Ok, as soon as I got home from work and did some homework I completely rearranged my slime ranch because I decided it just took too long to feed them all and was impractical.
So, now I have:
Main Ranch - Honey Hunter Largos, Rock Boom Largos, Phosphor Tabby Largos, and Pink Slimes (will be Pink Mosaics once I get some Mosaics). I keep the Phosphor Tabbies on the far side near the entrance to Overgrowth, and I grow Cuberries for them there. Honey Hunters and Rock Booms are in the center corrals, with Mint Mangoes and Heart Beets growing right with them. The Pink Slimes are on the upper area near the house, with Silver Parsnips growing right there as well.
Grotto - I just have Quantum Tabby Largos in here. Also have two sets of Pogofruit trees as Phase Lemon fodder, and two sets of Phase Lemon trees.
Overgrowth - Just have Tangle Rad Largos here. I grow Oca Oca for them right nearby, and a silo for whatever I may need it for. On the farthest part from the slimes I keep a pen with Painted chickens. I also have some Painted chickens freerange roaming around near the slime pen. I keep the penned in chickens just in case the population of free-roaming ones dies out.
Docks -
I don't really do anything with this area because it's too inconvenient to get to since I don't have any teleporters yet. I have my Puddle Slimes in the free pool, a silo, and three gardening patches for if I ever need them.
Lab -
I keep Crystal Dervish Largos in the farthest plot, with Heart Beets growing right nearby (I'll switch these for Prickle Pears as soon as I am able to). As far as possible from the Crystal Dervishes, I have an Incinerator for Fire Slimes. And then on the two remaining patches I have chicken pens with just normal chickens, as fodder for the Fire Slimes.
So yep! Quite pleased! Once I get the last two things I need (Mosaic Slimes and Prickle Pears) I'll focus more on Slime Science stuff and making my farm look pretty.

Slime Rancher!
I got Slime Rancher for PC yesterday! And I could not be happier with it! I've been playing it practically non-stop when I'm able to. Review may be incoming at some point.
But I thought I'd just share / brag a bit about my ranch right now, because I'm wicked proud of it. I am 7Zee rank 14.
Main Ranch
Tabby Hunter Largos - Fed with Stony / Briar Hens
Honey Boom Largos - Fed with Mint Mangos
Honey Rad Largos - Fed with Oca Oca
Rock Crystal Largos - Fed with Heart Beets
Pink Rad Largos - Fed with Silver Parsnips
I also grow Silver Parsnips and raise Stony / Briar chickens in this area.
Grotto
Quantum Phosphor Largos - Fed with Phase Lemons.
I grow Phase Lemons, Cuberries, and Oca Oca in this area. I grow the Cuberries to convert into Phase Lemons. I also have a silo for leftover Cuberries.
Lab
Honey Dervish Largos - Fed with Pogofruit
Fire Slimes in an Incinerator.
I grow Pogofruits, and raise Painted / Normal chickens here. The normal chickens are for the Fire Slimes. The Painted ones are just for show, for now.
I plan to get rid of the Pogofruits and add in Mint Mangos next time I log in. And then eventually I'll switch to Prickle Pears as soon as I get some.
Overgrowth
Honey Tangle Largos - Fed with Pogofruit
I grow Pogofruits, Mint Mangos, and Heart Beets here.
I'll probably get rid of the Pogofruits and put in even more Mint Mangos for the Honey Tangles.
Docks
This area is such a pain to get to that I don't really do anything with it. I keep Puddle Slimes in the free water area, and I check on them rarely. I also grow Odd Onions here, and have a silo for them. But that's about it. I avoid coming down here unless I really need those Puddle Plorts.

Wow
Wow, The Vault is a lot less stressful as a DPS.
I took a bit of a hiatus from FFXIV because I've been so exhausted from work and school, but I have four days off this week, so I figured I'd play a bit. Decided to level Bard because I just don't feel like healing right now (it's such a pain to get back into the swing of it). Queued for Leveling Roulette, and got The Vault.
Waaaay less stressful than healing it!

Still making good progress!
Did my weekly Deltascape today! Still going well!
Actually ended up solo healing V 3.0 because the other healer kept dying to mechanics continuously to the point where it was a loss to keep reviving them, and easier to just keep going by myself. Got comms and was recognized in the chat as well, which was nice.
All in all, I'm doing well in gearing too! Got the belt, boots, and legs done today! Only missing the body and weapon! All accessories are done with Deltascape + one ring with last week's Creation tomes. Everything else is Deltascape except the body and weapon which are still Verity.
I'm planning to save up my Creation this week and next week to get the Creation body since that'll only be two weeks, while if I wanted to get the Deltascape top it would take me three weeks due to poor planning. Plus, Creation is better anyway. And then it's just time to play the waiting game to get all the Creation gear.
I'm very proud of my glamour right now though. I was having difficulties seeing myself in some fights, and I have successfully solved that issue. I can see myself perfectly now!
Because I am now shiny and glowy! And also the clothes are all white, which also helps me stand out against the background a bit. Much easier to see myself now!
Also, it just looks nice.
Weapon - Antiquated Aymur (White Mage AF3)
Hat - Kudzu Hat of Healing
Body - Augmented Cashmere Robe of Healing
Gloves - Thavnairian Gloves
Legs - Housemaid's Bloomers
Boots - High House Halfboots
(All dyed with Snow White dye)
I like how the body, hat, and weapon all have purple on them too. I think it makes it more coherent. I like it! :)

What have I been up to?
Playing FFXIV: Stormblood, of course!
I believe I posted before talking about how I had managed to get past the Raubahn blockade late on the first day of early access, but I'm not sure if I've posted about what happened after that.
After that, I got stuck at the Pipin blockade, but got through that early the next day. From there, it was smooth sailing. Leveled quickly. I was the first level 70 in my FC. By the time I was 68, the first few other people from my FC were getting through Raubahn. I had just hit 70 and was on my way to do my last job quest when the FC called me in to give them my speedy healer queue for Susano.
From there, I did EX roulettes over and over for Verity, and fairly quickly got a full set of Verity gear. Didn't touch the EX Primals because I was scared.
Omega Deltascape normal came out. I cleared it early on day 1. I've done it the past two weeks too. I have my hat, gloves, and my full right side gear is done. My guild finally talked me into doing Lakshmi EX, but I'm not really going to bother to farm it.
Capped my Creation tomes today; bought the ring, so now my right side gear is really and truly as high as I can get it for the moment.
I should probably consider farming Susano EX for the weapon, but I don't want to really. An FC buddy said he'd go along with me for my first time in there, but our schedules haven't lined up, so I'm kind of just waiting Which I don't mind. EX Primals stress me out, so I'm not in a big rush to do Susano.
I'm feeling good about my healing though. I feel like my old healing anxiety has mostly passed. It's probably mostly because right before the expansion I was doing a ton of roulettes trying to get WHM to 60 / finally work on getting better gear, and I kept getting Chrysalis and Titan HM (both of my old nemeses), so I kind of became desensitized to rough healing.
Probably also helps that White Mage just feels great right now. I've been trying to level AST too, but the healing feels so much harder. With White Mage I know I can heal through practically anything thrown at me, and still have more than enough MP to spare (if you run out of MP / die, just hit Thin Air + Lucid Dreaming, and boom, full MP, and in battle your MP upkeeps itself with Assize. Thin Air + Swiftcast + Raise for a free raise. It's insane). With AST I can get through the same pull, but I'm going to have MP troubles and it's going to be messier.
All this said, there will be no Omega Savage for me. My FC isn't a raiding group, and I'm not particularly interested in joining a static anyway. It also just sounds like too much pressure. I raided for a short time in WoW, and I just don't like having the set times. It stressed me out and just felt like too much pressure. Plus, my schedule is weird and erratic. I'll stick to running "casual" content with random people and occasional FC runs of things, thank you very much.

Friendly Reminder
If you love your healers there are two pulls you should not do.
1)
You know that group of 2 enemies early on (I think 2nd pull) in Kugane Castle? Yeah, don't pull those to the big robot right nearby. First of all, those 2 hit hard. Second of all, a ton more enemies spawn at that robot. Just...don't. I know the pack of 2 seems underwhelming, but it's much less underwhelming than dying because your healer can't keep up.
2)
The 2nd to last and last pulls of Temple of the Fist. The ones with the coeurls. Don't pull those together. Please. I just had to do that one. I think it's probably possible if your healer never stops healing, but if they happen to mess up and get hit by one of the coeurl's AoE in that mess then you're all dead because they're paralyzed, need to Esuna themselves, and there isn't time for that. And that's assuming you have a White Mage. I'm pretty sure an AST / SCH would be out of MP very quickly there.
Seriously, I can count on one hand the amount of times a group has wiped because I couldn't keep up with the healing on trash pulls. And all of those times have been on those two pulls.
Other iffy pulls that are doable, but not pleasant -
- Pulling the bird enemies to the pack with the dancing bear in Temple of the Fist. That one is doable with some careful healing, but it's not fun.
- Pulling enemies to the pack with the big Skipper enemy before the second boss of Sirensong. Doable. Not fun.
- Pulling any other packs with the bird packs in Bardam's Mettle. Doable. Not fun.
- Pulling enemies to the first pack of robots in Doma Castle. Again, doable. Not fun.
- Pulling multiple packs in Castrum Abania is just a bad idea in general. Everything hits so hard in there. Doesn't help that it never shows up in roulettes, so no one's really familiar with it, I think.

Some things I've noticed while playing through Stormblood
First of all, I'm level 70 now! Yay me! Got all the MSQ complete too!
Anyway, I just wanted to share some things I've been thinking this whole time. I'm going to try to keep this spoiler free. For Stormblood. Not necessarily for ARR or Heavensward.
- White Mage plays really well. I never feel like I'm running out of MP unless there's been a lot of raising. The Lilies are rather mindless but useful to have because I know they are having an effect on Assize's CD. Divine Benison is rather useful for keeping people alive long enough to pop a Regen on them and heal them up. Thin Air is amazing both for MP management for big heals and also for Holy spam. But mostly for Holy spam.
- I still don't know what the point of Plenary Indulgence is. I mean, I'll hit the button if the tank has stacks and is taking damage, but I have yet to ever be in a situation where the AoE bit has come into play because, well, Medica doesn't give Confession stacks and if I'm AoE healing to the point where Plenary Indulgence's high heal is useful then I'm not exactly Cure spamming am I? Whenever it would be useful to have, the tank has no stacks. Whenever the tank is taking no damage, they've got 3 stacks. And it's not particularly useful on one target because it's less potency than a Cure II except less reliable (the tank almost never has 3 stacks). I guess it's free though, but that's about the only benefit. It just feels clumsy.
- Why do White Mages still have Cure III? When do I ever use Cure III? Never! And now that we don't have the Overcure trait anymore it's not like we can even get it for half MP...I've used it precisely once, and that was because I hit the button by accident.
- Shisui of Violet Tides is probably my favorite dungeon in the game. Too bad no one is running it because it's optional >_> I want my healer bathing suit.
- The dungeons feel easier than the HW ones did. I remember having a lot of trouble healing the HW dungeons. In fact, even going back now (because all I get in roulette is Sohm Al?) they're still more healing intensive than the new ones. The Vault stressed me out to the point where I stopped healing / playing for a while. There has been no equivalent this expansion (thank goodness) with the exception of.......
- The last trial in the MSQ. I'll talk about this vaguely, but OW. This fight WILL cause your group to wipe multiple times. It will kick your butt. No exaggeration, it's just really hard. Maybe it's better with a premade group that has good communication, but with a group of random people? Nope, not happening in one try. Not until we all overgear it anyway. I did it once for my own MSQ and it just popped up for my trial roulette. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
- Ok, honestly I've figured out most of the mechanics of it thus far. I get it. I even understand the one I keep dying to continuously. The boss throws out a long column AoE across the entire platform, with only two safe spots at the corners (and sometimes there's only one safe corner for reasons I will not disclose). Every. Single. Time. This happens after the first time, I die to it. On my screen it shows me being safely across and in the safe area but then boom, knocked off the platform. I seem to be the only person having this issue in my groups too.
- Swimming underwater is really cool. It's just...I don't see much of a point in going down there if you don't have quests down there? There's nothing to do, unless you're a Fisher or Miner...
- That said, I saw people shouting in chat that swimming while underwater is too slow. It's not. The issue is that you're swimming. Some mounts work underwater, and go much faster than just plain swimming. I've been using the promotional Cloud mount, but everyone has access to at least one that works under water: Midgardsormr.
- I counted 4 Hamilton references throughout the MSQ. 2 as quest names, and 2 in quest dialogue. One of them in one of the last cutscenes of the MSQ. All of which were perfectly fine in context, I might add. The last one might not have been a reference and might have been a coincidence, but given the precedence of the others (plus the one from the quest for Alexander Savage in HW) it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
- The level 68-69-ish healer gear makes you look like Ezio.
- Every time I've had a Samurai in my party they die to stupid things. I'm sorry. I know there's good samurais out there, I just haven't met one :(
- People should do the darn mechanics. I know this is new content and people don't know the fights yet, but most of the time the markers are the exact same as they've always been. I've had a group ignore a stack-up marker before. A stack-up marker should not be a surprise that you don't know how to counter? And standing in AoEs has always been bad.
- The dungeon in Azim Steppe is really cool. Trust me.
- The only class I've messed with besides WHM is Bard. It seemed fun but very hectic. More than it was. Even with my Bard which is level 58, I feel like I'm constantly mashing buttons. What with Army's Paeon boosting your attack speed and Mage's Ballad giving you near-constant Bloodletter procs. I'm not sure about the Wanderer's Minuet one because it doesn't seem like I'm always getting 3 stacks of Pitch Perfect so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I'll probably level Bard up next.
- Red Mage is fun to mess with, but I don't think I'd actually want to play it. I like Black Mage more overall. And I did not like Samurai. Its combos seem clumsy and it feels like they have so many buttons compared to the other classes now. RDM too to some extent, but less clumsy feeling.
I'll write more as I think of anything.
