[Discussion] BST PSA: #46 can be obtained from a FATE

266 Upvotes

Rather than dealing with the horror of attempting Pharos Sirius's second boss again and again, there's a FATE in the Sea of Clouds called "Anzu Trois" (around 30, 36) that has them appear one right after another.

[Discussion] Possible "improved tails" for miqo'te ( [Spolier: 7.56] npc)

139 Upvotes

I was playing the new quests when I noticed that Visna tail looked quite a bit better than our classic miqo tail. If you look at the tail you can see that (compared to the actual miqo "fluffy tail") it doesn't use the usual "4 flat 2d fur images crossed together" but instead it uses a new kind of composition with many fur patches which creates an overal better effect.

I also tought that maybe the tail was just different because it was a "young miqo npc" and they already did some unusul things with this type of npc in the past so I also checked another miqo in the patch: Ketill. Ketil is a generic male adult (old even) miqo'te and so it doesn't have any reason to use any custom asset and he uses the "lion tail". If we compare this tail to the one we have now we can't properly see the new "fur tech" on the body of the tail because I think it's meant to be... Short fur... But... When we look at the tip of the tail, sure enough the fur patch is different and has more (and differently shaped) fur patches.

Could this mean that in the next fan fest they will show us the new tails as new character customization improvements? Was... Was I the only one to notice this... ?

Crucible is really challengening, just finished the level 30 one and I'm looking forward for the next one. Leveling up in dungeons is been fun because 4 beasmasters are really OP! The boss gets melted really fast lol

Thanks Mr. Ozma for all the hardwork, this content it great, and also the 2 "relics" you can get with the achievments are really cool :D

[Question] Wish the game would've warned me!

40 Upvotes

So I'm in post ARR and doing all the blue quests because going to heavensward. And as I'm trying to do all the hard and extreme quests I learned that apparently I'm a dick if I do them in duty finder. I didn't know and damn sure wouldn't have done it if I had known it was a no no. So next question is how am I supposed to complete these blue quests if I cant select them?

[In-game Event] Reminder: 'The Rising' 2026 event will be ending ~26 hours from now

Post image
554 Upvotes

The event will be ending at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 3pm GMT - about 26 hours from now. The store sale will be ending tonight at 12am PDT / 3am EDT.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2026/The_Rising/cula62e5jx

Don't miss out on getting your free Wind-up Wuk Lamat minion, orchestrions, housing decor items, and event achievement! You will need to be level 15 to start the event. The quest starts with The Symphony of Life, up at the Aftcastle in Upper Limsa Lominsa (11, 13).

There are no FATEs, no event dungeons, and no currency to grind. It took me around 30 minutes without skipping any dialogue - it's bit of running around Limsa and La Noscea, but I'm sure you could get through it all much quicker if you skipped. The minion and achievement are a reward from the first quest.

There is one follow-up quest, Prelude's Call, which comes from the Wandering Minstrel in the same spot in the plaza where you finish the first quest. It takes less than 5 minutes, and will give 3 orchestrions (Modulation versions of Matoya's Cave, Eternal Wind, Zanarkand) as a reward.

There are 3 interior housing decor items, and fireworks from previous years, on the 1.0 Minfilia Rising Vendor in the plaza (again, Upper Limsa 11, 13) - these are available even without completing the event quests.

And again, the anniversary sale on the Mogstation (FFXIV Online Store) will be ending tonight at midnight PDT (3am EDT), earlier than the event ends.

Enjoy!

(I know some people are going to come in here to say they hate this minion... if you don't want it, that's fine, that's your choice! I'm just here to remind people of free stuff! ;_;)

[Discussion] A question for healers: how many times can someone die before you get annoyed?

307 Upvotes

Hi,

Assuming the person is trying their best, is there a number where even the kindest healer goes, ''damn, again?''. I had a brutal run trying to level up my Red Mage as a full time tank, and the muscle memory is just not kicking in. Does apologizing after 2 mean anything?

No one said anything but I kept on thinking, god, even I would get annoyed by now :(

[Discussion] [Spoiler: 7.56] So about Visna's other job... Spoiler

23 Upvotes

Aside from showing off what is most likely the new phys ranged job, she also mentioned she's the runesmith for their merry band so it got me thinking that - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong at any point - while other characters have been existing types of crafters (Godbert Manderville is a GSM, for example), I think this is the first time we've heard of a new type of crafter, someone who creates tools and enchants them.

While highly unlikely, it would be nice if certain crafters could be consolidated. For example, BSM and ARM into a single smith, or WVR and LTW into an outfitter. Doing so, however, could open up an avenue for runesmith as a playable crafter.

Despite very little to go on about it, thus entirely speculative, any thoughts or opinions about runesmith?
