xth for adorable/cute stuff that makes you melt

xth for 3.3 in a month.

no elk bullying in this thread.

...

People actually care about that waste of oxygen elk or is it just a meme?

post creepshots

>Someone shows up at your house when you're with someone
>They won't fuck off and leave

many posts does not necessarily indicate many people

it's a lot of posts by the same deluded individuals

its a meme

mfw ill never be the cute one

Who has soft feet that are such a treat?

Thumbnail made me think I was looking at maplestory art.

It's cute, though.

So how long of a roadblock is learning the A6 phase of A8S?

Seems like it's the hardest part of the entire fight to get down consistent just due to all the phase push timings and mechanics dancing/baiting involved compared to Brute Justice himself.

Actual thread, it was made first. Report this one.

No thread wars.

Which is the best gatherer to pick up?

Literally the only person who could want an OP like that is you, Puttel.

It's not acceptable and you know better. Don't hijack the threads for your discord drama.

Botanist gets a lot of pretty vital stuff? But so does Miner. It depends a lot on which crafts you enjoy more.

and let another thread go to shit that only talks about discord drama for the next 500 posts before it goes back to normal state.

FUN.

Sorry, I guess the people just stayed in that one. I completely understand what you mean given im not even involved in this crap.
H

whats the crafting profession to make huge dosh then?

whats so great about feet anyway

Alchemist and Culinarian when new Raids drop, I would think.

Though if you're current enough to craft the newest tier of Crafted Combat gear you can do that, too.

Generally speaking the answer is "all of them" in varying amounts.

I'm looking for at least a steady income when I hit at least 50.

I'm not looking forward to gathering but I'll do it if it's a reliable way to make any sort of reliable gil.

Goal is at least getting to 3m for my i220 gear stuff for different jobs.

>Generally speaking the answer is "all of them" in varying amounts.
Except poor BSM.

Culinarian and/or Alchemist make consumables.

Probably your best bet.

Maybe someday crafted weapons won't be pointl- ahahahahahaahaha

at least they have crafting tools

the discord. has. no drama. join it.

someone should multi quote the op of this thread in the other thread

I felt like an idiot specializing BSM. No money to make off of it except the already crowded market of HQ craft tools that never sell because everyone else was smart enough not to bother with the clusterfuck that was red scrips.

I already have. I'd rather not be hit for spamming, so someone else is going to have to do it.

Buddy we can hug it out. I specialized ARM. Come here.

Post pictures of the cat you like the most.

>immediately degenerated into Paks/Shana horseshit
Naw, I'll stay here.

...

From an omnicrafter perspective who pretty much did the gear grind entirely on their own, I can say that BSM is entirely as useful as the tools it can create are required. You basically need to have some sort of pyramid scheme with the other crafters on your server.

CUL + ALC are always good but making their things are pretty tedious, and both also involve tons of material management that will kill your inventory.

LTW, WVR, CRP, ARM, and GSM all have their own little markets, with varying amounts of goodness. Though at the moment I'd say WVR > GSM > LTW = ARM > CRP

Yeah BSM is by far the worst specialization, rip friend.

I personally am ARM/ALC/CUL, mostly because I want access to any raid goods that may be available in the future, the current 3* food and pots are just too ludicrous though. Purple and I geared a friend of ours to craft all 3* WVR/LTW/GSM and just let the useless BSM out and CRP with its two accessories and misc things.

Post ending in 5 chooses my next fanta
Unless this ends in 5, then I'm going back to catboi

Midlander

female au ra with green lips and hair.

is the fisherman market good? I can withstand afking with the control for hours while doing something else and hope to god i make good money.

why arent these generals banned from Veeky Forums yet? i honestly think this is the most cancerous one on the board

You're pretty in the know, would you mind me asking about your recommendations for Desynthesis?

I've got 193 ARM with GSM and LTW hovering around 100. How much did I heck it up?

Male Ra

I went WVR/BSM/GSM. The amount of dosh I made from WVR/GSM in 3.0 (been lazy since then) me a ton of dosh.

If specialist ever did extra shit like increasing yield on CUL/ALC crafts I'd jump over to those in a heartbeat, because fuck how time consuming it gets prepping raid mats for the week.

>tfw no raptor mount

Fem Ra
At max level it's pretty okay, what you fish is basically used for the CUL foods. But I think it's kind of a pain in the ass to level if you're in it for the gil and not enjoying it. BTN and MIN both just do so much more.

female lalafell

No. You never will be.

Fellow Monks do you get bullied for your lack of utility? Some fag just lectured me on how I should roll Ninja because he thinks monks are shit. Told him to fug off

One day....

which beastmen mess with raptors, again? Mamool'ja?

With MCH and PLD being more prevalent, that really isn't the case anymore. He was probably sweating profusely through his gay-ass Naruto headband while finger-wagging.

They were just wild beasts. Mamool'ja Stablers (Beastmaster enemy) could call Raptors as pets though.

I heard Monks are slightly preferred now ever since MCH's buff. As long as there's a MCH in your party then people would prefer a MNK.

Welp, I'm not passionate enough to do crafting or gathering but I want the gil for my i220s.

Guess I'll be smashing my head down on my keyboard for a week leveling MIN then. I heard some of the mats like bomb ash still sales for quite a lot and that's around level 20.

Except for the crystals because fuck those rmt pieces of shits, square when is the next ban waves you fucks?

hey don't be greedy...

Well, this went better than expected
Thank god, I was expecting something stupid af

I thought MNK competed with DRG for a slot, not NIN.

Aha, I was meaning in this game, but that's some info I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Any other cool beastmen tidbits from XI you'd want to share / see in this game?

Goblins use them for moving stuff, source: the minion

Maybe when we get gobby beast quests.

DRG's Battle Litany is too good. People would want that over a MNK.
NIN also has Trick Attack.

He was arguing that Ninjas in general were basically better monks, pretty sure he was retarded

just look in the mirror for something stupid desu

The RNG gods have blessed us male Ra enthusiasts. Have fun!

I hope the weeping city preview will be up in english soon, I'm actually a little excited for it. That will disappear instantly when it actually comes but oh well, you know!

>Yo-Kai Watch

Fomor's in FFXI would spawn as a party and attack like a party. They used to be a pain in the ass back in the day when everything was level-capped.

Different from the shit in ARR where enemies would have just aggro lines attached to each other, since XI had mechanics in place for managing pulls/avoiding adds.

Eg. Job's with pets could use their pet as bait to pull an enemy without adds that would normally link via line-of-sight sight or sound.

Beastmen of certain jobs in XI would buff themselves or nearby other mobs from time to time. Eg. Orcs would Protect/Shell each other, or you'd see Warrior's popping Warcry here and there.

I'm pretty sure he is a retarded weeb that probably doesn't understand MNK enough. Probably just made his verdict when he hit PUG at 15 and went straight to ROG for his weeb class.

But Lalafells are cute.

Is this cat a futa that likes to use female lalas as an onahole?

Time to hide all the lalas in ul'dah now.

As someone who enjoys petting every Lalafell he meets, I've noticed a decline in their numbers in Ul'dah the last couple days. Maybe they're already hiding? Who can blame them.

>frenchc@
>futa
leave

Oh, man. I kinda love how different the enemies react to the players and the extra things they do in FFXI that I kept reading about, like how attacking a sprite would cause nearby sprites to attack you (well, that's what I've read.) such a shame FFXIV isn't like that.

I love cats so much.
Show me cats so I can love them.

While I had anticipated sleeping in armour to be terribly uncomfortable, I had not anticipated the weight of it to pull me through the bed.

I will think of a way out once I've woken up.

I wish I was cute...

I see a lot in Limsa when I run around. I'm always too nervous to talk to them. Sometimes I do drive by pets though

What does this mean?

cute

daaaaaaaaaaamn

Sleep naked next time.

I suppose people would just whine if they made a requirement similar to aethercurrents simply to use your mounts in Gyr Abania at all come 4.0, but it would certainly make it a lot easier to design a legitimately dangerous zone if you aren't able to just hold W until the inherently slower enemies are out of wander range. Combine that with enemies that actually try to kill you rather than lumber in your direction and don't actually stop you from bailing.


It means a boss that calls back to Final fantasy 9 is coming. I'm hoping it's hard enough to at least make the shitters really shiver.

Ozma is coming. Grab a towel.

gfless

They're all in a safe spot in the city. Away from quicksand.


Not until every cat players leave.

What a shame. I blame it all on Yoshida and the direction this game is going. He's content with making it a theme park. I'm just hoping his vision of a theme park isn't like WoW's, and more like some other games that offers more emotes, clothings, mini-games and with the upcoming dungeon crawling that's getting me hyped up, more stuff to do to distract me from the stale end-game content while waiting for another few months for a new raid.

mate it's the 24 man, it's not going to be hard, maybe there might be some wipes on an unexpected mechanic but you know it's going to be piss easy

can you show me some waggle waggle

that hurts...

XI had a few unique quirks for some enemies.

Eg. As you mentioned, killing fairies would increment an invisible counter on the server, and kill too many, and they'll start to aggro you on sight, and less of them would spawn overall To reduce this counter you had kill beastmen to get a bottled pixie to drop, and release it at the Witchfire Glen to replenish the population and lower their hatred.

This was also done in a zone in the past of the world (time travellin' BS in the 4th expansion). Release enough pixies back into the world and they'd spawn in the present-time zones too, where they'd wander about and heal/raise players as they see fit.


Tonberry would build a counter on your character for every tonberry killed that factored into their attack Everyone's Grudge which was 5x #of tonberry killed. Boss Tonberry had a variant of that skill which was 10x dmg. You could lower this value by throwing gil at a specific NPC following a quest completion or face getting one-shotted eventually.

>they consider this abomination "good end game raiding content"
It's a poor excuse. It's better than Gordias, but still pretty fucking bad.

r8 my giraffe pls

sick skin/10

its cute
8/10 would marry

looks good

Reminded me of Jessica Nigri at first glance for some reason.

you'll never get another coil that would have at least something fun.

Just illuminati memes and goblins instead of Bahamut and friends.

10/10

Green eyes are can't be beat tier

No no by hard I mean like the Ahriman in World of Darkness.

And honestly if people didn't brute force through everything in Labyrinth of the Ancients through sheer item level bloat, bads would get their faces kicked in pretty badly. Despite that, a week or two ago I had an alliance wipe on King Behemoth. Twice. In (current year), if you can believe it.

>Rare Ex
square has to rip off their players for item names now? sad

XIV just decided to flush literally everything from XI instead of building on it and making it a better game for some reason.

female au ra

ARR uses Rare Ex also in the Japanese client.

Really do hope they consider making the zones dangerous again, even when flying.
I'd consider a challenge like that, rather than weak enemies annoying you with Heavy while on a mount. Monsters chasing you until you get in a Sanctuary would cause a lot of horror stories.

Do not thread war. Shut the down.
