This wont work with CUL because low level food is mostly worthless, but I make most of my money literally just filling in my crafting log. A very large fraction of leveling equipment sells for a pretty decent amount.

You can, of course, make more money by researching the market as suggested, but my point is that you often dont even need to do that! As a quick heuristic though stuff used for leve/GC turnins will have higher turnover (though possibly also more competition from other sellers). Equipment thats used by a lot of jobs (healing, fending, casting, aiming) will sell faster than equipment used by few jobs (scouting, maiming, striking; scouting is the worst in my experience).

I dunno about you but battle gear has always been a trap for me. Casual players don't need or want crafted gear until the price craters, raiders want it ASAP on release and never again (and plus, usually know a guy). So the window for good money is like a day or two before it stops being worth the effort.

I agree with that on crafted gear. you may get lucky on day 1, but if you miss that window, the price drops by like 10x

I'm not talking about relevant gear for new savage tiers. I'm talking about just random leveling gear (particularly expansion stuff); it'll often sell for like 10-50k per piece.

The quest itself gives you the Thugs Mug and the golem minion, and you buy the king slime hat for super cheap from the Toughie.

Having a lot of fun as NIN (64) but I am very bad at it. I mean I'm fine with the general flow, but keeping up all the buffs and dot gets away from me for some reason. My eyes stay on Mudras too much. Specifically, I know the opener, but I just keep screwing it up for some reason.

Maybe just another rougher job for controllers?

Yeah Ninja just happens to have one of the most buttons to deal with so I can't imagine it's a fun controller job. Nailing the opener is also super important - the entire job is based around dumping all of its resources into the Trick Attack window, so if you screw it up it's going to ruin your whole day. It just takes practice.

Mudras are mostly just muscle memory. If you don't know, there's a trick to memorizing them: you only need to know the number of steps and the final mudra to know what ninjutsu it is (eg 2-step Chi is Raiton, 3-step Chi is Doton).

Being deep into ShB is making me remember how long Ive been meaning to redo my DRG hotbars (currently Stardiver is by itself on my third one, for a hint at just how bad they are) but with EW so close I dont know if I want to do it now or wait until 90.

Yeah that what's so frustrating really, the Mudras for me are efforletss. I have absolutey no problem doing all of them on the fly. The issue is nailing all the should be simple oGCDs.

For some reason my instincts are always to push the DOT as an oGCD but obviously...it's not. And when I push it on accident between GCDs my groove is fucked.

Good thing they're getting rid of it lol.

Ninja probably the easiest melee on controller. The others you have to be switching hotbars for your basic combos all the time. Ninja can neatly separate its combo and Mudra.

And all the weaves are around Trick attack, so you just have to practice Trick attack. It's 15 seconds, an exact number of gcds that have to happen and in most fights, those gcds will be pressed in a preset order. And the ogcds will also be pretty consistent. It just changes a bit if you have TCJ or not. That's it. It's all muscle memory.

And after Trick you just 1-2-3 over and over.

I honestly need to redo my hotbars entirely at some point they've been an absolute mess since literally ARR lol

With Ninja almost to cap (72), all that left are Bard (50), Astro (50), and Warrior (62)

So far Warrior is the only job where I stopped mid leveling and switched to something else because I was bored.

Using an Irregular essence in Delubrum is just... mmph.

You need to use your defensives to not die to the raidwides but then you get like the 150k damage Fell Cleaves and it's straight injected dopamine.

You need to play WHM in DR with Deep Profane. Chainspell and Seraph Strike? 500k blood lily crits.

Done that too but I prefer not to get yelled at when I turn my brain off since my only "effective" healing is Benediction and the DR from Temperance and Asylum.

The Fell Cleaves, though, you get five guaranteed direct crits, then more from Inner Chaos hits.

Looks like WoW is releasing their big limited Legion timelocking event the same week that the first Endwalker raid is supposedly set.

I know this is their thing that they do, but I don't think it's gonna work out as well for them time as is usually does...just my gut feeling....

Try the Peacelover's Pantaloons from Ishgard fetes. They dye subtly, though, so bear that in mind.

Are you going in duty finder randos and not a dedicated PF group? PF groups are so much smoother and are happy to accommodate dps WHMs.

How do you burst her down after the pillar phase starts before getting killed by the ice? Even with maximum burst window Samurai I haven't come close, 15-18% at best. And Paladin can't DPS fast enough even invulning through it.

Use nothing special toward the end of the intermission to make sure Reassembled, Air Anchor and Drill are up and that you have Wildfire + hypercharge available, and at least two shots each of ricochet and gauss.

Then, Reassembled Air Anchor + two weaves --> Drill + two weaves --> Wildifre combo should do it. You need good gear though!

Did you but the standard version on accident?

I just went with the digital collectors addition.

Speaking of which, the install on 11/19 is at 5AM, but I was told to expect it at 6. I assume that's the result of this being the first expansion to release outside of daylight savings time?

Twice as PLD, once as WAR.

Actual incoming damage on that boss is nothing if you know the mechanics, but if you don't figure it out you're basically fucked.

The healer always dies first and there's never a res job in the party, lol.
