Not a chance. The absolute best teams might get it done in a few days. Most teams who started yesterday and are progging every day will be going into a second week.

I'm sure there's still a lot more to this fight than meets the eye too. Covering up this next part just in case people don't want to know anything, but this is just speculation without naming anything specific in DSR - There's something very reminiscent of the first half of UWU in the first phase of DSR, but nobody seems to have figured out how to make anything different trigger beyond simply progressing past it into phase 2 yet.

More phases of Dragonsong have been reached now, nobody has reached the cutscene though.

Very excited to watch someone else do it based on what I'm hearing, though.

If you've felt like recent weapon designs haven't been as interesting as you'd like, the weapon design contest has you covered!

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/ded289e756f96f1915b2c94eb7c049e14b39300a

There's a serious and a novelty winner for each pre-Endwalker job. There's so many good designs here it's tough to pick a favourite, but I think maybe Dancer was the big winner overall - both really cool looking and completely unlike anything already in the game for them.

In other news, it seems like weaponised umbrellas and parasols are the fashion in 2022, and I can already see the Elphelt cosplays now after that Machinist Flower Bouquet.

For those who play with M+K, do you have an MMO mouse with a bunch of buttons on the side? Ive tried doing keybinds for my hotbars, and its definitely overwhelming so far. Was considering purchasing an MMO mouse, and wondered what peoples experiences with it are.

I have a Logitech gamer mouse but it's not an MMO mouse with like 14 extra buttons. It's got 6 programmable side buttons in the same style as forward/back tabs on more standard mice, plus 2 dpi adjustment buttons I barely use. That works for me, although I have also rebound a lot of the menu shortcuts around wasd to be hotbar abilities, and have no problem with an occasional Ctrl+num. I don't often run out of buttons but when I do it's for stuff I have no issue with clicking (pots or tank invulns etc.). It's very comfortable but may not be what you want if you are trying to avoid all that entirely.

I've just got a G502, nothing too crazy. I map sprint and mount to the side buttons and keys work just fine for everything else.

It helps enormously to remap the keys so you never have to awkwardly stretch your hand or fingers, but if you don't often use M&K it'll still be a ton more buttons than you're used to pressing.

For reference my set up is three bars like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 Q E R T F G
Then ctrl and shift to access the other rows. I've also got some smaller utility bars set up to the side with job change macro menus and such.

Yeah, I also use a gaming mouse with adjustable DPI and two programmable buttons. I have spots on the hotbar mapped to those two programmable buttons, but everything else I have mapped to keys around WASD. So I have:

Q 1 2 3 4 5 E R T F MB4 MB5

And then Shift or Ctrl for the other rows, plus one hotbar off to the side mapped to Alt for common stuff like Sprint, LB, mount, and teleport.

Though I find myself struggling with Ctrl + keys, so I usually end up clicking those skills instead since they're on my top hotbar and within reach of where my cursor usually is. So I do a hybrid of keys and clicking. Gotta make sure my hotbar is locked, though, or else I'll accidentally drag skills off the hotbar when I'm trying to activate them.

What is presumed to be the big puzzle of the fight has been solved -

https://clips.twitch.tv/LightAbrasiveNuggetsFloof-JaI4-ofAJyiDmNqf

Basically, you have to preserve LB3 through the entirety of the Dragonsong War Phase, including the Eyes after you beat Nidhogg, then use a Tank LB3 to make it so you can heal Haurchefant to full in order for him to survive the cast from Charibert.

Then you have to kill the spear before it finishes casting Pierce. If you don't? Then back to Thordan you go.

If I'm recalling right, Pharos Sirius actually got nerfed very early on, so it used to be even harder.But yeah, it's still among the harder ARR dungeons if people don't know how to do things.

The egg fight can be hell since you have to actually know the mechanic. When they do their pass on 2.x dungeons I expect they'll change it.

The boss after it however is too easy and needs a buff, lol. 10 second joke.

The rest of the expansions at least make it easy to find the unlock for all the dungeons.

For 2.x I didn't find like 3 of those until I looked them up after beating ShB.

Isn't SHINE playing through the free trial? It's ok, he can take his time on story progression. He needs those FATE runs for the Platinum anyways, so he might as well collect Atma while he's at it.

Yeah as someone who actually did do all of the yellow quests as I was leveling, even I would recommend punting the relic weapon quests for now. In addition to being extremely tedious, it will also be even slower to do them now than when youre max level and can easily solo everything (the expansion relic quests are still pretty big grinds, but none of them are as bad or boring as ARRs)

Started an alt character so I could get used to using a keyboard and mouse (along with the two side buttons my mouse has). Made me a bit more comfortable when going back to my main.

Up to the 77 quests in ShB. The Thancred vs Ran'jit fight was certainly something!

It was definitely slow to start. I thought I was just pressing the buttons in the wrong order, or doing something wrong. Turns out, nope! A couple pretty cool cutscenes afterwards too!

Still have to go back and finish the last coil of Bahamut, as well as Alexander and Omega, eventually.
