I haven't ques for frontlines since the patch, unfortunately, time is limited lately so I chose not to spend it being salty over the derp that is flames
Are you doing Final Coil?Irrelevant if the content doesn't actually need it, and I'm definitely not doing Savage modes with the Free Company I have now.
The soldiery weapons are on par with their corresponding weapons in the relic questline, and the nexus isn't a big jump in weapon damage on it's own. I'd have to min-max the weapons stats on the relic for the difference to be noticeable, and that time and money could be better spent elsewhere. Like helping players who don't even realize the weapon has been optimized beyond belief in the first place.
The next step, assuming item level 120, would have to be very significant to make it worth the time. Basically it'd have to justify finishing the current steps of Novus and Nexus on my one weapon, and then justify the whole questline again for three more jobs. I'm sure we can both agree that isn't likely to happen.
Not regularly, no. Not a whole lot of groups on Adamanatoise are. Most (Read: less then 8 out of 100 people) of my fellow FC members will never make it past Turn 9 without nerfs.
Even if I was, I still wouldn't do the Zodiac questline. I'd aim for the 115s out of Turn 9 instead.
Also, I should probably clarify that I primarily play the tanks and healers at endgame anyhow.

I wish I bothered with my animus now. :/ Stupid books...
STUPID MATERIA!
STUPID MATERIA!
I'm now on my second to last book for Animus and this relic quest is really testing my endurance. Animus stage felt even longer than Atma. I don't think I have the money to buy the materia I need at the next stage so I don't even know why I am bothering but I'll keep pushing on I guess.
Books were easy compared to the prices for materia to get novus

i'm at slight aether activity. so half way? i'm never going to be up to date. zenith was the only useful relic stage for me. i never truly needed the weapon after that.
it sucks that i'm locked out of other classes/jobs until i finish it. it's just too slow and cruel if you go the casual way. you may never use another class.

That's exactly where I am atm. Gone too far to quit now! 41/75 T_T
Not worth it man...Went through 32 Savage Aim IV's... 13 mil Gil later and I have a complete HQ Kirimu Bard set pentamelded! I'll convert ilv 90 sets until I recoup the Gil I spent, then just chill until the expansion
welp
Guess I should finish my books this week and grind out light. Then I get to worry about doing Relic quest i120 twice
I have nothing else to do, daily roulette, Ixal Beast Tribe for Sealant and Provision missions. Next on my agenda is to get "Honest Gilionaire" but that's a time bottleneck, can't do anything about that.

when 13 mil is a drop in the bucket, everything is worth it
but the stat distribution!
It's mostly just for the long haul i135 Relic step eventually. Though, honestly, it probably doesn't even matter anyway...
To be fair I sold 11x Savage Might IV's to buy 14x of those 32... 10 I converted myself. Oh and it is worth it! Who else has an HQ Kirimu Coat with 5 IV's?
It is great that they acknowledged the first three T13 clears this time and the number of groups that cleared it so far. With 50 groups, it means that approximately 400 characters have beaten T13 out of however many active subscriptions - depending on character overlap between those 50 groups.
Looking forward to the next step in the Relic line, as much as I like my Bravura, I'm looking forward to seeing a model change. Admittedly though, I'm a little bummed over having to split secondary stats three ways on my Nexus, and that's probably forever going to haunt me a bit. I mean, Acc/Det/Crit certainly isn't bad, but I'd prefer going full Determination, and I just cannot afford that.
Also, got past the first add phase in T10 last night, would've gotten further, but the other tank didn't understand the tank swap mechanic and took enmity back instead of stacking for wild charge. Not a big deal, but somebody had to leave to attend their own group not long after that.
Fight seems very doable so far, though I'm going to have to rewatch videos a few more times to wrap my head around that last phase.

Final Coil?
I think by the time Dreadwyrm weapon is farmable Heavensward relic is gonna be the better option.

Coil is crazy talk when you have crafting.

I'm just not very coordinated for Coil, or scheduling raid times. I'd hate to be the reason for not progressing. Maybe if I can join a very casual team.
So, 2.45 is coming in the first half of December.
First half...
....wish they'd get more specific then that, but oh well.
It's difficult to progress on Coil after a certain point, if you're being casual about it. I mean, you can do the regular turns that way. 1-4, 6-8, and presumably 10-12, but the megaboss turns, 5, 9, and presumably 13, are going to take a fair deal of time to learn as a group regardless of your gear, or the amount of guides you read. There's just a lot more mechanics to learn in those turns, and getting a good feel for them all as a group will take time.

There's a pretty obvious shard farming bot in Central Shroud that I've reported for five days straight, and they're still there. Anyone know of other avenues to report this stuff other than the in-game Support Desk menu?

Only thing you can do is wait until they care. It's been reported multiple times in multiple threads on the OF that gms can't do anything about the bots and that reports are pretty much sent out to die unless it's a bad enough issue that it gets sent to someone else.
I still think frontlines is great fun.

easy to cap tomes. +5 levels since last patch. more interesting than dungeon farming for me. you also gain some light if you need it.
Poor BG.
Yeah, it scares me even thinking about it! My wife also seems to need something right when I'm doing a quest or dungeon... never mind a raid session.
Figures... last ilv 90 set gave me 4x Savage Aim IV's. Is there a reason Crawler Cocoons are 1K? The gatherers of Ultros are on vacation?
Frontlines was mentioned earlier. For high-ranking PVP players out there, some of the new i110 gear is very good. Many pieces have critical hit rate and determination as the two secondary stats. You can use these pieces for PVE, as you slowly build up the other slots with Poetics or Coil drops. Gear up alts right away with this method, since it would be a while until you spend Poetics on those classes.
I've often wondered about this actually. How much grinding does it take to be able to equip 110 pvp gear?
I desperately want to replace the utterly crappy soldiery gear I have on my Dragoon, not to mention the ST pieces that I'm still using, on account of the equivalent soldiery pieces being highly dubious upgrades.
At the same time though, it'll be at least two more weeks before I even consider spending Poetics on something other than my Warrior, and several weeks more to swap out the worst of the Soldiery/Syrcus Tower pieces.
Briefly thought about getting some crafted gear instead, but, that's far too much Gil for a class I only play occasionally.
Well, regardless, looking forward to CT3 for this reason. Always nice to have more options for gearing up alt classes, even if they're hidden behind a weekly loot lockout.
Not starting from scratch, but i forget what my rank is.
Regardless, considering the queue time for PVP-only, I'll probably run out of good tank poetics gear to buy, well before I got that max rank.
Well, that, and PVP is really only fun for me, when I'm doing it with people I know.
So two to three weeks.
