Rested isn't used in HoH/PotD, it's only used on kill xp which you don't get any of in these. You'll be at full rested starting 70 if you only do HoH(minus whatever you use to get to 61 unless you do potd, I'm doing a leveling roulette personnally). It's also not used doing primals, but maybe...

Thing is it gets worse depending on the roles and who's the newbs. Like, if your tanks(or at least one of the tank on some of the fights) and healers are mentors, and they've done the fight before, then you can generally clear pretty easily most of the fights other than the ones with mechanics...

Yeah DF means you get mentor roulettes people, since that's the only roulette that gets these. So it's that and a bunch of newbs, some of which are wholly unprepared for EX content. Older EX aren't so bad though and can generally be carried, especially the early ones(like ifrit/titan) but some...

People rarely use macros for combat job stuff, because macros are shit in this game, largely because they can't be queued and also are wonky at times. Only macros most people use are on oGCDs that require special targetting(ground targetted stuff or buff you throw on people). Like for DRG you'd...

Oh fuck Diablo 4 is Hellgate 2? Fuck this dumb ass shit if it's true. Also that story pitch looks like the worst shit every written. Whole point of Diablo is you kill a bunch of demons. What you gonna kill if you fight Angels, just well, Angels? Do they have any other monsters? Or do the Angels...

I made macros for DNC so I can press 3 buttons and put all the skills on my bar and save the 20seconds so I can start leveling faster. It was entirely pointless, but I had nothing else to do. Right now the only things left for me to do is to prepare the challenge log tomorrow then run Pyros for...

Yeah I thought I remembered prelim on tuesday too until I checked it. We'll see maybe they have them ready and will release them in advance.

Job guide was during the maintenance. That said when I looked into it, prelim patch notes were also during maintenance. Soon after maintenance started, they releases prelim patch notes then several hours later(the day after in japan I think), they released final patch notes which had Known...

If you mean Bone Harvest cold, that's irrelevant. You leave bone harvest at one, 1dread, dump into Soul Harvest. The skill is really only used for the buff in pet builds, there's no need to lvl it further. One other good skill if you have more keybinds to waste is Ravenous Earth with the 2nd...

Yeah you have some damage, but 4% attackspeed versus 50%pet, and 39%crit dmg versus 92%, so they do a lot less damage. If you get Grim Internals you can probably summon both and hit a dummy for a bit and see how much they do versus some other pets. Thing about Soul Harvest is it buff every...

You'd probably get a shitton of damage from dropping Guardian to 1(since they don't do a lot of damage, they're player scaled pets so don't benefit from most of your stuff and they can't be killed so don't need hp) and dumping that into Soul Harvest, with obviously 1pt Bone Harvest(maybe 1pt...

Fishing is weirder than the other 2. You get a lot more xp just gathering normally, but collectibles are a lot shittier especially pre SB, since you can't select what to gather and there's no skill to boost the rating, it's basically just if you crit you get a collectible you can turn, if you...

Yeah the queue is pretty small atm still, but it's growing a bit. Also 22 should be near instant, cancel the queue and select your char again and you should get in. The reason it takes longer is because the automated checks are only every ~20secs, to prevent spamming the servers when there's a...

There's different categories. Some categories involve just playing the game normally/only using minor glitches(the fact you move faster if you spam jumps instead of run for example), while other involve using everything to break the game entirely. Dark Souls for example has a ton of categories...

The unofficial census recorded the highest number of active players several weeks ago and the closer we get the more it's growing. And Yoshida confirmed it's the most subs they've ever had last live letter, even beating SB launch(which as a new expansion was the highest). The game's been...

There's a post on reddit that's topical, apparently some guy farmed ~1.5k Burial Chambers and didn't get a single HH card, ended up buying it with the currency he got from farming the maps instead. So the nerf on that is probably pretty heavy, but it's too "easy" I guess to chance it/get it via...

Yeah I mean obviously they can nerf HH, but I doubt they're nerfing HH mid league that's why I said I don't see what they can do specifically for that. They should nerf HH at the end of the league for sure though this shit's been going long enough, it looks stupid even, character isn't even on...

I'm not sure what's there's to nerf though, I guess they can cap how many mobs you kill per conflict but that kinda defeats the purpose. Issue is Headhunter is retarded and has been retarded for years now. It was kinda "ok" back when it was added and people moved slow as fuck and took 20secs to...

The saying "you never forget how to ride a bike". I mean yes I guess technically, but I sure forgot how to ride a bike well. Decided to buy a bike since I never got my driving license, lived in Paris since I was 18, so public transportation everywhere, having a car in Paris is pretty shit and...

Well same thing as I said really, it's kind of a non factor if you're geared and have tank stance(early leveling might be shit in that regard, until next expansion when they're moving tank stances earlier and shit). Having the WHM precast Medica II before pulls on raid fights isn't uncommon if...

Well they're just Hildibrand parents and I guess that's a way kinda to explain why Hildibrand survives Nashu's bomb and being thrown across several continents, plant face first into the ground then stay there for months and somehow is still alive. There's no real logic to it and I don't think...

Unleash has a threat modifier of 20x and is basically 1k+ potency(not counting Grit bonus), it shits on abyssal drain entirely for threat it's not even in the same category. It's worse for damage and generally if you're in Grit you're much better off spamming Abyssal Drain(and if you're not in...

If you get aggro in dungeons from regen, the tank is shit tbh. Like you will take initial aggro, and maybe take a hit, but more than that the tank's a pooper. It's very easy to catch mobs as they run past, or at the very least once they're next to the WHM(as long as he's not sprinting around...

Battle usually has more expensive mats, but gathers less of them so tend to lag behind. BTN/MIN make good money. FSH tends to suck but can be good the first few weeks of the expansion if you spam leve fishes. You level using 1hour specific item, and 18hours when you go to bed/can't use more...

It's better to level both early on, because you only have a few collectible nodes but they generally make them so they're not all at the same time, so you can do the mining one, then do the botanist one and alternate and not waste time like that. Once you unlock a fair amount of them(66 or so)...

The music goes all over the place in XIV but is also like way higher quality than pretty much any other mmos. I'll spoiler the whole thing to not shit up the thread too much

I don't get it, the video shows the same ED contagion gameplay, only at the end? The point of the video is to show the effect of the specific skill that's affected, so it makes sense it's not entirely ED contagion gameplay, and just ED, then just contagion. But each have a scene with both...

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/8732080bc8b074749a0264258fe2e18da8fd6962 Actual times. 2AM PDT, 9AM GMT, the "usual" maintenance time. Goes down 24hours before as usual for large patches.

You mean Omega? That was 4.0 though, you said you had primal gear on so that's also what I assumed. There's a bunch of dungeons between that and the first MSQ trial in 4.3. I quit in 4.0 too, think I had a bit higher ilvl(324?) probably cause more upgraded tome gear shit, but when I resubbed in...

You want to unlock the dungeons and do them for first time bonus, it's like 140mendacity per dungeon or something, then you buy belt/accs to pump that ilvl. You also can get upgrades from them, for example Hell's Lid and Fractal drop i325 stuff, a small upgrade, then you get to i330 with...

Just getting a Rakshasa weapon is a huge shortcut, and the weapon alone should be 200-300k, which is very affordable. The rest of the gear imo you can get via tomes pretty quick so keeping the ilvl up isn't that hard. And SB patches are like 2hours each or so, while watching cutscenes. It's...

Seems they're removing the FATE challenge logs with 5.0 so no need to bother prepping these. Bit weird since they said they still have FATEs, although less random ones and more story ones like the Azim Steppes FATEs. Maybe because they have their own rewards stuff, or because they boosted xp on...

Ah yes the original 4.0 stuff might be worth some scrips you're right. Worth doing if you want to get a leg up on that I guess, I kinda don't care much about gathering personally, I level it just because and for retainer ventures, but I rarely gather my own stuff, I just buy shit even if...

Pretty sure you get garbage scrips as soon as the patch turns in too, because they add new gathering collectibles that are 70 in the new zones(like they did in SB), and those give good scrips, while the old HW stuff gives like 10red scrips per turn in only. Mind you it's still 10 if you stack a...

This shit's for DNC/GNB, where you start at shit level and need to get to HoH level asap. Also the MSQ is always missing xp, so having side shit to do while you're queuing for your daily roulette's fine. It's 2:1 for expansion poetic conversion, 4:1 is in expansion conversion(like creation to...

This is a really weird game to pick when you're not fan of these lol.

Yeah it sucks the promotion is only for one char, although supposedly you can redeem more than one code(some guy said he got the mount on all his chars from the japanese promotion cause he eats at the chicken place that ran the promotion ever week). Need them to run that shit in EU though...

It's fairly RNG and not that common, supposedly. There was someone bitching on reddit about burning 45 fossils and only getting maim 3times, so yeah.

No preorders as I mentionned, probably because last time they had preorders so people would just preorder some shit, get a code and cancel the preorder.

I forgot, could you play without Cloud? I don't remember what my party setup was back in the days, I was still pretty young so I probably had Cloud and I'm sure I had Tifa, not sure for 3rd. Over the years I just do the girls band parties everytime I can, but can't get full girls in this so I...
