Congratulations! Welcome to endgame ❤️ What did you think of Dawntrail as an expansion?
I thought it was good! It kept moving forward, wasn't super predictable, and kept things relatively light-hearted... until they didn't.
That's a good summary 😂 Personally I'm excited with what they do with all the new threads they've started to drop, but I hate the wait between patches 😭
Also as a (reformed) FFXI player I'm very much looking forward to the 7.1 patch though and the first of the FFXI Alliance Raids.
- Finished all the Dawntrail role quests!
- Recertified as omni-mentor.
- Found out I actually enjoy playing BLM in Frontlines! (Most of the time I PVP as DRG, so this is a big change in playstyle.)
Well done! 👏🏻 Have you managed to unlock mentor roulette as well or just the fancy crown? (This is me right now, I need to still do 4 of the 7 EW EX fights 😅)
I still have never tried Frontlines! My PvP experience is limited to Rival Wings (which I love but only ever pops during mog tome events) and Crystaline Conflict, and for that only in unranked. What's it like as a game mode?
Thank you! I have to do 3 EW EX fights myself — and even though I’ve unsynced most of the older extremes, I’d still like to go back and at least sync clear all of ARR and the Monster Hunter crossover since they’re likely to come up in roulette.
Frontlines is fun but a mess. It’s chaotic and how well you do comes down to whether or not there’s a shot caller to keep everyone on track. As an individual player, your best bet is to play defensively and stay with the group at all times. It pays really well though — there’s daily bonuses for both job and series XP, and you can level jobs by queueing in on them and then switching to whatever job you prefer for PVP at the start. There are Garo achievements linked to Frontline wins if you want those glams/mounts, too.
I finally leveled all combat jobs to 100. Today I'll try and get m1s-m3s reclears. I'm not very motivated to start m4s prog since I'm going on a trip next week and need to sort a few things beforehand.
Maxing all your combat jobs is still a massive achievement, well done! I have exactly 4 jobs at level 100 right now, the bare minimum I need to cover all 5 role quests 😅 (Scholar and Summoner both come from Arcanist, so you can argue it as 4 or 5 but I only had to level it once).
Finally got past Fusefield in M3S Prog (I love PF I love PF)
If you keep repeating it while rocking in the corner it might eventually become true... that or Stockholm Syndrome will kick in 😅
But congratulations regardless! I haven't got the time or inclination to try out Savage this tier 😅 And doing it in PF is achievement to be proud of... or a torture to survive through... but either way, well done 👍🏻
Finished my house! Might swap out a couple items once I get access to all the DT Bicolor Gemstone merchants, but for now, I'm very happy with it. Come visit on Exodus!
Congrats! I have nothing but respect for people who can make the housing system in this game do what they want it to 😊
Didn't know there was a Lemmy community for XIV, glad to help livening it up.
I finally got all crafters and gatherers to 100 and crafted myself a full set of gear and tools. Probably not gonna bother pentamelding since we're already so far into the tier but it's nice to have all that armoury space back.
Welcome! We're glad to have you here 😊
Definitely consider pentamelding your accessories though! 7.1 will likely only give us LHS gear so the accessories should be good for a couple of patches.
Failing that, just stock up on materia instead 😊
Good advice, I'm sitting on a bunch of old materia and should be able to do the "mid tier" melds from Teamcraft without spending much.
Something I realised too late to do anything about it was that I should have been stocking up on Vs and VIIs during the end of Endwalker. IXs less so because of Island Sanctuary, but I'm sure there were periods there after everyone already had their pentamelded Indagator gear where the price on those got cheap enough that it would have made sense to be buying them up in preparation for Dawntrail's launch.
Oh well, something to plan for this time around!
@Drusenija Panic-crafted a caster and a healing set on Saturday to help my BF's static with gear for flexing a role (SCH to SMN) and getting a substitute up and running (a friend who plays WHM), felt drained but accomplished afterwards.
Nearly got my alt through Dawntrail and managed to cap the weekly tomes after I hit 100 just a few hours before my bedtime, before weekly reset.
Oooh, I've been there for panic crafting gear 😂 Similar situation, we had someone drop out of a Savage static and had someone who could fill the spot but they weren't geared up for it. So I crafted the gear, another friend who was fairly involved in the hunt train scene and had materia to burn handled pentamelding it all and I think we had them geared up in under an hour. (Sadly that static fell apart before we cleared our first fight, but oh well).
Well done on capping your weeklies too 😊 In the grand scheme of things it's probably not going to hurt much if you don't but it's always a good feeling to have them maxed out.
I had organised a house design commission back in March, and the design was finished and delivered yesterday! Here's the video showcase the designer Sally Snow put together for it.
@Drusenija Woah, I'm completely blown away by this. It inspires me to see if I can recreate some of the techniques myself and adapt them to my style. Thanks for sharing <3
No problem! I still haven't fully worked out how it's all put together yet myself 😅 This was why I got the commission done; people who have worked out how to layer things together to make things that technically aren't in the game are wizards wielding black magic and you can't convince me otherwise.
