Map dungeons came with 4.05 in SB, which coincided with crafting upgrade(which itself coincided with limited tomes and savage).

The "raids" in the technical term in this game are side stories, not related to the MSQ. You will have Trials however, which are 8man single boss encounters. You will get A LOT of these once you reach ~50. They're mixed with story dungeons and then the solo instance stuff(which they do more of...

Armory works on everything. Earrings only work on kill xp, which you get none of in potd/hoh. It's only really good in dungeons, anywhere else you get your xp from sources that aren't affected(FATEs is 99% from the FATE completion, quests 99% from the quest turn in,, HoH/potd 100% from the end...

Yeah k didn't know if they did some quest where they talk about their "ancestors" and how they wore no masks and were called Tarutarus or whatever. I should probably do some sidequests at a point but currently DPS queues are kinda fast so I rarely get to do much, so I'd rather do one or two...

It's not really every mob. It's a lot for sure, but a lot are originals. But yeah they reuse a lot of FFXI mob models, saves costs I guess and it's new enough for most people, while being a nice callback for others. Also the race names on the First aren't only FFXI names. Some are reference...

No it doesn't, it's not even close. Like yeah you can get under 80% for a few seconds depending on how you time your lucid and aetherflow early in the pull(and you kinda want to put aetherflow on cd right away), but once they cool down and you're at ~75% and pop them, you'll go back to full. So...

The Castlevania anime was pretty good. Everything else has been pretty garbage for the most part.

They did a full 2 years of Prudent Touch, and it was equally broken compared to everything before, especially with Manip II. Preparatory is honestly not really much better, it does make a lot better macros however since it's essentially 2 lines in one, so you can make neat 1 click macros instead...

Iirc A4S caused a huge drop in subs due to how hard it was, so they made sure never to repeat that mistake. The top tier team still clear shit pretty quickly but most people still take weeks to get through each tier so it's kinda whatever I think. Also the big difference compared to 2.x is...

The timings haven't changed, so that'd just be lag. I posted a few pages back a link for ShB macros if you're 71, they're much better than the old ones cause they're 1 button for full HQ. For endgame you'd probably want something different but for leveling/non starred crafts, shit's perfect...

Macros are terrible and will potentially fuck up and use another Fan Dance instead of FD3 but it should work most of the time if you don't spam too much. You could try though with /ac "Fan Dance 3" /ac "Fan Dance" for single and fan dance 2 for aoe, will try the first in line then 2nd, then the...

If you do it with the MT you kinda have to mitigate the tank buster properly while otherwise you can solo tank them with a DRK or WAR(I think). I've seen a few things but the "safest" imo is to just have people take 1 shot each, so there's no counting shenanigans. 2nd best is to have 3DPS take...

Cleared Titania after a couple more hours into shit groups until a decent one. Fight's really not complicated I don't get why ppl die so much, it's not like Suzaku where you had to check the notes and figure out the pattern while still doing other shit, it's literally all just scripted shit or...

Crashed yesterday when that happened though in one of the runs, which kinda sucks. I did 2 learning parties, one for "add phase" and one for "enrage", without having seen neither, but fight's pretty easy tbh. Obviously, not everyone seems to think so since retards were dying left and right to...

Fuck I should probably unlock the FATEs shit, I keep getting capped from doing random fates, and then spend all my stones stuff on materials, which is fine but then once I finally unlock shit I won't be able to buy the stuff without farming even more, which sounds retarded.

The fuck my shit's like 83 white scrips lol.

Yeah MCH seem in a really good spot AND they look cool as fuck, I love the redesign and how they didn't half ass it and gave them plenty of new abilities, and it now feels like a real class rather than just gunnner with robot kind of thing. The multiple tools stuff is great.

Expansion at low lvl only really gives access to the expansion races, Au Ra, Viera and Horthgar. If you don't care about these, there's not much to get from having them until 50 where Samurai and Red Mage unlock. You will be capped in Palace of the Dead to floor 40 without Heavensward, but on a...

It's a fun class imo, but there's also a billion dancers around which makes it kinda annoying. And even played well, it's still way way lower DPS than other classes, due to all the buffs they bring. I don't think the jury is out entirely on wether it's worth it or not versus BRD however, but...

You can make a char when it's a small queue, but basically during the weekend most of the prime time and a fair bit outside that had every server locked I think, even on EU(I think even Spriggan/whatever, the 2 new servers were locked). They do need to fix this shit for new accounts. Started...

No PS+ since there's a separate sub.

Yeah shouldn't be too long, other than having to wait for these dungeons which can take a while since the roulette isn't so great for these so not as many people do it. But it's about a couple of hours per patch, 4.5 is a bit longer since it's 2 parts, so probably 5hours total including queues...

I meant crafting books, I got all the gathering ones before I hit 77 from all the stupid collectables and the job quest deliveries shit, and I still have my 2000red scrips stocked in case of. But crafting books aren't in yet and there's gonna be a ton of them, it's not hard to get them just wish...

Oh yeah I also hate how I've had to spend so many yellow scrips on crafting materias instead of being able to buy the books already. Shit sucks I'd rather get books done asap. Edit: Had the greatest revelation. I haven't been using many leves at all this time around, probably because I was well...

Oh nice, haven't really looked into anything yet still lvling my shit. I expect to be done about tomorrow, only have half of weaver to go, 3lvls on mining/botanist and CRP/LTW from 73. It's hard to juggle this stuff and still level my combat classes and shit, have my SCH almost 80 too and...

It's good money too, like 200 of them is about 600k here.

They sure doubled down on the concept of reusing old mats in new materials. Fucking everything requires some shit from ARR/HW/SB. I have a fair bit of SB mats still so those are fine but I threw away all the HW shit a long time ago and it's a pain to rebuy some of it. I could in theory go farm...

Fishing is stupidly fast, assuming you're 70. With the old scrip manuals(didn't bother buying the new ones since I have a bunch of old ones to go through), food and squadron buff, you get like 250-300k per HQ fishes, any of them, which if you use Patience II is about 70% of the time(accounting...

It's shared. I had some left over after hitting 80 too, then it was gone in 15mins of fishing. The tokens come from Titania, and she drops the weapons directly too, tokens is just if you don't get your weapon after 10runs you can just buy it.

There's some quests you have to do(aether currents and the role quests), but other than that there's no need for any of the other quests, they're not really great xp either. Can spam dungeons or roulettes or FATEs or whatever you like once you need more xp for the MSQ. I think I've done like 3...

Yeah I'll echo the general sentiment, this is the best FF14 expansion, even beating Heavensward by a fair margin. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's the best FF since... probably even before X. It's maybe not as strong as a standalone since it relies on previous stuff(most of the characters...

Not sure if all the healer and tanks are on vacation or what but goddamn are these DPS queues shit for endgame. I guess too many ppl lvling alts and shit. I queued for expert on my DNC earlier, 11PM so not prime time but not horrible and I got a 46mins queue before it popped. Btw from reddit...

Yeah Ranged phys is pretty dumb in potd/hoh, since everything is instant and they usually have good low cd burst too so mobs explode quickly. Back in SB when I was lvling MCH and BRD in potd I'd sometimes get groups with multiples and it'd be the fastest ones. Add Peloton on top so you can get...

70 should make no real difference but I forgot what you get inbetween. I mostly did HoH until 70, did a few bounties and it worked fine though. If you're not a tank or healer, multiple mobs are gonna wreck your shit if you don't pop your cooldowns on every class, unless you have a chocobo...

Problem of the new FATE system is it jumps from a reasonable 6 FATEs to get to rank2 to a crazy 60 FATEs to get to rank 3. 60 is a shit ton, and it's per zone. Now if it was the good ole days of spamming fates it might not be so bad but you really have to go out of your way to level like that...

You'd be surprised at how shit some of the DPS are, especially when they're trying to avoid damage at the same time. I one shot it with the grp I had so can't really say, but I was top DPS as a Dancer, so it wasn't really that good, just I guess no one was really dragging everyone else down...

Pets stats scale off players. They weren't OP because of the pets. The pets removal is just something that goes toward their goal of simplifying a bunch of stuff for bad players. It sadly had the unintended effect of making said players bitch about missing Titan. Titan was always an unnecessary...

Been making so much money just selling some of the GC fishes I had saved up, kinda wish I had more to sell. Bought a bunch of bashful batfishes for like ~1k each a few months ago, now they're selling for 25k each at a pretty high pace but the best are all these flamefishes I fished while I was...

Not sure where you heard that but that's wrong. It still says so on both the Square Enix store and Steam's store pages too "This product is not compatible with the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Starter Edition (A Realm Reborn). If you’ve purchased FFXIV Starter/Edition A Realm...

Bottom one is Aetherflow, use energy drain to get 2, then use other skills to spend(Fester or Bane or whatever the aoe nuke is named). Using them generate ressource for the dragon thing. Once you have enough, Dreadwyrm Trance. Once you've done that enough, Bahamut summon. Once capped, you can...
