"Emperor's new" have been in the game for a while, just they've been limited to accessories till now. What they are, are invisible items that you can vanity so your character doesn't show said item.

So you'll be raiding in your underoos

 

[iammeiam]

D:

We both know I'm too lazy to actually do it, but dammit the dream is not dead.

Basically it's either crafted legs or use a twine on ironworks legs and just deal with the SS till t12 drops legs....Even with the SS on them, 130 ironworks is still better than 110 HA.

I've got crafted legs already and am sitting at ~522, which was ideal for being capped for everything I actually potentially do without having to think. Now I dunno what I'm going to do.

 

[Kagari]

No third i130 ring choice is pretty disappointing.

 

[scy]

Time for i110 crafted!

 

[Kintaro]

Nah mystery trial is gonna be more like Cape Westwind or Ultima.

Uh, but the quest for it is from the Minstral. So like Ultima HM, it may have some drops that are not listed as everything about it is in "???"

 

[Item Box]

So you'll be raiding in your underoos

or just glamour subligar/cascadier gear. but i suppose that's for people who are too lazy to level crafting classes

 

[Kagari]

I spent too much money on crafted junk already. Time to rebuild.

 

[Ken]

Just double up on the poetics ring?

i110 ring seems like a good option if your poetics is doodoo.

 

[Tabris]

Confirmed:

1 Carbontwine: 6 Unstained Mark Log (i.e. 3000 seals / 30 S ranks or 75 A ranks for a twine)
1 Carboncoat: 4 Unstained Mark Log (i.e. 2000 seals)

:lol That's a lot of hunting. At least people who were capped won't have a bunch of items logged in.

DEX-wise, the HA Pants are better than the i130 pants by a full point. Just shows how shitty Skill Speed is weighted.

Just gotta get that Dread belt from t6 t10 and you'll be just fine. That or be smart like me and get some accuracy on your zodiac... oh wait, you still have the harpbow. Tsk tsk.

 

[Kagari]

3000 allied seals for a carbontwine.
2000 for a carboncoat. lmao

 

[kiryogi]

Northern Thanalan (X:20 Y:22)
NPC: Edelstein

Is not Minstral. Only minstral quest is the pony one

 

[Pellegri Testament]

Just double up on the poetics ring?

i110 ring seems like a good option if your poetics is doodoo.

Basically this, get a 130 augmented ring and then a 120 ironworks because the 130 dread ring for bard is just kinda bad to look at.

[rubius01]

Dammit! I need 2 coats and 5 twines.

Spoiler

Fuck me

 

[iammeiam]

If the Dread belt was in T6 I feel confident I'd have seen it Sunday or Monday. Alas, everything was fending and ninja hats.


And my idiot harp bow is MAX STATS because it was the dumbest thing I could come up with. Could always respec to acc I guess.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Soooo I just bought this on PS4... It's downloading. Guess I'll be studying up for now.

 

[kiryogi]

3000 allied seals for a carbontwine.
2000 for a carboncoat. lmao

This is a relief, meaning hunts MIGHT not be as bad. I guess besides log drops but eff dat.

 

[Korezo]

Is Skill Speed a shit stat or something?

 

[Ken]

Is Skill Speed a shit stat or something?

Yeah.

It's not a big deal though unless you're trying to be max DPS.

 

[Kagari]

Yoshi-P's revenge.

 

[kiryogi]

For BRD it is

Woopsie, my bad. Carry on!

 

[Pellegri Testament]

3000 allied seals for a carbontwine.
2000 for a carboncoat. lmao

Pshh if anyone thinks that's going to take away from the amount of people doing them, they have no idea lol. If anything this will make the rage even worse when people miss out on hunts.

 

[Tabris]

This is a relief, meaning hunts MIGHT not be as bad. I guess besides log drops but eff dat.

Means hunting will be worse, because it will take those who grind that much longer, so hunts will always be busy which increases odds of early pulls and drama.

It does have the chance of discouraging people from hunting though.

 

[Valor]

My guess is that hunts will either be dead from the start because the grind to reward ratio is gonna blow, or that hunts will die off pretty quick because of that exact reason.

 

[Tabris]

Yeah.

It's not a big deal though unless you're trying to be max DPS.

Ignoring max DPS, it does suck running out of TP out of sync of your group though. I'm PLD and I run out of TP every FCoB fight now due to skill speed on shield, hands, and bracelet.

Lol works for me, I'll stick to getting a coat from the weekly, that is a fucking horrific amount of seals to gather.

 

[Kagari]

30 S ranks or 75 A ranks for a twine.

Don't clip your fracture so soon, man.

 

[Tabris]

30 S ranks or 75 A ranks for a twine.

lol, me and you are posting the same things and reading the same threads obviously

Don't clip your fracture so soon, man.

It's hard to time, and gotta be careful, because not having fracture up means we miss our DPS check.

 

[kiryogi]

30 S ranks or 75 A ranks for a twine.

Yup, fuck that. If anything I'd use the increased rewards for alex now or something, but to grind that out for a twine. Hooboy, I got better things to do.

 

[Kagari]

Pretty much.

 

[scy]

I hope everyone is ready to turn in their Supras for new stuff.

also they'll cost 80k 116k GC Seals

Spoiler

did they just remember these existed recently?

Edit: oops requires 1800 GC Seals per craft * 20.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

30 S ranks or 75 A ranks for a twine.

This is also assuming you get no logs from any of these. If it's the same chance as the bloody logs, then you have a good shot at getting some before hitting the cap.

 

[kiryogi]

I dunno if the cost is that high, the drop rate has to be atma pre nerf or something.

 

[rubius01]

Also, gold saucer will be out in a month, and I'm sure there will be twines and coats there

 

[Tabris]

Also, gold saucer will be out in a month, and I'm sure there will be twines and coats there

I personally doubt you'll get twine or coats from Golden Saucer.

 

[Ken]

Also, gold saucer will be out in a month, and I'm sure there will be twines and coats there

By then no one will care.

 

[ponpo]

Assuming I've done every Primal and story quest, where do I start for the Odin unlock? Is "All You Wanted to Know about Odin" quest the first non-primal quest requisite?

I personally doubt you'll get twine or coats from Golden Saucer.

They'd better not shit up Gold Saucer with "gameplay" items. Triple Triad cards only pls.

[Stuart444]

So from a few pages back... CT focus quest? Having to run LotA?

I have a sudden urge to run LotA on my tank (which I've not done yet since I haven't run LotA since before ST) and tank Bone Dragon in the middle for the lulz.

Still I'm not complaining, it gives people a reason to run the older 24-man content even with WoD being out.

 

[Tabris]

You're not really casual if you put up with that hunt grind to get your welfare twines and coats. That hunt grind will require more determination than raiding FCoB lol.

 

[Tabris]

I have a sudden urge to run LotA on my tank (which I've not done yet since I haven't run LotA since before ST) and tank Bone Dragon in the middle for the lulz.

I did that after ST came out. Tanked it in the middle. I was in a pre-made alliance, so I wasn't getting kicked.

The alliance chat filled up instantly. Screaming for me to be kicked. Almost every tank there was trying to voke and pull it off me.

 

[Valor]

That hunt grind will require more determination than raiding FCoB lol.

This is extremely true and profoundly sad because the amount of people doing one of these are going to far outweigh the other. We all know which way the scale tips.

 

[Augemitbutter]

SE are still drunk. forums are going to get ugly again. brace yourself.

Thanks.

Hunt grinding is more work than FCoB? Zuh? If you can find a hunt party there is zero work involved. Unless teleporting and taking part in killing the hunt sounds like more work than FCoB.

 

[Tabris]

Hunt grinding is more work than FCoB? Zuh? If you can find a hunt party there is zero work involved. Unless teleporting and taking part in killing the hunt sounds like more work than FCoB.

Hunting will be competitive again. Which means needing to run around zones looking for A ranks as they pop so your party can get there first. The amount of work scouting (unless your party doesn't care about you just waiting for the announcement) over that huge of a grind is insane.

 

[DarknessTear]

The welfare levels will be high. The thirst and tears... It will be beautiful. I can't wait to be a villain just for being in GAF. Ohohohohoo!

 

[iammeiam]

So one twine is, what, four A trains? Call it five to allow for misses due to drama.

That seems considerably easier and more casual than bennu.
