Unless you go day by day post comparison. I'm weary to think whether there are more "active" ffrk posters compared to ffxiv posters.

Wouldn't be surprised, Heavensward (14's first expansion) disappointed tons of players who were hoping for decent long term midgame content and instead got exact reskinned copies of 2.0 era endgame content meant to last till the next expansion.

When you can do 90% of the patch content in the free 4 days login

Something's wrong

More like you can do an entire yearly quarter worth of content in every quarterly 4 day/96hr free login period. this isnt the place to complain about that stuff tho so i wont go into any more details, but there's probably a reason the ffrk threads are always so active. it actually gives you stuff to do on a consistent basis

Changed my RW to full synergy Lightning.

Completed all dungeons for the first time. Could have probably done this months ago but just no motivation. Getting Ramza's Shout and Quistis's Mighty Guard motivated me enough to slowly push through the rest of the story elites. Nothing really all that challenging, just some of those lv140+ dungeons if you get hit by any of the trash mobs attacks then it's instant restart and ugh I was just dreading that. Turned out not so bad, but it really felt like a chore, which I guess means I'm getting bored of this game


Progress is slow for us F2P. Pretty much 0 pulls in between big events means little motivation to play because the team doesn't really change. I find myself artifically making the game tougher nowadays by forcing myself to take all realm characters for everything until Ult/+

[Spira]

Doesn't cids missions make you do that? Soon?

Those missions aren't mandatory and the rewards are meh anyway. It's an extra challenge for sure but that's all you're gonna get out of it.

I haven't finished story either because by time I'm about ready to, we have weekend events or I need to do the story events and get the characters, etc etc and I don't finish Ultimates fast enough so

[Moridam]

i just caught up with classics, but i have 100+ elites left to clear at 138 stamina. hard to find a lot of time between events and needing to spend stamina on dailies though, since the stamina requirements per dungeon are generally higher it's a lot more difficult to be able to count on getting a stamina refresh off shards 1-2x per day.

[Melena]

Basically for me, I do Dailies right now Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday. Monday I do elites until around 1pm PST so I have stamina for the event to drop. Wednesday night if I have stamina left before I go to bed but not enough to full clear a 90 stam daily, I will do 1-2 more of the event dungeons. Thursday I finish off the event, and that leaves friday/saturday for doing elites. Once i'm caught up (think I have like 40-50 left), it will be dailies all day every day except for cramming in events on the weaker daily days.

[Kaslo]

Fridays are a good Daily too because StX

[Ratatapa]

My plans when i'm caught up is usually

Monday dailies til l1 PM EST then event before i go to bed (can do classic + first 2 eltie fight)
Tuesday + Wed = Dailies
Thursday morning do Event elite 3-4-5 + ++ +++ then 1 set of ++ dailies then save for ult ant +
Friday Saturday and sunday dailies

[synistar]

I have no set schedule. I usually do dailies when i'm at work to burn stam. Get most of the event stuff done asap so I don't have to look at them until Thursday. Dealing with the elite dungeon catch up. Lining up stam refreshes for when I have time to sit down and burn 250+ stam in a sitting. At least native shout and medicas are making most of them a cakewalk.

[Classikmage]

The only time I stray from my mountain of elite dungeons is when a new event comes out or Sunday daily. Elite dungeons still go slow as shit though, @ 152 Stamina and the only time I can do 2 in a row is if I have an 80+ and a 60+ lined up together, or when I get a stamina refresh. The difficulty doesn't bother me as much as the damned stamina costs for these dungeons. -_-;

[Kaslo]

So um, is Blood Cross the new Saint Cross?

It's strong, but I personally dont like the HP tradeoff. I won't be honing it.

HP trade off?

unless the description is innacurate

Blood Cross (5★ Darkness) - Two 1.9x Dark-elemental potency single-target attacks, for a total of 3.8x potency

[Kirin]

I believe it drains 25% of HP. Unless I'm thinking of another Darkness skill we get.

Edit: Yeah, I think the description is wonky. Blood Cross is 25% HP damage for the 2x 1.9 Darkness Melee damage. Dark Raid is +30 Atk - 30% Def 2.2 modifier.

[Zoii]

General consensus I have seen is that the physical Darkness abilities aren't worth it, but the magical ones are.

[Robertfb]

Physical darkness is only worth it if you have endark and are ready to heal afterward. Magical dark is worth it if you got enough hones to be able to do enough dmg before the 45 doom timer.
