Loved the guys in the back who were getting the mounts and minions ready. Then they teased me with a mention of a Wind-Up Doomtrain :smith:


He's playing FF14 in FF14... There's a Yo Dawg in here somewhere.

Congratulations on beating FFXIV's endgame.

The anniversary event is legitimately good. It's been a long time since the series has had a hidden developer room.

Wasn't he the one in the 14 hour livestream last year that was farming atmas?

Its a reference to last year's 14 hour stream where he was trying to collect all the atmas in a single sitting. At some point he began riding a mechanical horse.

The best part about the 14-hour livestream and the Atma farming was that several fans decided to stream their own 14-hour farming session alongside the stream, because fans are weird.

One guy notably didn't get a single atma drop in that 14-hour window. :laugh:

I know nothing of crafting.

The item you are going to want to gather will require a specific gathering threshold. It varies from most pieces of ore/stone. You will need 600 GP in order to effectively do collectibles (the best way to level a gatherer) past 50. I think endgame crafting is like 601 Gathering, 645 (not entirely sure on that number) Perception, and 600 GP.

My molecule scrambler ray will disintegrate your armor with one blow!
Just wanted to give a quick trip report for anyone in a similar situation: I have an account with PC ARR (but parted out the gaming PC long ago), a PS4 ARR+HW (which I'm temporarily away from), and most recently PS3 ARR. It's been confirmed by the devs that if you log out in a HW-only area and try to log in with an ARR-only account, it will prevent you from ever logging in.

However, I can confirm that the restriction does not apply to levels over 50. I have a 56 character that was logged out in an ARR area and was able to use it without any problems from the PS3's ARR-only account - all abilities intact (after reassigning them to the fresh hotbar), post-50 XP earned, and changing equipment/jobs back and forth didn't block anything out.

I didn't try teleporting to a HW area for fear of the teleport succeeding then the server kicking me off and basically locking the account until I shell out another $40, but everything's dandy while staying in ARR areas

I thought that was more tongue in cheek teasing than actual hinting at what new classes could be.

e: V no, tanks should be able to survive enough damage for you to actually get some DPS in before you need to heal them again. Were they geared to the right level, using cooldowns? If they're paladins they suffer a lot through the 30s since they don't get their tank stance until 40.

So levels 1-30 of CNJ were pretty cool because I could play with cleric stance and help out doing damage but now I'm in Brayflox and it's like if I do anything but spam Cure on the tank they just loving explode... I know from prior experience that things will just continue to hit harder but is WHM/AST/SCH post-30 in dungeons just a lot of tank babysitting?

White Mage gives you Regen, passive healing that helps out a ton.

Nah, it doesn't stay that bad. iirc, Brayflox is early enough that some tanks are still missing good poo poo like Shield Oath that make your life easier.

It really could go either way, but considering that they're already working on the next expansion, I wouldn't be very surprised.

So I haven't kept up to date..How are the 3 new classes nowadays in comparison to their role counterparts?

Also did they put a catch up system in crafting that doesnt require tons of gil?

Last question..does the golden saucer stuff give you any worthwhile rewards for playing any games (races/TT/etc)?
