I got Ninja to 60 and finally bought the last relic item I needed so I could start making my balls glow!

A screenshot of the Aetherwell Array for Dawntrail's relic quest. There's 4 circular objects that look like 2D orbs that I'm told should start glowing with aether eventually. Right now they're dull.

It's #Naomi 's birthday today so I worked on a new glam using my new favourite leg piece for her, an #lspmods mod👀 #auri | #gposers | #talimstahee

Naomi sits on on a rock with a mountain and a field of flowers behind her. She's wearing short black boots, black thigh high tights, and a black skirt. She's wearing a reddish-purple streetwear jacket with a black t-shirt underneath, both with yellow accents. She has a bundle of white flowers in her hair. Her pointer and middle fingers on both hands are out in a bit of a lazy double peace sign.

I can't believe I got this in what I thought was Levelling roulette. It wasn't until like an hour later said "isn't that in Trials?". Chat, I clicked the wrong button. Still surprising to see pop LOL

#wolqotd | #Logan I wish I had a better picture on hand, but Cherise is Logan's twin sister! Yes they look nothing alike, don't worry about it. Early on, she travelled with Logan and staying by his side as they became adventurers, but after he started to outgrow her, she felt a little jealous.

So far Logan only has two canonical Jobs - Paladin and Dragoon. If he needed to have a "Healer" role, he'd still be a Paladin, just utilizing more support/healing skills. Closer to the old cross-class skills, remember those?

Logan's never canonically a spellcaster, but sometimes I think he'd make a good fit as one if he grew up in the right environment, either in Sharlayan itself or at least as a goal in life. Not sure how that works out yet, but it's the occasional thought. #FFXIV #Gposers

Logan sits at a table at The Last Stand in Old Sharlayan, a bread bun in his hand. He's wearing deep blue robes, white gloves, and tall brown thigh boots. A far cry from his usual heavy armour.
