The Official Forum fail thread: This game wasn't meant for alts.

Fucking facebook page, I swear it's worse than the official forums in almost every way possible sans moderation (which just doesn't exist)

Somebody gets an Ifrit's Bow from a quick venture, people instantly QQ about how the game is too easy and just throws loot at you.

**Lucavi** · 2014-06-11 16:59

Man, I'm glad I didnt tell anyone about that Garuda's Wand I got from a venture.

**OWS_Tonx** · 2014-06-11 17:06

The OF man, I swear. Because only the best, most 1337 gear comes from Ifrit or any other HM primals. I think the rarest thing I've gotten so far, if you can even call it rare, was the inferno horn or w/e it is to make the flaming mantle piece

**Lucavi** · 2014-06-11 17:10

I'm still ready to get a leviathan horn randomly from a venture so I can really make all the OF posters pissy.

"Yeah I got a barding from my venture. Umad?"

A man can dream...

**Shaano** · 2014-06-11 23:35

isn't horn like under 10k

**Niiro** · 2014-06-12 00:16

More like under 1k.

**Lucavi** · 2014-06-12 09:44

Cool. I'll pick one up. I only check the MW when I'm selling something I scrounged up.

The recipe calls for like pure gold and three drops of Bahamut's ballsweat to make, in addition to very high craft/control requirements.

The barb is nothing.

I'm almost certain this isn't the actual recipe.

**Almalexia** · 2014-06-13 16:20

And the barb too, obviously.

**Alistaire** · 2014-06-13 17:37

The barb (on sargatanas) is going for like 700k right now...and that's the leviathan's barb, not barb of the whorl...which is going for 2k.

Far as the recipe, he's at least right about the gold. But anyone with min 3-star requirements can make it. Don't even need the master book, if you could hit 3-star without it.

**Rocl** · 2014-06-13 17:43

welp, time to buy a shitton of barbs and move to sargantas cuz it's fucking 5k on excalibur lol

**Cutriss** · 2014-06-13 18:18

They're actually about even on Hyperion right now, ~20k for either.

Yeah it's quickly degenerating into a "omg parsers" thread, the base idea is potentially sound though. 251 pie is a straight 2.5% dps increase on paper, not surprising someone would look to see if there's another similar tier.

**lilbubbles** · 2014-06-14 11:56

It started out kind of good... cause I mean, if I wasn't dunesfolk i'd put some pie on my staff just saying.

I don't get the parser hate though... its like, how can you do anything well that can't be measured?

Imagine being a race car driver without a speedometer or lap times, or a going on a diet without a scale, or invading a country without an exit strategy or condition of victory.

Some people just cry foul on it because Square Enix has said no to parsers, and others just think they're good enough on their own, and hate parsers if the numbers show otherwise.

**Ratatapa** · 2014-06-14 12:04

Parsers are hated for multiple reasons

1) Give some people Bragging right (OMG IM SO GOOD I DID 350 DPS YOU ONLY DID 200)
2) People don't like to be told what to do (hey do better or i kick you)
3) most parsers can use addon like HP% which gives an advantage to phases changes
4) TEHE TOS SAID NO THIRD PARTY TOS IS THE BIBLE

most peopel are hypocrytes anyway

**lilbubbles** · 2014-06-14 12:08

It's only against the ToS if you get caught.

Ya, i'm lazy and love my renauld spawn timer :D

Can you imagine these nice gentlemen driving down the road calling the police to report everyone going 1 mph over the speed limit?
