2nd weekend of 2.2. and first weekend of open PS4 beta! What are your plans?


Here are mine:
1. FATEs for seals / spiritbond / atma Smiley: frown
2. Two of my four retainers are already at lvl 25. I must keep leveling retainers and sending them out on those lucrative quick exploration runs Smiley: grin
3. Get some titan ex in and really test the handling on this new PS4 version. Smiley: sly
4. I'm capped on soldiery, so I may try out this Brayflox speed run for myth. Smiley: dubious
5. Continue to uber-fy the FC house. Smiley: nod
6. Find out who harvested my two crops I bought and planted and firmly repremand those responsible (maybe). Smiley: laugh Ensure that the three new crops I planted are safe from harm.
7. Run some turn 2 on the paladin for the allagan ring of fending. Smiley: smile

Cap soldiery.

Farm some Myth to get Monkey to i85ish...so I can...

Get my Monkey into some Titan EX.

Set up a Turn 5 learning run with WHM.

Maybe farm some FATEs for atmas... 2/12 right now.

Hopefully do all of the above on teh PS4 :)

1. Maybe I'll have the time to finally get to lvl 50 with my Bard. I'm about 1/3 of the way between 48 and 49, so I should be able to do it.
2. Try out more of the 2.2 stuff. I haven't had too much time to try it out.
3. Depending on how #1 goes, I'll do the PS4 beta test (using a new character, though, just to keep things simple).

That's pretty much it! I also want to help my FC with decorating our basement, but that's kind of an ongoing thing.

1. Run the last two CTs I need for the myth to unlock Thyrus Zenith and start on the atma love fest.
2. Goldsmith 50.

Anything over these two things is kinda gravy.

Camping all weekend, ah well, should be fun.

Sunday/Monday:
- Get the Leviathan EX clear with FC
- Figure out what Hitome means about the Leviathan weapons/mirror (huh?)
- Casually poke at Atma Fates while in DF for Stone Vigil
- Get the Shadow Bow from the last dragon boss in Stone Vigil and Mirage it!

*pictures that spider-man meme*

Everybody's out doing Endgame stuff and I'm just sitting here leveling crap.

Hopefully the GC stars a few items from my lower-level crafts, like CRP, CUL, FSH, to give them a boost. Hopefully get up to the point I can call my chocobo as a companion in battle at some point, and uh. Not sure what else other than level crap. lol.

Beat Ifrit EX! Smiley: nod I cleared Garuda last week after 200+ attempts, and cleared Titan EX on the THIRD TRY last night! Farming HM for weeks for the Bow really did wonders for my dodging game.

Following that, GET DAT BLM STAFF! My BLM is my throwaway job together with my BRD. No way I was gonna blow 900 myth on a weapon upgrade when my SCH isn't even i90 yet.

Cap STomes and buy me something. Thinking the Daystar Circlet for my SCH to replace my Royal Crown.

Farm myth and buy my SCH legs at last.

Run Amdapoor City with my FC.

Clear Story Titan with our lowbie WHM.

Level BRD 35 > 37 or 38.

Do more of the storyline. I'm almost to Leviathan.

Cat have you tried running Brayflox HM or Halatali HM for myth? Doing CT post 2.2 for myth is like building a house while repeatedly shooting yourself in the foot with a nail gun. Brayflox and Halatali take half the time for a little over half the myth, so you end up profiting overall.

From my understanding, the Leviathan weapon is ilvl 95, and the mirror will make any leviathan ilvl 95 weapon upgrade to the ilvl 100 version and glow.

I still don't have the CT healer body. I wants it. Once I get it, I'll switch to something less teeth-pulling.

My goals:

1. Farm enough myth to get my first atma weapon book... only 400 to go, so shouldn't take long.
2. Cap soldiery.
3. Complete new storyline missions.
4. Learn Titan Ex
5. Possibly attempt Leviathan HM.

Archer 30! I figure if I say it two or three weeks in a row I'll actually get there :P

Actually this weekend seems likely as I'm at 25 and am finally getting in a grove and am picking up a level every 30-40 mins now.

After Bard I guess I'll go back and level another couple characters up to 15 or so just to try them out and see if there is something else I like. Monk is already on my list.

Leviathan story fight is a joke. Just kill adds and hit the switch when prompted. I went in with a DF group where most people claimed it was their first try and won easily on first attempt.

I'm going to give Alma farming one more try before giving up on it altogether. This crap is just not fun and I'm tired of it.

Didn't post this weekend. Was rather busy. Will just list what I got done because most of my goals were accomplished:

-Got at least 2 more atmas (ended up with 4 so I'm at 10/12 now)
-Downed T7 (no caster loot of course)
-Downed Moogle for caster neck
-Downed Levi Ex for BLM staff and mirror
-Farmed Levi Ex for FC members (ended up with two sea horsies, 4 mirrors, and weapons for most everyone)
-Did T5 for various pieces I'm missing (picked up PLD sword)

And finally:

-Did PF T1 and T2 for healer gloves and healer circlet

So here's the funny part about the above. Joined a PF group that was doing the enrage method on my SCH. Only reason I joined was to obtain the healer head piece.

With that in mind, the rest ensued:

Getting mad over loot introduced 3 major patches ago that is now farmable and not realizing that other people are after items and are entitled to lot on them if they need them. Some people....

Barring that incident, was a very productive weekend.

I hope you all had a similar one and a very lovely week!

1. Done, but no atma obtained yet
2. Done!


And my bonus was joining a Coil 1, Turn 1 training wheels run and getting a messy clear. Smiley: lol Now I can say I am experienced!

1. I was busy all day Friday and Sunday, and Saturday was mostly spent doing errands, so no, I did not have enough time to do this.
2. Same as #1.
3. I had some time Saturday night to do this, so I played the character, a CNJ, from level 1-10 before I went to bed. I streamed it on Twitch as a test, too. I look forward to playing more on the PS4 this weekend with early access.

I didn't accomplish #1 and 2 this weekend, so those will be my main ongoing goals for this week.

1. Went from 4/12 to 8/12. Not bad.

2. Two retainers are now lvl 33, one is 18 and the other 28. The 18 is the botanist, and is leveling as I slowly level botanist through daily turn ins. The lvl 28 miner and the botanist are behind the others because I send them on exploration ventures. My miner came back with a 600k illumination module this weekend (that was the best find). Other notable finds were tonberry chair, tonberry chandelier, ahriman screen, and The lvl 50 pvp healers hat (the unique/ex one).

3. Titan EX downed. Only needed 15% echo. Got the last hit. If you are on PS3 and playing wireless, and wondering why when you are out of the aoe effect you get pushed off or hit, play on the ps4 and your concerns will dissapear. Other than one weird lag spike I suffered 0 lag this weekend. 0 lag on FATEs (and there were a ton of ppl on screen), and 0 lag on Titan even though I had all spell effects on full. Every error I made was my own. It was great Smiley: grin

4. Figured out how to speed run it. Did a few runs. About 4-5 treasure chest items drop per run, usually are lvl 70 and above, and most dont pick them up because they have them. So each one of those is worth 800 seals on turn in. That's ~ 5-8 FATEs. Can you do 5-8 FATEs in 8-10 minutes? Probably not unless they were quick and stacked on top of one another. So brayflox speed runs can supplement ventures (but are less guaranteed since the drop is ultimately random).

5. House is looking nice, imo. I've got some really positive comments. I've sunk a bit of money into it, and if over the next week they dont sell, I will put the illumination module and raging vortex couch in. But of course I would take the combined million gil as well Smiley: sly

6. 1 of 3 crops got picked. But the FC is honest and the items were put into the company chest. I like that. I will now put the gardening items I receive in there as well. Still wondering how to get that rare nut variety that seems to be in all these crafting bench recipes...

7. Ran turn 2 on paladin. No ring drop. Boo. Highly dissapointed in Sunday's garuda parties. Bards standing with healers, drawing in all the aoe goodness. Healers not getting to the spiny shield in time, causing wipes. Maybe it was just a bad group. Who knows. But I can OT garuda ex flawlessly now, and that is a good thing.

I logged in once over the weekend, got the victory on Thornmarch (Hard) and was able to open up the quest line for 2.2 finally... so I'm now caught up from 2.1 anyways...

I only got about an hour of playtime total over the weekend so I'm so far behind right now.

Capped soldiery, got my first atma book (shield), completed the new storyline missions, beat Leviathan HM... but didn't touch Titan EX. Did watch a nice video on YouTube though, but need to watch that a few more times before doing some learning runs in the DF.

Also unlocked Gilgamesh and hope to beat that tonight, along with more myth farming.

Gilgamesh is easy. First part tank and spank, second part some trash mobs, third part he will cast toad and mini on random party members. When you have toad, run around the map in a big circle or else his chickens will eat you. When you have mini he will focus on you and do a cone aoe repeatedly that you need to avoid. Other than that, no problem. Easy and fun.
