Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

Ya we just did the Cosmoliners also, waiting on next cycle.

The new "Levequest" stuff is really cool though, the crafting items are just given to you, and gathering items are just removed when you turn in.

Still waiting for a Critical Quest(They seem to be based off of Weather Cycles, and certain other factors.) Did a mech thing though that was fun.


I'm really sad that the items have 0 Flavor text, I really miss Koji for that.

So finally had a Critical, "Red Alert"

You will get a 5min warning before it starts, no Mech OPs will run also.

Its tied to weather conditions, so I'm thinking after 3-4 different Mech OPs the next weather change will cause it too happen.

There will be 2 sets of I'm calling them "Leve Fates" sense the whole system seems to follow a upgraded levequest system.

and the points when you finish them are really really good, and a lot of the lower level players all said the EXP was really good.

Got a chuckle out of this on the FF14 subreddit

So is cosmic exploration mainly for levelling doh/dol jobs, and collecting the orchestral/mount etc stuff that comes from the shop and gambling?
Not sure if the fully upgraded weapons will ever be worth using especially considering how much grinding will be required to get there.

Phase 9 gathering tools have +20% to collectible proc rate which is fairly useful. Crafter ones have no effect until Phase 10 which likely adds tools already have "Increases to quality are 1.75 times higher than normal when material condition is Good." like prior expansion relic tools. Lodestone needed to be updated

You get a bonus to the currency on the new tools once they get high enough as well. Keep in mind we will be going to a different planet with every major patch, so there will be 3 more major updates to this. Presumably the shops will offer more stuff and I imagine additional stages to the relic tools

The Current stage relic is good for Fisher(Overall)

for Miner/Botanist the current stage relic is good for just collectables, which .. there isn't much of getting them required on moon(I think there is like 8-10 of the missions that require reduction)

If the Crafting ones have a effect it will be just a copy of EW's effect(that is what they have been lately, just the numbers are slightly increased).

ehh the bonus currency from the tools is just a "shrug" you can fly thru a bunch of C/B Missions and or just do the Mech Op/Ground Support stuff, the nice thing is you DON'T have to be a gather/crafting class so if you just want the currency to roll the roulette, and nab things from the currency store you can.

Tallest mount they ever had, but I guess the Achievement one(The 500k all DoL/H) is taller.



Also all the Disciple of Hand, Cosmic tools actually have the Endwalker + Quality effect.. I'm guessing with all the extra effects they are applying to the tools they just forgot to add the flavor text.
