so I've currently got a mix of 160/170 gear and the 180 weapon, with an avg item level of 168: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/11373903/ if I want to do Alexander tomorrow (god willing, someone in my FC will have an open group), should I prioritize getting the 170 kilt, or 170 accessories? Figure that after all roulettes today I'm gonna have at least 475 law

So for Collectibles in DoH classes, should that be my primary way of leveling now?

Fat_Cow posted:So for Collectibles in DoH classes, should that be my primary way of leveling now? My strategy is: Use vendor-bought turnins to get a single class (weaver is best for this) up to 55, at which point you can buy crafting gear from moghome. If you chose weaver for this, make a set of HQ level 53 gear, and only use leves on classes below 53 until they're all 53. For classes above 53, use some combination of making a billion high-demand items like leathers or nuggets, and collectibles. Note that the collectibles change every day, so if the current batch are expensive to craft, just don't work on that class until it's cheaper.

I've been messing with this game and currently have my highest at a 39 WHM. It was until now that I ran into a distasteful person in a dungeon. The tank was killing every mob instead of rushing to the end. I can understand why that would be annoying to players but the one dps decided that because of that he no longer wanted part of the dungeon. But said that he won't pull and we had to kick him to get rid of him. Was an odd experience.

I tried SMN for the first time tonight (aside from a carbuncle CT run back before I finished my SMN quests) and.. I don't think I know what I'm doing with it. How do I play it effectively? I vaguely see what my poo poo would've been in 2.x, but how do I play it effectively at 60?

How do I play it effectively? I vaguely see what my poo poo would've been in 2.x, but how do I play it effectively at 60? There's a giant motherfucker of a SMN guide on Reddit. Here's a really unbelievably lovely tl;dr for you (that doesn't include the opening because it kind of makes my head hurt) - Keep Shadow Flare up under the boss, use Swiftcast for this when you can - Use Rouse, Spur and Enkindle on cooldown (these line up nicely due to being 1 2 and 3 minute cooldowns) - DoTs should have 100% uptime with minimal clipping, cast Bio at about 1-2 seconds left and the other two at 3-4 or so - Use Tri-disaster while in Dreadwyrm Trance if you can, they're both an every-minute sort of thing so they should line up--along with Contagion if you're using Garuda-egi - Try not to hardcast DoTs or replace an existing Shadow Flare (even with Swiftcast) while in Dreadwyrm, not being able to Ruin III is apparently a greater opportunity cost than it looks like - Don't overdo it on the Ruin IIIs because nothing will make you harder than missing your chance to Deathflare - If you're even remotely unsure, use Ruin II instead of Ruin; it's cheap enough that being able to move and use oGCDs is worth the cost Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Jul 7, 2015 |

Grinding trash mobs in dungeons really isn't that efficient, as you get a bonus for literally hundreds of times more exp for completing a dungeon than clearing a creep camp. Considering that dungeons can vary from anywhere between 20 minutes - 60+ minutes, it's a pretty unfun and suboptimal way to run a dungeon for experience. It's much better to clear a dungeon fast multiple times than do a full single run.

Then they left. drat, I wish I had good stories about good things happening. I stayed and rejected all the new randoms that wanted to abandon the duty in till we cleared it.

You'd probably have to run like 5 dungeons 'skipping' the optional mobs before the time saved added up to another 'fast' dungeon run so for most people it's better to spend like 5 minutes killing the extra mobs for the marginal xp because you're going to get the end of dungeon xp regardless of killing the optional mobs and it's not like you're going to be able to convert that time saved into another end of dungeon xp chunk.

Sometimes I only need one more dungeon's worth of experience until my next level, and as a dps queue it's nice when some tank doesn't just shrug and say "Just speed run two dungeons instead, it'll be faster!" Especially if you kill the goddamn Marlboro fruits without asking ahead of time.

So it takes you 20 mins to run it just going with the dungeon, 25 mins if you hunt all the packs. It seems it would be better just to start another dungeon instead of hunting packs because the dungeons will always have mobs to kill. Don't know how you would be annoyed with that.

Why? It's not very likely I'm going to sit down and run enough dungeons for that time to be converted into another dungeon. the only time skipping mobs and going for more dungeon completions makes sense is if you have a lot of time where you're running dungeons and can guarantee back-to-back queues.

I think you have mistaken what I said, I was refering to groups that want to kill all the monsters in all the nooks and crannies of the dungeon not skipping entire sections. Out of the way groups of monsters that are just there. Like clearing every single pack before the first boss in AK.

No, I know what you meant. What I mean is saving myself 5 minutes on a dungeon run doesn't really matter if I'm grinding xp if I don't run enough dungeons for that time to get me another dungeon. As a rule I don't ask for full runs and I main Warrior and will always do full runs if people ask, but it's just leaving xp on the table for no real reason if you don't full-completion.
