Wait you still wear darklight? Don't get rid of it.

Donate it to a museum.

Also give me the claw hands *rawr*

I always liked the DRG Darklight gear.


RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Kage - 01-12-2015

Turn in for grand company seals.

Buy hardened sap.

Sell for about 9k each.

Profit. (seriously, I've made millions of gil just because of it. Just don't flood the market like a dumbass)

Also do merc runs.
Have fun challenging self.
Profit.

My tank alt played GLD up to 26, and I stopped because... well, it was boring.

And AV... -shudder- I finally tanked it for the first time with said tank alt. No wipes, although the only reason we didn't wipe on Coincounter (I missed a stun attempt at a bad moment...) was that the two DPS were, well awesome (and friends of mine, so I didn't have to pug the thing) and managed to take him down from about 13% after I and the healer got smacked.

I'll add to the vent an admission, which will probably make me a target for others' vents: I'm glad my main is ranged DPS, because that made it a lot easier to learn these instances that I am gradually having to tank.

And a moment of Captain Obvious - FFXIV is very, very cruel to tanks in terms of learning curve. In TOR, I could tank like a bawss on my Bounty Hunter and Juggernaut, never had a problem, but tanking in FFXIV... scares me, in comparison. I have nothing but respect for good tanks in this game...

...unless you're an arrogant arse about it, and if so, go get stuffed with a morbul and cactaur suppository.

I've done Aurum Vale so many times now, mostly due to always being the guy who volunteers when people need it. When Frontlines first came out, so many of my friends were switching Grand Companies I must have done two dozen runs that week alone.

There are two instances I utterly DESPISE tanking for randoms: Castrum and Praetorium. It's gotten to the point where I refuse to queue as tank for Main Scenario, gil bonus or no.

Dude, I'd hand them over in a heartbeat....but they can be turned in for monies? Hell, I'm sitting on 50k GCSeals RIGHT MEOW.

See Kage's post above you. You can buy crafting materials from the GCs with your seals, then sell the mats on the marketboard.

I honestly wouldn't turn in or discard my Darklight gear. They're not so easy to acquire as they once were, and many of them make for nice vanity/glamour/roleplay pieces.

....that'll be your opinion, as the tanky Darklight gear is the horrible looking full body suit/flanchard combo. XD

The tin can is the exception that proves the rule. =P

None of the darklight gear interests me honestly.

I'VE GOT A VENT.

HOW ABOUT... WHEN I PENTAMELDED BOTH HQ KIRIMU COAT AND HQ KIRIMU BRAIS FOR A FRIEND IN MY FC AFTER GIVING HER THE COAT AND A FEW CRIT IV IN IT ALREADY. 5 CRIT IV MATERIA WENT KABLOOEY. When I blew up the Crit IIIs, I blew up about 8. Bought enough for about 15 total and get the 5th one in -_- ALSO 34% crit in T9. DAMN YOU 600 DPS IN PHASE 1 DAMN YOU!

I... I've only melded stuff when one of the crafting quests requires it. All my ARM gear is unmelded. Blush


RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Kage - 01-12-2015

One of my gear has like CP+3 overmelded over cap xD; I wasn't paying attention to whether or not the melds had failed xD;

But oh god the RNG in Pentamelding DoW/DoM stuff. T_T It's worse than crafter or gatherer gear!

AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO MELD 41 CRITICAL HIT ON SOMETHING. WHICH MEANS 4 CRIT iV AND 1 CRIT III T+T
