I finished fishing up one of each fish and I'm still rank 8. I'll do Ken's shitty escort later tonight, probably.
Regarding quest "All by Myself"
I had to get someone to hold all of the mobs along the path except the worms at the end. Too hard to do solo without any help because too many mobs and very easy to get caught. It really is one of the hardest escort quests currently. |

I did something awkward.
I decided to play while playing on Youtube an ASMR video...
What ASMR video? Well... Obviously the only good ASMR that exists
ASMR of dogs doing a SPA session |

Random Question: When you talk to Teilsa in Port Sandoria (near N. Sando) and you choose "I want to do some Quests!", what does she say?
Every Town has an NPC like this, but Teilsa isn't in the Adventurer/Tutorial NPC page: https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial_NPC
Maybe folks with newer characters are more aware, but this NPC tells you how many Quest NPCs you have left to talk to, in Sandoria, Bastok and Windurst. (I don't know if there are more in other towns, but I'm not sure). |

Ya reckon the game keeps track of how many of the BCNMs and other fights you've broken the clear time record for?

I would highly recommend revising your sets for when creating MBs, and also checking with other party members to reduce their magic damage as much as possible. Any amount of damage is going to count towards that 'wall', it's not a magic number of 10k. That was the thought initially, but was proven to not be the case. A lot of spells go out to setup MBs with skillchain and debuffs. Can add up.
What does your SC setup look like? Some folks hitting in the 80's was because they were doing a shorter SC.
The standard 6-step SC with SCH and BLU -
Earth Element > Wind Element (Detonation) > Earth Element (Scission) > Wind Element (Detonation) > Dark Element (Gravitation) > Quadratic Continuum (Darkness)
Typical debuffs, including Impact (our RDM landed theirs before the SC even started). My BLU debuffs, Searing Tempest and Tearing Gust, each landed for 2k-ish.
That's a good point though. This is under the assumption that a 6-step is being performed. |

One of my alts finally got the jumbotender memento and when putting it down I received a pair of powder boots. I'm not sure there's a place where this sort of stuff is tracked?

I must say Im very impressed with the Google native AI assistance.
Most things I kinda asked on Google seach bar was very useful for my search.
Slowly but steadly Ive been starting to instead of searching terms, just sending my request or question in the search bar.
Thia is in line with a recent video I watched analyzing how Google took a hit from the increase in AI usage and reducing the searches on Google.
Seamlessly integrating both search and AI assistance is a very answer for this scenario

I found this funny:
https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionage
Quote: if AI models can be misused for cyberattacks at this scale, why continue to develop and release them? The answer is that the very abilities that allow Claude to be used in these attacks also make it crucial for cyber defense.
let's use AI to protect us from AI, it is imperative that we manage this threat we are creating with the same tool that is generating the threat! :/ I feel like we are getting close to mob protection money level silliness |

the day AI can write code at the level of a competent software dev it will be used to improve itself and we'll have a real artificial intelligence overnight Why would a code writing AI improve itself? And if it did why would it develop "real" AI?
Or look at it this way. If the common ancestor of chimps, bonobos and us could upgrade itself would the result look anything like one of its current descendants? |

Careful.
Talking of companies "competing" or having to "offer a better product" will have their defenders showing up to claim how immoral it is to turn to piracy because it is a better service.

Steam is the poster child for that model. Make everything easy to get in the same place and nobody will consider piracy for convenience (some will still do it for savings). Early Netflix also did a good job, before streaming split into 8 different apps with their own exclusives.

Customer service representatives are classed as "unskilled work". This is the kind of work that has you follow a script with prompts on what to say based on customer responses.
The sort of thing an "AI" can do better than a human since an AI can't get mad at the customer for abusing them or talking ***.
Yes, unskilled work is ripe to be replaced by automation. Always has been.

Attack Boost is meaningless in high(even moderate really) buff scenario, so that's like saying, "Well 2-hander WS had this one small advantage, so they *had* to make the 1-handed WSes more powerful than ALL of the two handed weaponskills by a large margin :)"
I disagree depending on what your idea of moderate is you're unlikely to be capped which can push those "weaker" WS' with atk boosts to match your go-to raw dmg WS' just on the fact it can push you into higher pdif, which can be just as important as having a high ftp . It's the better version of the ignore def WS as those do a similar thing but they have a lower ceiling since they have no dmg scaling.
As for 1 handed weapons, tbh I never liked either WS changes(1st being all weapon types, 2nd being h2h that came much later) as they seemed like sledgehammer level response to something that you only needed a softball bat for. Scaling sucked and had always sucked for much of 75-adoulin era so that needed to change so we werent just spamming multi-hits at 100 TP forever, I dont think it needed to be so heavy as it kinda threw everything into WS meta but that's how they went with it. But it worked for 1 handers initially since they took several more rounds to reach the same TP most 2 handers are firing at, but if you add in magians it throws a wrench into that though 1 handers still have the variable issue of just lacking native atk(and now PDL) to 2 handers and thats what's kind of balancing them out now.
It's really not, and they really can't. 1-handed weapons have lower pdif ratios they have to reach, so the 2-handers actually need that attack bonus to reach pdif at the same buff threshold. It wasn't always so, but it is now.
The damage is 3 to 4 times lower btw, before any other considerations. No amount of attack boost makes up that gulf. That math will never work out. If it did, there would be a lot more Lycurgoses on the street.
Go to the All Jobs Gearsets/Warrior page. There isn't even a Steel Cyclone set listed (it's just the Fimbulvetr set but with Lycurgos in the weapon slot, but still).
I wish it weren't so, as Steel Cyclone was my go to powerhouse weaponskill on Warrior basically until Ukko's Fury came out, if I had the TP for it (back when Ukko's was insanely good).
They really need to address this disparity between weaponskills, but not just this, also all of the weaponskills that aren't fTP scalers are in a bad way, and hardly used outside of AM3 triggers/Skillchain considerations.
Basically every WS that says, "Accuracy varies with TP" - "Ignores Target's Defense" - "Chance of Critical Hit varies with TP" - and anything similar that I've forgotten need to be tweaked up. And all of the WS that have attack penalties need to have those penalties removed (this goes for 1-handers with these traits as well). |
