A few things that are (probably) too late for you to learn about currently leveling crafting. One: Always do the daily Grand Company deal, and always do it HQ for whatever tradeskill you are leveling. It will provide a ridiculous amount of xp when HQ'd, and makes it very easy to bypass...

I just stood in snow to watch her footprints, rolled around her and attacked a few times before running to another patch of snow. Archers I had to spend some time on, as even blocking their shit just knocked you off the ledge pretty often. Then I just went all samhain charge of death on them...

Yeah, quick sears in a hot pan seems like it would get comparable results in like... a couple minutes.

When I logged on earlier this morning, my roulette dungeons were all Class in Need: DPS. But if I want to queue for any of the dungeons or trials in the xpac, my pop is almost instantaneous. A -lot- of people are leveling astros and dark knights right now. This means that they aren't queuing...

Sure, Elrezz Darkraven can. I'm sure Rexie Soulstar and Jaen Mandar can as well. Look at me volunteering folks.

Half the zones have a scottish bent to them, which immediately brings up "How to Train Your Dragon" because that is exactly what it evinces. But the last area... Uh.... Mass Effect, much?

Yeah, at the table will be a storybook, you can review every cutscene in the game.

Pretty much yeah. Those are just the official sanitation guidelines for it. I've personally never had an issue with tossing shit basically immediately into the fridge/freezer, but mine isn't packed to the brim like some people either.

One thing I didn't do was actively participate in most fates. They take forever and were rewarding like 14k xp gold completion in the first areas. Definitely seem more geared for armory bonus than for first run through, except as an inefficient change of pace. Might be worthwhile with a...

Arcaus: the xp tapers off pretty hardcore compared to needed xp as you get closer to 60. Even fully rested the entire time and completing every single sidequest in every new zone, about a million xp shy of 59 (I ran a few dungeons and got it later, though) with quests giving about 40k xp each...

Well. You are supposed to drop any hot item down to room temp over two hours, and then drop it to refrigeration levels (40ish degrees F) over the next four. That is technically ServSafe methodology. So using an ice bath accelerates the process and helps you to reach those numbers a lot...

So yeah, even with full rest xp, if you aren't grinding dungeons you will run out of quests before 2/3 into 58. You will definitely need to either run the dailies each chance you get (of course~) or run the new xpac dungeons more than once each (probably closer to 2-3x each at a minimum) in...

Yeah, I imagine a lot of the first group to max would be tanks/healers, since they generally get faster queues for all the new trials/dungeons etc

And finish the main story quest line up through them sending you to ishgard, yes.

Just do what others are doing and go to an inn and view a cutscene. Game doesn't boot you mid cutscene. Admittedly, I haven't had issues logging in except right after release at 2am on Friday. If I see 2002, I just reselect the data center and it appears to fix it every time.

Need a crafter at level 50 of the type of weapon you have (carp/gsm/bsm) and they attach it for you.

Woops, it's been a year since I did that bit so apparently forgot~ The poetics are just for level 50 gear and crafting mats and crap now I guess, as I'm not even getting any unless I do roulette.

Uh, you only need to do it with one class. That's it. Also, the main story doesn't have you do level 30 dungeons unless you are level 30ish.

Well, FFX and XII were the best selling post VII games, so hopefully if they have to modify it that much, they'll look at 12 (I would rather they did X personally). Odd that Legend of Legaia actually solved the jumping in problem back in 98, as it is still turn based but your characters move...

Considering you can't access any of the new content until you hit 50 and finish the main storyline, that might have been a tad pre-mature.

The intro quests give you ilvl 115 gear, so uh, yeah. It'll cover you into starting the expac and that's about it.

Poopsockers have no metrics, but I would hazard that the most prolific players will be hitting max level shortly after Saturday breaks. Considering EQ1 players kill raid mobs within 48 hours of the server going live, I guess the metrics might be a bit... skewed, these days.

Yeah definitely saturday for the first 60s. Xp is waaaaay slower in ishgard.

Queued in at 230, hasn't changed numerically in 15 minutes. Hurray.

Well, I guess that is... a thing? Or something. Anyway. Still thinking they are going to "modernize" the combat gameplay, though I honestly think it only needs it during the first half of the game. The latter half you are basically just waiting for the turn to come up, as there is a lot of...

That Dark Souls number also doesn't incorporate the vast majority of people who had it when GFWL was a thing, as that is when I beat it on PC. My "achievements" from that phase did not translate to Steam after it was migrated over to the workshop.

Before servers went down I apparently caught some guy who had no idea what he was selling was worth or maybe just wanted to evacuate inventory. 3 pieces of Forager HQ gear for sub 100k each, same seller. Dropped part of my gigantic materia collection into it and now I'm no longer worried about...

Plate means the little picture on the top right of the levequest card in your log. You do the lower level leves because a) you would have gotten xp whereas doing them as a 50 you do not, and b) so you still have the "plates" for the highest level ones available to complete the challenges. One...

I played through the reissue on the PSOne after I had beaten the snot out of FF7/8(sadly)/9, and the lack of mechanics was kind of a turnoff. Otherwise it was a decent little rpg for sure. If they did a modern version, they would have to do something drastic with the gameplay stuff I would...

It wasn't shitty, but yeah you needed to look for the trees to push back the mist. Each one you found raised the level of your parasitic arm monster and progressed the storyline.

Duel Saga was decent, and it had a similar hunt mechanic to FF12. But the characters were super bland, and there was a tri-combo move that basically 3 shotted the final boss. The first Legaia had a shitload more going for it, with all the secrets/battle arena/overleveled Ra-Seru. Getting...

I was going to sandbag the shit out of that stuff prior to the patch, but after some thought it won't really matter that much. I don't have a static or anything, so I'll be DFing like a champ anyway in the xpac, and once I hit 60 I'm just flipping over to my Dark Knight anyway, so the boost...

Normally I'd totally agree and I'm pretty sick of these "Coming in 2017!" type reveals and shit. Except, for this specific game, the hype has been constant for over a decade. I imagine it is only going to escalate over time. And they are going to recoup their investment in remaking the game...

That was FFVI when Terra goes berserk and flies to the Tower of Zott after having her esper powers awoken by Tritoch in Narshe.

Nah, there's a few bot routines on rebornbuddy that do dungeons. I did some research because I wasn't aware of how shitty powerful bots are these days. After watching the actions in person, and then looking at the routines, it is definitely a thing. I only have an issue with botters when...

A general pork anything rub is taragon/sage/garlic powder/pepper/salt. You may want to put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in there, but it isn't necessary at all. Bonus points if you can find powdered taragaon/sage to make it all granular style. 1/1/2/1/1 would be my ratios lines. I'm...

Credit for the fate (which I don't remember seeing if they upped those. I think they did, though?) but not credit for the kills. The armory bonus only applies to kills. And unless your group does a pretty decent chunk of damage, your xp from that fate is going to be group dps dependent...

There's honestly no reason to argue who was the main character in most of the FFs, as they tend to switch depending on narrative. Terra was the "main" character for 6, in that she was the initial viewpoint. But when it all boils down to it, the main characters are probably Locke and Celes...

It also means that if you aren't in a dominant fate group, you are going to get dick for xp from stuff. Sub 50 fates are going to be as competitive as they were at release, at a minimum. Glad I'm planning on DK vs. Machinist, as the queue times are going to be a lot more manageable.

=| Apparently, the Sith and Jedi are totally ok with just still killing each other when they are both getting their shit kicked in by the infinite empire. Kind of dumb!
