[pandatown tier 1 thinky thoughts] okay I've been awake since maybe 4? 5am? But hear me out

Someone's probably said this before I know

But seeing proto-carby really does explain Carbuncle aggro, doesn't it???

Our bitty foxcats still see themselves as that huge beast which explains why they're always ready to throw paws with anything that breathes near them

(If you do not know what I'm talking about you've clearly never had Emerald pull more mobs than you can handle because someone was thirsty for blood and it was not your WoL)

I was used to Emerald carry charging off up a hill outside of Limsa to throw paws with whatever it could reach and now I'm like "ah. I see. It all makes sense now"

I am blaming unsundered Tataru for Proto Carby at this point

low level arcanist problems...

the first summon ability they give you, you do NOT want to use

Low level arcanist life problems...

gd if it actually is unsundered tataru’s fault......

god, yeah, garuda/emerald were the worst for pulling extra mobs

I think it was REALLY unfair to give newb babies (me) the AOE machine

I still love that Tataru is an obscenely powerful Arcanist and has no idea because her runaway Carbuncle is still coporeal to the point that it went feral.

You learn about it in a side quest in the Sharleyan Hamlet and it’s like damn Tataru

god, yeah

tell us ur secrets potato

she's so good

Tataru is such a god-tier omnicrafter that she's legit using creation magicks

Good for her, good for her
