Apparently Paladin’s cover is enough to spare the life of a healer as well. So if you have a Paladin tank, one healer in that alliance can sac themselves while the other gets shielded through it and can quickly start bringing others back up.
Makes me wonder why they even bothered to have 7 different notes instead of 6, with B# and E# as valid notation.
Just wanted to remind folks looking at the job changes that potency numbers you see may not always mean the same thing from job to job.
Potency is meant to give you a sense of how powerful certain abilities in a kit are compared to another, but potencies across jobs are not always equal. A Paladin potency may not be the same as a Samurai potency may not be the same as a Sage potency, etc.
I mean it could be better, though. Could do with fewer natural disasters, or perhaps another continent in the Pacific so it isn’t so empty. Or maybe burritos that grow on trees and a mild concentration of opium in the air. That’s the Earth I’d want to live on.
TBH I’d give earth a B or a C.
I feel like there must be a better planet out there somewhere.
I’d take this option over what they did last time for the same mount, where I had to spend way too much money on candy bars I don’t even like, send them a photograph of a receipt, and then wait several days for someone to look at it and go “Ok, here’s your mount code”
I love this one. Usually you’d expect Black Mage to be depicted as a god of destruction, but this time they opted for adorable. I dig the sorta papercraft style they were going for, too.
They can change their logo to whatever they want but actually calling it “MTN DEW” abbreviated and in all caps like that just seems cringy. It’s trying way too hard to be a “BRAND”, as if just spelling the word “Mountain” and using fewer capitalizations will plummet the stock prices.
This is the mentality I’ve taken as well. It is rare that prices of goods fluctuate so significantly that I am taking a huge loss by rebuying. I only stock up on a few things like monster materials that are a pain to farm on demand and (for that reason) tend to be pricier on the market boards, but Botany and Mining, I either buy back from the markets or put on a good show on my other monitor and farm in bulk when I need a lot.
If anyone is planning to maximize EXP gains on day 1 for new jobs or whatever job you are taking through the MSQ, there’s prep you can do this week and on Tuesday to start with a good leg up.
In sum, on one day, you get EXP for:
2 Wondrous Tails
9 Pixie Quests (3 must be for a current job)
9 Arkasodara Quests (3 must be for a current job)
That should get you about 2 levels with relatively low effort, and then you still have your roulettes and weekly challenges available for more EXP. Though if you want to do roulettes, pick something role-agnostic like Frontlines or make sure you have a healer/tank friend to group with, because those DPS queues are going to be LONG.
Other than that, my FC has over 2 weeks of Rank 3 EXP buffs available, and the job quests themselves should help get some good starting EXP as well.
And remember that Azeyma’s earring gives you bonus EXP up to and including level 90, so feel free to swap out your level 90 earring for a level to get bonus EXP until 91.
I wouldn’t bet on the new jobs getting Manderville relics, unfortunately. They don’t typically add old relics for new jobs. Sadly no Bozja relics for Reaper or Sage, for instance.
Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry.
Nice to see some Duskwight representation!

It’s just a shame that they failed to see what made the original Wii Sports so successful: it came with the console.
If they had Switch Sports available on day 1, free for all Switch owners, and then added DLC on top of that, they’d have made a mint.
the main difference in many third party Switch games compared to their MS/Sony counterparts is mostly just running at 30 vs 60 FPS with no other major graphical or gameplay changes.
I would disagree on this point.
Many third party games that release on Sony/Microsoft consoles and Switch do feature noticeably downgraded graphics, even comparing PS4/Xbox One to the Switch. Whether that prevents someone from enjoying those games is entirely down to personal preference, but I think it is disingenuous to say that the framerate and resolution are the only differences.
Take a look at the Digital Foundry comparison between The Witcher 3 on Switch versus (standard) PS4 and you’ll see a good example of all the optimizations and trimming that they had to do to get the Switch version running at passable framerates. It still runs well, and it’s still a fun game, but if someone is looking for high visual fidelity, they’d be better served with any other platform (and notably, the PS5/Xbox Series received visual enhancements to take advantage of the better hardware for their respective ports of the game).
It’s not as common as the Wii days, but the Switch still does see neutered versions of some games ported to the system. Kingdom Hearts 3, for example, doesn’t even run on the console. The Switch just streams it from the cloud. So when those servers eventually go down, that’s it, no more game. It’ll be effectively un-released. EA never stopped the old strategy for their FIFA games either (while they still had the rights to that franchise) where the Switch versions of the game were simply missing features available on other platforms for some arbitrary reason.
This was the surprise of the Direct for me. Beautiful style, and the gameplay seems very reminiscent of Ori, which I loved.
Loose small produce like beans or cherries - keeps them all together.
Moistened produce like kale or cilantro - keeps everything else in the bag from getting wet.
Produce with flaky detritus like onions or garlic - keeps pieces of peel from getting everywhere.
Raw meat prone to leakage - keeps other items in the bag from being exposed to potential pathogens.
They sell reusable mesh bags to help with the first scenario, but they aren’t really helpful for the other 3. I also try to be mindful of not buying more reusable bags I don’t need because most of those end up in landfills long before the 100/200/500/20,000 uses needed to offset the number of plastic bags you’d use otherwise.
Paper bags would help for the first and third scenarios as well, but not the other two. And single-use paper is nearly as bad.
Can confirm, I was able to run it yesterday without issue. If you load into Syrcus Tower and people start to panic, just reassure them that it is no longer bugged.
That being said, every once in a blue moon I run into encounters where folks with the frog buff keep it long enough to melt the safety ice that spawns second, so make sure the frogs don’t get too overzealous freeing people.
