Also a lot of the potency increases aren’t just always there, they’re based on new traits you get in the level 91-100 range, so you won’t see those increases immediately in most cases, you have to level up and get the new job trait.

It’s based on the new AF gear I think! Marked it as a spoiler if you don’t want to see it but I’m pretty sure they demoed this during the live letter.

Same here! I want to know what gear pieces they’ve based it on so I can turn this into a glam!

Honestly probably just watch some TV or get some extra work done, although if you’re looking for a game to play, the remastered version of Beyond Good & Evil came out this week. Been probably 20 years since I played it originally but I remember it being a fun game with a great cast and musical score.

Fair point. Personally I’d love to see you be able to save a glamour against a gear set as well so you can use your glamour plates for everything else. But with gear sets being stored client side rather than server side that probably won’t happen.

Will be interesting if we get something akin to the body snatcher mission from Endwalker. I remember a lot of people struggled with it at the time but I quite enjoyed the change in pace (and I don’t mind a stealth game either so sneaking around the ruins avoiding enemies was fun to me).

They’ve added a new side quest that will give you the Fantasia, it’s listed in the patch notes! So once you complete that you’ll get it.

Such a simple change but easily one of the better QOL updates.

And if you still have Road to 80 and they update that to 90, you can double that.

Right? I’m not even asking for more glamour chest space! (Yet. Baby steps.)

Sadly didn’t see anything about increasing the number of glamour plates. We now have more jobs than glamour plates, so if you have one glam per job, something has to share, and you have no room for casual glams. And that’s before you factor in DoH/DoL jobs.

A lot of people will be excited about that to get Viper and Picto to 90 quickly 😊

For what it’s worth, as long as the stream is active you yourself don’t have to be actively watching it. You could find a streamer who’s streaming overnight (relative to your timezone), put Twitch on, go to bed and wake up with a mount.

And to be fair, any sort of external requirement is going to annoy someone, and FFXIV does have a few of them. Between regionalised promotions, food tie-ins, streaming rewards, timed preorder bonuses, time restricted PvP rewards, expensive statues locking emotes, etc.

There’s always going to be some stuff people would like but either can’t get or don’t want to participate in whatever the promotion is. I don’t see that going away any time soon.

I totally didn’t think of Zhloe and her poor orphan children when looking at this image, no no. Don’t forget to feed the children.

That’s fair enough too. Man has earned some rest! As long as that’s all it is, was worried maybe he’d gotten sick.

Might have just missed it. Is Martin Brundle just not on commentary this weekend or is there a reason he’s not there? Missed him on the grid walk today.

Oh, I missed them having to backpedal on that! That’s good news.

I reckon you’re right on Viper. But I know exactly what you’re talking about 😊 I think half my jobs have been covered so far? Scholar was at 16 and Machinist was at 20, still waiting on Summoner and Warrior (although Scholar is my real main job regardless).

Thank you ❤️ I’ve played around with Fantasias a little since I finished Endwalker but I always come back to my middie. And my Gyr Abania Plait hairstyle!

Also true! I was more thinking the actual gathering process itself but retainer ventures are just as effective, especially if it’s for something that is a timed node. You might not get the instantaneous gratification of crafting something right there and then, but it’s never far away for the vast majority of materials.

Then you just hold the ones that are relevant for current gear or stuff you actively work on (for example, my FC chest is completely dedicated to all the stuff needed to craft subs).
