Call me nitpicky but I think the Wyrm Armor Set looks better than the Drachen Armor set despite having the same overall design. But looking at Frumix' post it's probably not worth the grind.
Is this the reason why you need much more Allied Seals now to get i100 equipment from the Hunt Vendor? To prevent new players from gearing up too fast? (not criticizing it, just pure curiosity)
Odd numbered patches are for catch up and will make old tier gear cheap and easy to get; 2.5 should do to the sold gear what 2.3 did to myth gear since by that point everyone will have outfitted their main class in poetics stuff and CT3 will we assume drop i120 gear. Right now sold gear is still somewhat relevant.
Googled the Augmentation stuff and saw the requirements. I don't think I can afford that but thanks for the info anyway
I see. Seems like I started with the wrong patch to do all the catch up but I won't complain since I am having a lot of fun with this game.
it's not so bad as all that--soldiery isn't as free-flowing as myth was last patch but you should get it at a decent enough clip to gear up (the only daily I ever do is trial roulette and I've still somehow accumulated enough soldiery in a couple weeks to fully outfit an alt class with a ton left over so it's got to be coming from somewhere.) There's also Syrcus Tower for unlimited i100 and the freshly nerfed T6/T7 for relatively easy i110 gear. It's a bad time if you want the specific myth gear look, I guess, but personal progression should be okay.
Things right now are just paced to still take some small amount of time/effort to get to i110; next patch will be focused on getting more people overgeared to get them into Final Coil and the old stuff will flow freely since it won't at all matter at that point.
Truth to be told, gearing a job from scratch can take some time in 2.4. As someone pointed out, things should be easier in 2.5.
Now, Crystal Tower 2 is still a good place for getting ilvl 100 gear and tokens used to improve martial equipment. On the other hand, we are talking about a 40min raid.
T6 and T7 are great opportunities to get i110 stuff, and once again tokens. But whereas you can enter CT2 with a weak equipment, this is not the case for these, and despite being nerfed the party still need to know the strategy perfectly to avoid wipes (not to mention you have to down T5 beforehand). On the subject of T1 to T5, T1 and T2 became so easy it would be a mistake to not farm those if you still need ilvl 90 gear. Caduceus is a joke now.

Well you shouldn't be playing the game with the goal of gearing up for end game at least
Perfection wasnt necessary before either. Seen plenty of parties get a stoned member, only to go on and clear.

I think it's more just about the grinding needed. Pretty much everything you could do in the game will require some form of grinding.
even GAF can do them!
We had attempts with "lol Shrieked everyone" that still got the clear. That should say a lot. Still haven't done T6 post-change but it should be hilarious.
That said, I'd imagine the fights still being a bit of a learning curve for people who have never experienced the fights at all. They're a lot easier to recover / a lot easier to do with only a few people who know the fight but they still do have some parts that people should be aware of (e.g., T7's melee adds still hurt, Fireball is still an issue).

Those T7 Gaf runs were...a thing.
I'm not trying to play right now so I'm sure it's all right as rain.
doing a ping -t says the servers are fine, and they look like they've been fine for the morning. Of course since its a DDoS attack I'm sure it'll come back the second we get into T10 tommorrow

played for an hour or two earlier. no issues.
Eh, no one is rolling on that stuff anymore. I keep seeing it drop to the floor rip.

Has been fine so far
It seems to be going down in the PST evening every night so far. Never had issues during the day.
When your question is "Could Blood for Blood be the reason you died?" the answer is always yes.
Of course it does. The shield has to block 100% of prey damage. Blood 4 blood adds 25% more damage so that's 25% more that adlo/SS/both need to block. Prey is, I think, 700 damage on me with nothing up as a BLM for reference.

These tales of beating T9 in DF...I want to see them because the groups I get in, cannot get past meteors!

Like seeing that internet connection on WTFast all over the place when this happens.
Fucking ridiculous.

It doesn't seem to be as wide spread this time.
It was Tanaka.
I guess you were lucky being with experienced people 'cause honestly it's not that easy for people who have never done it before. I was trying it with a learning party this evening and it's a good stiff challenge even with nerfs. Obviously people that have been practicing a harder version for months would think differently.
It's f**king great though. It's a really awesome fight and I'm glad they have democratised it for the masses. I think they did a good job because I'm not ashamed to say that it's no cake walk for me. I reckon Twinatania's a cake walk compared to this but maybe I just need to get used to the mechanics. It's just so fast, claustrophobic and hectic and then it's - STOP - okay go. Ha ha. Love it.

It was a super long shot but I was hoping to get some practice in DF in T9 since I didn't have enough experience with the last phases to get into a farm group. Sadly all the group did was fail at meteor placement or watch 3-4 people eat dynamo. Will have to find some other way I suppose!
This takes me back. I miss Yennaiv and Mira.
Could be worse... you could have wiped on T12 at .02% ;-;.

Dont worry, Pel and I keep the terrible internet dream alive with our group still!
Yeah, and we've already cleared it before, just doing weekly farm (which after only 1 clear takes a couple attempts at least, which we haven't gotten cause of this fucking internet shit), so it's not that bad.
Also this is so frustrating. Every week at minimum someone in our group has internet issues. Either lags or 90k's or outright disconnects.
XIV's servers have been pretty poor since patch tbh. We had our fair share of issues as well. :/
