    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I asked in the ISIS FC last week whether I should spend my philosophy on relic or darklight first. In my mind, it made more sense to get the weapon since armor is pretty meaningless. I got a unanimous "you must get darklight" because otherwise you won't survive Titan. I've been reading a lot of...

    What they should have done is made the trash mobs drop 1-2 philosophy, and the bosses drop 20-30 mythology a piece. Those numbers may be a bit off, but if at the end of the hour run you have 150-200 philosophy and 50-100 mythology, I think that'd be better balanced. Gives an incentive to kill...

    It sucks for mythology though. Will still end up having to do 8 long ass AK runs to cap out. If they take an hour, you've just spent a working day a week running it.

    Has there been any mention of the duty finder queues being fixed? That's going to be a real ass kicker if it's still a 30 minute wait with a pre-made group, plus an hour long run.

    The problem is you have to run the dungeon about 70 fucking times to get geared. That's a retarded amount. I mean, it gets old after doing speed runs half a dozen times. The mobs in AK take forever to fucking kill, and like everyone else has said, they don't drop anything. They're literally just...

    I hate their prime time maintenance. If their login server didn't have to touch both the JP and NA/EU servers, they could roll them out at separate times.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Correct etiquette is to wait for someone to finish and either ask how many sets they have left, or ask to work in. If they for some reason get mad at this, they're a giant asshole anyway and it wouldn't matter what you did. I grab a towel and put it on whatever I'm working out on. Prevents my...

    I'm confused. Does Irsay think the Colts are playing the Heat this weekend? Or that the Heat are subbing players in for the Dolphins?\ As far as the TD's, I thought it was an issue of where possession is established. If it's outside the end zone, you just need to barely cross it. If it's...

    What in the fuck is going on in this thread? You all need to lighten up a bit. I get being competitive, but it sounds like you're making MMO's a job. Screw that.

    This is pretty much it comes down to. Just stop whatever it is you were doing and move. Otherwise you'll eat it. I will say that aggro is a pain in the ass in this game, especially if what you're saying about bards being lower DPS is true. I have the garuda bow at the moment, and if the tank...

    I've become a much nicer person lately, and when I see people do it I just don't say anything anymore. I grouped with a WHM that insisted he was always out of the red crap, but as a bard I could clearly tell he didn't even TRY to move until it was way too late. Then again, I've been guilty of...

    Not sure why you assume all the other dps will suck. Fuck, do you even really group outside of the same people anymore at this point? You realistically shouldn't be carrying anyone at this point.

    Fucking hell man. You're driving me crazy with this shit. It's like you stole a play out of the Merlin handbook. And it's been going on for pages now, I just finally brought it up cause this was 2 posts in a row.

    Convert to materia. I don't know that it'd be worth selling anything for the 5 gil or whatever it gives you. Then again, the materia is pretty worthless as well. Or you can do what I'm doing and level up every class so you can get rid of old shit. I'm up to 15+ on all my war classes, 10+ on...

    Basically just means you won't be running dungeons from 15-45 unless you save armor or buy it. But once you hit 45 you can just grab the AF shit and be back in business. It's probably more for end game so you're not trying to run BC in shit gear.

    War with Syria

    No. It was more of a sarcastic comment as opposed to definitive. They really seem to want this war though, and it wouldn't surprise me if they came up with some other bullshit as reason to go kill some brown people.

    War with Syria

    Don't worry, they'll just move the goal posts a little bit further for every concession Syria gives. We're going to war, it's just a matter of how long it takes and on what retarded shit they come up with as justification.

    That's kind of funny now that I think about it. I've leveled a lot of my alt classes, and if I were going to level another DPS, in the time it took me to get through a queue I'd likely already have outleveled the dungeon I was queueing for. So especially for secondary classes, you can level...

    I wish they'd do something about AK. I've only run it like 15 times and I'm really not looking forward to another 55. And that's assuming I want to stick with bard. I like the class a lot, but there are about to be 30 times as many. And I hate being the popular class.

    Somehow I completely missed the word "levequests" in there. My bad. Yeah, leves bring in a decent amount of money. Not nearly enough though.

    Technically you're not bringing any money into the economy. You're just taking it from other players. Once the quests run out for the majority of people, gil will get hit with huge deflation. As far as crafting goes, if you're not 50 already, you missed the boat. I hit 50 carpenter yesterday...
