Stormgale posted:Generally side mission quests while levelling (For a long while) will just be that, consider 1-50 like the training stage of Teaching anyone how MMO's work, the MSQ tries to be interesting and at 50 and beyond quests start being a little different/substantive. Got it figured that was the case.

So how do you tell what kind of fish needs which hookset? Is powerful exclusively for the ones that make that ominous creaking sound that sounds like it'll snap your rod in half?

The first primal fight is at 20, but I think the story doesn't kick into permanent high-gear mode until after Titan or so? So around 35.

Wish I could paste swtor level story stuff to ff14s better mechanics. You just got through 15 levels of "ok Japanese players, since you haven't played World of Warcraft and EQ for the last couple decades, here's how an online theme park mmo works." The level 15 main story starts having you do dungeons and generally picks up from there.

In terms of what you are actually doing, never. It is always going to be punch some bears, collect some bear asses, touch this thing and they don't ever get fancy with it like WoW had in cataclysm and beyond..

cheetah7071 posted:How much GP do you have to make that practical? I'm currently sitting at a hodgepodge of stuff that adds up to just enough GP to use patience 2 until my LTW gets high enought o make me a new set (or red scrips include rightside). I have 611 GP. If I wait to use Patience until I'm full, I can generally get away with using one of the Hookset skills for all but maybe two catches before the buff runs out. Then again I haven't put in the effort to get the rest of the way to 60 yet, so I'm still using unmelded level 55 leftside and 2.x melded accessories. I'm sure it'll work even better with melded / red scrip level 60 gear.

Though I'd like to add, this game isn't necessarily about questing as much as WoW is/was. The MSQ is a big deal, sure, but even that is mostly a way to get you into a bunch of dungeons and trials. At low endgame the focus isn't daily quests as much as daily random dungeons and trials; only one part of endgame really does daily fetch quest bullshit and it's eminently ignorable. On top of that, yeah the boar rear end quests may not be too exciting but it's all really an excuse to push you through the narrative anyway, which is actually compelling and worth paying attention to.

Does this game's subscription timer count down from the global 9am PT time or the time you register a new subscription? Basically will I be docked "1 day" if I subbed right now 9 hours before the global time reset?

I do not believe so. I believe that the timer counts from the moment you sub, as I have been kicked off the game at varying times of the day when my sub expires.

Patch notes are somewhat up at: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/maintenance/topics/detail/44dbad853713a8b307cc4745b8d28688cb23af11#bsm As I expected and posted earlier new crafting AF is crafted. The new AF has different names for the new DoH jobs. Also new offhand and mainhand tools. Goldsmith -> Gemmaster Leatherworker -> Hidemaster Culinarian -> Galleymaster Weaver -> Boltmaster Blacksmith -> Forge or Hammermaster (unsure) Armorer -> Forge or Hammermaster (unsure) Carpenter-> Millmaster Alchemist -> Cauldronmaster Red scripts have a maximum obtainable amount of 500 a week with the cap being 450. I expect materials needed for the new AF gear to be bought with red scripts. I.E. Raziqcoat Also interesting there seem to be multiple new AF for the crafting jobs. I can see a Gemmaster's gown (ilvl170) and a Gemkeep's gown(ilvl180) in the list Jahuran fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Jul 21, 2015 |

Huh, why on earth is Ultimate Ballad required for Savage? I haven't done it before. I guess maybe I'll be able to get a sub-hour DF queue for it if other people are doing it but I'm not holding my breath. Wasn't really going to do Savage anyways because I don't have a static, so I guess it doesn't matter  e: whoa you can buy Doman items with law now? is this them admitting that hunts are a super unfun mechanic or what abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Jul 21, 2015 |

Jahuran posted:Patch notes are somewhat up at: Checking the Eorzean database there appear to be two versions of each DoH/DoL AF: a 170 meldable crafted version and a 180 non-meldable version that has an unknown source. Probably scrips. So there seems to be two tiers: one for the rich-as-all-gently caress player who can afford to craft (return of Demimateria) and meld each piece, and one who wants to grind out scrips to acquire pieces that are probably less good than max melded stuff but still appear to be quality items.

Looking over the AST changes, Lightspeed went from being g a trap skill to something you won't cancel after the first cast when used as a ghetto Swiftcast. Not sure how I feel about the MP reduction of Ewer being turned into a Refresh, though. A lot of BLMs just got very unhappy over that. Also not sure why they switched the Royal Road effects of Ewer/Spire and Arrow/Spear, unless the chances of getting each card is not actually equal. Would certainly explain why I draw and shuffle seven Ewers in a row. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Jul 21, 2015 |

So, if you're not doing Savage, is the Esoterics gear kind of the last grind until 3.1? Like, Esoterics gear is all better than the story Alexander gear, so the only reason to run Alexander at this point is if you like the way that set looks, I guess? This is all confusing.
