    Yeah mostly you go to a retainer and start listing stuff then hit the button to check the prices and history of the same stuff. Anything that doesn't sell for enough I just vendor(you can vendor right from the retainer too, just right click and it's one of the options). It's pretty annoying but...

    Last time I played seriously was Incursion and after playing quite a lot, clearing most of the atlas and uber elder and hitting close to 95, I was still pretty far from being done with challenges. I bought a few to get to 24 and I was done with that but a bunch of the ones to 36 were fucking...

    Takes a long time and don't know if I want to spend that much time. I'll see what the patch notes look like I guess.

    You level by spamming dungeons and/or potd like everything else. No reason to ever do FATEs. And obviously the roulette too. Don't know if you're on a preferred server or not but even without it, it shouldn't take too long for a class to catch up to 50ish with short dungeon queues.

    Looks alright, might as well pick that if you're playing pure channeling since it's gonna beat most other nodes assuming your channel is affected by castspeed(I think most are?), and you get some free phys reduction from it too. There's a bunch more posts on reddit including Wings look pretty...

    They wouldn't strip keys from the account though, they'd just ban the whole thing. If you do a chargeback, you're getting banned, this is standard in the video game industry and wouldn't raise many issues. If you buy a mount from the mogstation and then chargeback, they don't just remove the...

    I played with Paired Greatswords on my NG+, it was alright but still not close to Bandit Knife unless I had a phantom to tank the boss from me while I did the fancy R2 R1 combo shit, then it did tons of damage. Thing with daggers is you can basically weave quicksteps between hits and both attack...

    I guess there might be some shitty niche for twisting defensive auras in certain conditions. For example a boss phase with a bunch of aoe dodging, you switch your boots and start twisting purity of x and some other defensive aura even some of the shittier ones like vitality. Then phase is done...

    Not sure because once early access starts, you have 2 weeks to enter a real code for ShB and get your account flagged, and I'd assume once that's done, you can play HW/SB fine, so it should work for early access if you're digital and already have your code ready. Physicals won't get their real...

    Finished this earlier, it's been on my backlog forever, was pretty good but overall I feel the series might need some new stuff, it felt very more of the same-ish. I did like the revisiting old places thing and some of the areas were great(Irithyll and the Ringed City stuff mostly) but many...

    I kinda literally just explained it. This isn't like wow, you don't get expansions with the base game, for now, maybe once they have 5-6expansions they'll change, like wow did back in the days(you didn't get BC or wotlk for free for a while). You do get the expansions packed in with the most...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yes it does, although wow does it the other way, they give you the base game+all expansions and you only buy the lastest, while FF you only have the base game up to 50 with the start but buying the lastest expansion gives you all expansions. Maybe it'll change later once they have more...

    They haven't done much to Convocation even though summoners have been asking for buffs forever, I guess they added the 50% cd reduction in necro, but if you're not necro, well tough luck. As someone who plays summoners almost every league, I'd say they're fine, but are fairly different than...

    Nexus isn't a numbered EO, it's like Untold kinda, some sort of super finale of the series on DS/3DS before going into the next gen stuff(hopefully, they said they will but who knows for such a niche genre). Haven't had time to play it just yet, I want a large amount of time free for that and...

    Generally people say 25 for Pagos, but you can go earlier now. You need 25 to start the relic part of the quest though, and 23/25 for the annoying aetherytes, that's why ppl recommend going there at 25, however you can go there at say 23 and still get access to most FATEs and level faster than...

    It's a pretty cool system because even if you get a shitty roll on your fractured stuff, it might be the right stats to combine with other stuff into a strong synthesis, giving it value anyway. Well assuming synthesis are controllable, but from what they've said they should be, although it might...

    Not exactly. They're adding "World Visit", which basically lets you temporary transfer to any server on your datacenter, for free. There's some limitations to what you can do once there(can't buy a house, can't use your retainers to sell stuff although you can buy stuff, can't join a FC) but...

    Pagos was nerfed a bunch. One of the bigger change to qol for leveling and such in there was making the aetherytes much lower lvls. They used to be 28 and 32 or something like that, so it was really fucking annoying trying to get anything in the north half of the map at low lvl since you...

    Yeah I mean, on one hand it means you won't be able to get it as early, but on the other hand, it probably means it'll be more common 1week+ into the expansion since a lot of people do shaper stuff but I can see a bunch of people skipping part of the new betrayal stuff. Also makes shaper better...

    Not a big rustle but decided to cut my hair today since it was getting too long and long hair is annoying, anyway start shaving(I just use an electric shaver thing), do a few passes, look up, that shit's way too short.

    Arc might still get nerfed. Interesting that they're going to be trying to rescale all spells at once. With the new supports some old shit will probably become OP again. Chaos Occultist should be pretty strong, since it's already pretty good but the new spell looks like it'll make it a lot less...

    The basic Magitek armor from FF6 is a reward for the final quest of ARR(the base game), it was basically the 2nd mount everyone got(well 3rd if people got the unicorn from the conjurer quest). There's then a golden ugly ass version as a reward for... something, forgot what and a white version...

    Well the advantage is pretty good but for a fairly short period of time until you've done the zone's MSQ part and unlock it normally, which doesn't take that long. I wouldn't say it's worth whatever the price they're asking for that bike, which iirc is expensive as fuck. For the forced...

    Eh, I wasn't really stressed since unless you play on a dead instance, getting a rez generally is a matter of 30seconds, maybe a few minutes if there's a FATE up at the same time(so ppl are busy). The only kinda stressful parts is unlocking the last quest in the area, which have you go in really...

    The losing xp part is kinda whatever, unless you're solo farming in a dead instance or something. If you die, all it means is you shout for a rez and wait for someone to come rez you so you don't take the penalty. The new systems are contained with Eureka and won't affect the next expansion...

    A few hours a day, you'll basically take a week per step or so. Anemos is shorter but Pagos is longer so should even out, so about a month total since there's 4 parts. Maybe less, maybe more, depends on how fast you're grinding and how much you're playing. It's fairly similar to doing another...

    I wouldn't say crappy gil rewards, you can make a fuckton of money spamming Eureka. Hell just doing it casually for the weapon I made like 10m(mind you I spent like 3.5m or whatever buying logograms so it wasn't all profit). If you specifically farm it for money, it's very lucrative. Also the...

    The only 3rd party stuff people use is ACT to parse and get damage meters working(also callouts and shit, there's a pseudo DBM kind of thing in there), but everything else is done via the ingame UI configuration, which is actually pretty well done, you can resize/alpha/move pretty much every UI...

    This is basically wow, maybe even easier to get back into it. They constantly add new catch-up methods and since they gear reset every expansion AND soft gear reset every major patch(moving the old top tier gear to easily farmable), even once you reach the current endgame, it only takes a couple...

    You get quests every few levels, but they're very basic. You only unlock mounts in a given area after doing the last quest in that area, which is at level cap(20 anemos, 35pagos, 50pyros, 60 hydatos). Basically mounts are only for farming more relic shit or doing your challenge log, never to...

    Some people leave their lights on, makes it look like someone's in so would-be robbers would go to another house. Also can have the light be turned on when you get close by phone. And a lot of people still walk in their house with shoes on. Like not in most of asia, but europe/US, definitely.

    All the story stuff is casual. The least casual part would be the original Coil of Bahamut raids, but since they're old you can just stomp them at 70 and while a couple have mechanics that will cause wipe, it's really just like "do the one thing at least semi competently to clear" now. The...

    Well it's always been pretty protective anyway and the new guidelines just give GMs the power to ban for saying stuff that is kinda bad but not technically racial slurs or whatever.

    It has the feature, it's just turned off past the first couple months or so of the expansion. I guess they don't mind people afking. The block is on making new chars. You can always transfer unless the server is locked specifically for that, and that's only because of the actual pop, not...

    RDM. You can't really "solo" that much though, it's super inefficient past Anemos, and maybe solo grinding light in Pagos(but only at like 27-28+ so you can kill wolves quickly). Thing is Eureka is very much like old school ARR FATE leveling or hunts if you're in a hunt linkshell. You just sit...
