@Drusenija Savage reclears progressing as normal, even managed to help a friend's static by covering a spot with my alt a few times (I love having an alt to avoid impacting loot, despite effort).

Got only 3 more jobs left to level: war at 90, gnb and drg both at 95, shouldn't be too long now. Leveling MNK on my alt in parallel, was about L50 a week or so ago, now nearing L80.

Also just picked up a 3rd HW relic to progress - BLM, this time together with my BF and another friend.

@Drusenija In Eden 9 (The Cloud of Darkness) there is a phase where the arena turns into 5x5 tiles, in Savage 3 tiles in each corner and the middle tile are death zones, leaving 12 tiles to move on - if 2 players occupy the same tile, it breaks; if a player stays on a tile for too long (~15s?), it breaks. There's a half-room cleave which requires everyone to scootch over to the safe 8 tiles, which can easily make players step into another's tile or be locked out of refreshing theirs.

@Drusenija Love the fights, the boss designs are excellent, mechanics innovative and fun (except for the random floating hearts in 2nd, same dislike as the running puppets in the spooky expert 1st boss), will need to listen to the music proper when I'm back at my home PC but it did seem good as well.

Really enjoying the transformative arenas in 1 and 4, but hoping we don't end up with PvP tiles in M1S like it was in E9S - it put me off from that raid tier, which I still regret.

@Drusenija Market Board as an extended inventory is what I highly recommend to others as well, as long as one is responsible with their Gil :)

A lot of the materials are super easy to obtain, especially in smaller quantities - a 40 min venture for a decent stack if you have a matching retainer leveled.
