Goons, I need to source someone who's a level 60 miner or level 60 botanist on Excalibur and has unlocked the legendary gathering nodes using scrips in The Churning Mists. It is required for spawning one of the S ranks. Please contact me ingame

It take 4-5 dungeon runs per level from 51-54 so far. Do your daily hunts as your alt, HLDR / LLDR, and run some dungeons with friends. It really isn't that hard to level with the armory bonus.

Sohm Al is about 20 minutes for almost 300k XP which is pretty good. Dusk Vigil is like 25 minutes for 250k so 51-52 is pretty rough. Most importantly though, not sure if it's by design but since the dungeons are good for two levels, half of the time spent grinding you are eligible for Chain Bonus because you are equal level with the dungeon mobs.

So someone pointed out that there's rocks shaped like Alexander at all the spots in the barrier where his head and his other arm will probably peek out. http://imgur.com/a/6N9jN

Pretty much. No reason to completely change the terrain geometry for something that's going to (not) be there for all of two weeks.

Implementing terrain phasing in this way allows them to gate Alexander's appearance by quest progress instead of just updating him each patch. This way he stays submerged for people who haven't completed the story and won't be in full neon doom mode during 3.5 for players who are just starting the quests. Idleshire is the same way, in that the ruins likely have the same collision as whatever more developed buildings and doodads will appear as part of the Heavensward patch cycle.

Idlyshire also saves on the energy of development by being on its own map, separate from the rest of the zone. So if they DO want to make big changes, it's not as much effort to do so.

Find one of the leaders online and ask them to boot some offline people for you. The Hunt LS i was in to get my Dragoon's seals has the following names that can invite. Just do a player search to find one online. There are more, I forgot to take a screenshot before I dropped. This is the formerly named 'Don't hunt as a DPS' / 'I was almost there' LS. Drath (something) Low One Vandes (hi vandes, he loves tells) e: if anyone is in that LS wouldn't mind posting more names for us to keep track of that can invite, it'd be great. Getting into a hunt LS is pretty annoying due to the limited capacity and the 'kick all the offlines' style of running them. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jun 28, 2015 |

I assume Alex as it is will remain like that until either he's beaten in the Alex questline or the next stage opens up. The one red glowing eye out of three kinda makes me assume it'll be that kinda deal where yeah we beat the boss but we couldn't stop their plan, in true JRPG fashion. So like, what's the other raid going to be? If we get Alex in a week, and Alex Savage in another two... That means 3.1 needs a Crystal Tower equivalent, right? Maybe it'll be that thing above the ARF?

I was under the impression that Alex was going to be split into multiple parts, like Coil. And the casual raid is almost certainly going to have something to do with all the stuff in Azys Lla.

Got the game, stayed up most of the night last night and Excalibur never opened up which is partly due to the expansion I am sure. The op mentions you can transfer over for about 20 bones, but can you only transfer over while servers are allowing for creation? Basically I just wanna try this dumb game out

This is my favorite dungeon theme in 3.0 by far and I could just as easily see it used in a game like SR: Dragonfall. Especially at around 0:52 in the link. The final battle music is amazing and probably fights Corpse Hall for my favorite theme overall. Intoluene posted:Just leave it. You get handed an equivalent to a Zodiac or dreadwyrm at 56. The zenith will be fine for doing 2.0-2.55 story with. Getting an i120 poetics weapon will be on par with 3.0 rewards until 54-55 and an i130 ironworks would still be fine until 58, when the sidequests pretty much throw an entire i145 HQ set at you unless you're weird and don't do any quests for xp. Doublestep posted:I really hope Azys Lla becomes more than just a token visit from 59-60 It's going to have the 24 man raid and if some of those other locations aren't future dungeons I'd be shocked. There's also Pray Online which hopefully I'll actually see pop someday.

It's come up a bunch of times already but it bears repeating that the last story duty is  in every way. I especially like how, even though the whole fight is a giant giddy FF7 reference, it doesn't rely on that to be a good fight. From the 30 foot tall greatsword-swinging god to the amazing music to the Best of ARR Boss Mechanics that get thrown at you, the whole thing feels designed from the ground up to make you feel like a total badass even though it really isn't hard at all. The bard mode version of this is going to be loving great.As for the story stuff, even though I nailed Lolorito's plan back in 2.55 I was not a fan of how he just sort of showed up and said "yes this was my plan, lets be friends again" and the status quo got reset with little fanfare. At least Raubahn didn't look overjoyed about the whole deal, so this will probably get revisited in an upcoming content patch. I suppose now its time to enjoy the hell of hunts, or the hell of leveling up gathering classes again.

The op mentions you can transfer over for about 20 bones, but can you only transfer over while servers are allowing for creation? If you just wanna try out the game then I'd give it a go on a lower pop server. Depending on your starting class, the first 15 levels are somewhat unique, so you can play to level 15 and if you like it, you can re-roll on Excalibur and try another class. That way you're not re-playing old content. It is absolutely not worth it to server transfer before level 50.

I am destined to be stuck on Ravana, I guess. This expansion has been a serious letdown between the ridiculous barrier to flight and somehow being completely unable to get seven people decent at this game together for an unchallenging boss fight. And don't tell me to ask the guild, I've been completely ignored four loving times.

DGKK or PBC? And is this four times of 'hey come help me do this trial' during FC rambling at whatever stupid bullshit, or did you actively annoy them until a group filled? It takes more than asking a single time for people to pay attention and or notice. Whenever I offer to help newbies on doing stuff, I usually take over asking in /fc for them since they are afraid to ask more than once every hour it seems. We don't mind spam, half of FC chat is white noise. Annoy them until a group fills up. It can be, and does get done multiple times a day. Rage posting on the forums isn't really gonna get you much response other than 'ask the fc' because thats what literally everyone else does. e: lol ridiculous barrier to flight, time to uninstall onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jun 28, 2015 |

My friend just xferred from gilgamesh to excalibur during primetime when there was a 40+ person login queue so it should work. Only thing is your char has to be 3 days old, so you gotta make it then wait, and there's a realistic chance 3am on Sunday night or after maintenance would let you make a new char.

Oh, and actually looking around Asyz Lla, there's some pretty obvious spoilers for what the 3.1 raid bosses will look like if you weren't paying close enough attention at the end of the MSQ. http://imgur.com/a/vfL92 Statues carved in the likeness of the Warring Triad, the first three primals the Allagans bound who Archbishop Thordan woke up before you fight him. I'm sure the gigantic angel wings on the central tower don't mean anything... (Kefka's Tower raid confirmed  )
