And they're always in Ul'dah. Which continues its fine reputation as the worst place in Eorzea.

I really like Ul'dah, more that the other 2 cities, both in layout and in scenery. :shobon:

Plus every time you get a cutscene with the leader of the city she always has that dude pick her up on his arm and its super :3:

Ul'dah has the best music, but I never know where the hell anything is.

Gridania's probably my favorite, both for the simple design and chill forest vibe. Doesn't hurt that it was my starting city.

Maybe I just need to enlarge my hotbars, but I wish you could have numbers on your cooldown overlays instead of just the shaded sweep animation. Sometimes I'll take a quick glance and be fooled into thinking something is off cooldown when in reality it has like 10 seconds left.

IIRC, the border of the skill will be highlighted when it's ready to use.

Limsa's day theme is one of my favourite tracks in the game, with Ishgard's night and day themes pretty up there too.

Going to ask a question that may have been asked a billion times much earlier in the thread: if I just started playing again with a fresh character, is there any reason for me to buy Heavensward or do I just wait until I am at/near 50 with a job?

I asked this not too long ago and it was unanimously said to wait until you finish the entire story before buying the expansion since none of it unlocks until you do so.

Unless you really, really want to be a dragon person there's absolutely no reason to buy the expansion before finishing the old story quests.

Well you get xp while doing them, not sure if you can do that without HW. If you're slow you might get to 51 by the time you finish 2.55 MSQ

Its so sad that its 10k 5K exp per quest.

In total, there's 93 quests that award 4.8k exp at 50 if you have Heavensward on your account, might as well.
18 quests that give you 0 exp unless they added it.

So about 10 Heavensward quests, but the first 5 are finished just watching cutscenes in the first town.

Only the first one of the day from each roulette is boosted. Just think 10%ish exp, guildhest/trials give way less.

Send all of your gathering friends cordials, they'll love you forever.

If you plan to gather yourself for some reason, buy a bunch for yourself and also engineering manual IIs. They stack now!

I completely forgot you could get cordials for seals. gently caress. I'm leveling bot/mining right now.

And engineering manuals aren't worth poo poo. They give you a max bonus of 40k xp. Not worth the amount of seals they cost IMO.

A21. I definitely think we kind of over did it with the Moogle-related quests, so we will be careful in the future not to have these kind of quests. It seems like there is a high amount of hatred towards the Moogles who keep getting lost.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

So Machinist, post-changes. I mostly just use Gauss Barrel if Hot Shot/Lead Shot are already up and I have Rapid Fire/Reload ready to go. Like I mostly use GB as an opener and then take it off until I have the CDs ready to use it again/maximizing Wildfire damage. Good idea, bad idea?

Like idk my opener is still being played around with because I'm not 60 but it's like Rook Turret > Hot Shot > Gauss Barrel > B4B/RS > Wildfire > Ricochet > Rapid Fire > Lead Shot > Reload > 1 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 etc > Off GCD moves and then once all my proc'd abilities are expended I take the Barrel off to reapply Hot Shot and Lead Shot without the cast time.

You're technically losing DPS on any fight where you don't have to move if you do that but GB is also completely rear end to play with so i can understand not wanting it up
