Game servers are down for maintenance, official open for 7.0 early access is 3am 2am PST 2024Jun28, however previous expansions have gone live upwards of 3 hours prior. The patch server is separate and already up, as you've noted. EDIT: Corrected for official release

Bard is fairly simple but requires managing the 3 songs and 2 dots, which can be punishing after you die. For learning fights I feel dancer is a bit better in survival and bouncing back from a death. You're still fully ranged and can run a fight without ever stopping movement if you want, and...

The chain-action stuff will be for nonfiller follow-ons, ie Pitch Perfect, Ikishoten, Scorch, etc. They've implied further abilities will likely be 'stacked' in this manner in future expansions to provide increased complexity while reducing hotbar real estate requirements. Devs have tentatively...

Reaper and Samurai are mostly getting a few refinements and polishing. Reaper is getting a buff to gibbet and gallows off gluttony, a new single-use ogcd during enshroud, and a communio follow-on from Plentiful Havest. Samurai is getting tsubame tied directly to meikyo shisui, tsubame can no...

For Asura's memory mechanic, the key is that she has three zones she can attack in a half-room swing: front half, right half, and left half. She will rotate through these in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction twice (for a total of six; two identical sets of three), with the trick being...

Also, the final Alliance raid for EW drops 650 left-side gear ("Theogonic") with no lockout now and still has decent queues on Primal. For MSQ, the only thing I would Marketboard is a 640 Diadochos weapon due to the prominence of weapon damage as a stat. If you want to get really froggy, you can...

Dammit that's actually mildly clever...

Mostly the time the benefit of being able to multiplex out ventures and the benefit of having a 1750 slot bank. Having 200 market slots allows me to sit on my more valuable items instead of having to cycle stock as often. Also helps quite a bit for mannequin sales, as you can pull stock for...

Unfortunately not. First 2 are free, then up to 7 more are available at $3/month on the mogstation, plus the premium app includes a bonus retainer slot at $5/month.

I've been culling off a bunch of older raw gatherable mats that I've been ratholing, mostly to make space for more glams and holding space for intermediates and more expensive materials. Cooking ingredients, alchemy reagents, and fish are absolute killers for inventory space. 4 full retainers...

AF Gear is usually more valued for it's glamour potential than any stat benefit at this point. Glamour and Interior Decorating really the final endgames of FFXIV. Though I wouldn't be opposed to a new 'relic armor' set, a la Eureka.

A gloriously autistic Artemis Bow 2.0, complete with electric (levin?) lute and folding compound bow arms. Also, new BRD hat. Really liking how these AF armor sets really feel like later versions of previous or original sets after a few years of our WoL and/or Tataru tinkering with them. I'm...

Yup. Just to add some detail, the auctions cycle with a 5 day bid phase followed by a 4 day results phase. Any recently vacant houses will go up for bid at the start of the next bid phase. Piassa.db does a good job of tracking vacancies across the NA servers, cant speak to other data centers.

From the JP fanfest keynote, sounds like their filling the 'caster support' hole that BRD left in StB when they finally got their mobility back. They mentioned no brez, so may be a cycling or modal buffs. Considering the other casters, should be more laidback than BLM, while not as braindead as...

To add on to Tuco's post, as I just restarted as well: Squeakthrough: Allows you to walk through gaps in most buildings, allowing denser designs and preventing 'pipe fatigue' from having to walk around pipe complexes even distribution: Allows you to ctrl-right click drag to drop balanced...
