anyways. back to regularly scheduled content

hanging out with the only npc from the archer quests :) so happy there isnt anyone else involved with them :) just me and leih :)

already noticing changes to msq. primarily reduction in the # of open world enemies needed to kill to complete a quest

oh man this is amazing so far... if the removed quests are the ones i think they are im confident ill be able to swing a 12h arr run at some point

had it not been for the laws of this land i would have slaughtered you

stopping at level 17 coz i still need to do roulettes on vio and im fading fast

they de-nerfed the level 15 instance

gridania starting quests changes that ive seen

- "the butcher of greentear" (killing 8 hogs) has been removed
- # of anoles to kill has been reduced from 6 to 3, # of eggs needed to collect has been reduced from 3 to 1
- the # of chigoes to kill has been reduced from 8 to 4

- the quest that required you to travel to the southernmost point of the central shroud has been removed
- msq exp is significantly boosted
- hunting log is the same (i didnt really expect a change but i thought id check anyways)
- class quest mob kill requirements are the same

btw the fastest way to attune in limsa is
- from airship landing, go to drowning wench
- aftcastle -> marauders guild -> cul guild
- go down the ramp
- aetheryte -> hawkers alley -> arcanists guild
- tp back to aetherye, run south to attune to fish guild
- done!

miss peas was my 26th arr run, this will be #27 :+D

the addition of aetherial jewelry to low level dungeons + guaranteed piece of gear at the end is SUCH an amazing addition, leveling jewelry is not always readily available + accessible. people scalp the shit out of it on marketboards

without a doubt the biggest qol update

quick tip in case anyone doesnt know: when a quest requires you to use a key item, you dont have to open the inventory interface to select it. you can just click the itty bitty icon next to the quest name

low level weapon coffers!

no change in the 15-20 quests

the quest after choosing your GC now includes a short cutscene prompting you to speak to an NPC to get your chocobo, as it is now required to complete msq.

- level 20 "we come in peace" quest no longer requires you to kill 3 swarms of hornets
- the # of npcs you have to /dance for in little solace has been reduced from 6 to 3!

tip: if you /dance while your character is still walking, it skips the animation but still counts ;+)

in lv21 quest "forest friend" , the # of ziz and gall gnat kills have been reduced from 6 to 1, and the # of brownie bushes you need to collect has been reduced from 5 to 3 (i think)!! one of the brownie bush locations has been moved too! that saves an ENORMOUS amount of time

this is actually kind of weird because i've run ARR so many times a lot of this is like... muscle memory and i keep having to stop myself from going to kill extra mobs.. so far my predictions have been correct and im excited to see the other changes

it no longer takes 5 steps to fill a bucket of water. buscarron now gives it to you directly!

# of coeurl pup kills in "microbrewing" has been reduced from 5 to 3 and you no longer have to retrieve an item

in "nouveu riche" , laurentius's location has been moved, and the # of times you're required to speak to him has been reduced from 6 to 3.

pretend i spelled nouveau right

the lv25 quest that required you to fetch a scroll from the qiqirn lair in e. thanalan has been removed
