Yeah I dont really have much to talk about with FFXIV these days. Im still playing it, going for relics and titles and mounts, but for the most part Ive been playing other games lately. There will be things to talk about when Dawntrail gets here though.

Ayy got the Adenium from an Island box. Thats every island mount obtained.

p12s reclear. This healer advocated for eyes strat over anbs which is what the party was. They stood on top of me instead of using their eyes to adjust. Yeah eyes is totally the better strat, uh-huh.

Yeah I understand not enjoying the game anymore, Endwalker ended up being kind of a wash.

Yoshi blessed me with a Peerifool mount this week :3

I'm actually mad at the community right now for buying up all the store mounts.

I keep forgetting to do the new Manderville quests, should do that today.
Started Another Mount Rokkon last night. Didn't even get through the first boss in two lockouts. >_> Got to like 7% on the final pull though but idk when I'll get to go back in.

Got the variant dungeon mount plus one of the minions. Got all the cards.

Already got the secret BLU weapon. It's not hard at all. If you haven't done Carnivale 32 yet, some general tips, you need Bad Breath to interrupt the blizzard cast. You need Ram's Voice + Ultravibration to kill the Jelly add. You need Loom to escape the line aoes in during the gravity mechanic. In order to complete the achievement for the weapon, you need to use one spell of every element plus a physical attack. You cannot use sprint. You cannot kill the crystal. It's not as bad as it sounds, you have 30 minute to do it, it will take about 10. Once the crystal spawns, you have to spam sharpened knife, and keep J Kick, Triple Trident and Phantom Flurry on cooldown. Some people say you also need Enfeeble me Tender, which you'll get that anyway if you're properly kitted out to play BLU. Apparently you CAN take vuln stacks in phase 1 but idk if that's true or not, but people are reporting they're getting the achievement with vuln stacks.

Because BLU isn't a "full" job so in some cases taking a BLU can be seen as dead weight. But if played properly, BLU is actually ridiculously strong. Best time to play BLU is right when it gets updated.

Also won a Twine and raid chest tonight. All I need is one more Twine and I'm BiS. :D

Got BLU to 80, something like 20 new BLU spells, already got all of them, you do NOT need to complete the class quests to get the new Whalaqee totmes, you get the artifact set before the new Carnivale mission opens up. I tried the Carnivale for a bit. Got through phase 1. Not really sure what I need to do to complete phase 2, but I'm tired and I have raid tonight so I'll work on that tomorrow.

Oh nice! I still need to do that >_<

Got the rank 25 series mount. 187

I hit 50/100 Onsal Hakair victories :0 I've won like 7 times today. Usually when I try this I just lose for 5 hours straight.

6.45 is out next week :0

Cleared p11s \o/

I think I have a pretty good shot at clearing 11s and starting 12s tonight. 5 weeks to clear 10s, 2 lockouts to clear 11s. :P 10s is awful.

So I did a Verminion Tournament yesterday. 14/15 victories. Got 110k MGP from it this morning. Got the lifetime 10,000,000 MGP achievement, and bought the Blackjack mount!

Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III is out December 19!

Got the Zodiark kitty :3

Finally cleared 10s x_x That took waaaaaaay too long. But I got a bracelet from 9s, and a shine, and the boots in 10s so I got a lot of gear tonight. Everyone tells me 11s is WAY easier.

Nobody told me there was a cool blue tiger from Eureka Orthos.
I neeeeeeeed it

I got the Wolf of Easy Street title finally \o/

The XIV subreddit is still in blackout mode. But I need Sewer-Rat to tell me how to set up my workshops. ;_;

Moon-hopper mount get

So far what I've seen of Savage, dps checks are very very lenient, but fights are more mechanically demanding and faster. I think I might actually prefer this. Last couple tiers the fights just dragged on and on and often times had long stretches were little was happening.

Yeah I basically had to run like 20 instances in a few hours, it was a LOT of FF, then I had to raid for 3 hours after I was done.

Just spent all day farming tomes to buy two gear pieces before raid tonight x_x

Oh wow, the G-Warrior battle from 5.3 was kind of a prototype for the Eikon battles in FFXVI

Why does so much of the new Maiming gear have SkS.
Who hurt you Yoshi?

Got the Squidzure Dragoon title from Ocean Fishing.

Woops I lost my house since I had been unsubbed for a few months. I thought they halted the housing timer, guess not. Oh well.

Im not, Im too addicted to Zelda

Yoshi-P playing Zelda. :')

Bump

I'll return to the game soon. Just taking a break, which has been nice, but I'm itching to play again.

FF7R probably did, I don't know about Crisis Core. I don't really know anything about their gacha games.

Apparently somebody already solod Eureka Orthos

Matsuda is out as president of Square Enix. Hopefully that means theyre trying to turn the company around? Theyve just had failure after failure lately. Its literally XIV and their mobile gacha games keeping the company afloat.

Ran Euphrosyne twice this morning. Didnt win a single thing despite rolling in the 90s :|

Got my last Manderville weapon yesterday \o/

Wow finally got the Wind-up Azeyma

https://gamerant.com/final-fantasy-14-gshade-mod-twitter-trend-developer-malware/

If you use gshade, the developer put malware inside of it that can force shutdown your PC. There are guides online on how to safely uninstall it from your computer.

Nice! Every Fan Fest I'm always hoping they announce the third volume, and they never do it lol. But I'm hopeful this year that Vol. 3 will come out and it will cover everything from the second half of Stormblood through 6.3 or so.

So you got the lorebook?

Yoshi is very disappointed. He even threatened to end the development and release of high end content if cheating scandals continue.

Of course TOP world first was cheated. :P And the same group claimed Abyssos world first so that's probably not real either.

Apparently nobody has cleared Ultiamate yet because the third phase of the fight gives you a bunch of buffs. In fact it gives too many buffs and you hit the buff limit. So then party buffs can't go out. Then you can't do enough damage to meet the dps check.

Allagan Melon get \o/

I should probably ask Auric to teach me Chocobo racing, that would maybe help with the MGP grind. >_>
