    Well. Zhloe's story is now over if you've been capping her deliveries every week since 3.55a
    Khloe makes an appearance

    Once you're done, the weekly deliveries will be randomised from the entire set in addition to adding the 1* deliveries into the pool. Those 1*s are insane. Maximise the collectability for all 6 hand-ins and you'll cap for the week on red scrips. This week with only 3 1*s will set you at 360/450. Obviously this is more valuable for the crafting side to save a lot of money since with gathering you can finish the weekly cap within an hour if you're capable of hitting all the legendary nodes.

    3.56 is inbound for the 28th.

    Along with the second half of the final MSQ chain for Heavensward, Creator Savage will become unlocked as well as having a 10% echo.

    They did that already except for the weapon token from A12.

    No explicit mention to my knowledge, but I'd presume the a12 gear for the i260 shire weapons will be unlocked given that i270 gear and i275 weapons are now unlocked. The i250 prototype gear was unlocked with the introduction of Dun Scaith since it's no longer the best commonly accessible gear.

    Dun Scaith itself should be unlocked as well though I'm not sure about the Proto-Ultima accessories since that'll be.... unusual to unlock it only like 5 weeks after it was introduced.

    Are there ever discounts on subscriptions? My sub ran out, and with a babby coming I need to be slightly more careful with spending money :P

    Best you can do is the entry fee sub, which is $12.99 every month.
    That's a whole $2 less than the leading MMO!

  • MaximumMaximum Registered User regular
    I've justified the sub by not buying any other games.

    Normally I'd buy at least one retail game a month, but I haven't played anything else since October.

    Is there enough solo content that you enjoy and can do with one arm while humming lullabies?


    If yes: justify the monthly sub by promising to soothe the baby every night when he or she has tummy aches or is so tired they don't know how to fall asleep like a sensible human.

  • ringswraithringswraith Registered User regular
    The other option is to pay for 6 months at once, comes out to the same price as the entry fee sub of $12.99/mo without the one-char-per-server limitation (if that's a thing you're interested in).

  • kimekime Queen of Blades Registered User regular
    Eh, I don't buy games frequently anyways, so I can't make that trade-off :P. Similarly, for baby-time I've got Hearthstone or other less intense games.

    Ah well, maybe just time for a break :)

    I've amassed just over 500 lore from my attempts to upgrade my MNK gear to the 250 prototype alex stuff.

    I'm still missing one bolt.

    At least I can buy 3 umbrite? :?

  • HjorvarthrHjorvarthr Registered User regular
    Scripture tomestones aren't used in the Anima quest right?

    I can just use them to buy gear when I get enough?

    Is the last MSQ bit going to have any new content like a dungeon or trial, or is Baelsar's Wall the last thing until Stormblood?

    As much as I would love a trial ala Steps of Faith, I don't think the devs are hinting at one for this patch.

    No new content until Stormblood folks.

    Yeah, no one knows what that thing is yet.

    Rhalgr. Because duh of course there can be primals of the Twelve.

    Also, twelve is an important number for Ivalice stuff oops?

    Alternatively, I think there's a chance it is
    Shinryu. Or at least Rhalgr interpreted through the form of Shinryu. Because a dragon's eyes are being used to power that mystery primal, and because pitting Omega against Shinryu is some classic Final Fantasy stuff.

    Am I correct in assuming that you will probably get enough Lore for all the Pneumite you will need while you are farming light? Or do you need the Pneumite before you start farming the light?

    The most effective way to farm light is A1S, which awards no lore. But, it drops Gordian accessories, which can be turned in for about 1100 company seals each (with a guaranteed one every fourth run.) Since you can also buy the items for 60k company seals...

    Yeah, it would be classic... but does it work lore-wise? Or do you just mean giving Rhalgr an appearance to suggest that fight?

    I mean, it could work. One thing we know about primals is their mutability. Their form, powers, temperament, and just about everything else about them is dependent on the person who summons them. The same primal could take many forms depending on the worshippers and the situation. On the one hand, that would suggest that it would be Rhalgr, since the ritual was fueled by despairing revolutionaries who wish for Rhalgr to destroy their foes. On the other hand, the summoning was engineered by Ilberd, who no longer trusted their faith, and expressed that this was his work alone. I think it's possible that the primal that could have been Rhalgr would become something else when summoned in this way, and using Nidhogg's eyes. I think that'd work, lorewise; the god the revolutionaries prayed for, warped into something else entirely, shaped by the Griffin's mad conviction and the shadow of an ancient dragon's anger.

    I mean, it could just as easily still be Rhalgr, but there are enough odd circumstances with this particular summoning that I think you could swing Shinryu in the lore.

    It's about the only one that really makes since from previous lore in that it'd be Rhalgr.

    I'd love for it to be Belias but that would be more for Gigas if they ever are shown to worship or have a beast tribe. Shinryu is more of a traveller in search of Omega so I don't know if you could fit in quite that well, other than Ilbred's use was a hard summon that shinryu couldn't ignore (since we don't have Omega up yet). Since Shinryu likes to flit about the void, I'm hoping something with Dun Scaith or MSQ might draw him in and leave the final summon to Rhalgr. Or they could totally swerve us and just have some unique egomaniac primal show up, like Chaos!
