Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
Last night, I got my Dark Knight Anima to the Hyperconductive (230) stage after a slowly mounting effort on the Unidentifiables needed for the base Anima (210) step. Luckily, Nothung is a pretty nice looking weapon, and it has a nice silver and black motif that fits right in with my current tank glamour. All I […]

Like many others, I’m sure, I spent most of my time in FFXIV yesterday running the first branch of the Deep Dungeon, the Palace of the Dead. I got through two full clears of levels 1 through 50, and I finally logged off with another partial clear. So far, I’m having a lot of fun. […]

We’ve had about six weeks of Patch 3.3 so far, and we’re on the eve of the first major content addition to it with 3.35 coming tomorrow. As we approach the Palace of the Dead, I’ve been reflecting on the patch as a whole quite a bit, and I have to say that, in general, […]

First off, I am in love with crafting again. 3.3 brought a lot of much-needed changes to the overall endgame for crafters and gatherers. Red Scrips are now useful but not mandatory, as there are numerous paths to get gear for both classes, and there are also numerous paths to get materials for making the new gear. The main materials […]

Amid all my excitement about the 3.3 Patch Notes, I actually did manage to do some glamour work over the weekend heading into the patch. Most importantly, I settled on a new Ninja glamour, and after going through the 3.3 Main Scenario, I’m quite happy with it. Glamour Components Head: (none) | Body: Replica Allagan Cuirass of Striking […]

As expected, we now have the full 3.3 patch notes, which we can read obsessively since the game’s down until tomorrow. The main addition today was for items and recipes, and there are actually a few surprises to go over, in addition to things we had reason to expect. We’ve also got some rough idea […]

It’s Preliminary Patch Note day! I always love combing through the notes, as we almost always get some new information tucked away somewhere. There weren’t as many surprises in this batch (though I’d imagine once we get the full list of items on Monday there will be many new points of interest). Before I get […]

So for those of you who haven’t seen it (which, I have to admit, is probably none of you), the Patch 3.3 trailer went live today: Square usually does a good job of getting me excited for the new patches, and this one’s no exception. I really can’t wait to take on Nidhogg and hopefully […]

We’re just two about two weeks from the launch of Patch 3.3, and with 3.3 will come new Main Scenario Quests, specifically dealing with the end of the Dragonsong War. And that leaves me with a little problem. During the 3.2 Main Scenario, my Ninja glamour honestly felt a bit out of place, running around […]

Retrospective is probably the wrong word to use here (at least in a dictionary sense, since the patch isn’t over yet), but we just got our first Live Letter preview for Patch 3.3, with the patch itself likely coming sometime within the next month (May 31st or June 7th, if I had to gamble). Patch […]
