I hope that they go back and revise Sylph, Amala'ji, Sahagan and Kobold's dailies so you can actually use the exp on lower level classes to boost them a little. I just started doing the Ixtal and it's already proving to be very beneficial and I see very little reason to go and cap on the other beastmen currently because of that.
So what's the thought on myth tomes: stockpile as much as I can over the next two weeks to convert to soldiery, or use what I have not before 2.4?
I just hit 50 recently and have nearly full AF2 so I would only want to grind myth to start my Zenith Relic.
Both if you can swing it. Rains from the skies so no reason to stockpile until we have a patch date.
Working on my 3rd stack of oaknuts myself atm as I've been doing it daily (used a few to make augmentation gear while it was still good money of course!)
Also I've got 2 retainers filled with tons of gear + primal weapons for massive amount of seals , and sitting at 49,000 atm also.
My body's ready (hopefully)
Famitsu with the Coil 3 screenshots - probably see something creep up tomorrow or Friday with coil 3 details on the official website. http://www.famitsu.com/news/201410/16063671.html
I hope the raid is something more than just a short walk with questionable fortifications leading to the boss arena
Preemptive disappoint, oh well at least the mechanics will be interesting for the first month or so. I wonder if they've ever considered making the encounters change weekly so patterns are not the same every time you go in each week.
Maybe I'm just dumb and don't know how to famitsu but 4gamer has higher res screenshots: http://www.4gamer.net/games/199/G019924/20141016082/
Was hoping for some boss preview Maybe there's no generic boss this time?
Random speculation:
004 is definitely a boss arena (there's an exit teleport past the inner circle) and the outer circle has jumping pads.
A new sketch came up on the JP "Art of Eorzea" page recently (saw it on reddit):
Spoiler: show
The winged lalafell and the woman next to him look draconic to me. In fact their armor really reminds me of the armor that Darnus is wearing. I wonder if these are related to third Coil at all? They did mention the "children of Bahamut" in Coil2.
Darnus:
Spoiler: show
edit: the more I look at it the more I think they just spoiled the Coil bosses. The flying snake (Shinryu?) and the hydra look like they're wearing "armor" that's similar to Bahamut's too.
Bahamut:
Spoiler: show
edit2: Hydra, Shinryu, Bahamut ladies, Lousioux. Four turns. IT FITS.
That looks pretty good honestly. At least these bosses mean something more than a generic plant or bot.
Edit: Honestly I hope that's not Shinryu. It looks like Leviathan but it wouldn't be the first time Shinryu is simply a name slapped onto some dragon/serpent thing you've faced before in the same game.
The chimeric tubes full of dragons is hype as fuck.
The text is really tiny next to the lala, but it says "This was a possible idea for a lalafell succubus".
The rest are all succubus and hydra alternate ideas. "サキュバスアイデアその5”, etc.
And here I was hoping for some alternate/fake Ark Angel shit.
Sorry boss. I wish your idea was correct. I would love to have seen that in game.
