Wait, doesn't everyone have a real life password folder? Like with pen and paper. Mine is like 15years old. So, what class should i play at the start? I tried arcanist and it sucks(lame skills at level 15). FunkyFlashman fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Aug 16, 2014 |

Verranicus posted:Does anyone have a list of what towns sell what levels of gathering/crafting gear from their vendors? It's a pain in the butt teleporting around searching and I know I'll get stuff cheaper from them than from the AH. I don't, but I'll point you to the database of vendor NPCs that you can use to find out who sells what. Generally speaking, you'll want to look: 1-9: City that contains the guild for the class. 10-24: Level appropriate camp in the starting zone for the city with the guild for the class. 28-29: Quarrymill (FSH 25) 29-32: Costa del Sol 33-35: Camp Dragonhead (FSH 37) 38-40: Camp Whitehead (FSH 40) 43+: Saint Coinach's Find (FSH 40) cheetah7071 posted:Speaking of one-time passwords, all this talk has made me double check my one-time password removal code and I can't find where I wrote it down. I still have my one-time password keychain thing so it isn't a big deal at the moment, but where do I go to find the removal code, just in case? You can look it up by logging into the Mog Station and choosing Square Enix Account Settings, One Time Password or (or maybe just go straight there, not sure if that link will work if you're not already logged in). It will include information about your token and your Emergency Removal Password. FunkyFlashman posted:Wait, doesn't everyone have a real life password folder? Like with pen and paper.

Either/or.

And some classes, it's not until even later levels that you really get the swing of things. Take LNC/DRG, for example. A lot of people play it long enough to just get blood for blood, and they hate it because you really don't have a lot of variety of moves up to that point. Once you get 38, though, and get disembowel, the game changes. You actually have a bit of a rotation at that point and really start to grow into a dragoon.

Unless it's the same as the serial number?

It may be a software token only thing. I don't remember - I switched from the keychain to the software token sometime last year. I don't recall it being an option for the keychain, so I think if you have a keychain, the official solution is to not lose the keychain. Edit: If it helps, it looks something like this:

Mr. Nice! posted:But having a 2.3 (sub 2.2 with selene) GCD on DRG is a fun time. I can't speak for MNKs, but as far as DRGs are concerned, your rotation shouldn't be changing until you reach currently unobtainable levels of skill speed. At current values, the optimal GCD rotation never deviates from HT/CT/P/FT/HT/FT/P/CT/HT/FT/P/FT.

So I have the regular edition on the PC, and I bought a used copy of the PS3 collector's edition. My plan was to play on there for crafting and whatnot, but really my endgame there was to get that dvd that comes with it. Anyhow, after installing on my ps3, it wants me to put in a registration code, but the copy I have has already used it. My questions are: 1) Can I use the disc i have, or do I have to download a digital copy from the PS3 store, since I'm guessing this is DRM and the code only works once? 2) If I can't use the disc, is there anyway to get the collector's edition bonuses, or will I have to do the digital upgrade to CE if I want a fat chocobo? ETA: It doesn't really ruin my day if I can't upgrade or play on my PS3, I just wanted the DVD more than anything else in the package, but it'd be cool to craft on the couch

The Hunt posts from a page or two ago got me thinking critically about 2.4 again. Are we going to see myth going the way of philo? Someone suggested that AF2 gear appearing in the Allied Seals store is to make the Mor Dhona myth vendor obsolete so they can retire it and introduce a new tomestone tier. Or perhaps they'll keep myth, raise the cap, and continue to make it drop like candy? And what will the new ilvl tiers be? Myth -> sold -> unweathered is +10 on each step, but philo -> myth was +20. And Coil 1 -> Coil 2 was also +20. Will we see i110 that upgrades into i120, or i120 that upgrades into i130?

As a fresh 50 WHM, what's the best plan for getting geared? I found the NPC in Mor Dhona that sells ilvl 90 stuff, and was just going to run duty roulette once a day for the Tomestones of Mythology and start buying that stuff. Is that a solid plan? And I can't decide whether I should replace my crappiest stuff first (for instance my necklace is ilvl 37) or if I should replace the biggest stuff first (replacing the robe will gain me the most MND stat).

Do hunts for like two hours for full i90 gear, then do your relic quest, then do hunts for myth tomestones to zenith it. Then do hunts for soldery cap and save seals for the items needed to upgrade the weathered gear.

Are you on Excalibur? If so, there's already a hunt TS that you can hop in and wait to get picked up into a hunt group. If not, then you'll have to search your server for a hunt group.

Do hunts if you want to skip over a good chunk of the game (level 50 dungeons) and get bored faster once you get that sweet, sweet gear in 2 hours.

The emergency removal key is only for the software token, because SE realized that phones frequently need to update or apps stop working for no good reason or the app can desynch if someone drops a potato on the second Tuesday of a month. The end user is the weakest link in the chain, but there's only so much SE can do in that regard. The only way to remove the physical token is to contact SE Support, but on the plus side the physical tokens have an astronomically smaller rate of failure compared to the software token.

I've taken up gardening, and now I only have 14 levels left on white mage to be done with every combat class. If anything, hunts have freed me up to do things besides deal with doing dungeons until I capped soldiery. Plus sweet loot.

Mr. Nice! posted:
I'm late replying to this, I know, there's one thing that would make running such content more compelling: Glamours and cosmetic items. Never underestimate the power of pretty princess dress-up. After all, people don't run Mog HM for the i75 weapons themselves. I can think of a few things along these lines that would help revitalize neglected content: -Have lesser ilvl versions of the primal weapons drop from Levi and Ramuh HM to be primarily used for glamour/desynth purposes (unique armor skins would also be nice but I know that takes time and resources to implement) -Make mounts and bardings from the Extreme primals have a greater-than-infinitesimal chance of dropping -Remove crafting items from the loot tables of the 2.2 and 2.3 4-man dungeons to increase the chance of getting armor drops (seriously, I still haven't seen the Robe of Divine Harvest after dozens of Tam Tara and SV HM runs, but I've seen plenty of filtered water drop from the end boss chest) There is a precedent that enough people will find these things compelling enough to revitalize this content. Look at how many people were running Brayflox NM with their 50's for a chance at Battlemage/Infantry/Cavalry gear after glamours were released. Some people play the game for more than just min/maxing their tomes per minute and gear score. I have to agree with the poster above you in that this game has a severe lack of intermediate content that lies between "PUG faceroll" (4 mans, CT, hunts) and "static required" (Coil). Extreme primals seem to be the closest we have to this but since the rewards aren't any better than the PUG faceroll tier of content few people bother with them. As previously mentioned, the game has basically become Hunts 'n Coil XIV and a lot of people, myself included, are getting bored and/or burning out.

They've already said that they are looking into reducing the drop rate of crafting mats in dungeons. Reminder that this patch gave us the ilvl 80 sets from the new dungeons, dyeable AF (which follows the new design scheme of metal keeping its shader effects when dyed), a very easy way of unweathering soldiery gear to make them dyeable, new PvP gear with actual unique models etc. There's a lot of poo poo they added this patch to customize your looks. Yeah you'll need a static to get far into Coil 2 but the first 5 turns would definitely fall into the level of game commitment you're talking about.

Small but significant correction to this, IMO: Turns 1-4 are PUG faceroll at this point, and T5 is roughly the desired tier alongside extreme primals (though it's a little harder than most of them). I've been going down the T6-9 poopsocking route, but my initial group of FC buddies are all in the camp being discussed -- people who want fights more challenging than HM primals but not as crazy as Second Coil. Who knows, maybe they'll start experimenting with main scenario fights that are actually challenging.  I would love it if Omega Weapon's story mode was perhaps Garuda/Ifrit EX level of difficulty.Rei_ posted:So like when do we start getting details on 2.4 anyway, I know 2.3 is only about a month old but after all the event stuff is over mid-September we should start to hear what's coming up next, right? The next Live Letter is next Friday, August 22. I doubt we'll get a release date for 2.4, but you never know. I think current predictions have 2.4 at the end of October or the beginning of November. We already know that it'll be Rogue/Ninja and Third Coil, at the very least.

All I know is to get Medica 2 on everyone before the pull. If you can get everyone to group up nicely, Cure III. Thanks to culling/other players refusing to stack, that may be impossible. Otherwise, alternate between Medica and Medica II to keep the regen effect up. Remember to use Divine Seal and Presence of Mind on the pull. Presence of Mind is easy to forget, but the spell speed increase is enough to get an extra AOE out before a B rank melts.

Also that extra skill speed makes it so you can hit all three dots with b4b, inner release, and an x-pot of strength up. Without the SS you won't be able to get in that fracture at the tail end.
