Similarly, there is a bear mount for doing the same as warrior.

If you plan to farm for it deliberately, turn 4 (if you're with known competent people) or turn 2 enrage (if not) are probably your best bets. Personally, I'm gradually poking away at it as I watch Leviathan refuse to drop mirrors.

Seannuykun is referring to the 18hr explorations. There are 3 tiers of lvl50 explorations you can do. You can easily hit the cap for the first two with the AF mainhand and HQ class exclusive gear (tip: you can buy the AF mainhand from a Calamity Salvager) but the last tier required 383 gathering. My retainer is sitting at 327 so I'll probably need to overmeld and get her a forager mainhand. No idea what you gather from that last tier (minions?) but it's not necessary if you're only gathering shards/crystals.

For fishing, it's 308, presumably because of the lack of an offhand. With the ilvl 70 hat and rod, I only needed two grade I and two grade II materia to hit it. For a miner or botanist, you can hit 358 with no materia, so you only need enough materia for 25 gathering. You should be able to hit that without overmelding, so it's not too prohibitively expensive. It's not great, but it could be worse.

So far, my fisher has brought back a lot of mahi mahi. She did bring me a minute mindflayer this morning, though. :3:

So I had to cancel autorenew because I wasn't going to get paid for a day later than usual, and now I'm trying to reactivate my account and I'm absolutely baffled. It suddenly lists my payment method as "steam wallet" which is weird because I've never used that in my life, and when I click on "subscription payment" at this screen:



It takes me to this page which won't let me change any of the options except for standard/entry:



and when I try to hit "next" it just gives me an error and tells me to contact support. I registered my debit card (which I'd already used for a month but it was nowhere on any of my info) at the like, main square enix account site, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference on the mog station or whatever side. It lists that I made a payment with my debit card last month in the service history, too. Checking on my Square-Enix account site just sends me in a loop back to the mog station.

I forgot how goddamn hard SE always makes it pay them for their MMOs. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? Is something wrong or am I hella retarded?

I never managed to land exactly in the seat. I could elusive jump from the top floor right next to the seat, but never exactly on top.

I could macro it so I could sit down on it immediately after though. That's close enough. Right?

It's best used during Titan because you do an elegant backflip and two frames later you're in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the arena. Express elevator to Hell! :toot:

They might've fixed the whole "Hurl yourself off the edge and die with Elusive Jump" thing during trials, however, because you can't do it against Leviathan and when I tried it during a roulette Story Titan I glitched along the boundary for a moment and landed perfectly safe.

Sorry, guy.
So I'm at a point on my relic quest/post-50 game where my item level is 53 average.

Titan Hard is 57. Almost all my gear is 55, a couple pieces are less. (But to buy even say, earrings at level 70 at the Market Board is going to cost me 100k and I don't have that.)

Where is a good spot to get higher item level gear that I *Can* do. As I said, I'm iLevel 53. I just beat Garuda. I can't go farther. I run Amdapor & Wanderers but both seem to throw out gear that isn't enough to really push my average up to 57.

I'm assuming I need either a lot of 60, or a couple 70 items.

Can darklight gear be purchased for seals now? If it can, buy some of that, one or 2 pieces should do you, don't get jewelry, get a main piece, as it will help a lot more.

Who even sells Darklight? I may have to check that out...

And to the other poster... I was saving my tomes for other stuff.. I only have 400 Myth like 108 Soldiery. (I can grind though, I suppose.)

[edit] Oh the chick in Revenants sells it. I wasn't aware it was for seals though. I will double check...

No one sells it anymore as of 2.2. It drops from the "expert" dungeons (Brayflox HM, Halatali HM, Lost City of Amdapor), albeit in loot tables that are bloated with the 2-star crafting mats in the case of the left-hand side pieces.

The stuff you can buy with (myth) tomes is i90 compared to darklight i70 though, so that advice is perfectly valid for raising your ilevels.

It's unequivocally better, but the problem is that Myth tomes do not drop at the same rate as Philo did originally.

The Steam version is just the regular version installed through your Steam client. All the patching still goes through SE's servers.

Nope, there isn't. Imagine it from Steam's perspective. You would register a game you haven't bought through them, that made them no money, but use their infrastructure to download a 10GB client, presumably more than once. Contrary to popular belief, server space and traffic come at a price :)

From a Square Enix rep on reddit.

Of course people called him out on that since Valve has no problems allowing publishers giving away keys for the game. It's just Square Enix being greedy.

It kind of is when the loot tables for the expert dungeons are so bloated with all the darklight stuff and the crafting stuff and the new gear that it takes forever to get anything halfway decent. Fix the loot drops from the new dungeons and this won't be a problem imo.

The crafting stuff for the most part can be either used to craft ilevel 70 gear (which most crafters will do for free) or flip on the market immediately to buy the gear. Most ilevel 70 stuff is selling for less than 70-80 grand a piece on gilgamesh, and that is probably dropping with the dropping costs of ilevel 90 crafted. The darklight stuff you can't use is easily turned in for seals to buy mats to make ilevel 70 stuff or just sell it on the market board.

It doesn't make sense to drop myth right now at the 2.1 philo rate. That would basically make everything from 50-90 pointless, and it isn't.

I'm sure myth will flow like water in 2.3. Philo only came at super easy levels in 2.1. So make money selling myth mats now, because I'm sure that market will crash come 2.3 like the philo mat market did before it.
