I will say that if you're looking at this and feeling overwhelmed, you're never gonna see more than like two or maybe three markers in a single fight outside of bespoke hard content, and the game's level progression is designed in a way that new mechanics will be introduced in either a low stakes easy fight or solo instance.

I'll say it. The gear that drops from the first three dungeons has better coloration than the brand new gear, and you're likely to get most if not all of it for your job on the MSQ from random drops plus the three guaranteed drops as the end of the dungeon. (tanks do not reply + you can glam on the dps set)

bewilderment posted:- Eureka, it sucks, I refuse to do it and you can't make me (you won't see this anyway until after Stormblood) eureka rules, actually, but like everything else in the game you can tackle it at your own pace instead of feeling like you have to rush through the entirety of it in as few days as possible. the content came out over a year and a half period and has weekly quests that let you get nice chunks of exp for a bit of your time. definitely give it a shot if you've finished stormblood and wanna see what it's about!

at the end of the dungeon a little notification will pop up (by default on the right side of the screen, where you get the duty pop notification/recommended quests). click on that and it'll open a window that'll let you select a person to commend. can only select one person though. you can also let them know in chat you had a good time.

at some point (I think in 4.1?) they changed the glamour prism unlock quest from a level 50 quest in revenant's toll to a level 15 quest in central thanalan, from the same npc that you unlock dyes from. you can pick up the quest on any class - the npc also offers a 3rd quest for level 15 crafters to teach them how to craft glamour prisms (finish the quest if you want, but it's generally inefficient to craft prisms from scratch).

tbh it's a lot shorter trek to go from north shroud, hug the left wall through coerthas to mor dhona than the other way to central thanalan. not that it matters since you will eventually run into the quest as you go through the msq as a matter of course.

The updates to Thornmarch Hard did update the fight in a way that if they ever went back to enable duty support it wouldn't requires as much work as it would have taken to leave it alone until later. The rest of the trials through probably only need a gentle massaging if they wanted to add NPCs to them. But also, not a priority for the devs at the moment! We'll see what they say in the lead up to 7.0.

my first run of every story dungeon has been with trusts/duty support since they first implemented the system in 5.0. it's handy for not immediately getting the kinda dude who's on their fifth run of the day for glam, or just to take in the environment more.

You know your own tolerance for battle effects, but for me personally fights feel empty without some amount of boom going on, so I typically set party to full and everything outside of that scope to limited or none.

tying the companion app to your account is free and grants the emote. for an additional fee you get a retainer, an additional favorite teleport, and some stuff in the app I've never actually heard anyone use e: the additional teleport is also free. my bad. subbing does get you a second chocobo saddlebag though.

the thing that surprised me the most when replaying the msq was the cutscene animation wasn't as good as I remembered it. there's some attempts like the shiva vs ravana fight, or the air battle before azys lla where you can tell they were trying some stuff out but not quite there yet. by 3.1 they start getting into a groove but it's still a bit dire before then.

orcane posted:But! Absolutely do run them through DF if you want to and know the above caveat. Do not give a gently caress about people getting mad their precious mentor roulette didn't give them a 2 minute guildhest, they know what they signed up for. It's not even about wasting a clueless mentor's time, more that it's about respecting your own. When the queue pops hours in and you get 6-7 mentors who are weighing their choices on abandoning immediately and maybe one other clueless newbie it's just a worse time than if you throw it up in PF where people are more than willing to jump in on a blind or teaching run.

not gonna go back and check if someone mentioned it already, but your light gains are affected by exp bonuses, so running the consumable that gives you a eureka exp bonus can make it go a little faster.

there's a set of challenge logs that dump a good amount of exp on you, so if you're not in a hurry just checking those off every week will eventually get you to cap. other than that, I think that eureka (and its little brother bozja) are really good sources of poetics if you wanna double up on farming for old cosmetics.

Worst I've heard about the SE app is that it'll force you to log in again if you change networks, which only really affects you if you're on Google Fi or a similar service. But also, yeah, they started letting players use any generic authenticator app a year or two ago so just use one of those.

Selachian posted:Any advice to someone who's brand new to Bozja? I headed over there because I eventually want to get one of the Resistance weapons 'cause it looks cool. Is there anything I should do other than run around and bash enemies until the good stuff drops? Orcs and Ostriches posted:You're going to get fragments and stuff from the enemies, that can be exchanged for lost actions. These are generally consumable abilities, although some have no limit, and can be extremely powerful. Use them. There's no point in holding on to them. Wanna add onto this a bit. Without getting too deep into the weeds, natural monsters (lions, snakes, plants and the like) drop fragments, while magitek and robots drop bozjan clusters. You eventually want clusters for various niceties especially if you want to make resistance weapons, but some of the most useful fragment you can get are Fragments of Awakening, which drop from monsters in the second region of Bozjan Southern Front (Old Bozja). Other than that, I'll let you know that the most annoying step for Resistance Weapons in 2023 is the Delubrum step, which'll be slog if you try to do it by yourself. Keep an eye out for PFs that are running the content, make sure you have Pure Essences stocked for the job you'll be running it on, and it should be a lot less painful. quick edit: since you said resistance "weapons" once the best things you can do to optimize your time spent is to stack up quests so you can progress them all at the same time. green memories can drop from normal monsters in southern front, and crystal memories can drop from CEs, both of which you'll be farming anyway to get more red/blue/yellow fragments for the first step.

also helps to remember that there's a hard line between what counts as flank and rear at the enemy's intercardinal positions. someone else probably has the image to clarify what I'm saying, but basically you don't have to run alllll the way between the targets rear end and shoulders to execute positionals.

tank responsibilities mostly amount to running a couple cooldowns on trash pulls and, in harder content, running cooldowns according to a schedule and knowing when to swap agro with your partner. boss positioning kinda matters but I think of it like how dps standing on the right places so they don't clip each other with attacks or whatever also matters.

the one change I'd like to see to hitboxes is to have thin lines at their rear intercards drawn in from the outer edge towards the center, to help guide people into hitting their positionals from closer in the boss's hitbox.

I'd assumed they'd rework the fight like they did with Ultima Weapon but since they didn't, I'm gonna guess that they're saving it for if/when they get around to adding duty support to post-2.0 trials.
