I just had the most interesting Haukke Manor experience ever on my Dark Knight doing the low level dungeon roulette. The group started talking about how their last tank kicked their friend and left the group. So I'm just thinking what this group possibly did to drive the last tank insane since they were a really talkative and nice group. One of the Black Mages would run up and stand beside me casting Blizzard 2. And when he accidentally walks into a room with monsters he would run far away from me going "NO NO NO NO" while I'm scrambling to catch up and try to get aggro. I haven't laughed this much in a dungeon in awhile.

I did a Neverreap a little earlier with a Black Mage who liked to Blizzard III when he was out of mp, cast Thunder II while one tick of mp came back, then cast Fire four times to get back to Astral Fire III. No Enochian use.

So if I'd like to digitally purchase the soundtrack for this, what's the best way? I looked on iTunes and there's like 7 different albums.

If you want the complete soundtrack, then you want the 3 albums that have 60+ songs; the ones with 14ish are just random collections that already exist in the 'main' ones. Keep in mind that if the first two are still over :50bux: you're better off buying those albums straight from SE then either keeping or reselling them if you have a grey morals. The third album is only about 28 on itunes, but I just bought the individual tracks that I wanted from it. I feel like I'll probably be getting the entire soundtracks later on, but the individual tracks are good enough to hold me over. Also, keep in mind that the soundtrack is only up to 2.55; 3.0 stuff officially isn't released yet

Have TPTB said why the new jobs don't have Hunting Logs and (as I unfortunately just found out) Level 45/50 job quests to unlock AF gear?

New jobs are not classes and also start far later than normal hunt logs so there's likely a weird technical limitation. As for the gear, they added an AF for the new jobs, it's just at 60 not 45/50. There wouldn't be much benefit to them adding another AF set just to fill in that old gap.

Rank 18 bird. So loving close. Edit: Also if you're in TPT and haven't logged in for a while, your bird is probably capped in the stable. Take it out and kill something. Also feed some other people's birds while you're in there.

So after spending almost all my money on dumb stuff (Relic) and not dumb stuff (glamours) I now need to make some more. So what's a good way to make gil that doesn't require me to already have loads? I don't want to make millions, but a few hundred thousand would be nice just so I can at least buy stuff from vendors without it making a serious dent in my funds.

What is the best way to do crafting, take crafting professions you want for a specific character or make a crafting alt and leveling all crafts with that alt? Can you you mail crafted items from an alt to your mains?

There's no reason to level a crafting alt. You also can't mail between characters on the same account.

Well, i suppose that you could double up on unspoiled nodes and scrip caps, but you're not some sort of crazy person, are you? edit: oh it wasn't what he was asking  . Yeah, just use a single character to level everything. Gearing an alt to do it might clear up some free retainer inventory space but it's really not worth the hassle.

There is no particular reason to make an alt. All of the classes will fit on a single character without limits. The "best" way to do crafting is not to pick out a couple classes you like, but actually to level all of them at once (Or one at a time). The reason for this is that each crafting class has unique cross-class skills they learn at levels 15, 37, and 50. You pretty much want all of them if you want to attempt serious crafting past level 50. The usual path of an omnicrafter is something like this: 1. level every crafting class to 15. This can be done in an evening, especially if you buy the crafting experience bonus item from your Grand Company. 2. Level Culinarian to 37. 3. Level carpenter to 50. 4. Level everything else to 50 in whatever order (I recommend Weaver at some point early on). The 2 best ways to do this, in my opinion, are courier leves and grand company turn-ins. Courier leves give a massive amount of exp for the effort they take, and you can gain dozens of levels in an hour. Grand company turn-ins are something you do once a day and give a very respectable amount of exp. Neither of these require actually crafting, since you can buy turn-in items from the market board or get FC members to do it for you. I suggest making or buying only HQ turn-ins too, which are worth double the exp, to maximize efficiency. Also find the highest exp-giving leve currently available, and chain-run that one over and over. Don't waste leve allowances on the lovely ones. You only gain 3 leve allowances ever 12 hours, and this is likely be your main bottleneck. Assuming you don't go broke, of course. One final point to mention is that crafting, by and large, is a loving sink-hole for gil. There are some few ways to make money, but most of them require high-level crafting and gathering together, which you are going to spend millions of gil and dozens of hours reaching. All of this should also be considered while keeping in mind that crafting is loving useless for 90% of regular gameplay. Sure you can make yourself neat gear for leveling or whatever, but there is always going to be a better version that is waaaaay easier to get farming whatever tomestone of the patch cycle we're currently on is. Most of the useful things you will make as a crafter, you will end up selling to other crafters, feeding into a vicious cycle into which money disappears. It's a pretty fun mini-game, though. EDIT: also I should mention, trying to get into crafting without at least a half a million gill in reserve is going to probably be painful. You can save money by gathering mats yourself... but now you're talking about doubling the time commitment of something that is already pretty gargantuan.

Crafting also lets you repair your gear to 199% durability (repairing gear adds a flat 100% durability), so if you've got level 50 in every non-CUL crafter and carry some Grade 6 Dark Matter around you'll never have to worry about durability again.

For this reason, if nothing else, pushing all the crafts to 50 is worth doing, and relatively inexpensive. Beyond that, though, lies madness. I say as someone whose first eight classes to 60 were crafters.

The level 55 wyvernskin maps are an easy way to make a bit of extra money. I'd say about 30,000 gil per map on average if you sell the rewards, give or take a few thousand. Dragon skin maps are more lucrative but you need extra people to do them.

Keep them even up until the split and then focus DPS on the one with higher HP. Multidotting is fine as long you can handle the loss in DPS counted for the DPS check (it's still overall encounter DPS)

So does it just take FOREVER to get allied seals now since you don't get them from HW hunts (afaik) and even if you do, no one seems to do A/S ranks. Just gotta do daily/weekly bills I guess.

No Enochian use. The thing with Black Mage in Heavensward, is that you don't get Fire 4 until level 60 and it's the combination of Fire 4 and Blizzard 4 that make the Enochian cycle. Before that you still need to use your 2.0 cycle, although at 58 you can use Bliz 4 to prolong Enochian's buff if you're paying attention. But otherwise it is just a DPS cooldown. Then you get to 60, get Fire 4 and are expected to go out into dungeons and the world and figure out how to use it. Which is fine for the average MMO player that experiments with their skills and tries new things out, but a lot of people rely on their class quests to explain how to use their basic stuff in FFXIV and the new BLM stuff just doesn't. Honestly I think Enochian, Bliz 4 and Fire 4 should have been earned at 52, 54 and 56 to give people a chance to experiment with them and to learn how they work. Leylines is a nice cooldown, and sharpcast is novel, but they could have stuck the core new rotation in earlier.

Crafting is cool and good. It is not crafting's fault a lot of you are super mad about red scrip crap when you could just be grabbing the unmelded pieces to look fly as hell. Reasons you should craft: 1. Some of the best looking gear is crafter only. If you don't immediately get the weaver af2 set the second you can then you are loving up harder than any fracture cross-classer. 2. Repair your poo poo in a dungeon when you forget to repair like a jackass. 3. Making gear for your alt jobs rules. Someone a page or 2 ago was like "I don't need to craft gear when I can get token gear" or some nonsense and it's like bitch that's cool and all but levels 1-45 and then 50-59 are actually shockingly expensive if you want hq gear. And you should because dumpstering some cocky drg on your "garbage tier machinist" rules hard. 4. Crafting is fun. Except when you nq something at 99% quality then you kind of want to die. Don't craft to make money though. That is a fool's errand. Failboattootoot fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Sep 14, 2015 |

There's a breakpoint, i feel around a 4% difference, where the damage you take drops distinctly to easily survivable.
