    It's shared. I had some left over after hitting 80 too, then it was gone in 15mins of fishing. The tokens come from Titania, and she drops the weapons directly too, tokens is just if you don't get your weapon after 10runs you can just buy it.

    There's some quests you have to do(aether currents and the role quests), but other than that there's no need for any of the other quests, they're not really great xp either. Can spam dungeons or roulettes or FATEs or whatever you like once you need more xp for the MSQ. I think I've done like 3...

    Yeah I'll echo the general sentiment, this is the best FF14 expansion, even beating Heavensward by a fair margin. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's the best FF since... probably even before X. It's maybe not as strong as a standalone since it relies on previous stuff(most of the characters...

    Not sure if all the healer and tanks are on vacation or what but goddamn are these DPS queues shit for endgame. I guess too many ppl lvling alts and shit. I queued for expert on my DNC earlier, 11PM so not prime time but not horrible and I got a 46mins queue before it popped. Btw from reddit...

    Yeah Ranged phys is pretty dumb in potd/hoh, since everything is instant and they usually have good low cd burst too so mobs explode quickly. Back in SB when I was lvling MCH and BRD in potd I'd sometimes get groups with multiples and it'd be the fastest ones. Add Peloton on top so you can get...

    70 should make no real difference but I forgot what you get inbetween. I mostly did HoH until 70, did a few bounties and it worked fine though. If you're not a tank or healer, multiple mobs are gonna wreck your shit if you don't pop your cooldowns on every class, unless you have a chocobo...

    Problem of the new FATE system is it jumps from a reasonable 6 FATEs to get to rank2 to a crazy 60 FATEs to get to rank 3. 60 is a shit ton, and it's per zone. Now if it was the good ole days of spamming fates it might not be so bad but you really have to go out of your way to level like that...

    You'd be surprised at how shit some of the DPS are, especially when they're trying to avoid damage at the same time. I one shot it with the grp I had so can't really say, but I was top DPS as a Dancer, so it wasn't really that good, just I guess no one was really dragging everyone else down...

    Pets stats scale off players. They weren't OP because of the pets. The pets removal is just something that goes toward their goal of simplifying a bunch of stuff for bad players. It sadly had the unintended effect of making said players bitch about missing Titan. Titan was always an unnecessary...

    Been making so much money just selling some of the GC fishes I had saved up, kinda wish I had more to sell. Bought a bunch of bashful batfishes for like ~1k each a few months ago, now they're selling for 25k each at a pretty high pace but the best are all these flamefishes I fished while I was...

    Not sure where you heard that but that's wrong. It still says so on both the Square Enix store and Steam's store pages too "This product is not compatible with the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Starter Edition (A Realm Reborn). If you’ve purchased FFXIV Starter/Edition A Realm...

    Bottom one is Aetherflow, use energy drain to get 2, then use other skills to spend(Fester or Bane or whatever the aoe nuke is named). Using them generate ressource for the dragon thing. Once you have enough, Dreadwyrm Trance. Once you've done that enough, Bahamut summon. Once capped, you can...

    Steam and not Steam are entirely different "versions" are do not work with each other. An account that uses non steam cannot ever use Steam products on it(expansions and such), and vice versa. If your original account is not steam, then you need expansions from not steam. It clearly says so on...

    Garland was updated, you can check the gear there and find who sells it, sadly not fully updated yet. Lvl 74 Atrociraptor is sold notably by "Mord Junkmonger" so I guess vendor is in Mord Souq in Ahm Araeng but might be from the higher level area in there. Otherwise Rakatikka Greatwoods probably...

    I did the first 2 dungeons with trusts, and the first one with players to compare. Both trust runs were 30mins on the dot(2nd one slightly more my food buff wore off during last boss fight near the end, first one little bit less I had 40secs left on it). This is how it's meant to be from what...

    It isn't uncommon for story mode to be as challenging and sometimes more challenging than EX, both because of retards and because of weirder gear requirements without full skillsets.

    You'll get them if you do synced content that's lower than Felcleave and shit, at least if it's like other stuff. It's like Stone I/II/III for WHM and so on, or Rage of Halone for PLD now(once 60, Rage of Halone gets upgraded to Royal Authority, instead of being its own thing). You can kinda...

    DNC gets noticeably more interesting at 72 when you get Flourish. It's only on one minute cd and lights up all your procs, so you get a good amount of fan feathers out of it(and a fan dance III proc base), so all of a sudden you can get some pretty good oGCD weaving going on especially if you...

    Nvm talked too soon. It seems Amh Araeng has 70 nodes, could see them fine at 70, but Kholusia nodes seem to be higher levels so they don't appear at 70.

    Cross server linkshells within the same datacenter yes, already existed, they now increased them to 8 like normal ilnkshells. Nothing like @Rezz suggested as far as cross datacenter stuff though, everything is limited to datacenters other than server transfers.

    It's being linked on the spoilers discord of The Balance and Reddit, people kinda linking a lot of random shit though so it's better to just wait for the reddit post that'll just sort all that shit properly.

    Bots don't bother gathering unspoiled shit that spawns once every 20mins though I don't think. As noted above this might also be only for Diadem nodes? Anyway bots don't really control the prices on these, people "failling" aetherial reduction while aiming for sands get thousands of clusters...

    At SB launch people would get 2-3hours queue in the evening every day. If you think they were doing that to make the game more popular, you'd have to be pretty stupid.

    Note, Trusts are only for ShB dungeons for now. They will work on adding them back on SOME content, maybe, eventually, but for now it's pure 70+ content, so not very relevant for you atm. There's Squadrons for ARR/HW dungeons, but they don't cover all dungeons, work differently and require...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I'm unsure about this change, it seems weird, since you can't aetherial reduce at 50, so in theory someone without the expansions won't be able to get materials for 50 crafts, which is weird. Unless maybe it meant they're moving them from Unspoiled nodes to normal nodes(the line was in the...

    The initial download went up a few hours after maintenance, but then you had to download more shit later in the day. Kinda surprising it's not up already, at least the first part.

    A good tip would be to read the tip popups since they kinda tell you that. I know people hate popups but they're pretty informative and fairly short. Things that you could probably miss would be... The combat chocobo quest in South Shroud(Camp Tranquil) that lets you use your chocobo in the...

    90% means unusable in most cases as far as I'm concerned. Can use it for manual crafting MAYBE, but honestly it's generally not worth risking fucking up 2 synth in a row and getting completely fucked out of your craft because of bad RNG. You'd need to require crazy optimization to need it too...

    Early access, they said so during one of the live letters. Won't be on sale like currently though obviously.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah bunch of new stuff. Rapid Synth III sounds like ultra garbage but might combo with another to not have 50% chance of success, and the other stuff might be useful. I wonder if Reuse is something like a reset.

    You should clear more than that tbh but eh up to you. I cleared out my shit a long time ago, I generally throw away all the past expansion stuff a few weeks after new expansion launch and I can confirm what's still needed and what's useless. Worst case scenario, I have to buy the mats again that...

    They showed off the furnishing preview in the last live letter, it looked nice and exactly what I'd want if I had a house to decorate. With demolishions though I'm never buying a house again so until they release bigger appartments, it doesn't really concern me too much. No real surprises in...

    Yeah people clear ultimates with pads, it's not a big issue. You do need to organize your shit properly obviously but past that it's more than fine, the GCD is slower on purpose for this kind of stuff, and short of targetting, it's not a big deal, and you still have healers playing with pads in...
