but can I ride it?
Tsundere
Noo, thats me!
Heh. After a huge number of Syrcus Tower in which I never got the Bard body, I decided to say "screw it". Now I'm getting any piece of equipment which isn't a belt and which can be useful to me.

At least there are cool Pokemon. The ponies in this game look so awful.
Thank you everyone who helped in the bard chest death march earlier today. As of this writing, it continues.
On the bright side, I've given up on counting runs and am measuring based on aetheric activity. Two more days of as much WoD as I've done today and I'll have Nexus.

and still no shirt.
I can't believe I'm having to defend GAF on these stupid hunt /sh's.
It's same people who early pull, at least late night, Rylai, Pudding, Cuddly, and Lord Sephyr. And some DRG I keep missing name of cause he jumps. None of which are in GAF.
I don't even understand the early pull thing. You spend hours doing nothing but running around scouting during hunts, then when something spawns, you need to attack it right away and can't wait the 30 seconds extra that's needed for people with slow load times? I'm not even missing any hunts personally, it's just a common courtesy thing for other people.

hero to us all
Yeah I'm getting the only thing useful to me also... the chest.
Yesterday after work I wanted to do a quick little Duty Roulette. You know,just get my bonus stones for the day, have a bit of fun,nothing long really.
I get Aurum Vale. "Ok" I think "This won't take super long, np"
It took 70 minutes. We went through 3 different healers and 2 DPS.
The DPS we ended up with died on every boss in the first 10% or so.
We wiped at least 3-4 times on every boss cause the healer/s were terrible,the tank was terrible and the DPS were picking their noses instead of helping to kill the thing.
I just shook my head at the end and turned off my PC for the night.

Got the BRD chest pieces from WoD after like 20 runs or so. Actually it was the fourth one I saw but I had lost all the previous rolls, including one with a 92 D:.
Next week I'll go after healer stuff. Hat, gloves and belt are BiS for SCH if you're skipping hunts like me. With the expansión coming hunts aren't worth of my rage.

So the NPC you talk to in order to enter the Sanctum of the Twelve to plan your ceremony during the EB quest vanishes after you complete it. You can never again enter the Sanctum except to attend another person's wedding.
Well I mean unless you get divorced and married again.
It's so beautiful in there, what's the point of not letting it be an open area you can walk around in?

Probably the same reason why we don't have open world dungeons.
Drama? Is that you?
Did the Ultros battle for the 1st time, actually enjoyed it. Had a healer that explained everything well and we did it in a 1/2 hour 
that guy probably got lots of Player recommendations!
The Lucis tools are so amazing! I can now put the Artisan Trade-in with No food and all NQ ingredients... put it on macro.

It's because of hunts!
Word.
The dream!
I wanted to make a comment in Illy's posy on the official forums regarding the Midgardsormr localization issues but the forums wouldnt let me pick a main character. Guess its for the best.
My two cents is, whether you understood what Midgardsormr was talking about or not, the fact issues came up to begin with is the problem. This isnt the first time issues have come up. A character in Ishgard was changed almost completely until they used him as a big character in cutscenes. He appeared completely out of character in that respect in english while he remained the same in other languages. The H7nt hints were another example. English speaking players had to look to Japanese translation for proper hints.
I hope Koji and his crew take a look at some of their decisions going forward a bit moee closely. I understood his Dragonspeak post. I get it. But issues have been called out and should be looked at. Take that to heart. I personally think he has it backwards. Old beings and creatures like to praddle on, not cut things off. =p

This is why hunts aren't worth it.
With Midgardsormr, I finally got to that scene last night and my 2 cents
if anything it's a change in tone and a decision by the English team to leave Middy a little more mysterious and menacing as opposed to in the Japanese where it's yet another powerful supernatural being here to help you! If anything I prefer the decision by the English team to draw out the dramatic tension a bit more and as someone else said, it would be nice to have a character is this game who isn't either a cheerleader or the epitome of evil. It would be awesome if that middy minion they gave kept constantly insulting you and all the other dumb hero characters. But, obviously they are setting it up In the expansion where you will be unlocking the crystals (again) to win the blessing of a god (middy this time) as you go around and reconcile with all the 7 dragons.
Is there a reference somewhere that explains how many of each materia I need to put in my Animus? Like how many Might 1, 2, 3, 4's to max determination, and maybe an overall recommended build? I'm doing Dragoon and know I'm maxing determination and crit (kill me plz) but not sure what else I should put in it.
Wondering how much this is going to cost me. Getting the Alexandrite (even pre-patch) doesn't even seem like that big of a deal in comparison to getting the cash for high end DPS materia.

75 total infusions. The amount each tier a stat will take is determined by (MaxStat / 4) with any remainder going to the highest tiers first. So for Crit (44), this means each tier will take 11 and Determination (31) will be 7 / 8 / 8 / 8.

They are entirely worth it when you don't clear coil every week. Everyone wants better gear. This is a way to do it were we have some control to actually do so.

Buy as many det 4s you can now while the market fell. You get one at the end of the new main story questline so they fell about 300k. I believe the first 3 at least are 100% chances.
Yeah.... That didn't put a dent in the market at all. At least not on Sarg.
They're adding it to Crystal Tower stuff over time. Personally if I wasn't doing Coil I would stick to that rather than deal with hunt drama. Got 4 months or so until expansion anyway.
Weekend hunting has always been trash; I didn't even bother going to the S ranks this morning. Midweek should be good; I'm 1/3rd of the way to a poverty twine and people on the As I went to during the week were pretty laid back.
I think by the time they add twine to WoD I will have an adverse physical reaction to mention of the place.
One important thing to keep in mind: It is really, really easy to replace materia after you've completed Novus. It just takes a new scroll (easy since soldiery is everywhere now), 1 Alex per point you want to replace, and the new materia. There is no reason to hold up your relic progression, when you get there, because you can't fund MAX STATS (and while aiming for maximum secondaries is nice, the difference between the budget builds and the pricey ones in terms of real DPS is so ridiculously small it's never going to make or break you.)
Provided you have access to like two million gil or so, which isn't too tough to come by, Alex really should be the time limiting factor in the Novus step.

Can't dye spaceships without poverty twine. I blame them for mixing iLevel and vanity to start with.
Yeah. For instance, 33 Crit, 23 Determ, 19 Accuracy (or 33 Crit, 20 Determ, 22 Accuracy or whatever) will save you millions and cost you at worse ~6-7 effective STR. You can make up some of that with the Accuracy meaning one less Accuracy slot on your right side or non-Accuracy food or something.
Guys, I need info.
I'm kinda stuck as a WHM.
I have lvl62 gear, I've acquired swiftcast etc from Thurmarturge and Arcanist, I'm completing the dailies for ToS so I can buy better gear.
Yet it doesn't feel like im progressing, Am I missing something?
I don't know how to explain it, it justs whatever I manage to do I seem to be so far behind every player around me in the dungeons etc.
(My first mmo)

Most of the level 50 playerbase is going to radically outgear you just by virtue of having been around longer, so feeling like you have to catch up is pretty normal. The good news is that this is, IMO, where the game starts getting good and opens up. So enjoy catching up, I guess.
This thing gives you a rundown of what to do as a fresh 50; it'll take time but you can catch up pretty easily.
Yeah I'm looking at crit/det and then ss as my poverty stat. 400K for one point of crit is not something I can afford right now.
Anyways, got my Demon Hat of Casting from WoD today so 'yay!'. I dig WoD. It's really chaotic which I like. Everybody's just all in a big mashup not standing neatly in groups. Done with it for this week though. Gonna check out the new dungeons.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
That google doc is all kinds of amazing..........
Now, where to start xD
Black Mage, right? Shouldn't it be SSPD/Det and then Crit (or Accuracy) as your poverty stat? Stat weights and all.
Ok this is good info! I did not even realize they could be replaced. So what's a good recommended budget build for Dragoon? Should I still partially increase crit/det to like Materia 3's then just do some accuracy or whatever?
It's like...week 12/13 of poetics. Go get to clearing Coil.
Not the case at all. Crit is a garbage increase per point. I fell victim to these same lies, do a SS/det weapon.
But why do you need better gear if you aren't clearing coil? Even with full soldiery you're set until the expansion.

The desire to get better gear will always be there.
I think people want better gear so they can clear coil.
But...

The alternative to having to buy any level IV materia is to put 22/23 points into DET, 33 into CRIT, and 19/20 into ACC.
I main DRG as well and this is the route I went with for now as I cannot afford those level IV materia for the time being.
You clear coil by going into coil and doing coil. Gear helps a bit yeah, but having the best gear is only going to take you so far. What's the point of the gear outside of intrinsic value if you're not doing coil to begin with?
