That's a bit rich considering one of the mods is usually involved in it.

Yes, the grind returns for the souls of men, catgirls and giants everywhere.
T9 is absolutely more efficient (provided the likelihood of consistently getting good groups). Relic is not designed to be efficient, accessible or anything like that. It's designed with one thing in mind only, to waste your time for increasingly diminishing returns. Weapon Damage (read: item level) is such a superimportant stat that provided you're hitting accuracy caps on classes that need it you're gonna do absolutely fine with any weapon of an appropriate item level. That's just how how the game is designed. Relic is hardly anything more than vanity and something-to-do at this point especially considering the ever-increasing game time requirements needed to make it adequate (animus books were straight up buffed now, arguably) so no, it isn't worth it unless you absolutely need to minmax.
^ This,
The relic line is absolute bullshit to keep you busy. I gave up after Animus but yet i had to luxury to get T9 weapon and very soon a Poetics weapon and in about 6 weeks i'll be able to sand it.
Its a solution to get a equal weapon but it will take you weeks and weeks of grinding to get it till Nexus.
For as someone who plays prob 6 hours a week and thats all raid time a Relic isnt possible.

Don't sweat it, bro.
But relic allows you to customise your secondary stats. That's worth something, especially since the game does not have a good selection of equipment for you to choose the stats that you want on your gear.
I don't think some of the newer people realize or understand that this OT needs Nuada.
He's the Tiduz of the OT. Reading his posts is like the newspaper with your OJ
Now Lego my eggo
I'll say, I personally prefer reading and watching his interactions with Qhon and others than the same few people bragging about coil loot, to me they're both the same, atleast Nuada and the responses he gets are entertaining.

Please don't view this thread as indicative of the atmosphere on Ultros. In my experience in GAF FC chat and just in general player interaction it is a very friendly and helpful community.

Yeah, t9 weapons are great and all, but what happens if you've cleared it 20+ times and still don't have a weapon?

2.5 sec global cool down feels really off on the monk for me. I can't enjoy the class at all. I think I need to pick a class that in my mind wouldn't be a lightning fast attacker.
In all fairness, there are absolutely trolls and jerks in the GAF FC. They're everywhere, so it's inevitable, and leadership act if they get too bad (RIP "kill yourself" lady), but random flare-ups of bickering in the OT aren't out that out of character. It's generally easy to avoid, though, because it is the vast minority of the group, and once you get the handful of people to ignore or disregard down it's pretty worthwhile overall.
Avoiding mumble helps, since people seem to be more free-wheeling with shit talking when there's no chance of screenshotting.

Every FFXI Mythic Weapon owner would like to tell you to cry more.
To be honest, I don't see it too much in game. Maybe I'm just missing it but people seem to be much more at each other's throats here in the OT. I think it's probably because the people who post here are the progression raiders who tend to be more on edge. But there's a whole other group of learning/casual players that aren't represented on the OT really at all. I also don't go into mumble too much, so not sure about that.

Why would you get gear that you don't think would be usable in Final Coil? You are better off getting Magitek and the occasional coil drop, with crafted gear filling in anywhere that it is needed. It doesn't make sense to grind out pvp.

Green Cat Lightning?
I hear Drama is going to the next fanfest dressed like this.
PvP is fun though
But then who would I go to for fish destruction?

$15 per month with multiple character slots, goes down in price as you buy more months at once. The other option is $13 per month with just the one character slot.
It's 100% more fun when they can hear it.
- Entry £7.69/€10.99/$12.99 - 30 day (more limited number of characters)
- Standard £8.99/€12.99/$14.99 - 30 day
- Standard £8.39/€11.99/$13.99* - 90 day
- Standard £7.69/€10.99/$12.99* - 180 day
Honestly I'd prob just take the entry if I didn't have legacy pricing, there's literally no reason to have more than one character in the vast majority of cases unless you really really like running coil more often. It's one character per server totaling 8 iirc on entry vs up to 40 on the others.
The couple of times I spent any length of time idling in the mumble lobby, it was specifically not about people in the room, and didn't seem in the spirit of good-natured ribbing. Which on the one hand is probably inevitable in any game and not in and of itself a big or notable deal, but on the other I was generally happier not actually knowing it goes on. Ignorance is bliss, and all.
yea but the entry and the 180 days are the same amount of money so...why not ?
Because one requires a month long commitment and the other is assuming you're going to actively play for six months. I'd suggest going with the entry level one to start, and if you find yourself convinced you like the game enough for the long haul, go nuts with that six month sub.
True, plus I think you get the fat chocobo out the gate if you roll 180, your choice homie. If you're prepped to jump that long into the game then go for it, shit's dope except for the fact that next week they're letting cats marry cats. Otherwise great.
You get 30 days free out the gate, check around for any cyber Monday/black Friday whatever sales left over. It was as low as like 10 bills from what I saw.
Looking around, it's $10 on GameStop download. Though I just noticed the "downloadable to US addresses only" bit and have no idea how that is even a thing.
Toriyama please
While I love everyone in mumble as someone who used to frequent it, attitudes and the general contempt for the casual player/community at large has becone so unbearable that I just stopped logging in anymore. Not sure how it's been during angaray's time as I don't think I've ever been in there with her.
I'm a filthy casual.
A more accurate description of Mumble lobby from the past week:
"I got a mooch!"
"Oooooooooohhhh! I GOT IT!!!!!"
"FUCK, IT GOT AWAY!"
"I'm going to catch your weakened fish."
"Heatwaves coming at 4PM."
"What bait do I need, guys?"
"Which fish you going for next?"
"I'm going to bed. Good luck with fishing."
"Good night, Drama."

Well you keep trying. I'm at 36 and there's still one more item I want. Took 25 just to get →High Allagan Pantaloons of Healing. RNGesus can be awful.
Just barely. When you consider time investment versus returns, well, suddenly just getting a couple more poetics pieces instead sounds like a better prospect.
You actually give up, stop running it till it's irrelevant and then when you help your new FC mates through it, you see it drop. By then you don't want it and you're left to ponder why the RNG hates you so.
It took me 32 shoes to go from 99.99 LTW desynth to 100. I don't want to think about the number of fish between me and max level.
GCD goes down as you level slash gear up your characters. This is especially true for Monks and Ninjas, as they have innate Skill Speed buffs. Mind you, I don't play either class at endgame, so I don't know how low their GCDs go.
