really happy the last relic upgrade is basically a throw away step makes up for all the hell they put people through since atmas. I fully expect people to have there zeta weapons before the day is over.

Ah, it's only a NA/EU issue. No wonder it hasn't been fixed yet. If Japanese players weren't able to log in we would have had emergency maintenance 4 hours ago.

Getting conflicted reports on whether Nexus and Zeta windows coincide. Some say they don't but I've seen every bonus coincide so far.
Forgot Garuda EX gives gentle for Nexus normally.

First mahatma done in a few hours entirely off alex maps and FATES. Not bad I guess. I don't think the steps scale exactly--I counted 4 FATES for the first phase change on my second mahatma, but was like seven or eight FATES for the final step on my first one?

Also getting a ton of alex drops.

I can totally have this done by this weekend.

Poverty twine added to CT is music to my ears.

Any impressions on Chocobo racing? How is the track design? I'm reading it's laggy, but that may be on purpose since the chocobos are but low level steeds at this point.

I called two things correctly:

Last Zodiac Step will be fairly easy to make it up to players that have done it so far.

Twines would be available from the weekly Crystal Tower quest.

Three Spades also drops a Moogle card.

Triple Triad Master gave me a Spriggan card. Three Diamonds gave me a Scarface Bugaal Ja card.

Hi everyone!

I recently downloaded the free trial version on PS4 as i wanted to try this out. Have downloaded everything and all the updates.

when i launch the game it seems to know i have a square-enix account (which i guess i created when i bought ffxiv on ps3 when that launched) and it forces me to log in to this acc, doesn't even give an option to create a new acc or select something to say this isn't my acc. I logged in after resetting passwords and i just get a message no valid service account is available to play ffxiv.

My thought process was along the lines of since i haven't owned it for ps4 i would be able to try it out. Am i getting this message due to my previous ps3 game? And if so does that mean i am not able to try on PS4?

Yes and yes respectively, since you've already had a trial. Maybe they will have another free weekend to show off gold saucer though!

I was sure the next Zodiac step was going to be awful to make sure people kept their subs through Heavensward. Glad to see them scale it back a bit.

Fair enough i guess. If i buy the 30 day £8.99 option off the square enix website, do i need to stay with the character i created originally (got no idea what it was), or can i create a new character?

I went to work one hour latter, gave me enough time to unlock the quests and do the practice TT and choco racing. It's even worse this way.
Can't even remote play during lunch break.

But the forecast here tomorrow is calling for multiple inches of snow, and The South doesn't know how to handle that, so day off for everyone!

Telecommuting FTW.

2 Mahatma down, 10 to go. Garuda spam takes, like,a third of the time of FATE farming. Depending on how good I am at alternating between work and Garuda massacre I could potentially grind this thing out today.

My wife convinced me to work on our Relic weapons, so a few questions for you beautiful and helpful people:

1 - Is it even possible to go from Zenith to Zeta before the expansion?
2 - I'm a BRD and she's a SCH. I was looking at our optimal Novus build and it's actually the same: 44 Crit and 31 Det, the most expensive thing ever! Should me try that or is there any cheaper version that's also great?

Thank you :)

On the first point, We still have 2.5 part 2 in late March so I'm more than sure anyone can get from Zenith to Zeta by the expansion. It's all about how much time you put into it of course but it is possible.

If playing actively but not all day
Atma+Animus take up about 2 weeks
Novus might take anywhere from a few days to a bit over a week depending on how lucky you get with fates and or hunts.
Nexus takes maybe a week or under if you catch good windows
Zodiac takes 1-2 weeks depending on your luck
Zeta takes ten hours.

All in all a couple of months.
Some people nolifed it hard and went from Zenith to Zodiac in 1 week but I presume that's not an option for most.

If you haven't been doing it all along at this point I can't call a relic anything but a thing-to-do-if-nothing-else.

I just woke back up, looks like my character was stuck all night. Going to try again soon, but quick question - What happens if you lose Triple Triad against an NPC or PC? Do you lose anything like your existing cards?

Nope, only thing we lose is MGP (the match fee whenever you challenge an NPC)

Tonight. Shiva spam. Lessgo.

I need light.

Eh I dunno. I could go all in with seals on alexandrite now that they have poverty twine which would give me a good i110 weapon by the end of the week. Even if I cheap it and go crit/det/acc that would still be better than Shiva i115 taking into account the secondary stats right?
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
I'm just throwing coins away trying to beat NPCs at Triple Triad.
