There is a third GC hunting log that requires doing Wanderer's Palace but I don't remember if that's needed for max GC rank.

Cutters cry and wanderers palace aren't required, and I'm levelling all the crafting classes and gathering classes purely through turn ins. You get about a level a day for the first week. After I hit 15 I'll probably start doing really real crafting.

the trade cap is 1 million gil so good luck selling something that expensive through not the market board?

unless you seriously trust someone to just trade you 1m 6 times

You don't need luck, it's pretty standard for expensive items for someone to contact you. I've sold items through the trade panel a few times, never ran into a scammer or someone trying to trick me out. I've received 10m, 18m and 8m this way, it's just annoying that there's such a low cap.

e: For reference, Halitali is a lv20 dungeon, Cutter's Cry is 38, Darkhold is 44, Aurum Vale is 47, and Wanderer's Palace is lv50. None are required by the story

I haven't touched Wanderer's Palace save for the quest to unlock queuing for it and I have the third GC hunting log unlocked. (At max GC rank for that matter)

e: VVV Oh, I see, I misread. My bad.

WP doesn't unlock the third GC hunting log, the third GC hunting log just includes monsters from WP. It also isn't required for anything except an achievement (which gives you the GC escutcheon, I think).

Completing each GC Hunting Log gives you a mammet minion carrying the GC banner.

I sometimes check out streams for this game, and notice people doing some ?dungeon/raid? content with gamepad. I'd guess it to be viable, since the game is meant for consoles as well, but is it so even for Savage content and whatever are the more action-intensive roles, such as healers or summoner?

Granted I don't do savage, but the only times I have trouble is moving and using the d-pad at the same time. That's just a matter of putting your less used buttons there and occasionally having to claw though.

The devs have stated they do all of their raid testing on controllers. So yes.

The scholar and black mage in my static both use controllers, so I'd say it's viable. I'd never do it though.

You have the free AF for glamouring from level 45-50 job quests. AF2 gear was the good gear at 2.0 release and you needed to buy that with Myth tomes the same way you're buying lvl 60 AF with Eso Tomes. So until you farmed up enough tomes over the weeks to kit yourself out in AF2 you didn't have a stereotypical job look in 2.0 because the glamour system wasn't in place yet, and the other gear you wore at the time was darklight and it looked like poo poo besides the tincan tank.

I've got Machinist questions.

I finally started hitting 60 on my chosen jobs because I am slow and also have to level four at once (war, nin, mch, sch/smn). Now I need to actually make up my mind, and I was thinking about Mechanist. So, my questions here are for anyone with experience with it in the endgame.

Am I correct in assuming that in endgame content, the routine still largely consists of:

- Piling on buffs to get the biggest possible Wildfire you can manage towards the very beginning of a fight/phase?

- Spending the rest of the fight just John Madden'ing between whatever the hell decides to proc and whatever comes up on cooldown?

- Occasionally poking your turret to make it do something situationally helpful?

As DPS goes, I do sorta LIKE the proc-chaining style, as I find the other classes to be rather repetitive, but while leveling, it feels like the sheer damage is somewhat less compared to ninja, and MUCH less compared to summoner. As you start gearing up, does it start to hit harder, or even if not, do the group utility benefits carry their own weight? Or, does it continue to feel like a very 'high effort for mediocre reward' kinda thing?

He's talking about dark knight. The new jobs don't get any armor at all for their level 45&50 quests.

mch is incredibly anemic outside of wildfires

you're better at support than bard just because you can sustain mana song longer than a bard can

foes vs hypercharge really depends on comp

you will never do the damage of a pure class in comparable gear. your opening burst may beat them or come close, but as soon as your buffs fade you're back to losertown

Semi-related but drat do i ever hate Wildfire. It's such a good cooldown and it's functionally worthless on everything but bosses because nothing lives long enough.
