I want to reassure you that the patch stories get much better, especially post-Leviathan, and offhand I don't recall any escort quests after that moogle one you did.

Escorting NPCs in an MMO is the worst thing ever. I still have flashbacks of doing Jailbreak! runs.

Shoots you to test your armor.

Jumps off a fort wall and shoots a bunch of turncoats.

Will straight-up "Dodge this." cap you in the head.

Will blow your nuts off at point-blank range.

Basically, she will straight up shoot you.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Merlwyb does cool things.

She never sounded cool to me though, I got a distinct Fran-like vibe from her in ARR. A sort of 'ok I know what you're going for and how you're sounding but there's just something wrong with the way you sound.'

I no longer get that vibe in Heavensward so she's improved quite a bit!

Download guild works. Wait for purple text saying blah blah A/S rank spawned. Click the map link. Run to the zone. Spam shout for an invite kill monster. Repeat until you have the upgrades you need.

Do I need to pick something up from a board? Where do I spend said tokens?

I'll be honest, I probably wouldn'tve taken much note in the change of Merlwyb, Raubahn, and Alphinaud's voices had it not been pointed out. The biggest difference seems to be that they can speak in conversational tones now without seeming stilted.

Tataru was very noticeable though. Following up her performances as Rosabeth and Fiora, Carina Reeves continues to be charming and adorable in the utmost. :kimchi:

To clarify, you can tell the difference because A ranks are aggressive while B ranks are not. If it didn't aggro when you approached it, it's a B rank and thus worth nothing unless it's your weekly target.

Also get your daily and weekly hunts from the board outside the forgotten knight in the foundation. You get a shitton of seals just doing those.

The symbol for a B rank will be blue while the symbol for an A will be red.

You need to do a few quests at your GC to unlock hunts. If you haven't done those, I don't think you will get anything from killing hunt targets. To unlock those quests, you'll need to be at the max level of your GC.

You should always have your soul crystal equipped; any XP you gain applies to the class (so your SMN and SCH will always be at the same level). You get a huge stat boost and access to good abilities at the cost of losing a couple cross-class slots.

Always have your soul crystal equipped for that class. You gain a bunch of stats and it lets you use class-specific abilities. The only benefit to not using your classes' soul crystal is that you can use more crossclass skills from other classes, but they don't make up for your class specific skills.

Glamour or not, it is some specious logic that causes you to skip buying your weapon to buy another piece of gear that costs more. I can totally understand doing it as any other class - hell, I did it on Scholar, but on Paladin?

I don't try to argue against people being pretty anymore , but you're right that the cost of the PLD weapon makes it a crazier choice.
