From all my MMO playing years, boss centered aoe is always snap run down, as you're generally at its butt, to avoid cleave mechanics; if it's centered on you, snap run left/right for whichever is clear. Chimera's tight reaction window, combined with FF14's dance DPS mechanics just screws with that inbred mentality.

The only problem with this, if you stand a little to the left of his back left leg, you don't have to move at all. I'm a war, tanking and never get hit with any of his charge attacks (even when the red lines stop coming because you can see the heads move up top) so it should be easier for a DD with nothing to focus on but moving. Ether way it's a moot point because there are spots they can stand and don't have to move until the ice circles start. And even then, the tank will move him to an easier to fight spot afterwards.

BLM is only because you have to dodge and their spells have a root.

Name please so I can Google it? I'm running the Gray Crystal Icon parser "FFXIVAPP" and to my knowledge it does account for DOT. Or is it only calculating the initial land?

anyone know if you haveto re-do the job quests to get the new Relic quest? (i.e.: if i have chest from 1.x do i need to go through the entire chain again just to start relic)?

Yep.
Have full DRG AF from 1.2x and can't flag the Gae Bolg quest yet, as I can't be bothered to do the quests again in 2.0 yet.

It's worth noting the job quests can be done very quickly. It took me around (or less than) an hour per job. Can spam through most of the dialogue, they don't span across a lot of zones, all the fights are solo and quite easy, and there's no need to go into any dungeons or strongholds to get the armor. It's dumbed down quite a bit.

Yea doesnt take long at all! Currently at Garuda Hard and only started the Relic process 3 days ago! Really looking forward to getting it and gonna keep my Mythology stones to +1 it. Its amazing though after 100+ CC, 100+ AV runs never seeing any DL and close to that in Hamlets and only getting 2 seals its nice to be only 3-4 days farming the tokens and have 2 pieces of DL and hopefully have a relic within a week or so (granted I can get the Garuda Hard and Titan Hard down)

PS - If you have any self respect never join a DF Hard Mode Garuda... Ever....

Garuda DF was fine. Took me 4-5 tries to get a group that won. Titan on the other hand... Yea. Good luck. I feel like the battle would be a lot easier outside of DF where you could do just 1 tank and replace the 2nd with a DD or another healer.

Any idea if SMN relic quest requires Elutide's Picatrix of Casting instead of healing? and it didn't specify which materia needed

Yes, it's casting, the description is a mistake.

**Neviskio** · 2013-09-05 13:03

So guys, tried reading the topic but maybe I missed it: I'm guessing the suggested way to begin is to buy weapon + materia and have someone meld it right? I got 50 on mnk but I'm a bit on the short side of gil(250k) not sure if I should invest 100+k considering that besides playing the ah, money feels short.I was considering building it but, got low level crafts, and yet did not find a decent FC that could help.

Just asking to see what's the opinion, I'm guessing it's a solid "yes go buy the shit dummy" but whatever...

**Waraji** · 2013-09-05 13:41

I bought the mats from MW, and had someone synth & meld it for me. Think I spent total of.. 10k on mats, and traded 2 broken materia for the materia.

Should note though, that the specialty mats from Wanderer's Palace can be offered as Tradecraft Leve rewards.

**Kicoe** · 2013-09-05 18:32

If I understood it right people can't enter the Hydra/Chimera fights unless they are at the current quest stage. Will they be able to enter/help after they are done with the fights?

Edit: Nevermind, can enter without the quest flagged apparantly.

**Arximiro** · 2013-09-06 01:05

Have any of you resumed the Relic quest? I'm curious where it will drop me. I was at the AV salts leg of the original quest. I'd just like to know where it will put me before I decide if I want to start a new one or just stick with what I was going for. (Was going for blm for usefulness sake in 1.0, don't really want to do it now) If it drops me at Chimera then it really isn't worth sticking with it for me.

(Asking here because I don't know where else to ask questions anymore, making a new thread is gay.)

TY

its fairly easy to progress thru the relic quest. Unless u were on like IF EX, they'll probably reset you to the beginning.

I was on CC, and it started me at the Amdapor glyph. I'd wager you'd be there or possibly one step behind that.

**Fondue** · 2013-09-06 11:29

I had done av/cc items and it stuck me at the glyph part too

It's casting and it does specify which materia you need: 2x Savage Might III

I'm quite sad that all those weeks of hamlet spam became nothing but a horrible memory with nothing from SE to say hey, sorry we designed an hour long Instanced fight where tanks spent 50min running around a GOT DAMN TREE.

I had turned in my double meld, was working on speed runs, and I just got caught up with 50sch/smn and the MSQ so looked into where I was at (I went brd in 1.0 btw) I talked to the three npcs and I was on the dhorme chimera, incase this hadn't been clarified earlier in the thread.
