Definitely get up on this, my fellow Aussies!

High level crafting is breaking my brain, even with the help of teamcraft. I just don't have a enough stats?? But in order to get better stats through gear, I need more stats to craft the gear that gets me better stats???? And I'm only trying to get lvl 90 gear rn, not lvl100, w/o the MB!!

Where do folks get those stats overlays for your WoL screenshots? :0c I see them every so often, but no one ever links to what they use. Like, it has all the jobs and the ones you have can be highlighted/colored, your main, your playstyle for the game, youre msq progress, etc. Is everyone's custom?

I hope this is clear enough.

the post said not to summarize buuuuuuuuut~

THE FIRST RULE OF FFXIV IS

Minor annoyance with the recent Dawntrail patches. Why the fuck is Galool Ja still in rags??? Original!Sphene got a fuckin makeover immediately. But the good little bean king is STILL IN RAGS?!

Now that I'm resubbed, I should... do things. I'm not entirely sure what is actually interesting to me at the moment. All the new "exploratory regions" like OC and CE are too... grindy, and honestly not engaging enough. All the other things I would want to catch up on, no one's doing bc it's "old".

Almost losing my house because I hadn't resubbed in a month was something. 😅😐

Started up an alt WoL (another one bc why), doing a healer start, and finally got to Sastasha ... Tank's first time tanking. So being supportive and they do a biiiig pull and I'm like YEAH rolls up sleeves --they drop like a sack of bricks. ...weird. -checks their gear- ✨all lvl1 glam✨ 🤣😂

pure evil

The M8 raid (Cruiser M4), with Howling Blade is ROUGH. Even more so when you have to effectively predict aoes because youre not on the same continent as the Data Center and they're tight. Also ffffuck the pillars. For casual content, it's really not that far from savage levels.

Cosmic Exploration is one hell of a grind when you're levelling a crafter. :'D ...well, it's a grind in general, but that's just crafting/gathering. Haven't done DoH/L stuff in a while and eughhh I'm feeling it. Also feels like the credit gain is....very slow? I get needing pacing but damn.

LIVE LETTER TODAY WHERE ARE OUR HATS!?

Doing shared fates in old areas is -so tedious- kicks and screams at least in the Dawntrail shared fates they broke up the last 60 into two further parts. Felt more like you were actually making progress with 30 rather than trying to get -60 fates dones-.

I kind of really really really want this to be kind of canon, like how we have Midgardsormr. ;v; I want Niddy to be a tsundere little shit

I have a couple of extra alts, that I grab event stuff for when I remember to. On one, I also spent some time progressing MSQ (ARR so it's just slow) and I was struck by how distant everything is when you don't have flying. And also how so many areas don't feel /barren/ anymore, post plant update.

Thinking about the fact that you never -truly- fought Nidhogg. What you fight is figuratively and then literally a shadow of him, a true dragon of the first brood. (also it was pointed out that the dragons are truly powerful because Midgardsormr arrived /post-sundering/ )

Always looking forward 🐺 #FFXIV #Hrothgar #FFXIVgpose #FFXIVHrothgar

It would be nice if the devs made opposing versions of the Hrothgar starter gear. But only purchaseable? Or craftable? Not cash-shop, tho. So a female Bozjan gear version and a male Turalian gear version. ( Biased bc I just want a male version of the incredible Turalian gear the femroths have. 😭 )

[ #wolqotd What languages, either real world or otherwise does your WOL/OC speak/read? ] Guld understands Common ofc, with Bozjan as his mother tongue. Probably picked up some Garlean while his family migrated to avoid occupation and some Roegadyn due to where they settled. 🤔

Oh, just realized I didn't grab the mochi serpent from the new year event before my sub ran out and I took it as a break. :c Ah well. Wasn't all that keen on anything else, so. ...is it just me or are the rewards lately incredibly low bar? Or is this more normal and we just got great stuff in EW?

-sees shorts/memes on new players not having enough gil to teleport- ...how? The game literally throws money at you. Do your daily rolos, at the very least. Get that daily bonus. Join any FATEs on your way to quest points. Don't just sell your monster drops to vendors, check the marketboard first.

Been giving Guild Wars 2 a go here and there and I feel like I've been spoiled by XIV. 😂😅 I have no real idea what I'm supposed to be -doing-? So I've just kind of aimlessly done -things-. And the uh abilities are kind of confusing. 😂

Yeah there's another video circulating about some douchebags views on Hrothgars once again. Not here for it. Hrothgars represent >15% of the XIV population. Sure we do degen stuff. But that's not what we're all about. >Most races do it< Just tired this one track perception. It's boring. Move on.

I wish that gear could have their job specific attachment removed when added to the glam dresser. I just want to wear the deodochos maiming/striking/scouting jacket on all my jobs. It's so good 😭

Oh yeah, I forgot to post this after beating Jueno on release. Went in as Dancer, with a huge group of folks in VC. There was a lot of screaming as it was the first blind run after release. 😂 #XIV #hrothgar

If there is one thing that truly annoys me, it's that while every other job's little extra weapon bits get matching designs, machinist's fucking lunchbox is -always- the same. Astro has the card holder, right? Effectively the same thing. Sits on the hip, has no real purpose. Gets fancy vfx. WHY?

✨⭐Well Done!⭐✨ SouLucky they were rescued! #FFXIV #FF14

Generative AI art skeeves me out because it is so unsettling to consider outsourcing your literal imagination. What do you mean you need to generate this. Why don't you just sit and think about it

Oh they gave the mandervillous weapons double dye slots? Neat, I hope it's the effect that we can change the color of. .... ......... That would have been pretty cool, huh? (:

-points at @waffurufuru.bsky.social - I GOT SPOTTED IN THE WILD BY THIS CRITTER

Full of sanitizer

Since new PvP Series has started time to do small PSA for all FXIV players going for Rank 25. You can do 36-44 Frontline Roulettes a month and half. Or 120-155 CC matches. Or both and do it even faster.

Omggg They finally fixed the booths of two vendors in Gridania. It always bothered me that the dye booth (color swatches and fabric roll objects) in Gridania WASNT the dye merchant, but crafter materials?? And vice versa, crafter booth was the dye merchant. But they fixed it! :D

Go ahead Red mage, Save the party 🌹 #ffxiv #ffxivart

Fuckin MCH gets nothinggg They need to just redesign machinist from the ground up. My free concept for the Devs: machinist takes on the technology it encounters throughout the story, which affects the learned abilities from each expansion. (So the lvl96-100 abilities would be electrope-based)

Which as a reminder, Bsky has had a sizeable korean and japanese population for ages, and unfortunately this setting could mean you're missing out on a lot of cool people. This is not a preference or what you post, this -limits- what languages you see! Set it to nothing!

Also, hoping that theyll soon update NPCs in major areas to reflect the current standing of races. COUGH there really should be npc hrothgar/vierra/au ra in the city states COUGH COUGHCOUGH //FEMALE HROTHGAR IN BOZJA// COUGHCOUGH (idgaf remake the cutscenes if you have to. femroe bozja queen, wtf)

Checking the patch notes and omg I'm glad I did, because I would have been doing double-takes when going to the market areas in the city-states and not being sure why things felt off. I hope it makes them feel a little livelier. c: Also so many overworld spots will now be so GREEN and LUSH woah

.....huh. I have Cut-Scenes set to only show the first time. ....apparently, I have never taken the boat from Limsa to Vesper Bay until today.

OH MY GOSH, that was so SWEET ;;;v;;; rolod Prae, party'd up with a MCH lady Roe, she's bantering, is excited for Halloween, getting candy prepared. Turns out she's a grandma and her family helped her make her WoL, and they all have alts on the acc and play when over. Wanted to have a group pic bc =

fffffffuck monks in CC irritating bastards xDc why does it take an entire team to take one down while they're harassing one party member while their team walks the crystal along. SO ANNOYING

final fishtasy #ffxiv

close in the distance 🖼️ #ffxiv

Actually made it to Hrothmarket, but I was several hours early. Then did some extra raid stuff and didn't feel like being in game anymore afterwards. So I guess I'm missing it againnnn (:
