For the first few levels, just buy gear from vendors for leve turnins. At some point you want to swap to collectible/making your own HQ leve turnins, but that poo poo is expensive. A slower but less expensive way to level is to just make endless quantities of something basic you can sell on the marketboard, like rainbow thread.

What about CUL or ALC? Neither have vendor turnins (as far as i can tell) and the 50 leves have 3+ star requirements.

If you wanted to level ALC you missed the train because people were selling stuff like Pudding/Gelato Flesh, Deepeye Tears and Wyvern Wings for like 400gil each during Early Access Weekend.

There's a reasonable demand for holy water out of alchemist, so if you can do it without dying of boredom, making that could be a good way to ding 51 and suddenly have vaguely-real stats.

You can probably force your way through getting NQ versions of leve turnins honestly. It might be expensive though.

So, Yoshi-P said a thing at Japan Expo, saying that FFXIV now has almost 5 million players. (His exact words, although we should probably take this to mean "accounts", as opposed to actual people.)

Given that Blizzard's own Q1 earnings call indicated that WoW was at 7.1 million subscribers, I'm feeling pretty good about FFXIV's spot relative to #1.

Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
While high, he was talking created accounts not actual players. For comparison, WoW has something like 100m+ created accounts but only 7.1 million subscribers.

"Active paid subscriptions"would be a better metric to cut out gold spam bots and a much more fair comparison since I think I heard wow went to a freemium model

Created accounts for 14 in this case doesn't count trial accounts, just box sales.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

Now that Warrior is nearly geared up I think I'm going to ride this MCH pain train to 60 and see how it plays out in the long run. I played War since 2.0 launch, and that was a fun trial by fire to get better at tanking. It's going to be interesting to see how they change up and evolve MCH over time, or if they don't, to see how hard I have to push myself to be optimal at the class. It's a really problematic job, but it's got a lot of puzzley optimization elements that are really tickling my brain in all the right spots.

You can buy tokens for in-game gold that give you game time now, so if you have the gold you can effectively play for free. Blizzard recently nerfed the biggest and easiest way to make gold because they obviously want more people paying money for subs than gold.

EDIT: Is it stupid that the thing I'm most excited about in HW is finding out what that UFO ends up being? My vote is still on Lunar Whale.

I think it's a fun class. Only thing that gets annoying is when you don't have any reloads up and you're just spamming 1-1-1-1-1-1 because you lose all the coin flips in the world.

One thing I'd like to know is, after you use Wildfire in your opener, is it better to use Wildfire as soon as it comes back up or do you want to wait for Hypercharge to come back up first? Do you want to at least wait for Reload?

Thankee kindly.
Part of the reason I stopped playing a healer was because their gear was really plain.

And now I find that the next dungeon I'm going to drops caster gear that looks like a shawl and loincloth.

Life is suffering. You'd think they'd give the gladiator looking gear to the gladiators.

Pretty much. It's actually fun when you have Wildfire and stacks of special ammunition and complete horseshit when you don't.

I wait for at least Reload. Everything else depends on the fight at hand.

Almost all the pre-50 gear looks like poo poo, with notable exceptions of certain green dungeon drops. One of the great things about heavensward is that the leveling gear actually looks really nice.

Uh. I'm pretty sure *someone* has to pay for that token in the first place, to put it on the market, so I don't really think they care how people sub?

Nerfing the garrison gold will probably increase the number of people buying the token, so I dunno what he was going on about with that bit.

Only reason to buy the token is to sell it for gold, if the game shits gold on you there's no reason to buy it to sell it anymore. Even if the price gets extremely high you'll get to a point where it doesn't really matter how much the thing is worth because most people will have enough and don't want to put 20 bucks in when there's no need.

I would raise the point that actually putting things in WoW worth spending gold on rather than an armour-plated turd of a snow mobile would be better than beating what fun remains the game around the face with a large stick. Of course, that would involve breaking the development paradigm of "Social media/Apex Crystal dailies/Somehow making Ashran even worse than before".

You know, not that I'm bitter or anything.
