Yo fellow Astrologians. If you're doing N.Than farming, make sure you cross class Blizzard 2 because you'll need AOE with the crazy zerg that's out here.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
I can not stress enough how amazingly great the Dark Knight quest up to 50 is. They sell the description as some rogue knight that helps the helpless, but that could not be farther from what the quest-line is actually about. What Dark Knight *really* is is you having a massive psychotic break over how unfairly bullshit your life is. It is the best!

hello I am downloading the client to trial this I hope I can get on excalibur???

but anyway if I were to buy it is there any real reason not to buy it through steam if I use steam for every other game anyway. I know you then have to buy all future stuff through steam too but I'm just trying to see if there any other concerns with that besides maybe not getting the best sales price

Super leves are worth around 4x the EXP of a regular leve I believe. Might be a little different after all the various completion bonuse sare taken into account. So they're time efficient, but not very leve efficient. I did get a chest with 5x amber vilekin though, which can be traded for some accessories.

Doesn't this make them horrible? I imagine I'd go through my leve allowances like water and come out nowhere near the same level as if I did them normally.

Getting on Excal is going to be a poo poo show for probably the next two weeks, your best chance is probably ~4-6am est on weekdays, or immediately after servers come up from maintenance (IDK when the next one is)

Steam is fine for buying the game, you gain the ability to pay for sub with steam wallet but lose the chance to shop around for deals

Just do it, tanking owns. The worst thing that can happen is some nerds on the internet whine at you in party chat sometimes until you get good, and even that's unlikely.

Generally your mechanics are much less complicated than DPS classes as you're more concerned with things DPS generally don't have to do like positioning and such, so don't think that tanking is basically doing monk combos/rotation while also all the fight mechanics. It's easier than that.

I really don't know how anyone could ever possibly think that she was actually dead. You see her drink the wine then she's just whisked away, and when Raubaun demanded to see her they were really cagey about it; if she was actually dead they'd be practically throwing her corpse at him.

This is an anime, after all. As a wise goon once said, if you don't see a mangled corpse, the character isn't dead.

If I'm thinking of the right thing, to get to the area southeast of the Moghome aetheryte you need to go down into the area where the moogleking or whatever is then across from where you enter that area there's a ramp going up. There's several quest destinations there.

Eh largely because her stupid republic plan is idiotic. 'Oh the monetarists buy peoples support with money. Therefor I shall make the government a republic to stop them...where the people's whose vote they buy can then legally ensure they rule forever." :colbert: She was more useful and interesting as a tragic character. Her 'death' scene played up the fact that she was dying too much for me to easily say she'd be alive. Because her being alive is the easy way out of that plot. And...it was.


Mainly I think it's a 'cheap' resolution to that plot. All we lost is Raubahns arm, because you know the Scions are 1000% alive if she is.

Yay I'm back from a month long business trip and can play the game again just in time for early access for my preorder! Only... I can't, I got the code, went to enter it and for some reason its a steam account despite never buying the game through steam? So the code they gave me doesn't work and apparently I couldn't purchase it through steam either since I never paid for it through steam. Is support seriously not open again until monday? I fly out again tuesday so I'm guessing I just wasted money.

If that is indeed the case I'm so so sorry, that loving sucks.

That said, are you sure you're not just trying to register the expansion? Early access isn't an expansion code, and nobody has an expansion code that didn't buy from Steam. Follow the instructions carefully, you need to register as I believe a pre-order bonus code.

The pre order code is 5 groups of 4, activation code is grouped like 6-3-6-3. I cannot purchase the expansion on steam because I do not have the base game on steam despite mogstation apparently thinking I have a steam account so I'm not really sure what to do.

Out of curiosity, did you start with the steam demo, and then upgrade to a full game through mogstation or the square shop/somewhere else?
