I was skeptical about Firmament/New Nest being a housing ward because.. IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BRUME, ARE YOU GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR HOMELESS

but then it turns out that Francel IS trying to attract people into it!!!

bless

also the HW Quest Accepted sound effect is the happiest sound ever

also lol I was able to join my first Firmament fate and THAT was an experience

the cap do no justice to the sheer number of people and movement and the SOUNDS lmao

like being an actual cog in a machine... splendid

but also the Firmament is turning out SO BEAUTIFUL

I still love my med in Shirogane but I might consider just getting an apartment here

someone on Twitter brought up how the Forgotten Knight was (most likely?) started by the one knight who left after the slaying of Ratatoskr, and now I think about it every time I walk in and hear its sad music

can't remember if it was after Ratatoskr or after taking Nidhogg's eye, gotta go back and refresh those lore notes

hahaha I love that the quest basically tells you "this is gonna take several minutes so get out of duty finder"

ahhh this quest is so cute

my Hilda cap didn't work out but Gaelikitten!

excuse me I think I may have tears in my eyes

uh oh

that inquisitor had one hell of a grimace haha

also is that our new custom delivery dragon! SO CUTE!!

EHLL TOU LMAO

hahaha and Francel's like "pls follow her! It would not do to cause panic among people" even though Ehll Tou is tiny

wow, when I accepted the quest I thought this would be a one off thing, didn't expect a story with such gravitas

one thing that strikes me is how spacious Firmament feels. Shirogane felt really cramped at some parts

whaaat this quest was so sweet T___T and the clothes look so good too!!

FRANCEL'S LOOK SO GOOD

HAHA this silly.. and the first place she wants to see is the Vault hahahaha

haha my first thought was "that's Taynor" and "do they use the same model for all Elezen boys?" but yanno, couldn't it be possible that it's Taynor but on the Source?

help this is so cute

also really meaningful that the dragon who wants to see the city of man and get to know them better is a descendent of Ratatoskr

back to gathering in the diadem /bitter sobbing

lol I scored an umbrella with the kupo vouchers! One thing off my to-get

just gotta get CRP/LTW/WVR to lvl 60 and then I can do job quests before starting the madness all over again hahaha

lvl 60 mates!! Now to do job quests first before I march to 70

wah gathering from unspoiled nodes is not utter bs anymore this is great!!!

I'm trying to get some dravanian mistletoe..

THE LEVEL 60 GSM QUEST

you get two commissions from two spouses who are like "this needs to be secret from my spouse!" and when the time comes for you to deliver the goods to the clients, you meet them at opposite ends of the Quicksand LMAO

THE MUSIC BOXES MAKE A HEART SHAPE THAT'S SO DARLING TT___TT

unrelated SOUTEN NO ISHGARDO

more random - I especially appreciate how the husband was like I'M GONNA COMMISSION A MUSIC BOX and both the NPC and the WoL were just like LOOKS AT EACH OTHER

wow I finally managed to complete one lvl 60 crafting quest OTL the WVR one is still on hold because it needs soooo many things

okay next, LTW

hkgjdsg I thought I had to do a HQ item for the lvl 60 WVR quests and when I accidentally crafted a NQ item instead, that moment of SHEER DESPAIR...

but luckily it didn't have to be HQ T_T9 this is stressful

I forgot to hunt for some skins so I have to go do that now lol

so I just finished the WVR questline and oh... tears T_T <3

going through some really tough mental times right now so I really appreciate the feel-good-ness of the DoL and DoH questlines

now to get leather and then I can complete the LTW quest too. CRP gotta wait till I get ALC up to snuff

doing the job quests brought my GSM and WVR up to 64-65 hahaha, getting close to 70 and eventually 80!!!!

I can start doing the Namazu quests too, yay!

I can probably lvl DNC with the Ananta quests because I want that Lakshmi dance hahahahaha

oh my god, in order to demonstrate that leather armour is legit, they sent him UNARMED into a ring with a mob

also I was honestly expecting Gerhardt to be a Bad Businessman villain but he turned around so fast! So nice

yah that's 3 lvl 60 quests down

MYSTERIES? THE GAME IS AFOOT??? I'M ON

ALC 60: WELL THAT'S ONE WAY TO APPREHEND A CRIMINAL

that's 4 lvl 60 quests done!! I can wrap up CRP too

whoops, gotta get BSM up to date on that first

okok so now I'm just left with BSM/ARM/CUL, and then I'm nearly done with CRP too

all the lvl 60 crafter questlines are great that it's hard to pick a favourite haha

the CUL ONE THOUGH

been so bent on gathering/crafting/all over again that I took caps but never really uploaded them, but some choice quotes

the BSM quest was super sweet too... Laurisse is everything

the ARM quest is pretty nice too, I cracked up because the gladiator's model makes him look like a person you might meet IRL

and that he's a fervent follower of Halone too hahaha

...and YOU!

weather update, it's beautiful on Eorzea

with this I've finally completed all the lvl 60 quests... now to upgrade my gear, maybe do some deliveries and them bump my way towards 70 and eventually 80!!

and also clear out my inventory, ggaaah

lol I meant to unlock Moogle beast tribe quests first and then move on to doing Namazu because Namazu had better rewards, but how can I say no to repairing the Zenith T__T

and all the pre-requisite quests were just HW feels upon feels too aah

Gyorin........

"Please pay me enough for these imperial guns so I can live comfortably for the next 10 years! ...no? Okay, can I have 100 persimmons to make dye?"

8 levels to level 80 on crafters mate!!!! Next is to catch up on job quests and then finally FISHING

doing quests to unlock the dwarf tribe quests now. The Ronitt questline spoke to me T__T

LALI HO!!

LALI HO!!!

omg I don't have to gather 101 materials for my 60-70 crafting job quests?? BLESS

sir pls take it easy

this thoooouugh, so cute (but honestly while Brithael's a good guy, Sekka you could do with much better hahaha)

cute???

LMAOOOOO

AND THAT SHOT AT THE END WITH BERSERKING FATHER

character development at its best

lmao the HW WVR questline was all tearjerkers and heartwarming fuzzies, and the SB questline is...rich man spending a lot on gifts for his geiko

LMAO their reactions

the whole time I was just waiting for Kotocho to trip up because people couldn't accept foreign dresses

lolol sir

the tennyo dance was rather unexpectedly martial arts

most crafting job quests: heartwarming stories about connections and perseverance
ALC job quests: MURDER AND MYSTERY

she's so cuuuute I left the GSM questline as the last of my Uldahn job quests because I kinda knew this was coming but this is still better than I expected

the BSM questline was pretty good and lolworthy but the GSM SB questline might just be my favourite so far

good quest good quest

and now I'm just left with LTW and CRP to catch up on!

then maybe I'll just take a break for today haha, or look at equips/gather mats for Firmament

hahaha at first I was like "oh no I have to run everywhere for this person T_T" but when she pulled off her magnificent SHUT UP BITCH my perspective did a whole 180

love her look too, her hair is so cute and the glasses just complete the whole thing

lolol Beatin shows up for this one scene and then presumably makes his way across the sea back to Gridania

Serendipity is my favourite crafting guild leader but Beatin is pretty lol too

all creatives should listen to this though
