I'm pretty happy that the chocobo racing is similar to mario cart and not just regular racing

Carbontwine from the weekly CT quest, eh? Good. I can finally upgrade my Poetics gear (I refuse to do Hunts and have so far only beaten T10 and 11, so... yeah).

They are not items. If they were they'd be in the item list at the bottom. I don't think there is going to be any RNG item drops in this. Sounds like straight up light farming to me.

Aaaand bunny head only for female...

And if ruin and ruin II MP reduced, SCH's MP took forever to make it empty lol

Each card has a nice little lore-tastic description of the enemy/character/thing. I love it. That right there is reason enough for me to try and win em all!

I can imagine them doing it again. Light Farming isn't that bad. Compared to RNG fates and dungeons anyway. I just hope that if they end up doing it again you have a better way of tracking your progress.

Could just be like bring me 12 of each atma and not need new items

Why do I get the feeling that, we have to gather light for EVERY mahatma?
Attach mahatma of the lion > gather lights > attach mahatma of the whatever > gather lights and so on..
I really hope I'm terribly mistaken..

Im guesing the mahatma is the same as when we Soulglazed our relics for nexus, dont think it will be a new type of atma grind again :p ofc this is just what i think, have to wait and see :D

Yeahhhhhhh carbontwine weekly quest. No hunts for ME!!!!!! Also I just finished my zodiac last week just in time for more grinding >.< Dat fenrir mount doe <3. Totally glamming that bunneh set too, so I can be a miqo'bun xD

I'm a little dissapointed that we aren't getting an extreme version for urth's fount or for the chrysalis. I guess it's cool that there'll be a lot of stuff to do in the golden saucer but I really only was looking forward to another fight to sink my teeth into honestly.

This is 2.51 for a reason. In the past, .X1 usually just meant that we were getting small hotfixes and other things like that. We'll probably see big things like Urth's Fount/Chrysalis EX in 2.55.

Very interested to see what those question marked cards are. They have a HUGE opportunity to make Triple Triad a main focal point of this game. I hope they didn't mess it up.

And the scheduled tournaments will help make it so. I hope the format for the Triple Triad tournaments can be used for other events like Chocobo Racing, Wolves Den, and Frontlines.

Whoever does the patch notes every time has always had my appreciation, beyond being patch notes I love that they include pictures and often pre-clarify would be questions like "this hair style is not the hair style previously announced".

Also pretty excited to not do hunts and hang out in the Saucer, hate hunts and Saucer looks really fun. Win win?

Well I do hope that they can drop the RNG shit off this round though.

And someone mentioned about light farming for every atma, and IIRC the data mining hinted at that too.

That is very true. on Jenova too. Thing is, for these, its all going to be a matter of who gets on the server to access the market board first, and im already hitting f5 on the world status page, just waiting for it to pop on.

That's the vibe I was getting. I'm thinking it's like the books, but now you farm light instead.

low? If you have low DPS I think your playing SMN wrong. You do realize dots alone can reach 500+ a tick right? Then add in your pet, then add in your own DPS after Dots, and you could really be doing a lot of damage. The only difference is that is sustained dmg over time, rather than big spurts of numbers. I dont parse, but Ive seen good SMN's annhilate stuff and leave the other DPS in their tracks.

Err that's not how DPS works lol.
I'd say SMNs have the lowest effective DPS. Bards have lower DPS but their Effective DPS is huge (between paeon's and Foe's)

It will just lengthen the life of smn dps for fcob.

Zodiac is disappointing if it's copy/paste of nexus.

Quote:

Once your Zodiac weapon has been affixed with mahatma, you may increase its soul resonance level by equipping it and completing certain activities. Once you have achieved full soul resonance and your Zodiac weapon has sufficiently awakened, present it to Jalzahn, and you will be rewarded with a Zodiac weapon zeta of item level 135 that retains all the upgrades made to the original Zodiac weapon.

A weapon’s soul resonance level will rise by a set value determined by the activity being undertaken. There may be times when a bonus is applied to the soul resonance value ordinarily granted. By sharing information with other players, you will be able to level up your Zodiac Weapon more efficiently.

Resonance progress can be verified through the use of the Zodiac glass.

After receiving your Zodiac weapon zeta, you will be able to alter its materia-enhanced parameters. Prepare a sphere scroll of the correct type to receive the power of your chosen Zodiac weapon, then use materia and alexandrite to redo the infusion process.
* The materia-enhanced properties of a Zodiac weapon zeta will be transferred to a sphere scroll after being adjusted to item level 110 values. When returned to the Zodiac weapon zeta, these values will be re-adjusted to be item level 135.

SMN dps is not low just dot ticks don't show up in parsers good so people think its low. 8 man party dot ticks over 1k+ highest seen 1.7k on a crit in T11. Add garuda, ruin, and also poison pots work with contagion your doing massive dps. Now ruin is less mp just trying to cover the cries of SMN's saying there mp is gone.

Yes, and dots tick every 3 seconds. 500 damage every 3 seconds is 166 DPS [Damage Per Second] When you think about it that way, 500 dot dmg really isn't a lot.
BUT I do agree that SMN dps is not as terrible as it seems, just there sustain. Case in point, my Coil static SMN was pulling about 520 on Cerberus until he got killed xP

Its resource management, as has been stated many times before. TP-based DPS get Goad or Paeon. Very rarely will Ballad be played in Coil situations, but one of those 2 TP abilities will always be given.

Ive cleared FCoB and parsed above 480 on every turn so yeah I know how to play SMN. I'll grant that outside of coil SMN is really good on many fights. But at the end of the day our sustained single target damage is pathetically low, there is something fundamentally wrong when MNK/BLM/NIN/DRG can all hit 530+ on T11 and SMN struggles to even hit 500.

Parsers being inaccurate is not true, and hasn't been since SCOB released. Dont spread misinformation.
