    Meh it would solve a few issues but not that many. I've redone ARR recently and honestly it's not nearly as bad as I remembered, especially since once you advance the MSQ a bit now you get mount speed, which makes the run from Horizon actually pretty quick(fast than Limsa boat in general due to...

    I mean it's not Cataclysm happened right away either. Cata was 5-6years after WoW release. Which technically would be this expansion, but yeah. Also did flying in old zones really add much? I haven't played wow in forever but can't really think it'd be that great other than to get your ass to...

    Yeah everything with a blue mark and a + unlocks something. Mostly dungeons, sometimes new content stuff(Gold Saucer or Ventures for example), in a few cases it's kinda garbage(there's 1 in each main cities that unlock a dance). But they're the important sidequests, as opposed to the standard...

    Yeah Mor Dhona used to be the endgame hub at 50 so most quests started there. A lot are just breadcrumb quests to unlock a 50dungeon, since they were adding like 3 every patch and shit. You could grab them all and go to where they say most of them will just complete right there and unlock a...

    I mean pretty much everything can be ignored if you don't care about content. Things worth unlocking: Legacy of Alag in Mor Dhona to unlock Crystal Tower 24man, unlock the first 2 dungeons to get the alliance daily roulette for xp/poetics. Any 2 dungeons for 50/60 dungeon queue for poetics/bad...

    So I've been doing retainer ventures for wind crystals because I was kinda low and they were the most expensive. After a couple weeks of it I hit 9999 and wasted a few and remembered "oh yeah these are capped, I should just drop some on my retainer". Open my retainer, I had 7000 there too that I...

    Getting your ilvl up is going to be the most important to get in a static at this point since most people have been playing for a while so they have large amounts of i390 and 400(from running savage) stuff. Learning parties this late might be kinda shit too not too sure. The new EX primal weapon...

    I have barely any melds on my gathering shit. I have like Gathering V, GP III and Gathering II or Perception V instead of gathering, on accessories, and the tools are just Perception/Gathing V and GP IV or something like that. And left side is yellow scrip gear. Basically I used Aryala to...

    I mean it depends on your server obviously, as I said my server has a shit market so everything's expensive. Alchemics are 80-90k, Kingscraft went up to 28k last week, so yeah. Just have to convert the value in yellow scrips of each item based on your server to see what's better to buy though...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah no I'm not gonna waste deliveries on gathering when I can do crafting ones and sell gyr abanian alchemics/kingscraft demimateria with the yellow scrips and make like 500k for 2mins of crafting, while stockpiling crafting xp tickets and souls of the crafters and what not for the next...

    Yeah if you just need levels Namazu are great since they work on everything. The quests aren't even that bad for gathering as far as I could tell when I tested quick. I did a mining one to check it out and it was just mining like 3 items right next to the Namazu for it, bit longer than crafting...

    That's the HW shit iirc? The ones I needed were Silkworm to fish in The Lochs and then some Stonefly larvas and/or suspending minnows to fish somewhere else. The minnows are lure so they're ok in my book, 50red scrips but you can generally fish for hours with them before they break(and with my...

    Na EU Omega, I'll be moving once they give free transfers but still sticking to EU cause of ping, USW is too far. Fishing is fun for the most part but the scrip bait stuff is really retarded. I don't want to have to farm just to fish, the whole point of fishing is to just relax and throw the...

    So finished all my crafting catching up and shit a little while ago, even my gatherers are geared(not fully, I checked the numbers and figured I didn't need 3star HQ shit so went yellow scrips+crafted mix, much cheaper and I can get just as many NQs anyway). Today decide to go fishing, figure...

    Yeah if you don't mind the slapstick japanese humor, the questline has some great shit. It also helped them a lot with making different facial expressions from doing the over exagerated ones in this, after they did Hildibrand, the MSQ had them every now and then too(for example Raubahn roaring)...

    And if you can't meld crit or str, generally direct hit, although if you look into it very carefully there's some direct hit tresholds and then you want det, at least judging from the BiS monk melds. Also skillspeed can be useful until specific breakpoints, for PLD that'd be so you can fit all...

    If you mean poetics, you can buy i120 Ironworks gear in Mor Dhona to help with the HW leveling. It'll only be useful to buy the similar Shire gear in Idylshire in HW to get through SB, but you'll keep getting more if you do roulettes and shit. Depends on what gear you actually have right now...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    If you know a crafter you can cut the costs A LOT. Base materials are pretty cheap for the crafted gear. Largest part is the gyr abanian alchemic since they can only be bought with yellow crafter scrips, but on my server with shitty supplies it's still "only" 70k, and the total rest of the mats...

    Because they're apples and oranges, tanking 4man dungeons in DPS stance isn't going to help you tank savage in DPS stance. There's no relevant skills that translate from one to the other. For PLD and for WAR, tanking in DPS stance isn't some arcane system that you have to get used to. For PLD...

    You're not learning correctly if you just DPS stance every dungeon regardless. In dungeons, the correct way is to asses your and your party's gear, as well as how they're playing and use the appropriate stance for that. DPS stance in 4man pub dungeons always depends on other stuff than yourself...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Raids and general play are very different in terms of tank stance requirements. Yes for savage you definitely will want to optimize your DPS stance time, as in, it should be 100% unless you use tank stance as a "cooldown" for certain things, and maybe on pull for initial threat if you don't have...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    The new info about the cheaper RTX line apparently says BF will support 1080p DLSS so it should work at any resolution, just need to do whatever things you have to do with Nvidia to get it working, which I assume a lot of companies won't bother. Says the new RTX cards are being bundled with...

    It is worth it imo. What squadrons do eventually is 2 things. First they act like retainer ventures, you send them out, they bring back stuff. If you spec them properly, they will bring back GC seals(so free trips), crafter or gatherer red scrips(free money more or less) or crystal clusters...

    You should learn the moveset though since Cyclops come back in various forms over and over, so learning how they work asap is useful for later. Same with Chimeras, knowing that ram is a pbae and dragon is a donut is useful for whenever you fight random chimeras. In general, they do a pretty good...

    Isn't this new thing specifically doing it so it's not that easy by basically masking ads as normal content. That's what I assumed they'd do if they wanted unblockable ads. And for the delay thing that was mentionned, I don't think they'd do delays, they don't atm either I think? They just play...

    Well as I said, you can outgear it. Do Sigmascape 4.0 4times(which isn't super hard, just need to get the few tricks to it) and get 1000mendacity for a 360weapon, or buy a 350crafted HQ weapon, or a 380HQ crafted one if you have more money/they're cheap enough on your server or better yet if you...

    Twitch.tv

    If they do it right I don't know how you could block them. I assume the tech to do it "right" was more complicated than it sounded, but if the ads are directly into the stream you're getting, you can't block just one part of the stream, you either watch it or you don't. I guess you'll be able to...

    Yeah they can't be sold so there's no price increase. I think retainer fantasias can be sold on the market, maybe, but not even sure(you get them from ventures).

    They meant the next expansion big raid boss kinda thing. Bahamut > Alexander > Omega. Not too sure what's next going to be, might just be new stuff rather than a callback. Could be Ascian related maybe too. Same log for all of Eureka, it's easier/faster to complete it in Anemos, many grps there...

    Raids used to have trash, but they kinda stopped at least for 8man content. 24man raids still have a bit of trash here and there and are actually large places you run around in, but 8man are just series of boss rooms only, it used to be only trials like that(primals and shit like Susanoo) but...

    I did make a couple of chars when I fantasiad to figure out voices and skin tone in real lightning and stuff like that. Things to note: Check the voice sounds. Make like a PUG or ARC I think those tend to spam noises the most even with low lvl abilities. You don't want to pick a random voice...

    From what I've seen, there's people in there on my datacenter, it's just shitty to level in regardless and most people seem to be farming light. My plan is to just do the challenge log until 4.5, which is supposed to have some Pagos nerfs. I'll probably be 26 or 27 or so by then so will only...

    I do think it plays better than monk overall. Having both a skill that moves you away and a charge, and the fact your buffs are longer and easier to refresh while having less positional requirements and such. Only downside of SAM is having to stand still for Midare, which can be annoying if the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Don't wait if you haven't touched it yet. Do the challenge log in Anemos. Anemos goes really fast it's Pagos that sucks and is getting nerfed. Basically, go to Anemos, do the challenge log, maybe try shouting for someone doing it at low lvl like you but otherwise you can solo it, make sure to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Seems weird you're having issues, maybe you could try doing a few bounties to get some centurio seals and upgrade your gear to 330 if you haven't, especially the weapon. Alternatively if you have the ilvl for it, doing sigmascape V4.0 4times for the crystalloid and 1000mendacity for a 360...

    Old gear that requires a bunch of annoying mats. You could do scrips or just get your ass to 61 doing HW collectibles or something and get the white entry lvl SB gear which should be a fuckton cheaper(can buy NQ from vendors too, although if you know a crafter they can easily make HQ version for...

    Current tier of crafting gear should be the last tier unless they pull out something different than other expansions, which is unlikely. That's why melding this is kinda worth it. They'll be adding new recipes, but mostly for cosmetics shit at this point. Melding can suck a dick though, it's...

    Path of Exile

    All shocks are "guaranteed" now, but the % damage increase is based on the damage you do versus the life of the monster, so in this case it'd probably shock for 1%. If you have shock conditionals though it's still fine.
