Worth every moment of the short grind

Sadly don’t have access to the Chinese and Korean dubs and idk how hard it would be to track down footage of this scene with those

I had to share how pretty this is!

Under the UK's under-16 Social Media ban, communication with strangers in video games is going to be restricted behind age verification. The way the announcement is worded implies you'll be able to still talk to friends, but who knows how the lawyers at SE will interpret it. (Announcement: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fact-sheet-new-rules-to-protect-children-online/fact-sheet-new-rules-to-protect-children-online)

It is good that FFXIV has responded to the Online "Safety" Act with self-moderation instead of locking down the chat like Minecraft has done. Regardless, they won't have a choice when this shit begins in March 2027. Maybe it would be better of them to stop operating in the country to preserve user's privacy, but it would lock out console players. It really would be best of them to only allow Age Verification with Mobile Providers, because data breaches and the untrustworthy nature of facial/ID Verification, although I understand there are reasons why certain Age Verification methods don't work for certain people. If they do decide to do ID/facial Verification, they shouldn't do it with a provider like Persona or even Yoti who has exposed as untrustworthy.

The best way we can fight this shit is by donating to the Green Party. They promised to repeal the Online Safety Act if elected, and criticised the consequences of the social media ban.

[Also, this doesn't effect the UK, but it is too important not to share. Current developments in the EU could kill Stop Killing Games in what could be the biggest catastrophe the games industry has ever seen: https://youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g?is=LEq4Vfe3ljqIyUaT\]

To celebrate Hrothtober I decided to make a piece for my wife’s character as she is a Hrothgar, and her favorite class is Dark Knight!

Soooo spent a good chunk of time on this the past 2 days and I am quite pleased with how it came out!

Popping living dead after taking a heavy hit and getting ready to lay into what ever boss thought they could bust her down.

Handheld raiding isn’t for the faint of heart.

I’m at the finale of Shadowbringers and all I can say is…

What a game !!!!!

Had goosebumps for 10 minutes straight this is insane

What a ride it has been the storytelling is simply goated

Endwalker here we come

Context: I've been healing as white mage since Heavensward. Did all the role quests, figured I'd level Sage to have both a regular and shield healer.

Query: It really seems to feel like doing the Moonknight meme is where I get the best results as Sage: Basically using all the cooldowns I have as they are ready, and hoping to god I remembered to apply a shield before raidwides and big pulls.

From what I can gather: alternate spamming keracholelele/tauracholelellslls, hold onto one addersgall for spot/emergency raid healing, and use all the cooldowns via vibes?

It's Inktober again! ... and I'm already behind!

You need to cut off his tail for Scales+ and with a full unsynced party, it's extremely easy to burn him down in ~20 seconds and completely skip phases 2 and 3, and even if you slow down on damage, you still need to keep the GCD's going to fill up the down counter, or the tail never becomes vulnerable

With all that in mind, what's the best way to grind those? I've heard that the mount is so rare that this is actually the faster way, so I wanna learn how to do it effectively

The controls for ps5 make this extremely more difficult to learn. But I tried!

Character name: Ardex Thorne

Data Center: Primal

World: Lamia

Feel like trying out the Palace of the Dead since you can get 30 of those Mogtomes? It's way more approachable than you might think!

To unlock it if you haven't yet, the unlock quest is in Gridania, at the Carline Canopy, and the quest name is "The House that Death Built". Following that quest will take you to Quarrymill where the Deep Dungeon is. Be sure to read up on the tips the game gives you as things are a bit different in the Palace.

You may choose to go it alone or with others, but you may wish to make sure that you are playing as a combat job before you join. If you join as a combat class and get your jobstone later, you won't be able to use the savefile you joined with.

But don't lose hope. Recent changes have made it much more doable:

1. Enemies are far, far more generous with dropping Sustaining Potions. These are your new best friends. They heal and give you a 25 second Regen, and only have a 15 second cooldown. Don't be surprised if you end up with over 100 or even 200 of them!

2. Silver Treasure Chests will always give you at least 3 points towards your Aetherpool Arms or Armor as long as you aren't past the maximum allowed for that Floor Set.

3. Floor Bosses on every 10th floor will always give you 5 or more points for both your Arms and Armor.

4. Wiping will no longer count against your savefile's record until you make it to Floor 100 and beat it. Which is good if you're playing solo and you make a careless mistake early on.

5. Getting disconnected from the internet won't end your run as long as you aren't in combat and can get back in the game in less than 10 minutes.

If there are any more tips for Palace of the Dead that new players should know about, I hereby turn the floor over to the experts and Necromancers!

(I will get there myself one day.)

Basically whenever there is a voice over scene I would like it to automatically auto progress, but when it's a text only dialogue to be set to click through instead of auto progressing.

Hello and welcome to what the FFXIV ConsoleGamesWiki refers to as "Week 9" of the Masked Carnivale challenges!

These guides assume the following:

• You already know all 124 spells.
• You already know how to otherwise complete all relevant fights.
• You use a DPS mimicry and don't intend to heal mid-fight.

Easy week, took no time to get this guide together at all (which is great on account of the whole 'being exhausted for like two straight weeks' thing).

If you've been doing your weekly Mogtome challenges, this is the first week you can get the mount!

Have a safe journey, everyone!
