Hrm, I think I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something. I tried a few times and kept having early deaths; Y'shtola doesn't seem to be healing enough even with a bit of an assist from Aphinaud and Mog. I also think I'm not dealing damage fast enough (avoiding using my AASB/syncs in P1); I ran into enrage pretty soon after he killed a couple of my guys and I think he was still above 90%.

Oh actually I guess I can't read; his self-buff is DEF/RES/MND so I guess PS wouldn't counter it anyway. Maybe Mog takes dispel then and Y'shtola takes haste.

Yeah the team is Mog/Y'Shtola/Alphinaud/Papalymo/Yda, but it doesn't seem like any of them can spare the spot. It really seems like I want Curada/Dispel on Y'shtola and HA/PS on Mog since Lahabrea does a full buff+proshellhastega, and if I give it to Alph he'll have barely any ability uses since summons get penalized in hones for some reason.

I guess Papalymo could take dispel instead, but then nothing's linked to one of his sync commands (and I have no awakening for him, so I'll also probably run out of hones).

So I'm looking at the FFXIV DB and trying to figure out how to fit all of the relevant abilities onto characters. It looks like Y'shtola doesn't have a proshellhastega G+ but does have a haste+shell+regen glint, whereas Mog doesn't have haste on his G+. But I also seem to want both his HA and Passionate Salsa on Mog, and Curada/Dispel on Y'shtola. So is my only option here to grab her glint? Using a bar on that at the beginning of the fight seems like it would leave me unable to heal for too long.

Congrats on the Wodins!

Almost done with all of the 5* magicite; just Typhon and Ark left. I'm getting increasingly lazy putting together teams, only diving Desch for Geosgaeno (with Alphinaud picking up the slack); doubt that will work whenever I get to Leviathan! I'm assuming Rem will wreck Ark, but Typhon might be annoying.

I'm now almost completely out of 3-5* wisdom motes though, so I guess it's time to beat up some vegetables

Welp wind magic is probably my best elemental team, so maybe I can at least pick off some of the % rewards off of sandworm...

Considering the following USBs for my stamp select:

-Lenna USB4: have her sync but nothing else, one of my Lab healers
-Relm USB3: have cleared 450 torment for VI, so might try DB at some point; can actually afford to bring Deuce here though since Mog is in-realm
-Yuna USB5: she and Sarah appear to have the two healer USBs that won't be in the shop by the next update, and my X, while not fantastic, is definitely better than my I
-Vanille USB4: my XIII is looking pretty good now; might be another DB possibility

Some that seem quite useful but are currently lensable:
-Y'shtola USB2: XIV is definitely looking like my most plausible DB; unless I pick it here I will probably lens and try to clear before the fest mission goes away
-Elarra USB1: have awakening, lab healer, Core also one of my best realm teams

Yeah the relic itself does look like a fine sync and letting me bring Mog to VIII stuff is definitely a win in and of itself

Because I lack the self control to actually save mythril I did four more of my 15 mythril pulls

I: three glints and a Sarah USB

IX: Garnet AOSB and Eiko proshellga G+ (I actually have a ton of Eiko relics now)

Ice: Rinoa AASB and Cater's second AASB!, Noel USB, Laguna LM. Cater's AASB2 seems to be another full break counter if I'm reading it correctly?

Lightning: OMG, Lightning sync!!!!

Got wind-weak dark Odin down!

Missed the sub-30 by half a second, but I guess there are no rewards for that?

Anyway, I know the 6* magicite active abilities are substantially better than 5* ones, but do I immediately replace one of the 5*s with the level 65 6*? And if so, is it the dampen 5* that I'm replacing, e.g. Syldra-->Titan etc?

Finally picked up Mogs HA. I was thinking of honing his awakening, but for some reason I thought scrolls of honing gave two levels instead of one; I only have like 30k rank 1 lenses so that would force me to use a lot of 2s or 3s :/

Tried fire weak Odin again and once again ran out of steam and got destroyed in part 3. Maybe Ill try again with wind since Wedge and Alph actually have multiple cap breaks.

Actually I guess another possibility is that I could replace Gogo with Yda since Odin allows mixed teams? Gogos not doing much besides his awakenings entry buff (which I can put up with Mogs USB anyway)

Yeah I've been doing all of the gift dungeons and have been farming crystal dungeons, but at like 6-7 crystals per 70 stamina it's pretty slow. I've also been making a ton of abilties as I put together new teams, and typically hone them to r3 unless there's an immediate reason to go beyond that.

Got Odin down to about 30% with Papa/Terra/Gogo/Deuce/Mog; probably could have gotten a bit farther without Mog/Gogo dying partway through. Another issue was that I was running out of ability uses; honing stuff to r4 or 5 costs so many crystals, though!

Edit: How much harder are the extreme trials, at least for ARR?
Uhh I actually don't know for ARR since I've never done them synced (except for Shiva unreal, which I think is closer to sync + min item level).

Generally though for extremes you need to actually know the mechanics (unlike for normal/alliance raids where the group can typically deal with rezzing people who fuck up as much as is required). There can be some deaths, but there will be actual dps checks. Similarly most of your group will need to be doing something approximating a correct rotation, especially if you're not massively outgearing the fight.

1) Why does casting gear always sell for more? Or is this just a Midgarsommr thing?
In my experience casting, fending, and healing all sells pretty well. Aiming and striking are okay, and maiming and especially scouting suck. I think it's mostly just a function of how many classes can use the gear/how many people use those classes.
