great and it's not too long.

AV is awful, huge potential for terrible players and it's long as fuck.

Anything with that funky organ music is good, actually. The Haukke HM one.

Haukke HM is great, music fits well, it's a relatively quick dungeon and the Ash fight is pretty fun. It's also funny to wipe on the last boss because people try to rush dps it without killing the last add for some reason.

Really? I think it's the best of the EX Roulette ones. Pretty fast and easy. The bosses don't give any trouble and are pretty straight forward.

Sastasha is the worst IMO. The second boss is annoying, especially if you replace DPS and end up with 2 NIN. The last boss is the most boring and long thing ever. Even the first boss has caused wipes when you mess up the tentacle and it gets the healer. The worst all around.

Desynth bumping to 110 per skill/350 overall is interesting. You can max 3 for real!

Disappointing that Mystery Trial is going into roulette, since that means it's just an HM.

WTF is an Allagan Catalyst? CT and ST just going to give you a sand on completion now?

Hildi poses for all!


Korra to be server first whatever this is.

Edit: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
・The rate at which soulglazed relic weapons achieve soul attunement has been increased.

Also for Tomo:
The drop rate for Alexandrite when completing a FATE with a gold rating while equipped with an animus, novus, or nexus weapon has been increased.

ILevel sync returning to dungeons to make Zodiac slaughter slightly slower, though.

Also, I see that the Aetherial Wheel is a disappointment? If it still is going to have the intended function they said of guild wide crafting, I'm assuming they are just throwing it in now and giving it real use in heavensward.
 
Upon completing the quest "Just Tooling Around," players can inquire about master crafting tomes and tools by speaking with Guiding Star in Mor Dhona at Revenant’s Toll (X:22 Y:6).

I wonder what the hell that's all about.

Retainers can now be placed on estate grounds outside the hall.
An expansion of duties permit is required to place a retainer on your estate grounds outside the hall. These permits can be purchased from independent sutlers in any residential district.

One, two, or three retainers can be placed on small, medium, and large estates respectively.

Once a retainer is placed on estate grounds, items that they currently have listed for sale on the market can be purchased by anyone who speaks with them. The retainer's sales history (up to 20 entries) can also be viewed by other players.

Placing retainers on estate grounds does not impact your ability to summon them via summoning bells to deposit and withdraw items, or to assign retainer ventures.

That sounds interesting. I'm thinking if someone buys stuff directly from your retainer you don't have to pay taxes. Otherwise what would be the point?

Now I curse going with a small house.

Alex drop rate being higher in fates mean it might be a viable way to farm them now? I hope so I'm still very early on that stage.

Lights farming being nerfed is great.

They still haven't nerfed the books though, which ensure I'll never get another relic past the zenith stage beside my main one >.>

You can receive only one reward item per week for completing duties in the World of Darkness. In the event you are awarded an item from the loot list, you relinquish your right to vie for all remaining items regardless of whether you selected Need or Greed. If time expires and a reward item is obtained automatically, this will also count toward the weekly limit.


So I read this as either no upgrade items/tomestones out of the gate or yoshi delivered those sexy lies once again. Either way L O L.

I guess it could also read that the stuff isnt something you roll on but is just placed into your inventory or is a weekly quest reward since both those cases would avoid the above scenario but the first would be dumb and the second would make too much sense.

Edit: Oh man, I see SE stopped giving a shit about Nightmare, he is unneeded and unwanted.

GET HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

seems like the reward for getting all the primal mounts is a kirin mount, which is revealed from the achievements
thankfully the drop rates will be increased for all the mounts

I assume they'll drop as often as atmas, which would make it really efficient if you prefer doing FATEs over hunts. Though not sure it would be faster even with Atma droprates.

Light nerf sounds good, I guess I'll keep farming when the window isn't shit(I like T4 and Titan for loot, but Garuda can fuck off) and probably hit the patch at 1000 or so. Hopefully it's like doubled, which means I'll be done within a week.

Also fucking new tools. Guess I'll wait to finish my alchemist/goldsmith supras see if the new tools require them(most likely). Need to get the books done though.
