T13 finally killed. No shinies for me but at least its done, but it does mean there is nothing to do now until Heavensward expansion.

Currently now Ilvl 105. Completed atma weapon now on the books. Also completed the hildiband quest line and won the lot on the chicken at the end!

Finally got T12 down. Now I can die horribly in T13 which is not as difficult as I thought it would be, its more about timing your abilities right rather than outright one shot mechanics everywhere.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Maybe it's time to do the same for all MMO games for good (really, FFXIV has been the only MMO title I've played in over a year)

I've been off FFXIV for five or so months now, I only started playing it because I had some good FFXI friends giving me grief to play and as it was on the PS3/PS4 it seemed like a great idea. Sadly that wasn't enough to outweigh the many faults I found with it. As for other MMOs, I haven't played any for a great deal longer than that. I think I'm pretty much done with the genre now as it's gone down the road of sub quantity over game quality. It'll never be as it was in my old Everquest days and even the early FFXI level of challenge is a thing long abandoned.

Everyone gets everything... eventually!

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

My latest achievement is playing it and rolling a new toon on a new server. My old FC is basically dead anyway and the game just gets dull after you hit 50...well for me at any rate, when the quests just run dry

My FC has long gone cold, and I got a house with cold bare floors and nary a furniture in sight. I wish I could get back the 2.1 million gils that I squandered on it :s

The raid team that I was a part of for barely 2 months and progressed in also disappeared like water in the desert at noon. I'm just existing in the game, popping in for events, checking retainers, slowly leveling my NIN (40 now) and wondering if I should buy the Heavensward expansion. At least I avoided the temptation to go back to WoW. I gave away my gold recently on the free 10 day "pre-expansion" trial, but didn't do anything at all, so other than that blip, I've gone cold turkey for over 2 years now. Maybe it's time to do the same for all MMO games for good (really, FFXIV has been the only MMO title I've played in over a year)

I'll leave this here:

Okay so my guild have officially banned me from explaining boss mechanics while drunk. Which means that I no longer have to explain boss fight mechanics for a raid again. So all in all a good result.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Somehow managed to get my current static down to 3% on Turn 8 while being clearly too drunk to explain the fight or call out Ballistic Missile, Allagan Field and which towers to push properly. That and completely forgetting how to get to the Boss Room.

They really nerfed Turn 8. It's actually a fun fight on BLM now.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Finally got my BLM Atma Weapon. The hell part of that grind is over. Now on to the time consuming and expensive parts of the grind.

Also got SCH up to iLv103.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

Very true, since your primary stat contributes far more damage than any secondaries combined.

Even so, I do like running 500+ crit as my DRG gets a pretty nasty rate. I don't know if it's just luck on my part but I swear sometimes I'll run dungeons and get something like a 40~50% CR which is absurd. I'm really pissed off atm that my PC broke on me (total HDD failure...) and that I don't have an active sub as I saw in the recent patch DRG got some serious, long-overdue love. I'm actually not too keen on the removal of the placement requirements (flanking/behind etc.) as I feel that added an extra dimension of skill to the job, even if it made certain fights like Leviathan annoying. But the potency buffs and cooldown reductions are very much welcome. I'm torn between DRG and NIN now as they both fulfill similar roles and even function similarly but are distinct enough in how they go about it so as not to completely overlap.

On the one hand, DRG is far, far less susceptible to lag/fps problems and can really dish out nasty burst damage, but I like how speedy NIN is and the support abilities it has. (Plus it's freaking Ninja!) Grr....

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

There's hardly any Crit on Caster Ironworks gear sadly and I my static doesn't have T9 cleared so I can't go for Dreadwyrm gear, plus I have way too much accuracy because of my weapon, I have terrible luck in T9 for weapon drops. Plus there's really no point in min/maxing until you're pushing the iLv cap anyway. That and there's no bad stat for BLM.

BiS for BLM is looking like this: Ariyala's Final Fantasy XIV Toolkit

You basically gear for Crit or Spell Speed and use food for whatever is lowest. With Crit food my Crit looks less depressing.

Reallly you might as well just gear for Main Stat until you hit 130, then you can worry about Min/Maxing. Before then there's no point in farming something that will get replaced anyway.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment in FFXIV - ARR Edition

496 crit and 438 SS? Not totally sure but isn't that a bit low for a 115? My DRG's only around i98 or so but my crit is well over 500 now and my gear is comparatively gimp lol.

I thought you could push 600+ now at 120+? (or are you just showing off yer town gear?)
