Tiny Lalafell in a sundered world. My home for all my FFXIV-related ramblings.

Zodiac Relics: 10/10
Anima Relics: 7/13
Eurekan Relics: 2/15
Happy thanksgiving, everyone! This is how my morning started, lol.

I don't like it any more than the tank did, but the rules are the rules. You queue as a tank, you need to be tanking.
November 27, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Oh, I intend to!

Of course, have to properly dress the part!
November 27, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Now that I have completed the Endwalker Alliance Raids, my next goal is now the Pandaemonium Raid series. Time to queue into ...
November 27, 2025 at 4:17 AM
Still waiting ... Patient as the tides.

This puts me over 4 hours in queue, if you combine it with my previous two hours.
November 27, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Alright chat, we're back in it! Gonna find a group for this Alliance Raid, and I'm gonna complete it come hell or high water!
November 27, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Likely fewer people on due to the holiday in the US. I was fine waiting until enough people queued for AR Roulette.

The part that irritates me is that it took out all the NA data centers. They're still out and I can't get back in.
November 26, 2025 at 11:37 PM
Two hours in queue for Thaleia ... TWO HOURS!

And I'm met with this.

Haven't been able to get back in, whatsoever.
November 26, 2025 at 11:27 PM
I will not be deterred! I will complete this set if it turns me into a baked popoto!
November 26, 2025 at 11:04 PM
As a certified glasses-wearer whose WoL also wears glasses full time, I officially declare that "we love this!"
November 26, 2025 at 10:37 PM
Ok, we so back!

Well ... 47 minutes in queue and still standing around ... but I'm not leaving until it pops!
November 26, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Okay, THIS made me happy!
November 26, 2025 at 3:32 AM
Over an hour in queue until it finally popped. That said, intervening quests complete, and onto Euphrosyne.
November 26, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Pain ... pure pain.
November 25, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Welp, first one!

Also, no spoilers (do not confirm if I'm right or wrong) ... if I know the writing of this game, Deryk isn't just some rando NPC, is he? His design *SCREAMS* important to this particular plot. I think he's one of the twelve.
November 25, 2025 at 11:26 PM
It begins.

I'm 20% of the way to getting the mount. Fingers crossed I get it from the chest, so I can use the scales for the glamour, but ... we'll see.

Stage 8: Mimesis Lux

DRAGON BOOK!

Okay, this is easily my new Summoner Weapon Glam. I love that it's dyable, to match my armor. I love the particle effects. So damn good.

Also, I forgot the pictures for the last step, so I added them here, as well.

Stage 6: Sharpened Book of the Mad Queen

The glow is very nice, but the color doesn't really match any of the summons used in the Summoner rotation. I do think this one's a pass, for me. Welp, onto A9S farming!

Stage 5: Book of the Mad Queen

I'm on the fence about this one. I love the black pages with gold inking, but at the same time, the cover is more related to arcanima as a whole, rather than specifically the WoL's relation to Bahamut.

Stage 4: Hyperconductive Draconomicon

The glow on this REALLY lends itself well to the theme started by the title. It's quite a beautiful combination of physical decoration and dragon-themed particle effects.

Stage 3: The Draconomocon

Okay, I love the cover and binding on this grimoire. The way the adornments are stylized like a dragon, with the spine being clad in metal, really draws that "Bahamut" vibe that Summoners are known for.

Stage 2: Almandal Awoken

As typical, the 2nd stage is the added glow. Pretty standard, all things considered. The large ornament on the spine feels physically bulky and doesn't vibe with me all that well.

Time to complete another Anima Relic!

Today, it's the Summoner's Relic, starting with the Animated Almandal, which I had already previously obtained years ago.

And I can't think of a better place to serve as a backdrop than Turn 13 of Binding Coils.

This is Noah, my Keeper of the Moon alt.

Also, this game really needs to use more male Keeper NPC's. The only two I can think of are the one in the Allied Society Intersocial quests, and the one from the HW and STB Black Mage quests.

So ... given that I've still not found a job and ... only have $84 to my name right now ... I may have to confront the idea that I might have to temporarily suspend my subscription to FFXIV ...

I'd rather not if I could avoid it, but if that happens, I'll have to play my new FT account, instead.

There are a lot of achievements related to getting Relics, and all 10 Zodiac Relics have an associated title.

I use the 11th Zodiac Title, because I went the full distance and completed the entire Zodiac questline, even after getting all 10 relics.
