Honestly based on my anecdotical experience, I'd say there's no penalty, it's just pure RNG. I've taken 10+runs to learn dungeon stuff in full BLU groups, and 1-3runs to learn other stuff with a 70unsync. I've also learned all my primals shit unsynced obviously. And again, super RNG. Garuda was...

I don't think the switch job exploit is necessary at all. I leveled the normal way and it was just fine? I mean yeah you have to do some water canoning for a whooping 5mins at the start, which is exactly what every other class has to do too while you do the hunting log to get started and can...

Yeah hunts/eureka/new content will generally increase load but not a whole lot. Rest is kinda whatever.

On the flipside BLU is amazing for the turtle boss, since you can Tail Srew/Doom/Missile it down in like 3secs after it casts Diamondback. I'm not sure how or why they decided to make these inconsistent. I can get trials not being vulnerable but I feel all normal dungeons bosses should be...

Ah I only tried turn 1 and it didn't work so I did a grp thing. Only took like 5runs anyway so no big deal I guess. Point of the class is more like a minigame kinda thing. You have some leveling with a unique class with unique conditions like paralyze and stun/freeze, then you have some...

Note that there's a lot of skills you can learn in other places, much more easily. Here's a few I found(either myself or on reddit): Aqua Breath/Snort: Can be obtained in the Carnivale fighting those two there, much easier to farm since it's solo and can be done in a couple of minutes. Think...

Completely shit at it pretty much. The class is broken in a few ways, but it's not like so broken it can do crazy things. It's probably not that much better at soloing than say PLD, as far as I've seen atm. I mean PLD at 50 would be shit but like PLD skills at 70 with the self healing and such...

I did grind but it's really fast tbh. Was like, 8hours total, and I spent some time grabbing skills too on the way, I hit 50 with 25skills, all the overworld skills and a couple of dungeon ones. Some people hit 50 like 2hours in though, having someone kill shit for them. Tag a mob, have it...

Done with lvling. Took longer than needed because of all the cuck boys having a 70 bitch running around killing stuff for them and the exploity motherfuckers class switching. Took about 2h I think for 40-50 which was quite slow, just aoeing mobs in the mor dhona castrum and then the la noscea...

Seems the limited spawns won't be too much of an issue seeing as you get thousands of xp for normal lvl 5 trash mobs so you level at a stupid pace. It's only annoying to learn skills on specific mobs but the learning rate doesn't seem so bad. Main concern I have is a lot of the skills are locked...

Yeah one hour late, with no rhyme or reason. Whatever I'm BLU now.

Wish these idiots posted a time for the release instead of just saying today. Apparently not weekly reset, now waiting for last week's maintenance time, and worst case it's gonna be daily reset(which is possible since that's also when the event turns off and they did say they're using event tech...

There's generally a large amout of people joining in the month leading to the expansion or so, to catch up, after expansion news/promotion. Game's very lively then, at least it's been like that past expansions. Should also see a good bump in activity when MSQ part 2 releases. It's just the...

If full 380, way off, at least when near the 3k end. Although BLM is the one that you need to tinker with the most to get the best output on each fights, you have to know what's coming and how to use your cooldowns for forced movement(holding triple cast 5secs or using swiftcast and what not)...

Heals register weird in this game, there's definitely a delay to it so you want to avoid cutting it close. Pretty sure it's cause death is server side but the heal numbers are client side, so once your bar resolves it says "ok you healed that guy for x" but the server then says "ok that guy is...

The GCD is slow yeah. This is made a lot better by having a large amount of oGCDs which makes the combat always feel pretty active, generally speaking, plus positionals. Ninjas get a lot of oGCDs to weave inbetween their 2s GCD, so it shouldn't feel too bad. There's some times where you're just...

Hmm that's not really little though, For the alchemist, I haven't played 1.0 but I hear it's actually related. It was the best crafting story of SB regardless even without knowing the origins. Generally the crafters have 1-2 very good questlines per expansions so I love doing them(and in SB...

Don't know if you've done it but if you're into 1.0 story stuff, you should do the SB Alchemist questline.

Yeah, although near the end you could go back to your WAR and get some xp into 60+ so you don't run out as easily in SB(iirc had to grind a few dungeons here and there back then, nothing crazy though and as a WAR you'd get fast queues anyway). Good you managed to get through the shittier parts...

This is a domain. When you get 100? shards of whatever, you combine them into a map item that opens a map to the domain, and then you clear that big breach shit until you find the boss. If you kill too slow you'll waste it but it doesn't work like standard breaches which close automatically...

I really liked the Ultima first phase with the callbacks to many of the previous 24man encounters with the summons stuff and the transition looks cool as fuck. The little labyrinth thing was interesting too. It definitely was one of their better 24man dungeon overall, it's challenging but still...

The requirement is having The Hunt unlocked. This is done at your GC for the original ARR hunts, you need Second Lieutenant rank with your GC, then go do Let The Hunt Begin (your GC). Once it's done you should have Let the Clan Hunt Begin in Ishgard, you do that and it should unlock the first...

I feel the endgame suffered a bit this expansion due to having too strong skills. It's just very easy to make macros that 100%HQ. Sure you might need some HQ mats(that you can 100%HQ yourself, reducing the overall costs) but even with fairly cheap melds I can HQ everything, and since I'm a cheap...

You need 360 for the new dungeon(only one) so it's not that great for catchup gearing but it's a lot easier to get gear in it than in alphascape since you can need on everything for your class and not have to roll against 7other people(unless you're DPS and another DPS using the same gear...

Damn the new dungeon gear is 375, I thought it'd be 365. Makes it pretty easy to gear alts casually without having to run alphascape constantly. Can just sit on 375 and upgrade to 390 later when they uncap the 24man and stuff.

You should always use cooldowns, they're free after all and in dungeons especially, trash mobs are more dangerous than bosses generally speaking. Main issue with leveling dungeons is there's a steep increase in defense between levels, not so much between ilvls after that. For example the...

Alphascape normal now yeah, works like any other dungeons, you just need on everything you want and RNG decides if you get shit or not. It's only 380 gear mind you, same as crafted, same as Eureka Pyros, lower than unupgraded genesis and new 24man and savage loot. Savage will be uncapped later...

It's like wow, each expansion is a reset and within an expansion you can always catch up from scratch in a few weeks. The newest and last major patch of the current expansion releases tomorrow. There will be another patch with more story stuff added in 2months or so, and then nothing much until...

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...

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...
