Nah, WTFast still does look really shady. That's been my main apprehension, their service could be manna from heaven for all I know but their design makes me unable to shake the idea that I've installed a virus. Battleping and Pingzapper both look credible by comparison, but then the question becomes "Why is Pingzapper somehow half the price of Battleping?" I have no idea if there's an actual difference that would come from that.

Just finished the Hildibrand questline. Game of the year for every year. I really hope they do more Hildibrand. Also I got a green chicken on my first fight.

I mean, literally, back in the 5-30 grind if I bothered with all the sidequests, I'd gain a couple levels and items and then the very next set of MSQs would just give me equipment which made everything the side quests just gave me obsolete. I literally have been building a secondary (and part of a teritiary) equipment set each level from all of the redundant rewards at each tier. I did follow a guide of all the unlockable game features so I didn't miss any mechanics. Many of the sidequests and been fun, funny or interesting- it's not that I dislike them or anything. Just, I want some fun, funny, and interesting to last during my alt grinds too.

Evader posted:Mind you, I have stopped, but care to expand on this? For your first class, you get a certain amount of XP from side quests, a certain amount from dungeons/guildhests/killing mobs, and then XP from the main story quest. For subsequent classes that are lower than your highest leveled combat class, the amount you get from dungeons/guildhests/mobs is flat out doubled. The amount of XP you get from side quests, however, is not - it stays the same. Therefore, "saving" sidequests for secondary classes is actually wasteful, because to make up the XP you're doing extra dungeons/guildhests/killing mobs on your primary class (which won't get the 100% bonus). Do your sidequests on your primary class, use dungeons/FATEs for leveling on secondary classes because secondary classes will get double XP for those things while your primary will not.

Or do both at the same time, whatever you feel like that hour. One of the best things about this game is the ability to do that, take advantage of it.

BattleCake posted:Well im glad to hear ill be able to find parties but im a bit disappointed to hear about the difficulty. Does it not scale down your items or is there another reason its easy? It's tuned around level 50 characters with i120 gear. If you do it at 60 with i180 gear, its a joke. You can go in level and gear sync'd though, but you're much less likely to get people willing to do that.

Mr. Nice! posted:It depends. Most dungeons have a negligible accuracy cap, so wear whatever gear you have that's 110+ and gives the best stats. It will all be synced down as an HQ 110 item with regards to stat caps, so you can have a set of gear for level synced stuff that has a better stat allocation than what you might have with your 170 set. You seriously do not need another set for level synced dungeons.

Going to give this game a try, because my wife started playing it on the PS4 and she's enjoying running around hitting things. Might even be done patching some time this year! I was curious, in anyone's experience, if there were any crafting jobs that were worth going after as a new player, and any crafting classes one might consider staying away from? I inevitably piss away too much time and money on crafting. About all I know about the how I'll be starting is that I'll be grabbing Marauder so I can start in L L or whatever and at level 10 I'll be picking up Rogue, but this is more "because that's what is there" and less "This is where my character life will ultimately end up." Also, any websites that show what different armor sets look like? I remember in FFXI there was the model viewer, and the wiki would often show screenshots of completed sets, but I haven't found that with this game yet outside of images of the artifact sets.

sethimothy posted:Going to give this game a try, because my wife started playing it on the PS4 and she's enjoying running around hitting things. Might even be done patching some time this year! For crafting, it actually is best to level all the classes to 50 because each one gets a unique skill which can be used by any of the others, and quite a few of them are important. Additionally, there's a lot of crossover in crafting recipes where a craft for, say, blacksmith, will also use items from carpenter or leatherworker. It's less important to take them all to 60 right now, but if you like crafting you'll probably end up doing it anyway. In terms of priorities, Carpenter is the most important if you want the best results from crafting for it's critical level 50 skill. In practical terms, Culinarian will provide the biggest benefit to playing the game as you can make your own food. Alchemist to a lesser degree for if you want to use stat potions frequently. The general recommended path for everyone totally new to crafting is all crafts to 15 -> CUL to 37 -> CRP to 50 -> whatever you like.

Crafting is an all or nothing thing, either you level most/all the classes or none at all. They're also very much separate from the battle classes, so don't worry about needing one while leveling (or at all). Rogue/Ninja is fun, though you might enjoy it less if you have bad internet. It's very ping dependant. At 15, you'll get access to other cities, make sure you pick up pugilist in Ul'dah and level it to 15 so that you can get access to your Ninja job at 30. Afaik someone is working on a model viewer but its very much in beta and isn't very good.

sethimothy posted:Going to give this game a try, because my wife started playing it on the PS4 and she's enjoying running around hitting things. Might even be done patching some time this year! There's not really a particularly bad or good crafting class; in fact, their skills are all intertwined to the point that it's generally recommend that at the VERY LEAST you level everything to 15. In terms of moneymaking, I would think that Alchemist and Goldsmith do the best because they make intermediate materials that a lot of the other classes need, and still sell at a profit. I can only speak for Exclalibur but carpentry tends to be ridiculously out of whack, where the logs that it takes to make the lumber cost more per piece than the lumber does. Please feel free to ignore my advice as soon as a more experienced crafter shows up, though. The main takeaway here is that there's not really a bad crafting class. It is kind of difficult to keep them levelled alongside your main combat class, and to be honest, the story quests are going to be handing you gear so often you're not really going to need to craft your own stuff. As for model viewing, I think xivmodels.com is what you're looking for. I can't connect to it, but my Internet's being hosed up today so I dunno if it's actually down. Xivdb.com is your Wowhead equivalent for this game, incidentally.

Where/how you start only matters for the first 10-15 levels, then you can be everywhere/everything at once (minus expansion stuff). 3. Out of the game, idk. In game, you can 'try on' gear by selecting it (on the market board, in a vendor list, by checking someone, in a quest reward box, or if someone links it in chat).

Crafting is insane, it is it's own game in itself pretty much. All crafting classes are great at making money, some more than others I guess. You can make serious bank even making early game gear for people with too much money and not enough sense. Yeah, a tank class like marauder will get you in queues really fast but you do have more responsibilities, boils down to making sure monsters don't hit other people really. Rogue, which eventually becomes Ninja, is a great class too. There aren't really any armor galleries out there unfortunately. There was a site a year or so ago that fell into disuse and stopped updating. It's really the only "outside of game" resource ff14 is lacking. You can ask around and maybe someone will post a screenshot of a character with the gear set you want. you can also view people's gear and "try it on" to see if you like it before committing to earning it.

I mean, the plan for that was always using the tank LB3 to survive Teraflare, but you don't build limit when you're outleveling everything by that much. How do you get through it now? Does everyone have enough HP that it's cool?

Everyone who keeps saying crafting is great should level their crafts to 60, look at the endgame, and then revise their statements when they try to convince new people to craft. Crafting is now truly something you only do past 50 if you really want to craft. nuru fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Jul 27, 2015 |

So am I missing something about Aero II? It seems like it's only a little more powerful than Aero, but it has a cast time and costs significantly more MP. Is it only worth using since it stacks with Aero and you can just double on DOTs that way? Or am I dumb?

Post 50 crafting is something to do if you have way too much gil and would really like to use it all. I've spent so much gil and time getting everything to 60 (LTW still 57). And I include not just selling the mats for gil as "spending" gil, because I'm not making a profit on it!

On the one hand, I recognize that you're not wrong. On the other hand, I still enjoy doing the little bits of crafting that I do in between dungeons. It's relaxing. Does it have a point? Nah, not in the grand scheme of things, since all I'm spending the gil I'm making is on more crafting mats to make more money. But every now and then, I need a glamour, or I need to gear up an alt, and BAM, I have over 2 million gil in the bank to drop on whatever it is. I'm not trying to come off as defensive, or anything, I'm trying to point out that if you're not worried about being super mega endgame crafter you can at least get some enjoyment out of it.

It's not so much the lack of point as the hilariously tilted road for crafting once you hit 60 on them. If I decide to go craft 450 red scrips right now it will cost me approximately 2.25 million gil based on MB material prices for the CUL materials I need. That's for a single week. You're right that it's fine if you just want to level them then not really do much with it beyond tinkering.
