So, upon having acquired a few pieces of law gear, I'm now realizing it looks terrible. Are there some good resources for finding good sets for glamour/pretty princess dress up for this game? I've literally never glamour'd anything.

The bit with Adeledji getting fuckin destroyed totally caught me off guard and it was wonderful! I just did those quests last night and the story was really good. It got me really excited to go into the expansion.

Is Excalibur making GBS threads itself or is it just something with my connection?

The bit with Adeledji getting fuckin destroyed totally caught me off guard and it was wonderful! There's a lot to like about the end of 2.55 but the way the WoL does absolutely nothing for that entire hour-long sequence is frustrating and it's probably the most egregious instance where the smile-and-nod protagonist thing falls totally flat. The way they handle the WoL in cutscenes prohibits you from doing anything proactive in them most of the time, and normally they work around that by either not putting you in situations that demand immediate action or by resolving things or moving over to gameplay quickly enough that it isn't quite so glaring. For most of that ending sequence though I was just like "okay, come on, you're gonna have to let me do something here, right?" and they never did and it stuck in my craw enough that it still bothers me even though I know it really shouldn't.

I usually just browse through the Lodestone item database and/or xivdb, people have typically uploaded images of most things - and the icons on the former database are pretty big and give you a good idea of the item look even if there isn't a screenshot.

Just started the Ishgard stuff and the fact that Alphinaud has a new VA that doesn't make me switch tabs is cool too!

I just got to Ishgard last night so I tried out the new classes. I really love the animations for Dark Knight. I had thought about leveling a Machinist but fights with it seemed actively not fun.

I've switched phones since I last played FFXIV so I need to password from my account management page to get a one time password from my software token, but I need my one time password to enter my account management page. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way past this? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your best bet is to call customer service for this. Be prepared, when I did it I waited over an hour on hold. I have the emergency removal code stored in about 4 different places now so I'll never lose it.

They actually mention that in the 50 DRK quest. Speaking of which, that entire 30-50 questline is pretty incredible. Although it really makes me wish there was a chair made of skulls and bones in the game. The post 50 DRK trainer though, it's like YoshiP kept sending back the design with the words 'more spikes' and 'darker' written on them.

Is there a newbie thread for this game? I'm just starting out and tanking dungeons and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. Is it enough to just hold threat as a marauder or should I be doing something else on top of that?

Irish Joe posted:Is it enough to just hold threat as a marauder or should I be doing something else on top of that? If you can do that much you're doing better than 70% of newbie tanks. As you get higher levelled you'll get some debuffs you can put on from your Maim combo, but otherwise you're probably doing fine.

(In other words: as a tank early on, yeah, holding threat is your main concern. Make sure to play through each of the guildhests; they teach basic yet important tactics for dungeons and the like.)

staplegun posted:Most important is to have at least 600 gp, otherwise it's probably going to be really painful to collect anything that has significant challenge in it (basically anything requiring 450 collection for scrip turnins). I have just over 600 GP, but do these take into account revealing the items with toil or doing it manually?

Thumbtacks posted:I just saw Joye holding a pistol the cool way in a cutscene. Namely, she had the good /cpose where you hold the gun out like you're prepared for battle (the man one), and not the dumb female one where you're doing what I can only describe as Charlie's Angels but with Downs. Joye only. My Highlander, who can't even sit comfortably because they gave her a badass kneel instead, also does the knock knees gun up stance.

And if it gives law or people hunt a specific drop,they'll definitely be running it all week. They said it would be coil with echo difficulty... But twin Tania was night impossible with pugs, so we'll see how it shakes out.

Manually, you can check if toil is needed by just adding up the ability costs in the rotation. It's not used a lot after a certain point because toil becomes useless for collecting after level 56, since at 57 single mind serves the same purpose but for 100gp less. Before 57 though, there are some rotations that let you eke out another gathering attempt using it.

Stormgale posted:How do you get a second one, we've been sending ours out for a while. Currently PBC's GSS Yoship One is our only ship, and working closely with DGKK's Setalla we've determined so far that we have no idea how the next ship can be launched.  Right now we're speculating it could still be tied to having a higher rank but our leading theory is that while Yoshi P said up to four ships, he never said right away and its gated like Alexander or some other feature to make sure huge groups like ours don't get anywhere too fast ahead of everyone else. LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Also, what ship parts does an alchemist bring to the table with this? Or is there basically nothing I can do to help my FC with theirs because get rekt nerd? Alchs and lower level crafter's all have parts to play but it depends on the part as to if they will be needed. I can tell you for sure that anyone who wants tier 3 company actions will need an alch. ( to make aetherial wheels which is the exclusive way to get mark 3 actions and can only create said wheels from airship returned materials)

You can still use toil, you have to before 57 anyway. Important thing is to have enough perception to get 113 collectability per hit. You should be able to get 2x of the 450 items as soon as they're available.

Is it enough to just hold threat as a marauder or should I be doing something else on top of that? Your three main jobs as a tank are 1. hold threat, 2. do damage, and 3. not die. 1 and 2 are inextricably tied together, so it sounds like you're doing a great job so far! Someone is writing up a general tanking guide on the FFgoons site, that should be up in the next few days, so please look forward to it.
