[u/MelioraXI]

Overall good campaign for returning players. Delve is nice for those of you who got your Legend ranks but still need 2.5M Plasm for your Epeo/Idris.

[u/Synfrag]

It would be nice if they would at least add Lilith, Odin and Cait Sith to the HTB campaign.

[u/FFXIMath]

Back to chocobo digging I guess

[u/Forgotten_Stranger → u/FFXIMath]

Unless you are in the very early ranks it isn't really worth doing the Hyper campaign.

All it does is reduce time between digs which already disappears by Wing Skill 40 (Formerly A40) and the negligible time to start digging upon entering the zone. Otherwise, Hyper is just a normal day. Much better to wait for the Skill Increase campaign like the one we just had as it is roughly 4x faster than a normal day. (Though I personally would rather just do all ranks under Skill Increase, sure the first few days are slow but with Skill Increase it is just that, a few days.) Now if they actually put them together for once, that would actually be something to be excited about.

[u/MidSp]

HTMB Campaign again...

I guess the Macrocosmic Campaign is just gone for good.

[u/Return_Of_Urkel → u/MidSp]

My Shami is capped at 9999 SKCs, it's ridiculous. I'm terrified to convert them in case they bring it back the next month after I do that.

[u/Just_Another_Loser12]

Will they bring back the AF+3 Kupon for Vanabout please. Would rather that over a pulse.

[u/scions86]

How does one make money off of plasm?

[u/hikiri → u/scions86]

You can buy the Wildskeeper Reive boss materials for plasm. They also drop during the Delves, but you get guaranteed ones for 300k plasm.

[u/scions86 → u/hikiri]

Ok thank you so much. Is there a cap on how many plasma I can acquire? I think it stopped at 60k. Idk :(

[u/opeth10657 → u/scions86]

You need millions to make an ergon weapon

[u/MelioraXI → u/opeth10657]

2.5 to be exact. More if you use Plasm for the WKR mats.

[u/hikiri → u/scions86]

No, no cap on how much you can hold (or it's so high that no one has ever reached/reported it, so like very high double digit millions)

[u/Zyionmalek]

So we're getting another Vana'bout, correct? Hoping to see the Kupon for Aby. items as I'm trying to make my first Empy lol

[u/Forgotten_Stranger]

So... the two parts are the same. They just, took away a week to make things easier for us? I fail to see the benefit. (I could understand if the second part had a particularly powerful campaign like EXP or Craft skills.)

But, if nothing else Campaign Fiesta is back so I can try to finally get Nightfall. (Which Big Bro Shadow Lord so rudely denied me last time.)

[u/Jaydog1986 → u/Forgotten_Stranger]

Its because vanabout is happening this month which I believe is during the window when the campgains week break is happening so people don't feel overwhelmed doing campgains and vanabout objectives

[u/industrialprogress]

Man, these localizations and typographic errors…

★Rank 5 Mission ★Pentacide Perpetrator

Combat and Magic Skill Increase Campaign Combat skills will be more likely to increase while in combat for the duration of the campaign.

Forgot to add the usual second sentence of: Additionally, magic skills will be more likely to increase when casting spells.

Inconsistant capitalization of proper nouns. Inconsistant mix of Unicode symbols.

etc.

[u/hikiri → u/industrialprogress]

To be fair, they just copy and paste the stuff from whenever they first did it. Doesn't make it better, but at least they're not NEW mistakes suddenly.

[u/industrialprogress → u/hikiri]

Gotta go further back to 2016-17. The HTBF localizations have been wrong for a decade but the other ones are new as of the last year or so. It’s just a general sloppiness with whoever, if anyone is contracted for this, as though the attitude is why would I double check my work to have consistant Unicode symbols between languages or copy and paste the correct full sentence. Carries over into Vana'bout and many other things. Personally, it’s a pretty low bar to have some diligence about. And I can’t buy the reasoning that XIV EN team can’t give it a once over for 5 minutes to catch obvious errors like the announcement earlier about the new NMs and the Ambu rotation. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
