    New trial is at 625, so likely around there

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Yep, it's 625.

    I had to spend whatever it cost to get one of my classes over 625 because I haven't really played much since the Spring. I've had to buy my way to the minimum ilvl for MSQ content for the last two patches because I'm only playing when new MSQ content comes out now. Not ideal but it's not like I'm doing anything else with the money having no interest in housing or leveling crafting classes.

    You might be better off grinding Anabaseios?

    If you have the money use a gear calculator to see how many Diadochos pieces you need to hit 625. Make good use of https://universalis.app/ to see which server and/or data center has the lowest price.

    Yeah, the weekly cap was removed with the patch (excluding weapon token), so you can just spam those to get upgrades.

    Finished the 24 player story, my PF Blind PuG had zero wipes, only a few close calls.
    Glad it's probably not going to be a massive headache in roulette!

    I quite liked the closure we're getting out of this story, definitely finally some real answers on what the Twelve were up to all this time.

    IME easiest catch up gear, even to simply supplement crafted gear. Especially the accessories will probably just fall to you as most players won't roll on them.

    my FC promised that we'd do a blind run of the 24 man together, but then refused to wait 20 minutes for the last two of us to make it :(

    we're a bit upset actually, felt very rude

    Oof.

    I could not have been more disappointed in the new dungeon if I tried.

    Like...Why name it that? Why even bother? It wasn't even remotely what the name implies.

    And what's annoying is that had it just been advertised as what it was, I would have been fine. Still disappointed that we went to the moon and didn't get a lunar subterrane dungeon; but telling us that is what we were getting and absolutely not giving us that is more frustraiting to me.

    Weak.

    It was a fine dungeon, just as far as dungeons go. Really simple and straight forward. Bosses were pretty simple. Music was good.

    Just, not at all what I was expecting and hoping for; and not just "this isn't how I want it", but actually not what it is labeled.

    The ex trial is a good bit of fun but much easier than I was expecting from doing the normal. It was under an hour for us blind, which, like, okay, we are a 5x ultimate static but Barbariccia was several hours, and Endsinger back in early Endwalker took us almost a full night.

    I assume this is because it was a big location in FFIV and you wanted to see it all in its grand 3D glory? As someone not at all familiar with IV, I thought it was fine.

    it's instead mostly a different big ffiv area. the lunar sub in ffiv is basically just the blocky void squares but for a dungeon

    I always like running through MSQ dungeons with NPC's for story reasons, but I just cannot get through the last boss in the new dungeon. I cannot wrap my head around the timing and positioning of the Duplicitous Battery mechanic. After 45 minutes of struggling I quit out and will just run it through the Duty Finder where my dumbass can be resurrected when I die to the mechanic every time.

    I did try watching a bunch of different dungeon guides on Youtube. They helped but not enough for me to get through the mechanic myself.

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    I'm blanking out on which mechanic that is, so I can't really offer advice.

    It's the second boss that murders me in there.

    It's the two rings of circle AOE's that go off at different times (it's the second mechanic after the boss's opening party wide attack). Move into the area of the one that just went off to avoid the second ring that goes off after. It's an old mechanic but I just cannot get the positioning and timing down on this one. Sometimes I can get through it but the version that happens at the same time as a personal AOE in a guaranteed fail for me. In the event I get through the first explosion I always get caught in the second one plus the personal AOE that goes off right after kills me.

    key is to put yourself as close as possible to the first one before it goes off, then move into it as soon as the cast finishes, you may be moving too late

    @Cormac

    I ran a quick expert and got Lunar Subterrane so I shadowplayed the two duplicitous battery casts and uploaded the video for both, if a POV makes it a bit easier to see how to react to it.

    This particular modder does some amazing work, you should check out what they've done for some of the other classes.

    They only ever reveal one job at a time. Next reveal will be next fanfest.

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding
