    Should I just get all the STR accessories then? Or atleast both STR rings?
    I see the toolkit recommending me the Tank ultima Necklace, but isn't DPS necklace better for me since it has STR?
    Has the exact same stats with STR replacing VIT

    @Takel How this? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ZTE9
    I don't have Minos Lux yet, but I am working towards it, adding the last 6 points into ACC since I have too much SkS.

    VIT gives tanks all the benefits of STR plus more HP. It is strictly better as a stat for them.

    Nothing for completion itself but you actually do get something in the middle of the patch.
    You get a new glamor armor set.

    If you can take the HP loss and the STR ring has better secondary stats then the trade is worth it. If a ring is parry/sks then fuck that, get the crit/det one with STR and meld a Vit V to it

    It'd be nice if they got away from gender specific gear. Just let anyone wear anything.

    Hmm. MSQ thoughts (spoilers for the new patch)
    So it was Shinryu after all. They made it work I suppose.

    New glamour looks great.

    Not nearly as much of a plot-twist roller coaster as 2.55 went out with though. This set the hooks for 4.0 but it lacks the oh shi- that led into 3.0. Not sure if that's good or bad.

    The Yda bit was interesting, but it's less of an impact if she was impersonating her sister since before you ever met her (all the way back to the literal first fight in 1.0). I did expect her mask to finally be coming off though, as I've been thinking it's her sparring with WoL in the Stormblood trailer (mainly on account of being blond, monk, female, and her face having not been shown).

    I'm wondering how Nero intended to backstab everyone... though I suppose it's possible he doesn't want the power for himself after the last time he tried that ended up with him almost consumed by the Void. Or more likely he wasn't going to turn on you until after Omega had contained the threat... because he doesn't want another calamity mucking stuff up any more than you do.

    Did I mention I love the new glamour?

    What the fuck is..

    Gosetsu exactly?

    Half rogadyen, half human, half just to weird to look at and being undecided about the first two guesses?

    Great character already though.

    I'm a little curious how the lvl 50 cooking quest plays out if you've entered Ishgard but haven't gotten very far into HW's MSQ content.

    same way as doing the Shiva EX stuff for the first time after you've finished the 3.0 MSQ.

    As far as the game's timeline goes, you're just doing things out of order or it's a pocket time travel. Kinda how they position the stuff like the dailies. You're merely reliving memories not running the place again.

    Yeah. 1.0 is five years before 2.0. Even allowing some months to slip by in storylines I'm fairly sure it was always Lyse.

    Because the real Yda would not have been so helpless in the first fight of the game.

    I've always want to try this out. With the unlimited trial, I think I finally will.

    As a newb, anything I should watch out for when I start leveling, or should I just jump in and start swinging?

    It's pretty straightforward. Just work the main story and avoid most, if not all of the side quests. You can get overwhelmed with low level quest markers, and the rewards for most of them are garbage.

    Basically if the dude has a piece of gear you can use, do it, otherwise don't bother.

    Even if they have gear, I'd just skip it and do the main quests. Unless you really want to or whatnot.

    Anyone here know if you can do the referral thing with the trial? If so, Feldorn, you should do that. Getting the referral code from someone gives you a little hat which grants you bonus exp, which is nice.

    That's true, and I read that, but it doesn't state that you need to apply a retail key to an account before you can enter the referral code. At least I didn't notice it in the fine print.

    It also doesn't state that you can't do it with a trial account. I thought I read that you could, but I don't think that's the case.

    Finished off the heavensward msq last night. Good stuff.

    Now I only have my goals of leveling all jobs (combat, crafting, and gathering) as close to 60 as I can before Stormblood.

    Crafting jobs are all about 30. WAR, PLD, SCH/SUM, WHM, and MNK are at 60. All other combat jobs are at least 32. Gatherers are low 20's. A long road ahead but it'll be fun. I think I can get close, at least with the combat jobs, if not the others.

    Anyone who can help me out? I can always mail you the stuff and you craft it in your own time.

    @Rami I can probably HQ craft just about anything you need. I should be on your friends list or we're in a linkshell or something

    What's your in game name?

    I've got most of the mats needed now and my leve allowance is going to hit the cap so I should probably stop procrastinating.

    So as a plot question... (Heavensward spoilers through current patch)
    Do you think they have any plans for the remaining dragons of the first brood?

    Bahamut and Ratatoskr are long dead and Nidhogg recently so. Vidofnir is alive but has lost both his eyes now I think? Tiamat is imprisoned in Azys Lla and resolved to remain for all time in penance for summoning the primal Bahamut.

    But that leaves two children of Midgardsormr unaccounted for. Though I suppose Shinryu could be cause for them to appear.
