The samurai stuff from those raids is fully sick in the abstract but I just couldn't tolerate the clipping on the big shoulders on the chest for DRK. Maybe I'll go back to it...it's so cool to be more samurai than SAM. I want the Anemos versions of some job 70 gear, because those are the dyable versions. Can I get those with a quick trip in Eureka or am I in for a long haul? Never even unlocked Eureka.

Maybe I'll go back to it...it's so cool to be more samurai than SAM. Just the Anemos stuff isn't too bad. It's still a grind, for a full set you need 3000 Protean crystals and 750 Anemos crystals. Those come from regular enemies and fates respectively, and you'll have to grind up elemental level. But you don't have to mess around with the other areas of Eureka and you don't need to push the relic weapon like you do for Elemental armor.

I'd personally love to see the capstone dungeon roulette get split in half next expansion. Also to see Crystal Tower get its own roulette so I can never do it again.

Do I want to be focusing heavily on chain eureka enemy kills or fates for the crystals cuz I feel like I'm getting 1 every few kills and that's not gonna work out

If you really wanna maximize then you wanna chain stuff that’s higher than you and break off when profitable NMs are reachable But most people don’t do that and elect to hop NMs as their main focus, leaving chaining for challenge log stuff

"looks good in screenshots" and "looks good in motion" are two separate things for glams that only overlap by coincidence or a lot of effort.

Hopping NMs once you're high enough level to do so is the more fun part of Eureka. Once I'm at that point I only fight normal enemies when working on spawn conditions.

Hey you're right this ain't so bad with the NMs. I am not getting tons of XP now that my log is done but the crystals are good and I got a bunch of Anemos clothing worth tens of thousands on MB.

The secret is to muscle through until you get to Pyros, at which point you can reflect farm to shoot up in levels absurdly quickly

Because gently caress you. Ideally you'd wait until 25 so you've got access to the third aetheryte too, because the zone is laid out in a way that you basically need to teleport around if you want to hit the NMs in time.

Im trying to get a heap of jobs into the 50-70 range prior to starting endwalker (varying based on how much I like them). Now that Im in a level range where I can easily solo Bahamut, is there any reason to burn poetics on ironworks weapons rather than a 5 min Baha-blast?

Weapons are good for leveling, reduces your TTK by a few seconds per enemy when you're soloing or dungeon delving with a party. Basically it really depends on how you're leveling your 50s. If you're doing a lot of Duties then Ironworks weapons are a nice upgrade from whatever trash you had before that. If you're doing weird poo poo like PoD or guildhests then no you won't need them.

Except you don't need to spend a bunch of poetics on them. So no, I think the raid drops are just as good as Ironworks and you don't need to get those.

sell them for pocket change, stuff them in a retainer if you might pick up crafting later and don't have any other use for the inventory space, or just dump them

If you're free trial you can't use the MB but if you're not then the MB may surprise you. Some early items are valuable because they're used in bulk to push past certain crafter windows, or needed to advance the window at all. Boar hide comes to mind. The tooltip of an item will show if it can be found on a vendor and how much it sells for to npc vendors, so even 50 gil a piece can beat 2 gil vendored. If an item says it is sold by a vendor but is like 216 gil(limited) it should potentially sell well, the limited means it has a time gate component like advancing beast tribe reputation. The crafting vendor easy mats window closes shortly after 15-20 or so, and boar leather is the LW common material for the 25-30 window and so on. There are also many, many monster drop windows that slow down ALC especially in later expansions. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Nov 1, 2022 |

If you wanna know WHAT they're used for, you can just google the item and the official wiki will tell you. (Though not how useful or pointless that something it's used for is.)

I just do a few clears with my friends who hit 50 of t11 - 13 for the weapon and right side pieces. 2 90s can knock out 12 and 13 almost instantly.

Yeah, the "show recipes" option is a godsend In general, hides usually sell really well -- Leatherworking needs a ton of them, and they're not completely trivial to acquire in bulk. Other mob drops vary, but it's always worth checking the MB.

does rclick -> show recipes show everything or just the stuff you personally can make? might not be useful if you don't have the crafters up

Correct. It will show every recipe, but if you follow up with the "search for item by crafting method" option that will only show you results in your crafting window based on your own level and unlocked recipes. So you can check what recipes use the thing, but you can't check how many things and what else is required (without going to third party sites and possibly tools), if you can't craft the item yourself.

I knew there was something screwy with looking up crafts. Maybe they'll change that someday because I can't think of a reason it's helpful to anyone hide mat info

Edit: And the band-aid solution of using a Retainer to fish stuff up for you still doesn't resolve the issue that you need to find the stuff in the first place before your retainer can get it for you, or that the other 95% of what you'll fish up while leveling them is loving useless. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Nov 2, 2022 |

I was teaching my sprout friend about gearing and where to buy Poetics and stuff, and some jackass lunatic barges in and legitimately suggests using pentamelded IL115 crafted instead of Ironworks??? Even if that is stronger, it'd have to be by like, what, 1%? Not to mention if you get level-synced down it just ignores your materia entirely and gives you stats based off the duty's max item level instead, which would be everything until Snowcloak when they'll have outleveled it all anyway! Needless to say I chewed him out and shut down any notion that you should go and spend hundreds of thousands of gil on crafted gear and materia melding instead of using the effectively free tomestone gear that's better in at least 99.99% of all situations
