So I did a HM Ifrit run, main tanking, and died 3 times. I'm assuming it was the healer's fault considering I've done it about 6 times tonight without issue.

Somehow, after every single rez, I was able to get back up and snap aggro back to me permanently from the offtank.

After looking at his buffs, I realized why.

He wasn't using an oath. :smith:

Man, I want to start playing with a controller just so I can tell PUGs I'm doing so and watch them flip their poo poo. People get salty enough when you watch cutscenes or don't have perfect gear, imagine how pissed they'll be when you say you're tanking with a controller.

You don't even have to say it, most controller users are fairly obvious just from moving (you'll walk instead of run a lot on other players screens)

How are Gridanians assholes? They were described as isolationist and a bit xenophobic, but as a Conjurer they never seemed all that bad. They're weird, because of all the elemental appeasement they do so that the forest doesn't swallow them whole, but they seemed like pretty decent people to me. Is there a horrible dark side where they cast people out and they turn into bandits because there's no other way to survive?

Is it me or are there portions of areas that seem completely squandered? The evil sylph town, the place behind the big gates in the area where Aleport is, just about all of Outer La Noscea. Any of the beastman lands seem fully populated and unique but I don't think you ever go to any of them.

You invade them for your relic storyline; once to recover the ruined relic, and a second time to charge it with their aether (kill 24 beast men :v:)

Good King is the "god" of the Moogles. The thing that makes a primal a primal is that they're essentially immortal; get enough crystals and aether and you can bring them back as many times as you like.

End of storyline spoilers
It's also toyed at by Gaius that the Twelve are also primals; they'll come knocking as long as you give them the same materials used to summon primals

So why can't they give tomes and drop level-appropriate gear? Why does it have to be one or the other? I can't remember another MMO in history that literally had no loot drops for max level dungeons.
Because that gear would be immediately replaced by WP/AK gear, and it gives more tomes than any other dungeon at 50

Grr, my Bard friend is doing A Relic Reborn, and his materia (Heavens' Eye III) cost 4k gil each. Mine (Battledance III) cost 27k gil each :negative:

His weapon also costs 18k, while mine is 40k. Is this some supply and demand bullshit? I'm not sure whether I should drop almost 100k gil on this quest or attempt to actually do any crafting (which I've ignored so far because pressing number keys to make things is even more boring than pressing number keys to hit things)

Depends on how many 50 crafters you have.

HQ version of the WHM prerelic is 5k, materia is 20k on Leviathan
