    It was pretty bad all day yesterday till about midnight or so for me. Finally got stable enough around 1am cst to farm me some inno ex reliably. Got my PLD to within 2 pieces of being bis.

    Looks like DNC is oversampled with a bunch of scrubs tho. I bet if you only sampled the top 20k parses of each job DNC would pull ahead quite a bit. Ppl getting parsed as BLM today have been using that rotation for years whereas those 43k DNCs doubtless has a ton of scrubs.

    LOL there's a whole fucking UNIVERSE of trade skills I haven't even bothered with. I was broke and figured I'd go into mining to make a buck and figured, "it can't be much different than mining in wow! you find a rock, you hit it with a pick, you profit!" Nope. Not only do you need a whole...

    Yeah this is the first expac i was around to play through too. I always thought the old coffers were catch-up mechanisms they patched in a few months after release or something.

    Nah just once you finish your role quest you get the loot. Actually it's weird cuz he turns into a vendor except the loot is free.

    He's south of the cups in a dome-like hut. He's basically living like spongebob. You must've gotten an intro quest to speak to him before the end of the MSQ.

    Once you finish your role quests you go to geroldt in the Tempest to get a coffer of 430 gear. Then you farm goetia tomes by running roulettes or spamming the top 3 dungeons to buy 440 gear. Finally you run Titania EX trials on the party finder to get a 450 weapon (either as drops or with 10...

    Even the voiced ones? On a fun sidenote the guy who voices Ardbert is the guy who played Gendry on Game of Thrones. Dude fucked Arya.

    "From the Heavens" triggers my PTSD whenever I zone into the FC estate. Still the most epic battle music in the game, which fits the ridiculous visuals of the fight itself. Prolly the first raid boss that rewards users on a 4K display.

    You have to DC between each long cutscene and that's a hassle on just about every server on Aether which would get you a queue as soon as you try to log in. I just go watch youtube or something.

    Also need to keep your job quests up to date since some skills are gated behind the quests. So while you can outlevel the MSQ with little harm, you might be missing some skills if you level too far ahead of your job quests. They stopped gating skills behind the role quests in ShB but that was...

    Could prolly get a 400ish earring off the mb for less than 100k by now.

    Well that's that then. I was kinda thinking I'd get MCH to 80 for the role quest but I'm not stepping into potd ever again. Does it even work in potd? Wasn't there some armory exp bonus thing that narrowed what exp buffs applied to potd?

    I could be wrong but I don't think the preorder earring affects quested exp actually. I know it affected gathering/crafting exp which was why I was thinking about starting that.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    With enough rested exp, the preferred bonus, food and the preorder earring you prolly don't need anything besides the MSQ to level to max. Even without those I remember only a couple times when the MSQ quest was red because I was underlevelled and even then a daily roulette run would catch me...

    Haven't done any crafting past getting fishing to 15 lol. I was thinking about it but then I apparently to level another dps class for the fourth role quest line. I really dig the role quests but that's prolly colored by how ridiculous the healer questline was. Tank one wasn't as good.

    Some flavor text do that here and there. The flavor text for the windup mithra pet says the mithra are regarded as the ancient ancestors of the miqote. Tons of callbacks to FF tactica and FF12 in the Ivalice raids too obviously.

    The real raids won't be out till the end of the month so you're good. The ex trials aren't really raids per se, and titty/inny ex are no different and the normal mode Eden due out on the 16th is gonna be LFR-tier. Though I kinda wish they did a better job breadcrumbing people to use the PF or...

    The story for the ARR---the base game until 50---is the weakest, most predictable high fantasy shit. It's like they went out of their way to make it as "Final-Fantasy" as they could and hammed up all the acting and music a little too much. But starting right after that, even with the patch...

    Most ppl were farming innocence first I think or were doing EX with their statics. I saw like two titania ex runs on aether PF on Weds....tons of them up by Friday though. I got my whm rdy for Eden at il444 or so. Innocence was actually way easier to farm than Titania. In the process of...

    Happy White Male Nationalism Day! (4th of July)

    I like the thread title but it's misleading. We celebrate Independence Day on July 4th specifically as a very significant moment in White Male Nationalist history distinct from the other 364 White Male Nationalism Days we celebrate throughout the year.

    Just use the PF, not the duty finder since that'll take forever. If you can find a friend that'll get you the clear that'll make getting into farm groups much easier. It's pretty grindy but it's more rewarding if you have multiple jobs near 80 I suppose. I bought my WHM weapon with tokens but...

    Rested exp lasted me till long past 80 since I had only levelled on a couple chars. Im curious if the rested exp is a common resource shared among all your jobs so ppl who switch between mains and levelling the new jobs would inadvertently be spending their rested exp.

    Faster than PLD or SAM that's for sure. I had full +2 and Physeos weapons on PLD, WHM and SAM and WHM levelled the smoothest by a loooong mile. WHM never had trouble with dps as solo tbh. Physeos weapons help obviously... didn't replace my whm weapon till 78 and even when I did the loss of...

    Don't skip the MSQ. It's not a western RPG where you have a sandbox and the main narrative is an optional path that runs through it. The Main Quest __IS__ FFXIV. If you find it bores you or too weeb for you or turns you off, just bear in mind that not only is all the content gated behind...

    If it’s a new group on Titania the healers will be healing and rezzing during the giant tree phase until the dps successfully avoid the incoming avoidable damage. If the healers are able to dps AT ALL during that phase it means the dps aren’t eating aoes and it’s almost certainly a kill with or...
