    The thing about Titan shit is you definitely don't have the time to always move out of the wrath of the land if you move reactively to them, like they sometimes pop late(that's apparent when I start running out of mine and another pops where I'm going that wasn't there when I started moving)...

    Not sure if you're still at work, but just comments on the forums translated, prices for dark matter is going down especially high level ones, and prices for repairs in general going down, then for 2.1 they add an itemlevel requirement to high level content on the DF and a LFG window to find...

    GC hunting log is good but can only be done once, and doesn't really give much xp. I would probably do half the GC log(since the 2nd half is like 30ish so at 20 that's rough) and then just farm fates for a level or so. Great thing about FATEs is they give good seals and good xp.

    Read on reddit that Yoshida said a while back he didn't want too many sources of gold before they add housing in 2.1, so people don't amass stupid amounts, but that they will add ways to generate money once said housing is in. Don't know if there's a source but that seems like a decent enough...

    You could try coop vs AI or whatever it's called where it's 5players vs the AI, or was that what you meant? These are heavily farmed by bots though(not the AI ones, the ones that do nothing to get items). But yeah bot AI is kinda fucking shit. Hopefully once they add map creation and shit people...

    It's viable if you level a bunch of trades to 15 for the cross class skills, so you can HQ your gear. Also armor is only worth it if you're using plate so you can craft with armorer which uses ingots, as weaver and leather require a fuckton of farming for drops, or having a bunch of leves and...

    Ah also forgot to mention you can cut down heavily on shards/materials costs by doing crafting leves. If you craft HQ stuff to turn in, and assuming you can HQ reliably(do 1 tier lower leves if you can't), you basically get a level every 3leves, which generally require only 1 item done. There's...

    Depends on your server prices and how many gatherers there are I guess. It takes about 100-150 potions/basic materials combines to get 5 levels from 20 to about 30, then 150-200 from 30 to 40, then 200-250ish from 40 to 50, based on what I did. 1-20 is done with vendor mats. You can look up what...

    A stupid amount like 10 or something. All HM primals give that for whatever reason. If you want stones, run amdapor or wanderer or even the story instances(but those are a mixed bag, sometimes people watching cutscenes, sometimes people raging at people watching cutscenes and such, I wouldn't...

    Only the weapons, which I think have the same stats. Even then you don't keep it super long, Ifrit is easy to farm even in pubs. So pick whatever.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That's one thing that rustles my jimmies. Trailers that show you the entire story. Maybe there's a twist but come the fuck on, either show bunch of random scenes without any voice over that gives away the story, or show the first half of the story, not the entire fucking thing.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    First boss simply requires you to move the pet on the thing to dispel doom like you would normally. Mostly an issue because you don't have Garuda yet and Ifrit is melee so you lose a bunch of time in the process. Still I did that with my healing fairy when I healed it as SCH and it's not really...

    I still haven't seen any actual facts that summoners get outdamaged by anybody. I assume they're behind bards but since no parsers can actually parse summoner damage correctly, and no one seems to have bothered modelling summoner theorical DPS, there is no data for this, or maybe there is but...

    Titan heart is like a 1min "burst", you have time to get your dots up multiple times so it's really not a burst mechanic. Garuda adds are a lot closer to a burst requirement that makes summoners meh, but even then it's still 20+ seconds. Not saying summoners don't need some buffs, Bane aoe...

    That was an interesting read thank you, I haven't watched much lol at all since I stopped playing and wasn't aware people were doing that.

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    It's not just a zoning mechanic, it's a lane control mechanic, which might be handled another way sure, but isn't done currently in any game. LoL simply removed the entire concept. You only have 2 options, not push and the lane will do whatever it wants depending on creeps AI at the time of the...

    I think they'll change it later, they probably weighted making a new limit break for a single class, or just giving them one, and healer one is the one that "fits" the best. Once they add musketeer I'm sure they'll add a ranged DPS limit break. It's not too much of an issue, as long as you don't...

    The whole jungle/creeps stuff is mechanically a lot more advanced. Pulling to the lane, stacking, double pulling, denying, denying yourself to neutrals, blocking, you just can do a lot more with the creeps, both the lane ones and the jungle ones. Also trees/juking I guess but it's not that...

    No no, the quest hubs are opened by the related story quest. So you're never going to unlock these quests, unless you make another char that starts there. There just isn't many quests, and basically enough for 1 char(at certain level ranges there's more, like I had a bunch of left overs at 30 or...

    Actually had to quit the game earlier, was about 7PM over here when I did(I forgot to reboot this morning and I had left the client on all weekend, it started melting).

    Alchemy makes potions as usual, but also makes books for arcanists(both SMN and SCH) as well as wands for conjurers. It's the skill for the ACN relic precursor. As for an easy way to farm shards, you equip a pickaxe and go outside Uldah and mine lvl 1 shit. If you mean a fast way though, then...

    Obviously it's not hard, it's gathering, but it's slow as shit when you can instead open the AH panel, click 3times and have 1000more shards. Yes it costs money but the money will be made back when I hit 50 alchemy as casual players reach 50 on their main class and I can sell them books or sell...

    Have you leveled crafting? You need an insane amount of shards in the later levels. Like 150shards per level at lvl 38, and it increases at 40 and even more at 45. I've already long used all the shards I got from the quests, had friends pool theirs for me and still had to buy some on the AH and...

    They're not making an incombat rez a cross class ability. That said quickcast is cross class, both Scholars and Summoners can quick cast incombat rez, so what you said can already be done, let the tank die first if PLD then quick cast rez him, die, he takes the rez after and rez people. Also...

    Can't find the link quickly but there was a twitch video of it like a few days ago already on bluegartr forums. I don't know about bans, it's not actually exploiting to me, it looks like normal use of shitty mechanics. As for the last part, you know, you don't run in the circles, it's really not...

    Different tokens. Mythology only drop on primals, bahamut coils and amdapor. Other tokens drop in like every fucking where, including story instances, lvl 35+dungeons and the high level shit. There is however more than farming amdapor, the point of farming amdapor is doing bahamut coils. You...

    It's not the same level for repairs as your example shows. Melding I think isn't something you'll do soonish anyway, as getting high level materias of the right type and the gear you'd want to use materias on seems fairly time consuming. For lvl 50repairs, you need lvl 40 crafting, which means...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Crafting isn't so bad, and you definitely don't need to use too many skills to level it. You'll need to, as well as level sub crafting class, if you want to HQ high level gear but that's pointless if you just want repairs and materias. For leveling it's basically pressing a macro, going afk for...

    Actually Medica is better than Succor in most cases. However, I can probably spam Succor for 20secs straight and still end up at full mana 5secs later, so at the moment it is kinda superior because of that. Contrary to what the original assumptions were on the Scholar role, atm I'd say Scholar...

    Well noticeable is a big word. It helps for sure but it's not a huge deal. Still if you plan on mainly healing, then you should definitely put them into mind. Putting them into int won't do a whole lot on hard content when you can't actually throw dots often/at all, and it only helps when lvling...

    I've healed everything up to the 47 instance. The rough ones I mentionned before are the ones with paralyze early on, Cutter's Cry last boss and Sunken Temple last boss, because you don't get the dispel until 40. You might want to buy consumables to remove it(not sure if shops sell it though and...

I definitely don't feel...

    Funny thing about dungeons, starting 30 they're all fairly challenging with cool mechanics and some instant kill don't fail type mechanics and shit. And then you get to 44 and the dungeon is a snoozefest, it's like Halatali/Haukke level(not quite the first 3). Pretty derp. Garuda on the other...

    Dungeon difficulty really picked up after Brayflox, like Temple of Qarn and Cutter's Cry are pretty intense(well the bosses, trash is a snooze fest). Hope it stays like that.

    Not sure if they have a lot of fates, but Coerthas and Mor Dhona are pretty much the higher level areas, you can access them from the shroud. Northern Thanalan is also 40-50, there's a few more areas around the maps but I don't believe they'll have fates(shit like areas around the entrance to...

    It's the lvl 10 main story quest. Just do all the storyquests, they unlock a lot of important features. Also class quests unlock skills and access to other quests. Rest is more or less optional useless sidequests, with a few exceptions.
