Thanks guys. Also, as far as farming glamour goes, can I farm the gear from Urth's Fount in an undersized party at level 60? Or does it require level and gear sync for items to drop?

Chest drops are unaffected by unsynced parties, just xp drops and actual enemy drops (like crafting mats from ex primals).

So I guess the conceit is that you can go back to (final 2.55 cutscene/HW spoilers) Ul'dah after being accused of regicide because you've saved the world no less than a dozen times from an evil empire, the physical manifestations of the wills and faiths of all the beast tribes of Eorzea and a weapon of mass destruction that can easily chump said manifestations so the Brass Blades and Crystal Braves aren't really putting their hearts and backs into it, right?

Yeah I meant Physick. I'm using Physick when the shield's up and Adlo when it's down, it's just that I barely have time to DPS if there's more than two or three enemies on the tank at once.

I'm hardly an expert at SCH but if you are having trouble keeping a tank alive (And assuming the tank isn't just garbage) then I wonder if you are using Eye for an Eye, Rouse, and Adlo pre-pull? All those things can give you some much needed time to lay out your dots. If the tank gets low you can drop stance and Lustrate him up pretty good.

If your numbers are just way too poo poo then you may have some gearing issues.

I think they've said it's only going to include 2.2-2.55. The old OST includes 2.0-2.1. No clue when HW is going to be out.

And to be clear, 2.0 does not mean all the other music, it just means all the music added for 2.0 relaunch; many of the songs are original pre-2.0 ones which are on the before meteor ost, so you're looking at about $150 total for all pre-hw music

Expert gives 75 the first time you do it each day, then 40 each subsequent time. Trial roulette gives 10. Frontlines gives something too.

If you hate yourself, sure. Dungeons are the best xp/hr, you get good gear, and you actually learn to play your class.

FATE only if you need something braindead and/or drop in/outable, or are in a situation where you have to solo queue as a DPS and don't want downtime (though if you can find just one tank or healer to queue wit, it will help.) Any available roulettes are first priority as they are far and away the best xp/hr, but if you want to keep going after you're out of those, queue for the highest level available dungeon.

Also at level 59 only do Library runs because it's the best goddamned dungeon in the game right now and level 59 is the only time you really ever get to run it BECAUSE THEY PUT THE BEST DUNGEON IN THE GAME IN THE ONE SPOT WHERE YOU WILL RUN IT THE LEAST ARASDHGAKGJAFASD no im not bitter

Yeah, I gave up on BLM. There are definitely people who can pull it off well, but Im bad at video games and I don't enjoy it.

I re rolled as AST because I love bad classes. Trying to decide if I want to stick with it or level WHM.

The last bit's the most important part. I learn pretty much jack poo poo about playing my class when burning through FATEs compared to going through dungeons, and I'd much rather have a slightly harder time getting to 60 and knowing how to do EXDR just fine vs. getting to 60 and having no loving clue what buttons to press.

Just a general noob question: does this game get really hard at level 30 or did I miss something? I did my job quest and got Ninja, and the first training mission took me like 4-5 tries (My First Mudra). Overall even doing random quests I feel far more fragile than I ever did before and I'm just wondering if I would have been better if playing a more tanky class.

At 30 gear starts to really matter. By the time you get to Brayflox if you feel like a squishy poo poo, it might behoove you to farm out the gearset there as it lasts until you get your iconic job gear in the 40s.

Also as I recall you need to use Perfect Dodge to do that quest.

None of the solo content in this game is actually difficult. The number one mistake a lot of people make is that they actually do things when entering a solo instance and that is incorrect. When you first zone into a solo instance you want to just stand stock still until enemies appear and they engage whatever is they are going to engage. 9 times out of 10 this means a boss will engage a nearby helpful npc and some trash mooks will run at your face. Once you have determined that whatever friendly npc is there to help has gotten aggro on as much as possible, then you begin killing things. There are a few instances where this is not the case (tank class quests almost always expect you to pick up everything for example) but this works so often it should be your default strategy. Also, once things are set, you want to stand near friendly npc's because drat near all of them are jobless scrubs who cross class cure.
