Yup, those look like goof balls.

Source: I have 2 goofballs myself.

I didn’t know about the replica thing. That’s great info. I had planned on keeping it, but now it seems like I get to skip the first leg of that quest with no regrets! And yeah, I forget to equip those damn gloves EVERY TIME.

Pushing through post-StB to finally get into Shadowbringers. Maxed out rep for Ixial tribe. Unlocked Eureka Pagos. And finished Zodiac Animus for bard, which took FOREVER.

That seems to be pretty common. Lol. I’m trying not to spend too much time there as I’m trying to plow through to Shadowbringers, but a guy needs a break sometimes, yanno?

I unlocked HoH finally. Finally made it to Stormblood and had to go back to PotD and clear floor 50 to unlock. Ended up in a party of 4 DPSs, but we got it done!

Drive it like you stole it. You’re gonna do poorly for a long time until you get your head wrapped around it, so just be curious and see if that thing DOES kill you. Then you know to avoid it. There are some good tutorials on YT that can help. Might be a bit dated, but should get you a decent start. Good luck!
