It's annoying as a fisher because like 90% of NQ fish don't have enough collectability, but the remaining 10% do so I can't just release them back. HQ always has enough, though I assume that might be different as a crafter.

The 3.0 changes to the base game are very minimal.

You can teleport while on your Chocobo and the XP bonus for leveling more than 1 class has increased, I guess. Skills may have changed slightly.

Speaking as a white mage, you forgot the most important change - you can now buff people still in cinematic intros.

So to get from 57-58, is it worth doing HLDR or should I be doing those on my 50 classes for XP and just high level dungeons for 57?

Practically nothing at level 50 or lower. Basically the ability to create Au Ra is it. Don't buy Heavensward until you finish the 2.55 story.

They did change all of the story quests to give about a level's worth of XP (I hit level 51 right before I got to the quests that are just an hour of cutscenes), so if you're really sure you're going to get Heavensward, you might want to pick it up early just to save yourself a tiny bit of later grinding. Otherwise, you don't get the XP because your level will be capped.

So if I want to learn how to tank should I start with Paladin or Warrior? Does it matter?

I've never paladin'ed, but I have a 60 war and a 50 drk. From what I gather, it's easier to paladin in the long run since you press less buttons. If you just want to learn, solo some poo poo with your chocobro. Maybe try to hold hate in some fate parties. Do LLDR with some pubbie shitheads and see how that works out.

I did the trial by fire -- just kept running AK in lovely gear until I learned to improve the hardway. :unsmith:

tl;dr: no it doesn't matter. Just try them both and get good at what you like.

Since I'm leveling my combat class only casually to keep pace with my SO, I figured I'd move on to Crafting/Gathering classes for now.

I never did much of the crafting/gathering grind at 50. I got all my gathering classes to 50 and then never touched them again. And I took my crafting classes to 50, gave them a HQ patricians set, and then never used them but to craft sub-50 items. How hosed am I going to be leveling them?

It seems like it takes a long time to raise the beast tribe reps if you can only get 15 rep a day from dailies. Is there something I'm missing?

Beast tribes are designed to take 30 days to max out with 6 allowances. Sorry.

They upped the allowances recently, so you can do four tribes at once now. That should get four tribes in ~50 days instead of ~100 or whatever if you did them individually.

Are there at least cool rewards at the ends (like that mount the one girl was riding with the desert-lizards-I'm-too-:effort:-to-look-up-their-name?)

You get a mount and a minion from each one, and a kinda neat I guess glamour hat if you do all of them.

With the exception of the Ixal, all the rep rewards are purely cosmetic, but are very cool (like the bomb palanquin). The Ixal also give gear and materials for crafting, but those are all obsolete now.

Each one sells you a unique mount and pet once you hit max rank. Plus, the Ixali beast tribe quests are good for levelling your crafting classes.

Ethiser posted:

You're going to want to get Gladiator to 22 anyway to get Provoke, which is basically essential to cross-class onto the other tanks, so you'd be as well starting with Paladin. I prefer Warrior, personally, but they're both equally viable.

Once you get *all* of them to max you get to do a super quest where they all team up. Which is great, and I think about 9 people in the planet have seen because you have to level all the tribes and I'm never going to loving do that.

How are the new crafting/gathering leves? I was reading that going from 50-52 is like the big hump that's hard to get past. So I thought it might be easier if I just power through those two levels with leves.

I've done Ixal/Amaljaa, got Sahagin/Sylphs/Kobolds to rank 2 with Kobolds about to hit 3 but I had to give up on the Sylphs. I just couldn't take doing those lovely lovely stealth things anymore. I might slowly do them and skip those ones later on but uuugh.

It wasn't in my spam folder but I just made a different account using another e-mail and it came through instead. When does it ask me for a friend code to sign up with? I saw the thread in PGS and may as well give a lucky goon some swag if I keep playing.

You can use your recruitment code, after you enter the FF14 CD key but not after your first free month is up. RAF and the trial are two different things which doesn't make sense as the person getting recruited has to buy the game and doesn't get the trial perks to see if they want to buy the game.

Oh, It just directed me to the mog station after I already created an account through the client (because there's nowhere to do it on the main page apparently) and that registered me for the generic free trial so I can't use a RAF code anymore. Sorry unlucky goon!
