You can solo, but it requires some preparation. First you need to change your magia board. For soloing, you'll want at least one defensive, sometimes 2(later when you have more orbs), so you don't die to shit too quick that's your level. Rest in attack. So say you're fighting a water mob, you...

Well the fact the jobs don't play the same? Your eureka elemental level is the same regardless, but you're gonna be soloing a lot easier on a RDM than on a MNK for example, and if you play heal or tank you can do these when grouping up and so on.

Yeah I've rolled several chars since and I figured out quick it was more efficient to lvl on elite. Also you hit 31 if you do it with Lokarr and a potion. I do ~35mins normal for 28shrines and some quest xp on the way, hit around 40, then I start elite at 40/28 after less than an hour and just...

And by now, you mean within the next 5 to 6 months.

If you mean less than 4hours on a fresh league on your own, Raiz did some videos iirc, and there's some guy who made many Kitava kill videos with a variety of skills to show which is viable other than Storm Brand and Winter Orb. The large part of leveling quickly though is learning to stop...

Yeah doing the story mode is definitely mostly "enough", for the most part. Noteworthy however is that in Stormblood, they decided to add an additional phase (which really is like a full boss) to every raid tier, and they come with cool transitions. I suggest looking them up on youtube after...

Ultimates are a side thing really, they reuse models from original content(Ultimate Ultima is Ultima obviously with a lot of Garuda/Ifrit/Titan stuff mixed in and Ultimate Coil is Twintania/Nael/Bahamut mixed together). They only reward cosmetic rewards, gold weapons and titles and what not. It...

There is harder difficulty of the same raids, although it requires clearing them on normal first. Each 8man raid has a Savage version, minus Coil which is a bit weird since it's old, coil was balanced to be pretty hard from the getgo, then they made savage for the 2nd coil only as an experiment...

Not sure where you live but since it's in japan, with timezones it'll probably in the middle of the night for the US(or very early morning). Daytime for EU though so yeah. I don't know if I'd take time off work just for the live letter though especially with the expansion coming, better take...

May 24th btw for the next live letter, the big one. After that basically one month to scramble to get ready for the expansion. I need to craft so much shit but I don't want to get started :(

Omega for the "EU RP server" sure doesn't have a lot of houses bought, even though it seemed easy to sell overpriced items. When I moved out I bought a house first for the free 3m, and there were a ton of choices in mist(I didn't pay attention to positions but there were a bunch), and then I...

I'd say the biggest hurdles for this game as a new player is how slow the combat starts and how slow the questing starts. Combat is a snoozefest until 50+ which can be a real downside for some people especially people who are used to mmos and such, but it definitely gets a lot better once you...

Well it is kinda annoying to go buy shit and come back but it should event out on big prices items. If you want to buy full Rakshasa, you might as well shop around before you buy. Honestly without a loot lockout on Orbonne, I'm not sure I even want to step in there again. That place fucking...

Leves are craft specific. If it's shoes, it's likely only leatherworking(or armorsmithing if it happens to be that). And 8k isn't particularily cheap. Hope 4.57 has Hydatos nerf. That place is fucking dead already out of primetime while Pyros still works fine, but I'm done farming Pyros...

Yeah shit's stupid not sure how they didn't revert it tbh. There's a reason there's no affixes on Uber Elder, Shaper or Mastermind. In Delve I believe you can also keep retrying the fight, or just leave it for later and dive further to find another. Even some of the mini bosses are deadly with...

Monk stances is really easy. Fire does nothing, just roll the damage into the skills or GL, nobody cares. Keep Riddle of Earth for a defensive+GL refresh, don't need fist of earth for anything either. Finally for wind, you can just make tackle always wind tackle, or add a 2nd Riddle of Wind...

Are they actually selling though or is that just the price they're listed at? I was on Omega until a week ago or so when I used the free transfer to move out and the economy was super fucked there(well until some Balmung guy moved in and flooded the market with cheap Rakshasa shit, literally...

FCs in my experience rarely "run raids". They sometimes have statics within the FC, but a lot of time people join a static with other people on their server/datacenter, based on class needs and such, and don't actually raid with their FC. FC is more or less social, with the buffs being important...

I could see DRK being OT too, since TBN is one of the best offtanking support ability. They could give them a couple more part of the rework(the debuff shit that heals at the end of its duration/when the mob dies could be reworked into some support shit for example) and it'd work nicely like...

It's funny because technically, it's one of the most "empty" zones they've done, it's mostly just a large plain with a few mountains around it and that big ass floating shit in the middle, but it captures the whole steppe feeling really well because of it, and it's definitely a great looking...

Yeah BLMs for progression isn't probably a great idea, but you can do RDM on progression and once you know the fight well enough switch to BLM for much much faster kills. Also I'd say there's progression and progression. If you're doing progression 2months after everyone else, you can probably...

RDM would work fine too, it's not really twitchy, it has shorter cast time but it's still long enough that it doesn't matter. I guess the melee combo is pretty fast by FFXIV standards but since you don't need to weave much in it(sometimes your oGCDs, but only when they line up which is not...

Well ShB is pretty far off so you'd have time even doing the MSQ. You should definitely keep the HW MSQ for leveling though, and then buy a skip if you really don't care about the rest once 60. Also not sure if you've been using it already but you should preorder ShB to get the xp earring.

There's an ARR only story skip potion iirc, and it only skips to the first HW quest, basically the same as if you did everything in 2.x and HW just released. That's what you want if you don't want to grind through all the ARR shit. Past that get to 60 and complete 3.0 MSQ first and then buy the...

Ghymlit is really really easy though. The trash does no damage and the bosses are fairly simple. Honestly the arborium or whatever dungeon that's also in expert is much harder imo, trash hurts a fair bit and the boss have mechanics that seem to confuse idiots really bad or people just don't...

I want to say it's like wow, the solo game is so simple you don't learn much, and some people are just really fucking bad. For the DPS single targetting stuff it shouldn't be too much of an issue if you just overpower once or twice more or just change target to them too. You'll definitely see...

Yeah warriors are the only ones who can pull trash in DPS stance and hold the mobs properly against a competent DPS aoeing too, and even then I wouldn't. The issue isn't even just threat, it's the fact trash mobs is a lot of incoming damage in a constant stream, which is very different than...

Btw on the subject of MGP and the car next week, this week's Fashion report is stupidly easy, you basically need 2 vendor items for a whooping 400g, Hempen Chausses and Amateur Thighboots. In case people haven't done fashion report, you just go there with gear in every slot and you either use...

Honestly not sure how useful that'd be versus just using a normal movement skill. Melee doesn't have issues in that regard, due to having high attack speed, they can use both leapslam and whirling blades and easily beat most ranged classes in terms of "movement" speed. The pull would be super...

Cyclone most likely? Not sure what tag though. There's also Blade Flurry which I think isn't technically channelled atm? Could be something else obviously. If they did make Cyclone into a channelled while moving skill instead of the D2 click to move system though, that shit would feel a lot...

There was a reddit post yesterday about this on the front page, like how they shouldn't just tweak numbers for melee skills but look in depth into the melee mechanics and how a lot of this shit feels bad, so it's nice they are actually looking into it. Honestly, besides a few really bad melee...

I mean it's the same for all 2FA shit, always note down the removal password somewhere and that fixes all your issues. Everytime people complain about this, it's because they "lost" or "don't have" the removal password, when the whole point of the removal password is to avoid these situations...

General rules imo for tanking in dungeons: Trash packs: Always tank stance. There are some fringe cases for DPS stance, but generally only if you can only pull one pack or whatever, or you're vastly overgeared(dungeons that aren't item level synced at old caps for example, especially when trash...

Level skips come with a set of Shire gear(lvl 60 tome gear), but not sure story skips come with anything. Not sure what lvl you are, but generally you shouldn't have to actually buy much gear, especially past 50. Ironworks and Shire use Poetics tomestones, which is an "endgame" currency, only...

Kill speed isn't really the tank, but pull speed is. Generally every dungeon past ARR leveling is designed to be pulled several packs at a time, quite often "wall to wall", which is basically sprint and aggro everything you can until you can't progress anymore(door closed, rocks, whatever...

With 3 ppl yeah everything's doable easily. The hardest part is T9, but with 3 people you can actually do it properly so it shouldn't be an issue.

Nael still is pretty expensive. Bahamut less so, since you can solo him. You technically can solo Nael, but shit's a fucking pain in the ass and is for now limited to just one job, summoner(and decked out summoner only). Come next expansion though it should be doable with summoner and scholar...

You see how the ARR story ends just fine? The cutscene and general coil story is about 1.0 ending, which is also the intro cutscene. It's about what happened inbetween, before ARR starts. It has very little impact on the rest of the story like most side content, there are some references here...

I mean beastiary is just free money, it's fine the way it is, and the crafting thing is useful if only for flask crafting, or getting corrupted items without potentially fucking them with the quality recipes. They could potentially do something similar for Synthesis, just have random spawned...

HoH didn't ship with SB, they added it later, 4.1 or 4.2. I know cause I leveled every class to 70 before it was added so now I have to grind it on max lvl chars to max my level shit for ShB release. And generally speaking, it's a fine place to level in other than dungeons, and unlike dungeons...
