Farm Amber to 40 or 48, and just farm the NM cycles. You'll luck out while always making consistent progress with the NMs. Regardless of the campaign. Slower, sure, but not that bad.

Debating booking a day or two off work for the week of Sept 8~12 during the short window that abyssea lights go away.
I have time saved up so honestly could use a lil staycation to crush out some apademaks...

Been back about 3 weeks from a 3 or 4 year break. Have been running around in sortie solo. Getting my bearings and doing the ground floor objectives while killing the 4 minor NMs. Can dnc solo any of the lower major NMs, like Ghatjot for example. Has anyone done any soloing on dnc in there, any advice or tips?

Hatchets are designed to be one handed axes. Seeing as the very first axes were unifacial hand axes what we call hatchets ARE axes and what we call axes are actuality two handed axes.
Bit like all of us I am much more used to current nomenclature.
/nitpick
'Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41'
It was a hatchet if you are basing it on the Elizabeth Montgomery movie.
Anywho...I'll be in the UK for much of October, so I'll watch out for girls with sharp metal objects.

I think the key is getting the mob to ~5% HP with the auto-attacks that bring you up to 1k TP. I experimented with different atma/weapon setups until I was able to do this semi-reliably. I'd still kill mobs every once in a while when I double attacked or got a crit or something, but I could get maybe 70% of them and it was quite quick to get one down, so even if I murdered one by accident it wasn't a great loss.
I think in an ideal world: find some setup with another character that brings a group of mobs to low HP, like a BLU or BLM spell, and then AOE all of them to a low HP, melee an NM and Atonement each one of those guys down one at a time.

I'm working on my Burtgang trials and as advertised they suck. What atma do you use to speed them up?
|
|
 |

Yeah that was my feeling too, hence a test to see the difference. I thought /war was better but not 24% better. The other job's dps is fairly similar in the two runs.
I don't think /Nin with something like ikenga's axe will be better than /war. It won't unless you're using lolTri-Edge and stick with Calamity only (and mistral axe i suppose).

I feel like abyssea lights campaign just sorta... *** up your ability to farm pop item chests (low amber light), doesn't it?
Do yall just wait for the campaign to be over and pick up farming then?
Trying to do apademak and Im almost entirely just getting blue chests, it completely ruins my ability to farm :/
Any workarounds or do I just suffer and wait for campaign to be over?

What if I want every character to have a lisp?
Send me 100€ in bitcoin and I will make this abomination.
The issue with this is detecting it, which isn't too straightforward to do, or at least making a list of all cardian NPC names. If anyone provides me with either of those, I can add it easily.

I do admit, displaying the remaining time as seconds is by far the *worst* way to choose and smells borderline intentional as malicious compliance *or* as a joke to troll us.
Until you realize they could have given us all of the times in Vana'diel and not earth...

Actually we were discussing why 12-14 year old girls in the UK feel the need to carry knives and hatchets for their protection.
They don't is the real answer.
The media *loves* to exaggerate.

You could theoretically have one of or both of the Monks sub drk for extra absorbs, if you wanted to, couldn't ya? 1 MNK should be enough if needed, yeah. Honestly I'm not too fixated on figuring out how to adjust for Hard mode Aminon since I'm still like half a year away from needing to attempt it. Finishing my first prime a few days after free play starts, then I have a lot of Emp+3 to upgrade (including some MNK stuff, lol).
Hey Sterk
Is backline > Caster's Roll + Monk's Roll?
My bad didn't see that post Caster's is all that matters. As stated, I only have the MNKs doing damage and Aminon still dies in about 5 mins.

Rytaal : A new Imperial Army I.D. tag can be issued at 4/9/1465 0:59.(Earth Time: Nov. 1, 2024 11:31:11pm)
There are already systems in place that give exact time until event availability, instead of telling you when stuff will be available in hours/minutes/seconds. Thats just one example I was able to find in my logs.
Though not availability, I think mog locker is broken down the same way too.
Inb4 TOAU is only time they did this

If it's integrated further up, it would start to border on spaghetti code to do it at all.
The answer to that is almost certainly "it is".
I'm sure its not written in python either, but also if windower can inject lots of log messages via lua plugins, not exactly rocket science for SE to have some client side way to pretty print messages from the server. Not that I want to blame the guy now trying to fix a problem invented by someone else years ago...

But she is a minor, so she needs two hands to hold it

Sorry for the quick reply, but I was just waiting to see who would fall for this trap.
I had this answer ready since I posted the first comment.
