Goku VS Superman One of the most well known debates on the internet that has sparked countless arguments for literal decades. Today I feel like giving my two-cents on the whole ordeal, as this subreddit in particular is a bit too harsh to Goku in my opinion. To ensure no questions are left unanswered, I will be acknowledging every official resource for both combatants (such as DBZ Kai), though the original writings hold precedence; no mistranslations allowed. Also since DC has made everything essentially canon. For the purposes of the post, I will be using Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis, New 52 and Rebirth feats for Superman.

Goku's Stats

Goku at this point should be massively stronger than Kid Buu who had the power to make the universe go "poof", this is confirmed by one of kanzenshuu translators (Herms) twice. Kid Buu had the power to destroy the Grand Kaio's planet (9.96e+130J, or 866 Sexdecillion times universal). In his fight against Beerus. Their clash nearly destroyed the entirety of Universe 7, a cosmological structure 284916 times greater than ours. Uh, side note, it's worth mentioning that when two Gods of Destruction fought, they were capable of casually destroying two of these universes. Goku absorbed SSG into his base form. According to this post, to get the SSG multiplier we get this: 284916 X 50 X 2 X 4 X 400 X 50 X 20 = 45 Trillion times universal for Kaioken times 20 Goku in SSB. For another method. In BOG SSG was stated to be >Vegetto, Goku later on would absorb SSG into his base form. This is important because both Goku & Vegeta can scale to Buu's Grand Kaio feat, especially Goku, as he was shown even physically to Buu, his Kamehameha reduced Buu to little bits and he could've obliterated Buu if he wasn't screwing around and "tried to act cool". Vegeta did fare worse than Goku, but he was able to still hurt Buu, since we know SSJ3 is a 4x increase from SSJ2; Vegeta would downscale Buu's feat by four. 9.96e+130 X 2.49e+130 = 2.48004e+261J, 2.1 Sexagintillion times universal (183 zeroes btw) for Vegetto, which base Goku post SSG absorption would upscale from.
Like stated earlier, Vegetto is Goku X Vegeta and SSG is >Vegetto, this means the multiplier would be above both the SSJ 2 & 3 multipliers overall (400 x 100), Goku had SSJ3 (400x) and Vegeta had SSJ2 (100x), the total would equate to 40,000x. MUI Goku is stronger than Granolah, who wished to be the strongest mortal, putting him above Broly, who fought Gogeta, who is equal to Vegetto and is also Goku X Vegeta like Potara Fusion. So it goes a little like this: 2.158433e+183 X 50 (SSJ1) X 2 (SSJ2) X 4 (SSJ3) X 40,000 (SSG) X 50 (SSB) X 20 (SSBKK) X 40,000 (MUI) = 1.587225e+276J, 1.381397e+198 times universal for MUI Goku. That's around 1.3 Quinsexagintillion. The universe is infinite in size giving Goku infinite times universal strength.
As for speed. In his fight against Beerus. Their clash nearly destroyed the entirety of Universe 7 and sent shockwaves across the universe getting Quintillions of times faster than light. In the Buu saga Goku going SSJ3 shook the universe, sending shockwaves felt by Otherworld, which gets 1.2 Quintillion c#Goku_shakes_the_Macrocosm). Using the same multipliers here for the strength segment for Goku: 1.2208139e+18xFTL X 1.2208139e+18xFTL = 1.4903866e+36xFTL. 1.4903866e+36 X 50 (SSJ1) X 2 (SSJ2) X 4 (SSJ3) X 40,000 (SSG) X 50 (SSB) X 20 (SSBKK) X 40,000 (MUI) = 9.5384742e+50xFTL, 953 Quindecillion times the speed of light for MUI Goku. Speed in Dragon Ball increases simultaneously with strength; if Goku had infinite strength, he would also have infinite speed.

Superman's Stats

Now you're probably asking, how does Superman compare to this? Well, not as good as you'd think. Superman’s upper-limits are on the level of planet moving. When Superman attempted to destroy the Earth alongside other heroes while moving at max speed, the Earth had absolutely zero visible damage whatsoever. Superman has himself said that Martian Manhunter is more powerful than him, and in order for Martian Manhunter to destroy the moon he has to shapeshift into a much larger form while flying at max speed with assistance from bombs and even then, he only gives himself a 50% chance of destroying the moon, and he finds the notion of moving planets absurd. Superman himself alongside Wonder Woman, Kyle Rayner, Martian Manhunter, Power Girl and the Marvel Family strain to move the moon. Superman needed the entire Green Lantern Corps and a Multiverse army of Supermen to simply help him move the Earth. Superman says moving a planetoid-sized spore is beyond his power. It took Superman all his strength to move the planet that had about 80% of Earth's mass just 13 meters. Superman admits that there's only one being in the universe capable of destroying a world. And that being is not him... but Darkseid. When faced with a planet wiping collision from a massive monitor ship, Superman and Ultraman can’t take the strain and dump the ship on an abandoned earth. Superman was even unable to stand after being hit with the power of the Earth’s core. Superman was literally being crushed by gravity akin to a Star’s And was no-sold by Metallo with the power of the Earth’s magnetic field. Superman can’t stop a spaceship from falling into a Black Hole, and requires Green Lantern’s help. Superman, alongside Wonder Woman and Kyle Rayner, completely struggle in trying to move the moon and Superman even says he couldn’t do it again given twice the stakes. Superman needs to sleep for a month after Green Lantern helped him move the Earth back into orbit. Superman states he has nothing like the power to push planets around, and Lois states Superman moving planets is ludicrous. Got hurt by brussel sprouts, a machine with continent level strength pushes Superman to the limit and he nearly passes out from the effort.
As for speed. He is stated multiple times to be slower than the speed of light.

Stat Comparison

As evident Goku takes stats by a country mile. Giving Superman a bone and saying he's equal to the GBE of earth then Goku is 7.9 Octogintillion times stronger using finite ends; he's actually FTL, unlike Superman, who isn't.

Regarding Misconceptions

"Superman resists Hakai"
Now it's sorta confusing on why people state this. There's no evidence that Superman can survive erasure, infact, it's implied to be the opposite.
"Superman is universal!"
No he isn't. Firestorm808 debunked most of the feats, a very trustworthy source if I do say myself. Universal feats in DC are usually out of context. For example, Hal's U-Bomb feat? Only the energy of a supernova. Infinite pages? Limbo doesn't have any physics, there's no mass as there's no materiality, it's a living memory. Category error. Lifting Spectre who weighs eternity? That's a unit of time, not mass, once again category error.

Tertiary Factors

Superman is pretty good at fighting but probably not that good since he lost to Ali. Ali is good, but compared to Goku? No way Jose! Even Cell, who had the skill of Goku and multiple other characters combined, couldn't out-skill Goku. The Skill widens even more with MUI smh.

Conclusion

Now, we can keep throwing feats and equations around, but in the end, numbers cannot measure what Goku and Superman are capable of. Ultimately, Goku vs Superman comes down to a difference of limits and purpose. What happens when you put an illegal immigrant raised in Kansas that wears spandex against another illegal immigrant who beats up other immigrants? Well, only one is beating up other immigrants in the first place. But that's exactly what makes him such a memorable character. Think about it. If you had a Superman that was as powerful as Goku, would you even want him? The Winner is Son Goku. Amen.

Inspired by a question in the Daily Questions thread, I thought I'd make a post documenting the tools I personally use for creating glamours. I am also interested in what tools or methods I might be missing out on.

Final Fantasy XIV

First and foremost, FFXIV already has several tools at your disposal to create glams. I'm not going to go over the glamour dresser or glamour plates, I simply want to go over the tools I use to create a glam that ends up on a plate.

1. Fitting Room - Most people should already know about this one but if for some reason someone doesn't, the fitting room window can be accessed by right clicking a piece of gear or item link and selecting "Try On". There are a couple of additional options at the bottom of the window compared to the Character window:
   1. Display Gear - Useful when adding to/modifying a glam already in use
   2. Save Delete Outfit - Use this to try on multiple pieces of gear, unselect it to clear the window except for the most recent piece.
2. Dye Preview - Within the Fitting room, there is also an option for dye previews. Simply right click a piece of gear in the fitting room and select "Enable Dye Prevew". This will open up a new window that allows you to select any dye and apply it to the piece in the fitting room preview. While incredibly useful, it does not have 100% accurate lighting and sometimes you will need to just spend a dye to figure out how it will look in-game.
3. /itemsearch - The /itemsearch, or /isearch, command was primarily intended to help players locate where a particular piece of gear is located in their inventory but it also creates an item link to the piece searched in the chat log regardless of whether or not you actually have the piece. You can right click the item link and try on the piece so its incredibly useful for pieces you do not yet have. Edit: as u/TheFrozenDragon has pointed out, unfortunately, you cannot get links to pieces you do not yet have. As long as you know the full or partial name of a piece of gear, you can try it on. This is particularly useful for dungeon and alliance raid gear which does not have vendors to link from. It also works for gear from the online store.
4. Market Board, Vendors, and Dreamfitting - If you don't know the name of the piece you're looking for or you're just looking to browse pieces in-game, the vast majority of gear in FFXIV can be found and linked from the Market Board or Vendors. Dreamfitting at the inn room bed will also allow you to try on and link gear from the online store. Notable vendors to consider:
   1. Raid and Tome Vendors - all the gear from each raid tier can be found at vendors in the secondary sanctuary for the expansion: Mor Dhona (for tome gear), Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, Eulmore, and Radz-at-Han (Note: Coils gear has replicas that can be found on the MB).
   2. Hunt Vendors - Hunt vendors also have gear that can't be found anywhere else. With the exception of ARR and HW (grand companies and foundation only), there is a hunt vendor in every expansion city and secondary sanctuary, usually near the hunt board.
   3. Wolves' Den Vendors - There's also a lot of exclusive gear available in PVP, most of which can be exchanged for wolf marks.
   4. Eureka and Bozja Vendors - While significantly more time consuming to obtain than other options, there is exclusive gear that can be tried on in Anemos, Pyros, Hydatos, Bozjan Southern Front, Gangos, and Zadnor.
5. Link and /echo - If you're like me and travel to all these vendors trying on different pieces, its useful to save a link in chat so that you don't have to constantly travel back and forth between vendors to re-try on each piece. To do this, right click the piece you'd like to save, select Link. Before hitting enter in chat, add /echo or /e to the beginning of the line and it will save a link only you can see. You can also use Link to share pieces with other people in chat. And this goes both ways. If you don't have or know the name of a specific piece but would like a link to it, you can also try asking for someone to link a piece.

Eorzea Collection

Eorzea Collection by far is the most popular website to share glams and seek inspiration. They have also recently restarted cataloguing gearsets similar to Armory Collection and is useful in that aspect as well.
Using Eorzea collection is rather straightforward but the Glamour (and Gearset) search notably provide:

1. Search by Job - limit glams that work with the job you're trying to glam
2. Search by Level - useful if you're not max level or are glaming Eureka/Bozja gear.
3. Search "Using" (Glam search only) - if you have a piece you want to use in mind, you can use this option to see how other people have used that piece and what pieces that they have matched with it.
4. Order By "Loves" (Glam search only) - Now this is subjective and there isn't an objectively good solution to this because EC is, to some degree, a way to share gposes in addition to glams but ordering by loves tends to prioritize more useful posts first in my experience.
5. Content Type (Gearset search only) - search for pieces from specific content such as raids or dungeons. In my opinion, this is where EC loses out to Armory Collection in terms of functionality.

One small warning I will give about EC: there is no standardization to showing off glams on EC and posters often use shaders and/or other visual mods. What looks good on EC may not look the same in-game.
I've read some comments that some people don't want to use EC when creating their glam because they want to be original and not simply copy a glam. To this I will say 2 things:

1. It is not unoriginal to seek inspiration from other people's work. Artists don't just look at their own work.
2. You do not have to copy a glam 1 to 1: you can see what pieces work, see what pieces you think would be an improvement using other posts or tools and make the glam your own.

I'm not trying to force Eorzea Collection on people, I've made several glams without it. But I don't want people to disregard it entirely for this reason either.

FFXIV Armory Collection

This a Japanese website but there is an English option in the top right corner. It is very similar to EC's gearset search but has a few more options and is more complete and consistent. This is useful to look at gearsets and individual pieces without bias from how others have used it on EC. It's also a quick way to look up how a specific piece of gear looks.

Garland Tools

I am mentioning this one not just because it's a great resource for crafting glams but primarily because of the Shared Models function. A lot of models for gear in this game are reused. If you've found a piece that's perfect for your glam but is the wrong job, there is a chance that it exists for the job you want as a different piece of gear. This is especially true for casting/healing gear and fending/melee gear. It's also useful if you're looking for a dyeable version of gear or a craftable version of dungeon/raid gear or even just a different trim color. Search for the piece in Garland tools, select the Shared Models tab (only exists if there is a shared model) and it will display gear with the same base model.

Other Tools

I don't personally use these extensively but here are some more tools I found:

• The Lodestone - Official guide with every piece in the game, people will often post images of each piece of gear. Usually the top result if you google a piece of gear.
• FFXIV Web Model Viewer - Try on different glam pieces and dye without running the game.
• Miraprisn- JP's version of Eorzea Collection. Used to share glams.
• Chiyo Asakura's FFXIV Attire - JP gposer who's provided a lot of images for gearsets on the lodestone. High quality and consistent images.

Methods and Miscellaneous

The primary intent of my post was to list the tools available for anyone to create a glam of their own but I thought I'd also write up the method I generally use when making a glam.
When first creating a glam, I will usually have a job in mind I want to glam. I usually search through Eorzea Collection and/or Armory Collection for that job but sometimes I just visit each vendor and link potential pieces I like in chat. I try to select 1 or 2 pieces I want to glam around, usually a top and weapon. If I feel the need for inspiration, I'll search EC to see how other people have used that piece but usually, I am now familiar enough with all pieces in game that I go directly to Armory Collection or /isearch it in game. I'll link a bunch of potential pieces in chat and try on a variety of different pieces until I think I've found something that'll work, using dye previews along the way. If it works, I'll make a glam plate and verify that the dyes work well with in-game lighting.
Some final random thoughts I had:

1. As far as dying goes, it's usually better to dye the piece, not the glam plate, especially if using an expensive dye like pure white/jet black. I do this because I don't have enough glam plates for all my glams and often rotate what glams I am using. If I want to use a piece in 2 different glams, I dye it with the more expensive dye and dye the plate for the other glam.
2. Collecting pieces strains your inventory but will give you a lot of familiarity with pieces in the game. I now have 6 retainers almost entirely full of glam pieces. Collect at your own risk/budget.
3. If you're having inventory issues, try to keep end-game dungeon, savage raid, and alliance raid gear as it is a very time intensive process to re-obtain.
4. Tops are sometimes made of 2 varieties, sleeves up and sleeves down versions and will often look very different. You can force sleeve up versions with certain hand pieces such as Ravel Keeper's Handgloves of Casting/Healing or Eastern Lady Errant's Gloves.
5. A lot of pieces in this game modify your characters model most notably the Nier alliance raid gear. If your character is female, some tops force a bust size like the Dirndl's Bodice.

And that's it! I hope this was useful for anyone who glams but I don't consider this a complete guide. If you have any tools or tips, please let me know.

I was hoping to update the MSQ Tracker with the new questline for Endwalker but I see that these quests are not yet available on the Eorzea Database.
Does anyone know, based on their experience with previous expansions, when SE would be adding these to the Eorzea DB?

Hey warriors.
In dire need here for some help with hats for reaper. I'm doing glam for my lala reaps, however hat offerings aren't great. I'm going for an Abraham Lincoln is a vampire slayer style, almost bloodborne I suppose. Currently in scholasticate coat, No2 type B boots, and some wee gloves, and death scythe from collectors EW, and the survival hat. All black with red accents.
I have found the dream hat but only available on ninja, the tigerskin tricorne of scouting. This is pretty much what I'm looking for. Huge brimmed shmexy hat. https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/14bd6bbdf7c Would consider other options like top hats or something similar.
Hats I've tried that don't look right: -Currently in survival hat -Straw capline and straw hat but material looks obvious -Maelstrom hats -Snakeskin Bush hat -Other tricornes on mb but too small
Please throw me some ideas. I have of course looked at eorzea collection but nothing I'm looking for eek. I'm unsure what dungeon drops would look awesome.
Thank you so much ❤️

Having looked at the MB for the new level 81-90 gear added in EW, it seems that the only new models there are for the level 90 Magitek weapons. All the rest are just repainted versions of existing gear like Fae arms, Skallic and neo-Ishgardian armor. And according to the Eorzea Database gear awarded from the main dungeons added in EW are also all reskins, like one entry using Shadowless models. This all feels very blatant and even lazy.
Also, and I don't know if this is for some other reason, but there's only one set of level 90 gear visible on the MB. No greens or blues.

Last updated: 27 October 2021

Hi everyone! It's been a good 3 years since the previous version (EDIT: It has since been pointed out to me that this post has been converted to a fairly updated Wiki Page. I plan to help update that in the future instead of making more of these. Meanwhile, I have refocused this list into just ideal endgame options, while noting some niche options for interesting strategies. Comment below what you think!).
Autobattle can now be set to use abilities, negating the need for RMs that change the basic Attack (although you could still use those RMs for a variety of reasons). Stat Buffs have gotten more ubiquitous on our chains, bards, and our top tier supports, ensuring that we're almost never below softcap anymore. Growth eggs are now at a surplus for everyone except the newest of players. We have a better much more understanding of DeNa's inconsistent naming and code. Community legends like Enlir & MysteriousMisterP have come and gone.
I thought about updating this list by KatipunanCowboy thanks to chats with some friends about how our preconceived notions of RMs were actually false and we've been equipping our parties ineffectively. I'm revising this to be more in-line with Enlir's now Community-run Database. Terminology will now follow what I believe are widely-accepted conventions and abbreviations. Practical usability and endgame use is prioritized (thus RMs like Rinoa's Sorceress Vow, which is technically the best unconditional BLK damage boost RM have been omitted because most mages can simply use the stronger weapon-related BLK RMs for a more multiplicative boost). I'm also cleaning up the Special Thanks section because some links are dead now or may not be relevant.
Did I miss any RM worth mentioning? Or deleted some actually useful ones? Do you think Dualcast RMs still deserve to be here? Have any suggestions on what links should be included below? I welcome any feedback on how we can make this list more useful!

Unlike everything else in this list, which affect ability schools, Kain RM99 affects Jump attacks, which is a special modifier for most Dragoon abilities and SBs. This exact bonus is also not present in dragoon dives, which means it will be a purely multiplicative boost and often the best option for any dragoon (notable exception is Luneth).

Setting up quick initial turns

Character	Realm	RM#	RM Name	Description
Zack	VII	RM99	Worthy Hero	ATK and DEF +10%, grants Haste at the beginning of the battle
Marcus	IX	RM99	Noble Thief	ATK and DEF +10%, grants Haste at the beginning of the battle
Noel	XIII	RM99	Life's Protector	ATK and RES +10%, grants Haste at the beginning of the battle
Montblanc	T	RM65b	Born Leader	MAG +10%, grants Haste at the beginning of the battle
Kelger	V	RM65	Lupine Swiftness	50% chance to begin the round with full ATB gauge
Zell	VIII	RM50b	Raw Power	50% chance to begin the round with full ATB gauge

In some Autobattle setups, you can stick one or two of these onto a character to force certain characters to use the RW and Magicite/Historia, and more importantly, have important SBs such as Support AASBs or Healer G+ be used immediately. I think the first four are the best choices for "Start with Haste" RMs due to the persistent MAG, DEF, and RES buffs. The last two are reportedly still handy for speeding up farming setups.
 

Niche RMs

Character	Realm	RM#	RM Name	Description	Use Case
Orlandeau	T	RM99	Gathering Storm	Grants Thunder God's Might (Cast speed x3 for 25 seconds) at the beginning of the battle	May be more useful than other nondamage options in sub30 runs
Kimahri	X	RM99	Unyielding Resolve	Attack turns into Jump	Used to evade problematic attacks on a given slot (e.g. 6* Magicite Leviathan Doom, X DB Petrify)
Amarant	IX	RM99	Flaming Stand	Grants Last Stand at the beginning of the battle	Used to tank an early heavy ST hit (e.g. III DB)
Cor	XV	RM99	Venerable Leader	Grants Last Stand at the beginning of the battle	^
Noctis	XV	RM50	Sleeping Prince	ATK and DEF +10%, causes Sleep at the beginning of the battle	Used in Auto-Lab setups to prevent an emergency healer (usually Tyro) from acting unless needed
Berserker	Core	RM65b	Berserker	ATK+10% causes Berserk at the beginning of the battle	If you need to prevent someone from acting during Dreams Farming for some reason, this is a good 2nd option.

I'm trying to be a little sailor boy in this free trial, but finding it difficult without marketplace or being able to trade with players. Currently level 30.
I really want this item: Eorzea Database: Sailor Shirt FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone
What's the best way for me to achieve this goal? Is there a super cheap way to upgrade my account? Or do I gotta start weaving?

Characters learning one of the five main nature transformations is as common as dirt in fanfic, but I've never seen anyone deal with learning it for yin and/or yang. We know it's typically used for hiden ninjutsu, genjutsu, and medical ninjutsu are based on it, and that some characters have learned those natures e.g. Tsunade has yang nature, Sakura has yin and yang, Shikamaru has yin, and so on.
Not that I blame writers for not going there because instead of it being explained with the other elements (thanks, captains), we were just drip fed bits of information years later. Even the chapter that explains them is frustratingly vague and the db page isn't much better.
So how do you transform your chakra into something "founded upon mental/physical energies"?
My interpretation actually comes from Tayuya's Revolt of the Demon World. Shikamaru recognises Tayuya's techniques as using special chakra like his own, and that her technique being chakra that is mostly spiritual energy but unstable because of it. And per Fukasaku, regular ninjutsu chakra comes from mixing/balancing mental and physical energy.
So I think ying/yang chakra exists somewhere in between. Yin chakra has more mental energy than physical energy and yang chakra has more physical energy than mental energy, but not enough that it becomes unstable. Like a 75:25 split instead of the 50:50 used for ordinary ninjutsu (with Tayuya's technique something like 90:10).
Too little and it's ordinary chakra, too much and it's unstable. Learning their nature transformations would mean learning to create chakra with just the right amount of each energy to create yin/yang chakra. You'd master the nature by being able to consistently use the correct ratio to create chakra type in whatever quantity you need.
Those are my thoughts on it anyway.
How would you handle Yin Release and Yang Release yourself?
Bonus Question: Which ninjutsu do you think might fall under one of those chakra natures?

Dislaimer: These are going in technically no specific order just what I think is important please don't @me because a specific site is not near the top of the list. A lot of these sites have crossover too because they want to be the main place you go for FF14 info. I will be specifically excluding sites like FFlogs or xivanalysis and tools like ACT or GShade because they are against TOS.
This is going to be a long one and not a comprehensive list. If you feel like I am missing any important sites please list them in the comments so that other players can know about them. and if you don't want to read it all Zepla HQ had an informative vid with some of the sites mentioned that I am linking right here.

Ok the one that most people forget exists is the Lodestone made by Square itself, explore what it has to offer. I am specifically linking hud text commands for when you inevitably want to toggle ui elements on and off, '/hud ahelp toggle' is part of a macro I use all the time.

This site has probably been mentioned the most, and for good reason, it is one of the most comprehensive databases available.
