For me personally I think it has to the the new Alliance Raid. As a 10 year FFXI player I’m very much looking forward to visiting Vana’diel again, and honestly there are few things more fun in this game than day 1 alliance raids when no one knows the mechanics and gear isn’t causing you to skip mechanics!
Another quiet week in game though, got my White Mage to level 80 so I’ve been able to equip the poetics weapon for my Aerith glam, but honestly I’m not sure I’m going to continue with it. I’m sure part of it it lack of familiarity with the class but I’m just not enjoying it like I enjoy Scholar. Admittedly having a gap closer has been super nice (I managed to gap close into a tower on Cloud of Darkness the other day that no one had taken to avoid it doing a raid wide which felt good), but I miss the flexibility Scholar gives you.
Reset Recap - Tuesday October 1st 2024
Things might have hit a plateau in game but we got our first look over the weekend at what’s coming in 7.1! New alliance raids, a new alliance raid difficulty, custom deliveries, the next quests in the role quests, and of course the next part of the MSQ, just to name a few! So for this week’s recap, what did you accomplish this week in game, and what part of the 7.1 patch are you most looking forward to?
Fashion Report Week 348
I’ve had a quiet week this week. Haven’t really ticked much off the to do list other than gaining a few levels on my white mage. Should hit 80 this week and then I can try the 80 poetics weapon @pasty suggested for my Aerith glam 😊 Did manage to get two non CT Alliance Raids this week though! (Void Ark and Mhach… but at least they’re not CT!)
For 7.1 I’m going to assume we get our first tribal quests (I’ve already forgotten what they’re rebranded to now 😅), and I reckon it’ll be the Pelupelu. Pretty sure they announced them as one of the groups during the DT media tour (I could be wrong there) and given their involvement and proximity with Tuliyollal they seem the most likely choice.
Vague spoilers on DT below
Not sure what to expect story wise. I feel there’s going to be a rebuilding Tural post invasion plot somewhere but also an exploring the idea of intershard travel plot as well, since we already know Shtola is trying to get back to the First. Given Dawntrail was all about Wuk Lamat and her journey, I feel it would make sense for the rebuilding of Tural to happen around you rather than you directly participating, since again, that should be Wuk’s journey, not yours.
So as we progress through the DT patch content you see the results of what happened with Alexandria, see people picking up the pieces and rebuilding their lives independently of the WoL’s involvement. And as we do our thing with the intershard stuff you can see the zones progressively change (since we already have a precedent for that in the final DT zone). Might be new structures being built, might be the use of electrope if any got brought back, might be people from different zones mingling together. Just feel it would make the world feel a bit more alive.
Reset Recap - Tuesday September 24th 2024
It’s time for the reset recap! We’ve got a live letter to look forward to later this week where we get our first look at what patch 7.1 will be bringing. What is your prediction on what we’re going to see? How have you been getting ready for the release of 7.1? Have you gotten everything you want from the current patch yet? Let us know how your week in Eorzea has gone!
Fashion Report Week 347
This is as far as I’ve gotten with it so far. But not happy with the weapon (right now I’m just using the level 70 poetics weapon cause I just ticked over to 70 last week and haven’t bothered to glam it).
Glamour question
I’m in the process of putting together an Aerith glam for my white mage (cause I can’t possibly start playing a new job unless I’ve got a glam for it I like 😂). I’m largely done with it but I’m trying to find a good weapon for it. Most white mage weapons are cane style weapons that have a decorative thing on the top but just the stick at the bottom. I want to try and find something that’s more like the Guard Stick; essentially less decorative but it matches at the top and the bottom. I don’t know if anything like that exists in FFXIV though. Does anyone know of a weapon that might work? (If you’re not familiar with Aerith’s weapons in FF7 remake which is what I’m basically trying to emulate, this site [https://brightrockmedia.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-aerith-weapons-guide/] has pictures of all of them. Probably mild FF7 Rebirth spoilers too.) Failing that I suppose I can try to find something like the Princess Guard from the original FF7 which is more likely. But would love to try and keep to the Remake aesthetic if I can!
Reset Recap - Tuesday September 17th 2024
Another week has flown by in Eorzea, so it’s time for this week’s reset recap! What have you been up to this week in the game, and what have you managed to tick off your bucket list? Also am curious if people are finding this fun or interesting. We’re still a small community here on Lemmy so am trying to encourage people to post and engage a bit, but I also look back since last week’s recap and not a lot has happened 😅 So share your thoughts as well on whether you this we should keep going with the recap!
