I wonder why they bothered leaving SMN with a heal, when it doesn't even really work. It says 400 potency (that I assume is mind based, but it doesn't limit RDM), but it seems like it only heals 400hp, ever.
At least make it on par with a base vercure? It's not like SMN is in danger of being a backup healer like RDM, in a pinch; but maybe they could have something that could heal you a bit more than the damage you're going to take during the cast time?
Yeah like I get keeping it in the kit due to the nature of both starting for Arcanist, but it's weird that it literally never changes. Make it change into like a defensive cooldown for the SMN or something I dunno.

IMO, either make it actually function as a proper cure spell, or just remove it and add a new utility CD.

She's almost entirely outside the gaming social media scene so her risk of running into spoilers has been low. Hell, she's halfway through Stormblood and still hasn't even seen the trailer for it. But she mentioned in a FB group how FFXIV has provided her with an escape from stress, and someone replied they also play, and spent too much money on "emet merch".
I told her only not to google it, as it's a huge spoiler.
Tangentially related, getting around in Othard sucks ass. The aetheryte positions in the Ruby Sea and Yanxia are the worst.

the hardest part about getting shit is figuring out if the item you're looking at is actually giving money to the artist or if a bot just slapped their shit on a mug

yeah which is why most of the weird stuff I end up with I buy when I see it posted by the artist rather than go googling for a subject I'm interested, but that means I end up with random stuff like the NERV logo except it's ACAB shirt, but not necessarily stuff specific to what I'm currently hype about

What do you mean by up to date? All the new items are on there and people post hundreds of glamours a day.

The Gearset list hasn't been updated since 5.3. You can see glams and what items they use, but if you just want to browse everything that's out there it's far behind.
Yeah all the sites that let people post what they've created have generally stayed functional, but everything that has sought to be a database of references for what items there are and what they look like have either shuttered or stopped being updated.

I had no idea, I generally just use the site to reference people's designs to get inspiration. I don't know what I'd do with a full database, I don't think it'd be that useful for creating glamours because there's just so many items.

Sometimes I'll browse through it for inspo. It's nice because I can filter it to guarantee it's not going to show me something from Eureka or dyeable 80 AF gear.
but yeah saying eorzea collection is merely "ok" is unfair. It's a great website that could be greater-er.

Garland Tools is still updated, I believe. That's what I'll use to look at items. It's only really good for looking for things you find in other places, aka it's a great tool to look for something you already know about. or saw a name in game and wanted to check it.

Underrated feature of Garland Tools is that most NPCs are created using player character creation codes, which means for most non-major story NPCs, if you like a particular NPC a lot you can look up their codes to recreate them as a retainer or whatever.

There are exceptions of course. Admiral Merlwyb is the one I know does exist.
And no, I'm not bitter that you can't ever make an exact copy of her with the character creator. Ok no, that's a lie. I'm pretty bitter.
they all occur in isolation of each other, regardless of order, and you kind of have to relearn basic details about the blasphemies every time, and your character doesn't point out "yeah it's bad vibes, so look for that and get on it."
It's not a huge deal, but it seemed like ShB was better about internal consistency in that regard.

Made me think Raubahn was a roegadyn for most of ARR though lol

Which beast tribes should you start with? I have access to the original five and the Heavensward two (so Amal’ja, Ixal, Kobold, Sahagin, Sprite, Moogle, Vanu), and 12 quests a day means two full tribes a day…

Ixal and moogle is going to be crafting.
...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
Doing all 5 of the ARR beast tribes unlocks a questline that can be very enjoyable. Especially since it expands on the stories you play through while ranking up each of the tribes. The same thing happens after you finish the 3 Heavensward and Stormblood tribes.
I found myself doing 3 quests a day for the four combat focused tribes in ARR until I finished them and then I was ranking up Ixal and the two HW Combat tribes. Once I reached 50 with a crafting skill I started adding Moogle quests as well. A DPS waiting in the queue for roulettes and chosen dungeons have a lot of time to do Beast Tribe quests.
There are quicker ways to level crafting but doing the Ixal quests meant I was also gaining access to a vendor that sold dyes, minions and a mount.
Switched over to my archer and just... okay, I'm going from 1-minute queues on my healer to 15-minute ones. They need to do something about the goddamned queues DPS face.
I'm in the mood to do some experimenting, so I'm going to play the game the way the devs intended- I'm doing every single quest and hunting log and everything as it comes up, to level. When I hit dungeons, I want to keep doing them until I get the full equipment set from them. Playing like this, well... I want to see how soon it'll take me to hit max level- I imagine if I keep grinding shit, I'll end up topping out about, what, halfway through Stormblood? My healer hasn't even reached Stormblood yet and they've already hit 71...

Devs can't fix the fact that people are afraid to play healers and tanks.
I got my WAR to 80 tonight and that might be one of my favorite class quests. Definitely the funniest and it's a shame there won't be any continuation of the romance as the class stories are now considered complete.
The 4-person party system doesn’t help much though. The 2:1 ratio of tanks/healers to dps in most content leads to the bottleneck being worse than it is in other games. It’s why Alliance roulettes are just about the only thing that’s ever dps in need
Yeah, they're basically doing all they can already to incentivize tanks and healers.
I made 4 million gil last week from selling materia. All of that came from the "Role in Need" bonus cracked clusters I got while leveling my healing jobs.

Woops, I should maybe do something with that clusterfuck pile I have.
If I went by the prices I sold for on patch day, each role in need run is worth a bonus 40k from the materia clusters.
Sounds pretty subjective by server then.
On Faerie, I was selling Savage Might X for 45-50k last week, and Heaven's Eye IX for 20k last week. Prices have dropped substantially this week and I won't be able to get anywhere near that 4mil again. But those were last week's prices during Savage week.
So on Faerie, a Role in Need bonus was worth about 90k.

eorzea collection is a great website when it's up to date... which it last was in like 5.4 so right now it's merely an OK website

More then once I have had a short queue as DPS because three others have been waiting for someone high enough level.
That, or more PotD-style content where party composition matters less.
