A quick little guide for people who want to find a model ID for monsters/NPCs
Use the onscreen tab in penumbra while you are looking at a monster in game or load it up in brio! Make sure to refresh the character list and open the name dropdown and there is your model ID!

Servers felt stable Enough that I was comfortable crafting common submaterials and collectables for most of the afternoon
Then I took a break to go preorder the Yan keychain and immediately after I tab back over to XIV, a DDoS happened

Phil: Goldsmithing (all House Ayarane members make their own glasses)
Numair: there's no "Engineer" so I guess Blacksmith because Machinist weapons, and he frankenbuilds his guns >:D

Hikaru went from "good enough" (only having to feed herself) to "pretty nice" (after taking on several party members)
Having to feed and arm several people under your command requires getting good. :P
(her pizza, however, is "impossibly divine S-rank" because imagine half-assing pizza)

How good or bad of a chef is your oc? Are they someone people look forward to cooking or are they banned from the kitchen for several lifetimes?

Hikaru is the designated WoL among both my characters and in my shared canon between friends. Alts and others are party members.
This is actually more of a win for said party members because they have more freedom to deviate from canon events (though I'll still take a sledgehammer to it as needed).

#WolQoTd
IS your character the WOL? How did they manage it? Do they wish it were different?
Or do they have a different role in the story? Do they have ties to any particular part of the story if so?
Feel free to nerd out/lore dump!

I kinda just keep to myself/friend group for the most part? So I'm not up to date about what hot gossip and drama goes down here.
I just know that my roulette runs here go Smoothly Enough compared to when I do them as Phil on Crystal. :P

Hikaru is cis female, though mildly non-conforming. Very much "yeah, I'm female but SUPER do not care" territory. The attachment to her gender is low, but also she can't be bothered to discard it entirely and declare herself nonbinary either.
(She hisses in the general direction of dresses.)

Here's a video of the XIV Planner taken from the other site! I feel like it does a much better job of showcasing all 165 pages of beautiful #FFXIV illustrations—including pages to help log your crafting, gathering, and raid gear! ✍️

I have a very silly OC-related idea re: 7.4 trial
it's one of those things that could go in MANY directions because it depends on who sits 2nd chair to Numair in Cruise Chaser during the fight but ohgod the potential for hilarity.
gonna need a minute to chew on the specifics, hehehe

"Dragonia," while usable immediately, isn't given its name until after the Ifrit encounter.
Hikaru mentions having invented it while wandering Outer Gyr Abania but it was more of an "I've had ENOUGH" thing; she didn't know at the time that this was actually a named phenomena called Limit Break. 🧵

Been thinking about this a lot lately, so here's another rare #wolqotd from me
Limit Breaks - when was the first time your WoL/OC(s) used it? What happened? Were there any consequences or anything from using it?

Gonna be real, you dont need AI at all. Not with references, not with ideas, not to help you brainstorm, nothin. Not in games and especially NOT animation.
You dont need an ass-pat machine to help you and your brain. Ask someone who you trust to give you proper feedback without crushing you.

but at least now I can stare at a Yan while waiting for timed nodes to pop
