    Ah ok. I am pretty close to that then. I should be in the 40s gathering by this weekend, so that's cool.

    I hit level 45 last night on my Ninja and did a couple more dungeons for the first time: The Sunken Temple of Qarn and The Stone Vigil. Both of these dungeons were great. I didn't know the strats for either of these dungeons bosses, and it was a blast figuring it out on the fly. It really...

    I finally went and unlocked the Treasure Map feature in the game last night. The only thing I don't understand is where I get the maps. Do they drop off of mobs randomly, come from quests, or what?

    There are so many feature unlocks in the game, and you find them all over the place as you level up. I didn't do many of the leves aside from just doing the first one to open up leves at each location, and then when I got in my GC (I'm associated with Ul'Dah Inner Flames I think it is called)...

    From my short experience with the game so far, I think that is the case. I can be wrong of course, but that's what I am doing with some of my lower level classes. The one thing I really love about POTD is that you can go join all the class guilds, and then play each one one time in POTD to...

    For fuck's sake. Is there nothing that they won't fuck up? I mean really. Why in the hell would Diablo go from being a game where you fight the evils of the world to being a game where you fight on the side of evil after all these years? That's just fucking stupid. I guess I can mark Diablo...

    It took way too fucking long, but people finally got wise of the fact that the typical MMOs are doing the BARE MINIMUM and charging the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM they can for it. There's more content in the last FFXIV expansion than in the last 5 expansions for EverQuest combined. And, when I say...

    One thing I forgot to mention for people playing on PS4 is that you hold down the right bumper button on the controller, and then you can choose any of the 8 available crosshotbars to switch to at anytime. So, to pull up crosshotbar 2, you would hold down the right bumper and then press the B...

    I started brand new on FFXIV on the PS4 Pro myself a month or so ago, so here's what I have found as a newbie on PS4 FFXIV. Get a USB mouse and keyboard for your PS4. Use your controller to play the game, but trust me when I say that having a mouse for mucking with your UI and keyboard for...

    I personally have never understood why MMORPGs don't just make the pet's stats some sort of reflection of the player who owns the pet. That way, there is no real issues with balancing the class due to it being a duo party rather than a single character like all other classes. That way there...

    Exodus must be a very low pop server because the largest queue I experienced was 149 on Sunday evening. Every other time I logged in all weekend was like 15 in queue at most.

    I started from scratch last month after playing EverQuest for 17+ years, and I can tell you that I wish I had switched to FFXIV many, many years ago. This game is fucking awesome. Seriously. The UI takes a lot of tweaking to get it right, but the game is just a shit ton better than anything...

    I understood why people cheated in EverQuest because if you didn't, you was playing the game at a MAJOR disadvantage, and the cheaters could literally block you out of content by not either resorting to cheating as well or paying the Krono/Plat ransom they were demanding. EverQuest was a shitty...

    What is the trust system they are talking about? Does that make it so I can run dungeons by myself with a group of NPCs rather then sitting around in the DF to run them?

    I do a boat load of harvesting as harvesting/crafting are two of my favorite roles in FFXIV. Because of that, I have TONS of materials stored on my retainers. Is there an easy way to see what items are selling for on the MB when adding things up for sale? If it's easy, I will put a crap load...

    Exodus has been full every time I have logged in the past week, and most times I logged in the week before that. The wait is very minimal though, so it doesn't bother me. It's nice to see so much activity.

    I'm having a lot of fun just working on harvesting and crafting right now. I realized I missed two of the crafting classes; weaver and alchemist. I will probably pick them up tonight. I got all my other harvesting/crafting up to at least level 15 with some up to 25ish. My Monk is sitting at...

    Well the recent monthly newsletter sums it up. In FIVE YEARS, they have managed to make 2 zones and 1 raid. The new zone is still not "ready to show the public" as they say, and nobody has seen this so called raid. The best part, they added even more ways for you to pledge... ahem... give...

    I would assume that the vast majority of people would only ever have one character in FFXIV since they can play all classes/jobs on one character. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I assumed.

    Someone help me out here. Is Smedley doing New World or one of the other unannounced projects? I seem to remember reading somewhere in the past that New World was not the project Smedley was on, but I could be wrong.

    I would definitely have bought a 60 day time card, but there were none available when I clicked on the link. I found others selling them, but the offer says the item you buy has to be shipped and sold by Amazon.com. So, beware if you are buying a game card from a secondary seller on Amazon...

    I've actually kickstarted numerous projects in the past, and I go in to each and every one of them full well knowing it is a gamble. The success rate has been decently high honestly, and one of my favorite board games was actually one of the kickstarters I backed. Out of all of the...

    On Tuesday, January 14, 2014 I pledged $250 on Kickstarter for this project that was supposed to be delivered by the year 2017. I was guaranteed a crap ton of rewards including "very early access to the game as a tester." Note the "very early" part that I quoted from the pledge rewards. When...

    Do those hotbars cycle in to be used by the gamepad when clicking R1, or do you have to use keyboard/mouse to activate the abilities on those other hotbars? I play on PS4 with a controller.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I play on the PS4, and when I click R1, it cycles between two different hotbar sets that are mapped to my gamepad. As far as I know, there are only two sets. One of the sets changes based on what class you are currently playing, and the other is the same no matter what class you are currently.
