Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.

Hey Moogle skyland!

I'm pretty sure that's the island where the level 60 Bard quest happens. I didn't notice it was moogle-shaped at the time but in retrospect it's appropriate.

So uh.

Apparently during "Hyper Electricity" weather in Azys La, coil bosses are spawning as unmarked boss FATEs. So far people have spotted The Avatar, Raff, and Melusine, youtube video is coming shortly.

I have no idea how to react to this.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

So I've been playing this for two days now, just hit lvl 18. I had a few questions.

1. Are there any sidequest lines it would behoove me to get started on now that I will regret not doing later? I started as a Conjurer, if it matters. I just completed the emissary quest and visited the other 2 capitals.

2. Is it necessary to grind out at least one gathering skill and one making skill? If so, are any more in demand than others, or more valuable?

3. When is a good time to start leveling your secondary job class? I was aiming for White Mage ultimately.

4. I've been dumping all my stat points in mind. Should I just keep doing that? Are they ever refundable?

5. Anything I should really be aware of as a noob that I'm probably not? I've read most of the beginner guides but they can only cover so much.

I'm on a trial account as well, though I'll probably have to buy the actual game tomorrow or be stuck at the level cap. I'm on Goblin right now because character creation wasn't up on Excal. Name is 'Littlest Buddy.'

1. http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content This will tell you where all the important stuff to get is levels 1-50.

2. It isn't necessary but they are fun. In terms of demand, I can't help you.

3. There's no bad time to do it. When you hit 30 you need to go get arcanist to 15 to unlock the whm job. After that you will want 26 thaumaturge and 34 arcanist for cross class skills. It used to be that you could get to 50 before going back and getting these cc skills but with the level cap raised to 60 I don't know. My gut instinct is that 34 arcanist is nice but it can wait. 26 thaumaturge cannot. Get it as soon as you can be bothered.

4. Yes. They are refundable, you can get an item from your grand company once you unlock them.

5. Enough people have missed this so I will mention it. This button is your best friend http://eorzeareborn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Retainer-4.jpg. When you sell items it will show you what people are currently selling that item for. AH everything you pick up that sells for more than vendor price.

FATE DESCRIPTION:

"After five millennia offline, Proto Ultima has restored auxiliary power and begun a full systems check. To recharge its main power cells, the Allagan killing machine has deployed several aether collectors guarded by some of the most frightening of the fallen empire's godless creations."

On a maybe related note, I spotted this thing in the Sea of Clouds, up near the entrance to Neverreap:



It's not part of Azys Lla, and it's definitely not the imperial dreadnought. What is it?

Apr 3, 2013
Two reasons why it might not be known:

1) For all we know, since this looks like HW's version of Odin, it may have never spawned before now.

2) Even if it did, we haven't had a lot of people in the 60 zone for long, so perhaps whatever condition spawns it may ahve not been met until earlier today.

Actually that's a level 59 FATE, so that probably isn't even the Odin fate.

I thought Odin was Couerlregina? We managed to pop and kill her a couple of days ago on Sargantanas, and she had an AoE that was 1-shotting just about everyone on the server aside from a few tanks & truly hardcore players.

Oh. That may be correct. Also apparently the Odin FATE scales to like 67 now and is hitting tanks for 47k autos, so that should be fun.
